awesome day in all!!!

yay! had a great day today (wed 090108)

first, siyingzi came to my house then we went to the gym and worked out a bit... it was a light workout but a workout nevertheless ok! then after i bathed and stuff, (cancelled tuition) we went to Bukit Panjang plaza, had our meesua (n sat at LJS so ordered a combo 1 to share) then walked around... I bought my new mouse, and a new memory card for my hp! We also went to popular to look for assessment books...

then oh yah, we ran into ah seet (huitze) and her bf at bukit panjang plaza too hahas chatted for a short while.

then, armed with lots of vouchers and giftcards from xmas, i headed to town to meet ann... Was early so hung around Borders for awhile picking books to buy... Wah tell ya, I totally melted at the fiction section la... DAMN LARGE + GREAT COLLECTION LAH!!! Sigh.. How i wish my library was like that. Sigh... Anw, i bought a book called The Terror... Set in the 1800s... Hopefully I'll love it hehe.

Kays then ann arrived and we went shopping!!! Haha I was like, aiming to buy a nice cardigan by the end of the day so yea we headed off looking! But first! I also aimed to buy a book to teach myself Italian at Kino (another place I had vouchers for) so yea went there! Then when I was browsing the Italian language books and ann was looking for her "Northern Lights" Book (dunno even if it exists LOL =Pp) this old man came up and he was like "Learning Italian?" and totally launched into which books are good, where to take courses etc.. 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!

Ok then we went for dinner at Central Cha Caan Teng... Yayy =) I had the Instant Noodles with Fried Egg and Luncheon Meat!!!! SHIOOOKKKK =)) Ann had porkchop with instand noodles! =) Then we shared a (freaking delicious) Lime Juice with Sourplum and a mango sago cream =) But too bad leh all the cold stuff made ann have tummyache so we went toilet.. Then in the end shop shop shop and realized we vv auntie hahaha. Ok la me la hor. Haha. We had a lotta fun just chatting like xiao! Hahahahas. TEEE OHHH TEEE OHHH hahahaha i am not gonna say anything. Anyways, finally bought my cardigan and ann bought a gorgeous red one too!! =) Then after tt i also bought a pair of shorts at Cotton On.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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..

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 here I am blogging now =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: HAPPY 20TH VAL!!! I LOVE YOOOOUUU~~

maf!

so yea today had a mini celeb for maf (that's Mid Autumn Festival to the morons who dunno.. LOL (psst siying))

ok i've had a relatively good 3 days.. Post-project, everything just seems so much easier! Haha

Thursday after the presentation we continued having the rest of the lessons (almost died and didn't wanna go for 231 but went in the end..) Kevin McKelvey & the NBT person turned up for our presentation! Scary! (speaking of which, remind myself to email the nbt person) K anyways, think we did ok, a lotta ppl told us we did a good job, which was nice to hear =)

K then after all lessons, i went down to stage area to meetup wit esprimere ppl, we had our exco meeting, thrashed some things out... I think things went quite smoothly.. Hopefully we have less hiccups in future. Esprimere Exco GOGOGO! =)

Then was confidence boosting lesson.. Perhaps our worst session yet.. Maybe coz we did quite well for the prev 2 conf boosting sessions so this time around not so good in comparison.. Nevertheless, I hope it was a good experience for the juniors =)

Speaking of which, i've been looking at my juniors' friendster profile pages and have realized that they've become really good friends (and used my terms F4 and 7 Flowers to describe each other lol) and are testi-ing each other like crazy about singing and all =) so happy =) Nice to see the juniors enjoying themselves!! =D

alright then we had our usual dinner stuff (and mini ktv session onstage lol) after tt.. K then on to Friday! I overslept, so missed NTR and since ESL ended freaking early, i was too late to attend tt one too =( Anw, made it to sch for the exco budget meeting (consisting only of me marisa and ts)... Did our projected budget for next year.. Hopefully we get the sum we asked for!! (PS: we needa buy 4 mikes using the funds we got frm duet superstar!) Then after the meeting I met up wit my darlingest Li Siying!!! Hehehe. Darling lsy cancelled her tuition to pei2 me watch movie =) So i finally satisfied my movie craving... =) We met up at lot 1, bought some quick snacks then headed in to watch Chuck & Larry! Hee! Nice movie, that.. It's very pro-gay and has some really funny parts.. And has managed to stop me from disliking Jessica Biel. The woman is really quite hot, and comes across as very nice in the show.. =) so i suppose i don't oppose to her being with Justin Timberlake that much.

Enough bimbo talk! After the movie xyz and I had a nice chat over LJS and then we went our separate ways.. I went home while she headed to Tampines to meet her boyfriend.. Haha. Poor dear was stuck in the bus (omg i typed "stuck in the bust"!!! omg) for more than one and a half hours! Ok so anw i went home and can't rmb what i did.. But i know i was so shagged that i fell asleep around 8pm to 11pm... Then woke up to bathe and then had to wait for my hair to dry etc.. Haha.. Ok

Saturday... Oooh. I hung out at home till I went to meet val at IMM at 615pm! We had fish&co for dinner! yummmmmm~ Absolutely one of my favorite places for fish&chips, mushroom soup and their seafood platter rice! =) Ok anw, after dinner I realized I left my ticket at home, so msged Sam to leave me another one.. Then walked around for awhile and SMARTLY realized (if val hadn't asked, I wldn't have rmbed) that i had ZERO form of identification on me. Totally assumed I could waltz into Zouk without anyone caring. Hahas so val had to drive by my house, i ran in and got my ic and tic.. Then ran out and we took a fucking long and weird drive to Great World City.. Walked over to Zouk.. The people couldn't find the tix sam left for me so we had to buy one more (coz i had mine rmb?) Then went in...

A lotta cute guys! ahahahahahaha =) I was like "Woah cute (turn a corner) woah cuuuute! (turn another corner) oooh hot!" lol. Damn bimbo i know but woah! Cute guys galore! Hot ladies also la. Haha. Ordered an apricot brandy and ordered val a redwine (smartly forgetting that she was driving) and watched the beauties onstage. All were gorgeous but generally quite stiff looking.. Sam looked great =) I loved her walk and she had the "slut" look down pat.. Maybe coz of her eyebrows.. LOL but anyways, her evening-gown walk was really great and needless to say, she made it into Top 8! Heh then was the q&a round... I screamed like a rabid dog after she answered her qn (very well i might add) and the woman beside me gave me a really dirty look and wldn't accept my apologies.. So it was time to leave.. We headed down to Changi Airport where val had to see her friend Kozaw off.. He was leaving for the UK.. It was a really sad event.. Even an observer such as myself was close to tears! Sigh. I felt the sorriest for the girlfriend.. And she looks so sweet and all. Sigh sigh sigh.

Ohwells. Ok then sped back home. Haha. Made it just a min before midnight i think. SUrprisingly when I logged on, sam was online le! Haha. I suppose she finished early. Sadly enough she didn't make it into top 4, but i think she had done a fantastic job already. I'm so super proud of you sam!! =) <3

Ok! Today! My tuition kid cancelled tuition so I slacked around at home till i left for church at 445pm and did both the first n second readings today.. A visiting Australian priest was the celebrant today.. He was so tall that the mike at the podium cldn't reach his mouth even when it was stretched to full height. When the mike is stretched to full height right, it hovers above my head by a few cm.. So you get the idea.. Anyways. He was really nice and funny, came over and asked some cordial questions abt my lector-ing (before the service, of course) and my name and whether i was baptised in this church etc.. Then right, when giving communion, he shocked me by saying "Cherlynn, the body of Christ"... And I was so thrown off by this that i said "Thank you" instead of "Amen"!! Then I quickly mumbled "Amen" and put the communion in my mouth. LOL. The altar boy stared at me when I said "Thank You" la! So funny. ANyways, as usual, I felt a humongous sense of peace after releasing my burdens to God.. I loved today's hymns, especially Sing To The Mountains.. Thankfully it was the final hymn, so it rung around in my head for quite awhile... Heh.

Then went for gathering at Godma's house! Durian Mooncake, White lotus paste mooncake and yam thingy mooncake! I had a small slice of each! Woah nice! And there was fish curry for dinner! Whee~ Hehe

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
