This next one is bittersweet - the kind of romance stories i'm super into nowadays lol
There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the
both of them, so they went their own ways there and then...
Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make some! thing out of himself.
Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company ..
You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents.
With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was
walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper crans right beside her...
Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happe! ned. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, ut she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those
back with him...
Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.
The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her ever again.........hope you understand.
Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

GACK! So sad man =(
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, been watching old movies lately.. Watched Peter Pan on CH5 when it aired recently... OMG THAT SHOW IS SO SWEEEEEEEET i cried so much i finished half a box of tissue. I'm really just a total sucker for sappy sad stuff. They really changed the story a lot. I remember listening to the story at night when I was young, before drifting off to sleep. It was so magical and exciting, but the movie portrayed it as a mini-romance kinda thing. SUPER SUPER TOUCHING! I always suspected there was something going on with Wendy and Peter. Lol. Anyways, it was just so cute I can't stop gushing about it.
Next day i watched I Am Legend starring the one and only Will Smith! Another fantastic show! Kinda similar to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later but omg super nice! Will Smith is HOTTT! =) But anw I got kinda creeped out by the show so I searched for a happier movie to watch and tried to watch Bee Movie but the streaming sucks. Anws, I tried watching Mr. Bean's Holiday and found it all a bit tiresome so I only watched about half of it...
Today I watched Enchanted! So so so lovely and sweet! Though I can't imagine Patrick Dempsey(?) as anything other than McDreamy, it still really worked=) The singing in the show was pretty good, typical Disney fare. Especially the silly song "True Love's Kiss". Really cheesy but super catchy at the same time! Reminds me of Snow White's "Someday My Prince Will Come" Whahaha.. Oh man. I'm such a Disney Kid. I grew up on stuff like Cinderella, Snow White, Dumbo, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and more! Lol. I had the videos, the books, the book-on-tape etc.. The whole package man. LOL. But anw, I really enjoyed the movie!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually have more to blog about! Like how I found this store that sells GORGEOUS GORGEOUS BAGS (at last!) and bought myself another bag... Now I have two new bags (bought one after meeting yvonne and yufen on the 21st) in similar colors and material. LOL. Oh an I have a new hp.. Back to Nokia baby!! Yay! Can finally use music as my ringtone again! Wooohooo.
Will stop the blogging for now heh. Enjoy, guys! =)
School Visit
After delivering a speech at an elementary school, the president lets the kids ask a few questions. One little boy, Joe raises his hand and asks, “How come you invaded Iraq without the support of the United Nations?”
Just as the president begins to answer, the recess bell rings and he says they’ll continue afterward. 25 minutes later the kids come back to class.
“Where were we?” says the president. “Oh, yes... do you kids have any questions?”
Another boy raises his hand and says, “I have three questions: First, why did you invade Iraq without support from the U.N.? Second, why did the recess bell go off 30 minutes early? And third, where is my buddy Joe?”

Haha this one just reminds me of PrisonBreak with all the government conspiracies and all. LOL

What would you do - Shay's story.
Two Choices
What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line,
there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled
children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would
never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its
dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by
outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot
understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, physically
and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other
people treat that child.'
Then he told the following story:
Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'
Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like
Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were
allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not
expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for
guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but
was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a
glove andplayed in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he
was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was
scheduled to be next at bat.
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win
the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold
the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that
the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life,
moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make
contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The
pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards
Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams
started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had
Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down
the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it
to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right
fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's
intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the
third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the
runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to
help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to
home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the
grand slam and won the game for his team.
'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,
'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.
Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy, and
coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.
If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are
that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the
person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the
'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?
A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least
fortunate amongst them.
You now have two choices:
1. Delete
2. Forward
May your day, be a Shay Day.

This one is so so sweet. *sighs*

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..

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. To find out more about the competition and its contestants and competition format, do visit the website at www.battleofthevoices.com! Heh.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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..

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! =)

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?

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. To find out more about the competition and its contestants and competition format, do visit the website at www.battleofthevoices.com! Heh.

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 =)
