可是我决定相信你一定有能力去承受。

所以我不会再帮你找借口了。

世上无难事只怕有心人。
你一定要加油。

Exhausted.

Must be falling sick again. Or must be getting old. Haha.
It was a tiring day today... but i don't think it was THAT bad. I've had worse. But why is it that i feel as though a train just ran over me?

Anyhow, started the day at 5.45am today after reaching home at 1am from the "lantern burning festival". Ended up in mediacorp at 6.30am for make up only to later realise that our interview on GMS had been pushed to a later slot.

A few extra snoozes in bed would have been very very priceless. Hahah... but interview on GMS went pretty well~! And to top it off... a nice lady called in on the show to give me encouragement! She referred to the comment that 0619 had said on the newspaper(she read it!) and said that this person must be jealous or something and that she totally doesn't agree and thinks i'm pretty! So sweeet! And it was live on GMS... so i was really really touched. So that really made my day...

But something really funny happened to me today. Just before i went on the show.. i started having wheezy coughs, which are actually in my experience, my body pre-empting me for an asthma attack. Which was really weird because it started out of no where.

But i survived the show anyhow and on the way home in the car, i realised how itchy i was everywhere. And how reddish my hands looked... when i reached home... i realised i had rashes all over my body!!!!

KICK ASS man! (lingyi: "whack!")

I've never had rashes before! I've looked at the rashes on others and gone like "aiyo... so poor thing must be very itchy right?"

But when i saw rashes on MY body for the FIRST time. I was like "COOOOL!!!!!!"

Hahaha, these are real bumpy reddish patches all over my skin.

Eh, come to think of it, i think i got it once before, after packing up a really dusty theatre club room during my days in Nanyang. But that was like 8 years ago la... so the re-visitation of the rashes today still kinda added some colour into my day. Haha.

You must think i'm crazy.

Anyway, I survived it so please don't scold me for taking this lightly or what. I'm kinda lucky because my asthma attacks are not the sudden severe kind. They're slow-acting and mostly caused by allergic reactions.

The rashes are mostly gone though(without me seeing the doctor!) though i'm still a bit itchy...

After that had filming in school for project till 4, and then had FYP group meeting till 7. Today was quite a thinking day for me ... bit drained of brain juice now. Need to sleep but don't feel like getting into bed this early. Feels really weird.

Hmph.

Er, my hand. Haha, its got rashes on it but you can't see it in this photo...
and the other photos are too gross so just show you my pretty hand la. Haha

I have no idea why but sparkles always
reminds me of my favourite drink...7-up.
They're both fizzy in a different sense....

I was perched on top of this structure in the play ground... it was about one storey high.
Nice night breeze, not so nice mosquitos.

"The ministry of waxing" Cool ad. =)

Check this out!
(links not working yet, but will be up in the next two days or so... =))

Slightly Accomplished!

AS things are getting busier and busier... I think I'm getting the hang of it better. =)
THe projects are piling up, Mid-term examinations are approaching(actually, i only have one subject that requires me to really sit down and study, not so bad) and mediacorp events are still popping up from time to time!

I feel very very occupied and busy! In a good sense of course.

And to top it off! I just spent half an hour washing my DAD's car! He's in India now so when he comes back it'll be spick and spank! SO pleased with myself...

Not only did i wash the family hierloom(just joking), I got some exercise and some mid afternoon sun as well. Feeling good! WOooo~! (bet the car's feeling good too. heh heh.)

I'm like on an adrenaline high now! Trying to organise a mooncake festival party tonight! Totally inspired by Jiahui... I haven't carried lanterns in so long. I used to just burn the lanterns in my garden untill there was a patch of grass that was so badly burnt that took like 10 years before grass started sprouting out again.

CAn't blog already. Must go convince friends to go for party tonight!

Happy 中秋节 everyone ! ! !

Itching Scalp..
I've been having a super itchy scalp ever since halfway through the super star competition. And it wasn't until today that i finally visited the doctor.

Been scratching alot more ever since i started school so my scalp's all reddish and flaky. Sounds gross right? Haha... But it really does bother me quite a bit. And i think the problem worsens when i'm stressed up or emotionally unstable. Which....in my honest opinion. Is rather common.

Haha. Yes, I admit, I'm the emo sort. which makes my scalp itch even more.

Anyhow, I've seen the doctor. Both western and chinese. Both in a day because my scalp was giving me so many problems... cannot concentrate on ANYTHING. On the brink of like throwing acid over my head.

HOpefully it gets better... good thing i haven't been losing hair. *phew*

There was another negative comment in the papers again. Almost sounds like it was from the same person but i doubt so. Its still mainly on the issue of why i'm so dirty and don't change my clothes. Haha. BUt thanks to all your encouragements, I kinda took this comment in a better way. Even my mum managed to laugh it off! Which is most important to me.

She hates that i have to go through all this criticism that's splashed all over papers. I still remember when i was in hongkong just after the competition and the newspaper had this full page spread on how lousy i am. My mum never showed it, over the phone or what, but when i returned home, my dad told me how sad my mum has been ever since reading the report. I hated the papers for that but understood there is really no one or anything i can put the blame on.

Its a column on the newspaper where people can actually SMS comments on the entertainment industry... the number's 90726316. Interesting. It looks like any other handphone number on the street right?

Here's what the comment said :

"看了我爱星期天，迪雅每次都穿同样衣服，不男不女，一点点水准都没有。
而且她又肉牙，又不美，一点可爱都没有。
－－0169"

WAH LAU EH!!!!@#$@#$#!@$%%^%!#!@

Seriously. How to not go mad at such a blatant "I HATE YOUR GUTS" comment like this?!? THis person obviously took some time to figure exactly how he/she would structure the sentence to fill it up with as many negative comments as possible.

What is meant by "一点点水准都没有"?

GRRRRRRRRRR.

Ok, Not pretty i understand. Such things are subjective.
(unfortunately for me, my mother said "ya la, i know my daughter not very pretty la, but 肉牙? Where got??" Hahaha)

Not cute. OK understandable, also a subjective thing.

BUt "一点点水准都没有" ??? HEllo??? I"m not even acting like a prostitute or beggar on the street. What in the world do you mean by that?!?

What is your definition of 有水准??

I can't even figure out what i did in the show to make this person feel this way of me. GRRRRRRrrrrr...

I'm INCREDULOUSLY offended and just plain 无奈!~

NOne of these comments are constructive or helpful to me! Clothes are allocated to me by wardrobe department, stuff like this, fixed by the production crew. Should i go for a plastic surgery to make myself look chio? Maybe Knock dowm my teeth and rebuild them? Would that make me more 有水准?

Goodness! Really. This person is just out to hurt me. Nothing constructive. Just sweeping remarks that are said to trample me to the ground. Urgh.

Am i hurt? NO. I am freaking offended! And my scalp is starting to feel itchy all over again!

THis person is out to hurt me! Out to hate me!

GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

So bring it on "0169".

If i ever see anyone on the streets who looks like a "0169", Think i might just......

创业无敌手 with daren at Eastcoast's "师奶茶餐厅“ selling Bo Lo Buns!
Its on the 28th of October! So mark it down on your calendar's ok!

Goodnight!

Tired! Tired! Tired!

Today my manager teased me for putting on so much weight since the end of the competition. Boo... Shan't tell you the nickname she gave me though because that would reveal my weight. Ha... NOOOoooo~!!!!! Haha, but after teasing me for half a day... she ended up eating a whole lot of food at the food reception after the trade show today. And while happily slurping down her spaghetti, she kept apologising to me for giving me the nick name and teasing me... Haha! Just so she could relieve herself of her guilt for eating so much too!

well, today mediacorp had a tradeshow where many important clients are invited to a 2 hour showcase of the upcoming dramas and content that will be coming up on television in a bid to attract and convince them to sponsor and advertise with mediacorp. So 6 of us, Me, Daren, Carrie, wenhai, Lesheng and Nat had the honour to represent the new upcoming show "S-Pop" as performers.

OH goodness we were really stressed up because if we don't do well, its mediacorp's face we're scratching. And ours of course. Other than a few hiccups here and there and a not so friendly sound system, i think overall we did pretty well and really enjoyed ourselves... although it was really tiring! Because we were one of the earliest to report! (7.30am!!!!). We were there till 7pm... you can imagine. Haha... there were alot of other artistes there as well! Old timers as well as the new up and coming. Think overall, it was a fun day... but am feeling uber tired now. Wanted to sleep. But thought i should blog a bit first... =)

taken at 7.30am in the morning,
on my way to swiss'otel...
*yawn*

the distorted/disembered body's carrie's. I have absolutely no idea what she's doing. Hahahaha... But only sam seems to be paying attention to her. Haha

This is ting ting! One of the wardrobe assistants... there used to be another one called Jasmine,
but she's left to pursue further studies. Regret not having taken a picture with her before.... good thing i finally have one with ting ting!

And this is UBER light, UBER silly Nicole! She's the wardrobe stylist! What does that mean... it means she chooses the clothes that we were to wear for the trade show! It means she's the fashionable person in mediacorp
(although it seems as though the no.1 pre-requisite to joining mediacorp is that you have to be fasionable. boo. ha.)

The veterans! Xiang Yun jie and Huang Wen Yong dressed
up as their characters in "The Awakening".
Goodness. Don't think i was even born yet when the show was aired.

My no.1 favourite supper choice! Kway CHap!!!! so Yah-Mee! And possibly the root cause of the resulted teasing from manager. Boo-Yah. BUt aiya! As long as we're happy right!!! Got to find that balance!

Pornsak!!! I like to talk to pornsak... he's very very easy going! OH, and there's silly chanel trying to 枪镜头behing us!

Frosty And me! Do you think my top looks familiar? Hmmm.... Make a guess. (oh btw, this is what i'm wearing for the christmas album.)

This is benny!~ The producer cum songwriter for almost
ALL the songs I've recorded in mediacorp so far.
He's the guy behind the nice theme songs of "bao bei fu nu bing"!
I love working with him... he's a very down to earth sort of guy
and although has a very very macho phsyique,
exudes a very fatherly sort of feel... =))))

I haven't taken a picture with my housemate for such a long time! So i decided to specially capture an unglam moment!
Hahaha, we took really long to get a satisfactory picture that
doesn't make us look too fugly. Haha...
Carrie deployed the "act cute, wide smile" stance
while i could only just be myself and show you all how
much of a 'kok-tao'(big forehead) i am.
Was wearing a hair band la...

And on a final note, Happy belated birthday Harnee! Its your 22nd year on earth... and *erhem* it seems you have had a fresh breath of air injected to your life now from outerspace...so treasure this ok! Although i'm always not around... and am not the most caring and thoughtful friend (who remembers birthdays, writes letters... etc.) I love you (and the rest of you) very very much. And i do hope to be a part in the important milestones in your lives. =)

Have to blog to get this off my chest....

This is going to be random and incoherent, but i have to.

Feeling glum now, because of some audience's comment on a newspaper that i'm not 可爱at all and always wear the same clothes(in reference to "i love sunday") and i'm 不难不†女。

Learnt that i get affected by such stupid comment very easily and perhaps am not suited to be in this industry because its a given you get alot of shit here and if you can't take it then you're out.

Hmmm.

We're not rich enough to always buy different' clothes for every different event that we appear in although we do our best. And perhaps in my case, I'm more boring, i'm always wearing the same old stuff... and that's because i feel comfortable in it and feel confident in it.


I don't feel confident in a dress, or some kind of aparrel that the so called woman of society are mostly found in. So irritating, i almost blame woman in society for all wearing the same kinda thing and making it an unseen rule that girls must wear dresses and girls must act in a way that is girly.

Argh.

the term 不男不女 is so awful !!!!!!

How would your mum feel if someone said that about you... guy or girl.

Am so sick and tired of such comments.

Must convince self that these people are entitled to own thoughts. Must convince self that these people are entitled to own thoughts. Must convince self that I am still who I am. Must convince self to stay calm in situations like this.

I feel a bit like bridget jones. Struggling between being herself and happy, and being someone she's not and happy because people are happy. Hmmm.

Alas!

we didn't win the youth.sg competition... although am a little disappointed because i really liked our video very much and put in alot of effort into the whole thing. Must remember, its not about winning. (Although one thousand harvey norman vouchers would have really given our current zero dollar FYP account a great boost)

But read the comments here! Very very encouraging to our team.

http://standup.youth.sg/blog/?p=51#comments

and lastly...thankyou all who made the effort to take a look at our video and taken the extra effort to vote~! Most appreciated! But this is not the end of it ok... if possible. Send the link of the video to all your friends.

Because... what's a singer who sings to no one, an actor who acts for no one and a film-maker who keeps his films to himself.

Going off to audiopost now to do my part of the recording for a christmas album mediacorp will be launching at the end of thisyear. I'm singing a duet with Daren. HOpe it turns out festive! HAhaha ....take care!

Oh, and on a side not... my friend Lebby leb leb joined a SIM singing competition and came in third! YAY!!!! REjoice~!

Brownian Motions rock!

"i am once agn excited abt FYP and do not blame me for being irritating, smsing every moment.. email and all... wanting to meet up everyday... muahahah.. after all PK got work and gf, helmi is going far, diya is superstar.. me is unhappening student assistant.. so naturally i will try to meet up with u guys so have a feel of social life.. muahahah..."

If monohuimino is excited. I'm excited. mono is so cute!

I see a glimmer of hope!

Oh and its 12th of Sept today! Voting for the youth.sg contest ends tomorrow! Oooooh so exciting!

Evan 'Almighty' Lee

You must be wondering why there's an extra Lee behind my title for this post today...

Its because my little cousin(who is no longer little... AHHHH!!!!) is called Evan Lee Yanzhi!

check out his blog if you want... he seems like a nerdy primary 6 kid who reads alot of books and likes to nua at home kind. Which is quite the case for evan lee except that this cousin of mine has a funny bone and likes to share quirky jokes. Haha, very sweet kid who will always help me to run small errands like bringing things to me but is extremely clumsy so i refrain from asking him to undertake such tasks. Hahaha.

And! I have a littler cousin(who is also no longer as littler as i would like him to be! AHHHHH!!!!!) who is called Gareth Lee Yan Xun.

Let's see, how should i describe him since he doesn't have a blog you peeps can devour. Errrm. He's my little fatty boy, eats almost everything i eat (although sometimes pretend to not want it first and then asks innocently "erm, what are you eating ARH???" as though i'm eating some weird 8 legged frog dish) He's very cute and adorable, damn nice to hug la. And tends to sleep with his eyes half open. Oh! He has one helluva potent fart! For that... he shall be Gareth ALmighty Lee too!

Anyhow, this is how the story begins...

*diya's phone rings..."难道我又我又初恋了"*

"hello?"

"*excited hoarse whisper* hello! lydia jie jie ah! you want to watch movie with us?"

" erm.... when?"


"*same excited hoarse whisper*er...tonight! 9.40pm, evan almighty!"

(assuming littler almighty lee meant 'us' as his family...)
" Ok lor."

(shouts to mother)
"Mummy! Lydia jie jie say can!"

(mother shouts back in return!)
"Really ah? Just the three of you, you know? Did you ask her?"

(sudden realisation my aunty and uncle would not be going...)
"What?! Just the three of us ah?"

"*softer hoarse whisper* Ya, three of us only..."

"ORH... so you mean would I like to bring the two of you to go watch Evan Almighty la...."

"*whimper* ya...."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! My cousins are so so so so cute!!!!!!!!!! Love them so much!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the long story. But i wanted to keep the suspense. Hahaha....
Well we watched the show and had a good laugh, Gareth was having a bad cough so he was not allowed any popcorn but he kept trying to steal popcorn from his brother throughout the show!(even though i bought him two hotdogs!) and Evan Lee was happily playing the big brother role of preventing his younger brother from getting the popcorn by giving him killer stares while i had to slap gareth's sneaky hands which were crawling towards the popcorn from time to time.

think we caused a bit of a distraction to the couple next to us. OH , and it didn't help that poor Gareth was enjoying the show so much that he was laughing with every ounce of energy his poor cough affected lungs had, so he was half laughing half coughing himself blue throughout the show. I don't know how else to describe the way he coughed man.

Erm. lemme think.

Its like... " Bwa-ha!-ha! *cough cough**choke choke*-Ha! *cough*-Ha! *choke* ha! ha! ha!"

So, here's the verdict!

Gareth says: "Wahaha*coughchokecoughchoke*
this show is so funny! Must watch!"

Look at this little imp.
He's a very spontaneous kid.
I think, would make a very very good child actor...
jack neo should consider him.

Evan Lee says:
"Hmm, being the mature brother i am, i won't say
its a must watch beacuse if you only have 7 dollars, or 7 dollars and 50cents
or 8 dollars...aiya you get what i mean right?
If you only have money for one movie, then ra-te-too-ee is funnier,
but since Evan Almighty is named after me.
I think its a pretty good show to catch as well! So thumbs up!"

Yay!

And this is what i mean
when i say they were little and littler....

See! So small!

Aiya, but small medium, large, like french fries and coke,
no matter what, they'll always be my lovely cousins. =)

Singapore Hit Awards 2007


MY mum showed me a comment on the evening tabloid the other day, and she had a good chuckle at me having being nominated as "best newcomer". Its not a good comment... it was something like

"chenshiwei 和 chendiya 凭一首歌就能够被提名为“最佳新人”真是太不可思议！－不满的听众” H

aha, but i know she's proud of me nevertheless. So a biggie thank you to each and everyone of you who supported me throughout the competition and voted for me when the song "chumo" was in the billboard charts. That's the reason i'm in the running for "best newcomer". THank you. For helping me make my mother feel proud of me. =)

Anyhow, the competition is really strong! Haha, and although i'm feeling happy that i'm nominated for something as prestigious as this(i would never have imagined that one day i would be one of the nominees for something like this!) i can't help but have mixed feelings.

I think till now, many of you still don't know that i don't have an album coming up at all. Alot of people's first question to me would be " so when is your album coming out?" and when i say "i don't have one." they always try to switch the topic to avoid embarassment or hurt for me. Haha... quite funny really. But well, the mixed feelings perhaps is because of all the people in the running for this award, each and everyone of them have an album. Even daren has his own album coming up. So i count each and everyone of them full-fledged singers.

As for me?

I'm still album-less and i feel slightly 遗憾 about it.

It would have been ideal and perfect if i had an album in production. Then this nomination would mean so much more to me... BUT i still want to give thanks. Give thanks to God that he has already given me so much. So much more than i could have ever ask for. (although i'm obviously rather greeeeeeedy... hahaha) My road thus far has been an amazing one... and i think my short term goal for now. Will be to survive my FYP... which is currently in a bit of a messy situation.

Woot!~

I'll be involved in the mediacorp radio event at the zoo end of this month... I'll update the proper details soon la. Probably get kelly to update it on tandiya.blogspot cuz afterall, i do want this to be my personal blogspace and not just a place for updates. =)

Will be involved in preseident's star charity... singing a duet with Singapore Idol's Jonathan Leong(TOO TALL!!!!!!) and also performing at AMK hub on the 23rd this month. SO do drop by and say hello if you're around the corner... haha.

ANd a big reminder! I read the tagboard but i refrain from tagging because some imposters like to pretend to be me and tag as me. So if there's anything you want me to reply to... leave me a comment ok? Its under each post. =) I try my best to reply to all...

Alrite then. For now! Take care! OH yes! And do vote for me because even after all my rambling... this nomination still means a hell lot to me! =) what's the url for voting though? Erm....

And when i'm free...
i'll upload pictures of my excursion to
Ikea with Zijie and Shunyi! Freaking funny!!!!

Till then.... take care and study hard ya. Beesian, Xueting, Pam especially...
Oh yes. And you Ngeow Zijie. STUDY HARD!!!!! Don't give up!

Tagged!

Oh dear, after all my ranting about how i'm so out of this tagging circle. I get reminded with a poke from jonnie that he tagged me, its just that i didn't realise it. Feel so stupid. Thanks Jonnie for remembering me. =) Sweet! So here goes!


--------
Rules of the game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

1. "Last piece syndrome"- I can never bring myself to finish the food on my plate and must always leave behind a crumb or two. Or when sharing something with friends, I'll always be wishy washy about the last piece, offering it time and time again to the others, refusing to finish it up myself even though I might have really enjoyed the dish.


2. I secretly kept two white mice as pets during primary school(my mum is totally against furry creatures) after reading Roald Dahl's "The witches". I built them their own bungalows out of cardboard and newspaper but they always chewed their way through it. Grrrr... Eventually one died of old age and one drowned.... =(


3. I was the only female in a primary school gangster gang which would compete against other gangs in school as to which gang could produce the most amount of eraser rubbings in a week. We would have "wars" in school using rubber bands and intricately folded paper bullets!


4. I had my own library business in primary school! Had a really rich buddy called Ms Ong Xinyue who owned like a whole lord of Archie Comics and Bookworm Club Books. So i borrowed them, set up a booth in class during recess and rented it out to kids who couldn't afford to purchase these books(it cost almost 5 bucks a book! And we only get 2 bucks a day lor...) at 50 cents per day! I split the profit with Ms Ong but i bet she doesn't remember.


5. I'm somebody who has many good friends but very few best friends. As a result, i sometimes find myself a bit of a drifter and sometimes wish i had one or two REALLY REALLY good friends. I guess, this part of me makes me rather insecure sometimes...


6. The first time i took an airplane, it was on a 16 hour flight to Los Angeles. I went there with my dad who was on a business trip. I sat alone in Economy class while he sat comfortably in Business Class. When i was cruising through the channels on Kris Flyer, I saw for my very first time, an R(A)-ed scene. I was so afraid that the air stewardess who were walking up and down the aisle would have seen it so i immediately shut it off and pretended to sleep. (they should really try to censor the channels man...)


7. when i was young, my idol was..... *drumroll* Jimmy Lin. WAh! I loved him to the core man! I was so so sad when he had to go to the army... hmm but he doesn't seem to have aged over these years.


8. When i was in primary school, I joined the choir for half a year and then my mum made me quit because it was taking up too much of our time(Nyps choir is quite reputable so we go to various competitions and events to perform). I eventually ended up in Library!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! *pUlls hair* BUt it was so fun, I became president of the library club. We spent most of our CCA time wrapping books in plastic, having fencing sessions with the feather dusters and playing hide and seek(i always win, because i'm small and damn good at hiding.)


9. The first time(and last time la!) i stole something, it was at a stationary shop. I stole one of those postcards that has singapore's skyline on it. I didn't even steal it because i wanted it badly... I don't even know what came over me. I just took it. And i felt so bad for the rest of the month until i finally confessed to a friend.


10. Shit. I think i have naughty streak in me. But... when i was in primary school i used to forge my dad's signature. Not because my results are bad and i don't want them to know... but because we used to have this kinda like moral education notebook. I can't remember how it works ... but it was super LEY-CHEY. Every week i have to get my parents signature.. and obviously from time to time(actually, all the time la) i forget. And to avoid getting scolded by my teacher... I forge their signatures. Quite convincing really. Hahaha... I wasn't until half a year had passed did my mum discover this little book in my bag, open it up and to her horror! Find the signatures on the book looking a little suspicious. heh heh. She didn't beat me though, i think she was more amused than angry during that incident.

That about sums it up! Haha... HOpe that helps you peeps understand a bit more about me. =)
It really late now... But for a quick update! I brought my cousins to watch "Evan Almighty"! It was pretty nice... Will tell you more about what my cousins think about the show in the next post. for now. I need to sleep. And dream about Aids situation in CHina and how i want my film treatment and story structure to be.

Goodnight!

Deal with it

Spent 4 hours in school today catching up on lecture screenings that i've missed over the past two weeks. Watched a particular short film called "Gowanas, Brooklyn" which is probably the predecessor to a film i watched(and walked out off) called "Half nelson". Its the same plot, with the same cinematography and if my memory serves me well, the same black actors and actresses.
Don't understand the film very much, even after having watched half of the movie version and the full short film version. the only thing i liked about it was the line "Deal with it."


The little black girl in the film exudes a certain coolness about her when she tells her mother to "deal with it" when her mum complains about how she cooks for her daughter everyday but her daughter chooses to buy her own hamburger for dinner one night.


The thing is, she doesn't do it out of disrespect. It came out as "face it mum, I'm old enough to make my own choices now, to decide not to eat your dinner and buy my own hamburger, you have to learn to deal with it.'


Its cool.


but please don't start saying that to your mum and then say i taught you to. I don't think it works in asian societies. You'll probably end up with a handprint on your face. (Although I can't help but imagine myself doing it to my mother. Haha... Yanzhi, don't try this on your mum ah. Unless you're just trying to funny. )



Just the other day, I was at paragon with zijie and we saw this really cool thing that kids were playing with! Its like a game board that is projected on the floor and you get to kick and step around in order to play the game. There are like motion sensors or something and i think it would be cool to have one of these in my house.... helps me to exercise. Hahahaha...

This is 'the newpaper' soccer game... you have to kick the ball around, but its quite weird when you're really just kicking into thin air. But fun la, nevertheless. Haha...

Ooooooh! My favourite game! I waited really long just to play this game... think its the nicest game although the concept is rather morbid. Basically you throw boomerangs at kangaroos hopping by and you earn points if you hit them (morbid right? who wants to kill kangaroos man!)

tadah!

And here's a cameo of two really wacky friends in SCI... Meiji and Colin! I think they would make a really cute couple(but no... they're not together.)

OH ya, and if you peeps didn't know already, i went on a very sacred mission last friday! running around NTU looking for hunks! Haha, it was really tiring because i was still having a sore throat but overall it was a rather fulfilling experience. Have a look! These are the two finalists from NTU!

Erm, about 5 people have exclaimed at the picture
"The guy looks like Zijie at first sight!"
what do YOU think?

And if you visit dasmondkoh.com you'll see that there's a guessing game going on...

And in defence! I wasn't about to make a guess AT ALL!
I just happened to be posing with two victory signs for the camera.... grrrr
