Need a breather...*pant pant*

Ok just some time off from work. My head is all messed up now from trying to cut and paste quotes together. My FYP documentary is slowly but surely taking form... we're running out of time and things are getting a little bit heated now. But its nothing we can't get past together. because we're not CBKs yah?

But as said, this is only a breather... hence it shall be LAZY PICTURE POST 2!!!!!! Wahaha...

My beloved cousin/role model Celine Tan got married
to a particular MR.WHO last december...
and I was the Bridesmaid cum Host cum Performer
at the wedding! Do we look alike? Hee...

Here's a pic of us fooling around before going up to MR WHO's house.
I'm wearing the bridesmaid dress that kept threatening to slip down!
Apparently i lost a little bit of weight after going for the fitting.
Hee Hee Hee. But still fat la. Shit.

And you know how bridesmaids are supposed to be a picture of glamour and poise.
However, I had a mini paige boy walk down the aisle
with me and this silly boy(so cute!) was swinging the cushion with the
wedding rings around so both rings fell to the floor!!!
So with poise i had to bend down(while still holding on tightly to the Tristan's hand just in case he runs off)
and pick up the rings from the ground.
You can see Celine looking worried. Haha.

Then there was Jay! I enjoyed the concert very much, but to be fair(and unbiased) Jay's voice was quite bad that night. He didn't hit the high notes and was shaky at the low notes. The stage was a little small. And i think the worst was that the seats were too close to each other!!! Huimin hit the lady in front on the head with the light stick so many times! And to think we paid 198 dollars for such cramped seats. Sigh, Jay Chou is just way cool to miss though. Mayday's coming. These concerts are burning a huge hole in my pockets man...

Very high after the concert! We were singing at the top of our voices
while walking to the car and then later on in the car.
Haha, we blasted Jay's music and rocked the car at the traffic light,
winded down our windows and told the cars nearby that "Jay Chou rocks".
Quite mad i would say.

Then we had supper at Xin Wang! When Campus Superstar started,
Zijie would always tell us that Keely looks like Huiwen(left
Campus Superstar, we had people telling Carrie they saw her on TV
when it was keely they saw. Hmmm?

We took alot more pictures then this, but i haven't got anymore time. I have to rush down to mediacorp now for NTUC show. Will update this post maybe when i need another breather tonight in between doing my paper edit... Bubbai!!

Come what may

O' level results are coming out today.! I put both the period and the exclamation mark because i didn't know exactly which one to use. If i use the period, it would be like a factual statement that should have no hint of happiness. But if i use the exclamation mark, then it means I'm excited that the results are coming out today.

Which one would you use?

AHhh!!!! After months of hard work, today marks the day where all that untangible effort gets translated into alphabets on a piece of paper. I was never a very good student, as i'm sure many of you can tell. So all my my hard work was cramped into one desperate month before the prelim examinations.

Erm, back then in my time, the prelim examinations were very important because it would determine which JC you would spend your first three months in. I remember being the the auditorium of Nanyang and getting back my last paper... I think it was A' Maths. And i got a 74.5... that's an A1 rounded up! Haha... and then we had to finalise all our results scores in order to submit the final L1R5 score.

I remember calling my mother(damn excited, because I'm really a very bad student la. ANd i hardly get the chance to tell my mother that i have good results. And my mother is totally the kind of mum who digs good results.) and feeling all excited about telling her my results. In fact, i wanted to trick my mum into believing that i got a lower grade and then laugh in her face and say "bluff you one lar!"

But when my mum pick up the call, there was something in her voice that made me just plainly and simply tell her the truth. So i told her, "Mummy.. I got 8 points."

And then, over the phone. I heard my mother cry.

My mum reprimands, nags and even punishes me with the cane when I'm mischievious. My mum doesn't cry!

But with a small breaking voice she said "Daddy just lost his job...". And then in my heard i thanked God for having given me this invisible force and determination to study hard, because deep down i knew, that if that day i had gotten the results that i had been getting over the year(which is pretty bad...) I might not have been able to lift the burden off my mum's shoulder just by a little bit.

But it was then i realised how lucky i was as a student, as a daughter. I only had to worry about my results, but back at home, my mum had an entire list of things to worry about.

I don't know how you would feel after reading this post,it doesn't have "a moral truth" that I'm trying to preach to you. I'm just recounting an experience which means alot to me and i just wanted to share it with you all.

Good luck for your O's today peeps. I wish you all the best.

Lazy Photo Post...

(thanks to Dan Yan's camera.)

FYP shoot on Sunday...

And... its a WRAP!!! (1030am-0630pm)

even the cat noes...

we love void decks...

Favourite photo of the day! THis totally cracks me up!!! "SHakin that ass..."

Dinner with cousins at home...

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Company
and even Good Music and Good Dancing.

FYP shoot on Monday...

Introducing Ah Seng and Sebastian. Haha, two rascals.

Two other rascals. But super serious at work.

Feeling really tired... So I'll go hit the sacks! Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Am i not a fighter?

Went for S-pop roadshow today at Ngee Ann, and at the end of it i felt so drained out. Bit moody today too. Don't know what's come over me... I think, tomorrow will be the last chance for 沙漠 to be performed on a stage live in front of the audience. So do come down tomorrow, we'll be at East Point from 3-4pm.

And i still have FYP to think about. Just ended a phone conversation with Peeks. My stomach is growling and i just got a whole lotta brain food. =) The stress is getting to me. Directions Directions Directions... Director. I was always the confident sort, standing tall(although i'm not very tall), maybe its more accurate to say I'm garang. To everything I'll say "No problem! Can one! Just imagine!"

but its all a little murky now. And working to clean it all up.

So much on my mind. Oh, and Yilin's getting married tomorrow! I haven't had a single rehersal yet and i haven't written out the script...(i'm hosting the wedding. =) )

I am stressed.

I haven't said this in a long while. But i think i am. Yeah.

Maybe i'll feel a bit better when S-pop results are finally out. Now, I'm just stuck between fighting for 沙漠's dear life till the very end and praying and hoping that there are others out there who like the song and finally decide to sit down in front of the com spend 5 dreary minutes registering and another 2 minutes voting.

I really like 沙漠.
I really want to give my best for FYP.
ANd i really CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH JAY CHOU TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!
(this is what stress does to people. haha...)

***Update: Will be at a wedding so i won't be reporting to mediacorp like the others so please don't be waiting outside... I'd rather see you all energised and all hyped up at the event instead of being tired and sweaty from waiting outside under the hot sun...

This takes the cake.





Starting bid: $1000/-

"Buy it NOW!": $1200/-

Original price of tickets: $396 + 2 dollar sistic fee = $398/-

Profit earned: $600 to $800 dollars!!!! @!@#&$#!*))^%#$!!#

" One pair of tickets , Cat 1, PA2. Singapore Indoor Stadium.

This is the first ever Jay Chou concert held in Singapore which falls on his birthday. Expect plenty of whoas and satisfaction for many would know that concerts held on the superstar's birthday will be eventful and worthwhile.

Don't miss this memorable evening that may only happen once in a lifetime in Singapore. Miss it this lifetime, might not happen again.

Some(ME! ME!) may feel that its mindless profit exploitation for the tickets.

To me, its about how much you think this Jay Chou birthday concert is.

Please email me at ..... for more info. "

I couldn't even be bothered to erase the email address from the picture... well, if this person can be so blatant about exploiting this whole event for profit. I don't see why i have to be subtle.

Here's his email address s90907070@hotmail.com

Email him if you want to buy his tickets
(although i think its better you give jay that 1000 bucks as his birthday present. -_*" )

If this person can sue me for blatantly expressing my unhappiness. I don't see why Jay can't sue him for exploiting his concert. Sue him, Jay. *grits teeth*

Revolting, Disgusting, Despicable

Been in search of 2 Cat 1 Jay Chou tickets for the 18th and its been tough! There used to be a time when Jay Chou was a luxury for not only the rich who could afford it but also the good people who scrimped and saved in advance just to catch a glimpse of his mighty Chou-ness at work.

But now, Jay Chou tickets are simply the fast track to earning quick bucks which is way DESPICABLE!!!!! I don't think Jay tickets sold out so quickly because it was quickly snapped up by people who WANTED to watch the concert but rather by people who wanted to SELL and make MONEY out of this whole event.

It was so difficult to get hold of the tickets but I'm really very very thankful for J and A's help! It was the first day of ticket sales and the queue at sistic was already comparable to the 179 queue at Boon Lay mrt, and apparently the sistic website was hanging up. So in a desperate move i msged J: "Are you awake?I need a favour. Life and Death!" to my surprise(and deep gratitude) J called back and in a really sleepy and throaty voice said "Hello? Ya? I'm awake...whassup?"

So I've got my tickets, but not after alot of twists and turns to this story which i OBVIOUSLY am not going to elaborate on because i am LAZY. HAHAHAHA....

Anyhow, there's still alot of people out there who haven't got tickets and i feel bad so i went online in search for real fans of jay chou who might be selling of their tickets due to last minute circumstances. I just ended up in a black market where the tickets were going at absurbly high prices!

THis particular one pissed me off the most!

The starting bid has to be above 600 dollars!!!! that's already a hundred dollars more than what the tickets are selling for at sistic! And "Buy it now" at $1000/=! That's madness la. But that's not what got me blood curdling... I understand how money-minded our society is, our economy is what drives us all going. And i suppose based on our different backgrounds and circumstances there might be a hundred and one reasons why anyone would do this.(Like how Li Nan Xing did so many bad things but he's essentially not immoral.)

What really got me angry was that the seller said this in the description....


"A Pair of Cat 1 Jay Chou World Tour 2008 18th Jan Tickets for Sale!!.. Seating plan is Block A13 Row 8 seat 2&3. Due to work commiment i have to give it a miss!!...sobx.. Genuine buyers can email me at ...."

" Due to work commiment i have to give it a miss!!...sobx.. "

How can that be true!!! You're selling the @#$!#!@# tickets at 1000 dollars!!!! *faints*

I think i wouldn't have been so angry if the seller had just left the part about being all sobx and whinez about not being able to go due to certain "work commitments" out. Grrrr.

Anyhow, on a "heavier" note(heavier because we're all one kilo fatter now). Food makes me happy! And it makes my FYP mates happy too! After a late but uberlicious dinner at Arab street bout two days back, we ended up in Geylang for durians! Which made producer Huimin super Happy!!!! SHe was so happy she didn't catch me snapping away with my phone...

King of all fruits...

The Brownians!

And presenting to you....Hungry Huimin!!!!

Mono don't kill me. =P

ZZZZzzzzz...

Yesterday N was bored.. today I am bored.

Haha. Today being a completely taskless day, waking up late at 1pm(SHIOK!), no school, no filming, no outings, no gatherings. I had told myself that today would be a fantastic day to rest and just sit down on the bed with a book.

So after waking up at 1pm, taking a really nice long bath, reading a book with Khalil Fong's latest album crooning in the background, the first 45 minutes of it all was simply pure bliss.

But being the person i am. I can't sit still for more than 45 minutes without starting to get restless. Minute by the minute, the boredom started creeping in. Not that the book in my hand wasn't engaging. Its "Lolita" by VLadimir Nabokov and its super engaging. But i was never the avid book reader.

And so now, 2 hours have passed and i am OFFICIALLY bored.

Thank goodness Mono is coming to rescue me from the abyss of boredom in a bit. Haha, so before she does that i thought i should come by my "stale" blog to do some virtual "scribbling". Weeha!

Well its another 10 days before the results for the top 6 songs for S-pop will be released. This is not exactly my competition, but i'm feeling the jitters. Its weird really, because i think i probably want more for the song to get through more than the song composer herself and yet at the same time I haven't been voting for the song. Maybe i try too hard to be all noble and detached from this voting system, but at the end of the day.

Will i regret my decision. Will i be slapping myself in the face and asking "Would it have been different if i had chosen to vote for the song myself?" This is life, so many questions and so little answers. I think, I'll give in soon and 做最后的冲刺！ not sure if its too late, but blogging about it now has somehow brought somekind of a premature closure for me since based on the rankings week in week out it seems like its going to be hard for 沙漠 to be a part of the top 6 songs. Nevertheless, for those who have been voting, thank you for the effort. It is much much appreciated. Thank you.

Since we're in the spirit of counting down to things, here's another thing. Its another 4 months before i pen the last examination paper in my four years in NTU. Which means I'll be stepping out into the real world soon!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!! *freaking out*

ooops. Got a call from mono, gotta go pick her up and end my boredom! Will update soon... meanwhile, here's a picture of my darling FYP group ! (Ms Yeo is there because she was there to help out!)

Inspiration from a "little old man"...

When i began the new year, I dared not think about what resolutions i would set for fear of not fulfilling them yet again. But after reading Caleb's("little old man" because he'll always be lebbyleb in our eyes but without knowing it lebby has grown up so quickly and matured into a very spiritual and focused, and not to forget, handsome young man!) blog and his decision not to take up the modelling contract and receiving his very encouraging SMS the other day, I feel very guilty for the many things i seem to have placed aside as "not so important" in year 2007. And I'm very encouraged and inspired to follow in his footsteps and make it right.

At least i know I'm trying, and not just giving up before embarking on it.

A few things i need to refocus on in year 2008:
1. God (spiritual walk)
2. Music (yes! Music!)
3. School
4. Career (this is what happens after i graduate...)

I've been blessed to bless. And with the little achievements I've made, I realised i'm very fortunate that i'm able to touch people around me with little gestures and that's all I want to try and do, to the very best of my abilities.

Sorry to all about my "ranting". That shouldn't be the way to start my year 2008! But have no worries because I bounce back really quickly! THank you for all the encouraging messages you all have left for me... but you make sure it applies to you too ya!

For updates, been really busy with FYP, haven't been getting much sleep the past few days so I still haven't fully recovered from my flu and sore throat but I've been eating alot more these days that i'm sick and busy at the same time! Just today alone I ate 3 curry puffs, 2 plain pratas, 2 slices of pizza, One chicken caesar salad, 10mini tangerines, a bowl of wantons, quite alot of chicken and alot of peanuts.

ARHHH!!!!!! Part of 2008 resolution. SELF-CONTROL!!!!!!

OK, gotta get up at 4am to go shoot people distributing newspapers at the void deck plus cross fingers, pray and ask that the skies will be clear tomorrow morning so that we can get the sunrise!

This will be the second time I'm watching the sunrise with my dearest FYP mates.
HOw romantic... hahaha.

OH!!!! AND ITS TWELVE MIDNIGHT!!!!
SO.... HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY NGEOW ZIJIE!!!!!!

First Rant of 2008

sometimes i try too hard.

I didn't expect anything, but i never expected otherwise.

People believe in what they want to believe in, no matter what other people tell them or what the truth is. They choose what they want to believe in and like some kind of self-prophesy, allow or wait for it to happen just so they can step back, scoff and say "See! I knew it so!"

We're only human. We're not supernatural just because we're artistes. We're only human.

And humans have flaws, just like you. Because you're only human.

I've been true to myself. I am who you see. I do what I do.

Believe in whatever you want to believe in.

I give up.

Just go ahead, move on and be happy.

那首歌

I really like this song. And so...to finish off year 2007, despite my flu and sore throat, I still went ahead with performing this song. It was a very noisy event with all the whistles and screams going on, the turn out was good and the crowd was very friendly.

I could hardly hear my voice beyond all the whistling and through my own blocked nose and ears but i really sang this song from my heart. Much like how Yoga Lin does without considering how ugly he might look(athough i actually find it rather cute. haha...)

I enjoyed myself last night counting down with the people at Hong Kah North CC. And after yesterday's performance, I sounded like a pipe of untuned strings. Haha... But i treated myself to two double chocolate cookies from SUBWAY!!! YUM YUM! What a great way to usher in the new year! Hahaha...

Anyhow i only woke up at 3pm today(not a good way to start 2008) even though i had planned to wake up earlier to pack my room and have lunch with my cousins... but my frail body didn't allow me so. Haha... The sleep did me good though but that would mean that my first day in 2008 will be spent half on recuperating my flu-ravaged body and the other half filming my FYP. Haha...

Just want to thank Jing, X(t), jiemin, Daevon, Rah, Jiaqi and Amanda, Zijie, Trecia and gang and of course my beloved Manager Lingual for being there at the countdown!!! HAha... wouldn't have been the same without you guys. Especially the two crazy light stick girls in the front, I was freaking out because i couldn't see the audience and i know i wasn't sounding good but seeing two light sticks swinging from side to side really motivated me and kept me going. Thank You!

Thank you Jing and Delphina and little Nigel for the presents yesterday! I and Carrie had a really fun time opening them up... now my bed is a little too crowded. Haha.

And thank you x(t) for the t-shirt. Its very.... ME. haha!

Yesterday night, before the countdown i recorded my own version of 那首歌 on my laptop. You'll hear my handphone ring in the distance, me sniffing and clearing my nose and trying to catch my breath before the next stanza. All in all, I present to you a very very UNCUT version of my 那首歌. HOpe you peeps like it... =)

Happy Happy Blessed New Year Everyone! FYP mates! HERE I COME!!!!
