hey all =)
this is gonna be an ordinary event blog k =) fancy and interesting entries will come next time!
so the last time i blogged it was till the mani appt wit val... i think in the end we didn't mani, just hung around and chatted a lot =)) my kinda outing =) ate delicious stuff too =))
okays after tt, mon, tues, wed and thurs i went to sch... made it to all lessons on time =) So proud of myself=)) [i'm sure a lot of you are proud of me too! =D ]
okays then that night(Thurs) went to DXO to support shui coz it was the bash she organized =) many many thanks to kor for picking me frm my place then sending us back too! =D it was an ok event but i got 'drunk' after 2 measly housepours (we had like damn a lot of unlimited free drinks)... OMFG mannn So damn malu.. Then the guys were all like "lousy la u" kind.. Sian. =( But anws, pics are on facebook.. Go see. My face is damn red la. Stupid speed-drinking.
Hehe. Okays then friday no sch (i dropped ntr! =)) and so I went down to my tuition kid's school to pass her the cd of minus ones i burned for her for her singing competition =) I think a lot of you will know what i'm talking abt hehe. So sweet can coz the security guard dun let me in so she came out to see me then kept begging the security guard to let me in coz apparently her teacher said can.. But the security refused to grant me entry so yea I was like "it's ok" then my student was like all reluctant to leave but before she went back into her school she was like:
"Can I hug you?"
AWWWW! =)) Hahas i was like c'mere! hahas. Anyways then after tt met val, went for lunch (brought e 2 chipmunks along) at njc! Hahas. Funn! Then brought chipmunk back to her house, chatted wit her for pretty long and played wit her baby sister! Then went home!
Saturday was cool... Hahas. Met tong@bugis then went to the M5 place.. Talked to william, settled some stuff, then had a very interesting 1 hr music lesson!! Hahas. 18273645!!! 81726354!!! Wahahahha. GO BUY TOTO EVERYONE! Waahahah Then went home for dinner coz quite late le =(
Sunday was busyyyy.. I missed Church in the morn, then went to Toa Payoh for meeting at about 2pm, then dragged for a bit and i completely missed sitong's single pre-sale event! =( Boo. But I heard it was wildly successful so good on ya tong!! =) Hehs. After meeting I had to pia down for church... Then dinner wit family!
Monday after tt started out fine but HORRIBLE INCIDENT $(*&%#^%$#@ (UB ppl shd know) made me super pissed for the whole day (week/month/year)... Tsk. Anw then had tuition. Tues, Wed and Thurs were regular days, made it to all lessons on time (btw, no mean feat k coz my lessons are all morning lessons! 9am tt kind!) Hehes. Had cca on tues! And also had tuition as per normal!
Friday was a free day! (sorta) Sat was free but I went to church to attend mass so that I'd be free on Sun! It was the Children's Mass so very nice coz the kids are so super cute! I sat behind the Little Praisers (children's choir) and utterly enjoyed their chirpy sounds hehe.
Sunday! Slacked at home till it was time to meet val and head down to VCH to watch Hallelujah VIII! Hehes. It was really good, I liked the Warcrye of the Elfegens, the Disney Medley, the one composed by Benjamin Yeo (!) and one more I can't rmb off the top of my head. Hahas. The Saints' Alumni Band is a really tight band.. Got standard!! =) Met zhijia and liting... Had lotsa fun camwhoring hehe. After the concert val and I made our way to Marina Square.. Ate at Billy Bomber's (orgasmic!!) and then shopped minorly and cabbed home, all the while chatting to the nines!
Ok Monday! (yesterday!) Reached school on time, had tuition, went for meeting! Meeting ytd was damned good! I think we girls kinda bonded hahas. Laughing like crazy over a lotta stuff! Talking behind people's back, enjoying kolo mee, playing silly whiteboard games.. Zhi Shao Hai You Ni and Inside Your Heaven... And what was yvonne's? Haha anyways whatever it is, I'm looking forward to tomorrow(wednesday!) night's night of FUNNN =) And also the weekend's photoshoot!! Wheee~
Ok today!!! Yay I had a really great day today too! Made it to sch on time too! Cancelled tuition (first time this year) and stayed in sch after classes to study and chat wit annnnn~ Then we went down to the National Library for our Talk.. Super informative talk! Ann and I spent the whole day chatting and laughing and also being serious, but was good! Oh before the talk we shopped a bit at bras basah there - me & ann love the popular there! wahaha we're such dweebs. Anyways, long story short, it was a really great day!
Then yea after that got lotsa political stuff =( ohwells. I cannot say this enough: I will give you my opinion, and then if you insist on what you want, then I will give up. I think it's pretty obvious I've decided to let a lot of things go because in my opinion, things are already in an irreparable state. There's no use fighting over it. So y'all can do what you want. I will help if you need it, but yea, I won't exert my opinion over you guys anymore.
One thing though: You definitely don't want me to give up on other stuff (like sch projects or what haha) coz if I give up, i REALLY give up. Though it takes a lot to make me give up la. Goes to show. AAAaaanyways, I feel that at least now I can properly concentrate on my school stuff.. And NC stuff, and hosting duties etc =)
I'm broadening my horizons, spreading my wings! I've adopted LIB - Let It Be. It's in conjunction with IGU - I give Up! Hahahaha.
Anyways, a bit of thought blog here. Ann and I were talking and we felt that the UB education is seriously a very very very good one. I feel so enriched, well-read and deep after all these semesters! Hehes. Another thing we talked abt was something abt my financial background, which is interesting coz I have mentioned it a few times that I only realized I was in middle-upper class finance-wise when i went to JC. Yea. But I think my friends are getting the impression that my family is LOOOAAADED! We're not la. We're better off than most, but we're not using money to wipe our arses lol.
Speaking of which, remember something i blogged abt awhile back? Abt that extra fridge i discovered in the backyard? Well i asked my mom and realized what it's for le. It's my maid's personal fridge. $&%#@^!! I want a mini fridge in my room now. And a pair of skis please! Haha. Tsk la! It's huge leh that fridge. What a waste. hahas but ok la can understand why my maid needs one.
Enough $$ talk! I have one question for all of you who know what i'm talking about!!
THIS YEAR OR NEXT!?!?!?!
My parents have told me to submit the application for this yr liao.. But i haven't told them tt nx yr can.. so HOWW??

He's some doctor, pretty well established i think then yea v interesting =) Talk talk talked... Funny though, i must have some radar that alerts ppl to my presence or sth coz I've been getting into these freaky situations where random strangers like to just ask me things =(( It really weirds me out... Scares me too!! Haha I'm the queen of paranoia rmb!? =) Anw yea! I bought a book called Painless Italian =) When i'm done with this book I wanna pick up the Schaum(n) one =)) WHeeeee~ Can't wait!

extravagance...
is extravagance a way to avoid income tax or sth?
whatever it is, i think i'm kinda TOO oblivious to what's happening in the house... A few months (or so) back, I noticed that something was being moved to our backyard but i didn't really go see. I only vaguely recall thinking it's an extra storage cupboard or sth...
I just went down to the backyard and realized, it's a whole other frigging fridge! my fridge is already so huge, wth do we need another fridge for?? I opened it and there's like, just some ice in the freezer and some dried goods in the lower one.
Now I'll feel better abt asking my parents for a new lappie. AND PRINTER. Pfft.
Anyways, batu pahat tml! =) Yayness. And i'm having probs wit d gb script for nc =( Bleah.

uhm.. celine dion?
Just a song that's going round and round in my head:
Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
hehe. aaanywayys... Had tuition today then went to meet Zhijia and Liting for dinner!! =)) YAYYYY Hahas. Finally the reunion dinner that's been taking so long! Hahas. Anyways, we gossiped like xiao during dinner LOL. Lots and lots of new info and stuff! Hahahaha.

blogggg
ahh.. i'm starting to like blogging lol
anw, i just watched Bee Movie. IT'S GREAT =) Super nice. My kind of cartoon =) I love all the satire esp at the beginning =)
Event blog: For today - went out wit val to IMM and had a pedi done while she had a mani done! I quite love this place so i think i shall be back there soon! Hehe. Gonna do a paraffin wax mani nx! Yay. Val and I had lunch, and yummmmy dessert, and chatted a hell lot, which was great! Mini shopping and killer cramps also made appearances. Haha.
Then went to meet bina and yvonne and yufen for NC Meeting! =) And finalized some issues and stuff and yay! Have new deadlines etc. Hahas.
I just realized that I'm really quite capable of stuff just tt I needa be pushed to do it. SOOO.. I can actually finish a fic as long as I have someone to push me to do it! And I volunteer VAL for this! VAL! Wanna help me finish my first fic? The plan is easy. I've got to meet you every week with a new chapt ready as well as plans for the next chap! =) Of course at the first meeting I tell you the whole plot line and all. Whaddya think, bitch? I think it's perfect! And I could do the same for YOU and your fics!! WIN-WIN Situation!! YAYYY I'm suitably excited. Val say yes pls! Haha.
Alrighty anw apart from tt, hmm I think i spent New Year's Eve packing up my room =) Mainly my table la and it was just totally unplanned. I started off trying to pack one pile of books, then moved on to one drawer and in the end, totally cleared my desk and 3 of my 4 drawers and 1 of my desk cupboards! I feel totally accomplished. Ppl who've seen my table in all its messy glory will be pleased to see it now =) All neat and clear and all =) YAY. I love my table now!
Other events tt i have not yet blogged about: XMAS @ Mich's XMAS with fam Xmaseve wit fam, CampusReporter, and lots of stuff before tt! It's all lost because i didn't write everything down in my organizer =( Oh wells.. I rmb there was meeting up wit Bina, Val, some shopping, urgh... Can't think! It's too early in the morn!
Anyways, think I'm going clubbing nx Wed (090108)... Join us! Mich! It's MAMBO NIGHT! Hahas. But shui & I dun wanna mambo so we'll be trying to squeeze into PHUTURE. Hahas. Wanna come along let me know ok!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charity work: I'm thinking of reading to kids at children's homes? And perhaps organizing trips? Anyone wanna help?
Gym: XYZ! Anytime! Starting in 2 days (coz i'm having my stupid period) ok! =) Msg me?
OH YAH. Forgot to blog abt how accomplished I've been feeling the past month (December).. Haha. Results were out and I did pretty well (again, except for freaking SOCI which i totally don't understand coz I did ok the entire sem)... 2As and 2A-s and stupid C+ or C- ( i can't rmb) for SOCI =(( Thank goodness it's not a comms mod. Anw i might wanna retake COM240 or COM101 to make my GPA better. Apparently it's the combined GPA of the COMMS mods that are taken into consideration (granted u already have min 2.7 GPA for everything) for Honors. I screwed up 2 comms mods so far - 101 and 240... So yea We'll see how i do for the rest first.
Yea then apart from tt, I've been feeling accomplished about WORK too! =) Putting up NC was really satisfying... As I've said, it's really coz of the meetings and all that gets me on my ass to do work and get the stuff up so yea =) YAY. And also, I'm proud of myself for a lot of other work that's been done, AND not overspending during Dec (until the Xmas season, during which I just blew out damn lots of money on gifts haha)
So yea, I really wanna repeat my performance. Here's a jiayou to myself! =) Hehe.
Can't wait to see you guys soon =)
OH PS: Some additional awards:
Most Life Changing Event - LASIK!!! (As I told val earlier, i can be a counsillor for ANYONE thinking of undergoing lasik =) If you need to know exactly what it's like, yea I can let you know. If you're afraid of the procedure, I'm the best person to approach coz I'm the most cowardly person I know and I can give you the insight PLUS know how u feel) Hahas ok enough advertising.
Ahhh!!! I had some more FRIEND-RELATED awards to add but urgh! Forgot! Brain-is-not-functioning! Grr.. Alrighty will go turn in now. Ciao ppl!!

reformed..!
hey people =) be prepared for a verrryyy looooong thought-blog entry today =)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently went through a very serious renewal of faith that gave me another new outlook on life and how I was living it.
Before this incident, I thought I was alright as it was. I followed (haphazardly) the laws of the Lord, trying my best not to speak ill of others, not to bear hostile feelings towards people. While I kept to it, managing to not speak ill of 95% of the people I knew, there were still cases where I lapsed and bitched about people.. At the time I thought it could be condoned, it was alright to speak ill of these people because to me they deserved it.
I tried my best to give these people the benefit of the doubt etc, but there really came some times when I just couldn't because to me, what they did was utterly unpardonable. Whatever it was though, I never spoke ill of people that did me no harm... I was only incensed to bitch about people who were really testing my patience.. Apart from these people (very select few, lol.. you guys know roughly who la..) I kept my mouth to myself (to coin a phrase) and really didn't speak bad abt anyone. I removed myself so much that I couldn't really be bothered to speak badly of them la. In fact my first impression of people (after getting to know them) is usually that they are nice/good etc.. [ and some of my friends find me naive for that haha ]
Recent events were making me really upset about certain people... I felt utterly betrayed and all but anyways, that's all over. The point is, at a time when I felt very insecure and all, I just happened to pick up this book at Popular while shopping for assessment books for my tuition kids.. It's titled 32 True Stories of Ghosts Spirits & Gods by Andrew Tan... Given my liking for material based on supernatural happenings, this book drew me to it inexplicably. I read the synopsis (?) and was so intrigued by it that I brought it with me all the way to the cashier, having no intention to buy it at all.
I'm not the kind to buy this kind of books (compilation) coz they don't have a lot of re-read value so I was planning to ditch it before it was my turn to pay. Suddenly, however, this guy in front of me in the queue turned around and asked me if I had the Popular card. I said no, and expected him to leave me alone. Super surprisingly, he said he had one and told me to use his after he had paid. I was really stunned so I didn't respond, I just looked shocked with my mouth slightly ajar. Then he was like, "do you understand what I mean?" and I was all like (stammering) "Er er... y..yes... b..but... er, WHY???"
Lol. I practically screamed WHY at him, with my eyes open as big as they could lol. Kinda a frightening image haha. But anw, he just said, no lah just helping etc. Some kinda weird answer but sounded alright so I accepted his offer.. For a moment i thought I was on Gotcha! (I'm kinda paranoid that way) but he paid, then passed me his card, then i paid and he waited while i was paying, then i returned his card..
Anyway, the point of this whole story is, after he offered to lend me his card right, this small voice in my head was like, "Since you're going to get a discount, why not just buy the book? It'll be super worth it y'know. After the 20% discount the book is only $15! Not bad! Buy la" So yea I ended up buying the book.
While I wouldn't call this incident Divine Intervention, I'm gonna say it was pretty close to that. Whatever it is, I started reading the book. The tales were really chilling, especially those of the Pontianak stories. I started becoming really afraid coz of how realistic the stories were and how it seemed that everything around me was liable to land me into a case of possession or something to that extent. I was super afraid and after about 10 tales I gave up and refused to continue reading anymore stories. The author, however, had a very reassuring tone of voice. He kept saying how it was important not to have fear of the otherworldly beings and to have a strong faith and how a strong aura can help prevent possessions etc.. Then i started to get even more creeped out coz I was freaking SCARED then I was like "SHIT! I'm scared!! My aura is weak!!" Wahahahahah a bit silly arh! haha
So anws I decided immediately to go and read the back where he had a few articles about "What is an aura" and "How to prevent possessions" and "What is a ghost/spirit?" etc... Reading it gave me a HUGE reassurance. Also, a story about his encounter with a pontianak also helped in guiding me towards this new outlook I have. In the story, a pontianak was clawing at his door so he started meditating, filling his head with thoughts of LOVE for the pontianak, because he understood that it was just a tortured soul looking for revenge after a horrific death.. And though the pontianak didn't completely go away (it still lurked by his house)it cldn't harm him or his family because of the love that protected them.
A combination of this and a lot of other stories made me realize just how powerful LOVE is. It's not romantic love or sexual love. It's the LOVE that God has for us. It's the compassion for all living beings regardless of who they are or what they look like, smell like, say or do. This revelation dispelled all my fears at once. I was so repentant all of a sudden, that in that instant I saw what I had been doing wrong. In not speaking ill of others, I was simply holding my tongue, justifying what others had done so that I could forgive them. However, the way the Lord wants it, the way Jesus did for us, was totally different. He loved us regardless of all our sins, regardless of what we did or did not do. THIS is the love that is all-powerful. This love can make one become so much better a person. And it is this love, that made the Lord die on the cross for our sins, even those who turned their backs on him, who betrayed him.
And when I thought about Jesus dying to save the souls of even Judas Iscariot, the betrayer, I felt so ashamed. Here I was being all troubled and upset about people betraying me and not wanting to have anything to do with them when Christ Himself embraced them and died for them (in such a horrific manner) so that the Lord would forgive them and redeem their souls. I was suddenly moved to tears all over again by the Crucifixion. I felt so unworthy of Christ's love again, but He has given me another chance again. By showing me what LOVE could do, Christ showed me that all I needed was to Love these people, Love all my friends and family. Love all those I 'hate'. Love the people who harm be, betray me, upset me etc. Wish them well sincerely. This is true generosity of spirit.
Immediately after reading those articles and having this revelation, I prayed to the Lord, asking Him to constantly remind me of the selfless, all-encompassing Love that I had found. And ever since then, Life has been very different for me. Buoyed by this Love, I've been seeing many things in a new light. Gone is my resentment and doubt. Whenever I feel resentful against someone, God steps in and fills me with love, and with some difficulty, I find the space in my heart to overlook everything the person has done and love that person well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a good life i'm living now =) All that said, I hope that you guys won't speak ill of anyone to me le ok? It will be a temptation haha and I wanna steer clear of that. Though I'm quite sure I'll be pretty safe, I still don't really wanna hear mean things about people, alrighty?
(oh dear, suddenly lost track of what I wanted to blog abt... chatting wit tong now.. hehe)
OH YAH haha. Ok anyways. LOVE, people LOVE... That's gonna be my new mantra (tong chk dictionary if you dunno what mantra is! =P)
I know I left out something but nevermind, i'm gonna continue with the blogging first.. So anyways, it's the season for reunions and catching up with old friends and all and I've realized that I've a group of friends, whom whenever I think about them, my whole heart is just filled with love and joy. I really really love these friends of mine and here's a list of these very special people!
1) Shui!! =)
2) NINGRU!!
3) Zhijia!!
4) ANN!!!
Ehs, haha that's the group for now, coz I can't recall who else. Anyways, whenever I'm contacted by/talking to any one of them, I'm always so overwhelmed with joy and love =) I think these people truly bring out the best in me. In case you guys dunno who they are (coz their names don't appear so often on the blog) here's just a briefie on them. Shui you should all be familiar with =) Tuition de... Became super close! Love her to bits!! Ningru you all not so familiar with.. Knew her from MEP at ACSI =) Didn't become very very very close but still good buddies =) Ended up going to NJ tgt!! YAY! Zhijia also not a familiar name - she was my colleague at the-school-i-used-to-teach-at.. Heh. Again, not v close in terms of disclosing info (though she does know some stuff =)) but still good friends with the best intentions =) And finally, you guys should all know ANN!!! UB BESTIE!!! I LOVE YOU ANN =) Ann and I communicate v well, in my opinion. Heh. I really really love how we work at our friendship and really look out for each other and trust each other. Really love you to bits darling =)
However, we cannot forget some of the most important people to me... While these people don't elicit a well of emotions in me, they are still some of my dearest and most trusted friends! Here they go:
Val,ArhBen,Tong,Siyingzi,Edna,Mich,Eunice,Yarndink,Linz,BINANA, KOR etc!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was tong's performance thingy at muchuan =) She dedicated a song to me and made me cry ='( Here are the lyrics:
第一次见面看你不太顺眼
谁知道后来关系那么密切
我们一个像夏天一个像秋天
却总能把冬天变成了春天
你拖我离开一场爱的风雪
我背你逃出一次梦的断裂
遇见一个人然后生命全改变
原来不是恋爱才有的情节
如果不是你 我不会相信
朋友比情人还死心塌地
就算我忙恋爱
把你冷冻结冰
你也不会恨我
只是骂我几句
如果不是你 我不会确定
朋友比情人更懂得倾听
我的弦外之音
我的有口无心
我离不开Darling更离不开你
你了解我所有得意的东西
才常泼我冷水怕我忘形
你知道我所有丢脸的事情
却为我的美好形象保密
My gawd it's like the story of our friendship la! Hehes. I was v touched =) Title of the song is 一个像夏天一个像秋天... I love it =D
Tong and I have been friends vvvv looong.. Been through many quarrels, many changes of character and lifestyle... Stuck through all of it =) Though sometimes tong makes me feel doubtful or hurt (she's tactless one la haha)... I can still feel how important she views me as a friend... Sometimes when I hear about her talking about me behind my back, I feel v hurt, but it all washes away because I know in the end, she'll be there for me just like I will be there for her! I understand the importance of our friendship to her and just like the song, sometimes I scold her for doing some things wrong... But that will be it and bygones will be bygones =)
What I really wanna say to you (tong) is that you've come a long way (time to use simple english here.. hehe) and I'm very very proud of you =) You've achieved what you've always wanted and I am so so happy for you. And I'm very sure you'll do well and become very successful =) Be more confident and sure of yourself. Love yourself (not too much) and keep improving! Like the song said, "你了解我所有得意的东西, 才常泼我冷水怕我忘形".. Hope you understand why sometimes I'm not very very fully in support of your events or what, but i'm sure you know that's coz I need to be the one thinking of the worst case scenario for you just in case! =)
I remember once on our way to dinner/supper in gary's lorry, and we were enjoying the wind and laughing and screaming along the roads, I was like "就是这种感觉嘛。。 朋友就是这样。。" and you wholeheartedly agreed. But quietly agreed. You don't say much, but you say enough =)
我是夏天， 你是秋天， 但我们过的每一天都是春天！

Merry Christmas Folks! And God bless y'all =) LOVE

i strongly recommend a shopping trip (expenses covered by your parents! haha or not also can) haha. It really makes u feel good!
Anw i went to the Batu Pahat mall and shopped... They were having sales (I think is the Malaysia Year End Sale) and a lot of stuff was like, 50% off, 70% off etc!! And the stuff is really really cheap! I bought a total of 3 pairs of shoes for myself and 2 skirts! And toiletries =) Oh man, who's up for a shopping trip? My parents and I are going back in about 2 or 3 weeks to pick up our curtains =) Come along la! Bring 100 Sing = 229RM! Can buy quite a bit of stuff even if the Year End Sale is not on! My shoes were originally 49.90RM then after 50% off is 24.95RM, which is less than SGD$12!! And they're gorgeous gorgeous heels know! Show you all nx time man. I think the shoe-shopping there is better than Shenzhen =) Cheaper to go there too! Haha but shenzhen clothes shopping better coz WAYY cheaper! But their clothes (in BP) are quite nice!
Haha I'm rambling. Anyway the sad thing is, i didn't see any nice bags that caught my fancy.. =( Oh and they have CUTE salespeople! Haha which is kinda freaky coz I walked into a shop, then checking out the stuff, then noticed a salesperson and briefly thought to myself, "Hmm, cute." And then said salesperson proceeds to follow me all around the shop. I was like, so uncomfortable i left the shop LOL. Happened in more than 3 shops I went to! Though not as bad/aggressive as the Lot1 Bag Guy (*winks at val*), these people kinda just follow you around, and it's really scary! And the cute-salesperson-phenomena is not just limited to one shop! They really employ the Liking Factor a lot there huh. I like cute muds! Grr. Hahahaha.
Anyways, I had a fun time =) Travelling was fun too - we had great songs playing in the car and didn't have to make very many stops. Hehe alright I enjoyed myself.
See y'all soon! I'm sending out Xmas cards tomorrow so expect them by Xmas eve! (ps i'm only sending out 4 though. haha. no time le la!)
Lovelovelove~
i strongly recommend a shopping trip (expenses covered by your parents! haha or not also can) haha. It really makes u feel good!
Anw i went to the Batu Pahat mall and shopped... They were having sales (I think is the Malaysia Year End Sale) and a lot of stuff was like, 50% off, 70% off etc!! And the stuff is really really cheap! I bought a total of 3 pairs of shoes for myself and 2 skirts! And toiletries =) Oh man, who's up for a shopping trip? My parents and I are going back in about 2 or 3 weeks to pick up our curtains =) Come along la! Bring 100 Sing = 229RM! Can buy quite a bit of stuff even if the Year End Sale is not on! My shoes were originally 49.90RM then after 50% off is 24.95RM, which is less than SGD$12!! And they're gorgeous gorgeous heels know! Show you all nx time man. I think the shoe-shopping there is better than Shenzhen =) Cheaper to go there too! Haha but shenzhen clothes shopping better coz WAYY cheaper! But their clothes (in BP) are quite nice!

tis the season...
heylooo
yea haven't blogged in ages... surprisingly, even though it's the hols, i'm still so darned busy! Majority of my time's spent on work (NC!) and prepping xmas prezzies... I haven't even got around to the xmas cards yet!?? crikey..
Yea and I finished watching all 10 seasons of FRIENDS already!!! Oh man i miss the 6 of them =( Ohwells... It was a really really guilty pleasure, watching all those dvds... I'm not going to borrow dvds from vita anymore!! Really takes up a huge load of my time man!
I've got lots lots lots to blog about. Serious shitloads! Event blog, thought blog about friends, family, God, xmas... But so much to write and so little time! I've still got to get back to work on my work stuff and I've re-started tuition again. Took up my cousin (P3) and i think i'll continue with him.. He is an angel.. Well, he was the first lesson. I haven't had the 2nd lesson wit him yet so I'm not sure how that will go. But it is a pleasure to teach him, that's for sure.
Trying to get myself organized this year.. Heh. I've stopped using my trusty red organizer (which a lot of you should be familiar with)... But i found myself triple-booking dates with people on the same day so I must say, I've really got to start using an organizer again. And i've already got 2 new ones so I'll be using them - one bigger one for school stuff and the pocket one for noting appointments and stuff like that.
Anyways, i wanted to blog today mainly because I wanted to put up my wishlist for this year somewhere! So here goes:
1) A new bag! (2 would be great too =)) I know i kinda have a lotta bags at the mo but I want this bag that I saw - a red shoulder bag with gold buckles and zip and 2 front pockets.. So gorgeous! I wanted to get it that day but didn't have enough cash with me and was lazy to draw money so i took the namecard of the woman selling it (she doesn't have a permanent storefront) BUT I LOST IT!!!! ='( BOOHOO. She has 2 bags I wanna buy and I also took down the item numbers for both of them but but but! CRAP I LOST THEM! =( So if anyone can get me a gorgeous bag this christmas, it'll be greatly appreciated! =)
2) Perfumes - CK One Summer 2007, DKNY Be Delicious, DKNY Red Delicious & Sarah Jessica Parker Covet. I LOVE ALL THESE SCENTS!!! The last one, SJP Covet, is quite a surprise. I didn't expect myself to like it but after getting the sample from HerWorld and trying it after a day, OMG i really quite like it =)
3) SHOES!! I want strappy heels that are not too high.. They should have slingbacks so that i can wear them for church, work, school presentations etc.. Any colour will do, as long as they're pretty =) For your convenience, my shoe size is 37-38 or 7-8.. For shoes that are cut bigger, my size is 37/7 and for those that are cut smaller, it's 38/8 =) Btw, i do not like covered up shoes.. =) But if they're pretty, who's to say? HAhahaha
4) LAPPIE Hahaha this is for my dad to see. I want a new lappie.. Not Dell, preferably.. HP is the best! And while we're at it, I could do with a laserjet printer =) Hehe. This is a WISHlist people... I can wish for what I want right? Haha
5) NEW HANDPHONE!! I really don't like motorola leh... I want a new Nokia phone with 3G and good functions and camera etc!!!! Haha another WISH.. =)
6) Wah.. haven't really think yet.. Haha so yea anything else you guys get will be fine =) Preferably something i can use/wear etc Hehe!
Hehe.. Above is just a guideline on what to get me *wink wink!* hehe.
Got lotta reading material for this hols and stuff to do and make!! Hahas.. Oh yea and I finished learning Marriage D'Amour on the piano ytd! Thanks val for the score! Can't believe I learnt a piece in a day. It used to take me forever to learn a piece.. Think when I'm interested in the piece I'll be more motivated and committed to learning it la.. Haha. Oh and I'm learning Italian online =) But I've already got the basics so now i just need to converse in it and widen my vocab!!
Btw! Who wants to take up a tuition assignment - 2 boys, Sec 2 and Sec 4.. English and Literature(for the Sec2)... At Namly Road (6th Avenue area).. I'm not taking these boys (much as I would love to seeing as it's my fave subjects at my fave level to teach!) coz they're my cousins! Right now i have some people who have offered to take it up but eh, i wanna be a bit more stringent with my criteria... People I actually had in mind included my NJ classmates.. Haha but anyways, if you're interested in it do just tag or email me=)
Just a little incentive (or disincentive?) to take these boys up! Their uncle is Electrico's Daniel Sassoon! (if i'm not wrong) So yea, band geeks, eat your hearts out! Haha. In other words I'm also kinda related to him but yea, only seen him last time quite a few years back and had no idea who he was. Haha.
Alright enough blogging! I'll event blog next time! =) Stay tuned!!

finally!
i know, i know, it's been loooong since i blogged... it feels like it's been ages too!
the week that's just gone by was perhaps the most tormenting week in the history of my life! Work work work - schwork, cca, work, etc! In descending order of intensity of work, of course. Schwork's just been killing all of us la. So i'm sorry guys i haven't had the chance to even sleep properly, not to mention blog!
Hmms.. I s'pose I shd blog abt my bday =) Well it was a series of simple events la, nothing big =) The BIG THING was big on meaning =D I enjoyed myself a lot, thanks so much you guys for everything =) Then Singing Club celebrated a bit on Tuesday, which was nice too! Thanks for the flowers n sweets! (pics are up on facebook, go see!)
Speaking of which, I've become super addicted to facebook since signing up last wednesday i think. OMG It's awesome la! I like it coz it allows me to interact wit my friends more efficiently and in more varied ways than friendster can! I love that I can hug my friends and give them gifts over Fb to show that I still hold them in my hearts! Ingenious!
I'm in sch now, and I dunno when the person is going to come in to close up this LT that i've holed myself up in (wit my lappie) so I think I shan't blog so much for now. So will leave it here first ok! See ya all soon

sharing..
pounding headache now... grrr...
alright i last event blogged on Wed... Ok think I had a rather slack wed coz esl got cancelled last min so i didn't go down ta sch.. So all i did was have tuition i think.. Yepp... Thursday... Went to sch (was late for 337 dammit! coz i overslept coz wed night i pia-ed my reading summaries till late late) and had lessons.. Had lotsa 337 meetings.. Yea.. Then basic lesson at night for cca.. Then cca meeting.. Sian... Then went for dinner... Thought up name for our competition.. Yepp...
Friday was an ok day.. Went to sch for ESL.. After esl i happened to see tong n tai an outside some lt.. Hung wit em for a short while, then went to meet darryl to discuss our 883 thing.. Yayy funnily enough, just by being a finalist we both got the 500 in cash and 100 in T3 hampers le!! Wahaha goodness knows i need it. Wahaha =) Yayy am happy =) Then met suyee to pass her my timetable.. Then darryl and I saw Louis walking around sch so he joined us then we went table-hunting for awhile.. Then sat down and the guys tried to study.. We chatted for a bit, then I left to meet Greg(student!) at Yew Tee Mac's... Hahah we talked a LOT... Oh and this other student Li Hao also joined us.. Talked talked talked.. Yepps.. Then I left to have dinner at home! Slept early coz I was so exhausted.. Almost wanted to sleep at 10pm but went to watch Ghost Whisperer wit my momsy =) Even my dad knows my mom and I appreciate watching this show tgt - he called me out of my room at 10 to say "Your mommy is watching the ghost show already!" lol.
I slept right after the show.. Was so uber tired.. Slept till 2pm this aftnn.. Heh. Felt alright.. A bit sluggish.. My parents actually asked me ytd if I was free on Tuesday for dinner and well, my Tuesday's booked so nope.. I told them tt today was fine for dinner (coz I have plans for Sunday and Monday and Tuesday..) so yea.. They asked me if i wanted to join them in the afternoon to bring a client around, i declined and ended up watching the MUST SCREAM TV on Star for a few hours.. LOL. It was a SIMPSONS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL MARATHON. Lol. Was good. Super stupidly hilarious =) Mom made (instant)noodles for me with (fried)egg! YUMMM!
Alright then went to meet them at church for dinner.. Was expecting a dreary dinner having to entertain dad's client.. But it was ok all in all =) We had a nice dinner at Palm Beach at Boat Quay... After dinner we took a nice Riverboat ride around Boat Quay and Clarke Quay area.. I tell ya, it was like visiting another world =) Singapore River area is so gorgeous at night! Dad took a whole lotta crazy pics! Hahahaha. He's so enthu.. Dad's client (lucy) and I were really amused by him.. Haha oh yea Lucy said I'd make a great New Yorker and strongly encourages me to go work/study in NY.. Haha she'll be posted to Colorado soon i think.. Right now they're in Diego or sth.. Yea.. LOL. She thinks i'll make a good tour guide too. WAHAHAH. Man, ppl need to stop telling me this kinda stuff (about my speaking etc) coz I'll feel like I'm not good at anything else.
On a side note, tong thinks I should give up on singing. FEEDBACK PLS
Ok anyways, after d riverboat ride we walked around for a bit and then sent Lucy back to her hotel then went home.. I ended up having a pounding headache till now.. Grr..
Dad asked me what I wanted for my bday.. Haha! At that moment I realized I didn't know what I wanted! Actually, I didn't have anything i REALLLY wanted/needed! Haha. I was contemplating asking for a new lappie or printer or sth! But I've just come to a great idea! I'm gonna ask my dad to just pay for me to go rebond my hair and get a mani n pedi done =) Yayy. Will go do my hair tomorrow! Heh. Not sure abt my mom. Let her get me what she wants la!
Anw! I wanted to blog some stuff coz I want to put these things as my msn nick.. Haha. Look arh! "When your dreams turn to dust, it's time to vacuum" LOL =) Val says it's v tongue-in-cheek. I think so too! But i just thought it was funny but a bit melancholy at the same time heh. Ok great i can change my nick now *goes to change my nick* Alright! It's now "public enemy no 8745640J" hahaha. It's random ok! RANDOM! hahahhaha don't anyhow anyhow think that is my nric no lol. i just picked the no out of thin air ok
hmm what else did I wanna share abt? hmmm...

Wahaha =) Yayy am happy =) Then met suyee to pass her my timetable.. Then darryl and I saw Louis walking around sch so he joined us then we went table-hunting for awhile.. Then sat down and the guys tried to study.. We chatted for a bit, then I left to meet Greg(student!) at Yew Tee Mac's... Hahah we talked a LOT... Oh and this other student Li Hao also joined us.. Talked talked talked.. Yepps.. Then I left to have dinner at home! Slept early coz I was so exhausted.. Almost wanted to sleep at 10pm but went to watch Ghost Whisperer wit my momsy =) Even my dad knows my mom and I appreciate watching this show tgt - he called me out of my room at 10 to say "Your mommy is watching the ghost show already!" lol.
I slept right after the show.. Was so uber tired.. Slept till 2pm this aftnn.. Heh. Felt alright.. A bit sluggish.. My parents actually asked me ytd if I was free on Tuesday for dinner and well, my Tuesday's booked so nope.. I told them tt today was fine for dinner (coz I have plans for Sunday and Monday and Tuesday..) so yea.. They asked me if i wanted to join them in the afternoon to bring a client around, i declined and ended up watching the MUST SCREAM TV on Star for a few hours.. LOL. It was a SIMPSONS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL MARATHON. Lol. Was good. Super stupidly hilarious =) Mom made (instant)noodles for me with (fried)egg! YUMMM!
Alright then went to meet them at church for dinner.. Was expecting a dreary dinner having to entertain dad's client.. But it was ok all in all =) We had a nice dinner at Palm Beach at Boat Quay... After dinner we took a nice Riverboat ride around Boat Quay and Clarke Quay area.. I tell ya, it was like visiting another world =) Singapore River area is so gorgeous at night! Dad took a whole lotta crazy pics! Hahahaha. He's so enthu.. Dad's client (lucy) and I were really amused by him.. Haha oh yea Lucy said I'd make a great New Yorker and strongly encourages me to go work/study in NY.. Haha she'll be posted to Colorado soon i think.. Right now they're in Diego or sth.. Yea.. LOL. She thinks i'll make a good tour guide too. WAHAHAH. Man, ppl need to stop telling me this kinda stuff (about my speaking etc) coz I'll feel like I'm not good at anything else.
On a side note, tong thinks I should give up on singing. FEEDBACK PLS
Ok anyways, after d riverboat ride we walked around for a bit and then sent Lucy back to her hotel then went home.. I ended up having a pounding headache till now.. Grr..
Dad asked me what I wanted for my bday.. Haha! At that moment I realized I didn't know what I wanted! Actually, I didn't have anything i REALLLY wanted/needed! Haha. I was contemplating asking for a new lappie or printer or sth! But I've just come to a great idea! I'm gonna ask my dad to just pay for me to go rebond my hair and get a mani n pedi done =) Yayy. Will go do my hair tomorrow! Heh. Not sure abt my mom. Let her get me what she wants la!

I think so too! But i just thought it was funny but a bit melancholy at the same time heh. Ok great i can change my nick now *goes to change my nick* Alright!

Wednesday, October 24, 2007
hmmmmm...
today my horoscope said this:
I'm gonna watch CSI Miami and CSI later.. Heh. Thank God for cable.. I'll be pia-ing my reading summaries at the same time though! =)
Eh, i forgot what i wanted to blog abt.. Hmm.. Well, just now I received a call from the 88.3JIA FM people... Actually tt day during the guitar performance thing the 88.3FM ppl were in school and a bunch of us tried out (very spontaneously) for some competition thing. I didn't really have any clue what it was about but it was interesting so i just tried lor... then today got called lol.
maybe my true calling is hosting/deejaying/emcee-ing. wahaha. So anyways, Darryl and I will be representing SIM in the Campus Reporter competition.. Do support us by voting =) Once voting (for us) is open i'll post the details up here =) There's online voting, website voting and one more i can't rmb for more details and to check out our current competitors, do check out http://www.funkygrad.com/campusreporter ! Oh and do tune in to 88.3FM on Wednesday 21st November at 10pm =) Darryl and I will be coming to you LIVE from the 88.3FM studio wahaha. Exciting sia.
Well I was reading a really interesting article and here's a part of it:
I've witnessed many people adopting singlehood for a myriad of reasons. I certainly would not put it down to a lack of opportunity because friends can be made and networks can be created anytime, anywhere. Neither would I think an age gap of 6-8 years is a deterring factor for many people.
I'm on the phone wit tong now and i'm about to go watch CSI later so yea.. Ciao ppl..! (oh yah remind me, i wanna blog abt Heroes!)
Friendster Horoscope for October 24, 2007
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)[?]
The Bottom Line
The warmth you feel from friends will keep you in a very jovial mood today.
In Detail
If a blur of social obligations is working on your last nerve, get some alone time today. Treat yourself to a quiet dinner out, or rent your favorite movie and just chill. It's not selfish to want to be by yourself ... it's healthy. Social hound friends may not understand this inward phase you're going through, but they will accept it. Be honest with your needs (like you always are), and as long as you keep your people in the loop, they'll be cool with your conduct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So that's what I did today (and part of yesterday).. I had some me-time.. I watched a lot of tv after doing some sch work.. Basically watched Heroes SIIEP5, Numbers, Everybody Loves Raymond, Ellen, Oprah (well, mainly ellen but just the corinne bailey rae part of oprah) and Amazing Race the ALL STARS edition.. Ytd i went for cca in sch after tuition... Been feeling a bit unwell lately.. Needa detox and eat healthy!
I'm gonna watch CSI Miami and CSI later.. Heh. Thank God for cable.. I'll be pia-ing my reading summaries at the same time though! =)
TV is therapeutic I suppose =) I cried a bit when watching Oprah.. It was just so moving to see Corinne Bailey Rae's mom being so proud of her... And I was just thinking, my own mother would never ever be so proud of me. Sigh. Ohwells. Let's not talk abt tt.
Eh, i forgot what i wanted to blog abt.. Hmm.. Well, just now I received a call from the 88.3JIA FM people... Actually tt day during the guitar performance thing the 88.3FM ppl were in school and a bunch of us tried out (very spontaneously) for some competition thing. I didn't really have any clue what it was about but it was interesting so i just tried lor... then today got called lol.

Well I was reading a really interesting article and here's a part of it:
I've witnessed many people adopting singlehood for a myriad of reasons. I certainly would not put it down to a lack of opportunity because friends can be made and networks can be created anytime, anywhere. Neither would I think an age gap of 6-8 years is a deterring factor for many people.
The greatest challenge of converting an acquaintance to a life-long partner lies in the journey to become part of his or her life. Every individual would have been part of a circle of friends and comfortably leading life in his/her comfort zone. It does not only take desire, but genuine action and effort to gain the trust and acceptance that you can be part of his or life. It is about touching the heart of the person you love; it is about creating emotional dependence between 2 individuals; it is about shifting mental models; it is about taking somebody out of his or her comfort zone of existing friendships to lead a new life with you; it is about making him or her feel comfortable communicating with you; it is about giving hope to each other.
It is not about opportunities or the lack of them. Neither is it about age gaps.
Interesting eh? I can really see the truth in it, especially the parts i bolded. Heh.. Yea well.. Food for thought. Think abt it!I'm on the phone wit tong now and i'm about to go watch CSI later so yea.. Ciao ppl..! (oh yah remind me, i wanna blog abt Heroes!)

all geared up..
for yet another miserable week ahead...
i can utterly foresee a dreary and miserable week ahead for myself le.. it definitely hasn't gotten off to a good start. ah, fei4 hua4 shao3 shuo1 le... let me get down to business, like recounting the happy stuff =)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So anyways, here are pics of events in recent weeks, namely the SIM Wellness Wk combined performance between Singing&Guitar clubs.. I sang a total of 4 songs onstage - Hotel California by The Eagles, All You Wanted by Michelle Branch, Ai Ru Chao Shui by idunnowho wit JL and More Than Words by Extreme wit Gerald.. Here are the pics =) Click on them for larger version!
Gorgeous Sam Lee and myself =)
Myself and Shumina! She looks utterly lovely =) I like this pic=D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright! On to event blogging abt today! Coz I'd already blogged abt ytd (Sat) right? So anws, this morn I woke early, made it just in the nick of time to do my 9am reading at church, hung wit mom and the canteen ppl like aunty esther and kat for awhile after the mass was over, then i left for home.. Went to sleep coz the wind was just tickling me and closing my eyes. Lol. I fell asleep on my still-unmade bed. Wahaha. Then woke up late for tuition, and knn (*&%$ kenna my cramps.. Sian.. Then went to eat medicine then went for tuition, after tuition I went home to eat dinner tt my parents dabaoed for me.. My parents had a wedding dinner to attend and they asked for permission to bring my bro, who was flying off later to Taiwan for 3 weeks..
So anw, after dinner I went to meet my student (from the sch i used to teach at) at Yew Tee Mac's.. Helped him wit his Eng for awhile, then we went down to Fajar mac's to meet another 2 of the boys.. Haha. Ok so d ppl there were Steven, Greg and Howie (i insist on spelling his name like this)... Wahaha. It was UBER FUNNY CAN!!! These 3 silly gangsters arh! Wah liew.. Damn funny. But I'm quite proud of them. Their standard of Eng has improved a lot!!! Actually they were quite ok all the while, but they are more familiar with how to use their vocabulary appropriately now.. Wah but it was damn funny. They were studying for chemistry (which i'm abysmal at) then we were discussing reduction and oxidation and how it was abt gaining or losing electrons and shit.. Then there was this discussion abt this qn:
Then I kept writing down all this coz i wanted to blog abt it later so I kept going "Pause pause let me write this down" in between mad giggles... Then after tt Howie was explaining to Greg like, when you lose an electron it's oxidation or sth like tt then he and greg were arguing abt the charge of the ion then howie said sth like "No it's plus minus minus plus"
!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!! Oh man! I laughed like shit then i took out my book and wrote " + - - +" then howie was like "You stop writing! I sue you ok!" LOLOL. Then after tt Greg still din understand so they kept going round and round until Howie finally understood how to explain to Greg so he was talking then Greg was all like "Wait i just have one question" then Howie was like "You shut up I got one example to show u" LOL! I tell ya as a bystander, it was damn utterly hilarious to me la!
Ok then after tt Greg was asking why the overall charge of NH3 was negative or sth like tt, then we were just saying saying saying, then Steven just said, "It's Ammonia what" then we just burst out laughing again la! Like, ok it's ammonia but it was damn random la!! Then Howie was all like, This is different, this is ammonia meh? Then we were like yesss... Then Howie went "No la! Ammonia is NH4 la idiot!" Then Steven was like "Fuck you la NH4 is ammonIUM la NH3 is ammoNIA la!" LOLOLOLOL Then i kept writing all this down and Howie was like you write!? etc!
Then after tt Greg was asking abt whether i can teach them Geog.. Then I was like yah can... Map reading is ok.. Then because before tt we kept talking abt results mah.. So i was just saying Geog is ok.. Then Greg asked "You when free(to teach them Geog)?" then I didn't really digest the qn so i said "I got A2"
LOLOLOLOL Then howie was like "HAO LIAN LA! Ppl ask you when free you come n say what A2! You better write this down! Your own words!" so LOL i put it down in my book too LOLOL.
Then ok somehow Steven ended up quarreling wit his gf over the phone, it was quite scary coz y'know bengs, they really don't care who hears them so he was basically screaming down the whole of Mac's. It was the kind where if i was not actually sitting wit them, I'd be damn scared to look at Steven coz he sure say "See what see!? Nv see people quarrel on phone before is it?!" kind and proceed to pull out a parang or sth. LOL. But I was wit them la so no worries. Damn funny leh halfway through his call he was like "You think I cannot get girl is it? You want today we break tomorrow I go with another girl show you. " then he came up with this damn classic line: "You happy tomorrow I go with another girl show you la! You not happy then sua"
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMFG I tell you when we heard this, Me greg n howie looked at each other with really "HUH!?!?!" expressions on our faces then Howie was like makin gestures at Steven and kept mouthing "No LINK" LOLOLOL I tell ya! I was laughing like mad la!!! Steven was like am-qio-ing over the phone! Wahahahahaha Then I kept noticing this little boy who looked really scared wahahah then i kept asking the guys to diao him WAHAHAHAHAHA. Then the worst thing is turns out he was Steven's primary sch classmate!!! Wahaha then howie got a shock coz he looked so young but he was their age! (Sec 4) LOLOLOL Damn hilarious la.
Then Steven's phone ran out of batt so he used Howie's phone to call the gf... Then he cldn't hear his gf properly and then released another classic line: "Your phone is stammering"
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Guess what Howie's response was? "You want earpiece?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a really fun and funny experience la lol. I'm glad they're so much more motivated to study nowadays =) Proud of you boys! I'm also glad tt i don't have to be as strict wit em as I had to le... Can hang wit em like friends. They rock la! Silly chao ah bengs. Damn funny =)
Alright. Will blog more laters. Am tired and sad. Ohwells. Ciao all~

Then there was this discussion abt this qn:
K2 + 2Br --> 2K+Br-
Sth like tt la! Then it was super funny coz at first me steven and howie said v confidently tt it was a reduction. Then after tt we chked answers then KNN it was actually an oxidation! Then we understood why it was an oxidation so tried to explain to greg. DAMN FUNNY CAN. Howie was all like, coz you lose an electron! You lose an electron! Then Greg was like, "but just now u tell me lose electron is reduction!" Then all of a sudden Steven was like "No it's coz you got 2 electrons to spare" Then all of us looked at him and burst out laughing!!! Wahahaha. Then like we stopped laughing and kept trying to explain the oxidation thing, then Steven kept going "No seriously trust me, it's just because you have 2 electrons to spare.... Lack of 2 electrons... etc.." WAHAHAHAHAHAHA. DAMN FUNNY me, greg and howie just kept laughing i tell ya!
Then I kept writing down all this coz i wanted to blog abt it later so I kept going "Pause pause let me write this down" in between mad giggles...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So anyways.. Lemme continue my event-blog! =) So Thursday I went to sch, had 337 in the morn, then we had our 337 grp meeting, then I had guitar performance! Argh i screwed up my songs! Siann =( I forgot the lyrics for all the songs I was performing.. Benjamin the guitarist was all like, shaking his head etc. Hahas. Then was doing cameo harmonization work for ppl hahahahas. By special request only!!! Lol. It was the first time performing for Louis and my ahbee so I feel it was really a good effort. First time already come n do unplugged.. These people are good man. Now i finally realize how difficult unplugged is.. Lol.
Alright then went for lunch then 231.. Had in-class writing assignment.. Then had basic lesson for cca.. Was another fruitful lesson, i feel =) Then a bunch of us went to KAP for dinner.. MeTongJLTaiAn attempted to practise our group song.. I Still Believe by GaryCao and YvonneHsu(?) yea.. Then chatted lots wit Lucas and Rinalldo about HORROR MOVIES! I tell ya, I'm psyched!!

Man, I miss hanging around intellectual/angmoh-pai ppl.. Wahahaha! =)

Today! Woke up semi-early for auditions lol.. Then met JL at dhoby gaut mrt, walked down to SMU, saw Lucas training wit the SMU choir, then went for auditions... GOT A FUCKING BIG SHOCK WHEN I SAW THE BLOODY (*&$% STAGE!! Knnbccb no one told me it was an open stage event. WTH. Then got super tense and nervous. So yea i did pretty badly.. Grr.. I changed my song at the last min to How Do I Live (originally intended to sing The Way It Is by Celine Dion.. But that song a bit too strong (i thought) so decided to sing Have You Ever by S Club instead and it was really good somemore, but too early in the morning for my vocals sian.. So in the end picked the safe song HDIL lor..) Anw.. I sang just one verse and one chorus (coz damn tired n disappointed wit myself) and then I stopped and said thanks.. Then the judges were quite surprised i think, then the judge who commented had this to say:
Judge: How do you feel about your performance just now?
Me: (looks nervous and shifty) Erm.. I could have done better......
Judge: Is this your first time onstage? Have you had prior experience in competitions? (the gist of his qn was sth to this extent la)
Me: Er yes... Some..
Judge: Have you won any singing competitions before?
Me: Er.. *thinks* Duet... (then remembers that tong&i didn't WIN duet superstars in 2006.. we were 2nd) No la got placing only..
Judge: ok..
THAT WAS IT! Omg i'm so ($*&%ed... Sigh. Anw then after JL and I finished our auditions we went over to PS... I went to buy the cake.. Then we went to Cafe Cartel to wait.. (JL was joining us coz I didn't tell him I had sth on frm after our solo audition to our grp audition lol. oops) Then shumina turned up.. Then Val arrived at PS and I led her on some weird "treasure hunt" while I finished up my letter for her lol.. Then she finally arrived then I went to meet QS to get the cake.. Then yea! Hahah we celeb-ed Val's bday =) Lucas came down to join us for lunch too then when we sang bday song for val, me jl and lucas sang an impromptu harmonized version! So coooll =)
Kays then after tt jl lucas and I went back to smu (lucas drove and it took (%*&$ long to get a parking lot!) then there was v little time left to prac! Tong and I did our grp audition first and did quite ok.. We sang meilibennvren mah.. Quite a seasoned song liao lol.. Then the 4 of us one.. nv practise properly, very luan.. Our performance was SUPER CUI!!! OMG. SO SUPER THROW FACE =( I think they were saying sth to the extent tt 4 of us were all strong singers but each with our diff unique style.. So not a good grp combi. Sighs. Ohwells. Haha. At least we can hangout and sing tgt =)

i was getting damn damn damn sick of the old one. Gross! And anw, i'm feeling happier nowadays.. Less emo.. Or at least... That's what i want you to think when you come to my blog. Wahaha. I'll still blog my usual emo stuff when I do have those down periods but most of it shd be happy stuff! =)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So anyways.. Lemme continue my event-blog! =) So Thursday I went to sch, had 337 in the morn, then we had our 337 grp meeting, then I had guitar performance! Argh i screwed up my songs! Siann =( I forgot the lyrics for all the songs I was performing.. Benjamin the guitarist was all like, shaking his head etc. Hahas. Then was doing cameo harmonization work for ppl hahahahas. By special request only!!! Lol. It was the first time performing for Louis and my ahbee so I feel it was really a good effort. First time already come n do unplugged.. These people are good man. Now i finally realize how difficult unplugged is.. Lol.
Alright then went for lunch then 231.. Had in-class writing assignment.. Then had basic lesson for cca.. Was another fruitful lesson, i feel =) Then a bunch of us went to KAP for dinner.. MeTongJLTaiAn attempted to practise our group song.. I Still Believe by GaryCao and YvonneHsu(?) yea.. Then chatted lots wit Lucas and Rinalldo about HORROR MOVIES! I tell ya, I'm psyched!! Utterly psyched! Finally found another buncha horror movie kakis!! YAYY! Somemore we all live in CCK!! =) Tell ya, GV Lot 1 will be my newest hangout man.. Even though I will keep running into students.. sian. Haha.
Anw, muchos thanks to Lucas for walking me home!!! That allowed me to take bus home instead of cabbing home (those of you who know abt my difficulties abt taking bus home at night will know what i'm talking abt -__-") We had another loooong chat lol. Man, I miss hanging around intellectual/angmoh-pai ppl.. Wahahaha! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday pia-ed to sch earlier to meet ashton.. Then surprisingly his ESL class ended late so i went in to look for him and take the chance to talk to nina.. Made small talk wit glenda while we were waiting for their class to be over.. Heh. GLENDA & NINA you guys rock! =) Ok so had small talk wit ashton after his lesson, then went for my ESL lesson.. Had mini oral presentation thing.. Thank goodness my RP is on the right track =) Yay! No major changes to be made! Haha I kinda love my research topic! Will let you all know abt it soon =)
Alright after ESL i headed down to Holland V Coffee Bean to meet my darling LSY! =) She was meeting a friend of hers... Shawn i think... Is that his name? I can't quite recall.. Anw, he's quite an interesting character.. Ohwells. Alright then xyz and I headed down to town for our facial!! =)) YAYYYY Haven't had my facial done in AGES!!! Wah when my aunt saw me she was like "Why your face so jia lat!?" Wahahahha I know man. Too damn long nv go le! After the shiokamama facial, I had my eyelashes permed again.. Then xyz and I went to have our oyster meesua and ji pa at Far East Shi Lin =) I bought my Starbucks java chip mocha frapp on the way there =) Wheee~ Then we cabbed back (DAMN EX SIAN!) Alright then went home! Lol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today! Woke up semi-early for auditions lol.. Then met JL at dhoby gaut mrt, walked down to SMU, saw Lucas training wit the SMU choir, then went for auditions... GOT A FUCKING BIG SHOCK WHEN I SAW THE BLOODY (*&$% STAGE!! Knnbccb no one told me it was an open stage event. WTH. Then got super tense and nervous. So yea i did pretty badly.. Grr.. I changed my song at the last min to How Do I Live (originally intended to sing The Way It Is by Celine Dion.. But that song a bit too strong (i thought) so decided to sing Have You Ever by S Club instead and it was really good somemore, but too early in the morning for my vocals sian.. So in the end picked the safe song HDIL lor..) Anw.. I sang just one verse and one chorus (coz damn tired n disappointed wit myself) and then I stopped and said thanks.. Then the judges were quite surprised i think, then the judge who commented had this to say:
Judge: How do you feel about your performance just now?
Me: (looks nervous and shifty) Erm.. I could have done better......
Judge: Is this your first time onstage? Have you had prior experience in competitions? (the gist of his qn was sth to this extent la)
Me: Er yes... Some..
Judge: Have you won any singing competitions before?
Me: Er.. *thinks* Duet... (then remembers that tong&i didn't WIN duet superstars in 2006.. we were 2nd) No la got placing only..
Judge: ok..
THAT WAS IT! Omg i'm so ($*&%ed... Sigh. Anw then after JL and I finished our auditions we went over to PS... I went to buy the cake.. Then we went to Cafe Cartel to wait.. (JL was joining us coz I didn't tell him I had sth on frm after our solo audition to our grp audition lol. oops) Then shumina turned up.. Then Val arrived at PS and I led her on some weird "treasure hunt" while I finished up my letter for her lol.. Then she finally arrived then I went to meet QS to get the cake.. Then yea! Hahah we celeb-ed Val's bday =) Lucas came down to join us for lunch too then when we sang bday song for val, me jl and lucas sang an impromptu harmonized version! So coooll =)
Kays then after tt jl lucas and I went back to smu (lucas drove and it took (%*&$ long to get a parking lot!) then there was v little time left to prac! Tong and I did our grp audition first and did quite ok.. We sang meilibennvren mah.. Quite a seasoned song liao lol.. Then the 4 of us one.. nv practise properly, very luan.. Our performance was SUPER CUI!!! OMG. SO SUPER THROW FACE =( I think they were saying sth to the extent tt 4 of us were all strong singers but each with our diff unique style.. So not a good grp combi. Sighs. Ohwells. Haha. At least we can hangout and sing tgt =)
After auditions, me tong tai an and lucas went for KTV at chevrons!=) K-ed for a few hours then Lucas sent me home le! Then family gathering!! =) Haven't seen everyone in agesss.. Talked abt my resume and cover letter wit Auntie Angie and Godma.. Hugged yangyang =) I love yangster! =)

And y'know on the way there and when yvonne was sending us back right, all her colleagues were like, luxury-car-spotting like mad! Esp at dempsey coz it's the "high-class" area ba! Damn funny can they were all like "That's a Lexus C48573987!" "No, it's a Lambourghini Applejuicething"... "There's a Tuscani blocking my way! Fugly shit!!" and so on.. Lol. I was feeling overwhelmed.. I know the Volvo is a good family car. That's all. Haha.
Okays let's just blog abt ytd! So I pia-ed my reading summaries till 3+am then went to sleep and SIAN overslept coz of bloody lack of sleep so thanks to Ann who helped me print my stuff and submit. Heh. Then went to sch and had 337 meeting... then Had 317 meeting presentation.. Then met tong tai an and ah bee for a bit, then left for tuition, then went back to sch for cca... After CCA was over we went down to Memoirs to eat and OH FORGOT TO MENTION! TENGHONG and ahbee came down for lesson, DAMN FUNNY! Wahahahahaha they're damn cute la! They came in holding hands, then they walked one round around the LT to show everyone. LOLOLOL! Funny la you 2! And I insist, you are a cute couple (but tenghong, without ahbee you are not cute! whaahahaha stop deluding yourself! lol!). SO CUTE!!! I WANNA PINCH THEIR CHEEKS! Wahahahaha.

Wah liew i cld see the bottom of expressways etc! Wahaha I cldn't control myself and kept stroking the damned thing (the window la! what are you thinking! :Pp) Then tenghong and ahbee at the back kept telling me not to get my fingerprints on the window et al.. LOL! Was damn funny on the way there la! Then when we arrived, NO FOOD! The cafe had sold everything out! Wah liew! Lol. So we bought food there to eat and ordered drinks only la.. Had quite a good time (i was pretty high lol) and some contestants from BOV Youth Finals were there, along with william, the organizer =) I think i've developed a sentimental attachment to the cafe and its ppl liao! Sigh!
Anws Lucas drove me home (shiokkkk the skyroofthing!!! shiokshiok!!) and we had a nice chat.. Well, I did most of the talking though but yea! Chat! Hahahaha.

Was damn frantic this morning when i woke up but then checked the course syllabus to see how many % this quiz was then realized tt they wld be taking the best 2 out of 3 quiz grades to consider so HENG HENG HENG... Like HENG.
Then went to sch for ESL... Then hung around in sch.. When I was walking to the library, someone called me then I turned around and saw Simon from singing club at a store (there was a bazaar going on) then went over.. Bought 2 lovely pairs of earrings from him at a nice discounted price and he threw in a free pair! =) THANKS SIMON!! =D Then went to Library, then ashton called me and my phone screamed bloody murder in the library la! I kenna chased out by the librarian (ashton! you hai4 me one!!) so I went to the atrium and sat down wit simon there help him man his store. Wahaha no la. Just sit there "study" only.. Then I asked ah bee to join me, then simon's partner Bryan also joined us after awhile. Wahahahaha the Brymon stuff are nice! They have an online thing! When I know the link i let y'all know!

oh brother!
okok
i have so bloody much to blog about and so much to do after this that i might as well start blogging now first.
First up, I wanna plug this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTGrzte9ZjQ and this webby www.repeal377a.com
I can't call myself a supporter of gay rights and all, because religiously I am not supposed to.. But that doesn't mean I can't ask you guys to sign the petition if you feel strongly about it. This is the littlest thing I can do because I can't put my name there I'm sorry. While i feel that gay people are no different from any of us (apart from y'know, sexual orientation) and they definitely do make great friends (trust me, I have quite a few gay friends and I really love em all) I'm not going to sign this petition just like I wouldn't sign a petition to make soliciting of prostitution legal. It's mainly coz of the sexual overtones of this petition la, not that I have anything against gay people.
So I hereby call out to all who feel strongly about this cause to submit your petitions before the deadline(19 Oct)! And my apologies to the friend(s) who sent me the link..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll do an event blog now! The last I event blogged was till the day before the mini MAF celeb at tong's place! So let's blog abt tt!
LOL. Well, a dismal no of ppl turned up coz of a lot of last min pangsehs.. So anw, tt morn i overslept and missed church. Mr. WJL lagi best, reached home at 9am? Yah then Sam msged me to say she'll be picking me up at what time what time then blah blah blah.. So ok i washed up, changed and all.. Then at 12nn (we were supposed to meet at 1230) JL called to say he'd JUST woken up. Smart right? So anw Sam and I decided to go pick him from W'lands first.. Then siyingzi and tai an had to wait at ten mile junction there.. And we were supposed to pick up Joanna (a junior =)) from the bus stop outside my church.. Yea.. Ok damn funny la we picked up JL, then we picked up xyz.. Then we picked up Joanna.. Tai An left on his own before we arrived.. So anw.. Damn funny sia we got HORRIBLY LOST! LOL! Ok actually we weren't lost but we just missed the Jalan Labu Ayer turning, then had to search for U-turn.. WHICH DID NOT COME AROUND UNTIL LIKE 94858739475 bloody km away! LOL! Damn funny! We ended up around Bishan area before we could U-turn back.. Then at Serangoon Ave sth we STILL HAD TO U-TURN ONE MORE TIME!! Wahahahaha
I am a terror to all my driver friends actually.. I'm sorry! Lol. I admit it was all my fault. Pointed out the JLA turning too late. Sorry sam! Wasted your petrol =(
Alright anw, the day was filled with lots of MJness, K-ing, mini celebrating of Sam's bday, torturous and very karma-fied Indian Poker, Uno Slam and movie watching etc! Heh. It was quite a fun day in all la =) I enjoyed myself. XYZ's Colin came down to join us in the evening and when he&xyz, me, jl and tong played mj right.. DAMN STRESSFUL!!!! Coz we're the slightly more pro players of the lot already, then playing tt time is really just yah, speedy and all! Waahahahah but I hu-ed so many times tt they kept trying to help each other hu just so that I wouldn't lian2 zhuang1 anymore. LOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright I'm taking out my organizer to see what happened on Mon... Let's see.. OOOH.. Mon was Children's Day! Ok it was an okok day for me.. We had SOC midterms then lesson then I went for tuition.. Then I met Bina and we went to Video Ezy where I signed up for membership (a lotta discounts n whatnot coz it's my bday month! =D) so I rented 2 dvds - The Wicker Man and Open Season =) Went home and watched Open Season! Not bad but not as good as I'd hoped. Then was super excited to watch the Wicker Man coz it sounded and looked good and i hadn't watched horror in ages so called val up and arranged a movie date! Yay! Wahaha. Yeps..
Tuesday... nothing much.. Made it for COM337 in the morn.. COM317 in the aftnn... I can't rmb what I did between lesson over and CCA but anw we had CCA meeting at 5pm then lesson lor.. Then dinner as usual... Really can't rmb what it was abt le.. Lol..
Wednesday.. Skipped soc.. went for ESL and er.. Can't rmb!! According to my organizer I skipped tuition! But i can't rmb for what!? Argh. Nvm.
Thursday.. Went for COM337 in the morn.. COM317 after tt.. Then COM231 after tt.. Then tuition at 8pm! =)
Friday... Went for NTR in the morn.. Then ESL.. Then went for Guitar Club briefing thingy at 3pm with singing ppl =) Met ashton to talk abt some stuff (will mention nx time).. And cancelled tuition =(
Saturday!!!! I met Yvonne at her house and collected my gorgeous dress =) Talked work a bit then I went to give tuition at 11am... Yea bloody early right? I noticed that this particular week I actually got up quite early consecutively *pats self* haha. Anw yea then after tuition i met val at Lot 1.. We bought snacks and all then went to my house to watch The Wicker Man starring Nicholas Cage! TELL YA! That show SUCKS. Seriously. It's just about this pagan female worshipping clan/tribe/thing on an island and yea the ending really sucks. It's a very intriguing premise but a lot of useless red-herrings were tossed in to make everything more interesting than it really is, which proved really irritating in the end. Being Lit students, val and I were so caught up in the extensive symbolism that was employed but never explained. It seemed so irrelevant in the end! The worst thing was, the cover of the dvd boasted a "shocking alternate ending!" which Val and I were speculating about before the show began.. We were just kidding around, saying tt maybe the shocking alternate ending was going to be that it was all a dream lol, which is really typical.. But NO! There was NO shocking alternate ending! There wasn't even a shocking OR alternate ending!! Sian la. What a waste man. We were so fed up we decided to listen to the director's commentary to see what they cld reveal but all we heard were a few insights but nothing tt could explain all the loose ends.. Sian. Don't watch ok. Not worth it. Very predictable cliched ending.
After the show Val and I went to return the dvds then went to IMM for dinner at Cafe Cartel... And can anybody say BREAD!?!? Lol but too many ppl la.. Marred an otherwise lovely experience. Haha. One of our(val&i) fave things to do is just sit and eat and chat. Lol. So we chatted and hung around leisurely then I walked her to her house then I cabbed home! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday was the promotion rally for tong's Battle Of the Voices competition! It was held at Bugis Street Memoirs, which is a really street but slightly out-of-the-way place in Queen Street. Went down to meet tong and the rest of the ppl who were invited at Bugis MRT then went to the cafe.. To cut a looooong story short (it was a really really really really long day coz of all the other contestants etc.. Tai An and Tong's performance was the last one of the day) basically we had fun listening to all the ppl, then tong and tai an and all their drama.. Then I got to go onstage and sing 2 songs wit tong.. etc.. Hahas. It was fun la. Hope the juniors had a good experience =) Ate a LOT! But the food there is good =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday came along... Met a member in the morn to explain some stuffs.. Then went for SOC.. Ran into william at the library so went for lesson tgt... Handed up soc paper.. then went for 231.. And for some reason i cancelled tuition again =( Sian! oh wait no no. T1 cancelled tuition wit me. Lol. So I was home pretty early =)
Tuesday.. Made it for morning lect (337)... then went for 317 for a buncha presentations by classmates... Then had cca meeting at 530pm and lesson at 630pm.. We did Guitar Pop! Oh ok then I think i rmb what we did the Tuesday before this le... We did Folk Song.. Home on the Range.. Lol. That lesson was quite funny la hehe. Alright.. After CCA we went to eat! Yups.
Ok Wed... I skipped school entirely.. Oh but met jl in sch help him practice for the 97.2 singing competition.. Was half debating whether I should go join not.. Coz the song i was quite prepared le mah.. But in the end nv.. Haha tuition comes first! Yups. I went home for dinner then went out again for tuition! Yupyup..
Thurs! 337 Midterms in the morn! I was darned late! 10mins late! Lol.. Ok then aftnn was 317 presentation! Had to wear suit! Sian! lol. After my presentation I went down to stage to do guitar prac! and skipped 231 =( Then at 6pm we had the Singing Basic Lesson.. Which I felt was good coz towards the end some of the members stayed back and they had more specific attention paid to them. After the lesson and the slacking around, went for dinner then went home!
Fri! (lol i'm like racing through everything like tt) I'm dropping NTR so skipped the lect.. Went for ESL where we had midterms (wrote paper on Prostitution - problemsolution essay) and grr! Had to write a shoddy conclusion due to lack of time, dammit! then I went to meet tong at Bugis Street Memoirs and chatted for awhile.. Then helped her shop for clothes for her photoshoot.. Then went fareast cut hair and yeps bina's bday celeb (which has been blogged abt in the entry below)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday! Very funny thing in the morn. Tong and I stupidly assumed all week that auditions were on that particular Saturday so yah, happily assumed la. Then I dilly dallied at home so was late, then worse, coz jl and I were supposed to audition at 1130am so i msged and called him but no response so i was like DIE! Still sleeping! So on my way to the bus stop b ehind my house right (it was like, 1110am like tt) I was like, should i cab should i cab? Then decided to call them and say i'll be late instead. So i called one of the girls in charge right, this is how our convo went:
Me: Hello?
Girl: Er hello?
Me: Hi is this Melinda?
Girl: Er yes who is this?
Me: Hi melinda! I'm Cherlynn! I'm supposed to audition for the Virtuoso competition but I'll be late!
Melinda: Oh i see.. So around what time will u reach..?
Me: Err *looks frantically at watch* I think hopefully by 1145am la.. But the other person i think he's still sleeping so maybe around 12 like that!
Melinda: *pause* oh so around 1145 or 12?
Me: yes yes! Sorry will it delay you all or something?
Melinda: Oh no no.. Er.. You know that the audition is not today right?
Me: *stunned pause* WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Melinda: Yah it's next week
Me: !!?(*&#$*!) OH! OHMYGAW OHMYGAW OHMYGAW! My whole group of friends thought it was today!
Melinda: -doesn't say anything. i think she didn't know what to say-
Me: OH NO OH NO *rambles on along the lines of shit shit we thought it was today oh shit oh crap etc*
Me: *regains ability to speak coherently* Oh sorry sorry then it's alright I'll call up my friends and tell them! Sorry sorry!
Melinda: (i totally don't remember what she said)
Me: BYE! *proceeds to call tong*
Tong: Hello?
Me: LIM SI TONG!!!!!
Tong: what what?
Me: OMGOMGOMG!!! I feel so stupid!!!!
Tong: what what?
Me: Do you know virtuoso auditions is not today!?!?!?!?!??!? ARGH!!!!
Tong: oh shit
Haha. "Oh Shit" just about sums it up. Lol. So anyways was totally free then, so I went down to Toa Payoh to meet tong and tai an at Toa Payoh MRT's Ya Kun... Then we went down for their extra(additional) promotion rally! Was a much more low-key affair as compared to the previous Sunday's one.. We didn't really ask many ppl down and not as many contestants were there anyways.. It was a pretty chillax time but I regretted not bringing my work to study. Sian. Slacked the whole day away there =( Sang 3 songs.. One solo two wit tong =) Funnnn~
Sunday! YTD! Haha. Ok the day before Sunday, the organizer invited me to help host the Semi Finals for the Evergreen Category the next day. It was SUCH a good chance la! Of course I agreed, so i cancelled my tuition and went down. Then when I went down right, I was just told to liase with the other host and sadly, we both didn't have much of an inkling of what to do so it was all very impromptu. We were given pretty much the barest instructions (like, speak mainly in Mandarin and plug the sponsors and remind the audience about voting and take turns to go up etc) It was a pretty stressful but eye-opening experience. I'm very very glad to have had the chance! We ended up hosting the semi-finals for both the Executive and the Evergreen categories which were both held ytd.. Yup.. Very very very fun=) Tested my brain and my ability to think on my feet, not to mention my chinese speaking skills! Wahaha. Now that I come to think of it... Singing is, to a large extent, much easier than emcee-ing.. At least, for this kinda events.. Hosting other events that don't require you to engage the audience is definitely much easier - i.e. concerts, plays, awards ceremonies etc... This one was very very scary not only because it was a competition where we had to make everything interesting, talk with the contestants and handle last min situations, the stress level was compounded by the fact that there were quite a few industry experts seated right in front, so i had to be extra careful with what I said and all!
Thankfully, the organizer said I did well during the debrief after the event, so it was like a huge sigh of relief for me. I think I've really learnt quite a bit from this experience so I have a lot of thanks in place:
1) William, the organizer, who gave me the chance to host such an important event
2) Tong, for introducing me to the event, which indirectly gave me the chance to try my hand at hosting =)
3) All the audience who were kind enough to bear with me =)
So, seeing as I'm like, one of the hosts for the event, it is only right that I plug the competition a bit. Heh. The Battle of the Voices competition is really an event of quite a large scale. Boasting sponsors such as Kbox and CDRAMA, and organizers like M5 Royal Artiste and Punggol CC, it is one of the biggest singing competitions in Singapore.

Okok! Today! (woah it's now 1217am of Tuesday la! Grr I've been blogging for over an hour! Sian! Now you see why I don't like to blog v much) Went to sch.. Sat outside the lt during soc.. Pei2 sitong.. Yea.. Then haha quite funny.. A lotta ppl didn't recognize me coz of the change in hairstyle - i.e. Yarndink, Kok, Elves, Evy etc.. Hehe. But the general reception was good (i mean about my hair!) hehe. YAY! I must really thank YOYO. Hehs. I'll be going back there to rebond my hair soon. And don't worry sy! Rebonding it to make it straight only. Haha. So that my bangs are not so messy! =)
Problem with this haircut though, is that I will have to put makeup everyday. Sian. Coz it draws attention to my eyes and without makeup my eyes look v dead.. and my EYEBAGS!!! Killer sia. So yea. Makeup makeup. My skin is dying.. I haven't gone for facial in AGES!
After soc was over we had a 317 meeting.. Then went for 231 for abit then left for another Guitar prac session.. Again, with the hair.. Lol. Yea then went back to 231.. Then went for tuition... And that was it! Heh.
After such a looooooooooooooong entry, some of you might be wondering, "then what's with the title of your entry"? Coz some of you more astute readers may realize tt my blog title always(ok fine not always but sometimes) has something to do with something I wanna say! Heh. Yea! I'm v happy! Those of you who know abt my family stuff will know why i'm happy when i tell you what's happened! Today my bro knocked on my door nicely (i thought it was my dad so I went "wait awhile.." coz I was applying rash cream(ps, DAMNED humoc. i have humoc on my feet) so cldn't open the door) Then when I opened the door i was quite surprised so I just looked shocked. Then my bro was like "Do you have the speakers?" in a like, not-hostile tone! I was like, stunned so I just pointed at my table and said "the computer one is it?" then he walked in and looked where I pointed then reached for them, then asked me if the speakers were spoilt, then I was like yah.. Then he was like "both arh?" then I was like no no, one only. Then he just took them and left!
I mean, it was a NICE encounter! It was an OK encounter!!!! Do you know how psyched i am!? I'm deliriously happy la! =) Yay!
Heh. Alright alright. Long long event blog.. I must go and pia my reading summaries now. Ciao y'all =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
把心事推到一边去。。。 把它给忘了。。 把他给忘了。。。
i have so bloody much to blog about and so much to do after this that i might as well start blogging now first.
First up, I wanna plug this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTGrzte9ZjQ and this webby www.repeal377a.com
I can't call myself a supporter of gay rights and all, because religiously I am not supposed to.. But that doesn't mean I can't ask you guys to sign the petition if you feel strongly about it. This is the littlest thing I can do because I can't put my name there I'm sorry. While i feel that gay people are no different from any of us (apart from y'know, sexual orientation) and they definitely do make great friends (trust me, I have quite a few gay friends and I really love em all) I'm not going to sign this petition just like I wouldn't sign a petition to make soliciting of prostitution legal. It's mainly coz of the sexual overtones of this petition la, not that I have anything against gay people.
So I hereby call out to all who feel strongly about this cause to submit your petitions before the deadline(19 Oct)! And my apologies to the friend(s) who sent me the link..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll do an event blog now! The last I event blogged was till the day before the mini MAF celeb at tong's place! So let's blog abt tt!
LOL. Well, a dismal no of ppl turned up coz of a lot of last min pangsehs.. So anw, tt morn i overslept and missed church. Mr. WJL lagi best, reached home at 9am? Yah then Sam msged me to say she'll be picking me up at what time what time then blah blah blah.. So ok i washed up, changed and all.. Then at 12nn (we were supposed to meet at 1230) JL called to say he'd JUST woken up. Smart right? So anw Sam and I decided to go pick him from W'lands first.. Then siyingzi and tai an had to wait at ten mile junction there.. And we were supposed to pick up Joanna (a junior =)) from the bus stop outside my church.. Yea.. Ok damn funny la we picked up JL, then we picked up xyz.. Then we picked up Joanna.. Tai An left on his own before we arrived.. So anw.. Damn funny sia we got HORRIBLY LOST! LOL! Ok actually we weren't lost but we just missed the Jalan Labu Ayer turning, then had to search for U-turn.. WHICH DID NOT COME AROUND UNTIL LIKE 94858739475 bloody km away! LOL! Damn funny! We ended up around Bishan area before we could U-turn back.. Then at Serangoon Ave sth we STILL HAD TO U-TURN ONE MORE TIME!! Wahahahaha
I am a terror to all my driver friends actually.. I'm sorry! Lol. I admit it was all my fault. Pointed out the JLA turning too late. Sorry sam! Wasted your petrol =(
Alright anw, the day was filled with lots of MJness, K-ing, mini celebrating of Sam's bday, torturous and very karma-fied Indian Poker, Uno Slam and movie watching etc! Heh. It was quite a fun day in all la =) I enjoyed myself. XYZ's Colin came down to join us in the evening and when he&xyz, me, jl and tong played mj right.. DAMN STRESSFUL!!!! Coz we're the slightly more pro players of the lot already, then playing tt time is really just yah, speedy and all! Waahahahah but I hu-ed so many times tt they kept trying to help each other hu just so that I wouldn't lian2 zhuang1 anymore. LOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright I'm taking out my organizer to see what happened on Mon... Let's see.. OOOH.. Mon was Children's Day! Ok it was an okok day for me.. We had SOC midterms then lesson then I went for tuition.. Then I met Bina and we went to Video Ezy where I signed up for membership (a lotta discounts n whatnot coz it's my bday month! =D) so I rented 2 dvds - The Wicker Man and Open Season =) Went home and watched Open Season! Not bad but not as good as I'd hoped. Then was super excited to watch the Wicker Man coz it sounded and looked good and i hadn't watched horror in ages so called val up and arranged a movie date! Yay! Wahaha. Yeps..
Tuesday... nothing much.. Made it for COM337 in the morn.. COM317 in the aftnn... I can't rmb what I did between lesson over and CCA but anw we had CCA meeting at 5pm then lesson lor.. Then dinner as usual... Really can't rmb what it was abt le.. Lol..
Wednesday.. Skipped soc.. went for ESL and er.. Can't rmb!! According to my organizer I skipped tuition! But i can't rmb for what!? Argh. Nvm.
Thursday.. Went for COM337 in the morn.. COM317 after tt.. Then COM231 after tt.. Then tuition at 8pm! =)
Friday... Went for NTR in the morn.. Then ESL.. Then went for Guitar Club briefing thingy at 3pm with singing ppl =) Met ashton to talk abt some stuff (will mention nx time).. And cancelled tuition =(
Saturday!!!! I met Yvonne at her house and collected my gorgeous dress =) Talked work a bit then I went to give tuition at 11am... Yea bloody early right? I noticed that this particular week I actually got up quite early consecutively *pats self* haha. Anw yea then after tuition i met val at Lot 1.. We bought snacks and all then went to my house to watch The Wicker Man starring Nicholas Cage! TELL YA! That show SUCKS. Seriously. It's just about this pagan female worshipping clan/tribe/thing on an island and yea the ending really sucks. It's a very intriguing premise but a lot of useless red-herrings were tossed in to make everything more interesting than it really is, which proved really irritating in the end. Being Lit students, val and I were so caught up in the extensive symbolism that was employed but never explained. It seemed so irrelevant in the end! The worst thing was, the cover of the dvd boasted a "shocking alternate ending!" which Val and I were speculating about before the show began.. We were just kidding around, saying tt maybe the shocking alternate ending was going to be that it was all a dream lol, which is really typical.. But NO! There was NO shocking alternate ending! There wasn't even a shocking OR alternate ending!! Sian la. What a waste man. We were so fed up we decided to listen to the director's commentary to see what they cld reveal but all we heard were a few insights but nothing tt could explain all the loose ends.. Sian. Don't watch ok. Not worth it. Very predictable cliched ending.
After the show Val and I went to return the dvds then went to IMM for dinner at Cafe Cartel... And can anybody say BREAD!?!? Lol but too many ppl la.. Marred an otherwise lovely experience. Haha. One of our(val&i) fave things to do is just sit and eat and chat. Lol. So we chatted and hung around leisurely then I walked her to her house then I cabbed home! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday was the promotion rally for tong's Battle Of the Voices competition! It was held at Bugis Street Memoirs, which is a really street but slightly out-of-the-way place in Queen Street. Went down to meet tong and the rest of the ppl who were invited at Bugis MRT then went to the cafe.. To cut a looooong story short (it was a really really really really long day coz of all the other contestants etc.. Tai An and Tong's performance was the last one of the day) basically we had fun listening to all the ppl, then tong and tai an and all their drama.. Then I got to go onstage and sing 2 songs wit tong.. etc.. Hahas. It was fun la. Hope the juniors had a good experience =) Ate a LOT! But the food there is good =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday came along... Met a member in the morn to explain some stuffs.. Then went for SOC.. Ran into william at the library so went for lesson tgt... Handed up soc paper.. then went for 231.. And for some reason i cancelled tuition again =( Sian! oh wait no no. T1 cancelled tuition wit me. Lol. So I was home pretty early =)
Tuesday.. Made it for morning lect (337)... then went for 317 for a buncha presentations by classmates... Then had cca meeting at 530pm and lesson at 630pm.. We did Guitar Pop! Oh ok then I think i rmb what we did the Tuesday before this le... We did Folk Song.. Home on the Range.. Lol. That lesson was quite funny la hehe. Alright.. After CCA we went to eat! Yups.
Ok Wed... I skipped school entirely.. Oh but met jl in sch help him practice for the 97.2 singing competition.. Was half debating whether I should go join not.. Coz the song i was quite prepared le mah.. But in the end nv.. Haha tuition comes first! Yups. I went home for dinner then went out again for tuition! Yupyup..
Thurs! 337 Midterms in the morn! I was darned late! 10mins late! Lol.. Ok then aftnn was 317 presentation! Had to wear suit! Sian! lol. After my presentation I went down to stage to do guitar prac! and skipped 231 =( Then at 6pm we had the Singing Basic Lesson.. Which I felt was good coz towards the end some of the members stayed back and they had more specific attention paid to them. After the lesson and the slacking around, went for dinner then went home!
Fri! (lol i'm like racing through everything like tt) I'm dropping NTR so skipped the lect.. Went for ESL where we had midterms (wrote paper on Prostitution - problemsolution essay) and grr! Had to write a shoddy conclusion due to lack of time, dammit! then I went to meet tong at Bugis Street Memoirs and chatted for awhile.. Then helped her shop for clothes for her photoshoot.. Then went fareast cut hair and yeps bina's bday celeb (which has been blogged abt in the entry below)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday! Very funny thing in the morn. Tong and I stupidly assumed all week that auditions were on that particular Saturday so yah, happily assumed la. Then I dilly dallied at home so was late, then worse, coz jl and I were supposed to audition at 1130am so i msged and called him but no response so i was like DIE! Still sleeping! So on my way to the bus stop b ehind my house right (it was like, 1110am like tt) I was like, should i cab should i cab? Then decided to call them and say i'll be late instead. So i called one of the girls in charge right, this is how our convo went:
Me: Hello?
Girl: Er hello?
Me: Hi is this Melinda?
Girl: Er yes who is this?
Me: Hi melinda! I'm Cherlynn! I'm supposed to audition for the Virtuoso competition but I'll be late!
Melinda: Oh i see.. So around what time will u reach..?
Me: Err *looks frantically at watch* I think hopefully by 1145am la.. But the other person i think he's still sleeping so maybe around 12 like that!
Melinda: *pause* oh so around 1145 or 12?
Me: yes yes! Sorry will it delay you all or something?
Melinda: Oh no no.. Er.. You know that the audition is not today right?
Me: *stunned pause* WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Melinda: Yah it's next week
Me: !!?(*&#$*!) OH! OHMYGAW OHMYGAW OHMYGAW! My whole group of friends thought it was today!
Melinda: -doesn't say anything. i think she didn't know what to say-
Me: OH NO OH NO *rambles on along the lines of shit shit we thought it was today oh shit oh crap etc*
Me: *regains ability to speak coherently* Oh sorry sorry then it's alright I'll call up my friends and tell them! Sorry sorry!
Melinda: (i totally don't remember what she said)
Me: BYE! *proceeds to call tong*
Tong: Hello?
Me: LIM SI TONG!!!!!
Tong: what what?
Me: OMGOMGOMG!!! I feel so stupid!!!!
Tong: what what?
Me: Do you know virtuoso auditions is not today!?!?!?!?!??!? ARGH!!!!
Tong: oh shit
Haha. "Oh Shit" just about sums it up. Lol. So anyways was totally free then, so I went down to Toa Payoh to meet tong and tai an at Toa Payoh MRT's Ya Kun... Then we went down for their extra(additional) promotion rally! Was a much more low-key affair as compared to the previous Sunday's one.. We didn't really ask many ppl down and not as many contestants were there anyways.. It was a pretty chillax time but I regretted not bringing my work to study. Sian. Slacked the whole day away there =( Sang 3 songs.. One solo two wit tong =) Funnnn~
Sunday! YTD! Haha. Ok the day before Sunday, the organizer invited me to help host the Semi Finals for the Evergreen Category the next day. It was SUCH a good chance la! Of course I agreed, so i cancelled my tuition and went down. Then when I went down right, I was just told to liase with the other host and sadly, we both didn't have much of an inkling of what to do so it was all very impromptu. We were given pretty much the barest instructions (like, speak mainly in Mandarin and plug the sponsors and remind the audience about voting and take turns to go up etc) It was a pretty stressful but eye-opening experience. I'm very very glad to have had the chance! We ended up hosting the semi-finals for both the Executive and the Evergreen categories which were both held ytd.. Yup.. Very very very fun=) Tested my brain and my ability to think on my feet, not to mention my chinese speaking skills! Wahaha. Now that I come to think of it... Singing is, to a large extent, much easier than emcee-ing.. At least, for this kinda events.. Hosting other events that don't require you to engage the audience is definitely much easier - i.e. concerts, plays, awards ceremonies etc... This one was very very scary not only because it was a competition where we had to make everything interesting, talk with the contestants and handle last min situations, the stress level was compounded by the fact that there were quite a few industry experts seated right in front, so i had to be extra careful with what I said and all!
Thankfully, the organizer said I did well during the debrief after the event, so it was like a huge sigh of relief for me. I think I've really learnt quite a bit from this experience so I have a lot of thanks in place:
1) William, the organizer, who gave me the chance to host such an important event
2) Tong, for introducing me to the event, which indirectly gave me the chance to try my hand at hosting =)
3) All the audience who were kind enough to bear with me =)
So, seeing as I'm like, one of the hosts for the event, it is only right that I plug the competition a bit. Heh. The Battle of the Voices competition is really an event of quite a large scale. Boasting sponsors such as Kbox and CDRAMA, and organizers like M5 Royal Artiste and Punggol CC, it is one of the biggest singing competitions in Singapore.

After soc was over we had a 317 meeting.. Then went for 231 for abit then left for another Guitar prac session.. Again, with the hair.. Lol. Yea then went back to 231.. Then went for tuition... And that was it! Heh.

Then he was like "both arh?" then I was like no no, one only. Then he just took them and left!
