Happy New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's been a while since I last celebrated Chinese New Year. I've spent my last 2 in Hong Kong.

Chinese New Year has never been my favorite festival.

Never liked the songs as I find them pretty noisy. Makes my heart and head pound.

Red was never my favorite color.

I find new year visiting quite a chore as I was made to rush from 1 relative's house to the next and more than half of them were distant relative who I hardly know (and only see them once a year, Chinese New Year's Day).

Regardless of all the things I've no liking towards. I still enjoy the fact that families and friends get to gather together, having meals, do some catching up. It's the only time where everyone can be together. However, there will always be a few who gets stuck at work, or choose to fly somewhere else.

Even with all the joyful and happy spirit spreading all over the globe (maybe at least half or a quarter), I can help but still feel a hint of emptiness in the corner of my heart and I realized that I'm not alone.

I wasn't allowed to celebrate Chinese New Year last year due to my Grandpa's passing (Chinese custom thingy). Therefore, the reason why my family decided to go for a vacation in Hong Kong. This year, we aren't allowed again due to my Grandma's passing.

My Mom cooked Popiah yesterday, and I recalled that the last time I had it was actually made by my Grandma.

Aunts mentioned that it felt weird without her around. Caught Mom in tears a few times the past few days.

It occurs to me that people seems to be leaving one by one. That didn't felt good.

But as I was going down with all my negative thinking. I recalled all the adorable little nieces and nephews I've met during my Grandma's wake and New Year's Day. Just when I was thinking that the family will just continue to get smaller, I realized that it has actually grown without me realizing.

Yup, the little ones. Brought in life and joys.

Reflection

2012-01-02T01:17:00.000+08:00

Looking back at 2011.

It wasn't that great... Pretty depressing things happened...

Experienced 1 or 2 pretty rough times (My parents' involvement in an accident & my Grandma's death)...

Yet at the same time, I can't deny that there were also amazing moments (The founding of Bee-flat Major & attending w-inds. concert)...

Though the rough times, I learn, I grow.

Though my parents' accident and the passing of my Grandma, I've learned the importance of family bonding.

I've learned that I need to be strong, and I can't hide under their wings forever. It's about time that I step forward to keep them safe.

Too many a time, we choose to skip a family dinner for parties with friends. Just because we assume that there's more fun out with friends. Just cause we assume that our family members will always be by our side, we can have dinner any other day. We tend to take them for granted.

For everything that happened, there's always a reason, a lesson to learn. 'When you lose something, you'll gain something in return' and vice versa.

Life is about choices. You can choose to be happy or sad. You can choose to be grateful or choose to blame.

I see misfortunes as a reminder, a wake up call. Human are forgetful beings who needs to be constantly reminded. We tend to take things for granted.

"Count your blessings." I always remind myself.

All the ups and downs in life makes who you are today.
For the better or the worse, it's your choice to make.

Happy New Year!!! (^-^)

不想出門！

2011-12-28T17:39:00.000+08:00

為什麼不喜歡出門？

因為要煩惱穿甚麼好。
因為要打扮。
因為要花錢。
因為外面人很多。
因為要人擠人。
因為懶。
因為不想出門。
因為在家里比較舒服。
因為下大雨。
因為太陽太曬了。

等等。。。等等。。。

對於一個宅女來說，不出門的理由可以有千百重。

就是不想出門！

外婆，I miss you.

2011-12-22T23:27:00.000+08:00

It's hard to get over someone who takes up a huge part of your life.

外婆, I'm missing you badly.

I remember walking around the mall a few days a go, and hear a little girl shouting “外婆！外婆！”.

My heart skipped a beat, and I pause to see where it's coming from. There I saw, a little girl happily running towards her Granny.

I envy her.

Was singing Corrinne May's 'Fly Away' last night for a audition.

Didn't expect myself to be on the verge of tears after I finished the 2nd verse.

The image of Granny's passing appeared in my head.

"When I saw her laying in her bed.
Fragile as a child.
Pale just like an angel taking flight.
I held her as I cried."

The lyrics described the last moments I had with her far too well.

Dreamed of her this afternoon. She appeared in my room, standing right beside my Clavi, looking at the photos on my wall. Only thing I remembered was me busting into tears when she looked and smile at me.

21 days since you've left. I thought I've moved on, but apparently not.

I'm trying.

Too much memories of you in this house we live in and it's even harder to let go as you've been such a wonderful person.

I miss you so.

低頭看白雲

2011-11-08T00:40:00.000+08:00

平時要看雲朵，都一定要抬頭往上看。

甚麼時候可以低頭看它呢？只有在飛機上。

搭飛機的時候，我最喜歡往窗外看。就算坐不到窗口邊的位子，我還是會探頭往窗口望過去。

白雲的變幻莫測，彷彿對照出地面上的景色。

有的時候像一群在海面上的島嶼、有時又像南極的冰天雪地、偶爾又像蓋滿房子的城鎮。

我拿出手機，試圖把我看到所謂的“島嶼”和“城鎮”拍下。

奇妙的是，這些景象是照片拍不出來的。只有當下看，才看得出來的畫面。（或許是腦袋在跟我開玩笑，一切純屬想像。）

人死了之後會往哪兒去？會上天堂？會到極樂世界？或是到一個和我們現在生活類似的空間去？

我看到的那些景象或許就是所謂的天堂、極樂世界、另一個空間吧？

因為這樣相信着，死亡就變得比較不可怕。也讓我相信離我而去的人就在那裡等著。而將來的那麼一天，我會到那裡再和他們相見。

Happy Halloween

2011-11-01T21:36:00.001+08:00

Kinda late...

But...

Happy Halloween!!!

演唱會後症候群

2011-10-17T19:10:00.004+08:00

症状如下：

第一階段（演唱會後）。。。

語無倫次：會不停重復著某些字眼。比如，「好棒啊！」、「太帥了！」、「天啊！」等等，之類的話。
耳鳴：原因是因為遭受到長大兩個小時，超大聲的音樂和旁邊就快要患上「演唱會後症候群」的病患的尖叫聲。
聲音沙啞：原因是因為在兩個小時裡，不停的大聲尖叫、大聲唱歌。
心情亢奮：實際原因不名。但是會不停的唱或播放演唱會上所聽到的歌。

第二階段（演唱會後的第二天）。。。

喉嚨痛：是聲音沙啞的第二階段。因為不由自主的，大聲尖叫，破音也繼續叫。這也是所謂的「喊破喉嚨」。
手臂/肩膀酸痛：原因是因為手臂無間斷的舉在空中揮擺，同時舉著熒光棒或看版之類的物品所造成的。
某些第一阶段的症状也有可能持续。

我生病了。。。我是说我真的生病了。。。

感冒（怀疑是被小妹传染的）。。。

w-inds. 314 10th Anniversary Live Tour in HK

2011-10-17T18:33:00.005+08:00

有的時候，就是需要那一股衝動。不需要想得太多。我是一個會太多的人。

3個星期前，一股衝動、一個瘋狂的想法、不顧一切的任性，（加上朋友的支持和聳恿）。我就上網訂了酒店、買了飛機票、演唱會門票，一股腦的飛到香港來了。

w-inds. 出道已經有10年了。我也支持他們，支持了有7、8年了吧。感覺上有點不可思議。

雖然，偶爾會把視線轉移到別的藝人身上。雖然如此，但是最後視線還是會回到他們身上。

我觉得要得知他們的消息很难。加上不会看日文的我更是难上加难。只有偶爾上網，看看他們是否有發新歌曲。

想要在新加坡买到他们的商品也不简单。都要上网定购或拜托出国的朋友帮我买。

這是我第一次看他們的演唱會，第一次看到他們本人。也是第一次飛到國外看演唱會。好多第一次都聚集在一起。

在演唱會會場外的我，也不知道為甚麼莫名的興奮加緊張。我上台表演都從沒那麼緊張過。還好進了會場後，情緒平復下來了。

可能是我喊的太誇張了。坐在我前面的小姐轉過身對我微笑，然後把她多出來的一只螢光棒借給我。我還不小心的把它給弄壞了。真是不好意思！

就那麼從頭尖叫到尾聲。喉嚨開始對我抗議了！還好接下來的三天不需要教課。真是幸運！

看表演是一種學習。看演唱會有的時候是一種震撼教育。他們激起了，我想讓自己在表演方面做得更好的動力。

能參與他們第10年的演唱會，真是太棒了！也圓了我自己的一個夢想。感動啊！

靈感

2011-10-13T23:43:00.003+08:00

靈感，是一個在你防不勝防，突如其來突襲你的東西。

有時候，是早上一睡醒的時候。
害得我臉沒洗、牙沒刷，就坐在鍵盤前快快把它記錄下來。

要不然，就在我肚子餓，煮麵煮到一半的時候來敲我的門。
這時候，我只好讓它在門外等著。（要不我家可能會被我燒了！）只能希望等一會兒，去開門的時候它還在等著。

總而言之，它就是喜歡在我不方便、沒空的時候來找我。在我很閒的時候，又不知去向。

請你下一次和我預約好嗎？

搭錯車

2011-10-13T21:42:00.005+08:00

那天搭錯車，害得我要走遠路。就這樣走過了我以前念的學校。也都忘了畢業多久了。但那麼一走，讓我想起了好多回憶。

像開學的第一天，坐在舞蹈室的地板上，聽著講師說一堆有的沒的。發現新學校不適合穿短裙（雖然我沒有穿裙的習慣）。

和同學到附近吃午餐時，走過的路。回想起好多，以前在學校里、學校附近亂晃的日子。想起曾經常常聚在一起，但畢業後很久沒連絡的同學（希望大家都過得好）。

搭錯車、走錯路不一定是壞事。它讓你走到你很久沒去的地方，或是你不可能去的地方。

所以不要說我糊塗。我是去探險！

好好去探險吧！

忙裡偷閒

2011-09-26T15:08:00.006+08:00

陰涼的天氣，暖暖的大帽T。

空空的巴士，一個小時的車程。

塞在耳朵里的耳機，播放喜歡的音樂。

懶懶的窩在座位里，看窗外的飛馳而過的風景。

慵懶的下午，工作之間的忙裡偷閒。

我喜歡的感覺。

避風港

2011-08-21T13:15:00.004+08:00

當家不再是你的避風港的時候，你會逃到那裡去？

最近家裡的事太多，接二連三的來。一波未平，一波又起，讓我覺得非常累。

今天心情非常糟，有一種想哭又不哭不出來的感覺。很悶。

也許每天早上起來，對自己說一聲 “加油” 已經沒什麼多大的用處了。
也許我到了下午需要再對自己再說一聲 “加油” 來補充補充。

最近也覺得自己有一點逃避的傾向。像是早上起來後，我會不想踏出房間，不想面對一天的開始。

有時候，大人們可能無心的說了一些話，但是他們不知道有時候那些無心的話，對我來說是一種壓力。

對於別人的私事，我是一個 “你不說，我不問” 的人。因為我覺得如果他要說的話，自然會告訴我。

對於我自己，“你不問，我不說”。尤其是在事情發生的當下。但我也會有想找人說一說，訴一訴苦的時候。可是我發現我很難開口。總覺得身邊的人，都在很興奮的，劈裡啪啦說着他們的事。

也許我發出求救訊號的時候，也沒人會發現吧？

如果我在facebook問 “有誰願意聽我說話？”。也許會有很多人說他們願意聽。但在相處的時候，有多少人會注意到你有話要說？

也因為有如此的感受，讓我覺得要多注意身邊的人。

我討厭

2011-08-13T21:37:00.001+08:00

我討厭，肚子很餓的時候吃到很難吃的東西。

我討厭，吃飯的時候被電話打擾。

我討厭，一直被問一些有的沒的問題。

我討厭，電話一整天響個不停。

我討厭，睡覺時被電話吵醒。

我討厭，被強迫去做我不喜歡的事情。

我討厭，人群。

我討厭，吵鬧。

我討厭，別人對我打分數。

我討厭，自以為是的人拿他們的標準來衡量我的做法、想法和觀念。

我討厭，被當作是理所當然。

我討厭，負能量。

＊抱歉！這篇文章怨氣很重。我去找個符來貼一貼，再拿個佛經給它唸一唸。

初衷

2011-06-27T21:56:00.004+08:00

左手腕好像不小心弄傷了，就覺得怪怪的。可能是我彈琴太大力，不小心把它弄傷了。

雖然如此，我還是不知死活的去練琴！哈哈哈！

發現今天練琴、練歌的感覺不一樣。
以前練習就是練習。
會很在乎那裡唱不好、彈不好、好不好聽。

今天發現我不在乎這些，就很enjoy的在彈、在唱。像一開始唱歌、彈琴的感覺。

我才發現我忘了一開始的那個感覺。

音樂本來是我的一個嗜好。但在我選擇進藝術學院念音樂系後，它變成我的課業。
畢業後，就便成了工作（雖然也不是完全的工作，但也佔了50％以上）。

對它嚴苛、對它打分數。
每天拚了命的要快點進步、要做得更好。
然後忘了一開始為甚麼會選擇音樂。

可能是我今天太累了。反而在唱歌彈琴的時候找到能夠平撫情緒的抒發點。

開學的第一天，我找回我對音樂的初衷！

David Choi Live in Singapore!

2011-06-22T01:45:00.004+08:00

I think I've mentioned a fair amount of times about how I'm a fan of a group of Youtubers... And David Choi is one of them!

Now I'm listening to his 1st album 'Only You' while I'm typing this post (Been looking for this album for a while, and now I have it with his autograph!)...

It's really exciting for me to get to see him in person and most importantly hear him sing and perform live!

I would say that this is the best performance out of all that I've seen at Esplanade's Recital Studio (though I haven't been to a lot, 2nd on my ranking list is Crowd Lu 盧廣仲).

And I'm in David Choi's video!!! Hahaha!!! Yes, I'm in the crowd! Try spotting me in the video!

The whole concert is simply filled with:

'Lar's randomly put at the end of every sentence... (as a Singaporean, I would say that it's used grammatically incorrectly... Singlish-wise... lol!)
Ice Mountain (part of rule breaking)
Rule breaking (was thankful that I decided to bring my camera, cos we broke some Esplanade rules XP)
Tweeting (@davidchoimusic ice mountain)
Laughter
Awkward moments
And of course great music!

Downside, David said he got a sore throat this morning...
I could hear his voice getting huskier as the performance go on, especially when he sang the last song for the night 'By my side'...
Being a vocalist, I feel the pain when I hear voices like that...

Take care David! You've more shows coming up!

The show was awesome! Enjoyed myself so much.

Converted my sister to his fan after bringing her with me to this show.
She's determine to master playing the bar chords.

It's not easy to grab everyone's attention for 2 hours with just your voice and a guitar. It's mad skills!

Great show! We're inspired!

黑白

2011-06-21T00:45:00.001+08:00

是非。黑白。

我一直覺得這世上的一切都沒有絕對的對或錯，好或不好。

如果說錯／壞是黑，對／好是白。
那一切都是灰色的，不同色調的灰色。

有的可能會偏向白、有的會偏向黑。或許會有一個是卡在中間的。

書上學到的不一定是對的。報紙、新聞上報到的不一定是完全的事實。

古時候，他們說地球是平的。後來發現它其實是圓的。
小時候，科學課本里讀到的［冥王星］是個星球。我長大後，它怎麼變成了矮行星？

拿中國文化的［陰陽］來看看吧。雖然沒灰色，但白色里有黑，黑色里有白。
光明的地方就有黑暗。有陽光的地方就有影子。（看［痞子英雄］就會知道這個！）

事事無絕對。
你不一定是對的，他不一定是錯的。
這是立場問題，就看你選擇相信甚麼。

我相信［冥王星］是個星球！＝）

TEA'US

2011-03-10T14:58:00.001+08:00

Entrance that's facing the street

While walking around Myeong-dong, you might want to stop by somewhere for a cup of coffee, take a little break before continuing with your shopping.

TEA'US is a coffee place opened by Korean actor 권상우 (Kwon Sang Woo). You might know him from dramas like 'Stairways to Heaven' and 'Cinderella Man'.

As my Mum is a total fan of his, we decided to bring her over to TEA'US.

TEA'US situated right beside Exit number 6 of Myeong-dong station.

You'll see lots of giant posters of Kwon Sang Woo on the building on your right when you came out of the exit. That's where TEA'US is! You shouldn't have much problem finding it.

Interior of TEA'US

I would say that the design of that place is simple and minimalist. The environment felt relaxing and soothing even though you're actually on the busy streets of Myeong-dong. It's pretty spacious too.

Kwon Sang Woo's photos are hang on every wall and every corner of the cafe but in a humble way (That's what I felt).

I did not try any of the coffee, as I'm not a coffee person myself. My sister got a Mocha and I did not get any feedback from her. So I thought it should have tasted like any regular Mocha?

Ordering and Collection Counter

I got myself a Mr TEA'US Tea. It seems like a signature drink there. It has a hint of peppermint, smells good, but it's rather tasteless. I'll only say that it tasted refreshing. But I don't think I'll buy this drink again. It's just not fantastic to me.

And of course there are Kwon Sang Woo merchandises for sale. Postcards and Mugs with Kwon Sang Woo's face on it.

Mailbox for Fan mails

You might spot a Red Letterbox somewhere in the middle of the cafe. It's for fans to drop their fan mails, and of course these mails are for Kwon Sang Woo. But how often will he collect them, I've no idea.

Anyway, we got my Mum to drop a mail for him. It took a while for us to persuade her as she found it embarrassing. But looking through all the photos I took during this trip, I felt that my Mum looked the happiness when she's at TEA'US.

Some of the Merchandise for sale

Directions to TEA'US:

- Take Subway and alight at Myeong-dong Station.

- Exit Myeong-dong Station from Exit #6.

- TEA'US will be on your right hand side of the street.

You might want to check out TEA'US Website too.

Turtle Power!!!

2011-03-04T17:54:00.005+08:00

Was attending a Tea Session/workshop with MOE and we were asked to dress up a member of our team into a superhero using the things that were provided (big pieces of paper, color markers and a scarf) and then have the other teams guess it.

My team draw a turtle shell and stuck it to the back for a team member and rolled up a piece of paper as a make-shift stick. And there we have it! Yup! It's a NINJA TURTLE! TURTLE POWER!!!

Surprisingly, one of the participants even called out the name of the turtle. Donatello! (Actually I dun have any particular turtle in mind. It just so happens that Donatello's weapon was the easiest to make.

Coincidentally, another team chose Ninja Turtles as well out of the whole bunch of superheroes available out there.

I conclude that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is the most popular superhero in my generation. Hahaha!

They were my favourite! I remembered that my favorite turtle is Leonardo (the blue one) and I use to have a Leonardo pencil sharpener. Until my kindergarden teacher confiscated it cause it was distracting a number of students in my class (Hey! Ninja Turtle was the coolest thing!) and I never see it again. *sobs*

At the end of the year, my teacher returned me a Donatello sharpener cause she lost mine. I know adults can't tell. (To them they are all turtles. But they are different!) How can you take my Leonardo turtle and return me a Donatello turtle?!

I've no idea where that sharpener is now...

And I came across the old video from smosh.com (more YouTubers!) while looking for the Ninja Turtles theme song. They're pretty cool too!

Superman? Batman? Spiderman? Whatever man! Turtles FTW!!! Turtle Power!!! COWABUNGA!!!

*sings*

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

Heroes in a half-shell...

Turtle power!

Technology Ruins Romance

2011-02-15T13:23:00.008+08:00

I thought of writing another entry in relation to Valentine's Day...

I know Valentine's Day's over in Singapore. But it's still Valentine's Day in Los Angeles!
(or just take this as an early White Day entry! If I happen to not update on that day)

After sharing a song by David Choi yesterday, I'll share a series of videos 'Technology Ruins Romance' by Wong Fu Productions...

I'm a total fan of these whole bunch of Youtubers!
David Choi, Wong Fu Productions, Kevin Wu, Ryan Higa...

How true! Thanks to technology, everything is so convenient now!
And there goes all the fairytale-like and magical love stories...

However, the way how technology makes it so easy for everyone to be connected does help save a number of people from unwanted heartaches...

It's just that people these days believe in making things happen rather than waiting for it to happen... (This takes away some workload for Destiny...)

I guess the most romantic scenario technology can provide would be 'Lost and Found Love'...
How people get reconnected again through social network sites...
(It's a kind of destiny too? Come on! Don't be so hard on Destiny!)

My personal favorite out of the whole series would have to be
"Technology Ruins Romance: Destiny"...

"Gotta love Facebook stalking!!!" - Philip Wang

On a side note, I can't stand people messaging me on social network sites and ask me questions about myself when all they need to do is to read my profile... READ!!!

I'm ANNOYED!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2011-02-14T22:25:00.002+08:00

It's my 24th year spending Valentine's Day with a 'Single' status...

Apparently, my Prince charming is still M.I.A.... I guess he got lost or got stuck in traffic...

According to a friend of mine, Zuo En.

"hahaha ur prince charming probably still busy now trying to increase his charm to impress u in future.. HAHA.. give him some time.. lolllll"

Then he better do a good job on that! Hahaha!

I'm not the kind to get all emo on V-Day just because I'm single...

Most of the time, I'm grateful to be alone which saves me from all the emotion roller coaster and responsibilities...

I'll just like to point out some stuff I dislike about Valentine's Day...

How prices of flowers and chocolates and balloons and teddies shoot up the roof? "Like a G6! Like a G6!"*sings*
How people (couples actually) look at you as if you're an alien when your out on the streets alone?
How I can't catch a movie today cause all the the couples seems to be flocking to the cinemas? How creative! *sarcasm*

I actually wanted to catch a movie today... Alone maybe? Didn't make plans to call anyone up...

The cinema staff can give me a confuse look when I say I want "ONE TICKET" and the couples can give me that 'You're-An-Alien' stare for all I care!

Coincidently my friends called me like a few hours ago asking if I'll want to catch a movie later... (They can read my mind!)

However, tickets were all either sold out or left with those sucky 1st row seats or single seats all over the place... Reason being? (Please refer to point No.3 above)...

Looking at how the tickets are selling, I guess it's better for me to stay at home since my sixth sense tells me that there's gonna be a crowd out there...

I thank David Choi for posting up his song 'Valentine' on Youtube today...

Great way to help the singles though Valentine's Day when they're stuck with all the lovey-dovey couple coming at them from North, South, East, West, Up, Down, Left, Right...

Enjoy the song!

Valentine - David Choi

I see a couple strollin' down the street
They're so in love,
There is not a worry
And to the clock they said goodbye
They ain't in a hurry

And sometimes I feel kind of lonely
Ask myself where is my one and only
Until she comes to me, I'll wait
Until then I shouldn't be feeling this way

Won't let Valentine's get me down
Or when Christmas time comes around
Just cuz I'm alone right now
Don't mean I should hold a frown

Oh in the meantime love is here you'll find
The simple things that slip your mind
The joy of hope for better days
You know that love can find it's ways

When you finally find the one who you can call your own
You can tell yourself the wait was worth it all
Cuz you got something here to last forever

I can smile cuz there's so much in store
The future holds for me more than I will ever know
Shouldn't make no room for feeling sad

Won't let Valentine's get me down
Or when Christmas time comes around
Just cuz I'm alone right now
Don't mean I should hold a frown

Oh in the meantime love is here you'll find
The simple things that slip your mind
The joy of hope for better days
You know that love can find it's ways

Won't let Valentine's get me down
Or when Christmas time comes around
Just cuz I'm alone right now
Don't mean I should hold a frown

Oh in the meantime love is here you'll find
The simple things that slip your mind
The joy of hope for better days
You know that love can find it's ways

Lastly, I shall clarify this again... I'm not EMO!

I'm just ANNOYED!!!

我的第一位偶像！！！

2011-02-11T10:26:00.001+08:00

星期二在茶餐廳收到一張點歌單。

那位叔叔點了［林志穎］的《十七歲的雨季》。

當時不記得那首歌怎麼唱，只知道副歌的那一句，“十七歲那年的雨季。。。”。

所以唱了在我歌譜里唯一一首［林志穎］的歌，《牽掛妳的我》。

不知道為甚麼？這是一首我從小到大都無法忘記的歌。

昨天有時間待在家里，想起那張點歌單，就上了Youtube聽一聽《十七歲的雨季》。

然後我又看了很多他以前的MV。。。真的是我小時候的回憶！

小時後看超多他演的電影！（好想再看一遍！）

他是我的第一個偶像！＊驕傲＊

記得小時候鄰里商店外面會有轉偶像明星卡的機器。

（我沒有時常轉啦！但就是有轉到一張［林志穎］的偶像卡。）

有一次媽媽買菜後回到家，拿了一張［林志穎］的偶像卡給我。

她說她經過一間店，看到店里的叔叔在修理［轉卡機］，把［轉卡機］里的卡都拿出來了。

就那麼巧的讓我媽看到一張很帥的［林志穎］偶像卡，就開口要買那張卡。

叔叔原本不肯賣，他說一定要用轉的。

傍邊的阿姨幫媽媽說情，說直接買和轉沒差。

最後叔叔還是把卡賣給了我媽。

然後就到我手上啦！

我還收這那兩張［明星卡］喔！

哈哈哈！我的童年回憶！

Rainy days...

2011-01-29T23:46:00.000+08:00

It's been raining a lot recently...
Is it the rainy reason again?

I observed something about the rain these days... It's kind of like a on and off thing...

I remember how rainy seasons use to have heavy downpours through a part of the day... But these days it seems to be raining a few times a day with breaks in between... I'm not liking it...

If I were to leave the house after a heavy downpour, I'll assume that it will not rain anymore (so I'll be out without my umbrella) and then I'll get stuck somewhere because it rained again... But thanks to the 'break' every now and then, I can quickly move to the next point with a shelter...

What in the world happen to the Sky? Who or what made her so sad or heartbroken that she's crying this much? I'm even suspecting that she's having a depression (because of the on and off raining through out the day)...

I'm not really complaining about the rain... I like it! But only when I'm indoors and dry (I hate being stuck in soggy shoes and wet socks)...

I like the sound it makes when it hits on my window sill ... Especially at this time...

I just feel that the sound of the rain kind of quieten things down... No more sounds of children screaming and shouting in the park right outside my window (Even though I live at the 12th floor, I can still hear them loud and clear)... No more irritating construction noises (it's been years, and it nv seems to be completed)... Maybe it's more like the rain chased them away...

Maybe it's just a familiar sound that I'm use to as a kid... I remember how the rain sounds like when it came crashing (yes, I really mean crash!) down on the metal roof of the kampong house that I use to stay with my Grandparents... And how we need to run around the house with containers to collect the rain water which was sipping through the roof...

No matter how much I love the rain... Sky, can you hold back your tears for a while and tell my what's bothering you? Your tears had sent floods and taken innocent lives... It's not fair to make others cry together with you...

I-M-Possible

2011-01-18T02:28:00.001+08:00

I was inspired by a bunch of stuffs I watch today which sets me into thinking mode...

Watched 'Alice in Wonderland'... I felt that the strongest message that movie implies is to 'Believe in the impossible'...

Alice in Wonderland

My favorite lines from the movie is the one first asked by young Alice and answer by her father.

And the simliar lines were repeated towards the end of the movie. But this time asked by the Mad Hatter and answered by Alice...

Young Alice: Do you think I've gone round the bend?

Alice's Father: I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonker, off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

I felt that there are some precious things we grew out off which we shouldn't. Thing like creativity, the ability to dream and believe in the impossible.

Like how I love Pablo Picasso's quote,

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."

Neverland, a place I've grew out of.

Is that the reason why Wendy and his brothers (from Peter Pan) couldn't return to Neverland after they grew up? Cause they lose their imaginations?

And I came to reflect upon myself.

I use to believe in 'Nothing is impossible. Even impossible spells I-M-Possible.'

There's a will, there's a way. There's always definitely a way out.

But I've no idea since when, I started being negative. I remember myself telling people that 'It's not possible to do this or that' rather frequently.

Time to make some changes! Start dreaming and believing... I'm gonna believe that I do have the magic to make things happen! (I graduated from Hogwarts, not Lasalle... *brainwashing in progress*)

You may disagree with me as all these are just base on some crazy fictional stories or movies...

Then take a look at some of the 'Crazy' (I'll prefer to call it AWESOME) things people have done...

This video is filled with 5 minutes of AWESOMENESS!!!

*I particularly like the clip of the little girl with the bike at 3:46... Who says females can't drive?!

So next time if any person were to call me 'Mad', 'Crazy', 'Insane' or anything along that line... I'm gonna take it as a compliment... Smile and say thank you! (Lolz! I bet that will freak them out even more!)

Anyway, ~~Dream on!~~ *ahem... I mean... Start dreaming!

Resolutions?! Yeah right!

2011-01-03T14:10:00.000+08:00

It's the first Monday of 2011! Are you feeling the blues? Lolz!

My New Year resolutions shall remind the same as last year... 'To be a better person'... Not that I didn't manage to achieve them, but it's a long term thing... More like some kind of values to me...

I'm not a fan of making 'New Year Resolutions'... 9 out of 10 times, it's never done... You really don't have to make changes only at the start of the year... Do it now!

For those who are still making resolutions, I think that it's better to have small little goals to meet every month to keep you on track...

Here's my little goals...

I've decided to be healthier and started a working out routine since last month, and I'm determine to keep it going on...

I feel a need to change my attitude towards life... I need to be more positive, have more confident in myself and more willingness to face up challenges (I don't know why I have this fear constantly)...

I'm thinking of carrying a little notebook around and joint down little things that I did that makes me proud of myself, little things that makes me happy as well as positive thoughts...

Have fun planning your goals for this year!

Wrapping up on Christmas!

2010-12-30T17:53:00.002+08:00

So how did my year end went? It's filled with dinner meet-ups...
And that explains why my weight is hitting the roof...

Received a number of gifts from friends and through gift exchanges...
I hope whoever got my gifts enjoys them as much as I do...

A Box of Food from Katie

Received this box of food from Katie during gift exchange on Christmas Eve at the 'Playground Studio'. (Half of it is gone from sharing and me munching them up.)

It's was BBQ outside the studio and like a live-band karaoke session in the studio... I guess that's what you get when you hang around a bunch of musicians and musical instruments...

To think that another friend wanted to invited me to join them for a Karaoke session that day...

An accessory from Kat-Jie

This is actually the first christmas present I received... I got this really rock and punk looking accessory from Kathryn-Jie! I like it! She got this for me from Thailand!

Presents from Fern

And these are from Fern... A Tote bag, a water bottle and a Sneezy luggage tag... I've been wanting a water bottle for a while so I was really glad to receive that. The Sneezy luggage tag suits me pretty well since I really DO sneeze-a-lot! Ahhh... Chooo!

from Christy

Know what they say, 'Be careful what you wish for'?
I got myself another water bottle! Lolz!
But I'm not complaining! These are from Christy during the gift exchange at our Breads & Biscuits Christmas gathering.
Recently I was just going on about being more environmental friendly. Reusable shopping bag and water bottle? Great choice! I love it!

Messages and silly photo

How can a Christmas end without some heart-warming messages?
Mav & Christy when around giving all of us magnets with their funny photos on it... Hahaha!

I know I've very poor memory... Thanks for giving this to me! I'll be reminded of you 2 every time I open the fridge to get some food!

I'm thankful and grateful for all the presents I've received (Oh, it's not Thanksgiving?) especially the water bottles! (I've no idea why I'm so excited over the water bottle...) Did I mention that I received another 2 water bottles when I bought 2 packs of batteries from the supermarket?

Ya... Be careful what you wish for... Happy Holidays!

It's Christmas Eve!

2010-12-24T12:23:00.004+08:00

Ok, my Christmas Eve morning didn't start off that well...

Was waken up pretty early in the morning as my Grandma's now staying over at my place, sharing my bedroom with me...

She tried to clear my bin early in the morning and she always have problems opening it up and putting the lid back...

Squatting in a corner of the station.

Loads of noise from the bin followed by the most annoying noise of all... PLASTIC BAGS!!!

I really hate those noise... Especially in the mornings when I'm sleeping... But that's the most common noise I get most mornings when my Grandma comes over...

Enough of complains... Although it's Christmas Eve, it's pretty gloomy at my place... I've been invited by 3 different groups for celebrations today (guess i'm still kinda popular even with my epic anti-social-ness)...

Frankly speaking, yesterday I was planning to stay at home the whole day today... My belief is to avoid crowds by all means... And being out on a festive season means you'll get stuck IN crowds!

But due to the extreme gloominess at home, I decided to come out and meet my friends for lunch in Orchard (1of the most crowded place in Singapore)!

So i'm like squatting at a corner of the station as they're all late...

I must be out of my mind...

I'll be missing you greatly...

2010-12-12T12:06:00.003+08:00

Me and Kenny (who was amazed by my hair extensions)

I remember the days when we use to hangout together in the studio to sing and practice for performances...

How you try to teach me to walk with style and not slouch... How you give suggestions to make my outfit look better...

Hadn't hear from you for so long...
I thought you were still busy, but I was wrong...
You got so ill and we didn't know...
2 dreadful weeks passed and you were gone...

The memories of you kept replaying itself...

I remember us celebrating Klenn's birthday at Swensens after 1 of our performances...

How you asked for a different key but ended up with the same key when we were trying to sing the Birthday Song for Klenn...

How you coolly put down your card on the bill and had the waitress stared at you in confusion because you gave her your EZ-Link card instead of a credit card.

You had the whole table busted out into laughter, and the waitress was wondering you how much money do you actually stored in your EZ-Link card...

How you spontaneously let us filmed short little skits of you with your signature Bimbo acts, which cause an uproar of laughters. But later kept reminding us not to tag you on Facebook.

Beloved Kenny at the bottom right corner.

You always reply to every message I wrote on your wall...

It's sad to know that you won't be replying the last 2 messages I left you...

Thank you for coming in to my life...

You inspired me...

Thank you for all the joy and encouragement you have given me...

Love you loads and I'm missing you greatly...

EverySing

2010-11-23T11:03:00.005+08:00

EverySing in Sinsa-Dong

EverySing is a 노래방 (Noraebang/Karaoke) run by SM Entertainment… For fans of SM artists (eg. Super Junior, SHINee, SNSD, f(x) etc) it's a must go…

They sell official SM artistes merchandises as well and according to my sister, the CDs sold here is slightly cheaper than the ones sold in regular CD stores…

I've been to both EverySing branches, 1st which is located in SinSa-Dong and the 2nd branch which is located in Myeong-Dong, during my 2 different visits to Seoul…

However, I'm unable to give any directions to Sinsa-Dong's EverySing as I was being herd there together with other students from the music school I went with…

I remember taking a bus from somewhere and walking around… It's not that accessible since I can't seem to find any subway station around it…

Entrance to EverySing in Myeong-Dong

I don't advise singing in there though, unless you're pretty good in Korean… The song list is totally filled with korean characters and I had a hard time trying to find something to sing to…

If your korean language skills is decent enough, go sing your hearts out!

I was told that SM Entertainment hold auditions at Sinsa-Dong's EverySing every now and then…

I'm not sure with the pricing as the 1 and only time I've been in there was covered by the school…

According to the information on Korean Tourism Organization's website, it costs KRW3,000 - 8,000 (for 30 minutes)…

Not a bad idea to try and experience what Korea's Noraebang is like… I was told that they are equipped with 'video-producing capabilities in studio settings', some recording device… Whatever that is, I didn't manage to try it out…

Want to watch some Music Videos? The only Music Videos you can find in the Noraebang are those belonging to SM Entertainment… No Music Videos of artistes from other companies besides SM Entertainment… Meaning no 2PM, Brown Eyed Girls or B2ST (you get my point ya?)… Backing Music? Yes! Official Music Video? No! Copyright Law maybe?

SNSD's Stage Outfits

Anyway, all the merchandises, celebrities signature and stage costume will keep you busy at the reception area…

There's a cafe in the Myeong-Dong branch but I don't see anyone buying drinks from there…

I feel that the Photo Sticker Machine is a must-try…

Different from the regular machines, these are loaded with templates of your favorite SM artistes like Super Junior, SHINee, SNSD, f(x)… These are the few I can remember…

Cafe & Photosticker Machines

Because of the templates, I'll advise individual shots rather than group photos as I'm sure you won't want to cover the face of your favorite celebrity…

Be prepared to move around a lot in there, as you'll need to move left and right, forward and backwards to adjust your size and position to fit with the template, making the picture look realistic…

The machine don't give you much time to do adjustments before it hits the shutter… However, it does give you plenty of time on the decorating part outside the booth…

My Photo Sticker with SHINee

It takes practice, I was better at it the 2nd time I took it as I know what to expect…

The 1st one I took was during last year's winter at the Sinsa-Dong branch and the 2nd was taken this summer at Myeong-Dong…

Each Photo Sticker costs KRW7,000… You'll be needing 14 coins of KRW500… I know it's heavy to bring so many coins around… But don't worry, there's a money changing machine over there…

For anyone who wants to visit EverySing, I'll recommend going to the 2nd branch located in Myeong-Dong… It's a lot more accessible… Just about 200 meters away from Myeong-Dong Station…

Directions to Myeong-Dong's EverySing:

-Take Subway and alight at Myeong-Dong Station.

-Exit Myeong-Dong station from Exit #6.

-Walk straight and make a left turn when you see NATURAL REPUBLIC (1st junction).

-Ahead straight ahead till you see a clothing store name SPAO which will be on your left.

-Walk into SPAO and take the escalator to the 4th floor and you'll see EverySing.

Travel Blog

2010-11-22T20:42:00.002+08:00

So I've kinda given up on keeping other blogs for my travel entries...

And I guess most people would be more interested in the places itself rather than what happen to me during my trip...

Another point is the problem of me not being able to blog while I'm traveling... So after days of traveling and days spent recharging after I return home... I don't really remember every single thing that had happen...

Yup! I'll just introduce some places that I've been to on the blog every now and then... Will be tagging them accordingly...

It's not like I'm always traveling or have gone to a lot of places, I just like to go exploring around, wondering and hang out on the streets... And there're places which I've been to more than once which makes me kinda familiar to the area and do not have to walk around with my nose stuck in a map every minute...

It will be cool if one day I'll get paid to travel around and write blog entries about places I've been to... Just my wishful thinking... I'm not even a good writer... Hahaha!

Maybe I should even explore Singapore and write about it...

I'll most likely be spending Chinese New Year in Hong Kong again next year... Daddy seem really determine to travel to Hong Kong again... I'll prefer to go to Seoul! Can never get enough of that place and there're places which I hadn't manage to visit...

Still thinking about where I can go to during my stay in Hong Kong... Ideas?

Hello SHINee!!!

2010-11-17T20:15:00.001+08:00

I know this is old... I've stop updating myself on the K-pop scene for a while (been watching more US dramas these days)...

Came across this today... and OMG! They're so charming! SHINee's still SHINee... always out to capture 누나's hearts!

P.S: My Mummy likes Jonghyun! Kekeke!

It's the 'Pink Grandpa'!!!

2010-11-10T15:14:00.001+08:00

It's a pleasant surprise to see this video on the main page of Youtube!

And because I'm missing the 'Pink Grandpa', I shall post it all up here...

Jay Park in 'Bromance'!

Happy Halloween!

2010-11-01T01:17:00.002+08:00

Happy Halloween!!!

Something went wrong in the family...

I'm in Gryffindor while my sis is in Slytherin...

Received a fair amount of weird stares dressed in that...

My Mummy say...

2010-10-28T19:22:00.004+08:00

Just to share some funny nonsense I get from the kids...

I'm helping out at another childcare this week.
This is what I get from the mischievous Eron in Playgroup 2.

It was tea-time and I'm giving out milk and bread to my students in Playgroup 2 (around 2 to 3 years old).

Me: Eron. Do you want bread?
Eron: No. My Mummy say I cannot eat bread.
Me: There's strawberry jam inside.
Eron: Mummy say I cannot eat bread. But I can eat bread with strawberry jam.
Me: =.=

After tea-time, I was getting all the children to wash their hands.

Me: Who is the dirty boy who never wash his hands?
Eron: My Mummy say I cannot wash my hands.
Me: =.=

Branded Bag

2010-10-27T11:20:00.003+08:00

Liking this Miu Miu bag...

But I'm only gonna look at it for now... It's out of my league...

Wait till I earn like $3k a month maybe I'll consider getting something like that..

I don't even know if that day will come...

But anyway, we should dream BIG right?!

Never try this in a Music College or to Music Students

2010-10-22T19:09:00.002+08:00

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Ok... I have no idea how well will this work...

Just don't try this in a Music College/School... You'll most likely get owed by some Piano Major...

Or get weird stares/a whack at the back of your head with "What the hell are you doing?!"

And don't even think about trying these on me...

1 of my favorite 'Gee'!

2010-10-16T17:11:00.004+08:00

Finally found the chord progression for 'Gee'!
(Ok, I know that song's getting old...But I like acoustic verisons...)

I really like this!

psss... and I really like HIM! *blush blush...

Messed up Clock!

2010-10-13T22:04:00.002+08:00

It's the 2nd day of my fight against 'Jet-Lag'...

After lying in bed wide awake for around 2 hours, I decided to forget it and just get out of bed!

So I spend the whole night doing some keyboard practicing and catching up some shows on the internet...

All the way till 7am in the morning and still no sign of sleepiness... Got hungry thou, and I don't even know if I'm having breakfast or dinner...

Since turning in early failed, I shall try a different approach... I tried to stay awake as much as I can, and hopefully I'll just knockout tonight! Hopefully!

However, I did doze off for a couple of hours.

Was desperate to a point where I was googling on 'How to overcome jet lag?'... All the sites just concludes to me that my internal clock is messed up and it's gonna take a few days (maybe 12days! I hope not!)...

Lucky me! I've no work to worry about... I'll just stay at home and try my best to get over with it...

I'm just pretty messed up now...

This world is BIG!

2010-10-12T05:27:00.003+08:00

I'm finally home!

And waking up in the wee hours of the morning shows thats I'm jet-lagging which is not a good sign...

My head is feeling heavy and my shoulders are aching... Tried to get back to sleep but I couldn't...

With the plane traveling at more than 900km/hr and it still took me more than 15 hours to travel over to the other side of the world...

This world is BIG!

A city sprinkle with gold dust...

2010-09-23T12:38:00.001+08:00

Flying to New York. Stopped over at Vancouver. It was dark...

The view from above was beautiful.

The whole city was covered with orange lights.

It looks as if the city is sprinkled with gold dust.

阿公再見。。。

2010-09-22T14:00:00.004+08:00

忙了3天，陪阿公走完了他的最後一段路。

在這3天里，我拿著我新買小小的Lomo相機到處拍。

來了很多親戚朋友，好多我根本不知道是誰的‘親戚朋友’。

這只漂亮的飛蛾，在阿公過世的第二天出現。就停在靈堂附近，在那裡呆了半天。

這是我的二次在喪禮上看到奇怪／可疑的昆蟲。有人說這是死者化身，為了回來看看家人。

阿公，是你嗎？

好多阿公、爸爸和叔叔們的朋友和同事送上了花圈。

三審也為了我們這些小瓜訂了個花圈送給阿公。

我覺得，辦喪禮也是為了讓家屬暫時忘掉難過。因為要忙和要做的事太多了。

像我就每天坐在阿公旁邊拿著金紙，一直燒，一直燒。

姑姑阿姨們就坐在一旁折金紙，一直折，一直折。

時間久了，腦袋也變得空空的。

阿公出殯的那天，我們光這腳陪他走上最後一段路。

在把棺材推進焚化爐時，我無法控制的哭了起來。

哭完了，也該收拾好心情好好的向阿公道別了。

阿公再見。。。

阿公，一路好走。。。

2010-09-19T03:02:00.003+08:00

我有一本相本，放滿我小時候的一些照片。已經有好幾年沒拿出來看了。我剛剛把它翻了出來。因為我記得有一張我和阿公阿媽的合照。

阿公、我和阿媽在Kampong老家的照片

今天回到家時，媽媽對我說的第一句話是‘阿公去世了’。後來在想起以前小時候和他一起相處的日子，眼淚就一直不知覺的往下掉。雖然腦袋是一片空白，根本就記不得年紀那麼小時所發生的事。也許是心裡一直記得他對我的疼愛吧。

幾年前，因為他做了一些讓整家人不高興的事，搞得整個家亂七八糟。在那之後，和阿公見面的次數也越來越少了。

上個星期，阿公因為呼吸困難進了醫院。到醫院去看他時也不知道要和他說甚麼，只是叫了幾聲‘阿公’、提護士做翻譯、哄他吃藥。

可能因為對阿公的記憶一直停留在他犯錯的事情上，我對他也沒有甚麼特別的感覺。［阿公］就像只是一個標簽罷了。大人那些複雜的問題，我真的不想管也不想知道。

在知道阿公過世之後，想起那天媽媽在去醫院路上對我說的話，“妳忘了妳小時後阿公多麼疼妳嗎？”。我想我真的忘了。現在回想起小時候的事，眼淚就一直往下掉。

我現在的心情是空的。就是不明白為甚麼眼淚會一直流。

最後只希望阿媽能夠釋懷，畢竟阿公也離開了。有了阿媽的原諒他們兩也能好過一點吧。

Lomography, Discovering the Beauty of Imperfection...

2010-09-10T11:57:00.006+08:00

最近我愛上了Lomography，愛上了玩具攝像機。喜歡它帶來的驚喜和一點點奇怪的顏色。

Loving the beauty of the imperfect photos it produces.

雖然我根本就沒有一台Lomo相機。我擁有的Lomo照片都是用software process的。

現在流行HD，甚麼都要清晰，越清楚越好。清楚到電視里的演員們的雀斑、荳荳、毛孔，全都看的一清二楚。有這個必要嗎？

看得太清楚通常只會看到自己不喜歡，或不好看的東西。

我覺得這和做人很像。我們常常追根究底，把瑕疵放大，追求所謂的完美。可是‘完美’這個東西存在嗎？

何不保持一點適當的距離？在它的不完美中找出它最美麗的一面？這才是王道！

It's about discovering the beauty of imperfection!
把它當成做人的原則之一，人也會變得溫柔和快樂一些。☺

加油！

2010-09-07T12:23:00.001+08:00

發現這陣子常有好心的客人在茶餐廳請我們喝飲料。

應該也是托搭檔的褔。因為我真的覺得知己沒唱得多麼好。

很多點歌我也不太會唱。真是應該反省反省。。。

從韓國回來就一直處在累得狀態。這星期應該沒問題了！

可是想想在過不久有要去美國了。。。

媽媽說我好命，可是當下我想到只會覺得累。。。

別想了！就好好得玩吧！要不千就都浪費了！

今天上課加茶餐廳加油！

取這個藝名才會紅

2010-09-05T14:07:00.002+08:00

(取這個藝名才會紅)：

深情的眼眸裡滿滿都是戲的白詩敏若取名為［洋燕藤］，就會在歌唱比賽中一路過關斬將，並獲得唱片公司的合約。

洋燕藤

哈哈哈！好文藝的名字哦！

3杯飲料

2010-08-18T20:33:00.000+08:00

昨天在茶餐廳唱歌時，有一位好心的顧客點了3杯飲料請我們喝。

真的很謝謝你！

在茶餐廳唱歌一直是一件很快樂的事。

雖然我常常還是會擔心自己唱的不好、唱的歌不夠新、或是顧客點的歌都不會唱（顧客這麼賞臉點歌要我們唱，不會唱真的很過意不去）。

其實一直以來，對我們來說簡單的一句，“唱的很好听”、或是一張寫著兩個字“加油！”的紙條都是很大的動力。

謝謝你喜歡我們的歌聲！謝謝！

《熱血青春》－群體輿個體

2010-08-15T20:29:00.001+08:00

最近又看完了一部偶像劇《熱血青春》。
是一部校園劇，絮說着跆拳道社里的學生們如何一起向著目標和夢想前進。

我有多久沒看這樣的劇了？記得我以前就很愛看校園劇，尤其是以社團為夢想努力作為主題的。

想想現在這類型的劇好像都不怎麼看得到了。最近的偶像劇都是以愛情故事為主。

看了之後，有了一點感觸。怎麼說我以前也是練武的！哈哈哈！雖然不像他們朝著甚麼比賽前進。但是因為喜歡，每星期和大家一起練習都會很快樂。我好像已經忘了這種感覺了。

從一開始上學，我們就開始生活在以個群體當中。小學、中學、藝術學院、我參加過的羽毛球隊、校警、武術班、音樂學校的表演團體等等。

那種一起努力、一起受罰／挨罵、一起胡鬧、一起歡笑甚至一起流淚的感覺。

不知道從甚麼時候開始，我覺得我現在像是一個個體。變得越來越孤僻。

是從念藝術學院的最後一年開始的嗎？只覺得自己開始慢慢脫離團體生活。

越來越不懂得如何融入，如何和大家打成一片。

雖然還是《麵包餅乾》的一員，可我們也不像以前一直耗在一起練習。天天見面，見到看到對方都想吐的地步。現在的大家都個忙個的。

現在的我，時常也會懶得出去、也不喜歡應酬。
喜歡一個人待在家裡。待在家裡做什麼？我也不知道。

你可能會說：“踏入社會開始進入公司上班不也是個團體嗎？”
我工作的方式也是獨來獨往自己行動的。因為是freelance。同事是誰？我不知道。
如果拿老闆和同事來做個比較的話。。。那我和老闆比較熟！哈哈哈！

可能是藝術學院養出了我的藝術家脾氣，喜歡我行我素。
還是我真的已經宅到一個境界了！

iPhone 4 - Hold it like 'L'

2010-08-12T11:08:00.000+08:00

I've been reading about the iPhone 4 even before it's released.

And now I'm reading about all the reception issues it's been giving it's users.

Apparently it's seems to be about the way you hold it.

So I bet 'L' won't have a problem with the iPhone 4

(but according to a friend, he left the world a little too early.)

Hold it the 'L' way!!!

P.S: I realize I wasn't the only one who thought of this while I was searching thru the net for a picture of L holding a phone. =D

Overpopulated!!!

2010-08-12T10:33:00.003+08:00

(The image did not come out well on my blog. Click on it to see the actual image with visible words.)

So Singapore is freakingly overpopulated... Is this a sign for me to move out of here?

I'll just stay in my 'spacious' room for the time being...

1st interview

2010-08-09T21:20:00.001+08:00

So... What's up for the past week?

Something different is that I've got my 1st interview... Kinda...

What actually happen was that my little sister's classmate had this 'Radio Test'... And his interviewee put him plane just 1 day before the test... You can imagine how freaked out he is...

So my sister suggest to him, to ask her beloved sister, me! to be his interviewee... Hahaha!

I was hesitant to agree to it at first, as I fear that I might messed up it for him... However, if I refuse to help, it's even more likely that he will fail due to the absents of his interviewee...

I was nervous when I got there, and it got worst when I saw the other interviewees the other students brought in... Quite a number of them speak really good english and with incredible accents... I'm the kind who'll mispronounce a little here and there... And my accent is kinda like a mixed of a number of different accents (Hahaha! Thanks to Singapore I get exposed to all kinds of accents and languages)...

I'm not good at socializing too... I know how gloomy I can get when I'm in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people... And I normally talk in a low tone, mumbles quite a bit (sometimes alot)... I'm worried...

So right before the start of it, I kept telling myself that I need to switch! Switch! (I'm still building on this skill... I feel that it quite an important skill for performers. Though it might seem that I'm trying to create split-personalities, but I've never see it as something that's wrong. )

I start talking in my 'teaching tone' the kinda tone that I use when I'm teaching, when the 'Radio Show/Radio Test' starts. Which is higher and brighter and more enthusiastic sounding. There are times where I don't really know what to say and can't find the exact words to express myself at that instants... So I started throwing random words, (even to the extant where I don't even know what I'm saying... Hahaha!) as I've learnt from my sister that there should not be silence on air. I do not want him to get penalize for that.

I was thankful when he told me that he got an 'A' the next day. Glad to know that I did not mess it up for him.

Was a great experience! =D

NANTA (Cookin') in Esplanade Theatre

2010-07-10T12:14:00.010+08:00

I was pretty excited when I saw this yesterday.

NANTA is coming back to Singapore!!!

I've heard a lot about them and how amazing their performances were.
But I've never had a chance to watch any of their performances.

I actually wanted to check out their performance during my trip to Seoul last year.
But due to the lack of time and maybe my lack of planning... My attempt failed...

Anyway, I was struck by disappointment again when my eyes landed on their performance dates...
1st Oct to 3rd Oct... I'll be all the way in America... In Orlando and New York to be exact...

So... Yup! I'll miss them again...

To anyone who's interested and able to go (unlike me), check out their Sistic link here.

Jay is BACK!!!

2010-06-18T23:26:00.005+08:00

Finally the long wait is over!

Park Jaebum is back!!!

Although it wasn't anything like the comeback I've been dreaming of...

(I dreamt of him coming back to 2PM... I'm still constantly missing the old 7 membered 2PM...)

But still, seeing photos of him landing in Korea and being warmly received by the fans over there is really heart-warming...

I'm sure everything is gonna turn out well from now on...

Since you've already gone pass the worst, it can't get any worser from there... It can only turn for the better!

Good luck! Park Jaebum!!! =)

You're truly a Legend!!!

Chocolate Abs

2010-06-13T10:53:00.005+08:00

[Warning: Following article is filled with images of half naked males... Not suitable for the young...]

Being a fan of 2PM (with their beastly idol image) I've been constantly throw videos and photos of them topless, showing off their 'Chocolate Abs'...

I've also come to realize that a whole bunch of K-pop male idol groups or singers (referring to Rain here) have this shirt ripping/lifting thing choreographed into their performance and of course, that's to show off their abs...

So moving away from the Korean scene for a while... I caught 'Killers' last week with my sister... And there you have it! Ashton Kutcher made his entrance TOPLESS!

There it goes again... ABS!

A recent article I read... Even Kang Ho Dong HAVE ABS!!!

Was watching 'IRIS', and Jung Joon Ho appeared together with Lee Byung Hun topless (it's some military training scene where they jog around topless)...

I find it really weird when I don't see abs on Jung Joon Ho (maybe his abs is not as prominent and standing beside Lee Byung Hun is not helpful)... I discovered that I'm expecting abs from every single guy (esp topless ones) these days...

I used to never like muscles, I think they're scary (image of a body builder 'pops' up)... But now I find it weird when I see a topless guy with no abs... It's just WEIRD!

The media has made abs like a norm for every guy... Hahaha!

Maybe I should try and get some abs of my own... But I doubt it's gonna work since I'm so lazy...

New Look!

2010-06-13T00:55:00.004+08:00

So I went around messing with my blogskin again...

I seem to have abandon it for quite a while (tweeting these days)...

Anyway, decided to stop using the HTML style blogskin...

Just working with whatever blogger has to offer...

Makes life easier for me as well...

2010-03-11T20:26:00.004+08:00

I came across this...

If CNBlue is in the list... Jung Yong Hwa will have a chance to put up a fight against Wooyoung... But then again, he's already married to SeoHyun!

Namja Chinggu FTW!!!

2010-03-01T21:45:00.003+08:00

I should seriously STOP myself from reading anymore articles...

None of it is doing me any good...

I'm no even sure the articles I read is from a 2PM fansite or an anti-2PM site...

Can't even tell the fan and anti-fans apart now...

Reading the Sasaeng accounts makes it worst...

I shall be blind and deaf for the time being...

Not gonna listen or see...

Time will tell...

For now I'll just wait silently for the rain clouds to clear...

If a day really comes where I can no longer love them...

I'll just quietly take my leave...

2010-02-27T08:55:00.005+08:00

I'm affected... By the news of Park Jaebum's permanent withdrawal...

The thin thread of hope that we have been holding on for for the past few months just suddenly snapped and we came crashing down...

I dunno who or what to listen to or to believe...

Is JYPE lying about the 'issue'? If they are, I'm hoping for the truth to be dug out...

If JYPE is telling the truth, then I'll just let it go... I don't want him to get hurt again...

I won't trash the other members... I love the whole group... All 7 of them (I admit I'm bias towards Wooyoung)...

I don't blame them for working hard and doing well without Jaebum... I believe they are doing that for Jaebum to return... Where can Jaebum return to if 2PM were to fall?

I won't trash them... For I believe all the members in One Day are hurting even more...

Without Park Jaebum, 2PM will nv be 2PM... They'll just get stuck at 1:59PM...

We're 'Hottest' for 'The Hottest Time of the Day'...

Tell us how we can be a 'Hottest' when it's not 'The Hottest Time' anymore...

1:59PM might only be a min away from 2PM, but 1:59PM will never be 'The Hottest Time of the Day'...

It's not 2PM...

I'll fix the thin 'thread of hope' back and continue to hold on to it...

2010-02-21T13:22:00.004+08:00

Feeling lost and empty today...

Maybe because there's some time for me to think thru stuff today...

Feel a need and urgency to complete a number of things...

Things like practicing and improving myself... Things related to music...

A need to write songs, a need to improve my singing and dancing and keyboard skills...

However, I'm so stuck with work thru the weekdays... There's only time for me during the weekends...

But by the time I reach the end of the week, I feel so drained... I should be working on something... But I'm really tired... Hating this...

I haven't been follow my plans for this year... What am I doing?!

加油！

2010-02-13T12:27:00.007+08:00

I tend to randomly breakout into a ‘加油！’。。。

I'm sorry if I were to startle you...

It's just my way of encouraging myself and to push myself till the end of the day when things get tough...

No matter how tough is it, no matter what you're going thru... 加油！

Hottest Hwaiting! Park Jaebum Hwaiting! 2PM Hwaiting!

2010-02-01T22:51:00.007+08:00

发现最近我最常告诉自己的事是 ‘加油！要撑下去！再过几天就过了！’

时常因为工作把自己搞得很累。。。

也不明白最近我怎么像发了疯的到处接工作，从早做到晚。。。

回到家时，已经什么都不想做了。。。

之前说，要给自己时间练习和搞音乐，也不知道说到那里去了！

因为钱，因为答应了会做下去，最后把自己弄成这样。。。加油吧！

也不要忘记每天要对我的音乐和梦想大喊，‘加油！要撑下去！’

2010-01-16T22:50:00.005+08:00

Just read something which I think is worth blogging about...

Just found out that 14th April is 'Black Day'!

This is started by the Korean...

So... What's this day about?

It's a day for the singles to gather and eat Jjajiangmyun (Black Bean Paste Noodle)

14th Feb: The ever famous Valentines Day!

[Yes! The day where couples are flooded everywhere around you! Front, back, left, right, up, down! =.= Also the day where girls give gifts to the guy they like (according to the Japanese practice)... I can never understand why is it the girls who make the first move...]

14th March: White Day

[Started from Japan... The day where the guy return a gift to that special girl who gave him a present a month ago (I see! So they have a month to shop for tt perfect return gift...) Anyway, some people say that it's just one of the clever Japanese's sales and marketing strategy...]

14th April: Black Day

[Since there's a White Day, why can't we have Black?! All the single people! You're not forgotten! This day is from Korea... It's a day where all the singles gather for Jjajiangmyun (Black Bean Paste Noodle)! I totally love this!]

So... With the above dates and facts, I decided to come out with a story or scenario...

It's 14th Feb, Valentines Day! I nervously gave chocolate that I've spend hours making (and failing till I got it perfect) to that special guy... Kept thinking and wondering if he will like it...

Finally, a month has passed... It's 14th March, White Day! Will he return a gift to me? I waited and waited... But it never came...

I was depressed for 1 whole month and 14th April, Black Day came! I decided to get on with my life... Enough is enough! Met up with the singles who suffered the same fate as me for a round of Jjajiangmyun!

The above story is totally fictional... Anything similar is total coincidence... Pls do not take it seriously! It's not even my life story! (I'm still against the idea of females making the first move... Call me a stone-age person! Not that I even care!)

2010-01-05T10:35:00.004+08:00

Just a random thought when I was clicking on my vote on a poll on a website...

With so much news of celebrities stuffs being dug up by netizens...

I was wondering if every single click and key I press on the keyboard is being monitor and recorded down in one way or another...

I remember hearing something (but I've no idea how true is it) saying that there's this organization that bugs every phone line and if a certain number of keywords were mention in the phone conversation, the system will automatically start recording the conversation...

For all we know, all our phone calls and smses might be recorded...

But I do wonder if there's such a BIG database to store these crazy amount of information... Lolz!

And I've also thought about all the virus outbreak we get every now and then...

Could there be some organization releasing these viruses to control the human population?

Hahahazx!!!

I guess I might have been watching and reading too much science-fictional stories...

Anyway, just a random thought!

2010-01-01T01:27:00.004+08:00

Happy New Year everyone!!!

It doesn't even feel like a year has passed...

This year's consider rather good for me...

Graduation, the end of a chapter and start of another

(thou struggling to survive in the working world)...

Most importantly, I saw a whole bunch of Korean Artists whom I've nv thought I'll be able to meet in person... Brown Eyed Girls, F.T Island, T-max and 2PM!!!

With all the gatherings and celebration since Christmas eve (maybe before tt), I decided that I should just spend New Year Eve quietly at home...

Spent it watching MBC's Gayo Daejun in my room with my sister and our whole bunch of soft toys as well as my Grandma... Thou she's sleeping even before the show starts...

Yes yes... Everyone gathering around the Computer to watch the live steaming of MBC's Gayo Daejun...

I seriously feel that Grandma came visiting at the wrong time, 3 days of Gayo Daejun from different stations... We can't help screaming when we see our idols while watching it...

It's 2PM! How can we not scream?! And all these time, she's sleeping right behind us...

My sister concludes that the 3 days of Gayo Daejun is like the football season for us... Lolz...

Anyway, answering the usual question for every New Year...

Resolutions...

Seriously lar, when have resolutions ever been followed?!

Nothing specific... I just wanna level up... Skills, appearance, knowledge, stamina, physical endurance, mental endurance, confidences, watever-you-can-think-of...

An upgraded OS of me... (I'm such a geek!)

All in all, just a better me! A better person!

As usual, work hard for improvement... There's no end to this...

Shall try out for auditions again...

and again and again and again~

Happy New Year!!!

2009-12-28T21:00:00.010+08:00

So... I haven't been blogging for a while and have been asked to blog...

What have I been up to? After I got back from Korea, was busy with 'In Da House' concert, followed by Christmas and now New Year is coming!

Regarding the Korea trip, check out this blog out!

I haven't finish writing it thou...

Yes! I've been lazy!

Somehow, I felt that I'm slowly getting converted... to a korean... Lolz...

I'm seriously missing Korea after the trip...

And now I found myself watch KBS World on Korea News,

listening to Korean's radio station and

watching live streaming of SBS's Gayo Danjue...

(did I mention it was great?! I was fangirl-ing and screaming in front of my comp... 2PM!!!)

I've become such a fan of 2PM that I decided to change everything in my comp to 2PM (I seriously didn't see this coming)...

Firstly was the Wallpaper I changed quite some time ago...

And now I changed both pic on Adium's contact list and msging window to 2PM!!! (It used to be SHINee...)

This is how my desktop looks like now...

And I've stick up the 2PM poster I got from Korea!

And I've finally bought a new cover for my iPod Touch...

A 'leather' casing kind...

Reason because, they freaking dun sell anymore covers for 1st Gen iPod Touch (This is CONSPIRACY!)...

And seriously the cover I got was actually for a 2nd Gen iPod Touch... I'm making do with it, cos mine can fit in...

Anyway... Here it is...

(Do you see the 2PM poster reflecting off the screen? Lolz!)

I didn't chose yellow because Namja Chingu likes yellow... But because it the prettiest out of the 3 colors available there and another reason being... ok, fine! Namja Chingu likes yellow! =.= Lolz!

But don't you think that it awfully resembles he's yellow Corby phone? (Maybe it's just me...)

Some other random stuff I've been up to these days...

Building a Photo Wall... Still in the making...

And now a new resident in my room...

Mum dun like it thou... She say it's scary...

Anyway, it's still nameless...

Ideas?

I think next I'm gonna change all my ringtone and msg tone to 2PM's song... *Wootz!

2009-11-18T15:39:00.004+08:00

Finally the enrichment course with AMK Pri has come to an end...

What a relieve! Now I'm looking forward to pay...

But I'm definitely gonna miss the kids...

Yes! It's really tiring to teach them and they nv fail to

drain off my energy and

let me lose my voice every session...

But they are all really nice and sweet...

Only can say that they are a fun-loving bunch, which gets out of control when you have to handle 30 of them... And accidents happen, tt's where I get my headaches...

One of the student happen to be celebrating her birthday today...

She kindly invited me to join in the little class celebration of hers...

I've nothing to give her except for a few chocolate bars that I have with me...

It's been a while since I was last involve in a celebration like that...

The kids were happy with just a piece of cake...

Most of them went for a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th helpings...

I recall the excitement I use to have when I see a cake during my childhood days...

Some may say that it better to teach in a prestigious school rather than a neighborhood school...

Yes! I do agree that your job will be easier with the kids in the 'better' schools...

But don't see '童真' in most of the kids there...

After the incident of my grandma looking at the 2PM poster on my wall and saying that they're my friends...

The bunch of kids saw Wooyoung's pic on my phone wallpaper and start insisting that he's my boyfriend... =.=

Doubting that denial will work, I just played along and asked the boys if they were disappointed!

(Some kids like to joke around saying they want to marry me)

Lolz...

May they grow up well and healthy!!!

iPod blogging

2009-11-16T09:32:00.000+08:00

Trying out an app on my iPod...

Let's see if this iPod blogging thing works...

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Just Blue

2009-11-11T13:37:00.008+08:00

It's drizzling outside...

Grey & Gloomy...

But it's Blue in here...

My room is Blue...

Baby Taemin is Blue...

Wooyoungie is Blue...

The bow is Blue...

The tee I'm wearing is Blue...

The phone is Blue...

The bin is Blue...

The portable drive is Blue...

Listening to 1:59PM without Jaebeom adds on to the Blueness...

Maybe I should change my favorite color...

Today is filled with different shades of Blue...

'Tired of Waiting'

and

other random stuff...

2009-11-10T15:57:00.004+08:00

Was browsing thru the different 面包饼干 member's blog...

No more Imeem! All changed to Mixpod liao...

Imeem! You're OUT!!! You disappointed us!

It's nearly 4pm... I dun even remember how much time I've spend in my room...

Updating music scores and cleaning them up...

Sang thru a bunch of them on the keyboard...

Unknowingly, I guess I've been practicing for quite a while...

And I even think I sounded good with a few songs... Woohoo!

BTW, meet a new resident in my room!

Taemin!!!

(Named him tt cos he feels like a Taemin to me)

A gift from Yanping! Thank you!

Read about the news about the possibility of Leadja's return...

With the news or not, we all believe that he will be back...

We believe in him! This piece of news make us even more sure of it...

Mr.JYP, please don't disappoint us and bring Leadja back...

Leadja, we're all ready whenever you are!

2009-11-09T23:30:00.002+08:00

Learning to smile and laugh everything off...

Learning to see and not watch...

Learning to hear and not listen...

Ignorance is Bliss...

2009-11-04T18:58:00.002+08:00

Feeling sick about teaching again...

But what else can I do to earn my living...

Been feeling tired constantly... Maybe I'm getting old... I'm starting to get tired easily... Or maybe it's my lifestyle...

Fell asleep in the bus on my way to Outram to teach... Sleep somemore on my way back... And the doze off in the train on my way to Dhoby to teach again...

I shouldn't complain so much... Zuo En's teaching a whole lot more classes... Mine is nothing compared to her...

It's already Nov... I haven't even start on my practices for the Year-End Concert... Should at least start practice the singing part first... As for dance, I'll throw it to a side first...

Talking about dance... The Poppin' class finally started... Kinda interesting in a way... As usual, I always feel good attending dance lesson...

Thought that I'll be totally drain from the 1 & 1/2 hour but no... Not at all... Spend most of the time listening to the teacher talk and understanding the concept... Which was a teeny weeny bit disappointing... My idea of dance is to really dance all the way thru and sweat it out! Still considering if I should take up SHINee's Ring Ding Dong dance class from CJ...

The teacher said that I was doing well, but I replied him with a 'face' (naturally)... From wat I see in the mirror, I look retarded... My conclusion is that, either he's being nice, or I expect alot more from myself...

Mixed feelings about Dec... Looking forward to attend Seoul'd Out Concert... Looking forward to the Korea Training Trip but at the same time fearful of the audition... Lastly the Year End Concert... Getting a little sick of it now...

I guess things get a little sicking when u have to be involve in a lot of rubbish and dunno where to work with... Rather than just concentrating on rehearsals...

Lastly, I think I'm slowly losing my confidence again...

Have to constantly tell myself that I'm better than I think I am...

I'm much much stronger than I think I am...

Hwating!!!

2009-11-02T21:53:00.003+08:00

Recently felt that my anti-social-ness has gotta serious...

Don't remember when I began to feel irritated by phone calls and smses...

And I recently realize that I dun even log into MSN...

Maybe I'm sick of entertaining ppl...

Ang Ang Wooyoung Him Nae Yah Ji

2009-10-05T17:28:00.003+08:00

Him Nae Yah Ji!!!

For some reason, it's comforting just holding and looking at him...
Maybe that's why he's named 'Ang Ang WooYoung'...
Thank you for this gift...

2009-09-29T11:21:00.006+08:00

Full coverage on my convocation by me!

Yesterday was somewhat an important day for me...
It marks the end of a chapter and the start of another...

Bye bye student life (as well as student discounts T-T)...
Hello to the world...

Decided to wear heels for convo, due to the fact that:
1. I'm short...
2. My pants is too long...
3. Lazy to buy new shoes...
4. Broke to buy new shoes...
5. I look better with those on...

That's the highest heels I've worn in my life...

Getting ready... Friends helping me pin up my sash...

The whole ceremony was really long (imagine, 800++ students going on stage 1 by 1)... We all got hungry...
During the briefing, Joshua (seated on my right) got hungry as he hadn't even had his breakfast...

So I took out a yogurt bar from my bag and we shared...

Later on during the ceremony, Aaron (seated on my left) got hungry...
I took out the sour plums in my bag, and we shared it among the class (there's only 5 in my class)...

I'm like a food supplier...

Me going on stage to receive my certificate... Praying hard that I won't fall and roll off the stage...

Nothing much to say... Pictures would speak better... Here goes...

Picture with the juniors/classmates/schoolmates/friends...

Will always remember the times be it in the old or the new campus...
Times where we slack and joke around before/after or even during class...

Our long lunch breaks...
LAN-ing sessions (reason behind going to class late)...
Overloaded car for lunch/supper...
Tyre changing at the road side...
Movie marathon and Guitar Hero at Lucien's place...
Kebabs at Peace Centre...

The times we stayed up the whole night chionging assignments or studying cos the deadline/exam is tomolo...
Skype-ing/MSN-ing while doing so...

All the best to all of them no matter where they are heading to...may we meet again sometime... Soon I hope!

My family...

Firstly, thank you Daddy for the financial support you've given me to obtain this piece of paper...
You just kept paying everything for me silently...
I know I'm still not earning enough to support myself... I'm working on it...

To Mummy, thank you for comforting me when I was super stress about my assignments... I know you and Dad doesn't ask for much from me... But I always feel a need to reach a certain standard that I set for myself...

My beloved Sister, thank you for listening to me when I just randomly go into your room and grumble... And also thank you for the Eeyore soft toy for me to pinch and squeeze when I need to destress...

Lastly 诗敏同学, there were times where I wanted to give up... Give up on you... But you held me tight... Thank you for sticking with me and pulling me through all the way till the very end... Till this very day where I put on the gown and go on the stage with a stupid board on my head to receive my certificate...

As I move on to the next chapter, I'll have to bid farewell to you.
再见, 诗敏同学！

2009-09-16T22:02:00.004+08:00

Firstly, I want to salute to all Primary 2 teachers...

*salutes

I've learned today that I can never be a school teacher... And I really shouldn't do it...

Went to teach the Primary 2 kids today... Yes, kids are cute and adorable...

But handling 30 Primary 2 kids at a go is way out of what I can manage...

Hope that I'll get better in class management.

Was already losing my voice after 30 mins...

I started going old school again... Was checking these videos out on Youtube just now...

My all time fav songs... Old school!

I didn't know Takeshi Kaneshiro wrote the lyrics and melody for this song till just now.

Can't find a MV of this with decent music... So here goes... He did this song quite well...

2009-09-10T16:00:00.002+08:00

This might become an emo post...

I just feel a need to write everything down to sort out my thoughts...

I know I totally suck when it comes to managing my stress level...

I'm slightly calming down now... (thanks to my clever thought of playing some relaxing music together with the lavender scent from my air purifier)

This week's been tiring for me... I'm glad that I've manage to make it thru half the week...

Just 22 days more to concert, and quite a number of stuffs are not done... I truly worry about loads of things...

Ticket sales... Memorizing lyrics... Choreography... Arranging practices... Perfecting my own items...

On top of it, I still have to prepare and practice for other things that's needed for me to earn my pathetic living...

I'm not earning enough to support myself, and I'm still getting allowance from my dad monthly... I feel bad about it... I should be the one giving them money now, since I've graduated... Feeling a sense of guilt... I'm trying to improve on this...

With Year-End concert in preparation, another to add on to the list...

Feel a need to lock myself up.... But I doubt I'll be able to do that any time soon... At least not until my 'so-call-concert' is over...

Ok, that's enough!

Time to save myself!

Jia you! Hwating!!!

Hadn't update for some time...

Wanting to get some stuff for my room... Actually had been wanting them for a long time...

A bigger wardrobe, as the current 1 is running out of space for my clothes...
Saw 1 from Ikea with 2 BIG Mirrors for the doors! Perfect for me to practice dance in my room...

A single bed, as the current bunk bed is taking up space...

However, it's not possible with my current pathetic and super unstable income...

The only thing I can get now for my room as a dustbin...
The bin in my room is dying since at least a year ago...
And it's still slowly withering away...
(I say withering, cos the plastic kept chipping off bit by bit...)

Saw 1 from ArtBox that I totally fancy.
[Casper likes this. *with thumbs up icon]

Though I've no idea how much it will cost.

Have the urge to go buy it RIGHT NOW!!!

2009-08-18T13:19:00.001+08:00

Was doing some research for the year end concert and I came across this!!!

*Faintz...

I almost died laughing!!!

2009-08-09T19:16:00.002+08:00

As a Singaporean, I think I should be sitting in front of the TV and watching the Live telecast of the 'National Day Parade'...

But I ended up sitting in front of my comp watching SHINee's Goodbye stage when my sis told me it's up...

2009-08-09T16:24:00.003+08:00

This seriously made my day...

I can die laughing... Didn't expect MC Mong to be involved...

SNSD's cover of Super Junior's Sorry Sorry is really cool as well!

When reality comes knocking on my door...

2009-08-05T11:55:00.003+08:00

When reality comes knocking on my door...

同样的问题一直反反复复的回我身旁。。。

我到底想要什么？想做什么？

也不是不知道。。。只是离梦想还有多远的距离？也不知道自己到不到得了。。。

在努力往‘梦想’奔去的路上，常常迷了路，然后在同个地方绕啊绕。。。

偶尔也会记起自己的脚被锁上‘现实’的铁链。。。

我应该先把铁链揭开吗？揭得开吗？需要很长的时间吗？

还是拖着‘现实’接续的慢慢往前走？

2009-08-03T15:01:00.005+08:00

I'm totally loving SHINee's cover of H.O.T's We Are The Future!!!

Taemin's hair is soo Kangta!

It's funny how Taemin ripped off his shirt, and start covering himself up after it ended...

I'm having ideas for 'Year End Performance'... Kekeke...

2009-07-25T01:30:00.003+08:00

I seriously should have gone to bed by now...
Dance tomolo at 11am!!!
I'm not complaining thou...
I LOVE DANCE CLASS!!!

Finished Food Festival's performance...
Thank you to the group of four (I believe are China Chinese) for liking my singing.

It always lighten up my day and give me a huge boost of confidence when people (especially strangers) come up to me and tell me that they like my voice or my singing or my performance... Thank you so much!

Singing for too long makes you unable to realize your improvement.
And getting rejected countless times during competitions makes me doubtful and unsure of my singing abilities.

Thank you to everyone who has ever liked my performance or has ever told me that they like my voice.
It might not mean anything to you. But that simple line means alot to me.
Thank you so much!

Every performer needs audience.
There won't be any performance without audience.
Thank you for being my audience!

2009-07-18T22:09:00.002+08:00

In the end I still decided to go for the 'Mirotic' Dance class, and I'm glad I did.
I seem to dance it pretty well... I guess...
Though my wallet is feeling rather empty now...

Thought that I'll skip it last night, as I was really tired.
But I somehow woke up early this morning.

I think my dancing groove and feel are coming back! Yeah!!!
Yes yes, pls pls come back to me!

So in conclusion, I 'chiong-ed' 3 dance classes today... Amazing...

And surprisingly, the dance that seriously drain me out wasn't DBSK's 'Mirotic' nor Super Junior's 'It's You'... It's WonderGirls' 'Nobody'!!!

2 hours of 'Nobody' dance is traumatizing.
Towards the end of the class, my mind went totally BLANK.

This proves the point that I should be in a boyband even more
cause I can't be in a girlband... I really think so...

Shoe Craze!!!

2009-07-15T11:44:00.007+08:00

Was practicing some songs for the concert... And I think I sound bad! Die!

After buying 3 pairs of shoes from Mustafa...

2 fairly colourful ones...

And a shiniest (SHINee-est! Lolz, not exactly SHINee thou) pair I ever have...
Maybe I'll really get a pair of 'SHINee' shoes one day...

I came across this online spree selling Highcut sneakers...
Highcut sneakers selling at 60 bucks, who wouldn't want to buy them?!
Now I'm wanting more shoes... Die!!!

Time to throw out my old worn-out ones and start wearing the new shoes...

After the Cross Earrings craze... My lastest craze is shoooes!

BTW, I came across this... TVXQ dressed up in SHINee outfit...

Frankly speaking...
It looks kinda weird to me...

2009-07-04T11:14:00.004+08:00

Was reading thru an article about Korean pop stars doing Chicken Commercials...

And these 2 commercial seriously worked!
They made me crave for chicken in the middle of the night!

The ending with Yunho screaming at Junsu is hilarious!

'BBQ Chicken' is the only one available in Singapore.
This might be one of the reason why I crave for this particular 1 out of the whole bunch of Chicken Commerical...

Even Kim Hyun Joong's 'Hot Sun Chicken', with him dressed up in Yoon JiHoo image didn't work for me...

Lastly, shall end this off with DBSK on Music Station performing 'Stand By Me'...

I remember staying up late just to catch Music Station in my Secondary School Days... Hahahazx!!!

Junsu with his old 'Oyagi' jokes again...

Surprisingly, I can understand part of the conversation...
Guess my Japanese isn't THAT bad after all...

2009-07-03T12:22:00.003+08:00

I think I shall share my first internet shopping experience...

I've nv internet shop before...
Firstly, no credit card...
Secondly, I 'Kia Si' scare will kena cheated...

Changed my mind after seeing so many interesting stuff on the net,
and also after seeing my sis internet shop so much...

Realize that there're a lot of things that are hard to find off regular stores...

So I guess I made another BIG step into being an 'Otaku'...

Anyway, part of internet shopping is registered mail.
They are suppose to make things more convenient for us.
But that's not the case for my family...

As our electronic doorbell is spoiled,
the postman/lady/whoever-it-is always press the bell assuming that it works...
And of course, even if we're at home, we won't know he/she might be at the door...
And then, he/she will assume that no one is at home and he/she will leave a note and leave.

No one ever tries ringing that manual bell right beside the electronic door bell... =.=

And now to share what I've bought!!!

TVXQ JaeJoong Necklace!!!

I guess she gave me this pair of earrings as service bah... Another to add to my collection!!!

2009-07-01T12:53:00.002+08:00

I realized that I hadn't share about how my hair looks like now...

I spend $200 bucks and more than 4 hours there!!!
and
Maveric say there isn't any difference... =.=

Max did all the coloring as well as the styling for the 'Carnival of Music' Peformance...

As I was rushing here and there the whole day, I only manage to take a picture of the whole look after I reach home...

I wasn't very use to my hair color...
I was looking at myself in a mirror which was quite some distance away
and I wonder
'Who's that person?'
didn't realize it was me...

2009-06-30T11:34:00.003+08:00

I'm going OLD SCHOOL again!!!

Been checking out Shinhwa's Perfect Man performance last night after I found out from Zuo En that that's the song HeeChul, ShinDong & Donghae were dancing to in the movie 'Attack On the Pin-up Boys'...

And I've found out why I find it familiar... Because it was used in the Taiwanese Drama 'MVP 情人'
After catching a few of them, I do think that the dance's rather cool... Too bad I can't find any really clear live performance to watch.

And today, I'm like going thru SPEED's songs... The eariler ones... Checked out their lastest MV... I'm must say it's rather cool... I'm back to becoming a SPEED fan! Go SPEED!!!

Checking out so much old school stuff is making me feel... 'Yes... I AM getting old...'

2009-06-24T22:33:00.004+08:00

2009-06-22T00:05:00.005+08:00

With the Korean craze that I'm having, I went searching for what my name will be if I were to translate it into Korean.

And here's my name...

백 시 민

Baek Si Min

And thank you Zuo En for getting me the name tags of Super Junior's Yesung and Sungmin.

And now I want to make a name tag of my own... Lolz!

2009-06-17T17:08:00.003+08:00

Super Junior's "It's You" is seriously addictive...

Whenever someone says the magic words 'It's You!' these days, I'll naturally go Neorago~

The Dance version MV is OUT!!!

And I can't help watching this again and again~ and again~ and again~

The formation is so cool!!!

2009-06-17T13:47:00.003+08:00

Stopped by my deviantart account to go thru the whole bunch of unread messages and realized that I hadn't drawn for a really really long time...

Walked past Lasalle the other day as I was heading to Intune...

Wow!!! Now they have a cool-looking cafe!!! What is this?!
During my time (ok, it wasn't tt long ago... It's just last sem...),
there ain't even a decent place for us to have a seat...

Except for the library (where we go hush hush)...
Or if you consider the grass patch and stairways decent places then I shall not comment...

Stupid school...

Btw, recieved my result slip...

Remarks: Pass. Eligible to graduated with BA degree with Second Class Honours (2nd Division).

Phew! I finally made it thru...

Convocation is gonna be at Expo this time round... (Soooo far!)

And I hate the last part of the piece with the convo information...

Please refer to College's website: www.lasalle.edu.sg in the month of July 2009 for details on attendance registration, academic gowns rental, guest tickets etc.

The College will not be sending any detail via mail.

What is this?
I can already miss out the registration deadline the previous time (diploma) when they send by mail...
Now they dun even send mails...
I'm gonna stick tt yellow A4 size paper on my wall so that I'll see it everyday and not forget...

Have to remember it till July before I can register... Argh!
Memory please dun fail me...

Cute Dance!

2009-06-12T13:52:00.002+08:00

I've this sudden interest in all those cute dance!

Actually it has started with 'Song Calling For You'

Then this...

and this!

Lolz! Old School!!!

2009-06-12T00:20:00.002+08:00

Now, I'm a bit "哭笑不得"

I think there's just something about me...

Somehow things just like to crash on me...

This coming sat, I've...

1. UR Man Dance Class at 4pm
(Thought that it would have been finished last week, but apparently they pushed the class back.)

2. Kovan Superstar Audition at 4:15pm.

3. One Million Star PK Challenger audition at 4pm. (Just received the sms from them)

How ar?

I think it's just some kinda force of something about me that's able to make things all fall into the same schedule...

Who knows? I might be able to manipulate time... Just that I haven't discovered it...

Did you know that most of my watches tend to go faster after sometime?

2009-06-10T01:41:00.003+08:00

Must have been watching too much Korean programmes...

Now I'm even paying attention to the '辈分' stuff...

Went to Intune today, and Irwin was practicing in the vocal room...
So I didn't bother him and just chat with the rest outside...

Later he came out and ask me why I didn't went in to greet him...

I was like,
"I'm older than you! Why do I need to go in and greet you?!"
Lolz...

Zuo En said if this is Korea, I can just give him a knock on his head!

2009-06-08T23:53:00.002+08:00

Gonna start attempting teaching tomolo...

*nervous... nervous... nervous... (>.<)

Wonder what kind of students I'll get...

Hope they're nice ppl...

Hope everything will go well...

がんばってます！

Fighting!!!

2009-06-08T00:00:00.002+08:00

I'm back to listening to Clazziquai Project again...

I actually knew about this group a few years back and I do think that they songs are quite interesting... Though I've only heard a few of their songs...

They actually started out as an indie fusion band... But somehow, their songs are catchy enough to made it into the mainstream...

Some of their works appeared on K-drama 'My Lovely Samsoon' and also the movie '200 Pounds Beauty' (Alex Chu sang one of the track 'Dance with my Daddy')...

Guess it's due to me watching one of the members Alex Chu on 'We Got Married'... Was touched by him singing 'Flowerpot' to Shinae...

Therefore I've a sudden urge to checkout Clazziquai Project's past works as well as Alex Chu's solo album...

Do check them out if you're interested in music with a mix of Jazz and Dance...

2009-06-06T21:54:00.003+08:00

Hangout at Square2 with my sis today...
Because we didn't know that our dance class was canceled...

Didn't know that the 'Boys Over Flowers' craze is so overwhelming...

Spend an hour at St. Games shooting Zombies...

I think it's rather cool!
Lovin' it! (nope, not doing commercials for Mcdonalds. They dun pay me!)

Gonna hang out there again soon... I hope! I wanna kill more Zombies!!!

2009-06-01T10:23:00.001+08:00

Sorry, Imeem...

I've moved on...

Moved on to MixPod...

Just because you FAILED me!
