new layout! i love this layout =) It's not done by me hahas
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! =)

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!

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. 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..
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. 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 =)

hohohoroscope!
hahaha
i have A LOT A LOT A LOOTTT to blog abt... So i'm not gonna blog abt all of it now heh.
However, today's horoscope entry for me is SO SO SO TRUE that I've just got to share it with you all!
i have A LOT A LOT A LOOTTT to blog abt... So i'm not gonna blog abt all of it now heh.
However, today's horoscope entry for me is SO SO SO TRUE that I've just got to share it with you all!
Friendster Horoscope for October 8, 2007
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)[?]
The Bottom Line
Balance your optimism with caution today. This is not a time to take major risks.
In Detail
Positive attention is still getting thrown you way -- so much so, that you may find yourself with a permanent blush. This 'aw shucks' act will endear people to you even more. There's simply no getting away from the fact that you have star power in a very exciting group. To avoid getting a big head, stay in touch with the people who have known you for years -- and have seen you when you weren't at your best. New attention will remind you about the true value of old friends.
Heh. Tong&Val will know what this is all about. It's so super true though! Haha. Here's what val had to say when i told her abt it.

hahas. arh ben found all 20!! good on you ben!! lol
yea i posted random "happy bday arh ben"s all over the place! The final greeting I was actually on the phone with him from 2355hrs onwards, helping him find the last few right... Then we were like "17 le... 3 more 3 more!" Then he's all like "where where!" then I'm like "you forgot a very important place..." then he went "YOUR BLOG!" then yah hahaha he found the 2 here right, like AT LAST. Then when he was like "OH your TAGBOARD!" then I was like YES YES That's number 19!! Yayy! Then i was like and for no 20, "HAPPY BDAY ARH BEN!!!" hahaha. so yea. quite stupid but y'know.. Haha
Alright.. Today was an ok ok day.. Hate having my period but what the heck.. Hehe
Family stuff today... Shall not talk too much abt it.. But anw, we went to Geylang for Frog Porridge dinner (yummmness!) and tell ya, my parents seriously LOVE people-watching at geylang. Like seriously. For me it's just gross but for them, it's like some tourist experience! Aiyoh. Haha. Came home a bit late for meeting coz we had to stop by a funeral of some distant relative.. Then had meeting.. Urgh. Hope ts doesn't take offence abt all the stuff I said. I'd rather say it to his face then keep badmouthing him behind his back la. Anyways.. yea then had durian..
Something I wanna blog abt is tt recently (i know i'm slow) i realized that I've really been taking my family, esp my parents, for granted.. I think maybe it's coz of the surrounding environment i grew up in, but I never ever grew up feeling wealthy or what until recently.. I kinda comprehend that my parents (ok, my DAD) is rather well-to-do (he needs to stop boasting about this - he keeps going like, "You know to own a car like mine what kind of yearly income you must be drawing?" etc..) but the thing is, I've never felt like i'm particularly rich or what. I mean, i know how it feels like to be feeling poor (like when my own finances are running low) but the thing is, I know that if i ever need money, all i have to do is ask. Recent events have made me rethink my family background.. The other day CAME were just chatting abt our finances and our parents.. And I realized that contrary to what I'd earlier believed, my friends aren't from wealthy backgrounds.. And I mean, i dunno it's just a bit of a shock to know that they.. I dunno how to say argh lol. Like, my parents really just leave me very much on my own, and I snap at them when they pry into my affairs.. I know why i do that (another story for another time) but anw.. Think i need to stop taking my parents for granted...
I mean, I've known all along that they really mean the best for me, it's just that sometimes the way they say and do things really really gets on my nerves.. Nevertheless, I swear I will make the effort to be a better daughter from now on. God help me! But like seriously.. I know I can count on my parents to be there for me no matter what and for that, i'm super thankful. And I'm very very glad that there's almost nothing that my family(i mean extended) cannot help me with. I'm not saying we're aristocratic, but now that I've seen more of Singapore, I realize that yea omg my relatives arh... *shakes head* Scary.
Enough of that.. I wanna go study for a bit now.. Won't be free at all tml coz of the Esprimere MAF Celeb =) Hehe. Ciao all~

hey all...
ok lemme just check where did i last blog until... in the meantime u guys can take a peek at my horoscope! lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hmmmms.... lol it's cool man..
had a weird week so far la.. where did i blog till? oh yes maf... i think..
ehs.. monday.. tuesday.. wednesday... can't really rmb what i did.. go sch.. pia hwk... i think.. haha.. yea.. stoned. CCA Lesson on Tues.. Then there was performance on Thurs.. I sang Umbrella wit junior VY with Tai An on rap and How Do I Live also.. Heh. It was normal ba.. The mike system was really lousy.. Yea.. Finished up my assignments for 317... Then today was a bad day.. Dun wanna say le..
Realized tt I was pms-ing the whole week on Thurs.. Haha. Coz i was feeling super unwell on Thurs morn, kept going to puke.. Damn sick and yucky feeling la. But in the end realized tt it was coz my period came. LOL. Stupid leh... No wonder my whole week was so shitty. Siannnn...
Today the impossible happened! I took the same cab again! And the cabbie rmbed me leh! Funnyyy. Coz i flagged down the cab at my house then i got in.. Then after telling the cabbie where to go we realized tt the meter not working.. Then I just told him tt I go SIM v often and I know how much it'll roughly end up. Then he said "yah i know, i fetched you there before" then i was like HUH!????? Then he continued "yah when i saw u i was like thinking, this girl surely going to clementi sim"
LOL. This can only mean one thing. I seriously cab way too often.
Yea.. Another thing I wanted to blog abt.. Shit i can't rmb shitshitshit.. It's abt something someone said.. Sigh.. Erm.. Errrmmm...!! Shiiittt...
OH YAH! It was something val said abt me tt day when we were dining at fish&co. Heh. Before I move on to tell u about what she said.. let's just do a quick quick event blog. Today after lessons (screwup. let's not talk abt sch) my tuition was cancelled so i went home, put on some makeup, freshened up, then went to meet Yvonne at FarEast. OMG you had to like practically tie my hands tgt so that I would not shop la. OMGOMG so much stuff I liked! grr. The gorgeous gorgeous shoes and the clothes and oh mannnn... Stupid yvonne.. TEMPT ME! She blew like 200 plus la.. Haha anw after we discussed our work stuff then I cabbed (i know!) home then had dinner and icecream(ben&jerry's dutch choc fudge) (i knowww!) then watched Without A Trace on Star or AXN i can't rmb.. Yea..
Ok! Haha now to tell ya what Val said abt me.. Hehe. We were just talking abt... OH WAIT! This did not take place on the night of Sam's finals but on Monday night when I went to JE Library to meet my student, who happily pangseh-ed me.. Val kindly met up with me and we walked walked talked talked and ended up at IMM Cafe Cartel having some yummylicious stuff.. Hehe.. yea.. So basically we were just talking abt stuff.. Then I was saying sth abt how I really just cannot care less abt how ppl see me anymore.. And she was like "Do you know how much you've grown since J1?" And i was like, omg am I very much fatter? lol. Yea but anw, she means like emotionally and stuff.. haha.
And yea, I've realized that I've really really grown a lot mentally, in that I know what's important to me now. And this is really thanks to 2 (or 3 or more) important people... Namely, Jac (for the really important talk that one significant night), Melvin (for screwing up my life and making jac scold me till i came to my senses) and TS (for making me realize that you REALLY cannot judge a book by its cover) and of course Val (for showing me that it really didn't matter what people thought about you.. And of course for always providing me the support and love I need) I feel like I've really matured so much. Sigh.
Do you guys agree? Haha. I think i'll stop blogging here. Will blog more soon! BTW HEROES SEASON 2 IS FINALLY BACK!!! =) Yayness
ok lemme just check where did i last blog until... in the meantime u guys can take a peek at my horoscope! lol
Friendster Horoscope for September 29, 2007
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)[?]
The Bottom Line
Try to be more open toward the idea that people are full of surprises. Have faith.
In Detail
If people have been disappointing you in life lately, have faith that things will turn around soon -- because they will! Try to be more open about the fact that people are full of surprises and sometimes when they make a gesture, offer up a compliment, or just smile your way, they can make your day. There are so many fresh possibilities just about to enter your life -- what you need to do today is to let yourself believe that your future holds more happiness than you past ever did.

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

so precious...
A really sweet story... I love granmas...
Freckles
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella.
Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful."
The boy looked up, "Really?"
"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."
*sniffs* So beautiful! =)
anyways... i'd just realized something a few days ago.. All of us are trying to be something that we're not.. Yup i put that as my msn nick for awhile.. Coz don't you realize if we are already something we don't need to try to be that? Haha yea. And right, we all kinda aspire to be sth la...
OKOK brain block can't think. will blog abt this another day k. heh
my horoscope for today! =)

the indulgz story... =)
here we go!
arh ben treated me to Indulgz on Sat!! =) So shiok! But he wouldn't let me know where we were going till we were at Bugis, then he was like, it's this place called Indulgz. Then i was like OHHHHHH!!! Super excited haha coz i'd heard abt it! So yea! Ok so here's what it was abt!
We had a five course meal in all, consisting of soup, salad, starters, entree and dessert! I'll shut up now and let the pics do the talking! Suffice to say that arh ben cleaned up everything! haha. It was super good! And we both agree that the cheese fries were the BEST man! Heh.
Here goes!

Here goes!
The lovely Indulgz...
yummy drinks
My Ice Mountain (that LTA treated earlier) looks so forlorn in comparison.. HEHEHE
Mine was French Onion while arh ben had the Iced Peach champagne thingy... It was quite sweet and cold.. Heh. But if you keep eating it it tastes good =) My French Onion was just fantastic =)
Arh Ben cleaned up his soup! haha
I was craving for Caesar's Salad so here it was! Haha =) It's not bad. A bit weird on the first bite but thereafter it's super yummy =)
DAMN DAMN DELICIOUS! It tastes just as good as it looks!!! Maybe even better!!
The CHEESE FONDUE omg! It(the cheese mix thing) was blended with White Wine and German Brandy so the alcohol smell was quite strong.. The best thing to dip the cheese with, in my opinion, was the red apple. Deeeelicious! =)
ben cleaning up the fondue.. hahaha
If you can see it, you'll know what I ordered and what arh ben ordered!
btw, we finished the fries! Haha
Our main courses!!! =) Arh ben's thing was some pork loin thing which tasted a bit smelly but the apple sauce thing was nice! But i dunno what part of pig is pork loin from so yea... Arh ben bluffed me, saying it was intestine. I almost spit the pork out la! But the meat was really quite smelly. My chicken, on the other hand, was nice =)
Really nice... AND the best part is the MASHED POTATO! They have some super atas name for it which I can't remember now some potato truffle or sth. Whatever. It tastes fucking good!!
Last but NOT least, our desserts! I had lemon souffle while arh ben had earl grey pana cota! I couldn't take the tang of the lemon after awhile so we swopped halfway. I LOVE THE EARL GREY PANA COTA!!! DAMN GOOD!
So yes yes as you can see, it was really a fantastic dinner!! =) Thanks arh ben for the treat =) *feels guilty* (He wouldn't let me know how much the bill came up to but only said tt the gst (7%) was about $10+.... My maths is lousy but I'm thinking this means the meal cost more than $100 right?! OMG!!!)
Anyways. Really enjoyed myself tt day lol. Apart from getting lost around Bugis area looking for tan quee lan street la! Haha. We walked right past indulgz without knowing it at first! haha. Sian! Haha.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Realized that i forgot to blog abt Duet Superstar Finals. Nothing really much to say haha. We prepared long and hard for it, but we were really too tired and lost focus of the song, so i think in the end we didn't do as well as we'd expected. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic learning experience =) We got consolation prize, which, considering the pathetically dismal number of votes we got, was really like, amazing. Haha. Jinglun&TaiAn got first =) Which made me really happy.
Sam(lee) bought us flowers, which the guys presented to us as we were coming off the stage. Haha. So sweeeeeeet~ My fave flower somemore!! Sadly enough, she apparently had a bit of a car accident on her way to school and all =( Urgh. Love ya babe for everything. Thanks thanks so much for everything!!!!!
Had quite a good student week all in all la. =) Alright will blog next time.. Lots of project work to do. Talk next time, CIAO! =)

went to pick up my passport today coz my mom sent it to update my photograph.. She felt it was necessary because during our HK trip a few months back, I kept holding up queues and whatnot because the customs people refused to let me through, not believing that my taken-in-primary-6 photograph reflected me. Haha. So yea.. It's quite irritating/funny but.. HELL YOU GOTTA WAIT FREAKIN LONG TO GET YOUR PASSPORT! And I was only COLLECTING it la! Tsk.

i can't find the words to explain this feeling i get about us
hai
hehe
SEMI FINALS IN A FEW HOURS!!! I'm super freaking excited =) I really like our semifinal song choice and performance. hehehehehehehehe. EXCITED EXCITED EXCITED! =)
today's semi finals consisted of 3 guy-girl pairs singing Ni Zui Zhen Gui and Tai An & Jinglun singing Bei Pan. Hahaha FUNNY. And i nv watch.. Had biz comm test! Haha. I like our biz comm lecturer. She really rocks. I like her extremely mobile eyebrows. =) OH OH. This year's Duet Superstars, a lot of gimmicky couples. Haha. The Monday pairs, ALL ENDED UP HOLDING HANDS. Talk about cliche! Haha. A lot of them are rather green i think, so their stage wasn't so good. Harmony and vocals - wise, everyone was a worthy competitor =) One couple today (Tues) sang a MalaycumEngcumChi version of Ni Zui Zhen Gui. Haha. Gimmicky right? Oh they're a Malaygirl and a Chiguy. yupyup. ohwells.
Tong and I quite gimmicky also, but in the sense that we're really working on our "stage" section. Coz our song choice allows us to show off our vocals very comfortably and harmony isn't really much of a problem la. I like it that both of us have strong voices/techniques so we're an equally matched pair..
Virtuoso auditions this Sat! Then going out with arh ben!!! ARH BEN! If you're reading this, you gotta tell me when u want me to meet u! I'll be at SMU! Which is in town. So if the restaurant you booked/reserved etc is in town then ok no prob but if it's elsewhere, MUST LET ME KNOW SOON K! =) And dress code! Hahaha. I'm gonna wear nice nice! =D
anyone free to come support us this Friday aftnn (if we make it through to finals)? same like last year, gonna need audience voting i think. We need help! Hehe. I sincerely beseech all my darling readers/friends to please come down n support! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fight against it!

i love my job =)
it is all subjective, but my colleague BINANANA and I both agree wholeheartedly that we've landed the best job a girl could ask for.
We're paid a certain basic sum a month to go... wait get this - we're PAID to go SHOPPING for our boss, on HER MONEY. ON OUR BOSS'S MONEY. And the stuff we get is to be resold, and we get a commission from the stuff that's sold! Ok, so we actually do more than that if you consider all the technicalities, but like seriously, I've got the DREAM JOB. Haha.
I won't reveal all the monetary stuff, but our shopping allowance is HUGE. *faints and dies*
Anyways. The Student Week has started in SIM and there's the bazaar again.. Then after tt went to "work" wit BINA and bought even more stuff.. Here's just a listing of what i bought:
1) Necklace - $8
2) Alarm Clock - $5
3) Handphone Pouch - $5
4) 8 sets of stickers - $6 (got 2 free)
5) Charles&Keith Sandals - $23.90
6) A "wear-at-home" bra - $8
7) A shirt dress - $XX
8) A pair of shorts - $XX
Ok all the XX stuff i gotta keep secret k haha. Anw, i had starbucks today, and LJS, so am feeling suitably happy =) I'm not sure if there was other stuff I bought la but anyways, it was fantastic. haha.
Lots of work to do. Am stressing. Student week, Competition, Presentations, Work, Tuition etc. SUCKS! But will definitely drop another tuition in the near future to concentrate more on sch stuff and my DREAM JOB. Haha.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday I was in a pretty foul mood. Tong came over and we practised our song.. But I was still in a foul mood after that nevertheless. Dunno why also.. Funnily enough, during Communion at mass when I prayed, I asked God to just take care of everything. Though I ALWAYS ALWAYS pray that He does that right, this time I think I was just like, give up, let God take everything. I didn't want to care about anything anymore. And the fantastic thing was that, once I'd finished my prayer and sat back to sing the Thanksgiving hymn, I felt utterly peaceful and happy! It was super unbelievable. I didn't realize it at first until I found myself humming and almost skipping all the way down to the bus stop after running into Mrs. Tay Eng Leng (from SC PRI) at my church. We chatted for awhile, then I went down to the bus stop there to wait for my parents to pick me up. All the way down I was humming the final Hymn and just feeling really peaceful.
In the car, I watched the beautiful scenery zoom by, and it was really really gorgeous. It was as if God wanted to reward me for my renewed faith in Him... It was His special show for me - I particularly enjoyed how the setting sun's rays dusted the treetops. It was simply beautiful. The leaves turned golden, copper and bronze as the car sped past. Even when we were passing a not-yet-completed overhead bridge and my mom was busy complaining about how they were taking forever to build the bridge, I marveled at the serene, unmoving clouds in the clear dusk sky. It was breathtaking, and I must say, it was God.
I haven't enjoyed His presence in so long. I felt His assurance that i was still loved by Him, that no matter what I did wrong, it would be forgiven. My heart was filled with so much joy and yet so much calmness.
I love you, God =)

good, better, BEST!
just some food for thought...
You know sometimes we keep wanting to be the BEST that y'know, we.. Ok i admit, i dunno what I'm talking about. Today took cab down to Hougang Mall to support tong n lta.. Then in the cab the uncle was like saying stuff etc.. Haha. Then he asked me what I was going down there for, so I said I was going to support my friend for a singing competition.. Then he was like, "Special Friend?" Then, not wanting him to get the wrong idea, i said, "Best friend la uncle." haha. Then he was like, "No no, cannot say BEST... Best means no more to go already... Just say special.." haha.
I think it was funny coz before tt we were also talking about something being the "best".. I think we were talking about the apparent "BEST" prata house or something.. Then we were like saying, if something is the BEST - it isn't good, coz there's nowhere for it to go but down.. This conversation led me to think hard about a lot of stuff.. And in relation to something I mentioned in my prev post - the thing abt my singing not having techniques. Haha. I suppose that's good in a way, because techniques can be learnt and I can thus keep improving... Meaning what I am now isn't my best, i've got room to grow. Kinda feel sad for the ppl who are already v good, like at their personal best, but still not y'know.. Good.. Haha. Dunno how to say.
Though I was feeling very irritated awhile back about the whole "techniques" thing. What TECHNIQUES???? My effing goodness if when you're singing all u can do is technique here technique there, I think it just defeats the purpose. I think singing is a channel of expression, a form of release... I think that so long as you don't crack your voice, go very off-pitch/rhythm etc... And your voice sounds good, that's about it. And the best is if your emotions come through. I suppose that's why I don't understand when people keep saying what, her technique is v good, his what what is v good. If they just say that without being specific, i'm sorry but to me, it's all just "air". I cannot understand that, so I can't "hear" whatever "technique" it is you're talking about. Haha.
Anyways, back to the uncle. So he was saying, cannot say anyone is your "Best friend" coz means they have nowhere to go. So I hereby proclaim that I have no best friend! Just a bunch of "special friends" hahaha. Yep.
Alright. Am tired. And was in a bad mood today so you will pardon me if i look/sound upset. BYE
PS: Congrats to tong n tai an for making it to finals!!!=) i knew you all wld get in lo. Ask the others. I was like preparing them to cheer when the results were announced.

Things You Don't Want to Hear Over an Airline PA
Top Things You Don't Want to Overhear Over an Airline P.A. System
1. Ocean crossing flight: This is your Captain speaking, I just wanted to take this time to remind you that your seat cushions can be used as floatation devices.
2. Hey folks, we're going to play a little game of geography trivia. If you can recognize where we are, tell your flight attendant and receive an extra pack of peanuts.
3. Our loss of altitude allows a unique close up perspective of the local terrain. I assure you that it's all part of our airline's new commitment to make your a flight a sight seeing extravaganza.
4. Goose! Bogey at 2 o'clock....one on our tail!!!! Eject!!!! Eject!!!!!!!
5. Ummmmmm....Sorry......(silence)
6. (As the plane turns around right after takeoff)....uhhhhh....we have to go back ....we ..we ....uhhhhhh ....forgot something.....
7. I'm sure everyone noticed the loss of an engine, however the reduction in weight and drag will mean we'll be flying much more efficiently now.
8. Fasten your seat belt. (same tone your friend with the suicidal driving tendencies uses when you get in the car).
9. This is your Captain speaking....these stupid planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to.. so you'll have to give me some leeway...
10. It would be a good idea if right now everyone closed their shades and watched the in-flight movie.
11. We've now reached our cruising altitude of 20,000 feet and ... Oh noooooooo!!!!!..
12. Don't worry! That one is always on E...
13. Get the parachutes ready...
14. Drinks are on me...
15. I'll have what the Captain's having...
16. Hey capt'n take another hit man...
Murphy's Laws Of Combat
- If the enemy is in range, so are you.
- Incoming fire has the right of way.
- Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
- There is always a way.
- The easy way is always mined.
- Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
- Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
- The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: a. When you're ready for them. b. When you're not ready for them.
- Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
- If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you.
- The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
- A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.
- If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
- Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
- Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.
- Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
- Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
- If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.
- When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
- Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.
HEHEHEHEHHE. I love the Murphy's Law of combat one.. And the first few ones of the Airplane one.. Hahaha super funny la.

Then I was like, "For what?" Then she said, "Coz you're a good teacher"

Daytime activities everyday include lessons, tuition and er, hanging wit my darling CAME =)) I listened to the results over the phone and didn't go support. Coz my mom scolded me like *(&#$ for going home late for several nights in a row. I think i mentioned it already right. Yea. Then anw, Tong & Jinglun both made it to Wildcard round... Was another shot at the finals... In fact, it was their last shot at the finals le so.. Yup! So Thursday, after my tuition I went down to support them. Met Sam(lee) at the KAP bus stop then we went down! Haha.
Sam parked the car too tightly and I had to climb over to the backseat to exit la! Coz my humps were too bloody big. Siannnn! Haha. Anw then we kept talking abt "backseat action" Mwahahahaha damn funny. Oh and Sam bought Tong this sunflower!! Then during tong's song we asked LTA to give it to her! hahaha Funny sia! Anw yea! The atmosphere at the wildcard round was much less tense than that of the semi final rounds.. Haha. Anyways, here are the videos =)

BAS Semi Final(Mon) - Sitong - Qi Shi Hen/Hai Ai Ni
I cheer very loud hor? I tell you.. All her supporters all I hype up one. I threatened to slaughter them if they didn't cheer. Then i kept cue-ing them! Hahaha. I make a damn good cheerleader can.. Minus the hot bod. Hahaha. Scream until my head voice my chest voice.. LOLOLOL j/k! Haha
BAS Semi Final(Tues) - Jinglun - Chen Mo Wan Ju (Silent Toy)
See? I wasn't there to support, so significantly less cheering. HAHAHAHAHA
Wildcard - Sitong - Shen Hu Xi
Haha. Cool right the flower part? And sitong brought light sticks for us to wave! It was a very very pretty sight though it wasn't reflected in the video. Haha and I think i was pms-ing or something but I almost cried twice during her performance and the comments that part leh! Esp when the judge said she hen2 nu3 li4.. I had to control my tears leh! Omg. I'm getting too emotional le shit. PMS PMS! Hahaha.
Wildcard - Jinglun - Shu Le Ni Ying Le Shi Jie You Ru He
Hahahaha we were also waving light sticks for him, then i think he was like very happy or what, kept smiling all of a sudden! Later the judge say him tt time, me & tong were like, shit, we hai4 him by waving & distracting him la! He knn still wave at us somemore! lol! But jaylim say want to cut him record sia! Hahaha good huh!
Wildcard - Jenny - How Do I Live
Hmm.. Jenny is a contestant who's really sincere and really likeable =) The first time we saw her perform it was a bit of a shock coz we weren't expecting such energy from her (she performed Believe by Cher, complete with her own echoes and dance routine) but after seeing her each round, we gained a lot of respect and admiration for her =D Though 2 people sang How Do I Live on Tong's semifinal night (Mon) - one of them being Jenny - they both didn't interpret the song well. This time, however, was a big improvement =) It was great to see and hear la =)
Even though I kenna kicked out quite early on (quarters! =)) during this competition, I feel i've gained a lot of experience =D Being the first solo singing competition I've taken part in, I feel that I've already gone very far =D I'm truly truly happy for the experience, all the new friends i've gained, and all that I've learnt.
That said, I wanna tell all the other contestants, especially Tong & Jinglun, that I'm really really so super proud of you all for coming this far!! Wildcard leh! Means you all are like, Top 50 out of the initial 400+ contestants! It's really really good le! =) We can only get better with all this experience and really really, I'm very very proud of what we've all done =) Especially for all the wildcard ppl - it was the most taxing on you all le (ahem, and your supporters lor) Only one thing left to say - JIAYOU! =)
Alright! Ok then Thurs before their Wildcard right, was our Duet Superstars audition la (yea we got a lotta competitions hor.. hahahaha) Thankfully we got in. The results were released to the semi finalists today.. Then I left my hp at home today so I was basically a nervous wreck the whole day! Then tong and I were stressing - very worried tt we didn't get in know, coz I dunno why but I keep having this feeling we did really badly for auditions - we sang Yi Yan Wan Nian (one verse one chorus) but anw.. Thank goodness la.. Got the email when I arrived home. Haha.
Anyways right, for the juniors who took part this time and didn't get shortlisted, don't worry about it. See it all as an experience. There's always Talentime at end of year! =) And seriously, you''ve all only been with the club for about a month right, the improvement can't show yet. After awhile more, you'll find yourself more able to project yourself and your voice, as well as present yourself very well onstage =) Keep hanging in there! You guys will get there!
Speaking of competitions.. We're taking part in the SMU Virtuoso Competition =) Fun fun fun! Tong n I joining Group Category. Then if they allow it, we'll both individually join Solo category too =) Hee! A bit scared about this one coz the Polys and the Unis will all be taking part! Not just SIM so it will be scary.. Competition will be tough! Haha. Hopefully we make it through =) The top prize is TEMPTING! Cut single leh!!!! WOOHOO. Haha just talking abt it gets me excited. I'm a certified competition Junkie le! Lol. Coz I've finally understood what to do for competitions. Now excited to try it out! Must get over my stage fright!! Haha.
Just to end off. My mom said this today - "Your dad says to bring your boyfriend home for dinner."
-SHOCK-
*looks around* What boyfriend???? Grrr~
btw! was happily talking tt day =) it's all so messy but still so right, y'know? I'm so screwed. Hahaha
