i see it now; my name in lights

  • Sep. 16th, 2009 at 3:03 AM


you know what! i cant wait for fame to show in cinemas! i loved the first fame and i hope this one doesnt dissapoint, tho ive been watching a bad string of movies just cos i feel like watching a movie! never watched so many movies in a period of time!
actually i love all kinds of musicals. love the high energy coordinated dance steps, loud costumes and the music! its even sometimes inspirational! so looking forward to end of sept! and the past couple of months have been a different kind of great! :D



Everything you want to change about yourself, all the parts of yourself that you keep secret, its your power - its who you are.

 

i felt christmas today!

TYPED THIS A LONGG WAY BACK AND I DONT KNOW WHY I DIDNT POST IT.. i think cos it was messy and the last part didnt have pics, but reading it again made me happy so ahhh wth here it is!!! :))))



have been so happy lately doing every thing ive been wanting to do while i was having exams but couldnt
freedom never tasted sweeter
but seriously i think if i slowed down i'd realise that im freaking tired
cos i go on days without sleeping for 40+ hours or go for mambo+supper and force myself to wake up at 11
in fact i think im even more active and have longer days compared to when i was studying la
but its all good im not complaining at all
cos i know after this one there'd be no such long holiday anymore for a really long time and i'd be stuck in a stupid rat race
so yess this holiday is really important to make the most out of even tho i feel like im racing against time!


instead of looking for a job ive been looking for work clothes
not HUNTING down, but just whenever i pass by such shops i pop in and see what they have
and gosh i came to a conclusion that i hate office wear
gahh i cannot imagine dressing up myself every morning, 5 days a week in that sort of clothes
its sooo restricting and non expressive
its all buttons and ruffles, like u might as well suck the life out of me right now instead of dragging it out through my working life
thats the one thing i'd miss about school
dressing up however u like, as for me that would be a tanktop and shorts, which is oh so comfy and quick to put on and go
ok theres another thing i'd miss about school - the freedom of choice to go or not to go, and if i dont go today maybe i can make it up at his other lecture later in the week
yesss yess im WHINING about having to work fulltime

at the moment im missing a couple of people, bummed that certain people wont be around for my bday, waiting for people to arrive in singapore, and looking forward to trips out of singapore!

2 weeks into the hols and i havent quite met up with everyone yet - what have i been doing with my timeee!?
i think ive still got a whole list of people whom i havent met since early in the year and have been putting off/missing outings due to exams and telling them i'd plan for something after everything
i should get down to meeting them or else it'll never happen

i ended on thurs and met ferly after for banmian at the airport then went to explore tampone, and its always great to explore new places
also did mani pedi & massage later and some shopping..


fri: it was back to back activities which saw me waking up early for sentosa with sups, nat & yijun

and later getting to ryan's bday dinner & butter (which was pretty awesome cos ryan had connections for VIP entry and we didnt have to queue!!) fri also saw major riverside drama + major waterworks

@ butter

where it got quite wild and thot that drinking from cups was wayyy overratedPhotobucket


1st official week of the hols

mon: lunch with ferls, pei and jon at jons work place then major shopping with the girls in town and then dinner + the working ones

Photobucket


tues: shopping at haji lane & bugis with christine and ferly

Photobucket

wed: slacked the whole day at home in pjs and then spontaneously decided to get my ass out for mambo

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

thurs: hung out @ hv w alicia and shopped for unicorn party stuff for surprise birthday party at yq's house at midnight (this was the day i ate 3 dinners over 5 hrs... GAHHHH)

PhotobucketPhotobucket

fri: finally got round to packing up all my books and school material, actually i was forced into it.. my dad said clear up all ur rubbish before i get home from work or dont expect to go out partying.. that threat made me jump into action right after i woke up
Photobucket
its funny how everything fit in just 1 bag and that bag represented my life for the past 5 mths.. fingers crossed that i would never have to open that bag again!
had dinner with parents and then was supposed to go for yq's birthday drinks and butter thing but got lazyyy and was a big big pangseh

sat: ran errands all round singapore early in the day then rushed home to get ready for AMIES SLEEPOVER 09!
since it was my highlight of the week, it deserves a seperate post buttt knowing me that'll never happen so heres the highlights of the event! haha

Photobucket

1) everyone arriving late and missing the house at sunset/in the day AGAIN

2) fantastic dinner spread of pre starters starters to dessert & coffee (from exotic stuff like watermelon & moz cheese to tapas wraps to SALMON SALMON SALMON)PhotobucketPhotobucket


3) mini dessert cakes that trumped our dessert that we prepared but never got to do :(Photobucket


4) PROFILING : i think its a great exercise! learnt so much about everyone in that short period of time and like what chris said "helps us remember what we should not forget about each other " and there were some really hilarious answers

Photobucket


5)graduation scrolls from ferls w HSM quotes
PhotobucketPhotobucket


6)SHUTTER with people who scare easily.. it was hilarious for me and louie ok.. like SOOO FUNNY. with people (ferls) chanting easter bunnies at scary parts and people (jac) peeping thru her blanket at only 1/8 of the screen
Photobucket

7)bedroom games and room switching

8)sunrise
Photobucket

9)breakfast 
Photobucket

10) lazing around in the aircon room oblivious to the scorching heat outside, adding random people on fb and spying & gossiping always makes a good sunday afternoonPhotobucket

11) late lunch at siglap and it was the end of sleepover 09!
Photobucket


2nd week of hols
Mon: rebonded my hair.. i was having a self debate about this.. i didnt want to go thru the whole flat hair phase butttt my hair was getting way too unmanageable and thick and poofy no matter how much i layered it would just grow out and get all thick again .. oh but it was pretty fun! cos this time round things got done pretty fast and i didnt have to stay seated for too long! and the last time at NEXT i had 2 people fussing over my hair.. i thot that that was abit dramatic alr this time there were THREE people just to blow my hair.. i was soo tempted to take out my cam and make the smile at the mirror with me! but too bad i didnt know them and it would have been weird


Tues:tried to hide my flat flat hair from the world but ended up having to go to the vet..and i waited for 3 hours ok cos we couldnt get an appt in and casper was having the sniffles.. so thats 3 hrs of my life id never get back.. but i guess it wasnt so bad cos i havent been spending much quality time with casper since exams and post exams activities!


Wed: started the day out with shopping at marina square with ferls and pei then met rubin for life changing steak sandwiches, now no beef steak sandwich would ever satisfy me anymore. thats the problem of tasting the best! and we had 6 pm martinis to go with that too! it was weird cos when we started drinking it was still bright outside and then when we were done it was nightfall alr! haha so we walked to butter and the crowd was just ridiculous, they were such young punks and the queue was even more of a turn off. so suzanne came and we got into a cab and down to zouk we went. another thing thats ridiculous is PHUTURE. "i thot everyone was at butter! what happened!? where did these people come frommm! i want to dance to my rnb why wont these people let me!! hmm this feels like a replay of last week.. and i told myself im never coming here again.. and here i am today.. gahh i never learn my lesson!!"haha those were my thots while i was being shoved in all directions and basically barely moving cos there was no space at all! army boys army boys all overrr! i spotted a guy with zac's kind of hair tho!




Thurs: it was a kind of simple fantastic day, which saw some of us giggling at absolutely nothing at all. started the day early, waking up to make honey joy at ferly's, as usual i was late buttt i was early cos ferly told me to get there at 1230 and pei to come at 1! HOHOHO, i found that pretty smart, funny and mean all at the same time! it got pretty hot and stuffy and the idea of starting to bake got me all lazy! but im happy we got down to it, cos im muching on them now and its ohsogooddd! after that we cooled down in the room while i tried to improve my restaurant on restaurant city.. ughh everything i wanted to make my person or restaurant look nicer i had to pay pay pay, i think its abit depressing and reflecting too much of reality. then we were late but made our way down to PS to meet the working folks for dinner.. ferly was to meet jac and nic while pei and i went to meet louie.. the three of us had our very childish fun where we very annoyingly giggled and quite openly mocked people sitting at the next table (doing magic)- note to guys, as much as we appreciate u preparing those tricks at home before coming out to meet us, magic's not cool, it makes u look stupid and makes us sitting with u feel stupid and wished we bought that tee that said "i'm with stupid" the other day at the mall; we irritated the hell out of sales people; we stood in front of action city just standing there watching this very slow moving 3 min video about this father and son, which was supposed to be meaningful and touching, but we went on to laugh about it the entire ride up the escalator, i bet the sales girl who very passionately promoted the video over the product was not pleased; then we sat at the dessert counter being irritating cos we were plain indecisive, or rather fussy! i didnt eat stuff with peanuts and pei didnt like bananas so after alot of discussing and laughing we left cos there was nothing to order. we were like a bunch of crazy drunks la. we met up with the rest after and caught ghost of girlfriends past! it was a great romantic comedy, it was feel good and relaxing and definitely fitted the whole laughing fit thing louie pei and i had going on and at some points i suddenly felt it was christmas, probably cos of the snow in the movie, and cos the past few days have been so great.
too bad i didnt get a group shot after the show tho! but pei told me on msn that she has a snapshot of it in her heart. AW MUCH? haha

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
 

moonriver's my all time favourite oldie!
i just loveeee the lyrics
makes me all fuzzyyyy in the insideeee
2nd comes the way you look tonight
but is that even considered an oldie!?!

 

archu angels

  • Apr. 12th, 2009 at 1:22 AM

ok so i thot this was blog worthy since last year, when this blog was still active, i was blogging about david archuleta and his run on american idol half the time!
tho' we're almost half way thru the current season i dont exactly have a fav like i did last season
but yess adam lambert's the best of the lot!

so when david a was in spore on 7 apr i dragged ferls, pei & chris to come for the archuleta show case at iluma
actually come to think of it ferls suggested we go!
i was freaking excited
but looking at the pics now i think i/someone should get me a better cam
santa claus should be reading this tho i think dec is a bit too long a wait!


anyway pics from that night, post awesome fish soup and haji lane strolling!

waiting for archuleta to appear while fellow fans were chanting his name
i must say the chanting made it even more adrenaline pumping
Photobucket 
a HUGE thanks goes out to these 3 who were wonderful enough to support my paedophilic behaviour

one of my favourite shots that i got of him
imagine if the quality wasnt as grainy! it wouldve been a really nice pic!
LUBBS
Photobucket 

ok or maybe i shouldve been a better fan and started waiting at iluma from 8 am in the morning (like what some fans did)
then maybe i wouldve been closer to the stage and i couldve gotten more upclose and personal with archie ;P
actually im quite dissapointed i thot i was the only fan he had in spore, i mean other than chard no one i know is like really into him
but i guess from the turn out and the way some of these teeny boppers were acting, pushing & shoving us like that, i was wrong!
so on an archuleta high that night i researched more info and watched all the interviews and press stuff he did while in singapore
and apparently singaporean fans are like his 3rd biggest fan base!
he even said that he received a ton of fanmail from singapore during AMI
when he said that i was like !!!!?!?!??!
cos my mom suggested last year that i write to him but did i listen to the one good advice my mom gives me?
NOOOO i chose to ignore it and scoff at her idea saying that he's not even gonna read it
:( nowonder the saying goes "mom knows best"
oh oh and there were girls who printed tees that said "singapore has a crush on david archuleta"
i want a tee like that tooo!
i guess im not a fan enough
but i still think its pretty cool that last year this time i was watching and supporting him all the way on ami
and now i got to see him live... pretty damn coool!

oh yess and i didnt realise till about a couple weeks back that people still read this blog tho its more or less just collecting dust cos its linked to multiply and people get email notices when theres a new post!
gahhh i didnt know, and im sorry to all those who had to read those crappy posts that i typed out off the top of my head thinking no ones gonna read it anyway.
and i also realised today checking my gmail only after 3 mths that ive got comments tooo! i didnt even know!
ok so after this one, there'll be no more multiply notices.. i think i'll be cancelling my multiply since i dont use it anymore!
but i think this one is email notice worthy since its about david a!!!
so last one for the road guys:)

HAPPY EASTER ALLSSS

the bad apple

  • Mar. 17th, 2009 at 6:18 PM

ok im here cos im fuming pissed
some person at home threw out something of mine
and the person didnt even bother asking before throwing it away!
and this was not the first time.. only that the other times i closed one eye
i hardly blow my top but this was the last straw
her behaviour simply pisses me off and it was time she got the msg
i hate it that just cos shes too free shes just trying to busy herself doing stupid things like that that barely concerns her
its ok if what she does doesnt affect anyone
but it does and she doesnt even realise it
i hateeee her apathetic attitude and that she acts busy with stupid things
omg sometimes family members can really piss u off man
no wonder the constanants in family is FML
but then again i wouldnt bring my whole family into this cos its basically just that one person

ok and this rage i have is partly snowballed from this other thing too
people should just stop telling me how i should live my life . like seriously. stop.

and the hearts all over the world tonight

  • Feb. 14th, 2009 at 2:52 AM

i realised how much i miss sec sch and jc today
omg the acs intl students were really rubbing valentines day in my face
they were like damn high and all wishing each other and exchanging gifts
and everyone was walking out of school with a bag full of goodies - flowers, balloons etc
and not only that when i went out to holland v, omg even more students, acjc, cjc, sajc, some ijs
they were all in groups having dinner with gifts in tow
and then i grew sad
haha i remember how on we were for vday and all there would hardly be any studying and our tables will be filled with stuff
gosh those were the days
omg i suddenly feel O-L-D

we should bring this tradition back i say, maybe next year!!

wicker park alert!

  • Feb. 12th, 2009 at 1:42 AM

so today, wednesday's the last school day for the week!
i'm always drained on wednesdays cos of my back to back classes and basically school from mon-tues
so tired as i was i slumped in front of the tv for american idol
yes i know.. not again!
and because i was so lazy i slumped somemore and i chanced upon WICKER PARK
an awesome awesome show.. catch it if you havent already
i know im slow its been out for 4+ years alr and a friend has been bugging me to watch it but ive sat on it
but at least now ive watched it rightttt
actually what caught my attention was the opening song, maybe tomorrow, and then i watched on and i was hooked
definitely an extremely well crafted movie!

and the final scene. kills all over final scenes hands down. so many emotions and no words needed at all. omg just look at josh harnet's look. will melt any iron heart

so i included visual aid
Photobucket 

and a video, i would say watch it .. but u probably shouldnt if u havent watched the show.. dont spoil it for yourself
the video's for us all who have already watched it and have had our hearts melted



I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...


strange & beautiful, also from the show!

When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy.
But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't.

what are you doing new years eve?

  • Dec. 31st, 2008 at 4:27 PM

this was what i wrote in this space nyd 2008:

so 2008 is here
i'm actually quite sad 2007 is over cos its been a GREATTTT year 
i think i enjoyed almost every moment of it
2007 will be a hard year to top
fingers crossed, 2008 will be even better!



i think i never really look forward to new years
cos it means its the end of the festive (slacking & partying) period and back to work
its tiring thinking u gotta do everything all over again
12 months, 365 days
anyway im sad to say that i cannot say the same for 2008 what i said bout 2007
i wouldnt call 2008 great
yes i had major truckloads of fun
i tried a whole lot of things for the first time
some things i wouldnt even imagine doing
but then there was some downs toooo

what came with the down was that some important friendships got stronger
but i also realised that there are somethings that cant be replaced and i dont even intend to replace them
cos what existed at one point of time was something special
well i guess thats why they have the saying "we win some, we lose some"

theres also certain issues i've been struggling with
which i still havent figured out the answers to
such things are tuff and complicated
and until ive figured them out im not gonna do anything

i think ive also grown up along the way
the way i see certain things have changed

ive also not kept to my resolutions
i havent reviewed them but i can alr think of some that ive not accomplished at the top of my head

ok im making 2008 sound like it really sucked
no it didnt
i had greatest moments i'm tremendously thankful for shared with family and friends
u know i think it just comes down to this
it doesnt matter what u did, where u went, how u partied
as long as u have the impt people there with u to share that special moment with u
and that memory will last a lifetime, with the help of photographs as well! HEH
that is why i embarked on a tiny project where i reflected on the past year
and i want to thank each and everyone of you for being part of my 2008, and making it what it was


much love this new year's eve,
now i need to go out and get groceries for the dinner then party the night awayyyy!


 

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
