Whattheheck
I really can't watch horror movies/shows
5 mins into We Got Married horror episode (the scary part, not the sports section in front), and I gave up and closed all my loading windows.
Around midnight now. Am freaked. D':

How am I supposed to get to the other room to switch off the Mio Internet modem now. Sigh. Everyone else is sleeping and lights are already off ><
I MEAN LIKE SERIOUSLY, HOWWW?!

2010-09-17T22:20:00.004+08:00

desktop buddies are the cutest :3
it might be chaos when they self-multiply but somehow, they get so endearing after a while

Ohmyjjong ^^ hahahaa

in their various ~~states of undress~~ actions

so cutely lined up, eight in a row!

Okay, off to sleep, to forget the sh** that happened today now

As much I love living in Singapore, there are a whole lot of places I want to travel to right nowww. Newest on my list: 旺角，香港---I need to shop there one day!

Maybe I just feel the need to get overseas cos' vacations are always a break away from all the stuff you've gotta handle in normal times, and coupled with the fact that it's exam period...yeah~(have not been studying though, feel like killing myself for wasting the whole morn/afternoon)

Granted, I spent time lazing around in my room with my younger sis and talking rubbish with her which is actually very enjoyable and homely/comfy, so that wasn't a waste of time per se but STILL.

my baby sis (:
Don't ask me why she's so many shades fairer than me,
and why her hair is brownish while mine is black, I have absolutely no clue.

overexposed pictures from a few months ago ^^
Didn't expect myself to start rambling about her, so these are pretty much the best pictures we have tgt that are already on my laptop

Oh, and I was thinking, I cannot wait until my sis grows up a bit more; she's 10 now, and we're gonna have so much fun doing stuff together next time. Ok, HAHAHA realised this sounds all American chick-flickish but you get the idea. I don't think I've been a very good sister cos' I show her all my bad sides all the time, lose my temper on her and all. And most times she gives in to me instead of the other way round because she's just sweet and has it in her nature like that.

And then that day, found out that it isn't very easy for her being my sister in my primary school (LOL, thought it was absurd when I found out the reason), so...

♥

2010-08-29T15:00:00.002+08:00

The person who came up with the idea of buffets must have been a man.
With no consideration whatever to his figure.
Yesterday night was just insanely out of hand, because I ate even more than my dad. Not smart.
Haha, but neverminddd

Studying Jap now, I can't believe I have to give it up next year D:
I think I might post something on that soon, after exams are over.
Time to hit the books now... I've been procrastinating so much >:(

2010-08-16T08:35:00.004+08:00

Okay, school is officially mad.
We have Home-based learning even for PE, and we have to write essays and make collages and whatnot on Olympism for homework.
If they happen to choose my essay for display, I think I'll just die of embarrassment cos' I really just tried my best to hit the word quota by extending one phrase to 10 words when it could have very well been expressed in 3.

whutisthisss

2010-08-12T20:53:00.004+08:00

OH, and I forgot to mention that on National Day, my outfit was red shorts + white tee, just stuff that I found in my wardrobe at 3am after finally finishing up my Lit AA.
AND THEN while we were taking photos in *scape, the one in which me and vera went crazy channeling Tell Me Your Wish, I suddenly remembered this:

Credits: style@soshified

Zomg, if only I looked like that hahahaha!
Okay, but at any rate, I love the fact that our national colours make for rather nice outfits

Fireworks in CCK were mad awesome too, could see them from my block :3
A late happy 45th Singapore!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2010-08-12T19:19:00.008+08:00

I have such cute friends (:

and...

~~read the whiteboard~~ hehe

headed off to scape that day after ndp to check out what all the hype was about, but not many shops were open yet, except the cafes(it was almost noon, so who knew! Really wanted to go into stage too D:) , so we went and ate. and ate.

@ the First cafe, and then ice cream at Marble Slab Creamery afterwards (: The stall assistants at both places were really friendly, enough to make me go back again some other time! One of them even asked Joey where her SHINeeWorld tee was from haha, so cute!

ok, yeah, we like taking photos tgt idc xD

vera's megawatt smile after braces!

Then Joey started teaching me Lucifer's insane tutting part, and we started doing the poses from some of the kpop dances haha (Y)

We never get sick of doing this pose (L)

joey and me both have matching dps now, the ones on the left and right are mine and hers respectively :D

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh~

and their abracadabra still shot...

nan neo eh genie ya, kumiya, genie ya~

Swensens after that, the good ol' 1-for-1 which is like, really indispensable to us

very very happy with our spread

ordered pizza too, but couldn't wait to eat it, so no photos

and jiale was finally there for a meetup! love you dear, it always feels weird when we wanna have a proper jap buds (idk why and when this became our official name ROFL) meeting but you aren't there due to your heavy committmentsss. You're so funny, you make our outings so much more lively. yay all my love.

then after all the food and fun, we had to attend jap, which was rather anti-climatic but hey

I still love the language.

We always finish our freshly-filled bottles+another drink during jap hahaha

OKAY AND BLOGGING HAS REMINDED ME: I HAVEN'T DONE MY JAP SAKUBUN. sigh. gotta do it now I guess

2010-08-10T21:25:00.003+08:00

夜になると、
じしんそうしつをしてしまいました。
変な。。。

2010-07-31T17:01:00.004+08:00

hi dear,

I know you're the kind who doesn't like to confront people outwardly about things when they misunderstand you. So sometimes you keep it inside. And regarding stuff like this, I might not be the first one you come to, but I'm happy we're close enough for you to have told me about it. I'm not that great at comforting, especially over text haha, but you know I'll always be here for you (: Sometimes when people don't appreciate what you do, all there is to do is to get over it. Don't let this get your mood down for the rest of the weekend alright, give yourself some time, then forget the shizz. there's so much more to look forward to! <3

I am the master of procrastination.
sigh.

Pictures from last saturday, caught Nodame Cantabile with Joey and Vera, then went for Espressione (:

I think I felt a need to make up for the dry spell when I didn't watch any movies at all. I didn't watch Avatar, for one, when everybody else was gushing about how good it was (3D or otherwise). Amongst the three I've recently watched, namely Nodame Cantabile-The Finale, Inception and Despicable Me, I guess they were all quite good.

Only that Nodame was the one which left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Possibly because it's stretched for such a long time, from all 13 episodes of the drama, the prequel and finally the finale piece! Kinda feels like everything's finally had a nice heartwarming conclusion. Not that Inception wasn't good la okay, before all the people who are so crazy about it that they've watched it more than a handful of times kill me. IT WAS, but in a different sort of way which doesn't need more explaning, seeing that everyone has watched it by now (:

SHINee's Lucifer saranghae~

Haha, everyone needs more sleep, esp me :/

Yes, and this is where we went mad cos the lighting was fantabulous, and we started glowing xD

We went to get SHINee paraphernalia after that, totally made us mad high and happy cos' of the exciting array they have in JP la!

Dance Concert after that, last year in RG for Support School Activities like these~

DAWNNIEEE, I hope the chocolates were good :D

Miranda was there! Missed her so ridiculously much, mygod. Hardly realised how bad until I saw her and me and amanda enveloped her in hugs hahaha. Which reminds me, tomorrow is announcement of Tribune exco 2011 results. I know Tribune was kind of something I stumbled into in Year 1, but somehow it grew on me I guess. Meh okay, nipping this emotionality (?! I suddenly can't remember what emo-ness is in proper english) in the bud first before I screw up my mood for school tomorrow.

Oh, saw rachel lu too, MISSED HER BLOODY MUCH AS WELL.

Manxz, the emergency drill today makes it seem as if there's no school tomorrow, and reality, it hasn't sunk in yet -.-

2010-07-22T18:15:00.002+08:00

I refused to get out of the shower for a really long time today, cos' the water was so warm, and the bathroom got all steamy and nice. Frigging cold outside as a result of the day-long rain, what is Singapore's weather coming to!

Giovanni waded through knee-deep waters that day to get to school hahaha, I hope that never happens here in my neighbourhood. Alternatively, it could happen, then my parents, sister, grandma and I can be cooped up cosily at home for an entire day with a perfectly justifiable excuse for skipping school/work. Imagine snuggling warmly in bed with the storms raging outside and rain splashing on the windowpanes, ultimate comfort~ With warm mayonnaise tuna toast and pandan cake for breakfast, omg WOW I LOVE WHERE MY IMAGINATION IS BRINGING ME.

hahaa, but seeing that the possibility of that isn't exactly very large, and how I'm kinda like, mega-sensititive to the cold, I really would prefer less of the screwed-up freezing weather please.

2010-07-18T18:55:00.002+08:00

The main point is: Hairbands are my new addictions.
Especially the ones from Kim Robinson (uhm, little too high-end, I think I would need to have accomplished something fabulous before I reward myself with one from there haha) and Helen (more affordable but the really gorgeous ones are still 30bucks apiece~)

Haha, I swear this photo wasn't a self-shot.
My younger sis took it for me, and I had no idea but it actually turned out rather nice hehe
My face uhm, looks disproportionate cos' of the egghead angle, but heck, my hairband comes out really nicely :D

So, should I splurge a bit and buy another band?...

We had a takeaway modanyaki dinner at taka and watched Inception instead of Nodame Cantabile yesterday anws, cos' the latter was sold out. We were so disappointed we couldn't get NC seats anymore, but Inception was a real thriller, the totem kept on spinning in my mind whenever I closed my eyes on the bus home. :O Some serious mind-boggling stuff going on there, the director must've been really clear-headed and focused doing the show xD

Got home after midnight, and I was bloody distressed cos there was some guy staring on the LRT, which only had like three, four passengers -.-lll so I called Giovanni and we talked for a bit hahaha.

DON'T WANNA ATTEND SCHOOL TOMORROW.

2010-07-16T22:33:00.002+08:00

I keyed in my password for three times just now and didn't manage to log in to dashboard, how weird. Panicked for a moment before it finally worked.

Chem paper today was alright, no huge issues with it. It's not like I made any mistakes this time that I'd kill myself over; those are really bad cos' your mind'll get all full of "what if"s and such. Yes, I have no control over my mind nowadays.

Anyway, the main thing I need to get off my chest today is how I keep feeling a need or perhaps desperately a want, to be so much more these days. and I realised I don't like being mediocre. Because, what's the whole point of being me, in the what-am-I-living-for sense, if I'm just going to be average at everything like everbody else hmm? I don't know where the line between Great and Normal is, and idk.., I hope it's not some sudden craving for attention :O I'm pretty sure most people want brighter spotlights on themselves anyways, I'm no exception I guess. Just need to find more self-assurance/security or whatever thingamajig it is I'm missing.

Aiya I don't knowww. This is sounding like some mid-life crisis shit about goals in life that shouldn't even be hitting me yet, loads of years to go and uh, stuff to endure before that comes, right? But don't get the wrong idea, I feel plenty good about myself most times (aft height and weight taking, I'm incredibly thankful for my metabolism rate, for one), except perhaps for my perpetual worry about ___ and the occasional insecurities that pop up out of nowhere if I don't keep myself busy, LIKE NAO.

Going out for a night movie with friends tomorrow, we're dressing down (i think) so it's gonna be a cosy little affair at night haha. I hope Nodame Cantabile has a satisfactory conclusive ending sequel this time! Oh yeah, speaking of which, another little insecurity I have, I want to catch up with a few of my friends before we drift too far and cross that boundary where things never return back to how they were when we were closest. ohmygoodness, HOW.

2010-07-10T12:06:00.002+08:00

This sounds like typical teenage angst but I really do not like it when people mess up my room.

I don't mean messing up per se, but I'm one of those people who immediately know when anything in my room has been touched or moved from its original position without my knowledge/consent, and it irritates me to no end. Especially when people think arranging bits here and there their own way makes my room neater--it actually has the adverse effect, despite their very good intentions. Call me OCD or whatever but it's like mounting frustration whenever that happens.

:/

2010-07-05T10:41:00.003+08:00

I know I'm getting distracted and everything, haven't finished Bio and barely started on Chinese, but I've been watching videos of Rino Nakasone! She's the choreographer of so many Kpop dances, and besides Kpop, she dances awesome; her moves are like woah (:

Geting all excited cos SHINee's MV teaser is coming out tomorrow and she's the choreographer this time round, just like during Replay, which was <3

THEN I realised she also did the steps for
SNSD's Genie;
f(x)'s NU ABO;
Super Junior's No Other;
Taeyang's I Need A Girl,

all of which dances I really like.

Genie is well, classic, haha, and NU ABO has the most innovative steps (I think by just watching the performances the number of times I have, I know how to dance half of it/where to anticipate which steps already. considering learning it haha :D)

And wrt to the slightly more recent stages,
No Other has this seemingly-effortless choreography which corresponds extremely well to the overall theme of the song! (: can't help smiling when you see the suju dudes performing that song.
and lastly, INAG is just plain smexy hahaha :D especially the inkigayo stage, moves were executed so smoothly I replayed it a millionnnnnn times. The highlight's the couple dance cuts when the chorus comes on, go watch it if you haven't!

Cannot wait for the release tomorrow! <3
I've Tribune after school though, and zilch idea when it's coming out, hmm. If it does get released while I'm still in school, I'll sms Joey to find out how it is, which probably means I'll get high texting her on the way home, in the bus heh.

2010-06-28T18:56:00.003+08:00

I AM SO EXCITED
Comeback coundown: 10! (song release)

2010-06-25T22:56:00.003+08:00

SERIOUSLY
My parents and sister just had to go down to the supermart to get drinks, 3 packets of chips AND cook instant noodles at 11pm at night for supper.
So much for my determination to not eat anything after dinner.

2010-06-20T22:52:00.003+08:00

The song that has been on repeat for the past week.
f(x)- Dear Daddy (Sorry) link!

Oh, and coincidentally, it's Father's Day today too (:
Listening to this in bed late at night makes me think a lot about all that's been happening lately and everything, but I won't talk about it for now. Have you ever broken out in cold sweat just thinking about something that might possibly happen, and being unable to pull yourself out of your thoughts?

Sorry, so sorry, 이게 내 맘인걸요
마음이 여린 날 알잖아요 내가 더 잘 해볼게요
Sorry, sorry, I’m sorry, sorry, 이 말 밖에는 못해, yeah

2010-06-16T22:14:00.006+08:00

I'm falling in love with the magic of disney all over again.

There was a photoshop workshop today and I randomly used this image to experiment with background layoutting. Hahaha, obviously, I need a whole lot more practice with Adobe but that's besides the point. Now my love for disney is rekindled, I don't care what anyone says. :D

OH, and cute stuff below (:

don't you love it!
I wonder what happened to disney dvd movie marathon last year; heh, we better get around to it this time after exams and everything :3

2010-06-10T21:44:00.009+08:00

Even projects are alright when you do them with the right people
i.e.: people who have similar mindsets (a fun working atmosphere), goals (get the whole thing over and done with quickly so we can slack off sooner) and motivations (simply put, to score HAHA).

So yes, giwon and zhangrui are awesome people to work with! <3

Spent the whole of tuesday finishing up chem pt with giwon; we had all three meals of the day tgt hahah. and our video is the awesomest, it has so many rad chi and korean songs inside, most important one being Magic by Secret, seeing how the whole theme is on magic chemistry experiments anyway heh. Hope the teachers see eye to eye with us on this, cos I'm quite proud of our final product--all the other songs fit to a T too! I know, yeah, what are the chances a chem teacher is a kpop or chi pop fan, but whatever xD

three of us did math unit summary at the CCK library/Macs today, BUT I'm still pissed off with the disgusting dude who gave me a once over and then proceeded to wink dirtily at me ):<

I went WTH as soon as I saw it, and I should have thrown a look back, only if I weren't so shocked cos I was in the midst of talking with giwon as we were walking past him. Really couldn't contain my revolt towards his action. I MEAN, WHO DOES THAT IN THE LIBRARY SOMEMORE. gross ttm
Who thinks there are too many cheekopeks in Singapore, say Aye. Wearing shorts with sleeveless tees has no other connotations other than it's sweltering hot this time of the year, and I think it's only a problem when people don't dress up properly to attend events that have dresscodes or when you're in the city area, not when you're in a neighbourhood mall. seriously.

But oh well, that didn't spoil the day though (:
We ended at around 3pm then went off to buy hair styling products haha
anyway, can't believe two weeks of hols are ending soon sigh.

2010-06-06T16:17:00.005+08:00

I hate how I can't get myself to fall asleep again.

Haven't been able to sleep before 1am for the past week );
which might not be late at all for some, but then at the same time, my biological clock hardly allows me to sleep in past 8.30am, no matter what time I fall asleep the night before. Yes, even on weekends and holidays. Lying in bed, with your mind getting taken over by random thoughts that pop up when all you need to do is catch some shuteye is really really uncomfortable. If anyone has any idea at all how to be cured from this sleeplessness; (I wouldn't really call it insomnia cos I do fall asleep at 3 or 4am), please tell me zomg.

Luckily it's the holidays now, cos' I don't think I'd be able to survive a schoolday. Speaking of which, none of my homework is touched, I'm kinda scared about how thoroughly unmotivated I am now, I need some drive! All I do is read, go out and use the computer now~

okay, and random but I GOT MY SHOPPING FIX RECENTLY BTW (:
All hail the GSS, seriously :3

Went out with Vera, Joey on Friday trawling the Orchard district and then with my mum and younger sis yesterday. Felt a little guilty when I saw how much was spent on my mum's credit, which is why I'm not gonna spend big for the next coupla months. Not like I usually do anyway (:

Hehe, I even listed out my buys just now, to relive the feeling of emptying all my shopping bags onto my bed and it almost filled a page :O
Most indulgent buy has gotta be the 3 pairs of shoes, but they were a steal, and I always wear my pumps and heels for really long, even mum said they were worth it.

Oh, and caught up with Chenyin that day over brunch (:
talked about her decision on JCs, and it's great that she's come to a final one.

this was our snack that day cos' we couldn't wait till dinner at home haha
me and joey had that sinful chocolate cake/pie for lunch too. :D
ah, heck I LOVE FOOD
only thing I'll gain over this hols is weight haha

2010-06-04T21:37:00.004+08:00

Realised I haven't talked about Sportsfest at all, so I'll do it now (:

So, cheerleading.
It definitely wasn't an easy journey, with problems cropping up seemingly every single time something had to be done, be it our choreography, costume fittings, and even pyramid formations (not to mention OH hiccups) but Buckle cheerleading '10 managed to pull it off in the end. Don't know how many times I sighed, corresponding to the house capts about cheer but in the end, 3rd place is a really great achievement, & it wouldn't have been possible without this silly bunch. They're an amazing lot, and everybody counted towards the final performance during SportsFest. Not perfect, but considering our constraints, probably one of the best.

Plus, it was probably the first time I participated in a proper school-wide performance since I entered RG, and thinking back, it's kinda unbelievable that I wasn't even that keen on auditions at the start but just went for it anyway for the heck/fun of it, idk which, and everything just kinda yeah, how do I put it, started from there.

Love y'all. esp the juniors, will miss you guys next year

2010-05-24T19:13:00.004+08:00

I know there definitely is more pertinent stuff out there that has to be done, but haven't blogged in detail for a bit, and I don't feel like starting on philo aa as of now, so here I am.

Went for choir concert on the 20th for giovanni, she was totally in her element performing up on stage singing her heart out. YOU CUTE, JACOB! , and you're seventeen for 3 days now omgosh :D
Stayed back for a few hours after school with persa till it was time to go meet ade, jody at Newton Food Centre for dinner. I was supposed to be studying but in the end 3/4 of the time went towards watching youtube (we don't regret it at all hahaha).

Anyways, dinner was great, fiddled around with Jody's DSLR while eating; i'll upload the photos here when I get them. (Speaking of dinner, can I mention how much I'm eating nowadays, I'm hooked on pastries and bread now, of all things. But man, they are sinfully good). It was 11 plus by the time I got home from the concert though, what with the bus taking frustratingly long to come, and the next day was a school day -.-

Jap lesson the next day was just blah, where we had the weirdest paper ever, but heck, it's zero percentage, just hope studying paid off a bit. OH and there was this time, me and Joey were going up the stairs together and something so funny happened, we both laughed till our stomachs hurt, and I just gave up climbing altogether cos I was laughing so damn hard. Well, I guess I'm never going to use the word "janitor" unless absolutely necessary ever again xD

Okay, I think I shall start on Philo now. After that, the only thing that'll be on my mind will be sportsfest on Thursday. We can do this, buckle cheerleaders <3

2010-05-15T20:45:00.002+08:00

New favourite word: SMEXY~
:D

2010-05-07T21:11:00.002+08:00

I never knew doing something right could make me feel so wrong
shiz, gotta get over it by tmr.

2010-05-01T18:20:00.005+08:00

Just finished the last official episode of HB and I didn't expect myself to, but I cried and cried towards the end. I thought at most I would be tearing but once I started, I couldn't stop.

Ep 12 is really the best episode cos the front was so heartwarming and cheerful, but the back really made me (and vera and joey as well) cry, and especially when I replayed it, it felt sadder everytime )':

Waiting for ep13 subs to come out now, but I'm sure that'll be full of laughs instead, as always.
love this show to bits and pieces <3

NYNY and watched Monga with Dawn that day (:

Monga is a totally rad movie. We couldn't stop raving about it afterwards hahaha
And the good points of the movie go way beyond the eyecandy alright. The show has substance, I'm dead serious.

Oh, and the random artsy photo I took for photog IHG

HAHAHA omg it's so amateur but whatever, what can I do if the theme was "Thrilling" right?

This is what best friends are like!

On another note btw, I love people who make an effort to maintain a friendship :D

2010-04-20T20:27:00.003+08:00

I am so freaking hungry right now.
IDK WHY COS I HAD A HUGE DINNER AT 7PM.
and somehow the cravings are all homely food aaah
i need fried rice with lots of egg and chinese sausage, chicken soup from my grandma, that incredible tofu/chicken dish I have been asking my mum to prepare every weekend since last month, and all those other sides which names I only know in Chinese.

It's almost 9 now though, so i don't think I can get anything better than toasted tuna bread or instant noodles (straight from Japan :D) as supper sigh. Unless my mum comes home with those yummy pies from Don Pie again.

Ahh, obviously, this is why diets fail but I've long given up hahaha

2010-04-16T23:09:00.002+08:00

you know, i really really hate it when my plans get all messed up. after i went through all the trouble

2010-04-16T21:29:00.003+08:00

Effing hell if you think you're the only one who gets all the stress around here.

2010-04-14T16:19:00.003+08:00

The sleep debt I am accumulating in just this week is never going to be paid off.
I've never been one to live with consecutive late nights, and this just feels like its pushing the limits.
Okay, nevermind I WILL SURVIVE. just gonna tell myself that I will get my life back after next Tuesday.

2010-03-30T22:29:00.002+08:00

Finally went out today, after such a long period of time.
it feels weird going out till late at night on a weekday night though; not the kind to.
collected our certs and vera managed to exercise her self-discipline (and didn't buy any clothes), which she is also utilising in the aspect of diet-control -.- how does she do it hmm?

haha, alright. thanks for a nice day out joey and vera dears! xo

2010-03-27T13:18:00.004+08:00

ok, so what have i been doing since 9 in the morning today?
breakfast.papers.tv.allkpop.facebook.weareshining.moelcportal.youtubechannels.engsubbedvids.blogspot.
so much for Focus

2010-03-24T19:02:00.002+08:00

When people advise you to get over something, what do you respond knowing that you won't?

2010-03-20T22:29:00.002+08:00

s, idwffmm.

2010-03-18T19:01:00.003+08:00

I don't know what to make of this year's Commonwealth Essay's theme.
It'll be the first time I have difficulty hitting the word quota instead of exceeding it ):

2010-03-15T13:15:00.009+08:00

Had a blast on Saturday at Sg E awards 2010! It was really well-worth the twenty bucks cos' of all the performances that we saw. Granted, I went only with the sole purpose of watching SHINee performing live, but everything else was so enjoyable as well!

As a start, here's the best picture I managed to take of them on stage using zoom, gorgeous!

Chenyin and me met up first to collect our tickets from the Sistic agent at Lot One, but turned out we had to collect it one day before the event so nvm, we got it from the box office at Marina Bay instead.

Met with joey, jinghan, got food and then headed down to the floating platform :D
sneaked our fast food in, and we got more drinks at the site too.

and this is how it looks like from where me and chenyin were seating, unzoomed
not as awesome as the red seated/moshpit people who were goodness knows how close, but not bad all the same, since my camera could zoom in quite a lot, and quite clearly too :D

There was a light drizzle so we used the complimentary ponchos on our seats,

while my other two lovable friends wore it hehe

and here's the lovely screen right in front of us that zoomed in on all the artistes

and then joey got ~~obsessed~~ amused with this stage crew who has a quasi-jonghyun hairstyle, and took a photo of him HAHA.

At 7, a while before everything was about to begin, we got really bored so out came the camera

then around 40 minutes later, the real concert started after some dance crew performed

(they danced to Sorry sorry,爱不完,撑腰 and totally cheated us with "DJ put it back on" cos'we assumed they were doing Genie, but in the end they only used that single line to start off the dance steps to Sorry Sorry -.-)

and here are some of the celebrities (others are on fb), not chronologically in the order that they came out, but by artiste instead :D

赵又廷

梁文音. She has a beautiful voice, and I used her song for my Chinese project last year, so it was awesome when I heard it live.

黄鸿升! I always thought xiaogui was a mediocre, okay-ish singer but woah, he sang 搞砸了and不屑with so much emotion, I was blown away ~ Such a nice persona too :D

rainie yang(:

Oh, and FTIsland appeared onscreen for a speech too. The crowd screamed like maaaad, and I'm sure Chenyin was real happy to see them hehe

By2, who danced superbly, I've always quite liked their songs

刘玲玲 with an acapella group. They fused hokkien songs, bad romance, my heart will go on etcetc and it was seriously cool :D

I think she was channeling Lady Gaga in this horrendous thing of a dress, which has SPIKES(I turned and saw the esplanade, and proceeded to burst into laughter) and a freaking foetus at the abdomen area.

Chen Hao, the No. 1 good guy in HK dramas. I don't think I've ever seen him cast as a bad character before, or is it because I dont watch that many HK dramas anyways? Can see why though, he was a really affable guy on stage

Then JJ came out yes yes. His vocals were whoa.

some oher performances were a bit blah, so more photos of me and chenyin.

ROFL @ her face during yoga lin's perfomance, which was weird, but oh well, he was acting like himself on stage, so.

this is us very satistifed with oerformances so far, and me esp excited cos' SHINee was appearing soon.

broke my lightstick for them in anticipation haha, cos the glow effect doesn't last very long, so I didn't break it at the start. Didn't manage to get SHINee-blue lightsticks but the bracelet was the closest jinghan could get. thanks dear!

OKAY AND THE BEST FOR THE LAST! SHINee CAME OUT IN WHITE SUITS OMG OMG, everyone started to get ONTO their seats and the atmosphere was electrifying. Actually the crowd exploded when the host mentioned the phrase "'a group from korea'' but when they actually came out it was insane.

wave~

taeminnie with his hair the way I like it!

them introducing themselves in english and korean :3

but they didn't do self-intros though

bow~

yupp, they went back stage after that, and here's photos from when they were performing!

AAAAAH. they came out in black suits and jonghyun and taemin wore sleeveless shirts *faints.

does this remind you of anything? ;;

best shot of Onew, ~banjjak banjjak

AH, and kimjonghyun

ohmygod.

Apparently he was unwell, so he didn't smile much, but it's okay.

His vocals were as great as I expected them to be. x3

They performed Replay, Jojo and RDD

Is that not awesomely exciting!

And it was amazing, that's all I can say, partly because of how high the crowd was when they came out. Also because they're really fantastic on stage.

I loved:

-how Jonghyun delivered all his solo parts

-how Jonghyun looked on stage

-okay, and basically everything else about bling

-how Key's hair was done and his cute/fierce little moments

-Taemin's dancing (he really is the best dancer :D)

-Onew's smiles

and I didn't see much of Minho, but when I did, he was fabulous too.

Everyone was screaming along to their songs

(esp loud at all the random english parts like y'know, minho's kinda-sleazy sounding STAY, MY JOJO and LOVE, YES JOJO parts, and RINGDINGDONG, and ELASTIC, FANTASTIC, rofl )

and waving their lightsticks incessantly. Seriously felt like a real concert haha :D

WHOO~

it was kinda annoyingly rude of some people after their performance though, when they started leaving even though Eason Chan was on stage, just to catch SHINee elsewhere. Even when the host said SHINee would be coming back onstage, which they eventually did, and looked mega hot in their black suits.

Case in point would be the row in front of Joey's seat, which was a quarter empty -.-

Chenyin and me moved to take their seats since they were gone anyways.

SHINee saranghae

oh, and eason chan wasn't a letdown/anti-climatic either. he was in fact, very good, and well-deserving of his numerous awards. The audience was really high during his performance too, cos he's a great entertainer.

Yeah, then after the event ended, me and chenyin booked a cab to get us home cos the last train ended at Kranji, which is 2 more stops before CCK -.-lll

taxi ride felt so comfy after >5 hours of nonstop excitement and adrenaline rushes, so we talked for the whole ride with our eyes drifting into sleep ahaha

Well, doesn't it sound like funnnnnnn :D

thanks chenyin for spending such a great time with me, and joey/jinghan/dawne too (:

2010-03-10T20:43:00.002+08:00

Currently, feeling like an unproductive mess of emotions.

I do not want to be sick right before the holidays start, and even more so, before Saturday's entertainment awards show. Must have been cos' of the insane downpour this morning.

2010-03-03T16:25:00.003+08:00

Today, I am abstaining and I promise not to watch Hello Baby Ep 6 until Friday after Jap class, when the test will be over. Uh, do you know how much control this is taking me?

and...today was a rough school day. I was in such an uncooperative mood for the whole time cos' of a few diferent issues. Won't talk about it here, but I hate that feeling when you get so annoyed at something that it suffocates. Also, the other feeling where you get so lost in class that you start feeling helpless cos you don't know what to do, to listen on and let the confusion accumulate or to resolve the part where you got lost in the front and then be unable to follow afterwards. Experienced both today, wtheck. Thank god for the 407 people who were there to listen so readily. (:

2010-02-27T13:51:00.002+08:00

JLPT RESULTS JUST CAME IN THE MAIL!

The instructions were so confusing, that I think I might have forgotten to breathe until I confirmed for the 3rd time that i passed (thankfully) but I'm quite unhappy with my score. This makes me so much more worried for this year's JLPT since vera, joey, jiale and I decided not to sit for 3rd lang 'O' levels, but go for JLPT Level 2 at the end of the year again instead.

I really wanna boost my jap listening skills but how do I find the time and interest? If all the k-pop I'm listening to and the korean variety shows I'm watching are in Japanese, it'd help a whole lot huh, but sadly, that's not the case. Not that I'm saying I've lost all interest in japanese; I still think it's an awesome language and the three of us are even thinking of going to Japan together next time <3

Now, someone please salvage my inabilities in the listening sector of all my japanese tests.
I must stop freaking out whenever I hear ちょうかい.

2010-02-21T17:15:00.000+08:00

Think i need someone by my side when it's raining the way it is now.

2010-02-17T21:20:00.004+08:00

Ok, there's like, a shitload of homework to catch up on and readings to do sigh.

CNY was just a flurry of activity here and there, didn't feel very festive this year though, maybe there was insufficient pre-holiday excitement buildup or something. Day 1 and 2 over at paternal/maternal relatives' places and Day 3, ie yesterday, was going out with vera and joey.

Again. haha, but I still love the two of them. As usual, the efficient me booked the vivo ktv room and checked movie timings. Valentine's day(the movie) was so cute ;D and joey and I were dancing to all the kpop songs the whole time in partyworld heh. But!they should have the song titles in English zzz.

And(sorry, lack of good connecting words)..I bought yoke's 16th present from starbucks, I think she really likes it, I'm sure you'll find real good use for it! Got a free macchiato with the gift,which I accepted without thinking, so I was literally incapable of falling asleep yesterday night until 4am came. Somehow, I never remember that I am ultra-caffeine-sensitive ): Gonna join joey in her resolution to quit coffee.

Haha, anyways the real reason I'm blogging is cos' there finally is a computer in my room,omgosh. Thanks a bunch to my cousin who came over to fix everything up :D
Kudos to people who can look at a computer and go "Oh, I know what to do already." Haha da bombzx.

2010-02-09T21:51:00.002+08:00

Heck, I'm not gonna depend on other people next time anymore. Never once doubted my trust in you but turns out your priorities are kinda warped, huh.

2010-02-03T22:57:00.008+08:00

HAI.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIANYUN AND JIAYING! Hope both of you saw my texts, we're all 16 now :D

Went to 313@ Somerset and etc around Orchard with Dawn yesterday after school :D
We finally met up after so long, and it's just not the same when it's going out with your bestfriend. FUN. Yupp, so I bought a top and a headband yesterday, but I think I might be going there again on Saturday with my mum and sis to get New Year apparels. Dawn got so much stuff yesterday cos' she was loaded with her savings la! Got chenyin's epic present as well, hahah hope you like it dear! Dinner was really good, at Cine.

It was a day well spent, although inevitably I felt the guilt after that for going out on a school day till so late at night. But heck, it's not like I do it all the time. Sometimes I wonder if not having O levels is much of a good thing cos I don't feel the anxiety at all. Meh.

Anyways, pictures from Sunday!

Lot One will never experience such a situation again, mygosh.

Chaos when we arrived.

Oh, and this was where we felt very unfit cos' it felt like we had run a marathon. When it fact, it was only 4 storeys after all. We were running to be in the queue after the fans actually went to pry open the main door -.- Seriously. Messy hair & flushed faces...we don't normally look like that.

Then we got bored and decided to take photos, haha. As always (:

<--Thanks yokey for the necklace; it is gorgeous.

after a while...we got bored/pissed off with waiting

Yeah okay, and no pictures of us at the barricade cos it was insane up there.

Oh, and HAHA, taking photos in the lift with the SHINee poster was retarded. But hey, after we took our photos, quite a few other fans went in too and started following us. Yeah, spread th lovee.

okay, last photo and I'm off for a shower

(we all have herbal tea on our hands. xD)

2010-02-01T17:12:00.003+08:00

I applaud Joey for blogging a great post on the SHINee fansigning yesterday. Haha, she expressed EVERYTHING that I wanted to say, in her post :D

Photos soon :3

2010-01-29T23:20:00.005+08:00

I wanted to blog about how the autograph session @ Lot 1 went in detail, but I decided I'm too tired to do so.

Anyways, Joey, Jasmine and I didn't get the album (which has the entry pass D:) cos firstly, everyone broke the rules and the unofficial fanclub queue became the official one, which is simply just darn screwed up. UGH I'm seriously seriously pissed off with the people who didn't abide by the rules and everything but nevermind, I shan't elaborate more, because I don't want to use expletives.

And secondly, the album was priced at 60bucks, which really doesn't make much economical sense. Even if i did get into the line, I don't know if I'd had bought it. We met a scalper too, only for the entry pass, but aiya forget it. She was selling it at $40, and everything would add up to $100 -.-

But in the end, I still managed to see Jonghyun, Taemin and Minho from outside. :D :D HERCULEAN EFFORT I TELL YOU, propping myself up on the barricade for quite a few minutes.

Joey saw Minho and Taemin, but jas didn't manage to see clearly. Thanks for persevering with me, you two. There was all the pushing and shouting from a few uncouth fans but whatever. I've never gone to fansigns cos they're too much trouble but made an exception today for SHINee. It shall be my first and last exception, I think.

Ah, I heard a few others from rg got the autographs, congrats to them (:

Few pictures from Jap that day

And idk why but we decided to take photos to track our way home from MOELC.

@ the funfair (:

haha, other photos in which we're not just smiling nicely for the camera on fb.

Ah okay, time to start on Bio. I need to call Joey to get some stuff off my chest but the girl's phone is battery-dead. -.-

2010-01-23T23:36:00.002+08:00

Opticians are an extremely patient lot, especially when they deal with first-time contact wearers. Like me.

The lady at the optic shop was so friendly, she made me feel kinda relaxed putting on the trial lenses even though the thought process in my head went along the lines of "okay..okay, going in..ouch, SH*T.HOW DO I KEEP MY EYES OPEN HUH HUH HUH.hurrrrr" yeah, but alright fine, I still managed to put the lenses (for both eyes!) in and remove them twice under an hour, which is not bad, going by my standards. Especially considering that I expected one eye to take one hour haha, since I haven't even dared to use eyedrops since eons ago.

Now, all it's gonna take is practice.

2010-01-22T21:11:00.003+08:00

Yesterday after I got the news I was so excited that I couldn't even think straight and my thoughts started getting incoherent, and I couldn't concentrate on all the tasks I had on hand cos' somehow, everything except it became convoluted. and yes even after one day, as I'm typing this I sense that my train of thought is going all sideways and under. amg, what am I saying. I CANNOT WAIT. My fb status is now 1000 cos' that's gonna be the most important number for now, at least until next Sunday arrives and omgomgomg. Today, once I saw joey we both started to smile and a few seconds later it turned into this whole mess of highness and screaming and I swear, I love it when we both hyperventilate over stuff like this. The inexplicable euphoria then proceeded to spill over all the way into Jap lesson and omggg, I conclude that this insanity was what kept me sane throughout Jap lesson.

Cos it's totally worth losing all control for.

HAHA okay, I'm mentally exhausted now.

School was alright this past week, still can't really get into the tempo of things but I have an inkling that the tempo won't come back. Hopefully, this way of studying will work out too.

Anyways, I love sitting next to Gi Won. Having highly animated chats non-stop, asking her for korean translations, and getting through the subjects together with her is great fun. Verna's a nice seatmate too (:

And English AA is on a cliched topic (Singapore English), again. But it's oddly enjoyable leh, as my groupmates and I ponder over our own ability in diglossia and code-switching between English and Singlish.

3rd lang today was great. (:

But seriously, I regretted going down for break at 5pm. So, we were eating our food and basically, the canteen was a hive of activity as per usual. Then out of nowhere, we heard the "re-re-re" cheer booming into our ears, whatheheck.

Turns out some juniors were doing it right in front of us, in full view of everyone in the canteen. Idk what on earth was happening but imho, it appeared like they were trying to show off the cheer to the guys in their class, accompanied with some weird movements. I mean, I might have misinterpreted but who does that for no good reason? School cheers are meant to be used in occasions where we wish to motivate people, appropriately. As soon as we heard the cheering, all 3 of us stood up and walked away. Although it stopped after just a while, we were thinking, No way am I gonna be part of this. I really have no idea how to express the shock (?) we felt. Trying very hard not to use a stronger term besides shock cos I might be mistaken about their intentions, but I doubt so, when all 3 of us had the same stony expression on our faces after we heard it.

No offence, but grow up >:/

2010-01-18T18:58:00.004+08:00

Last year, I sometimes felt like I had the best damn friends in the world.

This year..., I've been getting that feeling so much more. And I'm really thankful for that.
It's about being touched by the little things they do, the sacrifices they make, the special way they look out for me. and of course, how they make me think, and smile, and laugh.
I realised, friends do pop out in the most unlikely people.

And for '09, I think vera and joey trumped hahaha
cos' we were seriously not close at all at the start of the year (no, actually, two of them were kinda, i think, cos of their being in the same jap class since a year ago), but BAM now it's like, I feel like I can tell them everything under the sun, and just be myself around them :D yay
xoxo we'll get through sec4 together this year alright.

261209

oooh, nice shot hahaha, I never realised all three of us were inside!

Of course, I also love the rest with whom I have so much stronger bonds with now (looking @ you, JODY :D only that now, you have to actually take photos with me so i can put your gorgeous face up here heh).

2010-01-09T21:15:00.003+08:00

Yay, thank you everyone for yesterday. My first day of being 16 was special because of all the things you guys did for me! Appreciate them loads.

There's so much I wanna blog about. Like how excruciating jap was yesterday cos of the new lesson structure, how pleasantly surprised I was when the newyorknewyork staff burst into song halfway while they took my brithday cake to the table, how I loved all the smiles, hugs, sms/fb messages, presents & wishes I got yesterday, how I enjoyed myself at Swensens yesterday with jap buddies sans jiale (you guys helped me survive the lesson afterwards, gosh) , and how overwhelming (?) first week back was, etcetc, but aaah, I won't.

Lots of stuff on my mind, and perhaps just the slightest feeling of not liking blogging as much as I used to.

OH, and bytheway, I am spazzing over the fact that SHINee's going to be on hello Baby Season 2! BEST MANXZ.

2010-01-02T13:47:00.002+08:00

Hi 2010, I'll try to make you a good year (:
For now, I don't have the slightest idea how it will turn out but yes, I'll try.

Have been enjoying myself at all the parties and outings lately, CCA chalet(tribune's), pre-Xmas (yoke's), Xmas (jody's), Boxing Day (vera and joey) and Dawn's birthday cum countdown chalet. Thanks to everyone who was there, especially the hosts!

I don't remember making resolutions last year, or even if I did, I don't remember them, so here are this year's. Not really tangible, but I'll gauge myself with my instincts.

1. Drive procrastination out of my life, make my level of determination go up. Particularly even more so for studies.
2. Think before I actually speak out. (doesn't apply to when I'm with friends, just y'know 'occasions')
3. Exercise food control.
4. Have a better temper.

Alright, now that's done.
2010, let's go!

2009-12-23T17:04:00.005+08:00

Tribune chalet was a blast, even if I couldn't stay the night.
Can't imagine sessions next year without our lovable seniors ):
Update more when the pictures come. zomg, I hope the photos that the others took while me and selene were limbo-ing don't turn out too weird. Selene and me are deciding to make limbo our icebreaker game next year for sessions hehe we're THAT good at it :D

Anyways, met Jas and Jia Ying that day wheeee
MY GOODNESS IT'S BEEN AGES
I love them ttm manzx.

Oh, and now I think Sakae buffet is the most valuable deal one can get ever. Go with friends who actually eat and you'll have a helluva time. Heck, Jia Ying even became a fan of Sakae Sushi on fb after that. xD

Look at how wide her smile is :D

ok, and this is me, as jasmine put it: insisting I must look chio in every photo and doing away with the chopstick.
HAHAHA not that I look very nice here also!

YEAAA and.. we wrote this note and sent it round on the sushi conveyor belt to wish everyone merry xmas (:

sushi advert!

We randomly went to the field afterwards and omg, it is definitely only with the two of them can I have so much fun standing awkwardly in the middle of a forsaken plot of land. (okok, just outside lot one actually but still.)

世界那么大！pose by jasmine who claims that she's only watched the show ONCE. haha don't bluff!

okay, and jas did this awesome GIF that showed us doing the RDD move but it's not moving now! go to her tumblr to see it :D

xoxo you two my bestfriends for 8/9 years.

2009-12-21T00:11:00.002+08:00

Why do I keep confirming friends on facebook thinking that I know them, only to realise that all they have is similar-sounding names with people I actually know? -.-

Okay, actually not a lot. Like, maybe three. But still -.-

2009-12-17T09:29:00.001+08:00

HAHA read the fine printttttt

yes, you're welcome jas (:

2009-12-15T16:53:00.002+08:00

MY LIFE HAS TO GET MORE EXCITING.
But... I kinda like being a lazyass at home too, so I'm in a dilemma whether to procrastinate doing proper stuff or not

So far, I can only remember my holidays so far to comprise

1. WEP@Peranakan Museum with Jody
discussing and talking about anything that came to mind, dancing/singing to random Korean, Chinese, English songs almost all the times we got bored, having lunch at different places everyday, persuading museum visitors to take our surveys, working the reception counter, etcetc. (ROFL, there was once we tried the fluorescent light function thing in the Lecture Room and everything white started to glow madly, and then I turned and saw Jody's __ glowing)

2. Bintan family trip
(: monsoon season took away half of the seasports that I wanted to do, what the hell. But still, had a rather fun time there.

3. Studying last minute for JLPT with Jap Buds and sitting for the exam
Seriously last minute. Like, we started on the day itself. I really really want my cert now.

4. Outings with Vera
Satiated a little of my shopping impulses. Really need to control my spending though, it's always like this, spend & feel guilty afterwards :<

5. Swimming with xy and other unsustained attempts at exercising

Hmm, yeah. That's about it. Otherwise, it's all youtube and dramas. Korean-related stuff is rather compelling :D

Disney marathon sleepover, come quick.

2009-12-04T22:58:00.002+08:00

Will blog more about working in the Peranakan Museum next time. (xoxo jody! Had a good week with you there, thanks for spending afternoon after afternoon with me :D)

&(*##%$#@ tired now after the Marshall Cavendish prize presentation at the Arts House. No thanks to the insomnia I've been having too. Managed to sleep only at four am yesterday, wts. Putting your head on the pillow and not being able to shut your eyes for more than 5 minutes has got to be the most dreaded feeling in the entire world.

And I guess all I want to tell you now is, don't smile so hard, cos' you know it's gonna hurt so bad.

2009-11-30T23:12:00.003+08:00

Cos' I don't know what happens when your heartbeat trebles and you're full of desire.

2009-11-24T16:05:00.002+08:00

whaddaheck.
I suddenly miss my hair 3 days after my haircut. Lag or what.
I'm pleased with the new fringe, but shit manzx, hairdressers never know when to stop when they're doing the back of my hair. I suspect they feel increasingly self-accomplished with every extra inch they snip off.

Most probably, when everyone else sees me they'll go "not much difference whattt", but zomg, it felt so much shorter in the bath yesterday. As a result, my hair is now in a messy bun so I won't sigh whenever I see it in the mirror.

Gah, but besides this, generally good mood today, somehow (:
Bintan trip's confirmed, for one :D

2009-11-22T22:12:00.000+08:00

Addictive songs;

2009-11-22T15:28:00.002+08:00

yaddayadda post

YAY! Bought a pair of strappy black sandals and a pair of dark brown sorta gladiator heels yesterday, in love with myself for actually agreeing to go to the mall with my mum and sis even though I felt like mucking around at home, then realising there was this mega sale at some shoe shop! :DDD

Yeah, before that I was quite aggrieved at Fox not having my size cos' there was this fantastic dress for beach wear and I don't have a beach dress, and now, the dress in my size is in some other chica's wardrobe just because she went to the outlet faster than me, yucks.

haha, okok ,i wrote the above two paragraphs so quickly I think there's bound to be some idk, subject-verb-agreement error or something. So anyhoo, food @ Cafe Cartel was surprisingly better than expected. And omg, when I was taking pictures with my sis, I realised she's starting to take photos in the same way as me. She is nine ._.

2009-11-20T21:00:00.003+08:00

ohmygee,
I never knew Blue from Blue's Clues was a girl!
I used to watch it all the time on Nick Jr. when I was younger and only NOW they tell me Blue's female?! Oh, and that singing Mailbox is a guy.

This is even more disturbing than Lady gaga's Bad Romance Video, rofl.

2009-11-19T20:34:00.003+08:00

Okay, typical day. Except that now my nails are pink (not like Barbie-pink, but okay-pink), and that I ate so much after gym, it's useless. haha

Was so fcuking disappointed yesterday you wouldn't imagine how bad I took the news, but it turns out that family Bintan trip is probably gonna happen after all (i cross my fingers that there're still spaces), even if it's 3D2N. Mum called in the middle of my movie just now, and it was like, ecstasy totally set in. Finally some quality time with a complete family unit (HAHA, that phrase just came to mind), which means daddy will be here :D

WHEE, so anyways, idk why i suddenly blog so much nowadays. At any rate, I see how bad my moodswings have been for the past few days.

from jody's tumblr(SEE, I READ IT! (: )

2009-11-18T21:51:00.002+08:00

Today went really well, except that my braces' rubberbands were being a bitch and I couldn't smile properly at all, nor could I chew my food in peace.

Arcade was actually amazing fun and vera and I totally love parapara and the basketball machine now. (Cos we cleared stages after stages on them heh)
I still can't believe we played that station where you throw balls at the screen gosh, in the end we were dumping ALL our balls inside in the hopes that one would actually hit the damn qianbian face which came out as our target, HAHA

Then, after that, we talked for such a long time, and we totally said same things at the same time :D happened to me so many times this year, feels fantastical when that happens. Which reminds me, Dawn why the heck are you so uncontactable nowadays, I shall call you later D:

2009-11-17T20:44:00.002+08:00

Aaah, I just typed out a whole chunk of text and deleted it cos' everything felt so wrong.

So many things on my mind, I'm lost as to what to consider first. What the heck is wrong with me man, does having more time on your hands make you this way? The things on my mind aren't even things I don't like doing, for goodness' sake. Some aren't even tangible things I have to worry about. So I technically have no reason to mentally block them from my mind, but WHY AM I LIKE THIS.

okok, nothing has become clearer to me after this post, but at least a bit of it is off my mind and actually written down now.

Hopefully, tmrw will be a breezy and unplanned day out with vera. and I hope thursday with the girlfs turn out good too. Somehow, there's no drive for shopping anymore, except when I saw the couple biker jackets on my cousin's shop just now. Like, couple tees but wayyyy cooler. Yeah, and they're couple jackets, which means I'm not buying them anytime soon no matter how fantastical they look. RAHHH.

2009-11-15T21:47:00.002+08:00

Grah, I am immensely disturbed by the Bad Romance video. I don't see why some people find it tasteful, hmmm. Well, just an opinion.

So, plan for two days later!:
Tomorrow's back to school for a while, then lunch at orchard i think, with the tribune peeps. Everything's not going according to plan, ugh. Just hope the issue distribution can get settled asap. Broke my heart to see Mir so sad that day when it didn't get out on time ): (Good thing though, is that monday means new eps of Hi My Sweetheart and Autumn's concerto! :D)

Tuesday's swimming with xianyun, and not sure who else is coming, but we planned to go at some unearthly, ridiculously timing, like 9plus, so that no one more than the necessary few can catch us in our swimming attire, HAHA. excited for it, haven't been in the pool for ages, only that now I gotta find a nice suit to wear :O

On a separate note, don't you hate It When People Type Everything Out Like This, Like Capitals Are The New IDK What? Totally gets on my nerves, it's even worse than twitting. D:<

Oh, and I was thinking too, what should I spend more time on during the hols? Somehow, I find it hard to concentrate on too many things, cos' in the end, to do just a single thing well, I'll sorta immerse myself in it, leading everything else to just kinda fall through. I really need a planner or something that sounds potentially-productivity-rate-enhancing like that.

我知道你对我很好
也不是说你真不能

RGS Nite was okay (:
But I felt sleepy at some points cos the tempo was really a little too slow. Or perhaps I couldn't enjoy the show cos' seats were ____ uncomfortable too.

Wanted to get Macs with Persa after that (do they still sell fillet o'fish at 11+pm?)but grandma already made soup, so ohwells :D
Anyhoo, already had an awesome time with her before that. We are exceptionally high at night, somehow.
Gosh okay, time for sleep.

Oh, and one last thing:
Screw the people who manufacture bite-sized cookies or whatever. It makes me eat so much, too much! Especially the Loacker people. Rawr.

"Guys, let's concentrate. Like concentrated orange juice."

Shit man, you know I'm tired when I say rubbish. This was at Tribune exco meeting today.

On another note, my life needs to be more exciting leh.

2009-11-10T10:09:00.005+08:00

Photo spamzx haha
okay, i randomly chose a handful of nice photos off fb :D

1. Bugis with Vera;

killer heels, heh

we were tired, really.

bought joey's awesome present (:

she has yet to take a photo with it round her neck for us, teehee

ok vera, this shop will be one of the options for prom dress next year!

2.Talent Vogue; didn't dress up for Halloween, hmm

yoke, jody, julia :D

dawn with her glittery performance makeup! good job that day again<3

3. Kbox/crashing Jas's house with the girls (her house is fengshui-themed, so much that I feel ZEN inside);

Star shape FAIL, it became an xmas tree instead hahaha

(and goodness, look at thengz's flat tummy!!)

the touchscreen system that we gushed over at first, but then the pitch of the music was horrifying >:

haha, okay that's all. Am so lazy to go out later.

cos' for today, I like staying at home in my faded tees and shorts, just letting the day go by.

2009-11-09T19:14:00.004+08:00

My Sister's Keeper was a major cryfest!
Although the entire story and plotline didn't compare up to that in the book's, I still started tearing at almost every sad part. Cried bucketloads and I kept taking in sharp intakes of breath to stop myself, but somehow, it was quite uncontrollable. Ahhh, I'm such a sucker for emotional movies. The sleeve of my jacket was wet after the show ended, haha. It was so emotionally taxing. (Not only me, the whole Sec 3 batch must have been crying too!)

oh, and, we pigged out a whole lot too, before AND during the movie. Finished all the junk we had on our hands. Twisties, Famous Amos cookies, Cuttlefish, popcorn, Coke, some cadbury chocolate-laden-ridiculously-unhealthy snack bars, ... you name it, we ate it :D After that, had lunch with Persa at the hawker centre. The store assistant looked incredulous when we ordered another plate of rice, haha. The look on her face was epic when we repeated that no, we really didn't want to dapao it ( “多一盘烧鸡饭，在这里吃的？!”)

Heh, and when I came home, Autumn's Concerto Ep 6 made me tear up all over again, although my eyes already felt real dry and tired from MSK. Most times, I can't stand it when misunderstandings happen in dramas, leading to rubbishy conflicts and separation but Autumn's Concerto's was alright (:

Then, to end it all off, I watched 海派甜心 Ep 2. It was okay; I think the drama's gonna get better in the next few eps. 雨爱as 片尾曲/插片曲; it's awesome. 3

听雨的声音
一滴滴清晰
你的呼吸像雨滴渗入我的爱里
真希望雨能下不停

让想念继续
让爱变透明
我爱上给我勇气的 Rainie love

久违的雨滴
一滴滴累积
屋内的湿气像储存爱你的记忆
真希望雨能下不停

雨爱的秘密
能一直延续
我相信我将会看到
彩虹的美丽

JOEY, hope you like the surprise vera and me prepped for ya, <3! YOU SEXY THANG hahahah;
VERA, you're getting yours on Wednesday, exciting or what.

pictures from all the outings, and class party soonish :D

2009-11-05T22:54:00.004+08:00

HAHAHA

I wrote on my wall that my dad's cool cos' he fb-emailed me,
and now he's not cool anymore cos' he typed "Sign out, DAD" at the end of his comment back on my status.
Seriously. I am so traumatised by that phrase. 什么年代了,daddy! xD
heh, OMG

cos' my family's cool like that.

2009-11-03T19:19:00.004+08:00

不要吻我，只要抱着我
不要爱我，做我的情人
把手借我，一天一分钟
让我还敢做我的梦，
做我梦中伟大的、微笑的

(emotionally-turbulent post)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
SHINee's so hot in the RingDingDong MV. !!! I know the song title is ridiculous but go watch it!(fyi, ringdingdong is the sound you get in your mind when you see someone you like, according to chenyin) Yesterday, me and chenyin were getting reallyreally high watching their youtube vids whee. I've never really liked any particular Kbands before but ifdk why, I think they triggered something in me hahaha. Like, omgomg, sexy.to.the.max. Youtubed them for such an insane period of time, and we just kept replaying and replaying bits where they did the super slick moves in all the live performances like the mouth swipe (OHMYFREAKINGGOODNESS, themouthswipe!!!) and the "butterfly" part! They were so different from the first time I saw them on 100% entertainment a year or two back. That time I was like, ooh cute!, but now when I watched one of the vids my breath literally stopped. Especially when JongHyun and Key came onscreen, ah! I think I've got a thing for guys who wear bling ear studs, hahahaa

Okay, I shall end my inexplicable light-headedness now. I still question myself why i'm publishing this post, seriously.
But I think I'll grow out of this soon-ish. My likings never last too long; I'm always told I get bored too easily.

In the meantime though, I am suficiently occupied! (: (: (:

2009-10-29T18:50:00.003+08:00

I do so love talking to my friends (:

Some are for having hilarious conversations with, some dispense worldly advice, some are for talking about everyday life, some are for ranting to, some are there for me to ask them some of life's most mundane yet important questions and the best few are just people with everything rolled into one :D Every single conversation under the sun.
I experienced that yesterday and today. Awesome much.

Okay, and I think I won't be going to school again tomorow. meh.

At some sessions today, random thoughts kept popping out in my mind, idk why
Like,
1. I like superlatives
2. a/parallel/ was awesome. In love with Roz (?) the dude character!

yeah, stuff like that.
OH OH, and now that it's post eoy, i've got more time to appreciate the beauty of things!
Have you ever thought how pleasant it would be to stroll outside in the sun on a not-so-crowded road with someone you love and feeling like you're part of a postcard?

Postcard-perfect, yes. That's how you can describe it. Doesn't necessarily have to be perfect-per se but y'know, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

AND
that day i came home early from school cos' I was feeling lousy from my fever, and on the way to the doctor's, I found myself walking on the pavement outside my block. There was no one in the vicinity, except for a few people hurrying about their own lives, and it felt soooo good to bask in the sun and really look at the place from a different perspective. Different in the sense that it looked more realistic than how it looks every morning from my school bus at 6am in the morning. Everyday simplicity, love it. It's a familiar place but was a little forgotten to me, cos I've been cooped up at home lately, and hadn't had the chance to walk on that stretch of road more often.

Suddenly remembered too how from Primary 5-6 Jasmine would wait for me, or vice-versa, on that pavement and we would head to school together after meeting each other. I think other than my mum, she was the first one I would see every morning for those two years. Yupp, her and her sis. And after school it would be back home via that route again. Haha.

Ooookay, gonna go call chenyin now. We were supposed to meet up for hssrp but she didn't come to school today! ): Hope you're alright!

Effing hate it when I need chocolate, only to find out that there's no more at home.
wts.

2009-10-17T15:11:00.007+08:00

Surprise, surprise. Blogger's so nice to me all of a sudden.
Consecutive successful tries at uploading photos!
I know posts are getting a bit picture-heavy.
Have been going out quite a bit.

Orchard, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 3D movie, impromptu hairstyling session with Jody and QiaoYoke was so exciting!
On a side note, I think I'm starting to sound overly high nowadays.
Relax, it'll wear off after tuesday (i.e.:paper checking days) .
Mr Tan asked me to enjoy it while I can, and I am taking that little bit of advice seriously.

Quirky shots with our newfound, colourful friends!

Teppanyaki. Where I tried around uhm 5 taugays.

At least I tried. But in the end, jody's vegetables, as well as mine, went to yokey.

Window shopping first before we go out on a shopping date one day!

Then, as we were walking along somewhat aimlessly, these 3 guys came up to us and asked us to be their models for some hairstyling thing. They said ONE HOUR, so we went along with it cos' we had nothing impt to do anyways, BUT IT TOOK 3, so we went home only at eleven pm

aah, it was a novel experience at least. teehee

...and this is how I will look if I become a taitai. xD

jody's dramatic locks!

they tried so many styles on us, I can't remember much, but I do remember a wig being attached :O

It felt like we were rich kids though, haha.

Well, if we grow up, and we do happen to be so, then let's relive this day in some salon again! :D

oh oh, and I feel sorry for yoke cos' she got a stylist who yanked her hair.

At first i thought she had a low pain threshold, cos I could hear "ouch" quite a few times coming from my right.

Turns out the guy was rough with her hair :/

chill dear!

waiting waiting...

had a free wash and blow dry after that; I almost fell asleep during the wash.

Then we took a final shot and called it a day.

KBOX + NEOS + JAP PAPER CHECKING + STARBUCKS CHAT= I am in love with Jap buds

Kbox first up;
We realised we sound pretty good when we (quasi) harmonise! :D
And we took a video there, thanks to vera and joey who were "videowhoring" while I was singing one of my songs.
Only that I look horrible in it LOL.
Best song of the day IMHO: First Love-Utada Hikaru

EJECT button rocks! haha, we got so high over it.

Idk why my fingers are in such a weird position. ._.

look drunk,yes, no?

I know some people think Neos are superficial, but personally, it is all in the name of good fun. The price might be a little steep sometimes, so yeah, just don't go to those expensive machines if there aren't enough people to split the cost! Main thing is that we enjoy posing inside the machine anyways. My little album of neoprints is getting so full now! haha, major sense of accomplishment.

<333

Paper checking after that!

I was quite disappointed with my listening results, it was such a fluke ):

must improve on that next year, def.

But overall results, still not bad. I guess. Jap is such an awesome language to me, I wanna score well for it!

Congrats to Joey who got skyhigh results (:

Starbucks was the last stop. I do so enjoy just chatting with joey and vera (jiale went back early :/ ) about anything under the world. We got much much closer over the past year, didn't we? Adore you guys for that.

2009-10-16T20:28:00.002+08:00

I REFUSE TO BLOG UNTIL I HAVE MY LOVELY PHOTOS!
QIAOYOKE, DO YOU HEAR MY S.O.S.? :D
VER AND JOEY TOO!

HAHA LOVE YOU GUYS
had an awesome past week.
school drained me so much during exam period that i 'd thought i'd forget how to have fun.
well,
No way. rofl.

Now we have potentially fun post eoy activities, like hmm. karaoke competition(?!), watching sister's keeper, etcetc
Not that we don't have stuff like our first-aid refresher course and mass briefings. Apparently, we're gonna have chem lessons too (!) on salts and acids. Now, you tell me why.

2009-10-13T19:03:00.003+08:00

I HAVE AN FB NOW

hahah okayokay major announcement.
but I'm still really confused about everything in there now. So I won't touch it much maybe, except to uhm invite/accept people, until one kind soul comes over to my house one day or I go over to hers, and she tells me about the strange things I can do in there. coughcough PERSA-major-fb-addict-ttm coughcough. Up till now, I have been clicking random names that appear under somewhere or the other. LOL.

Anyways, School's OUT! hahah, not really but I sure am gonna treat the next few days like they are (my brain is selectively pushing house practice out for now, at least) the hols. Watched 500days of summer on Monday after final 2 papers (which were the GREAT chinese and physics. right. I do not want to remind myself), and the outing was so freaking awesome.

Our jokes came on a second-by-second basis! HAHAH, it was good fun. Totally reinforced my point that no one else besides us can be the lamest BFFs in the world, and still survive each other for 3 years. Seriously, I'm gonna be stuck with her till JC and beyond(hmm, I think her exact words were "till death and beyond". rofl)

Persa: "I'm glad we came to get the tickets early."
Julia: "Huh, what chickens!"
Persa: ._.
:D and hmm, and our popcorn was spilt over cine's floor :/ More of my fault but hey, a few potential pounds lost hehe.
(in the ads onscreen right after I spilled the popcorn)
AD: Fancy a $2.50 popcorn?

and perhaps something really weird that happened during the outing was that I couldn't see the steps while getting down and I got kinda scared, cos everyone else could you know, walk normally, but all of a sudden I felt as if I was falling more with every step. The floor looked slanted, idk why. All I know is that I never want to get near a feeling like that again.

2009-10-03T17:34:00.004+08:00

was reading gio's blog, and got very amused thinking about our funny convos on friday ahhahaha

(situation: gio was gonna meet her friend who has an ultra cool name--Blossom!)
jody: eh, you think you meeting blossom very cool ah? I'm going to meet bubbles & buttercup & their dad.
julia: Nooo, you're mojojojo!
gio: but i already told blossom i'm meeting her!
jody: yah i'm going to meet the rest of the powerpuffs then kill them all.
julia: but the day will be saved, thanks to the ppgs!... then after that the heart shaped thingum is gonna come out.
gio: ._.
(situation: feeling a bit tense trying to cram 好词好句for 报章报道&情境文 into our minds after english exams)
zien: *talks really loudly + exclamations*
julia: zien, can you not have so many ejaculations?
joey: you do know that sounds wrong?
gio: JULIA..... ._.

BUT WAIT LET ME EXPLAIN ZOMG LOL
I learnt that word when i was in primary school in the context of a composition about a snatch theft! Seriously, so of course I won't 想歪歪 like everyone else once I think of it rightttt. xD

Look what dictionary.com says:

"Ejaculation (noun):
1. an abrupt, exclamatory utterance."

Obviously, I am not gonna put Definition 2 here, so.

2009-10-02T16:07:00.005+08:00

OKAY

I shall promise myself to start on revision after this post...

which will be on yesterday!

OKAY, so main point is

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY XAVIERA HO YOU LOVELY GIRL WHO IS SOMETIMES TOO HYPER BUT WHO CARES COS YOU ME JIALE AND JOEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT.

i just read joey's blog and your blog and they sound uhm kinda the same hahaha, and so will mine but wtv. haha.

anyways, revision before our jap eoys with joey and vera was okay but like, we kept getting so distracted from time to time! On the other hand though, I'm quite glad I actually did meet up with them to mug beforehand cos' I could ask the two of them all my questions and they could ask me all theirs so it totally like, for mutual benefit (lols, MUTUALISM. BIO BIO BIO).

kk, so we started at Macs, which was not too bad cos we covered quite a bit, but suddenly this RI guy came up to ask for our numbers which is mega ._. Plus he mumbled something about 5bucks and idk what so we deduced it was a dare thing, which is phail, with a capital P. Yupp, but shortly after that we were asked to leave cos of breakfast hours so we did, to the cafe at the library.

BUT wtfh it was the worst decision of our lives I assure you. Service sucked ttm. Seriously, will it kill you if we just move the chairs around a bit?! And besides that, the counter staff threw us downright dirty looks from the moment we stepped in. Just because we're students in uniform! I looked around and for goodness' sake, there were 3 housewives who took up 3 tables KNITTING SWEATERS, and another lady who was also studying with 2 tables and 1 drink which was practically empty okay!

and that's not all. When we actually went to purchase our beverages, we wanted to pay with a fiftybucks note and the cashier said in a very matter-of-fact and superior way that she didn't have change. I swear, that was the first time the 3 of us said the f word out together. Like, audibly. Besides that, the drinks were messed up too. gosh. Oh, and they left the counter empty to freaking SMOKE together. So it was unattended for a long while. I mean, you get the point, right?

After that was pastamania pizza for lunch and library again for more revision, but def not the cafe again. Test was alright, except for listening (I will work on my listening compre after eoys, yes i will) but towards the end I suddenly had this revelation that the year was coming to an end, only that it really didn't feel like it. ): I hate it when time goes by too fast

and then ajisen ramen for dinner! We were kinda exhausted though ...

Yupps, and that's that. this post is too wordy, didn't intend for it to be so, but I guess my emotions got the better of me.

Again, happy 15th vera! <3

doesn't joey look like she's holding the bowl on the poster ROFL!

We shared the ramen :D

2009-09-28T21:45:00.004+08:00

AAAAAAAAAAH
procrastination is f**king up my life.
shizz, I really don't know where all the time went

Anyways, I'm still in the midst of deciding on a Work Experience Programme application for nov/dec holidays. The previous time, I got to work at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, and it really was one of the coolest experience ever. Learnt so much from it. But i think i should do something different this time round right? Like, steer away from Human Resources again so I can get more exposure :D.
Although I don't know if that's possible, cos' like, I like working with people so much more. Beats crunching numbers lah at any rate haha.Human touch ftw HAHAHA. Reminds me of all the times I watch 娱乐百分百 and xiaozhu and xiaogui will say Touch~~ in that funny voice.

Okay, just got off the phone with jean. Geometrical Properties of Circles are freaking both of us out yucksss.

Oh, oh and before I forget, 3rd lang Orals today were not that bad! Can't believe I was the first to go into the exam room, major freaked when I knew.
It was actually kinda ...fun since the sensei was super kawaii (All my japanese teachers smile so much, they look so happy all the time!) and I used some of my better sentence structures. Even though I think my grammar was seriously screwed ttm at the start. :/

but it's okay, cos' I made my examiner laugh and humour's always a good thing. Especially when the sentence was meant in a humorous way, and properly taken as it should have been. Definitely not the type of laughter that we sometimes get from sensei when she describes us as "sugoi desune~"which unfortunately, has another meaning from Amazing. And that is Horrible.

Ok, that's all for today.
Geom prop of circles, english compre due tmr, zapping notes, and my favourite mooncakes are waiting for me. Grah, such a ridiculous/delirious rambling post today.

yokey dawn outing!

2009-09-24T22:10:00.000+08:00

Finally uploading the photos from yokey dawn outing in the hols. love you two, and dawn awesomeeeee cheerleading today! your hard work paid off I'm so happy for you! :D
and yoke, seeyou on Saturday!

In the cab. With the two of them around, it is obvious to say we had several eff faces that day. This was one of them. HAHA.

In Billy Bombers

You know I taught dawn a super cool trick that makes you look awesomely pretty cos' of the effect it makes, and she overdid it. resulting in a photo that doesn't leave much for everyone to see HAHA

another proof xD

yoke, me, dawn

i love the lights like crazy.

Julia: "ok, I'm gonna take the photo now.1, 2, 3!"

-yokey and dawn start running towards me.

damn phail okay hahahaa. they repeated that prank for like, 3 times.

Julia: "1, 2, 3.."

(few seconds)

Julia: "eh, why nothing come out!!"

turns out I didn't press on the button hard enough -.-

"Time, you cheated on me.
Where did you go when I needed you the most?"

Haha,I don't know why, but this thought came right after annotating John Keats' Ode to a Nightingale and Ode to a Grecian Urn.

I spent 2 hours on those two, can't believe it. Although some of the time did go into stoning and feeling reallyreally frustrated with Keats and all his big words.

Until I started understanding the poems somewhat, then it became kind of alright (: Cos' the rhymes were beautiful and all. Like I think I seriously did go "omg, Keats=genius!!" a few times

Ahh, poetry can be enjoyable if you have the time to appreciate them. Especially, when like me, it takes a loooong time to get them.

2009-09-16T20:58:00.002+08:00

I think that in the world, there are people who click just like that, just one knowing smile, just one word said in jinx, just one look at each other knowing that the other person is thinking of the exact same thought as you are.

Then, there are those who simply get along when they are in a group, but they can never find a way to connect closely with each other no matter how much time is spent together. And with this certain someone, I really feel that way, even if I try my very hardest to get closer. Perhaps it's our different ways of thinking that have already been shaped since we were young, perhaps it's some other factor that won't ever be realised.

Still, in the end, I feel like I've lost control of the relationship all over again, and we're strangers anew. Saddest thing is, I don't even have the capacity to feel truly sad about how beautiful how it all could have been. Can I salvage this?

cynthia's 21st birthday bash

2009-09-14T22:10:00.011+08:00

wheee! since blogger can finally upload photos, here are pics from my cousin's 21st birthday bash :D

wall of well wishes. haha obviously aft a while there wasn't enough space

with the birthday girl. HAPPY 21ST AGAIN.
I'm so tanned grah
and omg, i can't believe time passes so fast, seriously!
HAHA I suddenly remember the time I had chickenpox, and I had to go over to my cousin's house to stayover cos' my mum was pregnant with my sis and couldn't afford to get the pox :o

family,cake,cousin

Sis, frank.
i think my sis adores birthday parties with a passion -.-

If i'm not wrong, this was taken with an SLR. that was one impressive looking camera rofl.
like, we were attempting to get everyone in.
sitting in front of the cake from left: cousin cynthia,sis, cousin's bf, dad, uncle. behind my dad's my other cousin, and her bf HAHA

people from left: dad, me, cousin's gf, cousin yurong

Lastly, me, cynthia again.

awesome shizzles. Okay, i think i've taken a long enough break. off to do philo COI journaling and lit pt (yes, STILL)

2009-09-12T21:37:00.002+08:00

(2nd post)
I know very well there is a time for everything.
IMHO, now would be a good time for me to take flight
And wake up next morning in Japan.

okok, random much. back to Literature.

2009-09-12T19:43:00.004+08:00

(1st post)
Okay I am super vexed about Lit PT
I cannot write a poem for nuts.
Have been trying since today morning sheesh!

My favourite poem now is Joey (tam)'s MSN PM that goes
The greasy fry
It cannot lie
The truth is written on your thigh.

Take that Lit department.

haha, and btw, still can't upload my pix.
ZOMG o.O

2009-09-10T19:23:00.001+08:00

Blogger won't lemme post pictures again, so I'll do it tomorrow instead. Went to NUS today to meet Dr Neo for our research programme again, and he is funny. Joke of the day is private, but I swear it makes me feel like laughing everytime I think about it. Anyway, I slacked a tremendous lot with dawn and chenyin after that (from like, 9plus onwards!) and I got those sudden pangs of guilt that went "Oh freak/shit/mygosh/man I should be crafting my literature poem now or something".

Sometimes, I think that I'm a contradiction in myself cos' I can be super high-energy efficient one day but morph into a total procrastinator the next. Culprits are nearly always books or surfing the net, blah. Most of the time, the efficient worker comes out, luckily. At least, everything gets done before the deadline (not very high standards but the right-before-deadline expectation is for certain stuff only so..).

However, not that many people can stand/understand my somewhat obsession with getting things done fast and well. For example, whenever a new Math concept is introduced in class, I MUSTMUSTMUST understand it within this certain time (idk why, automatic biological clock rofl) otherwise, I'll get like, seriously vexed and anyone who interrupts me in the midst of that time will sadly have to look at my 脸色 (sorry dudes). Alternatively, I just switch off completely and think about the work at a later date, hahaa. i've been telling myself FOREVER not to go crazy like that but nope, doesn't work, and I'm still trying.

Uhhh,I should stop now. This is such a dreary topic to blog about. I wrote a whole monologue about issues like this on a whim yesterday . 4 whole notebook pages, I think I can write a thesis on it already hahaha.

OKAY START WORK NOW.

Now that my cousin's brithday party is over, I can show everyone the cute necklace my family got for her from swarovski!

and the price wasn't that atrocious either :D

Although I do think it looks better in real life with all the sparkles that come from reflecting the light. (I finally know why each swarovski outlet is forever furnished with romantic blue walls and possibly a hundred discrete lighting thingums.)

Party was quite nice and I hope you have a great 21st year ahead cuzzie!

You were reallll pretty on friday! :D

Pictures will be up soon.

And anyways I can't believe I got a hangover shizz. Only 3 small glasses of vodka, how on earth.

alright, moving on, pictures from yesterday will be up soon too, as soon as yokey sends them over. we were super unproductive yesterday, but at least I gotta catch up with clarissa, shanx, yoke. Always see Jody and Dawn, but of course I love them too hehe.

We had nasi lemak at jody's house plus batches of chicken wings for late lunch, then smooched around a whole lot. and after that, yoke, dawn and me didn't get to catch TTW cos all the freaking cinemas were booked even though we cabbed down to get there earlier. Billy Bombers was fine but I was full enough by then

And today, well, was just not pleasant. I hate it when people take others for granted. Not only me, but people I care about too. Consider for a moment whether you can do what you're demanding of others first. It happened more than once today, and sad to say, I was rather brought down by it.

Caught The Proposal today with pri school friends. Shan't elaborate much, cos I don't feel like talking about some parts of the day but it was heartwarming to see the girls again. All my love to you guys! and sorry we didn't take any photos xianyun and jiaying ): (We must meet up in sept hols, just the 6 of us alright)
oh, and pauline and ziwei :D and everyone else at the rooftop garden.

The Proposal is awesome ttm btw, thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone should go watch it. haha, even the group of guys seated behind us were whooping somewhat euphorically at around the end of the movie when the couple kissed. :D

well, i don't know what i was staring at

OKAY. Please ignore all obvious height differences between our resident netballer and us.

rofl.

testing shot (:

favourite candid picture of the day (:

jasmine does not have the capacity to come up with a sad face. does this look any sad to you?! we were supposed to be like, fake-depressed or something.

ohmygosh, can you at least look me in the eye and SAY IT.

no joke.

That day, I was listening to 冻结 again, and I realised how nice it was all over again. yupp, that's the best way to describe it. no fancy words, no nothing, just nice all over. I think it was one of the first songs that touched me at around P4/P5? Aaah, the memories. I vaguely remember Jasmine coming over and watching MVs with me over at my house (:

First verse is the best part (:

OHH, and xiaogui's new song has nice lyrics too. I don't really relate to them, but still..
the MV isn't out yet, but I watched a preview and it looks promising :D Although I'm not gaga over his singing, it's a good song (:

就让我伪装我嘴角不屑
让孤独乘以更孤独的两倍
允许我保留最后一点点特权
赦免我想念你的心碎

如果我眼神里闪烁不屑
可能我心里一半地已经残废
那一半跟著你走远了的那一天
这一半渐渐地瓦解
(see friends, chinese lyrics are meaningful ttm)

Anyways, I have so much work to catch up on since I went out yesterday to Orchard. I swear, I felt like I was going to school cos' my mum, my sis and I took 190 to and back (as if the 5 days per week isn't enough)

Went to the DFS Galleria and got my cousin's birthday present (:
It's so gorgeous, and it was the first thing that caught my eye when I walked into the shop :D
Chose a few other pieces after that but in the end, my mum and I unanimously decided to go back to the lovely first design. For now, the present's still under wraps, so can't reveal it (:

But as I said, it is dropdead gorgeous. So gorgeous that I sort of hinted furiously to my mum that she HAD to buy a similar present for my 16th next year hahaha.

and so many things are happening tomorrow haven't decided on the final plan yet. I don't even know how I mysteriously ended up at blogger while researching on our dear William Blake, oh no.

HOLIDAYS IN A WEEK!
My goal shall be to manage my time efficiently. Yes, I can totally do it.
ohmy, who am i kidding.

be yourself day/jap speech presentation day today (:

uhhh even though physics spa wasn't that easy and even though jap speech didn't go as well as we would have liked it to, i guess everything is still along the "worry about everything when results come back" line.
laughed a whole lot during the guys' performances. They were performing right infront of me and vera haha

and i wore the same shirt as that day cos i couldn't find anything else shopkeeper-ish [my role in the skit :D]! bleh.

haha oh, and people came in the most interesting costumes ever today.
nico was a pirate so we were saying jody could be the plumber of the boat [her dr martens ahhh], gio could be the waste disposal person [i dunno why, but so cute right!], and I could be the freaking MAST of the boat. HAHAHA. My shirt was so flowy and stuff, see. (by the way, jody and gio are SembCorp together LOL)

alright, jap buds photos up first today
class's next time

vera and me have a new secret, i swear it is the most ridiculous thing ever, and man, was i apprehensive before telling her but then I decided she would understand me, cos' we're like that. In the end, who would have thought she would have the EXACT same sentiments as me! AWW VERA.

Best Picture of the Day #1

Best Picture of the Day #2

mary and jiale

sory i got eff face here haha

no link and ultra no link (:

they say eyes are the windows to our souls

we have beautiful souls, vera!

P/S: OMG and i received a kinokuniya voucher from sensei today for doing my book review WHEE. joey jiale and vera, I'm 101% sure even if you guys don't say it, you truly regret not handing in a book review right! in your face lah :D

2009-08-25T21:32:00.003+08:00

HAHA anyways i just went to joey's blog, and I have to say, I'm totally reminded of all the funny events that happened during jap lessons WHEEE

starting with jiale's antics

Julia: So for our script right, those parts that we can't really figure out, we use translator kays
Vera: I CAN DO, I CAN DO!
Jiale: Is that a joke?
HAHAHA totally started laughing like siao after that

Vera and Julia: (hear maniacal laughter coming from the back) What's so funny!
Joey: omghahahaa
Jiale: (does her failed rolls eye expression look)
Joey: HAHAH, you know that picture right--
Julia: --that one that the guy is holding a wallet? (it means like, he's out of money)
Joey: Jiale thought that he was holding underwear!
xD funny or what.

Joey: Oh, it's 6.30 already eh
Jiale: Quick, say louder so sensei can hear! *proceeds to do exaggerated hand movement by shoving her wrist into the air and looking at her watch "6.30 already,6.30already!"

Sensei: その漢字、意味ですか?(What's the meaning of this kanji?) (points to 木)
Xaviera: KIMURA! (It is actually really just KI)
Sensei: (gives her weird expression. After a while...) Read this kanji (points to 母)
Xaviera: Chichi! (which actually means Father instead of mother ROFL)

haha omg so embarrassing I don't want to sit beside her anymore, lest people think I'm the one who's shouting out all these answers hahaha. but i still <3 you lah kay! :D

of course, there was the time I started using my englishy accent on all my jap sentences and also ALL the other times when we laughed at jiale's gao3 xiao4 expressions, but there are too many to put here, so yes. i shall end here

Nights everybody (:

hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
somehow, i think the evil is Vera hehe

joey's house's full length mirror that spans her whole living room. super useful for practising our skit :D

OH NO I CANNOT POST THE LOVELY PICTURES FROM JAP MEETING YESTERDAY ):
had an awesome ttm day ytd.

rehearsed like a million times, had so much fun in between doing our props and other random trivial matters, camwhored ALOT, went to northpoint and bought our first love--food (:

nvm, will post them another time, since vera nicely uploaded all of them for me <3

SS speech went okay today, although the questions at the end were a littleee difficult to answer. at least both invigilators and my group were real nice and everything (:

jody me and gio were hyperventilating like mad before our turns came. and we started speaking loads of rubbish haha, most of them of the weird/sick variety so, unfit for publishing haha.

k, and I'm really starting to slack nowadays. only got my chem ws done today gosh!

alright, i'll keep on trying to upload grr, and listen to my favourite new song

The stars are holding you, holding you, holding you, tonight.

黄灯你带我闯过
红灯勾勾小手

byebyebye 让你走吧
这一次我不要再当个傻瓜
打开车窗为什么
每个街角我都感伤

byebyebye 我累了吧
我不要让回忆吞噬了眼眶
而雨下的好大我关上车窗
算了吧
