It feels like waking up in the middle of the night and watching Arsenal lose a match. Waking up at 8am to watch the American Idol Finale was originally something much enjoyable, until the winner was announced, then, I realized, American Idol is crap. lol. Screw them, screw fans who vote for Kris only because he looks good (when this is a singing competition), screw fans who vote for Kris only because they are homophobic (when this is, once again, a singing competition). Really, I've looked at every possible angles and Kris doesn't even deserve to win, lol. I bet the judges are going to agree that Adam was robbed. I bet it is one of the few times that Paula has mispredicted the winner. It's frustrating, awrgh. Oh wells, I can only sit here and wait patiently till Adam's album is being cut. I'll buy it off the shelves for sure.
Other than the results, every other things were great. The performances, it was one huge treat early in the morning. lol. Lots of laugh, lots of performances that I was in awe of.
The arrival of Jason Mraz, my jaw dropped, like o.O Boy, is this Finale a big one, lol. Lucky Anoop Dawgg and Alexis, to be singing alongside this huge superstar. lol.
And then it was Queen Latifah. Like duh, who else to put alongside Queen Latifah than Lil' Rounds! lol. Scream your lungs out, girl xD It wasn't the best collaboration, but it was pretty good.
Glamarous by the girls were awesome, lol. It was neatly done, and then Boom Boom Pow just POW, exploded into awesomeness and some great hype, lol. I love that performance. And I think Fergie's vocals improved a lot, live! lol.
And here comes one of my favorite collaborations of the night - Allison and Cyndi Lauper! Really, Allison sang so much better than Cyndi herself, haha! But yeah, their harmony was perrrfecto! Ryan Seacrest was like, '..the very talented, Allison Iraheta!' XD Boo Cyndi. lol.
The other favorite I was talking about was the one by Kiss and Adam. Wow wow wow, lol. Adam can be a stand-in vocal for them XD I was grasping for air and grabbing onto my chair for that one, lol. It was very grand.
Danny and Lionel Ritchie's was pretty well-sung, except they look a little awkward with each other xD Probably more on Danny's side being starstruck or something, lol. It happens! Haha.
Other BIG, BIG stars that performed were Queen (my jaw literally dropped xD), Rod Stewart (wowow), and Santana (that one oldie I know of, I can't believe I was singing along to 'Smooth', lol. It was back when we still played cassettes in the car. Really, memories!).

I LOVED the introduction of the judges. I. Was. Laughing. My. Ass. Off. xD For me for you, for you for me, honey, sweetie, the freaking wide range of vocabulary XD, and the one with a great sense of hearing, lol. Hilarious. I think Kara didn't even notice her habit of using honey and sweetie xD

And the uber lame Awards? xD Not going to even care about the Outstanding Male and Female. Hell, the Best Attitude one rocks! lol! GO KARA! You can sing, you got the looks, you've got heart, you can write songs, YOU GO GIRL! *Loves on* lol. I was literally laughing out in my room like an idiot, lol. Was that bad? xD

Just to add in a quick one - Kris sucks, so badly especially at 'No Boundaries'. BOOOOOOOOO!

Last weekend was one of the most eventful and entertaining weekend for a long time now. lol.
Despite having reached home tired and drop-dead on a Lazy Friday, we (beloved cousins) were all pumped up for an impromptu call to watch Angels and Demons xD Not just that, but at 1am in the middle of the night! lol xD I was saying how long it has been since I last caught a Midnight Movie. It felt great, the fresh air, the cool breeze while walking back home after the movie. Love them all - can't believe there were a total of 9 of us that night. It was crazy, haha.
Although I'd say Angels and Demons is better than The DaVinci Code, the former was quite a drag somewhere in the middle part, where it was like repeatedly 2 minutes before each hour (if you have caught it, you'll know what I'm talking about). It was predictable, and I was just plainly waiting for it to be over. But otherwise, it was nail-bitingly tense, and I was at the edge of my seat most of the time. lol. I don't understand why the movie is PG and not any ratings higher. lol. All in all, I thought the movie was a tad' bit creepy. Like, I will not feel haunted even after watching a Horror film, but this kind of, Christian, godly, and religious thing, just makes me shudder and have all my hair stand even after the movie. Eeks. lol.
I slept at 6am that morning, only because we went to McDonald's after the movie and only reached home at 5am. Of course, the internet addiction had me for an hour before I was pulled into my nest by my tortured eyes xD Seriously, I can't remember the last time I slept at 6am. lol.

I slept all the way until 3pm before I was woken up (see, it was a forced wake-up, not a natural one xD), because we were running late to go for the Mass Screening of the Big BPL Clash between ManUtd and Arsenal. 5 were there, out of the 9 who went to the movie the previous night. It was at the Singapore Flyer (darn inaccessible). We were there early, thus we managed to grab some front seats at the tentage. Of courseee, I was rooting for The Gunners! I was wearing the Gunners' Jersey that evening, and it was pretty much a wrong move, because I got caught to appear on air. lol. It was really embarrassing xD But well, it was an experience afterall, and, GUNNERS FTW! People who have watched that match HAVE got to agree that the Red Devils didn't deserve to win the title that day. They didn't do as well as their guests did. BOO MANU! lol.

The day ended at about half past twelve, when it was finally time to sleep again. Awh, sleep has never been sweeter. lol.

###

From history to today. lol. Not really today, but yeah, more recent happenings.
Yesterday was the SMART Recruitment Interview. Even though I didn't have lessons yesterday, I came to realize that I actually wasn't a bit reluctant to go for the interview. Which, I feel was quite something. To do something that you actually like, and not complain about it. It feels good. What I like about SMART is the the lecturers are seriously like your friends. They joke around like you and your close friends do - they can crack and receive lame jokes equally well. lol. It doesn't even feel formal or restrained whenever we have a meeting. lol. Fantastic.
And the interview went pretty good. Of course, DTRM interviewees were living up to their standard xD DTRM HAS the reputation of being high and sociable, and my group, at least, was nothing less than that. lol. It was so much fun talking to them. And tada, it feels accomplished to have made friends with some 10 new peeps in school. lol.

One event over, and the next is tailing right behind. It's the Training and Bonding Camp. I picked that one up just for the sheer fun of organizing camps xD Although it's only 2D1N, there was quite some stuff to do already, and with the much much limited time, and me being the natural procrastinator, I got to start working on those things already xD Bless my soul! Haha.

###

I can't wait until everything is over. I guess I'll miss studying a lot, and probably nothing else. Time and time again I tell myself things will change, but then I was being let down again. lol. Probably just being too naive, but yes, we just have to realize people don't change even with years for them, let alone overnight. So, yeah, just be happy, be contented, be yourself (and yeah, don't know why but I hate to see people imitating, and not being themselves, it bugs me, I know it's probably just me anyhows), do what you want, be who you want to be, and hopefully make YOUR life a happy one, not trying to let anyone else do that for you, or worse, spoil it for you.
Met some many wonderful people, but more often that not, they are underrated and underexposed. It's how unfair life is. lol.

On a lighter note, I got myself 4 tickets to this month's 987 RSVP! Wootwoot! I was thinking about drinking once every quarterly, and the last time was in March, now in May, so it kind of fits eh, lol. It's gonna be at Velvet Underground, haven't been there yet, so it's probably going to be an eye opener :D Yeah, let's just say Clubbing isn't my thing, unless it's events like these. lol.
And I too, won a Nokia Headset back in Mid-April. Haven't been contacted yet, guess it's time to contact them, haha.

In conjunction with my strong view of the last American Idol being better than the current American Idol, I've changed the blog song to David Cook's Permanent. Listen to it; Feel it. He wrote it for his deceased brother who passed away from Cancer. There's a line that goes 'Forgive my promise that you'd never see me cry.' It just adds so much meaning to it, when you know, that his brother didn't want his Cancer to affect anyone else - be it when David Cook was in the Idol Journey or after. He had probably shed tears for him, and, that line, just has so much weight on it now.

Damn it damn it. I thought Danny Gokey would be a much better competitor and match-up with Adam in the Finals than Kris Allen. Kris has this, unique and rare, tweak, voice kinda thing when he starts a line of a sentence (when he sings of course xD). Like, it'll sound as if it's going off-pitch but he pulls it back kinda thing? I don't know how to describe it, but I thought that was good and sets him apart. Gokey, as quoted by Paula, 'has the sexiest voice' ever, which is true, because of his coarse and rough voice. lol. And then Adam, from outfit, to character, to his effing wide range of singing voice - all of which are different from the rest of the Idols. And those are too, going to help him win AI8 :P Even if he doesn't win, he WILL surpass Kris in terms of record sales, and lifespan in the Music Industry. So, I'm not a little worried about it xD
I just have to say Kris isn't consistent at all. And I thought his rendition of 'Heartless' sucks. I don't like it as much as most people do. In fact, I like his version of 'Apologize' more. So that's my opposite opinion of the judges, lol. I thought Adam did pretty good in his rendition of 'One', EXCEPT the part when the woman came in to do the backup vocals. IT. WAS. HORRIBLE. Seriously, get someone professional. It ruined that part of the song for him.

A full 4 hours break tomorrow, thanks to the Year2s enjoying themselves, playing and studying in Batam for 6 days and have our lecturers go oversee them. lol. No offense, still love you guys, haha. So that's 2 hours of tutorial, 4 hours of break, and then another hour of lecture. See, we literally have breaks more than having lessons. Seriously, they're giving us more and more opportunities to slack and lose the feel of studying xD And then next week, there's no PP tutorial on Wednesday, no RM lecture on Wednesday (that makes it no school on Wednesday, lmfao), and then again, no Psychology Tutorial on Thursday (that makes it no school on Thursday). If anyone self-declares a holiday on Friday, thennnn *inserts evil laughter here* XD A SUPER DUPER long weekend - 5 days, to be exact. Coolbeannns. lol. Year 3 FTW xD

After all those re-arrangements and re-scheduling of our tutorials because of the Year2s going overseas, I came to realize how much DTRM01 rocks. Like seriously. At least it's my cup of tea, the people. Some are full-fledged muggers, some are semi-muggers and semi-slackers, while others (mainly my clique xD) are towards the slackers category. We have a wide range of people, and I have gotten use to this bunch of people over the 2 years I've spent with them. We had tutorials with the other 2 classes.
One of the classes was quieter in comparison to the other, but when they do crack jokes, we 'catch no ball', seriously xD We have no idea why they think it's funny when we don't. lol. Different frequencies, uh uh. And then the other class is noisy as hell xD They are really high on ecstacy, I can't follow, and I don't think I can survive having adrenaline flow through me all of my time in school xD I prefer my awesomest class (:
No offense to this classes. It's not that you guys suck, it's just that I'm not used to the environment. lol.

I know, I have 2 tutorials to do on Tourism Law and Ethics, and I actually haven't started on them xD Instead, I've been playing with Photoshop. lol. *Bangs head on the wall* xD I made myself a new wallpaper for my laptop, here's it! Anddd, taaa. Gonna go do some work now, I hope /shifty.

After 'growing up' eating crappy cocky salty boring takeaways for the last few months, I realized how much I've missed my mum's cooking, now that she is cooking for the first time in quite some time, because she has a day, or three days, actually, off. Wootwoot for the smell of squids, prawns; Wootwoot for the smell of the soup she is brewing; Wootwoot for the Seafood Fried Rice that will be served on the table in a bit. Just FYI - I now have a big brown wooden bucket (one that Ron used when his wand backfired after using a fake spell 'Eat Slugs', but one that amazingly worked in the movie xD) right on my laps. I need them to contain my drool. lol.

I keep imagining and actually think that I'm right, about Earth spinning at a faster rate than before. Seriously, time didn't use to pass by so quickly. The supposed 24 hours now feels like a depleted 18 hours or something. *Shudders* It has been about a month or so since school started again for the third and final year. Admittedly, things aren't necessarily going the way I planned it to be before school started. Things, well, kiiiiinda got back a little to previous semesters. The all so evil and devouring thing called Procrastination, lol, and of course, how can we leave out laziness xD I have now skipped a tutorial each for 4 modules (how nicely planned eh, lol XD). Other than that, I'm fine *cough*. There is an obvious improvement from last semester, but I need more than that xD Projects-wise. The latest one we had was, kinda alright I guess? It wasn't toooo last minute. Contents were pretty much done, at least in our heads. We just needed to vomit them out into the slides. Sounds easy enough but still stayed up the night before, which is, something I hope to eliminate, at least for once, in my Poly Life! lol.
One thing commendable is that I've been following the tutorials, quite faithfully, well, of course except the ones that I skipped. But let's just pretend that never happened. lol.

And, I thought I should just whine and whine here xD
The Pussycat Dolls (PCD) is coming to town this June, on the 4th! I have been waiting for them to come since I last saw them in MTV Asia Awards last year in Malaysia. The fantastic thing is that I know all of their songs - that is always a plus point when it comes to concerts. I want to go so badly, although I seriously don't know who would actually go too, except CC, eh? lol. I want to go I want to go I want to go xD Jai ho, Jai ho, Jai ho, JA xD
Okay, at least I'm not as desperate as when James Morrison comes to town, if he ever does, damn him. I think he's touring in England now. lol. And voila! James Morrison - Please Don't Stop The Rain -just- came on the radio. Brilliant. I am willing to go to his concert, ALONE, if he comes down, and will be willing to spend 150bucks on him if needed. lol.
Lady Gaga might be coming down this June too. I KNOW, RIGHT? June is SUCH an awesome month *cough*. Her trip down isn't finalized yet, I think, due to her fatigue. I heard she fainted during one of her shows recently. Like woah, didn't know she's a hard worker. lol.
Mmkay, that'll be all for the latest concerts in town. Brought to you by Blogspot.com, and proudly sponsored by Google. Uhhyeah, random much xD I'm bored. lol.

I'll always suffer the Reality TV Syndrome on Mondays and Tuesdays. It's like nothing interesting for me to watch on TV, or at least, I don't really know what goes on on TV. lol. I only switch my TV on on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10pm, and Friday 2pm or 11pm xD American Idol and Survivor respectively! Woot! So, the start of the week is always full of anticipation and eagerness, the urge to want to wind the clock forward to Wednesday nights. I -love- to see the performances. Tonight, it's going to be 2 songs per person. Oh boy, that's one hell of a treat. lol. And I also heard that Simon Cowell called Buno from U2, personally, to get approval for their song, 'One', for Adam Lambert to sing! Like o.O wthwtfthatisahhhmazing! Just in case you haven't already know, they need to have approvals from the artists for the idols to sing their songs, copyright issues and stuff I guess. So, I just have to say, heck, so what if Adam doesn't win, he's gonna be successful. I will definitely buy his album when it hits the racks.
Speaking of albums, I haven't got one for myself for years now. I actually DO like solid, tangible hard copies of albums. It's just that Benjamins problem. lol. If I have stacks of those Benjamins, hell goes downloading xD

In a few months' time, it'll be time for Internship. Interviews are going to be real scary, ugh. However, it's going to be a 'must', and lets hope I can get into STB? *Prays* It's going to look real good in my Portfolio, lol, what with Australia's ITP not being possible anymore |:

[Don't mind me if there're countless typos/grammar mistakes above. I really need sleep after that stay-up for the project. But AMERICAN IDOL FTW! *Waits patiently for 10pm*]

I know, I haven't blogged since a year ago or something, lol. School started, and I got reallyy lazy to blog. Haha. But well, today's a special occasion. Because it's Labor Day! Woot! Right. Kidding xD I mean, who cares about Labor Day, other than knowing that it's a holiday for you to sit at home, spread your legs out wide and for the labor (uhm, yes I do know this Labor is the work-related Labor, tyvm xD). lol. It's Sister S' and Jianle's birthday! I know, right? All the babies borned, or are going to be borned on the first day of each month just rock so much, I don't even know why. It's in the trend /shifty. So, happy birthday, Sister S and Jianle! :D

Let me talk about the two Reality TV Series I actually follow very closely. lol. I love to talk about Reality TV Series, actually. So bear with me xD
American Idol - it was down to the Final 5. Adam, Allison, Matt, Kris, and Danny. For the performance night, I actually liked Allison, Matt and Danny's. The unusual ones, actually. lol. Adam's performance that night was, mhmm, probably the least favorite of mine of his. It wasn't bad? It just wasn't up to his standard (except the later part of the song xD). Kris' performance was just, meh, average. Although so, the Results Show was still shocking to me. lol. Adam and Kris, bottom 3? What is the world coming to? lol. Poor Matt though, he isn't bad, he is just not up to the standard of the other 4. Next week's Rock Week. I CAN'T WAIT for Adam's performance. He'd better not let us down. lol. And also Allison's!
On to the Survivor. Thought I should get this out: I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING. xD Seriously, I really thought Debbie was going off instead of herself. I think they really believed that Sierra wasn't the one who was lying, but it's just the drama part that she brings to the tribe. Sigh. But seriously, what is drama compared to a better chance in winning the Million Dollar? Dumbass. If they voted Debbie out, hell they have the numbers - JT, Stevie and Taj, and they can easily recruit Erinn. I know Sierra has NO chances in winning the Jury votes, except for Brandon's, lol, but seeing her last longer than some other bloody people just makes it good enough. I started off loving all the castaways? Now? I hate all of them. lol. Except Sierra. The others are just mehh. But mhmm, Erinn's really good to really not vote for Sierra. If only she voted for Debbie, and not trashing her vote for Stevie |: Siighhh. S'okay. Really, now? I can't wait for when the Jury takes over. I want to see Sierra asking questions to the Final 2/3. GET 'EM BACK, SIERRA -loves on- :D

So recently, maybe it's because of the stress (mmkay, I know it's not), I've been watching quite some movies xD Not that my cash flow is unlimited or anything near, but, I don't know either xD I've watched 17 Again, Knowing, and Confessions of a Shopaholic. Annnddd, sadly, I'm craving for moreeee. Omgod. lol. The International, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Revolutionary Road, Taken, and Angels and Demons. I need to start robbing the bank. Any takers? xD Fortunately, there's this new cinema at Iluma, the new mall in Bugis, called FilmGarde. And I think it costs only $6.50, at the most, 7bucks. It's freaking cheap, considering how much tickets are priced at nowadays. I am foreseeing myself to visit Iluma pretty often /shifty.

Mmkay. What happened to me this past month kinda, sucks, really. See, I injured my hip, probably a sprain, in the early part of April. And walking became a real problem for me. I struggled with it for quite some weeks. I had to push away outings with my Sentosa Colleagues (I'm soorry), The Banana, whom I haven't meet up with since forever, and I could barely walk, let alone do sports. So my life was miserable. As if it wasn't enough, I've got people making redundant and useless remarks, really. Sometimes they need to learn to be sensitive and show care and concern in a more refined and smart way, if those are even care and concern. I hate it when people doubt my capability. I mean, you don't know how it feels, or how it works until you are in my shoes. Pretending to be in my shoes, or trying to be isn't enough. So, I'd rather you back off.
I'm glad my hip's getting much better now. I can finally walk without stumbling and fumbling, and I'm so going back to sports 2 weeks from now. I'm deprived. lol.

Happy April Fool's to everyone, especially to people who believed that I was really moving to Australia. *COUGHyeahfernieCOUGH* xD GOTCHA! Hahaa. Seriously, if only :P
And a Belated Happy Birthday to the Weasley's twins, Fred and George. I mean, what better date to be the jokers' birthday? Haha. It's a no brainer xD

Andd, I'm glad I've finished the song, poem or whatever you want to call it I was talking about, about a week ago or so? lol. It took about 3-4 days on and off to finish it -nods-.

Because it's school break now, I'm bored and stuff, I've made a graphics to go with the lyrics, and also am gonna explain the inspiration and story behind the lyrics xD

Mmkay. The song title's called 'Follow', and generally, it means following your dreams? Following what your heart wants to do, even when the prospects may seem dim and hopeless. So the plot is, a person, leaving his comfort zone to pursue what he wants.
He took the train, away from his home in the first verse; To the subway station, where he stood, clearly not knowing what's next, and what to expect, while people around him seem to be speeding up/fast forwarded (like what we always see on movies/tv); To being by the window in an eatery, sipping the piping hot coffee while staring out at the passerbys in the third verse; To him, finally realizing his dreams, achieving what he wants, only because he took a step out to begin with.

And soooo, read on (:

Follow

Verse1:
The subway's speeding
Away from the place I've left behind;
Where am I heading,
Like a blind man looking to unwind;
Just see it behooved,
Sat still, my eyes are fixed and unmoved;
Unlike on the out,
The trees gliding by with no timeout.

Verse2:
The station is packed,
Of unfamiliar familiar men;
The train leaves the track,
People come and stay every moment;
Like in the movies,
I stood still, with the traffic daftly;
Where am I going,
Don't even know, I'm just following.

Chorus:
Follow in your senses, your instincts,
Even though they're in your head's precincts;
Dream big if you even want to dream,
There's no point to daydream the mainstream;
Even when the road ahead seems dark,
Trust yourself to go on and strike some sparks.

Verse3:
I push the glass door,
The store bell rang and I took a seat;
There was a downpour,
Out on the street, going way offbeat;
I downed some coffee,
While staring out on the world so deep;
You will never know,
What's in store for you behind those shadows.

Chorus:
Follow in your senses, your instincts,
Even though they're in your head's precincts;
Dream big if you even want to dream,
There's no point to daydream the mainstream;
Even when the road ahead seems dark,
Trust yourself to go on and strike some sparks.

Verse4:
I soar up the sky,
Now for the first time ever, I'm proud;
Of saying goodbye,
To the hermit life I used to allow;
I am pursuing,
The goal I have always been yearning;
It all started out,
With following, and clearing my own doubts.

Chorus:
Follow in your senses, your instincts,
Even though they're in your head's precincts;
Dream big if you even want to dream,
There's no point to daydream the mainstream;
Even when the road ahead seems dark,
Trust yourself to go on and strike some sparks.

Oh, my fucking god. I'm sorry I have to use this word - but can I have Adam Lambert as my personal entertainer? lmfao. Fucking is THE adverb (is it? xD) to use. Zomgod. I am impresssedddd, dude, way more than David Cook. lol. I'm so going to Youtube to replay his performance, about, uhm 394832497 times. lol.
Okay, and Kris' too. Boy is he getting better. MY BET: KRIS AND ADAM IN THE FINAL 2. I think I'm pretty confident to bet, uhh, a thousand bucks. Any takers? xD
And I actually thought Megan's performance was good! Yes, her voice, as always, buuttttt, yeah, I thought it was time for her to get up and surprise the audience. That isn't enough to keep her in the game, and her fans are only going to help her -this- far. Good luck Megan! xD
Lil Rounds, mhmm, interestingly, I'm starting to like her less and less each week. I thought she was a little flat this week? I couldn't, again, wait for it to be over! It was disastrous for me. Oh wells.
Allison's Don't Speak was fantastic. I've always liked that song, she just reinforced it further (: Her outfit wasn't that bad! Hahaha, oldies can't get what the trend is nowadays xD
You Found Me was well-performed by Matt, I feel! Even though it was re-arranged much (and only towards the middle is it), I like it pretty much. Shame on the judges :P
Rascal Flatt's What Hurts The Most by Danny. I love that song (plus, it's Country xD), but by Danny, not so much. I seem to be in conflict with the judges quite a bit this week huh. lol.
-skips Anoop and Scott's performances- /shifty.
Overall, the performances today aren't as good. Maybe it was because I know most of the songs, haha, and I know that they aren't rearranged too much, a tad' bit disappointing on that. lol. I can't wait for tomorrow's Results Show - David Cook (WHOOHOO!) and Lady Gaga (what what? SCREEAAMM xD) are performing. lol.

Omgod, I'm really exciitedddd! *JUMPS* Remember me saying I wanna go to Australia for internship? Well guess what?! Internship or not, I don't care anymore - we're moving therrreeee! /flailsflails! It's like freaking dream come true. AHHHHHHHH xD

Disclaimer: Long post. You may not really want to read it 'cos you'd probably not understand what/who I am referring to/talking about at most of the parts, lol.

My. Legs. Are. Breaking.
O.o Woke up today, earrlllyyy (and like I said to my dearest cousins, this is probably one of the earliest time I've got up in my last 2-3 years of life. LOL) this morning, at 630am. It's an annual thing where we go to a temple or something (pardon, I haven't always been well-informed about my religion xD) to, uhm, 'pay a respect' to our grandad. I don't really know him, since I was only 5 when, you know, things happen. But I respect him nevertheless. I know he's a great person (:
So, the day was really long, seeing how much time I am awake today, like, 13 hours now, and counting. Our arguably new-found love - badminton/football/basketball. lol. The 7 of us went down to have a go at each of those sports xD And trust me, I'm getting old. LOL. Badminton was fantastic as usual. Basketball - plain shooting - what else do I know? xD And football was the most exhausting xD Omgod. But I gotta say, this period of time has got to be the time of my life (: When we are all sooo close, no dramas, no nothing like it would have been in the Real World. This is almost like a make-believe, and I'm loving this semi-mirage. I love you guys, cousins :D You make my life fun-filled.

And I was just talking to my sister about friends, you know, and best friends, to be more specific. Just the thought of having someone close to you, someone who knows you - is something, I bet, most, if not all of us, take for granted. I believe I took it for granted in the past, and the memories make me think a lot. I miss them :(
I think these people need recognition (read them with friendship in mind and not love/romance-related), although I'm sure a fair number of them don't read this.
Let's start from my Primary School. I moved to Jurong when I was 10, and thus, transferred school too - to Jurong West Primary School. Although it was originally hard to, I think it has been the best move ever. I love my Primary School mates, like so SO much. The gang - June, Yixiang, Xianhuan, Kristin, Sarah, Engheng, and Jimmy. Friends come and go, some just stay in your harbor, just because you cherish them, -you- want to continue the friendship. All of them are special species of their kind, WE know how long those memories will stay in our head. Truth-or-dare, prefect duties, hiding under the spiral staircase, block catching after school, with a complaint that reached our dearest MissWong, Iceman, Basketballs till evening after school, Gray baby, Bai Hai Tun, and the many many groups. All the hookups, all the gossips, all the scandals. I can go on and on about it, because they are never-ending, and they'll never end, at least in my mind.
A special dedication to June. You are like, my best friend, through and through. The calls you got after school each day, asking about the homeworks (quickly followed by gossips), I'm sorry you had to go through them. The light you bring to our clique - the chatterbox nature you are, topics always start from you, and you get us talking, you get us moving. You are the backbone of the group, and you are not going anywhere even when we have dentures in our mouth at age 67. Always the organzier of outings, we'll fail so much without you. You are such a great, great friend. I'm so glad I met you, and the whole clique when our story begins from 4F.
I'm thankful we're still meeting up every now and then. Probably one of the friendships I cherish the most.

In Secondary School, I was pretty much a geek, a goody-goody boy. I have no idea how I got nominated as a Councillor early in the days. I love the people who wrote my name down, and that got me to the interview, which, I, fortunately, passed. It was the start of the development of Edsmond, in a proper way. I know I will be a failure in life if I hadn't been selected as a Student Councillor in my Seconday School life. Ms Wong (then the Student Council teacher-in-charge) is one of the most influential people I've ever met in my life. You taught me so much, and it's you I grow so much over the 4 years under your surveillance. I can't imagine my life without your guidance. I really would suck, and I mean it.
Granted, my attitude changed quite drastically after being VP. Looking back, I know I could have done it better, and I know how power can devour a person. I know it's probably too late now, to realize that, but at least, now I know what I should do when I have the power. It was kind of a chaos, although I managed to pull it off.
There're 3 persons in my Secondary School life I have to thank so much, for being there for me. I can be a weirdo at times, and being me, I choose my friends really carefully.
The first person is, HongXiang. I remember very clearly - you contribute partially to who I am today, and I am grateful. Remember, in the bus (how we always need to have a plastic bag just in case your bus-sickness works up), I never fail to sit beside you, and I was, like aforementioned, a geek. He taught me to 'need to think fast and be on the feet', he taught me to be cocky, and to be truthful, that isn't a bad thing at all. It's the right amount of cockiness that makes a person more interesting. And it's him I know how to crack jokes now, and talk cock to almost anything whenever I'm with someone I'm comfortable with. You pass me the skills, 'teacher' :D
Being in the Student Council together - going to camps together, we stuck to each other when we were doing Council stuff, and it was great times, because I really had some hell of a time whenever I'm with you. I don't care how you feel when we're hanging out together, because you had no choice. lol. Not being in the same class for 4 years wasn't a barrier at all. And it's unbelievable, come to think of it. It's just sad, we don't really talk anymore now. Life has to go on, and we have to move on. Just wish that your studies is all good and life is as good (:

And the next person, or two, you decide, but I'm sticking to one. Andrea and Eevin. Without one, the other doesn't function, haha. I can't remember how we met, but probably through Council with Andrea, and Eevin through Andrea. The three of us were only in the same class in the later part of the years, but trust me, it's enough for me to like them already, lol. Gossips - that's almost a must. Food, another must, actually. lol. How we bought food and stuff. And I remember so clearly that during one of the breaks, Eevin brought this bar of Cadbury Chocolate (the triple thingy I think? xD), it was from NZ (was it?), and can't be found in Singapore. The three of us just sat by our seats and finished the whole freaking bar before the break was even over. It's the long rectangular block of chocolate (about 4 bucks per block in Singapore) - and trust me, finishing it in 20 mins is craaazyyy. lol. I enjoyed it so much. HAHA xD Youth Day Performance (omgod I miss it so much). Graduation Day Performance - how you guys were supporting me so much even though I know I suck, lol. It was embarrassing, but I know you guys were behind me, and I feel so 'aww' just to think back. I miss hanging out with you guys. Probably the only sane (or insane? xD) people around then, oops. lol.
(Can't forget to add Jo to the picture, seeing how she's our one and only uber loyal supporter of our occasional class mini gig. Awww xDD)
I still love you two bananas (:

No offence to any other friends, you guys are still awesome. It just takes time, and I believe I'm a very different person, who, then in turn, need some very different friends to make it as my closest friends of all times. And I know it isn't easy, which kinda suck. It feels so good to think back at the memories, and being with them everyday. My life rocks because of you guys. And I know it'd be hard to come by, with my nature.
As we grow older, life gets tougher. It's no more daily fun times. Life gets serious, because you have to start planning for your life. Sad, but true. We developed characteristics that go against you. I am a perfectionist, although not entirely. I admit that I like to win (yup, Chekjie, and we rock xD), but at the same time, I've learnt how to control the degree of 'liking to win', and the adverse effects of them. Liking to win also usually comes with big and gigantic ego. But I've successfully suppressed it, so much so that I don't really care about ego fluffing now. And I'm glad of that, because people with huge ego disgusts me, to put it bluntly. Remember I read a lot into people. But I'm not a freak, LOL.
I'm also one who is super impatient. I remembered when I was young, I was actually pretty patient. I have no idea what made me change 360degrees on this. Seriously, I flare up very easily - when someone is doing something stupid and without common sense, it angers me. I've been trying to deal with that, but I kind of fail quite a bit. I mean, I don't mean to be bad or mean, but sometimes working with people of the same level as you makes it so much easier. But we have to learn to work with anyone and everyone - and I'm not complaining about anyone (I say this with all my heart), I'm just self-evaluating.

I just told my sister that I really feel like being a geek next semester. I've wanted to be in previous semesters, but wasn't successful at all. I don't care what people say about me being a geek for the past semesters (because they probably don't know me well enough - I am anything but a geek, trust me), it's just the distractions (most of the times, internet) that disrupts my goal. I really hope to work for my next semester, I don't care for life anymore.

This has, by far been the most emotional post for me. -Sigh of relief- It's good to say what I have in mind.
If you've read the whole post, well, you've wasted quite some minutes of your life. lol. People probably don't know what I'm blabbering about but I just want to put it out.
If you've skipped to here, then, well done, lol. Good night (:

So I'm watching American Idol as we speak here. My oh my, Adam's performance just ended. My breath was taken away, once again! I think I can speak for everyone out there, can't I? He can easily be the winner of the season, man. Like Paula said, he -is- in his own league. I can so hear him sing over and over again, boyyyy.
Megan, I agree, didn't really sing well today, although I still love her jazzy voice. Uber fortunately, Michael didn't sing as well too. That makes me relief a little - 'cos not only is Megan up on the chopping block, Michael is too, and hopefully will be the one to take the stab for Megan, lol. I don't wanna see Megan gooo D:
Gotta say I, -mimicks Simon-, couldn't wait for Lil's performance to be over - she was screaming throughout the song xD But yesss, as we all know, she is still a good singer. lol.
Danny is a little off tonight, although still good. I just love how he delivers, each and every week, so smoothly. It's great to hear. Whoot!
Last mention - Kris. Like Smokie, I admire people who play guitar - AND sing so well. Seriously. I hate those people, 'cos I'm all jealous. lol xD
Omgod. Wait, I thought I wouldn't have to mention Allison - but hey! I like her voice, actually! xD The way she squeezed her vocals to make it 'awwww!' xD

Mmkay, enough for Idol craze, lol. I watched Dragonball, quite a few days ago - just forgot to put it up. lol. Mhmm, my thoughts on it? I don't necessarily like it as much. The story went really fast? Andd, the detection of the dragon balls are just too much of a touch-and-go, which, makes the movie look like it's not really well-written. Buttt, the action, the fight scenes, they're fantastic :D

So I've pretty much have myself semi-covered up in cobwebs, lol, I was looking through my laptop, and found some unfinished self-written songs. Click on one, intended to continue with it, but nawh, decided to in the end, trash it, 'cos I can't relate to it anymore, and it was kinda hard to write it xD Started a new one, a little less than halfway done now. Will probably be done in a few days' time, by which I'll post it up here -nods- Writing songs is just a great excuse to just sit and stare into the blanks, lol. And it's fun to, although a little frustrating when you can't get the words out xD But it can be done, and you guys should try, and have fun :D

I really should be sleeping now, since I wanna wake up at like 930am and watch Ellen tomorrow, 'cos I missed the 5pm one today xD It isn't an important thing, but I hope I can wake up, for pure entertainment. One can never ask for less laughter, lol.

Really, how does one -really- not be an asshole? When what you give isn't what you get. When karma doesn't seem to be working your way. You just get sick and tired of playing a good guy, when the good doesn't beget the good. Till now, I still can't see through it, how one can continue to be on a chill pill even though the odds are against him. It's sometimes, or, most of the times, ridiculous how one is being taken for granted. It's easy to get pass it when you're not being put in the position, as always. And reading too much into people isn't helping at all. In fact, I can almost safely say that that's the cause of it. But I don't detest this - I actually still like it as much as I've did before. I can't really care, as much as I've wanted, 'cos I want to be who I am.

Since Idol last week, I've gotten really back into Country Music. Y'know, I've always loved Country, yes, but not, omgod-ly crazy over it. Now I'm thinking I'm loving it more and more. I so didn't download Carrie Underwood's both albums. No I didn't /shifty.
So, yes, all her songs suddenly appeared in my iTunes last week. Weird huh. I didn't really get down to the bottom of that, but yeah, who cares right. So I listened to them all, and undoubtedly, got stucked to the song 'I Told You So' - the one she performed last week in the Idol's Results Show, if you caught that. Today alone, I've put it on loop for 20 times, so far? And to make you believe that this song is really one-of-a-kind and worth listening to, I've put it up on my blog. Now plug in your earpiece, and here's the lyrics to it. Notice how she writes the song with quotes in it, I love it.

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?

Would you say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you have to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

Ahh. Nice isn't it? I told you so.

Alright. Since JA has always stole my blog content -cough-, it's time to take revenge and steal some back. lmfao.
From THIS site, you can get to know more about yourself just by keying in your full name and birthdate. Do the color one first, then when you know which animal you are from the color one, click on the animal on the original page. Get to it and you'll know what I'm talking about. lol.

You are Orange Monkey type, who is very friendly.
People find you easy to get on with.
On the other hand, you are not good at starting a relationship, and do not have a way with words.
You tend to keep a distance in personal relationships.
--> It has been pretty true till here, especially the one with a loss of words? I do that all too often, and it sucks, just fyi. lol.

Although you tend to be rather nervous, you can overcome that weakness with your sophisticated intelligence and sense of humor.
--> I really don't think I have the intelligence, lol, and I can barely scrap cracking a joke xD

You are not a difficult person, and will not stand against on opposed ideas.
--> Half true. I -am- not a difficult person if you get to know me. But I'll, much more often than not, stand on my ground firmly. lol.

You have a good negotiation tactics by leaving room for the other side to compromise.
--> Not really. I can be harsh and hard xD

However you can be obstinate in that you will not suck up, or bend your theory.
--> So true. Sucking up is a no-no. And I despise, yes, despise people who suck up to get to where they are.

Putting into action is most important to you.
You may luck consideration, and because you believe that result will follow, you tend to plan things as you go.
--> Both are true -nods-.

You are quick learner and a skilful person, so even if you face difficult situation, you can overcome that without much difficulty.
--> Mhmmmmm. I believe I can learn things pretty quickly, and the other half of the statementttt -ponders-.

You are very responsible person, and you tend to work for others even by neglecting yourself.
This naturally attracts other people to you.
You also tackle and challenge things with confidence.
You have a good head for business, so you will be successful in anything you decide to do.
--> Well you can just read the rest. lol.

1. Monkeys can't see they forest for the trees.
Meaning, I move on without planning ahead? -kicks- lol.

2. Flatter Monkeys and they may do great things.
Hahaa. Make me sound so evil and egoistic.

3. Monkeys are clever with their hands and good imitators.
I don't know what I'm good at with my hands xD

4. Monkeys are restless animals of action.
Whhhuttt? Come again?

5. Monkeys move easily when given instruction.
Pretty true?

6. Monkeys are a cheerful life of the party.
Not really. Okay, this is starting to fail. lol.

7. Monkeys try hard if small change is involved.
Seriously, your English fails so badly.

8. Monkeys are a bit goofy.
I guess? :P

9. Monkeys are trusting and easily deceived.
DD: Don't you guys dare cheat my feeling. LOL.

10. Monkeys are curious and want to improve themselves.
Curious, yes, but I am not overly. I wouldn't care if you tell me you wanna tell me something and then turn around and say 'ahhh, forget it'. LOL. But yes, I do want to improve myself, although laziness is getting ahead. lol.

Well I'd say, the previous quiz was much more accurate than this. And seriously, the 'animal' part of the quiz fails hard. So, don't take it /shifty. xD The first part was still alright. lol.

Siighh. Now life's gonna get boring, with my sister starting work, like, seriously, career, and not, part-time job, and everyone's back to school, OR at Internship. Bored bored boredddd D:
I want school to start, to keep my occupied.

Mhmm. Just checked the TV Guide. Showing at 10pm is Desperate Housewives. Not a bad show to catch for a desperately-searching-for-things-to-do guy. lol. Alrighty for now. Baiii.

Frankly speaking, the last time I watch a full American Idol episode was, uhm, years ago? lol. Watched three-quarter of it yesterday night, and was suddenly hooked to it. I've always wanted to try and catch it, but each and every time I see its commercial and made a mental note to watch it on, whichever day it is gonna be screened, I forgot it ten minutes after. lol. Fails, I know!
So, yes, yesterday's performance was, wowww. I reallly like Adam Lambert (like seriously, who doesn't? His gothic, theatrical performance yesterday night was jaw-dropping), Danny Gokey (yes, the guy with the voice that doesn't match his appearance xD Really, his voice is so smooth and professional already), Kris Allen (totally love his voice :)), Matt Giraud (I was sucked into his performance, with him behind the piano, being REALLY comfortable, Matt FTW!), and Megan Joy (the one with the tattoo on her arms? lol. Her Country song was ZOMGODly ooo-oo. I don't know how to put that into words, but, yeah, unique way of her Country song that sets her apart from the rest). That's gonna be my Top 5, dooggggg. /randy. XD

Andd, I love Carrie Underwood! ^^ I actually like Country music, even though, like tons of people hate it. I don't believe them, but yea' /shifty. I'm a music junkie, actually. I enjoy almost all genres, except screamo, lol.

I'm sorry someone has to go, but based on yesterday's performance, really, Alexis -is- the one to go. Oh well, you gotta perform to your best every week to save your ass huh. I can so see Anoop being sent home anytime soon. xD

People have been talking about American Idol, American Idol. Now that I'm starting to watch it again, I feel that people who don't watch it are losers /shifty. XDD Jkkk. lol. But yes, you guys should watch. No pitch problems, just, awesome and professional singings (:

2009-03-18T20:38:00.004+08:00

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day, everyone! I wanted to put up a post yesterday, but was ffaarrr too lazy. lol. Even though we don't celebrate it at all, but, yeah, I love Irish, I love the greens, and the shamrocks, yea' baby xD

Last Sunday and Monday was funfunfun. Did I mention fun? Yeah. lol.
Sunday was once again, cousins gathering! lol. Mahjong-ed, played Texas Hold 'Em Poker because one of my cousins bought like, the real set of chips and cards? So, it was like 'SHOWHAND! -and pushes the whole stack of chips to the center-', lol. Had loads of laugh, it's not like it's any news already. And when the songs started playing on my laptop, it was 'Modern Clubbing Songs' to kick start the segment, songs like Poker Face, Just Dance, Right Round etc. Then it went on a lower key and emo poppy musics replaced the air, with songs like White Horse, Save You, Broken Strings etc. Here comes the classiiiccc. Seasons in the Sun. Familiar? No? Mhmm. Bye Bye Bye? More Than Words? Never Had A Dream Come True? Like A Rose? LOL. Yes! It's back to the ol' days, dddogg :D It was too much fun xD Every introductory seconds of each song was 'OH MY GAWWDD'. Westlife. Blue. Backstreet Boys. A1. Atomic Kitten. S Club 7. Seriously, nostalgia much? XD
And then eevvveryone went crazy over Vitas' almost out of human's hearing range pitch xD If you haven't already know, go youtube 'Vitas Opera #2' and 'Vitas Posveshenie (Tribute)'. In the event that your jaws don't drop (not literally, obviously xD), you can come back for compensation. Sorry, but I'm way too lazy to put the video up here. You know Edsmond is lazy and you're not, so, go watch xD

So that was the end of Sunday (not forgetting repeating lines from White Chicks. Yes it never ends. It has been 5 years since White Chicks was screened, and we're still repeating its lines. We were discussing if it'll last another 10 years. I bet. lol.

Monday was gym in the morning, Swensen's for lunch because we ARE Singaporeans - Swensen's Lunch Treat 1-for-1. Seriously, there was a long line at Swensen's, and no where else beside it. lmfao. It has been quite some time since I've been there, so I had my typical order - Salmon and Mushroom Baked Rice. Pity it doesn't taste as finger-licking as before. Andd. Singaporean x2, lol, we waited a little till 2.30pm so that there's this Students' Happy Hour where $9.80 = 2 Sundaes. YAY ICE CREAM xD Again, ordered the same old thing, Frosted Chocolate Malt. AGAIN, it doesn't taste as yummy as before. Despite so, it was still worth it, a main course + half a sundae (we shared, two person to one, lol) = 10 bucks nett. So, I'm seeing into the crystal ball that I'll be heading back there soon. lol.
We headed to JurongEast Swimming Complex after lunch. Even though it was drizzling, we decided to toy with luck. Alas, lady luck was with us. It stopped drizzling/raining. One thing bad about it was there was no sun shine, damn it. Fails for no tanning. lol.
Not a need to wait for the next day for the aches to start, it started right that night, lol. Till today, my arms huuurtt D:

And just this morning, like two, two plus am, it was deathtime o.O Mmkay, not really, but close. lol. Results for the semester was released. Let's just say, I calculated it before, it was 3.135, I did better than that, although not too much. I can't say that I am disappointed with my grades? 'Cos I should have known, seeing the effort I put in this semester, plus I've already prepared for the worse, of 3.135. Well I only have myself to be disappointed at. -shakes head- I really didn't prepare for the Final Exams. I can't believe myself, actually, lol. It was like the worst exams I've taken last semester /yup. Siighh. Move oonnn, and hopefully the last semester remaining will be of its best (: Edsmond, be nerd once again. YES.
At least my Cumulative is still pretty good, I'm so thankful for the effort I've put in for the first 3 semesters. It totally helped a ton :D

On a lighter note - I've finally gotten Jai Ho on my iTunes now. ZOMGOD /flails xD So, a new song should be up in no time. I have some in mind already -insertsevillaughterhere- xD

So I just satisfied my weekly needs /shifty. Psh, it's Survivor? And not anything else xD
And hell do I realize, this season is really sticking to me! I actually figured that I, was actually rooting for Timbira? But I love both tribes! It's sad to see anyone go now :| Like this week, zomgod. I think it's dumb for them to eliminate, uhm, spoiler ahead - Spencer? I mean, I'm -sure- he is physically stronger than Taj? It's just that some challenges just aren't for people. I don't want Spencer, NOR Taj to go home :| I want Taj to stay because I -want- to see the Alliance of 4, the biggest upset of Survivor History, to go through! I think it'd be awesome, but there're already some problems. Brendan shouldn't have chosen Stephen to go to Exile Island, 'cos damn Tyson saw through it! Awrgh. And Sierra isn't helping. Hmph. BAHH. I can't wait for next week. Juustt freaking hope Timbira doesn't lose the next Immunity Challenge, or Brandon will be in danger. But I'd think Erinn may be on Brandon and Sierra's side, since Coach disgusts her so. LOL.
Mmkays. If you do not watch Survivor, and you just read that above paragraph, I've officially wasted 2 minutes of your life. lol xD

Kay. I just watched 2 fantastic movies this past 2-3 days. Hotel for Dogs and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.
Hotel for Dogs was really good through and through, until the end, where Bernie stood in front of everyone and made a speech. It's so, fake, and eeks. It makes my hair stand, and wanna close the window -.- lol. Otherwwiisee, the rest of it was great. Not a bad movie to catch it with whoever. lol.
Street Fighter was better, I'd think. Action-packed to the brim. lol. My eyes were fixed to the screen the whole time. lol. ANNDD, Chen Zhi Cai (sp?) is like the dad of Chun Li. Oh, I'm so proud xD I just like the movie, pretty much, even though, yeah, it's not a Chinese Chun Li, it was fun listening to the English Chun Li speaking Chinese. Hahah. One thing I'm disappointed though, there's no Ryu, no Dhalsim (sp? xD) etc. And they didn't say 'ahhhdugen!' even though they did use it xD

Of all the quizes, I like this one the best, the one where questions are asked and you're supposed to approach your iTunes for an answer, not literally, but yeah xD I'll do this next time when I'm bored, AND when iTunes finally give good answers and not un-related ones /glares.

Weekends' finally here, when everyone's not working/studying! It's time for some fun! Haha.

It's no longer February, so no more mushymushyloveydovey Secret Valentine xD (Although love still lingers around. lol. Since when have I became a Love Guru or something. lol. I've been discussing about relationships and stuff with 3 different people just today /shifty.) I've changed the song to a whole new different genre song, one that I just got really addicted to, goddamnit. lol. It's Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire's Soundtrack), the Pussycat Dolls' rendition. I can't seem to find it anywhere. If anyone has it and will send it to me, I'll love you forever /shifty. Now I can only be set to listening it on Youtube, or better now, here on my blog. lol.

Kay. I'm bored out of my wits this few days. lol. I wish I have school, but I know once school starts, I'll be complaining how effing hectic school life is xD It's results day in 8 days. Once again, a gent-, no, a harsh reminder not to ask for my GPA when you see me online. Or maybe, I'll just hide under the bed the whole day /shifty. lol. I'll try and resist the temptation to tell anyone as long as possible. I think that'd be fun. lol.

Jason Mraz's concert was a few days back. And damn Singaporeans for being soooo kiasu, buying out all the tickets within 2 days or so after it was on officially out on sale. I wanted to go sooo baddly D: Awrgh. And today's RJA! Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Pity I'm not a huge fan of them, otherwise it'd be such a steal, since the ticket was only 55 bucks. Gosh, good for all huge RJA fans. Sister S, mhmm, -looks at watch-, is probably on her way back now. lol. Concerts are always fun. Well, except MCR's, which was a disaster. lol.
Annddd, when I grow up, I'll stalk Lifehouse's concert dates, and travel to where they will be having their concert and treat it like a vacation /shifty. lol. I wanna see Lifehouse, zomgod. The vocals is to die for, and their songs are just too nice to reject. lol.
Last but not the least, concerts-wise, guess who's coming to town in the early April? Baby David Archuleta! Hahaha. I find it funny that he's actually traveling and doing concerts, this young talented boy. As much as I loovee his songs, I can't bring myself to actually watching him in concerts xD His actions on stage are too awkward. So much that I'll feel super awkward myself too. LOL.

Just for easy reference for myself, ssh.

What a good time, is a phrase most suitable to describe NTU's incidents this past week. In a span of only 1 week, or less than that, there has been 2 suicide cases in NTU, a period of time so close to the Open House for Universities. Everyone who thinks that it'll not affect people's choice for a University -is- in denial. lol. But wow, I can't believe it when I heard the news. Icky creepy.

Sooo. I went to Genting Highland for the second time (yeah, go on and laugh xD), had loads of fun with my cousin and sister. The journey up there was great. Singing to those radio songs like White Chicks does, lol. Seriously? I love the weather up there. lol. I was all heated up, up till now - the weather just seems too hot to handle. lol. I need airconditioner. xD Anyywayys. Let the pictures help do the talking a little.

This house over here, has a nice architectural design. It's simple yet beautiful. Spotted on the way up to Genting.

SAY HELLO TO GENTING HIGHLAND!

Day 1 was Indoor Fun, 'cos it was after lunch and we thought it'd suck to get an Outdoor ticket that late, with the Outdoor Theme Park closing at 7pm. PLUS, it started raining in the late afternoon, so, phew. xD

Euro Express. Probably the best Indoor ride. lol xD Seriously, Indoor ticket's a waste. Haha.

Ferris Wheel.

A hot shot from the Boat Ride.

Here's the Boat Ride, with my cousin.

And a, mhmm, yeah, planned shot, actually xD

We took the Flying Coaster, which was outdoors, but it's not included in the Outdoor Theme Park Ticket. It was CRAZYY, but hell lotsa fun. It's the one where you lie down horizontally, and they'll bring you on a ride, turning you 360degrees. Hahah. Much fun, although at first you'd be scared till you shit on your pants xD
And Day 1 continues with shopping - more than expected. lol. Each of us spent about RM100 bucks on shopping. lol. Bought for myself a top and a shorts. Love 'em :D

We saw this freaking nice Mahjong tiles - RM300plus bucks. Really, it's hawt. lol.

Day 2 was kicked off fantabulously with the breakfast we had at a cafe.

Turkey and Cheese Quiche. Yummyy.
And I ordered a Chocolate Danish (whoosh!) and shared an Iced Irish Latte with my sister. All for like 7 bucks SingDollar? Steal. lol.

First ride taken at the Outdoor Theme Park - Spinner! I love it so much. lol. We took it as our first ride, and our last ride of the day xD

Second ride - I forgot the name of the ride, but it's something like the Luge but we can't control it. It basically slides down a slide with turns here and there. lol. It was fun, but too short.

Antique Car xD It's seriously lame, but we make-do with it and enjoyed it nevertheless.

Flying Dragon (roller coaster, DAMN Cyclone for not working). It was great fun, something like the Euro Express indoor? We'd continue taking the ride over and over again (because basically there're like no lines to every rides, lol), but the freaking service suuuckked. Because there were still empty seats here and there, but we have like 3 people or more each group in the line, so the service provider was like 'I can wait'. Seriously, the urge to give her one tight slap was THIS HUGE. lol. And the group next to us was like 'if she's in Singapore, she'd be gone'. xD So true. We didn't even bother lodging a complaint - let's face it, they don't care about quality service. That's when the 3 of us started to miss Singapore's service, like so much.

Random shots at the waterfall. Typical tourists xD

Super chio theme park skyline XD

The mist at night.

And us, flying without wings. xD

And we took the Viking Ride (and rushed to the back seat xD), and Fun Kart (ZOMGOD MY FAVORITE xD). We'd take more if not for the rain in the middle of the noon.

Table setting at one of the Chinese Restaurant. Damnnn classy.

Camwhoring. lol.

Annddd.

Home Sweet Home.

It was an overall, very fruitful trip.
The outdoor theme park was fun :D
The food we had was, ahhhmazing. lol. We had the Shanghai Dim Sum thingy at First World, and we ordered like nobody's business, 'cos we're rich like that /shifty. xD And we had a dinner buffet at the Kampong thingiemabob place just above the Genting Hotel (where we stay), but the food kinda sucked, lol.
And we caught a movie there - Watchmen, which, all of us hated so much. lol. Spoiler ahead, stop if you don't wanna know: Because the good characters all dieeee! Okay, not all, but most of the good people! It's like evil preceeds good. Excuse me, but it sucked. lol.
The weather. Whoohoo.
The only bad thing is that I got a little altitude change sickness when we are coming down. It suuuckked D: It was the first time I experienced it, and I thought I was going deaf. Mhmm, not really, but yea' xD
Oh, did I mention we were there with 4 adults? xD But let's not get me started on how much time they spent in the casinos in the 3 days. lol.

Mmkays. That's all for Genting.
I saw this tag in Facebook, and I tried it out. As mentioned in the Facebook, seriously, it's freaking accurate. xD

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

--> Kayy. I'm not gonna comment on that :P

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

--> This is too true. I tend to read people a lot? It's freaky, but yeah. lol.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

--> This is too true. Like I've told, I don't know who, but I don't believe in loving you back just because you love me, neither do I believe in 'love can be cultured'. lol.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

--> I am straightforward in many ways, yes, but being attractive? I don't know xD

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

--> This is too true too xD I really think education is very important. Haha. Although it's not like I love studying, seriously.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

--> Freaky true. Chef, Bartender, Lawyer, Hotelier, I don't know, what more? I need to focus and decide on one :/

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

--> I -am- afraid of failure - I tend to shun it whenever possible.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

--> People who know me knows this is so true. lol.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

--> Too true too, oh gosh. lol.

If you know me, and you know those are so true for me, you should try it here:

Hokayys. That's all. Long post, I know, a round of applause for you if you've read till here. lol.

What a tough fight it was this past few months, don't you agree? I mean, 8 projects, all squeezed together like a can of sardine. It's easier said than done, the lecturers. I really appreciate those who feel us, not those who says 'I understand.. But everyone is going through the same thing.' - this people make me want to stab them in their heart. lol. Be a man and take a stand, don't sit on the wall like every Singaporeans do. lol.
But alas, it's ovverr. -dances- You didn't see that.

This semester is one big big mess that not even the 50% exams can help to clear. lol. Get this - none of my project marks got an 'A', well, not really - just one. 80 marks that is. A borderline 'A', and that, is really helpful to my grades. lol.
Over the study week and exams weeks, we took 2 tests and 2 exams.

UCCD and SQM are the 2 tests taken. And SQM was, I don't know, too easy to memorize to be true. lol. It's like pewpewpew. All in xD And the paper was easier than expected, and basically most of the things I studied came out, so it was pretty satisfying in a sense?
UCCD was the inverse proportion. lol. SQM was 'shhiitt, how am I going to fair'. And UCCD was 'I'm sure I can do it'. But it turned out, just like any other times, the other way! Ridiculous. lol. UCCD was harrrddd and abstract. I was scratching my head and rubbing my chin hard to try to find the answers? But no inspirations came xD On top of that, I didn't even have time to finish the paper - probably, possibly, at least 10 over marks undone. Yay the smart Edsmond. Whoohoo xD
I'd be happy if I can get a B+ for SQM and scrap a B for UCCD - but it's doubtful by the look of it.

GBE and GOM are the 2 heavyweights - 50% exams (hate it /shifty). Mr G. Foo was great as a GBE lecturer. Not only because of *coughcough*, but also he is really lenient and he cared for our studies, which is always good. Although the paper wasn't too easy, it wasn't too much a challenge either, so, no comments. lol. But GOM, helllll man. Seriously. Which freakkkinn' lecturer would test you on the '10 profiles of Adolescent Gambler' thingy? I meannn, is it pure laziness or what? Lecturers usually test on like 4-5 profiles, and then go on to ask other related stuff. But no, the paper is as always, real short questions with questions that want answers like that one. It just doesn't make sense :/ Oh wells. Too bad, 2 more modules to go next semester with this kinda crap paper.
PS. This kinda paper isn't really useful anyways. Seriously.

So I have this self-made GPA Count System. I've calculated and this is my estimated grades and GPA for this freaking bloody semester. lol.
GOM: C
HSS: B+
TTP: B+
SQM: B+
GBE: B
UCCD: B
OE (Online Entrepreneurship): B
LR (Love Relations): A
GPA: 3.135
WHOOHOO. No 'A's. Oh wait. There is! A Credit Unit '2' module!
[/sarcasm]

Hokays. That's officially the end of school discussion until the release of the results. And if you're reading this, please do remember -not- to ask for my GPA. Mucho appreciated. lol.

Sooo, after the last paper - went to watch Slumdog Millionaire. It was a highly, highly rated show by people everywhere. And indeed, it didn't disappoint. The stories were cleverly linked together, and I love the unusual plot, different from what we get from Hollywood every week. lol. A heavy belt Slumdog Millionaire has this Oscars, taking home 8 titles, of which some include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing. Out of 10 nominations, taking home 8 of them is like O.o As compared to the 13 nominations The Curious Case of Benjamin Button got, but only actually won 2 - Best Makeup (duh xD) and Best Visual Effects, almost like a consolation prize for not winning more.
And who else, but the late Heath Ledger, won the Best Supporting Actor, in the Dark Knight, and Sean Penn, who won the Best Actor award, in Milk - which, I am watching now. So far, the storyline has been pretty interesting. The movie also won the Most Original Screenplay, so, I guess it isn't a movie to disappoint.
I'll also be catching The Reader in a bit, where the lead actress, Kate Winslet, won the Best Actress in the Oscars. The movies of the Best Actor and the Best Actress (Milk and The Reader respectively) are rated R21. So, be sure that you're 21 before watching alrighty, kido /shifty. Ssh.

Moving away from the Oscars, some of the other 'must watch's are 2 Jennifer Aniston's movies - He's Just Not That Into You (I heard it's really a great movie, something worth thinking about), and Marley and Me. This are the 2 movies that are waitlisted on my list now. lol xD

Phew. Quite some bit up there. I'm not feeling all too comfortable today. Bad nose, it's leaking again, and the sneezing has caused some minor headaches. I hate it, it happens all the time. Tomorrow's class chalet, hopefully I'll feel better to enjoy it. lol.

Hokays. You have been reading the right blog. You didn't stumble across the wrong blog, neither did you type in the wrong URL. lol. It was time to change to a new blogskin, and, I don't know what else to put other than Harry Potter themed. lol. Twilight is freaking boring me. Seriously, I agree with Stephen King on his slamming on Stephanie Meyer's writing skills? Like - read it, it doesn't even sound like a professional. All thanks to her storyline for the success. It got really dull and draggy in the first book? But I managed to toll myself through the chapters. New Moon's starting isn't bad, but I've heard bits and pieces of the story, and it really makes no sense. So, psh, I'm probably gonna re-read Harry Potter after reading 30 over pages of OrderofthePhoenix at Timo's house the other day. It's coming back, it's coming back! I can feel the magiccc! Sorcerer's Stone, here I come xD

Kays, back to watching Milk. Ta.

Generally, nothing to blog about? lol.
So, it's FINALLY school vacation. And I'm just starting to feel the boredom as we speak here. lol. Seee, freakin' 'grass is always greener on the other side', but it's so true. lol. What's worse is that exams is not even over xD I'm just procrastinating (tell you something new, I know xD), only. And that's enough for me to start getting bored. Eeww? lol.

But seriously. I think our clique is officially the slackest clique everrr? Celebrating after every tests/exams. lmao. People celebrate it after everything ends. No. We don't believe in that. Haha.

So to Giraffe Restaurant and Bar last Friday, to celebrate Jian An's belated birthday.

I've been wanting to visit Giraffe since, uhh, when I was young? lol. Not really, but yeah, I'd always make mental note to myself to visit there whenever I was across the road at PS. lol. And, well, the ambience's not bad, so was the food. The only factor that may cause me to not pay a revisit is its small menu. Seriously, there're only like, 7 - 10 main courses? And nothing much. I'd probably only go there during Happy Hours for the drinks. LOL. But, uhh, yeah. I can't drink. Nono. I'm still doing good with that New Year Resolution there. XD

And just yesterday, after the GBE Exams (not to mention how disgusting GBE is now that I have nothing to do with it already. lol), we went to Pitstop! Gamed for 3 hours. Lotsa fun, as always, at Pitstop. lol. And got home - finalllyy a time to blast the radio, slouched on the chair and use the net without worrying a single shit. lol. But soon enough, it's time to worry about the last exam paper - GOM.

Annddd - I quited the job at BirdPark. It was good money, but as always (why must all this attractions' management suck?!), yes, the mangement wasn't too well. It may be the language that they use, the lack of technique in phrasing their sentences? It came across as rude and ignorant. Oh wells. S'okay, I'm sure there're other great jobs out there too. -Startssourcing-

As much as I still like the song by David Archuleta, I guess it's time to have some changes! Haha. A new song up! Secret Valentine by We The Kings, the same guys who brought us Check Yes Juliet (Run Baby Run) /yup. A much suited song for the month of February. lol. Enjoy the song, I fell in love with it by just hearing to the sneak peek of it on the radio. lol.
Till then!

Last day of school tomorrow. I really can't wait, to get away from the hell, the projects, the disgust, the crap, and all the effing things. It's time to break free, or at least for the next 2.5 months, including study week and exams weeks. At least I can stay home, be happy, and work for money (:
And then it's 6 more months of studying, another 5 months of ITP-ing, and VOILA. Whoots! Thought of it excites me so.
/sarcasmtone.

I've always liked to be independent. I've always liked to be who I am. I have a principle in life. People usually go 'an eye for an eye'. But no, it's 'two eyes for an eye' for my rendition of it. I love revenge, because I am a Taoist/Buddhist, and we all believe in Karma, don't we? Call me a sicko, call me a sadist, for all I care. I'm as bastard, as bitchy as can be. And I can be freaking nice to you if you are to me. Blow it and well, too bad?
Too sick of repeating those routines. Time and time again I tell myself it's not gonna be the same. Little did I know that those time and time agains are lies that I've told to myself time and time again. Hah. How stupid, how stupid -shakeshead-.
Oh gosh. To think time flies, and I've been a dog, a pet, an idiot, a retard, a blind, for so long. I've got my goals set, my mind cleared and set straight, I ain't gonna be those anymore - no more of being used, no more of acting like a, whatever.

Really, whatever. Zzz.

I need to go back to making notes. Because I've spent too much time on one. Pssh. It's not easy making notes for the whole semester's coverage. It's so not fun at all. THREE whole semester's. Ohhkillmeee. lol. Exams' in 4 days. Ickyicky.

Good god, it is the eve of Chinese New Year. Tell me it is, tell me it is, because seriously, I haven't got a tinge of feel that it is. And it's scary, don't you think? I mean, year after year, you crave for all the festive food, the pineapple tarts (my favorite!), the chocolates, the sweets; the red packets you have been longing since the end of last year's Lunar New Year; the time of the year where you gather with your extended family, around the big round marble table, shouting and screaming for an ace and a picture card. All that yearning and longing - no longer present this year o.O Believe it or not. In fact, there's this dreadful feeling from an unknown source, right as I am typing this now. Weird. Not forgetting, yea', I haven't got my New Year clothes yet. Yay me? lol. It's either I get one later (just 8 hours before the clock strikes 12), or well, tshirt this year instead of shirt. lol. We shall see.

One thing good about CNY is that, you are being forced to clean your room up. It's either that or you suffer some ear damages from all the non-stop naggings xD So, yay for cleaner room, yay for study table no longer being choked with, I don't know, anything and everything, and yay for new bedsheets! lol.

I'm not gonna try and bring the CNY mood up, 'cos I know I'm probably gonna fail terribly. lol. On to movies! Yes yes. Watched Changeling the other day at Cineleisure.
Actually, after typing one line, trying to explain what the movie is about - I gave up. lol. It's like I keep repeating this? To my friends, to my sister. Sick of it /shifty. Just go to gv.com.sg and find out more. xD Just know that it's an awesome movie, heartwarming, heart wrenching, heart rending, heartbreaking. Whichever since all fits. lol xD
Speaking of movies - a feast of good movies are coming up, and I wanna watch them all! lol.
2 current on-going ones - Bride Wars (hilarious? xD), and Rachel Getting Married.
And some upcoming ones - Slumdog Millionaire (10 Academy Nominations o.O), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (13 Nominations O.O), Valkyrie, and Marley and Me! Some of the must watchs. Like, damn it. /shrugs. I think I'm quite a weirdo to like to enjoy the genre of Drama more than anything else. Notice that out of the 4 upcoming ones, 3 of them are Dramas o.o

That's for movies. And now - EATTTT! Who can survive without indulging in freaking excellent food? xD Not me, I know. lol.
The next 2 places Imma head to for a meallll!
First - CARNIVORE!

Yummy already, I know! As the name suggests, it serves meat, meat and meat! Of course, they have a whole wide range of salads too xD It's a buffet - 33bucks after including all the charges, for the lunch buffet. I wantttt.

Seconnndd - Brotzeit, German Bier Bar & Restaurant!

Need I say more? Main courses are about 20plus bucks. I just, need, uhh, work. /shifty.

But zomgod. I've been drooling to dine in this 2 restaurants for ages - see my wrinkles? xD

Alllriightyy. That's all for now. I really gotta go buy my clothes (I think xD), and prepare to head over to my cousins' house tonight! That'd be after dinner, but yeah. lol. Whootwhoot! Cousins gathering once again - Mahjong, cards, this don'tknowwhat vampire game, and funfunfun! Seeya after CNY!

Wishing all, a Happy Lunar New Year! (:

Whhootwhoot! Bush is downnn in a couple more hours. lol. It's the Inauguration Day, and the all so respected figurehead Barack Obama's gonna be sworn in real soon. If only I can be therrree. I think it'll be a whole lot of fun, and history, and, thick atmosphere. Haha.
Today is the last day for Bush to ruin the world. Or so I've heard from people. So true. lol.

And whooots! I've been talking about traveling with friends on HEX, yeah, HEX. lol. And all of us got so excited xD
Imma tell you guys my Top Destinations! Yeah man. Talking of it makes me high on drugs. lol.

#ONE: AUSTRALIA!
lol. Basically, anywhere in Aussie is fine. But probably Adelaide, Australia? 'Cos one of my closer HEX friends' there, and she can so show me around. And wine's great there, I heard. And and - there's a Safari Park just off one of the towns there. And I've been in love with Safaris since Survivor Gabon. More to touch on later.
Generally. A beautiful country, with beautiful people, and beautiful accent. That is why I've made my top destination Aussiiee! Whoots! Can't wait to go there.
And the artist of one of my two favorite songs right now - Untouched by The Veronicas - they are from *clears throat and gather all the Australian accent* AUStraLIA too XD
#TWO: London, England!
Two reasons that trigger my interest here, besides the fact that I'll be able to visit the Big Ben here, too. You can find both Harry Potter here, and Arsenal FC! Yeahhh mann. Like 'yi shi er niao' (a stone that kills two birds) - whoohoo! See, my Chinese still pwns 8) I wish. /shifty. xD
I really wanna experience a LIVE Match of Arsenal's one day. And buy all the freakin' awesome merchandises! Can I fly there nao? No? Oh. Damn.
#THREE: Paris, France!
I know, another heavy weight Europe country. Fashions aside, there're another 2 attractions I'd like to go to here too. One, Eiffel Tower. Like duhh. What else right? lol. But the other attraction that I'm more interested in is, The Louvre! Call me geeky, call me boring, I really want to visit this museum. I'm actually a person who likes museums - I know, I don't look like one xD But I find histories interesting - NOT, I repeat, NOT when studying it, but when, y'know, getting to know it informally and casually. lol. Huge difference I tell ya'. lol.
#FOUR: Kenya, Africa!
Located somewhere in between Egypt on its North and Madagascar on its South, Kenya, is the place to be to experience, like I mentioned earlier - Safari Park! And this ain't nothing like the Night Safari we have in Singapore - this is magnificent, this is huge. This is one of the most popular Safari destination in Africa, and one of the open plains kinda place. You know, those kinda feeling, where you can finally put a face to the sound of an elephant you hear all so often, herds and herds of deers, and other animals running across the plains. You must be mad not to be amazed and mesmerized by it :D
#FIVE: Italy!
I haven't made much research to this country here, but I love it. Beautiful people once again, and rich rich history /yup. A country that won the Football World Cup not too long ago too. Heh. Definitely in the list.
#SIX: New York City, New York, USA!
I know I know! I've heard stories and stories that this ain't a place to visit. Dangerous? Yes. Pollution? Yes. Not as awesome as you think. Yes too. But I -still- want to go. lol. I still think the sceneries' gonna pwn, the night view. And, what's USA without NYC? Haha xD
#SEVEN: Spain!
Not only do I support Spain during World Cups, I am also an avid supporter of Spanish, the language! Haha. Well, if I have the resources, serrrioously, I would have taken Spanish as my 3rd language. I guess I'll just have to wait. One of the most spoken languages in the world, I ain't gonna not learn this ever in my life :P

So there you go. Maybe you can tell me where are your top destinations. I wanna hearrrrr. Maybe we can go travel togetherrr :D

And ZOMGOD! MAH ROLEMODEL CLOTHES ARE HERRRREE. FERNIE JUST DELIVERED THE PIECE OF AWESOMELY GOOD NEWS TO ME. AND, I WANT I WANT THE SHIRTTTTTT NAOO.
The only thing is I don't know if it'll fit. XD
Mmkay. Sorry. Caps were on there. On purpose. I mean, it totally deserves the caps. xD
That's alllllllllllllll. Till then! :D

Can't wait for my ITP. And subsequently..

It's my first time having this shitty feeling? It's scary, but I'm an impatient person, and the no-nonsense typa' guy. I know it's not gonna bring me far, but I'm gonna leave it there for now /shrugs.

Patience fast draining dry, mood quickly and swiftly swept, I wonder how much longer can I be here. Zzzz. I can't say that everything is alright, because I know it isn't.
Complicationssss. Chapter 11 of Twilight.

Enough of blogspot. I'm going over to wordpress soon. I simply love the function of locking posts. lol. Or, I'll just vent there, and do my normal postings here, not like there are a lot of them, but yeah - one coming up soon! Went to Naumi Bar & Restaurant the other day. Had a I-want-more 3 course meal, and whiskey buffet. Haha. *Waits for Sister S to upload the pictures* xD

And damnnnn. I've already missed Lifehouse's Concert last year, where tickets were sold out when I was set on going for the 90bucks concert. And nao?! JASON MRAZ. Freakkkk. 145bucks, I am almost set on going, when I went to sistic.com and found out that the tickets, are, no prizes for guessing it right - SOLD OUT TOOOO! :(
Awww. Radio's my only chance noww. Come'on and let me wiiiinn. xD
Also, RSVP tickets. The bugger working at MOE is urging me to win xD
Annnddd, The Script's coming to town tooooo. Gosh. I need to work more to fund all this concerts xD I think I'll be going. Heh. Watched them live at MTVAsiaAwards, they are great live. High notes ain't a problem for the Irish Band. Haha. Plus, I love all the songs out on the radio so far. *Waits for Sister K to send me the whole album* XD Hopefully the ticket won't be too expensive :D

Now, 2-3 more projects and we're done. Can't wait, too.
Then it's exams. Let me study in peace, please. /rolls.

SO! The day has finally arrived! Revealing itself once again to the public and all the spotlights, the 18th Season - Survivor Tocantins - The Brazilian Highlands! Yeahhh' mann!!111!1!!1!!one1!! xD

Jeff is right - he said about how this season has some very likable people. And well, not some, he said, 'a lot'. lol. And indeed, after excitedly reading through their biographies, watching their introductory videos, and having some problems tying myself to the chair to prevent me from jumping around, I have already made some mental notes, and some personal favorites, right on the way.

In no order of merit.. lol.
Benjamin. He may not be the best-looking person around, but boy is he talented. lol. He put together a symphony 6 years back? I can't remember the year. And has written over 50 original classical pieces. Anyhows - that is the artistic part of him, only. Sporty - he is a soccer coach, and has been one for the past 30 years O.o And, adventurous - he has set a record for the longest kayak expedition, individually. 6000+ miles, I think, and for 6 months. It's pure madness how skilled he is in all the areas. I simply admire allrounders. lol. Good luck to him!
Erinn. Pretty face she may seem to be, I hope she isn't! lol. I love the way she talks. K. That's enough. XD Nawh. Kidding. lol. She's a hairstylist, and she deals with people every other minute. That is totally what she needs in the game, and showing the rest she isn't just a pretty face. Yay her. I really would like to see her go far, although I think she will not? Because of her physicality. lol.
Brendan. An entrepreneur! My dream, but well, I doubt I am that much a risk-taker and a conceptual person. Sigh. Oh wells, lol. Anyways, I feel I'm a little like him - a person who, well, would love to win the million bucks, of course, but it's okay if it doesn't - just have fun, and, basically, just the views of life.

People to look out for, and literally, look out for, though: Tyson.
EEWW man. lol. At first sight, I thought he was an old man. But he's only 29. So, shocker. xD
Anyways, why is he a person to look out? Because his favorite player is actually Johnny Fairplay?! Like O.O! lol xD And his skin is thick to the extent of not being able to see his face features, so.. You getit xD

I really can't wait for February 12! I WANT SURVIVOR BACK ON TEEVEE! lol. Otherwise I'll be a no-lifer, or so I've been told, for not watching tv! /glares. lol xD

Once again, Survivor, please come to Singapore. xD
-Continues dreaming-

I love this blog for it being my anger outlet, mannn.
The only thing is I can't scream at the screen, you know, it wouldn't make sense - like how people don't make sense to things they do.

Seriously, the limit has been crossed, AND crossed again. Suppressing it time and time, and time again - it sucks!
People need to know what's on top of their list, man. I am sooo pissed. It has been ongoing, and a person's limit is only this much.
Tying up people's loose ends hasn't been easier. And even more so when tons of projects come flooding in. And all people care is to sit there and wait. People say if you can't beat them, join them. So there, I joined. Serve you right for wasting your trip down for the meeting. Serve you right for all the misunderstandings. I don't care anymore. If you wanna get the project done, let's do it. If not, we'll see how it goes, yeah?

Really. People working 2 days before a project submission, when we haven't even touched a single bit. I fucking cancelled my 2 day weekend work for the project - no one else did likewise. What? It's by right I must take a leave for my work? I had so much explaining to do, so much confusion, and so much trouble for the people at work - I can fucking drop the projects and work for my money there anytime. Don't tell me your work is scheduled because get this - SO IS MINE. If I can get it cancelled, why can't you? All it takes is a piece of mouth - open it and you get it. What can they do? Sack you like I am risking mine? Come onn man. If you've got the cheek to tell us you're working, why don't you have one to tell your boss?

I can't stand it, seriously. No taking of initiative to ask if there're anything you can do, knowing you'll be fucking at work when everyone is dying, trying to put a report and a presentation together. Getting 3-4 hours of sleep on a daily basis isn't easy - not forgetting that the hours stayed up aren't for fun - it's for work, squeezing your brain till it stops working. It's those sufferings no one else understands - maybe except Fernie. Yeah, you so need to be recognized - and no one has the right to be angry at you or whatsoever.
People should so start to WORK already. Work your fucking ass off. Do something that no one needs to edit. Do something no one needs to re-do. Fuck it. If things need to be redone, why not we do your part from the start, RIGHT?

If only there are individual projects that KILL people - make you -have- to do what you -are- supposed to do. I would so enjoy seeing people die and drop in the abyss, and never to be seen again. Fuck off >.>

It is times like this I love to be a Corinne Kaplan. I love her, and I admire her. I almost shouted right in front of you, but I didn't. I held back, almost not possible, but I was able to. Fuck.

Good friends, true friends aside, it is from small occasions and small acts that you can see who your friends are.
I am utterly disappointed. With myself, just fyi. For not restraining myself hard enough. I have myself to blame.

2008-12-31T17:20:00.002+08:00

So, everyone knows there're officially 12 days of Christmas. So, here's a Merry Christmas to all! Not too late at all. xD

It's New Years Eve. ZOMGOD. I was just thinking how fast the clock turns - if only we can be in Pluto, when it takes a few hundred years on Earth for a year to pass over there. lol.
2008 has been, mhmm, I don't know, really. I can't remember xD /headdesk. But hey, 2008 is going to be the past in a couple more hours, so, who cares! :D

New Year Resolutions - it's not something I do every year. In fact, I can't remember a year that I've done so loyally or anything like that. Something new this year, I'm gonna list down a few things that Imma try to focus on in the upcoming year!

1. Imma be niiceee!
lol. As much as I addooree to be a bastard and a bitch, at the same time, it doesn't hurt to be nice, does it? The only thing I'm worried about is being too nice. Ooo. I'd hate that. lol. Well, I'll just -try-, mmkays? lol.
2. No more drinking, dude!
Yeahh. So I was having, something like a drinking streak. And man, I thought, I still want my liver. lol. So, no more casual drinking, nonono. Exception though - I'm still going to allow myself to drink in events like, uhh, wedding? And, events like RSVP and stuff. Hah. So, only special events (:
3. Improve on Photoshop skills!
Zomgod. This is like, something that can be done? But I'm all too lazy to go and study those tutorials found on Google >.> Eeks. Photoshop's gonna be useful, so please, go learn it. lol.
4. Be decisive!
Yes. Quit saying 'anything'. It's bad for health. Haha. But don't exploit me because of my resolution /glares. xD
5. Be more addicted and trivia-pro to Survivor.
Ooo. Can that even be considered a Resolution? Haha. But heyyy, I don't care! Haha. I'm going to, probably, watch Survivor from Season 1 on Youtube. xD I started watching from Season 10, it's 17 now (Gabon), and 18, in Tocantins in Brazil on Feb 12 2009. I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT. xD
6. Save up and travel to my top destination - Australia!
Plane tickets plus spending money, probably a thousand plus. I don't care - I wanna go thereeee! lol. I just love Aussie. And my goal is to travel there FIRST, above any where else via plane. lol.
7. Secret /shifty.

That's about it. Short and sweet.
Ahhh. Running late! Gotta head out to parrttay! lol. Not really, but yeah, our traditional stayover 8) lol. Seeya guys, next year! Hopefully 2009 will be a great one for allll of us (:

The past week has been pretty fruitful and fun, although I got emo from time to time, you can't blame me for the moodswing - must be because of the period /shifty. I don't know. No blood, no pads needed, but the moodswing just came swinging in. lol xD

Seriously, I can't remember much for the early part of this week, lol. It's late, I'm just sleepy from sleeping only 4 - 5 hours yesterday. lol.
Mmkay, on Tuesday, complimentary and courtesy of Mamata (whoohoo!), the few of us went to the Magic Show (J C Sum and Magic Babe Ning) at the Arena at Clarke Quay! I just want to say that, it is oh-so-freaking-awesome! lol. Not only was there an hour full of illusions and eye-opening magic (the only thing lacking is that there're no spells /shifty), it was also free flow of alcohol for like 3 hours. Free flow virgin I am, and a Singaporean, duhhhh, grab all you can yo'! lol xD Beer and vodka, down they go in my tummy. lol. At the end of 3 hours, I was more or less to my brim - one more and I know I'll be a drunkard. lol. Thus I stopped, unlike someone by the name of Mamata eh? lol xD Too funny, Mamata. lol.
Too lazy to type more - let's have the pictures do the talking!

I remembered the other time when Eevin, my sis and I tried to go in for an event, we couldn't because guys need to be 23. Like wtf. But now, I am in! Haha.

A couple of the spastic pictures:

Some of the girls..

There we go - with Ning and JC Sum!

Not too many pictures, I guess people were more or less 'high' or drunk. lol xD So home we went, with more picture-taking. lol.

Theerree. Fortunately, I got back home safe and sound. I swear I could have slept anywhere on the streets. lol xD
I really enjoyed myself - it was a much needed getaway. Haha. Thanks a lot, Mamata! Much much appreciated. Heh.

And yesterday, for the first time ever (yes, another virgin attempt at something xD), my sisters and I went for a S League Football match (students are free, bet you didn't know huh. lol. Not sure if it's only for Bukit Gombak's home ground though)! Cool or what? lol. The home ground for Bukit Gombak United is just a few blocks away from our house - so we decided to check it out - have been so for a few months now. lol. We finally got down to it and it was really chill-out and just, mhmm, nice to watch a match live, even though you might be turned off after having watched BPL for so many years. lol. But still, it's fun to watch :D It was Geylang United, the away team, taking on Bukit Gombak United. We were all for Geylang - where they had a 2-1 lead, until the last 15 bloody minutes! Then Gombak scored 2 to win the match in the last quarter of an hour! Damn it! lol. I can't wait to watch another match, should keep a lookout. It's just a nice feeling to get out in the night after school to catch a match, even though there may not be too many people interested.

Survivor tonight! But really? I'm REALLY tired :| I'm contemplating if I should sleep now and watch the episode on youtube, or stay up to watch it. Zzz. lol. And I've got work tomorrow! D: So maybe I should get some sleep huh. lol.
Bahhh. Can't wait for the RoleModel tees to be shipped in. COME'ON! xD

WHOOPS. I just fell asleep in front of the laptop - my head must be turning, see the variety of letters there. /shifty. xD I'm friggin' tired after soccer today. Totally off-form until the last match? lol. I had to drag myself to buy dinner home while on my way back. And I so didn't eat for like half an hour - stoning while eating *cough*.

School started 3 days ago. Pretty awesome so far. It has always been this way - I'll be super motivated to study and follow up with all the lectures and tutorials. But it usually only lasts for 3 weeks |: This time round, mhmm, I really don't know xD I guess time will tell. lol. *Prays*.
Monday was lecture for Travel and Tourism Practices (TTP) (or at least what I think the acronyms stand for /shifty) and Understanding Cross Cultural Diversity (UCCD). TTP is taught by Chih Wee, so, mhmm, I guess, pretty self-explanatory XD And I find UCCD pretty fun actually. Uhm, I so meant the module, not anything else *cough* yeah. lol. Projects already up D: Killllaasss.

Tuesday is officially the Lecture Day. You ought to be lectured if you skip this Lecture Day. /shifty. xDD 'Cos you'll miss 5 lectures - mad isn't it? I know. lol. Zzz. I need to sleep early on Monday nights so as to be able to concentrate on all the lectures man. Not only was I tired yesterday, my nose started doing workout again - running nose, like hell. I couldn't concentrate much despite trying so hard and helpless. lmao. *Chops off nose*. You so don't deserve a place on my body o.O

Today is the 8am day! Damnitttt. Wednesday's no longer slacking day, with 2 tutorials from 8am to 12pm, and then GEMS (Online Entrepreneurship) from 1pm to 3pm. I stole some luck from a lady, and lady luck was on my side for GEMS xD I went into the class, hoping to see some familiar faces, you know. Alasssss, there were none. lol. But in the end, I realised there were 3 other DTRMs lahhh - 2 from 03 and 1 from 05. Haha. So glad, and with the DTRM power, we grouped together and our projects will own everyone souls out there. Yay us. xD Class ended after only an hour, phew - it goes to show that the lecturer's pretty awesome. lmao xD At least for now xD
And soooo, I went to have a hair cut, yayyy. I love it short. It's so much easier to keep and style, pfft.

Phew. I haven't fallen asleep. There can be miracles, when you believe. Yeah, right. lol. Anyhows, yeah, check out the new songs for the blog! Jason Mraz feat. James Morrison - Details in Fabric (like wtfff! 2 of the best jazz, pop or whichever genre they're from singers! lol.) and Mamma Mia! The Movie soundtrack - The Winner Takes It All, it's my favorite song next to my all time ABBA song Super Trouper. lmfao xD It sounds better in the movie then plainly listening to it here, but still, enjoy the emoness of both of the songs. lmao. xD
Andddd, of course, I have to say I'm addicted to James Morrison's songs now. Thanks to my sisters. lol xD I've got songs from both his albums now, and it's playing on repeat in my iTunes playlist. xD

School starts at 11am tomorrow, shocked to find out when I checked earlier on xD So, yay, I can sleep longer and recover from the serious fatigue problem. lol xD

Awww. It's the last day of school break! I've been wanting to start school, until today, you know - the grass is greener on the other side, is working up again, as always. lol. The feeling of 'first-time' is in me once more, the feeling of nervousness and virginity sucks, even though you clearly know it isn't your first time going back to school. I ought to bang my head against the wall. How many times have we gone back to school after school breaks, and I'm feeling all 'new' again. Icks.

Just watched the latest episode of Gossip Girl. Yeah, I'm slow by 5 days, but still, although work isn't that tiring, it sucks all your energy away. lol.
Yes, if you haven't already know, I've been working at Jurong Bird Park (JBP) as a Ticketing Officer for the past week. Regretted so much why I didn't get to know this job earlier during the holiday. I could have worked more and have more blingbling to spend now. Damn it. lol. It's 6 bucks per hour, and it's freaking near my house? So it's the awesomest thing. lol. It's so much like Sentosa, you know, but Sentosa's policy's better - 'cos you can sit while selling tickets xD It's like taking a chill pill. lol! Thinking back, it really was an enjoyable job at Sentosa. Pay was as good, colleagues are greatttt - the only thing was the distance. lol. Alas, memories.
I wouldn't say it isn't good over here. It's just, mhmm, well, I have no idea how to put it across, but well, who cares, I'm only going to work during the weekends once school reopens, and I'm just going to do my thing and earn the mulas.

So I've been known to wear school shirts for all my life xD It's arguably the best time for me to spend on clothes now that I've earn a third of a grand. lol. Sooooo, I'm pretty excited at the things I've bought. Heh, weird feeling, but yeah. Here's what I've bought.
---> 2 Role Model Clothes (ZOMGOD /flails) @ 45 bucks each. I'm so proud to show it off, so, here:

More designs, if desired, can be found here: www.rolemodelclothing.com
I highly recommend you to check them out XD And, special thanks extended to Fernehhh! lol xD And her aunt, of course, for both helping me to get the clothes on way or the other. I need to wait another up-to 9 weeks for the clothes to be shipped over from Canada. lol! Hopefully it takes much lesser time. I can't wait to wear it. Whoosh!
---> 1 Freshbox White, Striped Polo tee @ 37 bucks.
---> 1 Club Marc Shorts @ 30 bucks. Fernie's recommendation to buy at Club Marc because of its sales. lol.
So that's half of my pay gone. lmfao. I'm still looking to buy a new bag, one more shorts (white), and a jeans (black). Those are my main priorities. lol. And of course, a much much needed new mobile? Yeah? I know you agree with me. LOL. But I don't know when will I get down to buying it /shrugs. lol.

Oh heyy. I'm here. It means that I didn't do too badly for my GPA xD In fact, I did better than expected, and it was a heck of a relief. More blank-outs yo'! lol xD I only know I don't deserve this, and I'm gonna work harddddddd -crossesfingers- next semester. lol. Hopefully >.>

*Lets out a sigh of relief* This past week has been, well, pretty fruitful I must say. lol. Most of the times, I'm just sitting in front of the electrical appliance, whatever this thing I'm typing on is *cough*, but yeah, so, have my hair cut (OHTHANKGOD xD) on Monday, went to watch Mamma Mia! with my sister and Fernie (I know, weird combination right, but who cares. We mingle. XD), and basically doing sports the following 2 days. Like zomggzz, soocerrrrr. It has been years, to exaggerate it, lol, but everytime I go back to playing it, it seems like it's my debut over again. lol.
And yes. Mamma Mia! If you haven't watch it, where have you been? /glares lol. It's a musical movie, and everyone knows I'm a musical fan! xD Mmkay. Not everyone. lol xDD Like Hairspray, High School Musical (whhuttt. Can't I like HSM? I'm young at heart like that. lol. I CAN'T FRIGGIN' WAIT FOR HSM 3 XD), and Music and Lyrics. Ooo that one is nice :D But yeahh. And Mamma Mia! is different. In the sense that they feature ABBA music. And who doesn't know ABBA musics? xD So it's like you can totally hum to the songs that they burst out into out of nowhere, unlike in other musicals. lol. So it's really really enjoyable. lol. Must watch!

(Survivor Spoilers ahead xD)
SO. Friday! The 26th! SURVIVOR GABON IS IN DA' HOUSE YO'! *Hem* Sorry. lol. So, it was direct telecast today at 2pm. As always, the first always is a special 2 hours telecast. So, Survivor feast man! lol. Like, oohgooshh. I'm addicted to it like I'm addicted to, uhm, nothing else O.o I can't wait for next Friday already. Dang it. Anyhows, if you are reading this and don't intend to watch it - tell me, so that I can spank ya' xD Everyone must watch it! It's freakin' awesome. I actually am so hardcore that I've read all their profiles and watched their introductory videos like 2 weeks ago. Uhm, yeah. lol. So the picks that I've made by reading and watching are Corrine, Marcus and Paloma. Yay yay! Anndddd, coincidentally, all 3 of them are in the same tribe - KOTA! HO! HO! HO! HO! *Waves yellow flag* lol. Annnd Marcus and Corrine are actually in an alliance, together with Charlie (how everyone hates how he talks, but anyhow) and Jacquie, how fantastic and easy to support huh. lol xD
So, I can't believe a past Olympian, Gold Medalist in Athens 2004, mind you, can't get her ass up the hill in the first challenge. Like O.o I thought you were an Olympiannn. lol. While the last picked Michelle was the first girl to reach the top. Sallutees. I started to like her in the game already, but she was unfortunately voted off. Like shit it man! lol. Dang Gillian. Fortunately it's you who got voted off 2nd and not Ken or Dan, otherwise I'd go after your life. lol.
When will Survivor Singapore debut? *Dreams* lol.

Anyhows. Alrighty. Got a weekend off to slack. Zzz. Byye.

Writers' block. That's the only excuse I can churn out. lol xD No, but really, I haven't been busy. In fact, the past few weeks have been the, free-est of times. lmfao. Jobless. Schoolless. So yeah. So, the only reason left? LAZEH. Yeah. Soorryyy. lol. I've got quite some stuff to blog about, but as I drag and drag and procrastinated and procrastinated, all the stuff got outdated. So, no point. lol.

Ask me what I've been doing this past few days. TV SERIES yo'. lol xD Addicted to them am I. Gossip Girl Season 2 just came out September 1st. Episode 3 just got put up on the net, can't wait to watch. Watched 90210 too - hold up - it's the new version, new casts and all. lol. It's awesome. I love it. Also, only 3 episodes out. And, trying to catch up on The O.C.. I'm up to Episode 15 of Season 1 already. Psh, I started like yesterday or something, so, yay me. lol. WHAT. Stop staring! It's just like you guys watching those sappy teary korean dramamamas? lmfao xD I'm also about to watch Privileged. First ever episode just came out too, so, whoots to all the new series coming out, all after Summer. lol.
Speaking of after Summer - David Cook and the PCD's albums are coming out this Fall! Wheee. Although, well, no work = no album-buying :( As much as I'd love to get them, I don't wanna dig further into my pocket for those. Aww saddd.

Anyways. So, tomorrow morning, at about 3am or so, the GPA's gonna come. The truth is gonna hit SO HARD on my freakin' face >.> Like, the truth and fact of 'concentrate on your studies, dude', and all the promises I've promised myself - of doing projects on time, of doing tutorials, of not skipping lectures, of- okay. I think I've at least done a thing - I feel that I've studied beforehand. At the least - better than before. So I'm at least happy with myself about that point. Projects. Tutorials. Lectures. Gosh. Slacker much? lol.
So, it'd be a blessing to get a GPA 3.0. It's nothing good. I'd still hate myself for getting only 3.0. But it's better than anything lower than that. One. Big. Sigh.
If you don't see any more blog posts, then it must be that Edsmond is gone. Edsmond's GPA's too low /shifty Mmkay. I'm kiddinggggg. lol. I'd never slit my wrist or throat because of results. Maybe just a day or two of drinking, banging my head against the wall, and stuff like that. Then I'll be fine, nothing much I promise. lol xD

So, Happy Belated Mid-Autumn Festival to you guys. 2 days late is better than nothing, so stop complaining. lol. As a tradition, I celebrated it with mah' cousins. Whooshh. Burning candles. Burning lanterns (yeahhh?). Burning trees (WHAT?). lol xD Memories are greatt. lol. Also celebrated one of their birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH HUI! (: It's gonna be fun when we grow up. Like, ten over of us, gathering together and stuff. Haha. Maybe we should take over the weekend game of cards tradition 8) lol.

I don't know. I haven't been blogging, so I haven't really pour my thoughts out as much.
Like, what's up with people nowadays? :/ Being unappreciative and stuff. First that incident, which made me almost want to give up on all of that, and now this. After all that has been done for us, we're doing this to her? >.> Heart, guys? Eaten up? It really annoys me to have people around me to be like this. I can't possibly put this across straight, neither do I -want- to. It sucks ):
Yeah, it's easier said than done. Although I haven't exactly -say- that while some others have, I know I still mean it in my heart /yup I'm always treasure you as a good friend ((:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERNIE (: Good luck for your results. I don't want to be treating you to a meal alright. lol.

And too, good luck to me. I'm gonna camp by the laptop to wait for the results (:

And so, I don't usually change blogskins, or rather, I'm rather picky with blogskins. Fortunately today, with just one attempt in searching for a whole new suitable skin, I chanced upon this awesome skin; the starfishes, the seashell :D
I would put up other songs (although this is almost the next best to suit the theme), but imeem doesn't have it yet. One's The Script's The Man Who Can't Be Moved, and another's Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat's Lucky. I TELL YOU - the 2 songs are really burning hawt in my head right now. lol. Lucky I have 'Lucky' in my iTunes /shifty, I'm so eyeing for The Script's to come out soon. I can't wait to have it in my Library. I need to put it on repeat for 3432467801 times. lol. Anyways, you guys need to check out the lyrics for both. Sweetttt I tellya'. lol.
Edit: Thanks to Zane's blog, I realised this new music player is the coolest (: It has both that songs. So, play them (:
[/edit]

Speaking of music and songs, Death Cab for Cutie came down town for a full concert just 2 days back, on Tuesday I think. Heard the tickets sold out just 5 days after it came out? Unless I heard it wrongly, but w-o-w. I didn't know that there're this many fans in Singapore. lol. Although I'm not a huge fan, I am jealous of those who went : 'Cos I heard they perform live real well, and so far, I adore the songs I've heard that are from them.
'Tis okayy! Avril Lavigne's coming down on 7th September! Kay, I know her live -sucks-, and I know I wouldn't spend on the tickets, I'm trying to see if I can win it on radio next week. lol. I remembered her coming down only not long ago, during Linkin' Park's period, or was it Simple Plan. Can't remember, but boy does she love Singapore huh. lmao xD
Gogo Timo and Fernie! We must win tickets okayys! Haha. Ears glue to the radio 24/7 next week. Throw exams away /shifty.

AWRGH exams. Damndamndamn. As much as I'm glad that there're only 3 papers spread across 2 weeks, I still think that I've slacked far too much for my own good : So, I've only finished IHRO notes-making. And going to study FMAH tomorrow with Timo. God bless. Really appreciated, because we basically skipped the last coughFEWcough lectures. Define few. Let's just say it's not a standard definition of few :P Budgeting, Pricing - all dead. lol. It all depends on my godly-ness now. lmfao xD Needless to say, I haven't start on BLAW. And god knows how many tutorials did I skip for BLAW. At the -least-, 5. Pfft. Don't drop your jaws. lol. Sorry 'chherrr : *Isdeterminedtomakeitupbyscoringgood*.
So, my target for the semester.
RWPS: A
IHRO: B+
BLAW: A
MICE: B (if even possible. No 'C' pleaseeeeee)
TBR: B (thanks to the last project. lmfao xD It was C-R-A-P. Yay)
FMAH: A
GEMS: A (I got 96% for the last project! /flails. 3 Cheers for putting effort into projects myself and not depending on others. And, thanks Timo for accommodating me the day before the project was due because my internet was down. lol)
I don't even dare to calculate the GPA for that >.> So, let's just leave it there. lol.

Just last Monday, I went to catch 'The Mummy' with my eldest sister, together with Shan and Ros! Whoots. All thanks to my sister for winning the tickets (Movies on Monday). And guess what was the reason she gave to Shan&Ros? 'I wanna catch the Harry Potter trailer that has just been released'. Brilliiantt. And she got it! lol. Mmkay, no complains from me, I gotta join her. Haha.
Yes, just like Ros, I left my brains at the doorstep and went in to catch the movie - 'cos I think it's not as bad as the countless reviews on it! Fights were engaging, storyline's pretty interesting and stuff. I mean, as predictable as it may get, it's nevertheless a new kind of storyline, not those of almost identical romantic movies. lol. So, I pretty enjoyed it. Mkay, maybe also because my expectation of this episode of the continuation of The Mummy isn't that high, since I didn't catch the first installments, which, claimed by a lot, are so much better. lol. Anyhows, love the treat (:

To end off this post with more excitement and atmosphere (okay, I don't know why that xD), I'm set to change my wardrobe (as if I have one now xD) over the holidays! Whoots! So, shopping spree, here I come - clothes, pants, jeans and maybe a watch. We shall see. Bwahaha. lol xD

"...the 5 sweet little pussy *pauses* cat dolls!"
Quote unquote from Jared Leto, the frontman of the band '30 Seconds to Mars', and the host for the MTV Asia Awards at Genting Malaysia this year, together with Karen Mok, who clinched the 'Inspiration Award' awarded by MTV.

So, yes! 5 Pussy - cat dolls kicked off the show with more than a loud bang! Standing at the front row of the second portion of the free standing area (first portion was for mosh pitters), I, uncontrollably, -have- to step up on the railing to take a better look at the censorpussiescensor. Pfft. I didn't know watching them live cougharousescough you so much more. Dundunnnn. Don't be jealous. lol. Here are some pictures to satisfy you.

They started off with 'Buttons', followed by latest hit single 'When I Grow Up', also known as Timo's theme song. lmfao xD

Melody and Nicole.

Oh. Watch your hands, ladies. lol.

Omfg >.> Their dancing is- ahhh. *Speechless*

1 2 3 pose!

*Flails* xD

All wearing tight pants aren't they? lol. Because they are in Malaysia and they can't be banned again (like the other time they were there for a concert). Pssh. They should so come to Singapore for a full concert soon. (AHHH! SINGFEST! DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!)
And another picture of them when they were presenting awards.

Apologize? Stop & Stare? Yup yup. Those are the songs OneRepublic sang during their time on stage. They're just as great live as they are recorded. Their obvious success was further confirmed and reassured by the receipt of an award that night - 'Best Hook-Up' with Timbaland for the song 'Apologize'.

Other than the lead singer, Ryan Tedder..

And a picture of them receiving the award ^^

Congratulations!

Continuing the night was our very own Electrico and Stefanie Sun (eeks. LOL).

Is this picture artistic by chance or what. lol.

Stefanie Sun also won for herself, the 5th time, the 'Favorite Artiste Singapore'.

Also, this next band deserves some good publicity. 'The Script' is a new band releasing their first ever album some time real soon. And from what I heard, they can really sing. So, lookout for their songs!

The lead singer has this habit of raising his left hand when singing. lol.

Them giving out an award.

So I was standing there. This person standing to my left, was, apparently a hugeeee fan of Leona Lewis. She was screaming 'LEONA! LEONA!' right from the start. lmao xD I don't blame her for screaming ('cos I screamed just as much when PCD appeared, and my sister screamed as much throughout the whole show 'cos Jared Leto was the host? lmao).
Quoted from the radio, "A person with a big hair and a big voice'. And indeed, even without her big hairdo that evening, her big voice was still present. You know, after each performance, the crowd would normally give the 'Rock-on' sign and scream 'whooo!', but not the case after Leona's performance. Because literally most of the crowd applaud in approval of her voice. She sang 'Bleeding Love' and 'Better in Time', and boy does the crowd love it! She can really hit high high and freaking high notes flawlessly. The crowd basically loved it and she deserved the applause. She also has under her belt the 'Breakthrough Artist'.

Awwh. Such a sweetheart (:

Her receiving the award.

Up next is 'literally the biggest band in the world' - Jared Leto. lol. Super Junior, the Korean band that every girl is crazy over. Okay. Not every, but whenever their name was mentioned, fangirl screams can be heard. lmao.
I, a person who is not into the Chinese music industry, of course, am new to them. But soon into their performance, I was convinced that yes, they are talented and it's no wonder they have such a huge fan base. lol. Not only do they sing, they dance well too. Anndd - I really really wonder how on Earth do they manage the band, and how they get along with each other - THIRTEEN of them. lol. They've also won for themselves 'Favorite Artiste Korea'. Congrats!

The person who caught my eye is the one on the right (I have totally no idea what their name is. lol). He started their performance with a wide range of vocals. That is uber admirable. On top of it, he dances pretty okay too. I mean, you can see he's better in singing than dancing, but he still can pull it off pretty nicely. Very nice stuff.

This is a shot of them dancing. Their choreography is excellennntt stuff. lol. It flows with the music very neatly.

Next in the lineup is the oh-so-popular-in-asia band, one who came to Singapore for a full concert 2 months ago. They need no more introduction - it's The Click Five! :D
They're here again in Asia only after a short period of 2 months. And pfft. Maybe it's because of this - what one of them said: 'Thank you MTV ... they flew us in on First Class. And that was very nice of them." lmfao xD Which idiot will turn down a First Class fly in to perform? Ahh rich rich MTV. lol.

Let's start off the feast with crowd favorite Kyle Patrick. lol.

And what he does best at the end. lol. *Does the 'lemme-hear-you-screammmmm action* lol.

And the one well known for shaking his ass and going craazzzzyyy in concerts. lol.

A shot of them giving out an award.

Hold upppp! No panic 'cos Panic at the Disco is innn 'daaa houuseee yo'! lol xD Okay. No link. Not funny. But who cares! lol. Panic closed off the show just as high a note as how PCD opened the show.

[All pictures taken by my sister Sharon. YEY! :D]

Pheww. One long post. lol. I just gotta say 'YEY FOR HAVING THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE MAA!'
- It's the furthest destination I've been to in 18 years. Yes, that's how pathetic I am. lol.
- It's one of the best 'concert' I've been to. Comparable to Linkin' Park's. Yesh. And and - Linkin' Park won the 'Favorite International Artiste'. Cool beans! lol.
- It's like a holiday for me. Which is much much needed. Thank youuuu! To god-knows-who. LOL.

Yey. I seriously thoroughly enjoyed myself, except for the bus ride where my legs are too long to stretch fully, and the permanent air-conditioned Genting, 'cos I didn't bring my jacket along. lol.

I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail and I failleddddd! :(
I can't feel -ANY- worse than now. I just screwed up FMAH paper. BIG TIME. And yes you might be thinking 'not again, Edsmond. Don't lie' - all I have to say is, do believe me at least for this once >.> Just take it as a fact I HAVE already failed the paper. FAILED. What have I been doing?! Duuddeeeeee. I couldn't believe myself when I started doing the paper and gradually realised that I don't know how to do annythiingggg. Like out of 50 marks, the only marks I feel confident in getting is, guess how freaking many? 15! Like wtf! What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doinggggg? >.> Couldn't and can't believe myself, nononononooooo. 'Ahh, don't worry. Who knows you'll still get a good result?' NO. NEVER gonna happen >.> Just look at my paper when I get it back. Really, it can't get any worse. Like, blanks blanks blanks.
I. Am. Screwed.
Kill. Me.
It started pouring while the train was nearing Boonlay. I was like 'damnnnn. this is -so- making me feel better'. Then when the train reached the station, a guy came up to me. 'Detective. Detective.' I turned around, 'cos I remembered I was wearing the red color FOC shirt. lol. Then he went, 'Do you play any instruments?' I was like o.O 'instruments as in musical instrument?'. He said 'yeah'. And I said, 'Yeah. A little bit of drums. Justttt a little.' Then he went on to say, 'Ooo drums. You should try playing string instruments.' I expressed I would like to learn, just lacking the time for it. Finally he said, 'you should go learn it. Look at your fingers'.
L-O-L. It's just a small act, it's nothing much, but it cheered me up just a little. lol. I thought it's funneh xD
I don't know what or how I am feeling right now anyways. Huge sigh. Maybe I should say no words can express how I feel now.

Heading over to Fernie's house to finish up MICE Report with the rest shortly. Totally no mood to blog about other stuff. Next post then!

Dreams of getting a perfect GPA is drifting awayyyyy. lol. And Timo, no laughing xD
Got 78 for TBR CA2. Yes, 78 again. Meaning currently standing, for TBR, is 78 for CA1 and 78 for CA2. Assuming my Participation Marks is 7 out of 10, the next project, which is the last and final one, will need to achieve 85 to get an 'A'. How easy is that? Yey. lol.
That's one module. And RWPS - we just got back the results today. And guess whatttt, 74 before moderation! lol. Fantastic result. Yey. That's the second module without an 'A'.
And we still have MICE and IHRO results to get back. All just seems too harddd. Damnnn.

4 more projects to complete. Only. Whooots! All within 3 weeks. MICE, TBR, RWPS and BLAW coming up. So exciting! lol. Plus FMAH test next week. Study study, mugging, mugging and more mugging. Eeps. Bloody stuffs. lol. I can totally forsee that my illness of procrastination is gonna work up again. But I have to stop it somehow or another if I still want the desired GPA. lol.

Yawns yawns and more yawning. Tired's the only word to describe me now. lol xD I guess this post is gonna be like the shortest of the century.

Today is a special day.
Not only because exactly 3 years ago, Good Charlotte came down for a concert, and I went.
3 years after that, which is today - IS THE COMPLETION OF IHRO SHATEC PROJECT!
And trust me, this project is a way larger scale thing than the Concert. Pfft, this project is an energy-sucker, morale-decreaser and get this: TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT.
It's worth 20% - ONLY, with so much hard work put in - the amount of time, the amount of money. Really, time and money both gone - your life is gone. LOL. That was what happened this past week - my life was seriously dead. No life no life no life no life no life..

After staying back in school/going out to buy what is needed for the project for consecutively 7 days or so, and chipping in about 17bucks each, excluding the formal top we bought, everything has come to an end. Can anyone see the smile creased on my face now? :D
This is one special project, yes yes. And I -love- my groupmates.
PJ. Our Captain. You're always a capable woman in our perspective. No way can you shake that title off. I can't help but say that your General Knowledge can easily pwn anyone else. And we have nothing to worry with you in our group and being our captain. Salute to you (: Although you're a Cocktail-addict. Pfft. lol.
Reyern. Our Runner. The dirty work he has got, no complains. None at all. He not only was our runner, he was our waiter too. Helped out a lot, as least what I saw. Except for the 'make me a mocktail / for who? / myself' part (LOL), you're great. lol! Kiddin' (: Thanks for always pushing us to work, lol. Although it's irritating, but it's useful! lol.
Fernie. Our Waitress. Thank you for always making your house free for us to discuss our project, AND SLACK. lol. Thanks for rushing all the way to Toa Payoh just to get our beverage menu, name tag and feedback form printed out. All the dirty work off-scene too, thanks!
Priscilla. Our Waitress. Thank you for forking out money for all the items first. Richgirllll! lol. Okay, not really, more like kind and she totally trusts us. Yey. Haha. Thanks for always sacrificing your time and stuff to get things done too. It's much appreciated (:
Jian An. Our Waiter. And the ultimate show-stealer crumb-down guy! Haha. I'm so not gonna elaborate more. All our stunts are kept confidential 8) Like Ronald said, your crappiness and cockiness certainly did help out a lot, in terms of coming up with bullshit ideas and all. lol. One thing though - control your bullshitting. LOL. Kiddin' :P

And that makes up the 'Behind Bars Investigators' in 'Behind Bars'. Aiisehh. Coolstuff. Really, Baljit and Ronald, if we are given more time, we'd have up it and make our theme stand out more. ONE week to prepare all this is, I can't help but say - excellent stuff! Great job guys, same to the other groups. We rock for being the first!

Now the report. Pfft. Killa'.

Edit: Pictures UP!

The uber cool Beverage Menu's Envelope

And finally, presenting the freakin'coolandcute Bartender. Clap please /shifty.

[/thickskin] LOL. All for entertainment value. HAHA.

Really, why do people feel that they're a notch higher than others?
True, they are. But still, don't you feel all big-headed?
This is definitely not the first time I see someone like that.
And it pisses me off so.
HE - is the 2nd lecturer I have no respect for, really.
And it gets to me when people don't have the guts to stand up for what's right and wrong.
Sucking up. AND more sucking up.
People who still answered his question in the tutorial. Pfft, you're not angered because it's not you, but no thoughts for your friends? :/
I'm sorry for all the fucking shit he threw on you.
If I had a gun, I'd probably have pull the trigger there and then.
Did you think I really forgot my answers for the questions?
Hell no. My memory's still working fine. I'll only be going against myself if I answered the questions.
Authoritative, Arrogant, Proud. EEKS.

O.o I was too tired I slept at 1030pm yesterday night. Like woahingly early. lol. I stood up and felt like sinking to the floor immediately. lol. I can fall asleep lying on the cold hard floor, or half body on the mattress and half body on the floor. lol. Anywhere. And because I was too tired, I didn't even bother to switch off the laptop, lol. Or maybe 'cos I thought I might go back to using the laptop a while later. lol. When I on the laptop again this morning, whooooo. 9 MSN popups. LOL. It's fun talking and replying to the 'dead' (those who are offline), and coughSOMEONEzanecough complained about replying to him when he's offline. lol. Duddee, keep a history. Pfft. lol. And you may just be suffering from senility. lol.

And another good piece of news. Whoots! I gotsa ninezy three perzent for BLAW! Yey. Although our class did reallllly good. I forgot if we have 13 or 14 As. Really, I didn't expect such marks >.> If only I can give some marks to other people >.> Because really, in studies, I always believe in how much effort you put in and 'you reap what you sow'. Shall not say more ^^ lol.

Anywayyss, we had a lecture yesterday for the SHATEC Project - and we get to see how to mix cocktails and mocktails. And got to try it too. Something fresh and it's uber fun /yup. But one question - how on Earth can we get all those ingredients to try out on? :/ We're still students yo', we don't have excess money to buy those expensive liquors and stuff >.> This whole project's a little cocky at times I feel. lol.

And decision-making time again. Should I go to GYL? >.> Really, I am looking forward for the fun, but right now, I really really don't have the mood to go for camping, let alone overseas o.O It's like bonding all over again, getting high etc. Hooowwwwwwww?! Bawrrgh. I need to give an answer asap. Any opinions? lol. Although not from Aliyo or CC *cough* lol. And oh yes, it's gonna be another hundred plus bucks. Freakk.

And I'm a virgin in this area o.O I'm really not gonna say what it is about, 'cos I don't wanna get into any trouble, be it with 'moderators' here or any paoto/sabo kings/queens around here. lol.

Can I rant?
Of course you can. lol.
We only get 78% for TBR CA1 Project o.O Wtf? We put in SO much effort to not even get an 'A' :/ And because the other groups dragged and ate into our time, Ms Wang actually thought it was us (we were the last to present) who had poor time management. Eeks man. I think we had the least amount of time? Considering our time was eaten into, and we couldn't eat into the next timeslot because we had lessons. Damn it >.> Our powerpoint totally pwned, our summary too - unique and inclusive of everything. We kept to a page, unlike -coughhhhh-. I just thought our marks shouldn't that that far off from the other group. nfdisfbsdfogdsbfodsfbdsgfds! Whatever that may be. lol.

TBR lecture was this morning from 9-10am, then break from 10am-4pm. lmfao. Yes, 6 hours. So we had a tiny class outing! To Cineleisure to catch 'Wanted'. Whoozaa! I pretty much like the show - the plot, and uhem, Angelina Jolie. lol. But no, the plot's more than decent. Haha. Too bad for some, it's NC16. lol. The show's filled with bursting people's heads and the godly 'F' word xD Halfway through the show - urgent call. Then we went to have Yoshinoya. After the meal - nature's call again xD I am doubting the functionality of my bladder now. Mhmm /suspicious. LOL.

We're gonna get back BLAW results tomorrow. Eeks. Suddenly I feel so not prepared to receive the grades. lol. Sighh. Whatever. lol.
And yey for me still not done with the tutorial. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it later. Yes yes, I'm well aware of the time now. lol. But we shall see xD Chances are, I'll not do. LOL.

Feeling kindda emoish. Damn.

Triple happiness todayyy! Whoots! Although I still have something stuck in my mind (mainly the yet-to-be-done project), this 3 happenings today definitely soothe it a little. lol.

1. FMAH gradddeee! My aim's reachheddd! Full marks! lol. *Dies a little*. I'm just so grateful that I can score it the way it is now considering how much effort I put in. I bet someone made me drink Felix Felicis the night before the paper. LOL. Or or or, everyone else was using the Anti-Cheating Quill, except me o.O Bloody brilliant! lol. Orrrr, I totally charmed the invigilator who revealed all the answers to me 8) lol. Or I accio-ed the lecture notes when I was taking the paper (and which I've already put the Invisibility Cloak on top of it so that when it flies, no one can see it /shifty).
Yey. Enough. XD
Anyhows, I totally win a bet with Timo! lol. The bet is: If he gets A for FMAH, he'll treat me to a meal, if he gets B, I'll treat him. And guess what did he get - 80 marks! lmfao! An A! Whooosh! lol!

2. MICE CA1 Project grade! The one on the interview thingy. lol. Although we freakin' didn't get A for it, we are the highest among all the groups! We got 78! Yeyy. Super 'ngiao' (yes, 'nigao-er' than Pat Yap. LOL) Chih Wee just couldn't bring himself to give us 2 more marks! Damn. lol. But 'tis okay. I'm still pretty satisfied. Yey yey go go PJ, Kuanhuai, Timo, Fernie, and Pris! Once again, we make a good team 8) lol.

3. It's a virtual achievement. lol. I totally was elected and voted the Head Boy of Gryffie! Yey. Yeahhh, no one is gonna know what I'm talking about, or how glorious it is, but whoootts! You don't have to know, just know I'm over the moon. lmao xD Gryffie HB for the next half of the year, so I'm gonna be lurking in both Diagon Alley and Common Room now. lol.

And mhm. Retard a little - SPAIN WON EURO08!!!! ZOMG! lol! Torres was brilliant, and Spain's defence was nothing short of perfect (except the starting where they were a wee bit nervous. lol). Too bad Germany. Neeehhhhhh :P

Waiittt upp! Exams are over? :O Finally. *Wipes sweat off* lol.

The past week has been a nightmare, really. I've been procrastinating the most, ever in my book of record. And I started way to late to begin with, and I'm like praying for a still-good results, promising I'll study earlier for Final Exams. Maybe I should start studying now. *Buries my head in the books* xD

Start of Nightmare: FMAH.
Well arguably this is the module I studied the most, lol. Which is the case almost everytime - for the first paper to be tested, isn't it? lol. I was very uhh-what-is-going-on at first, but when I started practicing on pastyear papers, I started to feel 'whole' and confident. And yey, at least I got the Book Value of $2.02 right. lol xD
Definitely aiming for an 'A'. Uhh no, actually, full marks. Wheee.

Right. LOL xD

2nd Day of Nightmare: BLAW
Fortunately, it was just the first two chapters - which I absorbed a lot because I was a nerd in the first 3 weeks of school - I read through and highlighted the notes and all even before lecture. Yey me. But that only lasted for 3 weeks. But it came into good use for BLAW paper 'cos of the few chapters tested. lol. Despite so, I still find the paper, mhmm, a 'tadddd bit tough. lol.
Aiming for either a low 'A' or high 'B'. But leaning towards low 'A' xD

Mid of Nightmare: MICE
Whoots. Really, I'm starting to like MICE. But only because the notes were easy to memorise! lol. This is one module which I think, uhh, almost everyone doesn't listen to in lecture? lol. It's really bullshit. Haha. Basically every lecture is using of laptop *cougheventhoughwearen'tallowedtocough*, daydreaming, staring at blank spaces, or, uhm, skipping of lecture. LOL. But when I started to prepare the notes, I realised how easy it was, at least to memorise. I don't know how or why but they go into mah' brain after just reading through it twice. It's very sytematic/sequential, maybe. And memorising it was kind of a breeze. Well at least compared to TBR/IHRO. Agreeable? LOL.
I'm aiming for mid 'B', despite being able to memorise them all. Because of the Application part - it killed and swept everyone out! It's madness. Like wtf are you talking about. And it was 12 or 14 marks, I think. lol. Like totally no linkage *dothefingersthing*, and so, it's all up to my crapping skills now ^^

4th Day of Nightmare: TBR
Ohh boy is this the nightmare of all-time. lol. FIRSTLY, the lecture notes are freaakkkkiin' messy, confusing and everything bad? Like, it took me a few hours to put together the notes for Topic 5, and another few for Topic 4. WTF righttt. And then finally I didn't have time to make notes for Topic 2&3, but with only myself to blame because I slacked and only did the notes the day before TBR, which is straight after MICE paper. Sooo.. lol. And that explains why I couldn't do much of the Maslow's Theory and TravelCareerPattern question. Serve me right. lol >.> But really, she asked us to concentrate on Topic 5 and in the end, only Authenticity came out? Siighhhh. Anyhows, no matter what happen, I just can't bring myself to hate MsWang. LOL. She's just too good and funny. It's just like Pat Yap, if you tell me she murdered someone in the past, I will still look up to her and enjoy her lessons. lol.
My aim for this is, uhh, 'C'. LOL.
Now haven't you see the trend yet? From A, to low A or high B, to B, to C.

END OF NIGHTMARE, ZOMG: IHRO
And seeing how the trend goes, I was expecting a 'C' or a 'D'. lol. THANKS TO TIMO for his notes xD Seee. I procrastinate to this degree where I need someone else's notes. Shammee. lol xD Got back home after TBR AND lunch at IMM (yeah, we still had the mood to eat and melt at the HongKong Cafe till like 1pm or 2pm, when the paper ended at 10am. LOL), and started to add whatever relevant to the notes. Slept for 2 hours (4-6pm), woke up, still with painful eyes from the lack of sleep from sleeping at 2am and waking up at 5am to study for TBR the other day, lol. Then it was time to start memorising all those crap xD
Aim: Same as BLAW, low 'A' or high 'B', but leaning towards high 'B'. lol.

AND NO MORE NIGHTMARES! lol.
I realised how freakin' difficult it was to sleep with things all stuck in your head. Unlike yesterday, when I was on my bed, I slept almost immediately. Because I no longer have all this exams and shitty stuff stuck in my head. I feel so comfortable now. lol.
Had lunch with Priscilla, Jian An, Fernie and Reyern at Marina Square's Subway. The offer now is awesome! lol. 6-inch Sandwich + Snapple + 2 cookiesORa packet of chips + Sure-win Scratch Card for 7.20bucks. Everyone should enjoy this healthy meal. LOL.
And tired as we were yesterday, from all the lastminute mugging, we yearned not to sleep early on the day that exams end. And I successfully kept my eyes open till 2am! Whoots! lol xD Don't you think that sleeping early on the last day of exams kill it allllll? lol.

Wanted to sleep till 3pm. But woke up at 1pm. DAMNN. lol xD

1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.

2. Will you get far in life?

Maybe like I shook my bon bon till I'm on Youtube? Right. Frreaaakkk! lol!

7. What was high school like?
Umbrella - Rihanna
lmao. Sheltered I'd interpret? Something like, yeah, well-taken care of, very at-home, very comfortable. Mhmm, I'd say somewhere there. High School (or Secondary School as we call) is pretty much a fun time for me with my class, BFFs and SC (:

-almostfallsoffthechair- Nonono. I'm not eyeing their bones, definitely. I'm not that sick >.> lol. Maybe the best thing about my friends is that they come in different sizes? Like the size of their bones - tall, coughshortcough, fat and slim. Whoots!

10. What song will they play during your funeral?
[Before the previous song is over, I wanna say that this question is exciting. LOL]
Radios In Heaven - Plain White T's

Ooo! People do, on my birthday every year -twirls- Now I gotta keep my eye open next June. lol.

13. How do you make yourself happy?
It's Not Over - Secondhand Serenade
Check out its lyrics. So sad - blaming yourself, crying, feeling the pain, and falling apart. I guess, either I'm never happy, or I listen to sad songs to make myself happy? O.o

19. What is your enemy's theme song?
Gallery - Mario Vazquez
A song of jealousy and seeing the girl you love with another guy with money (what she wants). So sad. But wait, why should I be sad when this is my enemy's song? lol. I should be overjoyed.

Okay, that's sick. lol.
Again, who's my enemy? lol.

20. What's your personality like?
The Way I Are - Timbaland
OHH. Never a better song to end this off. Yes baby, the way I are (;

I gotta say I enjoy this very much. lol. Anticipating what song's gonna start playing when the previous stops rolling.
I'm not gonna tag anyone to do this. Just do it whenever you like it. lol. And do tell me when you do it, 'cos it's fun to see the unexpected answers.

Taa. Back to FMAH. lol.

Wait, what the hell am I doing here? o.O I'm supposed to be studying. lol.
I have some serious procrastination problem. lol.

I have prooooffs!
I watched 'Never Back Down' and 'Sex and the City' over the past few days. Never Back Down is really really good. Quote from my review written on Friendster:

If you're a martial arts/muay thai, or basically fighting scenes-fan, this is for you. A minimum criteria for a good movie, in my books, is to be engaging. And 'Never Back Down', definitely fits the bill.
What this movie is all about, in a nutshell - is about fighting for your pride, fighting to stand up for yourself, fighting to defend yourself, and fighting to end matters once and for all. Jake, the lead character, does them all, to make up for what happened to his dad, and something really needed - to shut a proud student who titles himself as 'The Best'.
I enjoyed it thoroughly and sat through the whole movie with the time flying. You know how it is when the movie never seems to end after what seems like a few hours - boring movies.Do catch it, it's touching at some point (;

And Sex and the City, well, the title says it all. HA. Actually, not really. lol. It's just about 4 women, some, or most with relationship problems, eg. notenougherhem, insufficient time for each other, marriage, or not kindda thing. It's pretty interesting, how the whole story go throughout, and it got really emotional when it comes to the New Year's Eve part, I feel. Like, so aww, heartwarming. But of course, like any other movies - it's a happy ending. lol.

I watched like a quarter of 'Kungfu Panda'. And really, why do people think that it's a good movie? lol. Good movie's probably 'You Don't Mess With Zohan' - which I may watch it in the theatre with my cousins (:
Smell it, smell it, smell it, now take it. That's for you.
LOL.

And I'll be sure to catch Get Smart too. In theatre or not, I think it's gonna be a hell of a hilarious movie. lol.
[Uhh, did I say that I'm not that all interested in 'The Incredible Hulk'? lol. I'm more looking forward to 'The Dark Knight'. Yeahhh. lol.]

Whoots! Three cheers for sweet reven-, oh wait, wrong, three cheers for Edsmond, I mean. lol. 'Cos I worked 2 days for the Singtel Roadshow! First day with Cecilia and second day with Carrie. lol. Tough tough job - giving out flyers ain't nothing, it's the carrying of the SUPER KUKU bag that kills. lol. Fortunately I made it through, made a couple of new friends and got 140bucks in mah' pocket! Yey. Time to go improve on my wardrobe, I really need. lol.

And omggggggggg - SINGFest is on 2nd/3rd August. I'm dying to go, but heckkkk, it's 300bucks for both days or 150bucks and 200bucks respectively for each day. Simple Plan's friggin' on the first day, together with other kukubands/singers except Melee and LostProphets, lol, while the 2nd day is so much better. The line-up is Jamie Scott o.o, Jason Mraz o.O, OneRepublic O.O, Alicia Keyes o.o, Panic at the Disco o.O and Stacie Orrico o.O and another unknown person. lol. LOOK - it's like 6 well known ones on that day -dies-. IwannagoIwannagoIwannagoIwannago! lol. -islookingforsponsors-, compliment with hugsandkisses from me if desired. /shifty

And gosh. Listen up, this is just on the radio by Shan and Xavier, where they're talking about what's 'man' and what's not, here's what they say as NOT 'man':
- Carrying your girlfriend's bag.
Yes yes Timo? lol. Period. End of discussion :P

Last but the not the least for today's entry - last but the most important and, eh, everything nice. lol.
In alphabetical order: Alicia, Carrie, Cecilia, Clinton, Darryl, Felicia, Flora, Guohua, Ivan, Jeremy, Khadijah, Lishi, Mardiah and Natalie.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I can't help myself but to keep thanking you guys profusely - for the birthday pressie you contributed - HUGO Boss X/Y Cologne -strikesoutthewishlistatthesidebar-. I couldn't believe it, and am SUPER happy to get it. This year has got all the best presents coming in and I appreciate -eachandeveryoneofyou- VERY much, really.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! xD
YEY. I'm probably gonna wear it every Thursday - Formal Day. lol. I was thinking about keeping it 'cos it looks too friggin' nice to use, but I know if I keep it, it'll probably spoil/dry up/become smelly (LOL) the next time I take it out. I'm not gonna waste it. So I'm using it :DD

Oh. Did I say I am VERY happy again? LOL.

It's June 12th, 11 more days to the start of MST. I really wonder if I deserve good grades o.O

Anyways, went to Fernie's house, to, mhmm, supposedly try to get our projects done. But so far, we've been playing more than half the time, righto? lol. Met at 12pm but started the discussion at 5pm and ended about an hour later. lmfao xD IHRO and RWPS. Rawr. I think it's kindda unfair for us - our practical date to be so near to the training dates. Like, we only have a week or so to prepare -everything- after the training day? While other classes have up to a month or so. That IS a whole lot more time to work on. It's not some other straightforward projects I gotta say, this one needs a lot more brainstorming and preparation. Hello - setting up a restaurant, coming up with cocktails/mocktails and practicing mixing them. One week? Come on >.> And to hand in the full report (withgodknowshowmanymillionpartstoit) the following Monday is freakin' crazy. Yeah, deal with it is the answer you're gotta get for trying to push back the deadline.
[/rant]

On a more excitable note - we're so going to Timbre @ -THEARTSHOUSE- after exams and stayover at Fernie's House! lol. I can't wait already. lol. If it's closed again, Imma burn it down and no one's gonna put me behind bars -cough-.

And I've got work at Singtel Fair as a flyer distributor on Saturday and Sunday. Whee! Monehhh! lol. I love distributing flyers. It's just so simple, no target to hit, and fixed pay. lol.
Starting next week, I'll be taking a 1 week break from HEX, probably, and focus 100perc- ohnono, maybe 80% on studying. lol. There has to be time for slacking around house. lol.

*Jumps out of nowhere carrying Spain and Sweden's flags*
GO SPAIN,
Just for you we stay up all night with caffeine.
GO SWEDEN
'Cos we know you can win with tactics so prudent.
Yeyness for randomness. lol. Euro 2008 has started 4-5 days back and what I can say but I'M SAD! 'Cos we didn't subscribe to the channels. Nowadays, money's hard to come by -sigh- Just gotta stay by Soccernet to check out all the news and latest scores! lol.
-hatesportugal- And awrgh. Spain and Sweden just have to be in the same group. Hopefully they're the 2 to go through in their group!

The blog now plays Gavin Degraw's 'In Love With A Girl'. It's definitely a more jumpy song than the previous. Just thought it'd be good to not stick to an emo song for too long. Otherwise we'd all be drawing eyeliners, putting on black nailpolishes and not going for a haircut for the next year. lol. And although the song repeats its title quite a few million times, I still like it pretty much. It's catchy and, mhmm, how do I put it. 'Tis okay. Listen and hopefully you'll know. lol.

Party party party and nights' out is oh-so-enjoyable. And I gotta admit, it has been UBER long since I've had so much fun with my friends (:

Monday, even though it was the SMART training day straight after my birthday, the bad impression of SMART has now been written over by friendly, sociable and cheap-thrill-seeking new batch of recruits. Well that concludes that SMART's reputation was ruined by the Year3s. Must be it. lol.
And to add to the fun and craziness of the training, the night was well-spent at Timbre at the Substation with Fernie, Timothy, Reyern and later joined by Jian An. Previously planned Timbre at the Arts House was, so coincidentally, under renovation (yes, they just have to choose the day we plan to head down for the first time together to close for renovation >.>). So we had to walk, to much reluctancy, from City Hall MRT Station to Raffles Place MRT Station (Timbre @ The Arts House) and back to City Hall and further down to reach Timbre @ The Substation. Brilliant. lol. Thankfully, the ambience and atmosphere set in soon after we settled down in the bar, probably because the night was setting in and we started ordering out food and drinks. Presenting you, Timbre's very own and renowned thin-crust, Four Cheese Pizza! And cocktails I've been -dying- to indulge on, this time round, Sex on the Beach! (:

Love this shot. Heh.

My Sex on the Beach on the left and Fernie's Lychee Martini on the right.

And the tasty-looking angle shot on the pizza (:

The oh-so-smelly and yucky mushroom-stuffed, uhh, CRAP. lmfao xD

Hah. I managed to keep my eyes from reducing to a slit from the playing of cards and the live performance by Michaela. She was on the keyboard while singing. Well, it's pretty okay, her keyboard's a little weird and generic? I don't know how to put it but, well she can pull it off pretty well no matter what. Thank you guys, so much, yet again, for having a mini birthday celebration for me -huggles-. I didn't expect a cake! It was well hidden, good job. lmao xD I can't wait to go back again, either on a Thursday or a Saturday, 'cos Fernie recommended, uhh who? GOODfellows or some band. lol. When are we going back?! lol.
And we headed home at 11.15pm (awrgh, if only we can stay longer, but heck, no one in our clique knows how to drive as yet! darn!) to rush for the last train.

#

Tuesday, the only stay-home day since forever xD Nothing interesting except slacking and procrastinating knowingly. So let's move on. lol.

#

Wednesday, Clique + Class Outing Day!
Lunch was at Changing Appetites!

Cream of Mushroom - Soup of the Day for the Set Lunch!

In view of trying to satisfy Timothy's needs (okay that sounds wrong), Priscilla, Fernie, Timo, Reyern and myself met up earlier at Marina to watch Narnia (yeah, even though I've already watched it, Timo's request is at our service, seeing how he chose us o.O). But due to Reyern having to watch it with his gf some time later and me having seen it already, we decided to change to Sex And The City! We bought the tickets successfully -cough- but wasn't as successful when we were about to enter the theatre. Awrgh. It just wasn't our day 'cos the ticket-checker was the supervisor or something (black shirt one). DAMN. So we were checked - 3 of us made it but 2 didn't >.> Us being so nice, we decided not to watch anything and had a refund. And yesh, I don't think people normally get a refund right? So we were, looking from another angle, lucky. lol.
After wandering a little and hesitating, we decided to go bowling! Whooo! lol. The few of us haven't been bowling individually for quite some time. I thought it'd be a good time for us to coughgetuglycough. Let's see how ugly moments. LOL.

Timo!

Reyern!

Pris!

Mua!

And the hideous one - too hideous to even have a front shoot and a second picture O.o
DON'T KILL ME. LOL!

Was rusty for the first few rolls, but got the gist of it and got 111 points for the second round! Whoots! Occasional playing of occasionally-played sports feels good. If that makes sense /shifty. lol.

And we headed over to Darren's House at YCK for Class Outing - BBQ! His condo is one of the better ones I've seen. Omgosh rich boy. lol. The function room is bigger than my living room + 2 bedrooms. lol! And linked with the function room is a pool table room and a karaoke room (built-in songs - not those that require you to bring your own DVD). It's like o.O''. What's KBox? What's Pooling outside? Kick those away and come to my house! lmfao! No, of course he didn't say that, but I can very well say that on his behalf xD

Family Portrait! :D

And again, we rushed off at 11pm to board the last train. I got the last train (fortunately!) but barely missed the last bus. In the end I walked home from JP. 15 minutes, so it's pretty okay. lol.

#

Thursday, SMART's SP Experience! In another words, slacking day o.O lol. Easy way to get CCA Points (okay, not that I need anymore >.>), but hey, definitely WAY easier to attain. 3 hours of duty, and mhmm, about 0.5 hour of serious work. LOL. Fastforwardddddd!
Night time! Met up with dearest Kukujah, Ceciliathemaid and Aliyoyoyoahyo! lol. We went for dinner and had some delicious food. Yummmehh. Haha. And nono Kukujah. Strictly no Fries - it's so not worth it, do your maths. lol!
Anyways, thanks for having a mini-celebration for my birthday too ((: The SUPERLATE Angel&Mortal Pressie (thanks Peishan, for the wax and mirror! lol!) and the yet-to-arrived pressie that I can't wait. Curse the person who got into an accident with my pressie O.o It's okay, Imma wait patiently. HEH.
Thank you guys! ((:

Haa. What a week, what a week. I need to stop partying, stop going out, stop watching Gossip Girl ('cos I just finished watching Season 1 today! Whoots! Now I'm waiting for September 1st to arrive, bringing Season 2 :D), stop watching movies (luckily there isn't any interesting movie now to catch, except Sex and the City, which Imma wait for it to come on the net. lol.), and generally, stop procrastinating. lol.

Oh oh oh oh to a headlight disco -humstothetuneandheadbangs-I know it's kindda late (nah it's not!), HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Whhoooohoo! lol. That's the last song and second song of the night respectively. Did I say I totally love Headlight Disco?! It's really disco-ish and it just is the perfect song to end the night with'a BLAST! Chanting 'Jenny! Jenny! Jenny!', they granted our wish by singing it just before Headlight Disco. Their live vocals is as good as in the album. They started off slow, but hell did they bring the atmosphere up towards the middle and end. Oops. Did I mention I ENJOYED the concert fully and thoroughly? (: It's one of the better concerts I've been to. Best ever yet is still Linkin' Park ((: Worst? MCR XD
And I met Brandon and Eevin (uhh, no, they don't know each other. lmao) after the concert. lol. Shocking but coincidental. lol.
Complimentary with every ticket is a limited edition poster. Whoot! And we each get a plastic 'RockOn' handsign thingy, those that, yes, you see in Baseball matches and some Basketball matches. lmao.
All this wouldn't be possible without the bunch of friends who helped contribute to this ticket - Fernie, Priscilla, Timothy, Tah Nern, Reyern and Jian An. Thank you guys so much. Love you guys, thanks for the present, it's one of the best I've recevied since years. Awwh.

The first minute of my birthday was spent in my Primary School mate's house, and with my dearest JWPS mates - June (thankyouforofferingyourplace :)), Yixiang, Jimmy, Eng Heng, Kianwee, Kristin, and Xianhuan. Thank you all for turning up for the coughfailedsurprisecough, nevertheless, I enjoyed it, in fact, A LOT (: Mahjong-ing, card-gaming, and everything we fail at doing, like getting high at night with June, dancing. LOL. Thank you guys so much for the chocolate brownie cake. I didn't expect cake lah, I mean, we don't usually do that. And to 'receive' that is nothing short of being honored (: And, don't worry about the forgottenbirthdaycard. -Cough- LOL.

Slept at 3/4am the morning after returning late. And opened my eyes again at noon, where my family celebrated my birthday with me. Whootsie. Thank you my mum for giving birth to me 18 years ago this very day. Sorry for the hard get-out from your stomach. lol. And, frankly speaking, this year's birthday cakes are the BEST.

And I better go now. Long day tomorrow - SMART training from morning till late afternoon, and the few of us (Fernie, Priscilla, Timo, Reyern and Jian An) are going to Timbre at the Arts House tomorrow to chill out (: Imma order the 4 Cheese Pizza and pick on a cocktail to sip on while enjoying the live music from 8plus to 11plus. But we're heading down at 6pm, the moment they open their door to everyone. Hehe. Can't wait. I'm all for it. Whoot!

Once again, thanks EVERYONE who've directly/indirectly make my birthday, quite an awesome one (:

Now listen to me. Plug on your earphone, stuff that earpiece into where it should be, and listen to the blog song - Tonight by FM Static.

And hell I must say. The hands of the clock are turning so fast that I swear one will miss a whole lot of what is out there the moment he blinks. It has been another 10 days or so since my last blog entry. That's zooming fast. Thinking of it, I'm never ever gonna be willing to let go of my blog. I don't know, it's like a whole long list of history of part of my life. No matter how inactive it may get, I'll try to blog at least 3 times per month. lol. Yessss, it's only 3, but I see no point in every day blogging about the mundane life of mine? o.O Mundane as it is, if I were to blog, they'll all seem as if they never exist. lol.

Today was supposed to be TBR presentation. Just as I was reaching the ground floor of my block, Priscilla called and informed about the cancelling of lesson. Like wooahh. I wasn't sure if I was happy or irritated for a second. lol. Happy as it means that we'll have more time to make it even better cougheventhoughitalreadyisanexcellentpieceofworkcough, and irritated 'cos I woke up early for nothing. How do I feel now? Duh. Happy of course. lol. Even though it will mean that I'll have to dress formally for consecutively 3 days next week (MICE on tuesday, TBR on wednesday, tradition Formal Thursday). But heyyy, I can't wait to present for TBR. I think it's one of the better-done projects we've had. We're gonna pwn the class. Whoot! lol.
And we have a guideline that says we have to give a pat on our back and then ourselves a treat after every project. Was supposed to go down to PitStop after TBR today, but it's rescheduled to next week. lol. I guess we can celebrate the end of 2 projects then - MICE and TBR together. Sounds like a money-saving plan. Heh.

Okay. I have a new addiction, omg. lol. Guess what.
You know you love me. xoxo Gossip Girl.
Familiar familiar familiar? lol. Yes, it's called Gossip Girl. It's not as bimbotic as it may sound. lol. Although I highly doubt anyone has caught that show 'cos it was just released in the US back in September last year I think. It's still trying to find its way to Singapore, maybe. lol. The genre is something like Desperate Housewives, you know, except that this is set in the scene of College, story revolving around teenagers, not as dark as some parts of Desperate Housewives. lol. Watch it, people. Watch and we can talk about it together! Whoots! Linky.
Totally love Serena. Blair is a biatch. lmao xD I'm a Dan and Serena shipper! Haha. Watttchhh!
I'm up to episode 6 already and am going fast. lol.

I have a thought the other day, about what my future will look like.
Mhmm, and I sort of listed out a number of aspirations in my head. And imagining if they really happen. Omg o.O
I want to be in a band, playing drums and writing songs. It's like the best dream ever - having a concert, recording albums, touring in private planes and limos o.O Lifestyle of the rich and famous man. lol. Or heck, just being in the Music Industry is good enough. Music is my air. lol.
I want to be a Bartender. I just got this sudden urge of aspiring to become a Bartender. I really have no idea why, I have zero percent of knowledge about the ingredients, the mixing, the martinis vodka eggnog and whatnots. lol. But I want to have my own bar, my own area to mix the ingredients and call it Extra Edsmond Effy. Uhh. Okay.
I want to be a Chef. It's uber cool isn't it?! I just love food (although lishi beats me to it). No but really, just the arrangement, the presentation of the food (even though it almost always is of small quantity) on the plate is oh-so-appealing. Again, I have no tad bit of background with this, if we don't count co-cooking with my sister here and there at times. lol.
I want to be a hotelier/resort manager. Well yeah. Here it is. This is the most practical and the only practical one >.> But of the 4 listed, I think this is the least desired. Haha. But heck, at least it's still something I like, although not as much as the other 3, you know. Hotelier, well, that's one of the reasons I'm here in this course. I'm not here to become some tour agents, tour guides or something. lol. Those are boring, at least to me. I don't know why I'd like to work in the hotel - it's probably the environment, the ambience. Previously I aimed to work in Grand Hyatt, now, more of Four Seasons or Raffles. Heh. Resorts, why. Simply because of the tranquility, the beach, the scenic views I'm always going to look at while working. /flies. Banyan Tree, certainly. lol.

You know, when I was young, I've always wanted to be a businessman. I don't know, it's not Police, it's not Fireman, it's not Lawyer, it's not Doctor - but businessman. Nooo ideeaaa -shrugs- But till today, I still, of course, like to be that. lol. It's just a matter of what kind of business huh. lol.

I'm tired. But will most probably still catch the Finals of American Idol later. Heard David Archuleta 'won in all the 3 songs' they sang. Awrgh. GO DAVID COOK!

I'm addict- I'm addict- I'm addicted to..

A WHOLE LOT of things recently. lol.

I'm addicted to chocolates.
I'm addicted to playing Bridge - viwawa or physical tangible card playing. lol.
I'm addicted to listening to oldies (songs in the 1990s near 2000)
I'm addicted to Colby Caillat (omgod. Like seriously? I've listened to her album for about 40 times now - reallehh. You can so look at the play count in my Itunes. It's the first time I'm so addicted to an album. lol)
I'm addicted to David Cook's Always Be My Baby.
I'm addicted to Survivor (and my sister and I laughed and almost tore down the house yesterday while watching it - you'll know if you've watched it. lol)
I'm addicted to watching movies (i'm gonna watch What Happens in Vegas shortly. lol)
I'm addicted to HEX (Harry Potter Site. lol)
I'm addicted to slacking and procrastinating. Oops.

And I miss.

I miss the times back in Primary School. June, Yixiang, Jimmy, Kristin, Sarrah, Xianhuan, and Engheng. Those memories are priceless. Playing iceman after school. Staying back in school and be a kpo, hanging out until the end of the afternoon session - where we hid behind the canteen when they were having flag-raising ceremony. Playing basketball - and borrowing basketball from Miss Wong each and every time we didn't have one to play with. Doing Prefect duty at the ram/canteen, opening up the pail top for the students to drop their dishes. Slacking during the duties, sitting under the spiral staircase to play Truth or Dare. Being scandalous here and there, having gray baby. Joining the same CCAs together - Chinese Club, English Club. Attending Higher MT lessons together. 'Ning ke cao cu, bu xu fang guo', I'll always remember that (: And we'll be there copying the whole chunk of comprehension passage down to answer the question. lol. Heading down to the library to play the computer games, play super stupid games like who will your wife be when you grow up, which car brand will you own, how many children will you have etc. It's freaking dumb, but I can't deny it's too fun to stop. Crysanthemum tea, Green tea etc. Memories would so gush into my head nowadays when drinking them.

I miss the times back in Secondary School. 1A and 2A have to be the best of times. The whole class was SO bonded I miss it so. We went for detention HAPPILY together. We were the worst disciplined express class all times. We were so psyched when we were punished. Class Chairperson Fitri will go, 'Go under the table now!' None of us will refuse to. It was a punishment to us by our class mentor - to go under the table during changeovers, to refrain us from being noisy and rowdy. But who cared. We were so excited and thrilled to do all those punishments. Those were good+bad memories fused together. Aww. Standing in front of the class, writing names on the whiteboard, no one cared whether or not they were gonna get punished. It was frustrating, I admit it, but thinking back now, nothing like frustrating. More like cute. lol.
I remembered Joanne going for the SC interview too right? lol. Interview has always been a no-no for me. But it was great to see a relatively familiar face during the interview - Htein Lin. lol. 'Hey, your basketball junior'. lol. It was sad when the most bonded class separated by the streaming of classes. I still believe I made the right choice of going into 4B instead of 4A. It's definitely of more fun than being in nerdy 4A. lol. It was fun bitching with Jo, Andrea and Eevin. It was fun having our own mini concert with Jo being our supporter. lol. It was fun staying back in school playing soccer with the ex-AKA boys. lol. It was fun secretly eating in class - passing of cans and cans of pringles around. And I remembered Eevin bringing one whole bar of Cadbury Triple -something- flavor to school - I can't believe the 3 of us finished the whole bar during the recess period. lol.
And basically SC was my life in school. I miss doing morning traffic duties. I miss pulling flag. I miss sitting down in the concourse early in the morning with hongxiang - crapping all the way. lol. Hongxiang, I'll never forget it's you who taught me to be this crappy today. It's you that there is me. lol. You specifically told me 'ah, your brain must turn fast'. lol. And it was in a bus, we were heading somewhere (I forgot where, a camp or something. lol). And I remember you will 'yun che'. lol. I miss skipping reading periods. I miss checking people's attire and not get checked myself. lol. I miss the unspoken privileges we got. I miss the camps, the events we have. All the way from Sec1 to Sec4 we stood by each other so much. With David Cook's Always Be My Baby playing to my ears now, I so feel like tearing. lol. Shakila, Andrea, Hongxiang, Huadong and Beeping. Together with Ms Wong, we rockk! :D
Really, I've been thinking and I have to say I miss you guys. I'm so glad to meet Hongxiang the other day. Happy Birthday again (:

I remembered a lecturer or someone told us 'Poly's gonna be the BEST time of your life'. I used to believe it. But as time goes by, I start to feel otherwise. Is it because we've all grown up, we all have different thoughts now. We all start to think more for ourselves now rather than being there for our friends. And our ego start to grow at an alarming rate. It feels like people are getting more and more influenced by peers. Where have all the years of education gone to? Where have all the 'have your own opinion' gone to? It's saddening how people are being shadowed by the fugly side of people. They listen to what people say and believe it. People no longer know how to view things based on their own eyes. And how people survive here is by sucking up. What has the world turn into : If I know we'd all grow up to this, I'd rather stay young and innocent and be happy. I'm just waiting to get my butt out now with a good cert.
Ultimately we have to get over it. It's just life. I'm hanging on (:

Yey. Yesterday was a fun day, despite having a super long day (although we only have a 2-hour tutorial). lol.

Once again, for don'tknowhowmanydaysconsecutively -cough- I am late for class. lol. I don't know, I just can't get up on time anymore! lol. I'll snooze the clock again and again it can go to an hour long. Okay, I admiiittt it, an hour of snoozing the alarm clock is super n-o-r-m-a-l. lol. Anyhow, I still managed to reach the classroom. lol. Let's fastforward to after the tutorial! lmao.

Our RWPS group (we chose the museum question) decided to head down to the museums (Arts Museum and Asian Civilisation Museum) because we are naturally interested in museums. Yeahhh. Right real. lol. But no, it's quite fun and enriching. Haha. We waited for PJ to finish her mentoring program before heading down at about 2pm. And during the 2 hours interval, Fernie, Pris, Jian An and I played cardds! lol. Now all our breaks are cards cards and cards. lol. I'm addicted to Bridge man. Haha. And I can't believe JA said cards ain't his cuppa tea. I DON'T BELIEVE, liar! lol.
Then PJ came, we went down to Raffle Place for Asian Civilisation Museum first. We got in for free 'cos Singapore Polytechnic is a member of them or something, and yey. We don't even need to pay a little. It's great, but people just aren't going down to museums. And that is why we are doing this project. Yes yes. lol. I flipped through the Visitor's Guide and was shocked to find out that we can actually take a couple of flashes. Haha. Not literally, we can take pictures but not with flashes. And so I grabbed Fernie's camera and the photo-taking started. Though not a lot, pity. lol.

To kick off the pictures, Imma show the 2 pictures that I like the most from the museum!

Cooool huh (:

This is nice too ^^ Notessss.

Some, uhh, words -cough-

Some ear dress. CRAZY. Your ear's gonna drop with this on.

Swords! Oooooo.

And a seriously opposing picture.

Yeah, that's all for the pictures. And just when we were about to go for lunch+dinner, we stumbled across a games room! lol! There are like jigsaw puzzles, weird weird mirrors, and something like a fei ji qi! So Timothy, Pris, Fernie and myself each grabbed a seat (coughleavingPJoutsideofthegamecough) and started cheap-thrilling. LOL. It may appear to be a simple game, but you NEVER know how unlucky you can get. SERIOUSLY - right Fernie? HAHA. Good job to Timothy for coming over to my alliance man! You made the right choice. Muhahah! We played just one round - and it lasted for half an hour or so. You just keep on going back to your 'home' because someone landed on the same box. lol. Damn funny. Definitely had fun. Heh. *Goes to find fei ji qi to bring it to school* LOL. Our breaks will never be the same. -Cough-
And because of that, we didn't have time to visit the Arts Museum. lol. So we decided to just have out lunch+dinner. And because The Asian Civilisation Museum is so near to Minds' Cafe (just opposite), we thought of going to PitStop! lol! Projects turn to an outing. YEY. How cool. lol.

My food, Sambal Chicken:

As always, the dinosaur card game - grabbing of the bones one is the funniest and most 'high' one. lol. Giza is pretty nice too. We gotta go back soon ^^

**

Okay, I just watched 'Over Her Dead Body' 2 days back and '21' this morning. Both are pretty above average rated movies I think. Not bad *nods* Now I am waiting for Made in Honor and What Happens in Vegas to come out. Heh.

**

I hate it when dramas happen. Okay. I don't -hate- it, in fact, I like it a little, 'cos it's interesting. Yeah I'm sick like that. Duh.

It's even more sick when people think that you're selfish. If you're not selfish, you'll not be complaining about people being selfish, you'll compromise without a sound. But it doesn't make sense when you say someone is selfish and you, out there, complaining things and things. People don't understand the meaning of 'sacrificing one rather than sacrifice everyone'. If you can't get a place in a group, live with it. It's irritating me so.

I'm starting to feel that everyone is trying to use 'it's the world out there!' as reasons nowadays. Oh, a better word for 'reasons' is 'excuses'. It's quite stupid to say that, really. You're right. It's the world OUT THERE - it's not the world RIGHT NOW. If we can prevent those stupid things from happening from not doing what the world is doing out there, why not? If you want to train someone for the world out there, you might as well starting training people in their primary school days or something? It doesn't make sense. It's really really, come to think of it - an EXCUSE.

And some people are just bribing bribing AND bribing to an addict now. YUCKS man. YUCKS. You are doing all this openly. Bribing people openly. I mean, it's easy to see - how much you are enjoying doing this shit stuff. It's obviously wrong to do all this bribing, let alone openly. Don't you ever stop and think what you're doing? :/ Those rice that you've eaten have gone to a waste waste waste. And that is one of the big big reason I have NO respect for you. Eeks. If only I can give you one tight slap. But of course I'd have to sacrifice dirtying my hands.

CRAP - the moment you said 'yeah, since DTRM will be very busy this year too.', I was like 'Okkkayy, if that's the reason you give me, we shall SEE.'. And now, as thought and forseen, therrreeeee. Invalid reason that is. It's bullshit from the start lah, come'on. Each minute my respect for you is dropping. And it's down to negative 1 now. It's disgusting disgusting disgusting.
And things are happening. I'm glad god made me do the right thing man.

I can't wait for tuesday's gathering (:

**

On a lighter note, a very Happy Birthday to my sister Sharon! (: BADY! Haha. What, 6 years old this year? HEHE. Kiddin'. Happy Birthday!! (:

And to Jianle too. Heh.
Congrats on your Chelsea's progress. Idiot. Both of them are Chelsea fans, why am I wishing them? *Kills* lol.

Lastly, Happy Labor Day! (:

I miss him already :((

2008-04-21T23:08:00.002+08:00

Should I say I've had enough? Or what? I really don't know >.>

So, school have arrived and gone for a week. Drama is currently unfolding in our class, not to deny. It has to do with the groupings. It alllllllll started off when we tried to satisfy everyone, tried to please everyone and compromise, ourselves, so as to do up the groupings particularly for IHRO as fairly as possible. You know, you'd have thought what a few of us are trying to do will be enough to keep everyone shut and just deal with it - since you're in no position or whatsoever to even voice out to want to change group. It's like, what we've discussed, you didn't even prove yourself worthy last year to be in a better group, and here you are, being an apparent weaker one, trying to push yourself into a group you desire. It's just, eekk. Here we are caring for your feelings and risking our grades, but obviously it wasn't really seen and appreciated. So seriously? I've had enough of -feeling bad- for people, I should probably start looking at me, myself and I only. If you don't want to take care of yourself, so be it. Just please, don't come bother our border and cause disruptions. The re-drawing shouldn't have taken place at all. It is because of persuasions and stern looks. Frankly speaking, even though I've definitely persuaded people into doing something in a way or another, thinking back, persuasions never really work out well. I shouldn't and will never believe in persuasions much. In fact, after recent happenings, I find persuasions disgusting. It's too fake. In the end, even if things are done, it was NEVER done willingly and happily. What's the point? We'll still turn back and walk the return route, to where we came from. So I say, let's just form the group we want. People who don't have a group will just form a group - too bad man.

Thanks to my brain for always not working when I most need it. It's just brain-dead when it comes to thinking. And that is why I can't express myself fully when I have to. And people just bite my head off 'cos I don't know what to say to defend myself. I can't remember what I had in mind before the conversation, I just sat and listened. I can only blame myself for the stupidity and lousy brain of mine. But anyhow, let's just clear this once and for all, 'cos it's just like a suckerfish that's stuck to you. It's stuck on you, it's not pain, but you want to get it off 'cos it's annoying.
Yes to having to take responsibilities. Yes to having to adapt to the society. But thinking back, really, I didn't flip because of the responsibilities shoved onto me. In fact, I was trying to explain, Fel knows, I didn't even get angry on anyone when the incident happened. Now I've think, what really made snapped was the sms! Only from that I got so boiled. Everything is fine. Just that one sentence kills it all. Actually, I really don't care whether you believe it or not, but what I want is just to get it off my chest, 'cos it sucks for the truth to just be within and the rest to view it on the surface. YAH - I know it wasn't meant to be. Like duh. It just sucks to be viewed as someone who doesn't accept responsibilities, you know. Again, no one is obliged to take in what I've written. I just need a space to get it off. And if you feel that I shouldn't be telling the world everything, maybe you can just close the window 'cos it's after all a blog.

Today's just so, mixed emotions : June, Xianhuan, Kianwee and myself went to NUH to visit Mr Roslan, our primary school teacher. Some time ago, we already got a message saying he's ill and was resting at home. But we didn't know what exactly is he suffering from. So as time goes by, until last Saturday - we got another message saying his condition was critical, you know, and is now in the hospital. Tons of people were then noticed. It's just so nice to see everyone throwing aside their busy schedules and the 'unfamiliarity' to visit Mr Roslan.
Upon reaching his ward, I was shoockkkedd. From what we heard, it's the 3rd stage of cancer. It's just, mhmm, I don't know. I'm speechless. I just feel so, hurt? So depressed for him. Memories of him teasing us, 'massaging' Jingquan's back and all, with his fat chubby face - those are just priceless. Compared to him now - GREAT loss in weight and hair, and he can't even speak now. His glasses half falling off his nose. It's just, mhmm, I'll start frowning when I see him. It's very, very sour :(
It's much worse than what I imagined. I thought he could still talk, I thought he will be like 'Hah. Don't worry. I'll be fine (:' kindda thing. But nooo. It's the total opposite. He even has difficulty in breathing. He's like breathing in SO hard every breath. It's a sad scene. Ah my heart is so heavy now. Awrgh.
I pray for a miracle to happen and Mr Roslan to recover from the 3rd stage cancer. I know there's still a slight chance, but a chance is a chance. *Crosses fingers* I believe he hasn't done anything bad to deserve this :(

Second year. Definitely not a year to mess around. All the credit units are '4', except I think RWPS and GEMS? Just off the top of my head, not sure if it's RWPS that is of credit unit '3'. Whatever. I just know there is a -chance- to get full GPA score. Gung-ho year man. I'm sorry but I'm trying to go on full steam here on all the projects. Gotta start scoring all 'A's for the projects! I'm definitely looking forward to working with my new groupings. It'd be interesting *nods*.

Generally, the lecturers for all the modules so far have been pretty acceptable. They're all pretty good in fact. Not gonna talk on all the first lessons of the different modules here 'cos it'll probably bore everyone else. But what we're taking this sem and the respective lecturers are:
- Financial Management and Accounting for Hospitality (I find it funny. DBF takes FA. DBA takes FMA. DTRM takes FMAH. lol. Okay. Not funny.)
- Tourist Behavior Research (Our lecturer cum tutor Wang Peck Hoon is damn funny. Godddd, her laughter is super 'contagious'. Not the contagious contagious, but it makes you wanna laugh 'cos her laughter is funny. Uhh, makes sense? lol.)
- Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions (Whoo! Sounds exciting right. My fooot. lol. Pluuusss - the lecturer is DAMN SEETOH-alike! OMG. The jokes are cold like coco-crunch! YAH.)
- Introduction to Hotel and Resort Operations (Pretty much like PTH. lol. Yey Ms Chen is our lecturer. lol.)
- Report Writing and Presentation Skills (Our tutor is damn good. Haha! Jansen Lim. It's cool that he is a writer too.)
- Business Law (Patricia Yap is whoo! lol. She's our PTN too, IF unmistaken.)
- GEMS: Human Diseases (Still unsure of how the lecturer will be. Better be good and not break the good-lecturers-trend. lol.)

Some modules are pretty dry. Hopefully we'll not suffer from dehydration at end sem. lol.
Anyway, somehow, getting back to meeting DTRM01 is kindda, fun and 'at home'? After all, I still miss them (: Cliques are still cliques, friends are still friends. I'm glad we need not change classes. We gotta start doing up designs for class tee man. I'm gonna kill people if we only start doing after 3 terms have past, again. lol.

Anyways, first day of school made me nervous even though we're still DTRM01. But the modules change too much that we had to adapt to it. I felt like a new student, first day in secondary school. lmao. A lot of unfamiliar faces, unfamiliar subjects, heh. But we had the similar identity that soothes everything - Orange Fac Tee! Whoo! Bright bright mandarin oranges walking everywhere in SB. Whoohoo! ((: It was a long day - 10am to 5pm, an hour break, only. Suckkks. And worse today. 9am to 5pm, an hour break, only. Poor thing us!
But heh. Don't be jealous. DTRM01 need not go to school tomorrow 'cos the TBR tutorial is cancelled! WHOO! It's time to sleep till I drop. *Cough*.
No but seriously, Wednesdays and Saturdays will be mugging days for me. I'll go through what I've learnt in the past 2-3 days. Do all tutorials, do up notes and prepare for exams way before time! Oh, I -think- we only have 2-3 modules that have examinations (all others are ICA modules!), so not only will I need to prepare for exams, I'm so gonna start on projects way before time too! Or at least I'll try. LOL.
If I mug on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the whole Sunday will be a break! lol. Mhmm, sounds like a plan!

GPA 4.0 - Don't run, I'm trying to catch you. lol.

I so wanna go to The Click Five : But I'm pooooorr.

FOP was one big success!

Monday, the day that we were all pretty lost
Morning's briefing with the facilitators and coordinators was a mess. We should have used a bigger class to brief the facilitators. lol. But it's okay, at least things were still done.
Then it was registration. Everyone was lost at first - what do we do, where do we stand, how do we gather our class? lol. But as the first few was told what to do, the rest followed and soon, it was great. Shockingly, the students were brought into the MLTs REALLY fast O.o I was shocked till I drop. Okay, no link, but yeah. lol. Good job, everyone! Mahean was like 'where is everybody?' right? lol. Damn funny. I was thinking it was because of the accident at CCK MRT, is it? And that caused the crowd to slow down and not come all at once.
Ice-Breaking and Station Games appeared to be okay, except that Events Team had to run around a lot - to care about the classes in the MLTs and the games equipment. Thank you guys. All you 3 were wonderful in coping that *huggles*. The whole day's programme flow was pretty on time, except a little drag on the first station games group. But it's a negligible error, who cares. lol. And thanks the weather! Whoo! Thanks Carrie for asking your good friend to come another day! lol! Although wet weather programme was prepared, it is always good to be in our comfort zone and not move around too much. lol.

Tuesday, the day that DTRM rocked the SPCC *cough*
I'm sorry to say but your action caused us to do some extra work in the morning >.> And our plan was not carried out because of that. Ahh, but it's okay. I still respect you despite all the slackings and errors we've made and we're still together as one! Ssshh, SOMEONE doesn't know (;
So again, morning was a little dragged and messed up. It's always like this, but as we go on, we got the gist of it and worked more smoothly. Yey. The emcees, sorry to be frank here, but were not really good. It wasn't really professional of them, at times, and they just didn't control the games well : Sorry. But what is done is done. I'll probably just forget all about it *nods*. Again, thanks Events Team for tying up all the loose knots.
Pageant Games were all pretty good, except the question and answer one. Anyhhooowww, DTRM ROCKKKED the Convention Centre! HAHA. Whooo! We are the Spartans! Small in size but big in strength! Heh. And we won the Pageant! Whhhee!

Wednesday, the day that things went on pretty smoothly
It's not because Fel wasn't there, it's because Wednesday was nothing much. lol. We only had to issue out Flag Day items in the Conference Room. It was a merry-go-round in the room. lol. But yeah, really nothing much xD I don't even know what to blog about.

Thursday, the day that I was super shag
lol. Not only did I jinx myself by having to wake up at 6 plus, I was also down with a freaking running nose! I was turned into Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. lol. Thanks Cecilia, Alicia, and Felicia for a packet of tissue from each of you. lol xD I hope I didn't miss out anyone. lol. Sorry if I didn't do much this day, I understand that everyone has their ill days and they still do their work, but, uhh, it's really super super flowy today >.> I need to like stop work every half a minute to stop the flow. *Rolls eyes* Chop off my nose please. lol.
Reported to school at 7.30am to issue out items for absentees! Awrgh. Why do you guys have to be absent?! Irritating. lol. Then Mr Caleb treated us McDonalds. Haha. And Vivian just had to try her McGriddles, or McGreedy *cough*. Flora and I had the classics - Hotcake. lol.
Then we slacked at staff room area room till 11am.
The whole money-counting process was a little messy at first. But specialization smoothen things out. HAHA. That is why businesses look for work specialization, although this system will have side-effects like getting bored of their specializati- oh okay. I'll stop. lol xD
Towards the end, we were bored out waiting for the slow classes to come *erhem* we played BINGO. lmao! Lishi was jinxed by me and lost the first 2 games. lol!

After everything, we went to the Freshmen Party Live @ Concourse. It was bboorriiinngg to hell. lol. Only zi-highing all the way, billie-blanja-ing Lishi and Zhengyi, and attempting too, to Carrie and Zhizhong but failed. lol. But the food was pretty good! Haha. I like the VIP food - the cakes and pastries. Heh. Maybe I was too hungry to even care. lol. Some random people asked me, 'who are the VIPs?'. I was like 'Uuhhhhh, NOBODY!' HAHAHA. lol.
Eventually we went back at about eight eight plus I think. lol. If not for my stupid nose, I wouldn't have mind to stay for the real disco night >.>
SB FOC Disco Night is da'best can!

I just wanna thank everyone SO much.

Organising Committee alias DOC (Diploma in Organising Committee)
ONE we are DOC!
TWO we are sai kang king!
THREE we are very tall (coughcarriecough)!
FOUR more more more!
HAHAH.

Chairperson - Felicia: Alright, no more pea-brain for you. HAHA. We've been through so much. No one knows. But we know we rock! From the meeting we had at Burger King after the birthday celebration in town to the endless meetings we had in the clubhouse to the seemingly-never-ending phone calls we had at night, we've finally accomplished our goal - FOP being a success. Many sacrifices you've made, many times we've had our different point of views, but at the end of the day, I still believe in you and you still rock ((:

Treasurer/Secretary - Khadijah: It isn't easy to be a treasurer, and a secretary. But you've pulled it off pretty well. I mean well for you at times, you know. You're a person who sucks in most of the suckish things, and I admire you for that. If it's for me, I couldn't have done it. Future PRO, you rock!

Events Team - Lishi, Carrie and Jordan: YOU GUYS ROCK. You are our left and right hand, and you guys have done SOO good for all the days, all the preparations. It isn't the easiest thing to plan all the station games, the routes and forseeing all the screwups that are gonna happen during the event. You guys have planned it so well it seemed that nothing could go wrong. Putting Events with you guys sure give us a peace of a mind. I just can't express how much I appreciate you guys for together making FOP a success (:

Logistics Team - Clinton, Natalie and Darryl: Thank you for being there to open the tutorial rooms for the classes. Logistics isn't the best department to be in, but you guys have done well in it and I'll never ever overlook all of you. Thanks for staying over and preparing all the station games equipment. And I know the equipment don't come easy, thanks for buying them over a couple of days.

Sponsorship Team - Alicia, Jocelyn and Vivian: You want to know what I really think of THIS sponsorship team? - ZAI. At first it didn't show, but towards the end, I was REAL proud to have you guys in the sponsorship team. You helped us save a lot of money - to get all the pens/post-it etc. A lot of vouchers too. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many sponsors gotten for the event. Thank you guys for the hardwork. ROCKS.

Publications Team - Cecilia, Flora, Justina: The tshirt designs are pretty pretty (: One thing though - FOC Publications Team's SHIRTS ARE BETTER! HAHAHAH! :P Kiddin'. lol! But really, good job on all the designs. Banner design - it doesn't look as good in the computer, but when it was printed out, whooza. Fantastic! (: Proudly hung on the SB Foyer, it's big and niiccee. And thanks Cecilia for settling the quotations. It was one big trouble but you've still done it, thank you so much!

TO ALL OF YOU from DOC:
It has been, what, 2 months since this 15 of us have met each other and started working together. From don't know to have seen you before in school to HAHAHAHA and teasing each other. What more can I ask for. A crazy bunch of people, 15 of us who have almost the same frequency - is it just coincidence or what. I can't bear to leave :
I'm sorry that at some point of time, I've snapped. Hope you guys understand my meanings. *Huggles* I love all of you.
I've totally gotten used to being with the bunch of you, despite some dramas here and there, staying over in school, going to school EVERY-SINGLE-DAY for meetings. It's the energy, the motivation you guys give to spur everyone on to go to school everyday. I have all the things to say, so emotional, but I don't know how to pen it down.
Just say, I'll miss you guys :(

MLT Heads
Zhenguang: As I've said, you are the most efficient. We're glad we've got the right MLT Heads all in all. Thanks for taking up the spot even with such a short notice. And you know you've done such a fantastic job!
Samantha: Ah! I admire you for being honest. I wouldn't say what, but you know. Even though we couldn't do much about the situation, wow I must say, thank you for telling me. Now I know what people are actually. And you've got the most number of facilitators/classes under you. Good job being able to cope with it single-handedly. Thank you!
Nana: Heh. Thank you for always clearing your doubts no matter what. It is good to see people asking questions. This way, you yourself will be clear to lead the others. Even though you're not from DHRMP, you're still okay with it to take charge of it. Thanks!
Kuanhuai: You're probably the more eligible one to choose from (; With you, I don't find any major worries under DTRM facilitators. Everything went on pretty smoothly. Thank you for being so enthu, fellow DTRM01! :P
Mamata: lol. I know I know, you're a hopper! lol. DFI, DBA, DBF, just not DAC. lol. Thanks for being so high, being so clear-minded to deal with 3 different courses! Even though coughsomeonealwaysgetsmisledbytheotherscough, but you're still great!
Weirong: lmao xD Blur queen. You've showed that you can NOT be blur. Haha! Well done, girl! Haha. I know you have to deal with a tough soul *cough*, and you've done it well. HAHA.

Facilitators
Thank you for volunteering, people. It's not something you must do. Thanks! All of you have done a good job leading a class over the past 4 days. Contacting them, sms-ing them, calling them to tell them the changes, the details, the everything. Thanks, seriously. Great job, no lost souls found at the end of the day. Whoo!

Coordinators
I've said this before but no harm mentioning it again. Thank you the few of you who accepted to help even with such short notice. No more than 24 hours before. It's much appreciated. Without you guys, we'd have to work double hard, do extra the work. You guys make up an important portion of the success of FOP. Thanks for being station masters, saikang kings and queens, ushering, and tons more work. Salute to people who didn't complain a bit man (:

I just wanna say, Felicia, we succeeded and we rocked this. Whoo! lol.

After explaining so much, after letting my sms bills go kaboom for a little more, it still didn't make a difference.
I mean, I really AM speechless dude. Avoiding questions here there everywhere. A leader. Ha. A leader who doesn't even care. A leader who will not even be there for your subordinates when they need your help, your guidance. Do you call that a leader? And that is why I wanted so much to work in a place where it is so goddamn employee-orientated. I feel so freaking sick now. Really. A person who doesn't even look at everything. A person who doesn't give everyone a chance to shine. A person who is so straight to just keep going back to a person. You might as well throw the rest of the people away and say off you go! You're not needed here. A person who doesn't recognise the person right smack in front of you. A person who favors. A person who favors openly. A person who favors openly and still enjoy what is said. I can stand until today, the very end of the academic year, I bow in front of the mirror so that I can bow to myself and say 'Edsmond, you did a wonderful job.'
Even after telling you that what you've done is blah blah blah, you ignored it just because you think you are superior. 'Cos you still think what you did is fucking right and need not a civilian to tell you what to do. You don't even feel how your employees feel. You don't even know how they feel when they're left out. I feel for them, seriously. Yes let's face it, it's the world out there. But hello, let's face it too. You're now in the world where you're trying to train someone up for it. You're not using someone just because he or she can complete the job for you and you can stand up, smack your butt clear off the dirt and leave the place with your face looking up proudly and say 'my students can do it'. Is it my studentS or my student - fullstop?

If this is my fault, shouldn't it be YOUR fault? It makes sense. Listen. You asked me to do a job. I pass it down to someone to do the job because I can't split myself into 2. So the person I delegated the job to did it wrongly. My fault. So if I did it wrongly, shouldn't it be the person above me that is in the wrong? It makes so much sense that I know you will think that no it doesn't make sense and it's still my fault. Yey I'm right. Thanks.

I know you would say that. A person with common sense would expect that. But don't you think that is totally different? It's because you didn't tell them what they need to do. I DID. I DIDDDD. Oh my goodness. Thinking it all over again makes my blood and my brain juices boil.
It's funny how you said you know me. It really is. I didn't know if I should laugh or I should be pleased to say wow people know me. Know me. Hah. I don't wanna sound crude here so let's so jump.

I had so much fun. Until when things start to happen. When all the things came flushing in and when it seems like when all the things are arrowed towards you, you'll just think, mhmm, maybe it's the right time now.
I know we all will stand up for ourselves. So let's just stop asap. It'll never end even if we go on. It's normal that we stand up for ourselves. Yes it is.

How I miss Miss Wong and her wonderbrain. THAT, is the kind of leader I'm willing to die for.
I'll miss although I'll not be.

Omg I bathed, like finally. *Cough* Yes Natalie? lol.

FOC ended. Whoo! :D
It was pretty fun, and surely crazy. lol.
Thanks everyone for the work, it was great working with you guys :D I guess we were lucky to have you guys pulled in!

Day 1 was traditionally a little drier and more boring, 'cos of ice-breaking, bondings, thinking of cheers/flag-making. Plus I think it rained a little huh? Maybe that's because why people were a little moodier. Or maybe it's just me. *Cough* lol.
Nightwalk was o-m-f-g-ing tired >.> lol. Omgosh. Lishi and I were in the tunnel all the way when we were supposed to be outside. lmao. How can we miss out having fun scaring people. lol! Okay well maybe because Lishi went in 'cos Zhengyi's in there too. LOL. Anyways, yah! Towards the end - I almost died and died-ed 'cos of tiredness and muscles-aching. Totally felt like I was about to break into a million pieces. lol. I have totally NO idea why my leg muscles ache like hell. I didn't even do like vigorous activities O.o
But it was good though, 'cos everything ended and things cleared up by about 6 plus. We bathed and moved on to 2nd day. No sleep, bahh! Dig my eyes out.

Day 2 was games and games. Let's skip the games since I'm not in the Events *cough*. GALA Night! Haha. They're so low lah. Maybe the auditorium was too big for them. But anyways, yeah! The advertisements still rock! HAHA. Especially the most entertaining part - Carrie ge-kiang-ing and fell down! lol! See lah! Think your leg long enough. Now you earn yourself a blue-black. lol! Next time be more humble lah! HAHA! Then we had Mass Dance at the end of the GALA Night. The dance was simple yet fun and crazy. lol! Next time we see each other in school, we should so dance! HAHA!
Then next came my favorite part of the camp - Disco Night! Even though there was no disco, but it still rocked. Whoo! It was like real clubbing, with people forming a circle and breakdancer, Jonathan showing off his talents. It's MADNESS. It's so enjoyable watching him break his dance. WHOO. Way to go, Jonathan! D-T-R-M! D-T-R-M! lol. Well what can we say. DTRM just got talents everywhere. lol. Shame it was so short! Bloody hell. It was so fun looking at people jumping to the songs. lol. Let's go MOS Lollipop 25th April! HAHA.
Then the few of us talked to sleep at the Plaza after the night. But STUPID CARRIE woke us up at 1.30am! lol. I sat up, then waiting for like 5 minutes. No one else moved, then I went back to sleep. LOL. Then again at 2am. What aiyah I very itchy lah. Idiot. lol!

Day 3! Cluster wars, camp song singing (too bad we didn't teach them many cheers), and prize presentation! Even though MATAs lost, I'm still proud of them *nods*. Shaun and Mamata pwns! I think they worked SO freaking hard to get MATAs moving. You both rock! Haha. Yey to Security for winning Best Group and, uhh, what was that? Most Creative? I think so. lol. YEY MAMATA! BOOOMM! lol!
Finale was great. Water booommbbs! lol. Although the Shengyuan having revenge for the campers part isn't. LOL. Didn't see it coming lah! I was still staring at him when he came forward. Damn stupid! lol.
Then photo-taking. Damn spastic can! lol. Taking stupid fugly pictures, pictures of the shirt (in height arrangement - coughdon'tknowwhoisinthetop5shortestpeoplehorcough), and jumping pictures! lol. The stupid turtle has no leg to land on, that's why she landed with her butt! CRAZY! lol. I was more than relieved to know she still can walk. lol! She jumped and landed from like the 3rd level. Uhh.

I'm in love xD
Went to Colbie Caillat's showcase yesterday night with my eldest sister (my second sister is so not a fan of her. lol). It's at Timbre @ The Arts House, at Boat Quay. Let's go there ((:

The statue standing just in front of Timbre (:

It's like a bar or something, with a live performance stage in front.

987 Stripped Showcase with COLBIE CAILLAT! Stripped meaning acoustic. They always have showcases like these. It's darn cool.

The list of songs Colbie's gonna sing for the night, pasted on the floor for her reference.

Her seat xD

Guitars for her band and herself. Look at the small guitar at the background. Damn cute. lol.

My twin brother, Shan Wee, 11 to 2- oh, I mean, 4 to 8. lmao. He's the host of 987 Strip every weekend at 4pm.

Muttons! Whoohoo! ROCKS!

And on comes Colbie Caillat and her band!

(My sister is in love with him, lol.)

More of her *flies*

And her on the guitar, singing Bubbly.

She sang 6 songs in all.
1. The Little Things
2. Realize
3. Battle
4. (Not in her album)
5. Bubbly
6. Magic
All of those above are nice, plus Oxygen, Midnight Bottle and Tailor Made. Or maybe all her songs. *Cough*

And when it seems like it couldn't get any better ('cos we were actually back in the queue when going in, but ended up at the FRONT SEAT! *flails*), Muttons were giving out 5 passes to Meet-and-Greet Colbie herself after the showcase *died-ed*, and I got one of them by answering the question of what's her album title. COCO! Whooo! xD Omgomgomg. lol. Plus her album <3! align="left">

And a group photo with other 2 pairs of lucky winners!

And home sweet home, still drooling over her performance xD

Bye Timbre!

And as promise previously, Crepes Day Pictures! lol. The day we cooked at home ((:

Spices! Darn cool looking.

The ingredients to prepare the Roasted Cashew Nuts/Almonds.

That's the 1st dish.
2nd dish, Strawberry Yogurt Cereal (: YUMMY breakfast!

And last but not the least - Seafood Crepes!

(photoshopped. lol)

(photoshopped to make it like the ones they use back then. lol.)

Oh! And spaghetti after that!

Whoot!
Pictures Galore!

Alrighty. That's all for now.
Uhmm, did I mention Colbie Caillat is my love? *Cough*
Oh yes, I did.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Irish! :D

Boohoo. Fridays are left with Survivor. Haha, no more Hell's Kitchen :
"I chose the weaker ones and I hope I can make the most out of you guys." Or something like that. lmao xD How motivational and inspiring. Hah. Virginia IS after all Virginia. Keith was damn funny, "So you chose me because I'm weak?". No. lol.
Heather had Garrett, Rachel and Sara. It's like WOW - dream team. HAHA. They work together so well, unlike coughtheblueteamcough. Haha.
But I must say I like Virginia's decoration more. lol. I was kindda hoping that her 'waterfall' would fail. lol. Foul luck for me. lol.
Moving on to Survivor. lol. Poor Jonathan had to leave camp because of his leg. Gosh. Potentially fatal - sounds so scary xD Anyways, Cirie was DAMN FUNNEH, 'he would fight for it'. lol! I mean, yeah, so true. lol. Jonathan would argue over anything. lol.
Bye bye Chet, like finally. It was finally the time to. Great job. Phew Ozzy :D

Wednesday and Thursday was Dinner&Dance and Enrolment Day (FOE) respectively.
Nah, not gonna go into details. zZZzZ. Just that more or less everything went on smoothly. And FOE was fun :D Except that my tooth ached so much I can't talk much >.> It's dropping, sheesh. I don't wanna go toothless. lol.

Next week's gonna be busy, again >.> Will probably be going to school for 4 days straight, Monday to Thursday. Then after that is FOC. Ahh, you can safely say that I'll be going to school more than I'll be at home for the next month, FOC plus FOP. Whoo. *Jumps off the building*

SIGH. It's the 4th successive match Arsenal only got 1 point from the game. They just can't win it can they. Awrgh. Come'on. Do the double with Premier League and Champions League!

lmao xD Harry Pottttterr. Monday was madness. Went to school for FOC/FOE Meeting + FOP Brochure folding. lol. Let's coughfastforwardthosethingscough. Lunch! Yes lunch! lol. We had it at McDonalds! *Makes Polyjuice Potion with Skin of Boomslang, Knotgrass, Fluxweed, Leeches, Lacewing Flies, Horn of Bicorn and a strand of leg hair of darryl, and drinks it down* - *heehee shakes head*. Hello everybaaddyy, I am Mr Fart Face. lol! Crazily smacking people's backneck and laughing our asses off. lol. And more more more of Harry Potter in the clubhouse. You've got dirt on your nose, by the way, did you know? lol!

*And Hermione succeeded in levitating the feather on the table with Professor Flitwick applauding*

*Hermione paced past the pair with books in her arms*
LOL. It's so fun. lol. Imma do up some researches on more spells, let's duel next time, Vivian and Turtle. *Cough*

Yesterday's MRT journey was >.> Laughters laughters and more laughters! Heeheehee. Though no, it's not me who was laughing.
lol. I got in the train at Boonlay, as usual. And as the train set off, I noticed a woman sitting diagonally across me reading a traditional chinese storybook (those kind where you read from top down). Well that's fine. But what caught my attention was she was reading it ALOUD. Yeah, like primary school kids aloud. I can so hear her from my seat. People were like shooting her an eye already. So okay, the journey continued, and a Malay guy came in at Lakeside and sat beside her. She gave that 'Eeww, what smell is that' expression and looked at the Malay guy. So they looked at each other for a good couple of seconds. After that, the whole cabin, and probably the ones beside it too, suffered. She crazily started laughing like mmadddddd can! And she was saying 'Hahahahah! Xiao si ren le' - laugh until people die (direct translation), and continued 'hahaahahh! aiyooo, zhen de hen hao xiao, wo zai du shu, then ta zai pang bian yaoyaoyaoyao ta de jiao, hai wo distracted le. HAHAHAHAH' - aiyoo, really very funny, I was reading, then he was shaking his legs *insertsoundeffecthere*, so I was distracted (direct translation). lol. Like WTF. What is friggin' wrong with her! lol! Then at Jurong East, she stopped her madness, managed to continue reading her storybook aloud. How I wish I could SILENCIO her. LOL.
Yah, then at Jurong East, 2 African Americans came in. Then they talked and laughed, within themselves of course. lol. But they were standing in front of me and were like laughing almost throughout too. lol! I was like, woooww, what a day >.> lol.

Baahh. ADD later, FOE tomorrow. *Catches breath*

Well I gotta go prepare now! See ya!

Friday is official a SADISTIC day. lol! Why? Because of the 3 shows on tv on Friday nights.
Ha. Frankly speaking, it has been quite some time since I've sat in front of the tv for like 3 hours? lol.
10pm-11pm: American Idol
Totally in awe of the female's perfomance. Gosh. Seriously, all of the females are like damn talented can. All their voices damn strong. Whoo. The gir- I mean, guy, Danny, is like damnn disgusting can >.> The way he stands, sings and everything makes my hair stand! lol.
But yeah, this is the first show that eliminates people. lol.
11pm-12am: SURVIVOR! *Cough*
That reward challenge is SICK. I hate that they switched tribes. lol. But well it's part of the game, lol. GO OZZY, but GO AIRAI. lol. It's funny how the 2 couples still end up with each other - Parvati and James and Amanda and Ozzy, though they're in different tribes. I can't wait for them to merge. lol. And and - Chet, please go. lol! JOEL DESERVES BEING BACKSTABBED! lol. Disgusting freak. Still dare to ask why they chose Chet over him, how many times did he choose Chet over Mikey B, over Mary. lol. Bastard.
Again, this show eliminates a contestant. lol.
12am-1am: Hell's Kitchen
Damn nice, this show. lol. I started watching it only 2 weeks before I think. lol. Goooooo Heatherrrrrr. Virginia is such a B-I-T-*-H. lol. Too bad Keith, I guess Remzy DOES have a thing for Virginia. *Shudders at the thought* lol.
Yup. You got it, this show eliminates a contestant too. lol.
Three straight shows that kick people off the show. lol. SADIST! lol.

And can I dedicate this following paragraph to Jocelyn and Jianle? LOL. Why why why? Becauuuseee..
MANUTD LOST TO PORTSMOUTH IN FA CUP!
lol! It's damn funny can, Jocelyn. Van der sar was replaced by Kuszczak at half time, what a suurrppriisee joke by old muddle-headed Fergie. lol! Then at 76th minute, the substituted goalie got himself a red card. And that means they have no more goalkeepers to come on and take the place! Rio Ferdinand actually became the goalie. HAHAHA. Damn funny. And missed to save a penalty. Like duh. lol.
And to Jianle..
BARNSLEY 1 - 0 CHELSEA! LMAO xD
Just what happened to Liverpool. lol. Barnsley's god. *COUGH*
Can Barnsley win the FA cup?! lol!
*Crosses fingers and chants: Arsenal so so cannot lose to Wigan tonight. LOL.*

And yesterday was a funnnn day! Haha.
Together with my second sister, we whipped out 3 dishes. lol.
Being a chef is too fun >.> Maybe if I don't excel in the tourism industry, Imma go learn some culinary skills. lol. My sister bought a lot of ingredients back. They are damn cool, those spices, what Tumeric Ground etc, and Olive Oil - the bottle looks neat :D I'm too lazy to upload the pictures now. Maybe next post. lol.
We succeeded in 2 out of 3. lol. Whoot!
Next post next post, Imma post the pictures and tell you the ingredients and stuff, then you can go and try, damn fun and tastehh. lol.

Next week's gonna be one whole busy week. Darn >.>

But OH MY FGOD. I won Colbie Caillat showcase tickets from 987! xD COLBIE CAILLAT! *Faints* Love her to deatthhh. Her songs are greatgreatgreat. 16th March. Can't wait. *Flails*

It is a tradition, a history, a culture, a custom, but ultimately still a belief, that proposals made on the Leap Day (February 29) can NOT and never be rejected.

Will you marry me? *Puppy-eyed face*

Oh no wait. It applies to the ladies only, I think. lol. That is why people say, 'Men Fear Leap Year Proposals'. lol. I thought it's interesting and funny (:

This week is damn high. Ya'rrriight.
Went to school on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Normal school week it is! At least almost. zZzZzz.

Yesterday was meeting with Felicia for FOP. Agenda, blah, blah. Sounds easy but it's a killerrrr. S-E-R-ious. lol. Then Lishi, Fel and I joined Clinton, Carrie, Jocelyn, Flora, Darryl for dinner at JE. It's JURONG ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE, turtle! lol! Mountain turtle! HAHA. Went for a little bit of arcade too. lol. Damn high daytona-ing and DDR-ing. So not me can. *Cough*. lol. Went back home at about 10 I think.
Then rested for a while (HEX-ing :P) before starting to prepare slides/information needed for today's meeting. Until what time? 4am. Yey. Thanks eh. Can't believe it myself either. It's like having an exam can. Then woke up at 6am. 2 hours of sleep. DURING holidays. Whoooof.

(Although Banana Two, I'm SO disappointed with you. You've changed to be just like THEM. :( )

Had ADD Meeting after that and went home soon after.
Can't take it already. Damn tired. Although until now I haven't get to my bed, but you know, you'll be recharged naturally at home - Home's always da' best :D

And sorry AKA Boys. lol. Really just too tired to play soccer. Who knows if I went, I might just faint halfway. lol.

Anyways #1: The more I think, the more disappointed I am with myself :( I think my situation is eeexxacctllyy the same as Vivian. Aced core modules. Others? >.> I really want to study :(
Anyways #2: YEY. If you ever are interested in Getai. Heh. Click here. Link may lead to another page, if you wanna check out, just like try pages 5, 6, or 7 etc. YEY. (I so want Incubus, KT Tunstall, or Maroon 5!)

AHHHHHHH!! The long awaited day has arrived! lol.

I woke up at 3.30am, then decided to go back to sleep, thinking that the results will still not be out. lol. But I was wrrooongg! lol. Information from the bunch of nerds who camped by the sas email throughout the night, the results was released at about 2.30am! lol. NERDS xD
Then I woke up a second time at 6am, whooo! Jumped out of the bed, didn't even turn on the lights, I ran to my laptop and turned it on. lol!

As expected, another well known nerd logged in a little after. lol! He is you know who - Ong Clinton the turtle! lol.

Okay, now to the results. Heh.
I'm damn happy for POA, Stats and Geog. lol. Whoo!
OM! xD Dammmmnn it lah. A weeee biit more to A. ksnfdihufbdsuybfsdfb!
YEY! I've got no Cs! Was a little surprised lah, 'cos I thought my FOM will get like C or C+, in the end got B! Yey. Better than nothing. Shush. lol.
The other minor credit units one, if onllyy they are all B+. *Punches laptop* lol.
Ayye, okay, I admit! I'm a 'tad bit disappointed with the results, though not to the extent of whole heart dropping from the 100th storey. lol. Just thought I could do better. Whhhyyy. Awrgh.

Feeling disgusted, betrayed, and, confused, probably. I- really, am speechless as to what I've seen this past few months. It really puts me off so much. Really. Do you take me as one who doesn't have common sense or something? 'Cos then maybe you're wrong. I really don't want to believe that you are involved in this shit 'act', but thinking back, you ARE. It's disappointing, frustrating, annoying, and basically E-V-E-R-Y one of the bad adjectives. You don't have to compare and HINT us about it. I don't want to make this too obvious. I'll just wait I guess. But I am just very, very bothered by it. Tell me if it's supposed to be like this.

Home be the best.
Virtual world be the best.

Watched Step Up 2 and Fool's Gold earlier today.
Step Up 2 rooockkks can. I may go to the theatre again when the movie hits the local big screen. Thanks to the present that I forgo Hiphop Dance. The movie just brings back some memories and, more importantly, the urge to re-join Hiphop Dance. But it's hard. It is..
Fool's Gold is alright. Probably arguable to spend the money on watching it in the theatre. lol. But I think some jokes they tried to crack are too dry. lol.
Plan to watch Meet the Spartans later. See how stupid it is. lol.

And finally another thing off my shoulder - the Oops! article. lol. Hopefully it comes out okay *crosses fingers*.

I wish I can end everything now - this moment. But I'd rather take responsibility for things first. Test my tolerance. I don't mind minor crash of reputation, actually.

Okay. I'm good I'm good. Zane and Alvin both sms-ed me about the scoreline of the Arsenal VS ManU match. *Smites*

Stomach cried today (stomach upset, heh), have no idea why. lol. Was overwrought though, that I know. Whooo. Something new that I'm gonna try - the Oops! thing - it's today! The butterflies in my stomach have been inhabiting in there for a couple of days already. Finally I'm gonna let it fly out of my body at 5pm today, I thought. The event, Getai Awards, lasted from 3pm - 5pm. Ahh. I couldn't wait for 5pm. lol.
Went there, met Oops! Jeremy (the photographer for this event). Shortly after, the thing started and I too, started to jot down details and information about the event. lol. 'Reporters'. *Shakes head* Everything, the situation, was just so unfamiliar and ambiguous - a new smell. lol.

Now my task is to write up on it, with deadline on Tuesday. I really am occupying myself with needless things huh. Never learn. lol.

*Yawns*
Anyways, yup, I went to the Sentosa Flower Festival with my family the other day. And let me bring you through it, here - virtually! It's free just like the festival!
(Oh - thank you SO much, Junita. Haha, didn't expect you to still remember me. Haha, but thanks for coughtheticscough. lol.)
Enjoy the flowers.

I'm just so high high in the sky *flies*. You'll know later in the post. WHHOO!

Well Valentine's Day for me has been more or less consistent throughout the years. lol. Other than some single parties or going-outs, there basically is nothing left to do on this day. lol. Or maybe I should put it - it's just like any other day! Just another day hallmark makes a ton more money. lmao.
Watched Freedom Writers, P.S. I Love You, and Juno. lol.
Lemme tell ya' - Freedom Writers HAS to be the BEST movie evvvvverrr. It's about racism, and how a teacher changes the mindset and thoughts of her class (Hilary Swank being the teacher, and Patrick Dempsey, if you watch Grey's Anatomy. lol.). It's SO heartwarming. My heart almost melted. And okay - I admit it - I sobbed a little. lol. The part where the student read to the class from his diary. Frreaakk. Listen carefully to what he say man. *Eyes get all teary* lol. I'd give this old movie a 5 out of 5 stars, if not 6. Heh.
P.S. I Love You is alright. The hubby died out of nowhere, like duh. lol. But the letters and set ups were quite okay, although not very detailed. Personally I don't like it as much, it's definitely below my expectation here. Am looking for the original version of the book now - not the one by Gerard Butler, the before-edited one. Hmmm. Probably a 3 stars out of 5.
Juno is oh-so-not-for-me. lol. It's really nothing what. No soundtracks kindda movie. *Falls asleep* lol. Don't even want to try to rate it. lol.

And I freaaagging signed up to be a Writer for Oops! Concerts/Gigs. It's certainly going to be a whole new experience - but it's scary, it's damn fast - signed up like on the 14th or 15th, next thing is an assignment straight - this coming Sunday (tomorrow), for the Getai Awards. lol. Terriiffyyyingg! No trainings etc. I'm so gonna diiiee. *Pees on pants* lol. We'll see how it goes tomorrow!

Friday was the FOP Facs/Helpers Bonding Session. lol. Turnout was eeeeww. Siigh. Why is our batch of schoolmates SO unenthusiastic? Boring man. Guess we'll just have to live with it. *Yawns and dozes off*.
Then Clinton, Felicia, Lishi and I went down to Pasir Ris to collect sponsorship items - Teenage Magazines. Saw a Student Council junior at Pasir Ris train station. Shocking. lol. Wasn't very close with her - she's I think 3 years junior or me or something. lol. She lives at Pasir Ris? That is way too crazy. lol. Everyday from Pasir Ris to Chinese Garden. zZzZZz. lol. Back to sponsorship. Yah, we had turtle's friend's friend's dad to help us with the transportation of the 2.4k of magazines - with a lorry! Got so psyched 'cos we're gonna hop on the back of the lorry. Have never been at the back of a lorry. lol. On the way back, I sat at the back with Fel and Lishi, with Clinton self-sacrificing and sitting at the front with the air-con smacking on his face constantly and dozing off. lol. While the three of us at the back high and getting all sua-gu-ed looking! Haha! Damn nice lah, the wind - especially at the expressway! lol. We played a little of the 2-0-5 game. LOL. Damn stupid. Anyhow screaming and shouting is damn cool :D
Then we reached the school and transported all the magazines to the storeroom, with the help of Fauzi, Khad, Carrie and Jocelyn. Haha. Thanks.

Night time was Survivor: Micronesia! Ooomygod. lol. I haven't been watching Survivor for a thousand years. Now it's holidays, and a new season. Couldn't have been a better time. lol. It's the favorites VS the fans this time round. It's cool, AND funny how the fans talk to their favorites, like when each of the tribes went to Exile Island. lol. Cirie and who? Kathy is it? lol. And it's so fun talking to Carrie about it! FINALLY SOMEONE watches those recent seasons' and know about them! *nods* EVERYONE in the world should watch the show! Heh.

Got up artificially (by alarm clock, lol) today to go down to Grand Copthorne Hotel to take a look at the site with Lishi, Felicia, Alicia, Lim Huiwen and Ivan (with Khad coming AFTER we've talked with the people there at the hotel. LOL). Walked around a little, blah blah, then went down to City Hall with Fel and Khad to- now here comes what I've been so 'high' about since the start of the post - BUY SIMPLE PLAN's NEW ALBUM! Whoo! GIVE IT UP everybbbaaddehh! Errr. Sorry.
YEAH. lol. It's been long since I've bought an album, and this just can't be missed! So a new addition to my pretty old stack of albums! Hoorrayy. Just so excited about it. Have finished listening to the whole album like twice already and have been emo-ing with Zane since before I bought the album. lol. Loooovvee 'Save You', 'Your Love Is A Lie', and 'I Can Wait Forever'. <3333! Tweet.
Ha. Sorry the album is not for loaning *hugs the album tightly*, but if you want the songs, you can get them from me *nods*.
And we had our lunch and Breek's Cafe at Marina Square. The Fish&Chips Set Lunch is ooohhhh so filling. lol. We all had our stomach bloated, what with desserts, drinks and soup-of-the-day included in the set lunch that costs us only $8.90++. *Licks lips*.

Mah' legs are still wobbly with the thought of going down for the Oops! thing tomorrow. lol.
Anyways, ARSENAL will take on manunited later in the morning at 1.15am, FA Cup 5th round. Will be sure to catch it. GO GUNNERS! :D

*Uses timeturner that Dumbledore gave* *Cough*

初一
A NEW YEAR! (Ooo, that's slow. lol.) As usual, got up, put on new style of clothes (no new clothes ): Just some layering and a tie. lol.) and out of the house we went, to mum's side. It's good to see all the cousins. Heh. Especially the other 2 horses! lol. We rock. lol. Ate, gambled, and went to Dad's side for a while before heading back to mum's side. lol.
Won about twenty over at the end of the day. Yey.

初二
This year got a little boring. History states that we go over to my mum's side to gamble and play for like 2-3 days. This year, no. Only the first day. ZzZZzZ. But my sisters and I went over to my cousin's house instead. Haha. Children's day out. lol. Played healthy mahjong, till late. lol.

初三
A little more interesting day than the other two I must say. lol. Went to Louis' house (sentosa colleagues) at noon, together with Candy, Chai Kee, Yewleong, Alan, Brandon, Jee Cheng, Johnson, and Siewlin. It's just cool that almost 90% of the time, we have almost all the people turning up for gatherings. Although I still am confuzzled as to how we managed to get so close. lol. Doesn't matter though. Haha. Lost a couple of bucks on Mahjong. lol.
Then head over to meet up with Yixiang, Kianwee, Kristin and June to celebrate June's birthday at Marina at Keppel Bay. It's a daaammmnnn coool place man. It's near Harborfront Centre and it's so ulu that no one knows where it is, but it's DAMN COOL, again. lol. It's near the condo where people have their own yachts. And it's SO breezy, like you're standing in front of the sea. I want to go back to the place again. Haha. Anyone? *Looks around*
It's kindda a 'party' where June invited us, primary school mates, and her current JC mates. So we chilled around, played a little BJ, heh, ate some chips, but I skipped the drinking. I want to be 100% sober. lol. Kianweeeeeee. HAHA! Drink drink drink some more. Puked immediately upon getting out of the cab. lol. Now you're banned. lol.
Got back home at about 1.30am. Bathed and slept. lol.

初四
Stay home Sunday. lol! Actually was supposed to go over Ms Chen's house. But it's at BISHAN, while I am at Jurong, and heard that coughitwasntthatfunandeventfulcough. Although there was ChocolateFondue, it wasn't enough to get me out of my homey. lol.

初五
Second FOC OC Meeting in the morning. Then went to AMK Hub to high. lol. Ate Fish&Co. SOMEONE is soooo childisshh and lame to play those kindda smacking and smashing games, and punching of duckies game. lol! But bishi bashi-related games are fun. lol.
Then went off at 6pm to JE for soccer till 10.30pm. Skipped supper and went home. I don't know, I'm guess I'm getting old and rusty, my leg muscles are aching now. lol.
Slept at about 12.30am, and got up at 4am to watch Arsenal Vs Blackburn! Haha. Soccer is the only thing that can get me up in the middle of the night, excluding getting up to chiong last minute studying. lol. The 2 hours watching the match was well worth it as Senderos and Adebayor both scored at the start and ending respectively. Haha. Adebayor is wooww. So glad that he scored, it's now his 9th consecutive match he scored in. Bloody brilliant. And it seems like deja vu, when what, 4 years back or something, Henry scored a late goal to win Blackburn by 2 goals, too, and keep the Gunners at the top of the table 5 points clear, too, and went on to win the BPL title. So what, I guess Arsenal will go on to win the title this year too. LOL. 12 more matches, BUT - 3 of them are with Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool. zZZzZ. All the big matches will so decide the title holder. lol.
I'm all psyched about the International Games thing. Hopefully Arsenal will be heading to Singapore! It's cool that Singapore is one of the countries the extra match will be held. Can't wait.

初六
FOC Facs and OC Bonding Session in the morning. Then went over to Clubhouse in the afternoon, discussing Night Walk, FOP, FOC etc. lol. Left for home at about 4pm.
Talked on the phone with the turtle for like an hour and a half about FOP. Gooosshh. Ear almost exploded, what with the high pitch the turtle produces. LOL. Anyways -
- SIMPLE PLAN's ALBUM IS OUT! - I so need to go to HMV soon. lol. -

*Time turns and is sucked into the abyss - and BACK into the present*

初七, today!
Nothing much, just that probably, I'll be going to the Sentosa Flower Festival later in the evening with my family. lol. Fllloweerrs. Follow the butterflies .. Follow the butterflies! lol. Potterpuppetpal viewers will know. lol. Actually. Not really. That scene is a secret scene. You've got to click on something. lol.

That's all! Gotta have my lunchie now. BYE.

Last Tuesday was the Geography paper. Venue was at T1. lmao. Thanks to people who were taking Econs paper. *Cough* lol. The paper was pretty good. lol. I just don't like the fact that the GGT lecturers/tutors, I don't know, what, too lazy to tell us the format of the paper? Like during e-learning week too, didn't tell us what to do, and said there WILL be work. In the end, what the hell. Posted on Blackboard - asking us to finish up tutorial 8. That's all. Like duh. That's not even e-learning work. The teachers' communication is like boo. But of course, we know the format to this answer, thanks to ourselves. Everyone finished the paper before 2 hours and left the room. lol. Same for me, and it's the first time I leave early during any exams. Haha.
Aim for GGT: A

Thursday was PACC paper. The module that is the most scared of. lol. Credit unit 8, who can bear to not get A. lol. Have to work hard. Siighh. Luckily partnership wasn't that bad. I skipped all its lecture and tutorials xD Phew. lol. GST ttrriickked me. Awrgh. But it's okay, hopefully other questions are okay. Also, it's the first time I finished a PACC paper before time o.O Everytime during PACC exams/tests, I just don't have enough time to do them all properly. lol. *Crosses fingers for the best* :D
Aim for PACC: A

After the Thursday paper was frrreeedoomm! lol. Went for first FOC OC Meeting, till about 6 plus. Then went back home to bathe and have dinner before heading back for FOC Night Walk recee! Haha. Went to Jurong East to meet up with Fel, Clinton, Cecilia, Aliyo and Lishi first, who were there to have their dinner. Then we head to the ARCADE! LOL. We daytona-ed like more than 5 times. A total of 6 of us competing - it has to be the most number of people I've ever played Daytona with before. lol. SUPER FUN! lol. Coughtheyellowcarisdamneasytoflipcough. LOL.

Then we headed back to school to just make it in time to get their bags from SAC. Then bathed, then went back to our 'bunk' as SB. lol. Played Fishball. Err nonono. AIYAH SEE LAH STUPID SISSY! Now I forgot what it is really called. lol. Something like Happy Family. Haha. Super high. Then the MRT game. lol. Stuupiidd. HAHA. TURTLE lost. HEH.

At about 12am, we went to do what we thought is the main purpose for the night. Haha. The whole thing was interesting. lol. Some encounters here and there, too thrilling. lol. We walked for an hour and a half before going back to our bunk, and then we slept till 6 plus in the morning. lol. Gonna go for another recee real soon. lol.
We got up and had breakfast at school's McDonalds. Ahh, it's always good to have McDonalds in school. Cheap and nice. lol. Outside's prices are just SO ridiculous that I'm rarely gonna have meals there. lol. Then Ivan joined us halfway to clean up the clubhouse. lol. It is now clean and spaciouuuss. It has became one of my favorite hideouts in school once again! lol.

Then home sweet home (FINALLY!) at about 3pm. Spent the rest of the day doing some urgent FOP and FOC stuff first, before slacking, and watching 27 Dresses! It is ONE GOOD movie! Starting may be a little boring, but woah, as it goes, I got hooked on to it. Really nice (: Everyone must watch. It is what, both heartbreaking, AND heartwarming! Especially at the part just before the end where they were at the cruise. Whootz. So touching. lol.

Up next is PS. I Love You and Sweeney Todd. WHOO! Haha. Be back later to give a little review, maybe. lol.

Will be meeting up with June later and talk about her birthday party and some updates on coughsomeonecough over supper at JP. lol.
Alrighty! For now - LUNCH! :D

End of first week of final exams! Whoot. Feeling so-so. lol. And you're right, let's dive back into the week right now.

Monday, 210108
Ooo. First exam of the year-end exams - Organisational Management. Really memorised like all the sets of notes like hell my brain felt like it was gonna burst O.o Lucky this paper was at 6pm, well, although it has a damn dumb timing, it was beneficial in another way - I had like a couple of more hours to chiong. lol.
In the end it turned out, well, ookkaay I think. I don't know, I really don't know how well I'll do for this paper. lol. I'll need about 85 marks to get A for OM. Ohh. Unless there is moderation. lol. I so hope so :P That's not cheating. Nonono. *Keeps fingers cross*
Aim for OM: B+

Wednesday, 230108
The most hated - all time, paper - Fundamentals of Marketing. lol. Just when it seems like OM couldn't get any worse, FOM comes in. *Spits* lol. Irritating eh. Need to memorise sooo much. Awrgh. And it's as if my head isn't big enough already. *Shifty eyes*
This paper drained so much energy off me. lol. I skipped sleep to memorise all the shit. lol.
It turned out that I was a little, err, blur. lol. I came to realise that I couldn't seem to remember whether or not I did a question or two after I looked at the question after submitting the answer sheet. lol. But it was only a couple of marks, it's okay. But I think it's gonna be I-M-POSSIBLE to get A. lol. Have already long ago thrown that thought out the window. lol.
And after 35 hours of no sleep, I turned it and slept like a pig. lol.
Aim for FOM: B

Thursday, 240108
Woke up at 9am to study Statistics. Haven't even touch it. lol. Well, if you want to count a few pages. lol. ZzZZzz.
And heard from the radio that we can get to pre-order Simple Plan's releasing-soon self-titled album! Whootiiee. Can't wait! And it'll come with a limited edition t-shirt. Be it Simple Plan or 987fm design, I love them either way. Now I can spend the HMV voucher on another album, originally planned to use the 10bucks voucher generously given by ongton to buy Simple Plan's. Haha. Probably, hmmm, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' album. Whoo! Haha. Thanks Clinton! :D
Ah yes ah yes! We can stand a chance to interview SimplePlan. What does that mean? - They're coming to Singapore for the what, 5th time? WHOO. Open a concert and we'll be there for sure, righto Andrea? LOL.
And - during their interview with MTV, they were asked which cartoon character they like the most. And guess what Chuck said. BART SIMPSON. LMAO xD I almost fell off the chair. lol! He said Bart's a person who doesn't care about anything and does whatever he likes. Didn't know his character all this while. lol!
Now on a more serious note - Heath Ledger, the older one in Brokeback Mountain (not Jake), just passed away in his sleep : Originally thought to have an accidental drug overdose doesn't seem to be the case. Speculations are saying that it is afterall, not accidental : Jake Gyllenhaal (the other half in Brokeback), said he had been worrying about Heath after his marriage slipped and didn't manage to get the child too. Also about him making a film about him dying in the Seattle Film Festival. The whole story was, wow - horrifying. So sad to see him go. Siighh. Seeing that 2 new films with him inside are coming up. Oh well :

Friday, 250108
TODAY! lol. Statistics. Ha. Frankly speaking, from the moment that I was in school to the moment the paper started, my mind was, kindda blank. I was scared off my pants when I looked at the paper and my mind was blank. lol. Luckily as it went, things and formulas and steps started to flow back. Now I am at least more confident. lol. And a great module exams to end off the week of 3 exams. HA. No full marks though ): Figured that one of my MCQ was wrong. lol. 98! *Cough*
Aim for STATS: A

Just 2 more exams to go and I'm free free free! lol.
UPDATE: From now on, I'll 'Engorgio' (enlarge, in Harry Potter spells version *cough*) the movie title(s) that are recommended to watch. Haha. I'll only up the size of at most 2 movies, so that there will be difference between the up-ped sizes one and the bolded ones. lol. Bolded ones are the ones I'd like to watch. Haha.

I hate to go out with people with different frequencies as I am. It's just so hard to communicate and get high. *Rolls eyes*. And egoistic people? Please, stay away from me. *Rolls for the second time*

Finally have the mood to blog. I have things to blog about almost every other day, but just either don't have the mood to, or don't have the energy to. lol.

Past week or so of school hasn't been the best of the last week of school. Seriously at some point of time, I didn't even know what I was doing. *Shrugs*

Gonna touch on some of the more significant events over the past week (:

Tuesday the 8th, we were to hand in our IDEA Project - the report, A1 slides, and powerpoint presentation - everything, despite that our presentation is the following Tuesday. That's Alan's rule - to make it fair. lol. Other classes are not like this! Rawr. But anyhow, that rule led to some good memories *nods*.
The day before submission, PJ, Jian An and Christine came over to my house to finish up everything. It was a night, full of mushrooms, full of laughter and craps. lol. Thanks to Christine and her scandal boyfriend - the PKL Buddy, and blue 'morku'. lol. I don't know what to say, but well, yeah, the stayover was one of the best moments of project-chionging of the year, and what a fantastic project to end off the year. Not forgetting that this HAS to be the only one that I have sufficient time to prepare for my presentation. lol. Seriously. It feels good being prepared (:
But because of having to submit everything on Tuesday, 3 groups out of 4, skipped Stats tutorial that day. lmao! In the end, it turned out that only SIX persons went to Stats tutorial. Record record ..
Hopefully this project will be a great one. Our mechanics. Our slides. Our product. Damn cool (:

Friday was GEMS Quiz Test, 30%.
Was busy copying and photocopying all the notes that I do not have and all, that I didn't study GEMS much : I really planned to study and get a full mark or something (LOL), but what a disappointment and disgrace to myself! Awrgh. Hopefully the report can pull our marks up! I can't bear not to get an A for GEMS, an easy module! I'll so kill myself. *Gets ready ropes*.

Oh yeah! Friday was the LAST LAST day of school! How could I have forgotten about it? *Rolls eyes* What a day to end my Year1 in SP. Totally feeling-less. Yucks. Disgusts me.

But well, at least it IS the end of school afterall. Now to decide my future .. *Contemplates over A whole LOT of things*
A week of study week before heading into the final exams hall. If I don't get good grades - byebye! (:

Sometimes, too much of one thing kills it all. And now, it seems the case to two scenarios! Wow. One thinks that one is damn funny, feels accomplished that one can make another person laugh. What great achievement *nods in sarcasm*. Maybe you should stop soon if you don't want a person hating you.
Another is damn messy. All messed up. People. Things. All. Let's see the situation a day by a day. Just blame myself for choosing this path (:
If you want to end it - end it now. Don't do things behind our back! Come on, you're a grown up. And you'd better not lie when asked, otherwise a tight slap you'll get.
Thanks to 2 persons the times spent in school's a little happier :P Trust me, no one really knows how close we are. LOL. I have evidence! *nods*
Don't EVEN think about guessing what I am referring to in the above paragraphs, because I have more than what you think I have to think about.

PS. I'll probably not blog anymore till the end of exams, the 31st.

First of all:
WHOOO!! ARSENAL WON THE NORTH LONDON DERBY! Muahaha!

Final Score: ARSENAL 2 - 1 totty

Heh. Hopefully ManU loses to Everton tomorrow. *Shifty eyes* But it's a home game for the stupid Reds. *Crosses fingers* :P

Let's recount on Friday..

Friday, 211207

Morning was a short FOP briefing, followed by ADD Meeting. Booth. More booth. *SMILES*.

Moving away from that..

THANKS FELICIA, for the Giordano 'Maths/Nerd' Shirt! lol! I love it so much. Hehe. Just right I'm looking for tees. Yey! Thank you again, stupid turtle! Haha.

Anyway, after the meetings, Cecilia, Alicia, Clinton, Carrie, Lishi and I went to Pitstop! Haha. We were so lost when we reached Clarke Quay. I know it's at Clarke Quay but had totally no idea how to go from there. lol. And thanks to PJ and TIMO! (: Thanks so much for helping me find the place, after like half an hour of searching. lol.

But it was all worth it!

The staffs were friendly and welcoming *pretends to do IDEA*, the 'decor' is unique - filled full with photos of past customers. That's why I said - a board-gaming shop opened by students is totally different from the others. Settlers' Cafe was like, so dull, and the seats and tables were so uncomfortable. Service wise, no way near Pitstop's. And Minds'. Sucks. So small and cramp, though furnishing wise is better than Settlers'. lol. So next time if you want to go board-gaming - GO PIGSTO- I mean, PITSTOP *nods*.

'What kindda games do you guys want?'

Our reply will always be 'High games!' lol. Damn funny. We were so noisy we were asked to 'slower' than our volume. lol! Whhhoo carrressss. lol. But we suspect that they eventually choose a game that's quiet to let us play. Idiot. lol. But the game was too nice that we didn't complain even though it is a quiet game. lol. It's called - Sequence! Haha. I super love that game. Hard to explain, but if you ever go there, try that game. Haha, but be warned that it's a strategy game.

Another super noisy and high game is the dog bone game. Somettthiingg like Heart Attack, just that you can exchange with anyone any number of cards, and the main objective is to get the bone placed at the center. lol. Super high. lol.

One of the crew there who looked so matured, I mean, like a poly student, was actually a student waiting for O level posting results. lol. And she's planning to come to SP's DTRM. Muahah. Junior! lol.

But yeah, overall the service was fantastic, we didn't try the food 'cos we didn't want to spend too much money on coughexpensivestuffcough. All of us are money-less now after Christmas shopping. Damn it! lol.

We stopped board-gaming at 6pm, the Clinton, Lishi and Carrie went back home for dinner while Aliyo, Sissy and I stayed at The Central for dinner. After wandering around for a bit, we finally settled for - Pepper Lunch! Siighh. We didn't want to spend much on dinner, but, in the end, no choice. It's either that or Yoshinoya. Managed to console ourselves by saying 'need to pamper ourselves once in a while'. lol. Lies and falsehoods ...

lol. Had the same thing, AGAIN - Salmon Pepper Rice Set. lol. Then headed back home after chatting in there for almost three quarter of an hour I think. lol.

TODAY!

Woke up at 1pm (lol :P) and went to my grandma's house to have lunch. Today is the 'tang yuan' festival right? Don't know what it's called, but yeah. lol. But didn't have time for tangyuan, 'cos my grandma was asleep when I reached there and had to rush off to celebrate Christmas with my Primary School friends.

So 3.30pm, I reached June's house, where there were already Yixiang, June and Kristin. So we dived into Mahjong IMMEDIATELY. lol! Damn funny. And a couple of minutes later, Kianwee reached! And followed by Xianhuan. Mahjong mahjong for the next an hour and the half before changing to Blackjack, where everyone can play. lol.

Dinner was KFC at 9pm! lol. Yes! You guessed it right, we called for a delivery. lol. Lazy people are like that. lol! While waiting for the delivery, we had our Gift Exchange! Haha. In the end I got a Photo Frame. Okay, this photo frame's quiitee nice. Haha. THANKS YIXIANG for that! Thanks oh! *Sarcastic* lol. Just kiddin' :P

Then we went back to Blackjack, then Mahjong again. lol. Won about 5 bucks at the end of the day. Could have been more, thanks to Kristin and Kianwee, the ClementiTown Power - 5 'tai's, 'zi muo'. Daarrrnnn. lol!

Then came back home at 1.30am :D

Christmas Eve, will be celebrating with cousiinss :D Whoo!

What a pleasant surprise! And there I was, complaining why the heck in the world do they wanna hold a meeting at 5.30pm on a non-school day! lol. Aww, so sweet! :D
Ha. What really happened was: A meeting was called today, at 5.30pm. ExCo COMPULSORY Meeting. And it turned out that, the doesn't-look-so-sweet sweet Year2s was actually planning to give us a, Christmas plus a little farewell celebration (:

We entered a room with candles lit, rose petals scattered to form a path for us, and in front of our eyes are tables for each of us, personalised with a personalised pillow. Heh. And so we took our seat and I guessed it! Guohua's well-known video! lmao! Nice atmosphere and ambience really. Haha, nice! And well done lying to us twice! First the meeting, second the celebration of Dennis Sim's birthday. RIGHT! lol. And the meeting 'content'! lol! Ssshhhh.. LOL.
From the ambience to Qianyi kicking off the session, to Ivan wanting to cry, to Guohua's video, to the end of the session - it definitely is one fantastic memory it'll forever stay (:
Special THANKS:
Ivan for the personalised pillow. Other than the wrong spelling of my name (after telling you a million times. LOL), it look great! Haha. BART :P
Qianyi! For the never-expected-from-you sweet message in a bottle. Haha. The message reached out to mmeeee - bulleye! lol. I know you can't remember the message but neh mind! I know can already. lol! Very very nice (:
Guohua! For rushing (heh heh heh!) the video! Even though it was a rush, you know it was good. Hehe.
And thanks Peishan for teaching them to LIE! RAWR! lol!
And Mardee - for 'send me the meeting minutes'! lol. Idiiioottt! lol.
And ...
Clinton & Aliyo for the formal belt! Come to think of it - it IS OF USE. Haha. 'Cos even though the pants is already pretty tight, the belt area can be seen, and it'll certainly look better with one nice leather belt (: THANK YOU BOTH!
After the celebration, we went out for dinner at Tiong Bahru Plaza (but Qianyi and turtle Fel had to go back). lol. We had Japanese Ramen at, err, I can't remember the name of the restaurant. Haha. It has got a weird name. But I know it's the one where you can choose the level of chilli you want in your ramen. lol. I had a, something like a seafood ramen. With mussel, scallop, prawn and crabstick (see that there is no 's' at the back of those words. lol). It's quite okay overall, just be warned that the chilli is crrazzzyy. Don't even think of ordering level 4's chilli. lol.

So far, this Christmas has been memorable and fulfilling. At least more than previous years. Ahh. Looking forward to the actual day, though I'm still unsure of where and who I will be spending it with. Haha. MAYBE with my dear cousins. It has been long since we get together and ccrrappp! WHITE CHICKS! Haha! We shall see! *nods*

The first big clash just ended. The one between Liverpool and Man U. What a disappointment, AND - worry! Final score being 0-1 to Man U means that, they are now top of the table and whether or not they'll stay on top depends solely on the second big clash of the day later at 12am - ARSENAL vs chelsea. Oh hell is it making me nervous. lol. Super unsatisfied that Man U won. Rawr! Anyways, gotta watch the match later! If Chelsea wins, I'm so gonna cry my eyes out. Okay. Not really. But somewhere around there. lol!

Today was half a day out with Sentosa Colleagues. A catchup session cum Christmas celebration (: So, went through another Gift Exchange session. Haha. Yup, not the Secret Santa kind. So I got a Body Shop Body Soap/Shampoo/Lip Balm. Haha. Pretty satisfied. Yey. But I bet I won't be using it. lol. Too high class. Haha. It'd be more suitable to put it in my glass cabinet and please my eyes. Haha. Thanks Chaikee for the present of yours! lol.
I reached Louis house (at Khatib - an hour trip from my house to his. lol) at about 4pm. There was Alan, Candy, Jewel, Shast, Jee Cheng & her bf, Siewlin, Louis himself and myself. We had fun chatting, a short session of gossiping (LOL), and EATING (each brought quite some snacks. Plus cakes brought by Candy and a self-made one by Chaikee - damn nice :D)! Plus one whole 4.5kg turkey with Chestnuts filling. Heh. Very nice. I likkeee turkeys! Then watched a little of the "Red Star Big Award" (directly translated) together. Damn entertaining. Haha.

Festive of joy. Festive of giving. Ah yes! Giving! And of course, karma - what goes around comes around. With giving comes receiving! (: So let's kick start this entry with what I have received over the last few days of Christmas season. Haha.

THANK YOOOUU:
SISSY DAR DAR!! Haha. For the 3 small candycanes. It was the first to arrive under my Christmas Tree this year. I guess you cheated, since the tree's where you are staying. LOL :DD
CHERIE. Thank you, my class' secret santa! Heh. You looked through me, gave me a Traveller's Mahjong :P You will never know how useful it will be to me. *Chuckles*
LISHI aka FOOD MONSTER aka ANPANMAN's WIFE!! Best gift so far this year comes from you. Never guessed it'd be this - a 1GB Sandisk THUMBDRIVE (and a bracelet & a handphone hanger, is it? lol)! Yey. Coincidentally, it IS the style that I like too! Haha. The slide one. She just knows me. lol. Seeing that I always borrow thumbdrive from others to print posters. Haha. This is one good example of buying a useful gift. But I JUST don't know what to buy for others. Haha. Sorry, my gifts receivers! Haha. Anyways:

MERRY CHRISTMAS '07!

11 more days to the actual festival and we're all getting psyched already. Can't wait! (:

Gonna have another Gift Exchange session this Sunday with Sentosa Colleagues! Whoot! Eager to give, get, and most importantly, get to meet all of them! Heh.

Happiness primary. Ranting secondary.

AHH! Can't believe holidays' actually - HERE! *Shocks* It has been the most exhausting period of time for me this past couple of months, really. Thanks to the presence of PJ in most of my projects groups. If not for her, I'd have been a dead man by now. And towards the end of the term, I finally get to know how she has been doing all this while. Report and presentation, all compiled and edited by one person. How tiring. Past 2 days, I have not been sleeping and the next day, only 3 hours of sleep. It was definitely challenging. Heh.
But yeah, it IS over. Over over over. And I dread the arrival of Year 2, where projects will be more frequent and, heard that it is, going to be tougher.

Issues between human beings are just, so frequent, yet useless and pointless. I just hope that everyone will get back to their original self.

2 weeks of holidays ain't gonna be an easy 2 weeks. Truckloads of work to catch up with and get prepared for the Final Year Exams. I am so not going to slack or procrastinate this time round. I hope this holiday can sufficiently help me cover what I have missed out on the past few weeks, skipping lectures and tutorials because of events/fatique.

NOTE: No one is to disturb Edsmond in the next 2 weeks. Or they shall die.

LOL. Watch out for me, 3.8 (4.0 is difficult with CRS etc.).

I know I've been a disappointment and done a poor job.

But I really do have an explanation.

I don't think you guys understand the real meaning of being tired - falling asleep in front of the laptop, knees give way when sleeping while standing in the MRT etc.

You know I DO my work in proper. But this time round, I got so lost, and I REALLY do not have time for it.

Sorry for disappointing you, and it all turned out, not that good, I know, we know.

Alright then. I gotta head to my nest now. Last time was 'my eyes are closing'. Now? 'My eyes have already closed.'. lol. And it's true though. Haha.

Anyways, all you guys out there - enjoy Christmas this year, and, whoo! Party and celebrate Christmas! My favorite festive season, ever (;

I KNOW I KNOW! lol! MST is well over! Hahaha. But really, this past few weeks, I've been stressing myself out with what seems like never ending events, projects and school work. It's not fun at all and because of this, things and dramas have been occuring. Like what the hell! Sigh.

To finish off the topic of MST, I shall continue with my results! Haha.
Statistics: 100/100.
Yey yey. Never expected it 'cos I REALLY think the paper was tricky. Yup. But neh mind, yey me.
Accounts: 85/100.
NEVER expected it too. Really, 'cos I really felt the screw-up-ness in me after the paper, really really. I never lie. Another yey for me. lol.
Geography for Global Tourism: 85/100.
Haha. Familiar marks right. lol. This is the 3rd paper I am really happy with. Haha, never thought of getting so high too, hurray!
OM: 68/100.
I feel like killing myself :(
Seriously, this is one subject I am aiming for an A. So easy, but I can't ace it. And to think I spent 2 full days memorising them. Awrgh. Lucky it's only 10%. If by sem-end I do not get an A, anyone feel free to kill me. lol.

So yey. Overall still pretty satisfied with the marks. Except OM, DAMN disappointing. Will work hard for sem-end paper, although I know, you know, everyone knows, I've been really distracted, right?

Now for some of you to drool. Hehe. A walkthrough of Linkin Park Concert I've been to last couple of weeks. Actually my sisters and I were not sure if we wanted to go, but in the end my second sister won 2 best tickets + backstage meet-and-greet tickets. Whoot! So we went! *JUMPS*

The place at where we were supposed to wait for our tickets!

Place JUST OUTSIDE MEET-AND-GREET ROOM! :P

See the door at the top left hand side, it's the room to meet and greet LP!

First picture of the day! - Chester!

More..

Now featuring Joseph :D

Bassist Phoenix

Mike, Brad, Rob.

Mike and Brad. Don't you think Mike look like Mario here? LOL.

We're in the INDOOR STADIUM! Whooo!

We're in the stadium, waiting, patiently (at least we try to.. LOL) for LP to arrive :D

And look at the crowd!!

And off they go! ROCKIN'!!!!

LP ROCKS! I think this background's damn cool isn't it? :D

And presenting Drummer - ROB! :DD

- CHESTER!

- JOSEPH doing his brilliant thing.

- Brad with his guitar. Real cool picture this is huh. lol.

Rob and Chester.

Mike on the keyboard.

Up close picture of Chester, not screaming this time round :D

More of Mike Shinoda, Fort Minor fans! lol.

- Rob.
This picture has got to be my wallpaper. Whoot!

And everything's ending. Boohoo. Although it is one of the better concerts. YEAHH!

What an experience. It was a real 'WOW' concert. They ended the whole concert with 'Bleed It Out', with songs like 'Faint' and 'Crawling' making the crowd go wild. I really like the fact that they play songs from both Minutes to Midnight and Meteora. And a couple of songs from Hybrid Theory. lol. Excellent stuff, definitely!
In 10 days' time, I'll be up close with My Chemical Romance! Whoohoo! :DD
Bought the best ticket - free standing, and if you've been listening to the radio - the Black Paraders are giving away Queue Jumpa' tickets - meaning that with that ticket, a 'front-er' row will be reserved for us! Oh yyeahh! The Black Parade, we're coming!! :DD
Anyways my second sister, Eevin and I are going. We have 1 extra ticket (together with the Queue Jumpa' priority), if anyone is interested in going, we're willing to sell the ticket at a reasonable price - just contact anyone of us! :D

I think it's what is happening.
No actions taken to prevent what is going to happen.
So be it, endings not what everyone wants.
Yes, it's once again, friendship that stops me from moving on,
but that will eventually not work, like it didn't last the previous time.
