Christmas!

Summative is finally over. Not like its the ultimate key to freedom but at least it's one burden off the shoulder. Wouldn't want to mention how it went at all. Then i took two and a half days off from studying. Completely away from the notes and books because i just thought i really needed that.

Stayed over at Mich's place on Sunday and we had so much of fun! I brought my Renal notes over to study together but we ended up watching Bella and Edward's kissing scene on youtube (and i swear to god we both look like we're watching porn in the living room with the parents gone) LOL. It's amazing how time flies when you spend it with people that you really love. Sigh. Then, we brought out her christmas tree and we decorated it!!! =D So proud of us both! The pics are not up yet, soon. Damn funny lah the both of us. And pretty retarded too.

I can't wait to go home this Wednesday already! It's christmas eve! One year gone. And again. Can't wait to see mom and dad, can't wait to see two precious, new things that i own now which is waiting for me at home, can't wait for the christmas dinner, can't wait to be back just where i belong! =)

If i could write to Santa and of course, if that cute little old man truly does exist *grins*, i'd ask him to :

1. let me pass my eos 5
2. let Mich, Surin and the rest of the batch pass too
3. keep my family safe, happy, and healthy
4.
get Edward to bite me
5. get Edward to steal me away and ride with me, off into the sunset in that charming white horse!

Happy holidays everyone and merry christmas! =)

Twilight At Last!

Yeah you know it! Mich and I went for Twilight already!

TWILIGHT.TWILIGHT.TWILIGHT.TWILIGHT.TWILIGHT.TWILIGHT.

This post, i dedicate to my beloved Michelle =) Who dragged me out of this notable despair, to her aunt's place for lunch (it felt like i was on the way meeting m
y future boyfriend's parents seriously), and then telling me we're going for twilight. There was this moment of silence and my heart literally stopped beating. No palpitations. Time froze. (you know like how you watch it in matrix). And then, SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! Trust me, the look on my face was priceless. And on the way, we both just kept muttering, "omg, i cannot believe we're watching twilight". OMG OMG. Shut up!

It was impossible to take the thought of me going to watch twilight
out of my mind. I figured i would never be able to catch in theatres and i've already given up procrastinating and i told myself that i'd just probably have to settle with a pirated dvd copy which i'd buy from midlands and watch it back at home where my dad's stereo isn't all that bad either.

This was a huge, huge, huge surprise. I can never thank you enough Mich. And to your mum and dad =)

Rob Patt's acting skills were a bit off at times. But i don't know who else would be fit enough to play Edward other than him. His looks are just killing. From the moment he came on screen till the end, we both couldn't stop gasping for air. Seriously. My, my, isn't Cam Gigandet (who plays James the tracker) a hotty too? LOL. And Emmett. And Carlisle. Oh my, Carlisle. I suppose Adrian's right afterall. Carlisle is indeed HOT. lol. Then again, you know how when you take a novel and translate it into a movie and the director doesn't exactly follow each and every detail from the book? Yeah, you get a little, just a little disappointed, like you know this part could've been so much better if they just follow the exact plot and all. But overall, i loved it. I don't know bout y'all, but Mich and i went ga-ga.

I'm a happy girl now =) With Edward emotionally by my side, i'm sure i'd pull through life. LOL These are just two pics that i really love. There are MORE. They're in my laptop and i sent them to Mich and she drooled so much that even Tia (her dog) couldn't even drool as much.




Twilight, at last.

Broken

It's too much and she just can't take it anymore. Afterall, she's only human. But a human with a heart as a fragile as this.

Say No

No. I am not lending anyone my notes for photocopying anymore. Don't ask me why. Just shut up.

Michelle says i should get over it. LOL

ps: i am currently reading twilight. and i'm a pain to my own arse cos i just can't stop now. you have no idea how much of strength and effort is needed to look away from it. TSK!!!!

November 29, 2008

Pouts

No, life isn't fair at all. Completely unfair! Mock osce had to be one day before the release of Twilight (the first screening) and exams have to be so near and now i can't go watch it =( To go all the way to the theatres to catch it would probably take too much out of me cos i'm constantly pressing for time and when i have a little bit of time, I NEED IT TO BREATHE. And the first Twilight book is just literally next door to me (with Yilin) and here am i, controlling that every ounce of tempation that is drawing me to it. I know if i start reading it, i won't stop till i finish all four and i know that's gonna be costly no matter how fast a reader i am. Tsk! The thought of Robert Pattinson just drives me crazy! And Kristen Stewart is just plain stunning. Period.


Everyone's on holidays now. SPM ended, STPM might've/already ended and the whole damn world is already in the festive mood. And tell me what am i doing here now?! Studying. Great lah seriously.

6 Things i'm passionate about

1. Music
Which includes playing the piano, practising my terrible violin skills and guitar and performing! And singing (i might not have celine dion's vocal cords, or whitney houston's, but it's not like the world would crumble apart when i start singing, so haha) I say, no music, no life!

2. Dancing
Definitely ballet, my all-time favourite classical dance =) Despite my not-so-perfect physique for ballet, i still love it. Love ballroom dancing too! I have to thank Mich for this because she suggested i do ballroom dancing for my first elective and i absolutely fell in love with it ie waltz, tango!

3. Movies, TV or any kind of entertainment that helps to perk up my sad, dull life =) And again, no tv, no life!

4. Westlife. Need i explain more? I mean if you don't know how insanely i am in love with these lads, then you don't know me at all. Seriously.

5. Novels. Only good books. I tend to keep only the good ones =)

6. Shopping. I'm a little divided on this. I tend to have a special certain day where i'd go crazy which is when the intense shopping craze sets in and that's when i really really need to buy a pair of shoes, clothes and all. LOL.

7. I'd add football as an extra one here. Not that i follow closely each and every match from the EPLs and Champion Leagues and what other leagues there are, but my favourite team has always been Manchester United. I give credit to my cousin bro who kept going "goal goal goal!" in my face ages ago and when he had David Beckham's face plastered all over his wall. And no, my cousin bro isn't gay you baboon. I like the other teams for their good-looking players but that's just about it. There's just something about ManU.

6 Books i read recently

no i'm not taking into account those freakin medical textbooks that i read. They're not books. They're encyclopedias. Which means, they're impossible.

1. 5 people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom

2. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

3. All 6 installments of Harry Potter (i never get tired of reading them over and over again)

4. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

5. 'Tis by Frank McCourt

6. LOTR by Tolkien

6 songs/albums

1. Definitely Westlife. I never get tired of all of the albums

2. The Corrs. Every album again. Love them so much! Wish they didn't have to get married and give birth to so many now that they have to retire from this biz. Tsk

3. The book of love by Peter Gabriel.

4. Jim Brickman. This man is a legend.

5. Come on get higher by Matt Nathanson.

6. World on fire by Sarah Mclachlan.

7. Jonas brothers!!!!

6 things i have learnt this past year

1. Women make up half of the population of the world.

3. Guys are idiots

4. Speak up for myself

5. Never lend anyone anything that's valuable to you unless you trust/know him/her

There And Back Again

It is depressing to think that i won't be going home until a month later, which is exactly on christmas eve. Even then, i've thought about not going back for christmas too until my crazy exams are over but then again, i suppose it's too much to ask of myself considering the fact that i've actually never been away from home for more than a month (i somehow have to go back once every three weeks or two, which means being away for month is a pretty damn good achievement now) and i just can't bear to spend christmas away from home and alone here in sad, depressing KL.

What's more disappointing is that i can't attend Jasmin's charity concert on Dec1 and i would really love to perform for her and be involve in such various ways! I miss being on centre-stage. I even missed attending Priscilla's charity concert and i missed all the ballet performances (Cyn's Paquita, Fame, Mamma Mia etc etc)! All because of the very fact that i am no longer in penang. Life isn't fair at all, is it? I mean these are things that i'm really passionate about and what the hell now.

I think i don't have a life right now. I will have one soon, but not yet. Not until this madness is over that i can fly, high hiGH HIGH up into the sky!! Ok i need to come down now. But you get the idea of how excited i am to get rid of this seriously. All i'm saying is my life right now revolves around going back and forth to uni, having lunch and dinner which is the only time my thoughts aren't with the piles of notes that fill up half my study table, and trying to get ahead of time just so i can finish studying within this utterly, unbelievably, crazily and insanely short period of time that has been allocated.

Life at home is so much better. I just wish that i never have to grow up. I have an effin' mock osce coming up this friday and nothing's going in my head and i need to make time to read my stupid csu notes and on top of it, do revision because this is the only time that i can do so.

MY GOD! My life is just so pathetic and i think i'm going berserk! Maybe i have schizophrenia.

I Hate Food

I mean right..that is so not in me to hate food. I bet it must be that disgusting IMU-8-dishes-on-4th-floor thing seriously. It made me puke last night. This morning, maybe. It's bad enough that they actually closed the whole canteen down for renovation purpose, leaving us with nothing to eat, but all they can do is to just serve eight, very non-appealing dishes on our 4th floor. It wasn't even eight, cos 2 of it have already finished. I took only two vegetables and some teeny weeny bit of rice and it cost me rm2.50. Sick lah KL people. Tsk. Woke up at about 5am-ish cos my stomach was feeling horrible and i was getting very nauseous. Tossed in my bed for like half an hour or so, then i decided maybe i should try puking. I waited in front of my toilet bowl (lol), nothing came out. Called mum up, took some chinese pills, went back to sleep but couldn't. Tossed and tossed, until finally...my area postrema signalled my motor cortex and it told me to get up and get running to the toilet bowl again. It finally came out! Gosh i hate vomiting cos of course it's such an unpleasant feeling and the after-effect of it. SIgh. But i feel much better =)

You know they say God work in miraculous ways that you can't even imagine? I say they're right. I'm going home tonight! =D Which means, i get special treatment at home, i get special home-cooked food (it may be just porridge but i still love it) and i get special everything lah! =D And thank god, i'm taking a flight back. Imagine if i were on a bus.

Summative and EOS5 is coming! GASP!!!!

November 14, 2008

Drained

I am just so tired this whole week through. Completely drained. Utterly exhausted. Speechless. So were all the previous weeks since sem5 started. Last week was more bearable because mum was here with me. I could just forget how ruthless life can be at times when she's around me. Good things always come to an end too soon i always say. And so it did.

It actually isn't about being really busy that i had to hustle here and there every second of the day. It was more like being mentally exhausted from all the stress of getting things done on time, trying to study, trying to do pbls, trying to prepare for mock osce, trying to read everything under the sun, trying to pay attention in class when sleep is so scarce and just trying to do everything right! I mean i'm trying real hard to stay focused and just study but all i can think of is post-exam, what mich, surin and i'd be doing and all the fun i'd have at home! Going ballet with Siao Wei, hanging out with Sooi, and spending so much time with mum n dad and watching tv for infinite hours! Now i can't even sit down quietly to read my notes that i have to have my laptop on and play any movie even if it means i've watched it a hundred times. I am scared. I am nervous about eos 5. But i'm just not doing anything at all! I just simply, cannot comprehend the fact that i have such limited time to read 10 systems and i'm still really slacking here. I'm stressing so hard that my hair keeps falling off (literally!) and i'm putting on so much of weight and my pimple keeps popping out after one another. Just cut me some slack seriously.

Why can't life be much easier?!

And i'm so caught up with everything that's moving on earth that i forgot about surin's birthday and i felt really bad. Sorry again surin! But you know why lah *grins* Big present awaits you =D

Photoshoot was ok. Something else happened and i wasn't happy about it at all. I will not allow anyone to push me around again. I will tell you that i don't like it when i don't like it. I'm just so tired of getting frustrated for not being able to tell people what i feel and think just because i hate upsetting them. One lesson learnt: stand up for yourself.

Sigh. Anyways, i'll upload some pics which i took with mum when she was here the other day. It's from my new camera =) And i really should get going now.

November 7, 2008

Photoshoot!

I know Mich and i really don't have a life. I mean seriously. It's just a stupid little photoshoot today for our convo mag. And here we both are contemplating so hard (very hard) about what to bring, how to pose with it and what to wear (this is only mich, cos i told her we'd be wearing our labcoats so who the hell cares about what's inside as long as you have something on lol). Ok, maybe it isn't a stupid little photoshoot since it's gonna be on our profile page (or wherever in the mag it's gonna be) and as sane a human as we all are, we'd wanna look good (at least, ok).

Guess what i'm bringing? My ballet shoe!!!! =D It will finally be in the spotlight! =) In fact, i even wanted to take my pic in LT2 with the grand piano as my object, but i doubt Jan Kee and the rest would gladly allow me to do so LOL what's so special about me lahh!

Anyways, mum is here! =DD Never been happier! Since Sunday night, leaving this Sunday evening too =( BOOHOOO!

High School Musical 3 - Again

Wait people. I know this is about HSM 3 again. Yes, AGAIN. But in actual fact, i came across the All Malaysian Blogger Website and they're giving away 10 free HSM3 soundtracks. And all i have to do is just this. So, those not interested, don't read on. But do read, AMB! =D

Answer question 1 : The character played by Zac Efron is so obviously TROY BOLTON (need to caps this up for easy view LOL). Besides, anyone who doesn't know this seriously needs to be shot down for being such an ass.

Then, i just need to paste this pic up =) Pretty darn easy.


Next, i obviously need to write anything that comes to my mind about High School Musical. Right. I don't suppose i need to fortify the fact that i am so totally in love with this movie. I mean i've already done the review like a few posts back.

When i think of HSM, i suppose the first thing or a few hundreds of things that comes through my mind is how terrificly choreographed their dance moves are and how easily the songs can capture one's heart. Kenny Ortega is the man (i know i've already said that before but he really is so good. he's phenomenal)! I swear i could sing to you all the songs from the very first HSM and believe it or not, i even learnt the steps for "we're all in this together". Honest to God. LOL Bet you didn't know i was that insane. But it is THAT good. Trust me.

The only thing i'm disappointed is that HSM 2 was a total flop. It was too much of a Gabriella and Troy moment that we didn't see much of the other casts and the songs were too forgettable.

Thank goodness, HSM 3 managed a come back. I wouldn't say it is as good as the first, but it definitely was better than the second and it was a great way to end the whole series. Songs again were great, none forgettable (i bet all girls were screaming, wishing they were Gabriella when she danced with Troy to "can i have this dance" on the rooftop. i know i did LOL). It is like a total reminisce of the first movie. And it feels a lot different watching in a big screen rather than on Disney Channel like the previous two. I suppose it shows how much of fame, popularity, demand and fans they've garnered throughout the entire period and this is exactly the one way to hit off the finale for High School Musical.

Oh, and did i mention how absurdly talented the whole cast is? I mean you only hate Sharpay because Ashley Tisdale plays her so well! And in fact, i think i really like Sharpay for her totally bitchy attitude. How can anyone not like Troy right? Each Wildcat are so unique that you can't help but to love all of them and so the credit goes to each of the cast. They've epitomize their own characters. I can't possibly imagine anyone doing a re-make of this and casting someone else in any of their shoes. NO WAY.

And finally, it is a total misconception that HSM is only for tweens or kids or babies or failed-to-grow-up-adults. I saw an old couple at my cinema =D I believe that there is always a kid in us no matter how old we are and noone, NOONE, should ever be tired of a musical. You think you're cool watching an all-grown-up movie? Puh-leaassee..

High School Musical rules!!! =)

And with every step together, we just keep on getting better...

A Little Of This And That

It's really weird that when i don't try to come up with a topic here, my ideas keep flooding my brain and compresses onto all my cranial nerves that i'd get all excited and crazy! But now that i'm here, i find it rather difficult to even start a line.

The holidays were of massive fun that i wished it never had to end. I dreaded the very thought of coming back to imu and being thrown back into reality. I mean i miss the company of my friends but the very thought of attending all those terrible lectures (which i usually end up clueless about) and the very fact that eos5 is fast approaching and i still haven't started a single revision on my previous systems yet and a whole lot of new lectures which i still have to catch up with and just great, i have a mock osce coming up soon. I guess i just find it hard to even be human.

Spent so much time at home just being me, just being around mum and dad. I don't think i'd ever want to leave that comfort zone of mine. Although i know it's sooner or later. That, and the fact that penang has so much of food to offer! There wasn't a single moment where i was hungry at all. Guess that explains the weight a little. LOL.

Dinner with my dad's old gang (Uncle Tony, Aunty Joyce, Aaron etc etc) was great as well. I think i really do miss their company. Not that i like being around aunties and uncles but then again, they're a fun bunch of oldies. LOL. My god, Aaron is huge now! Not huge huge, but it's sad to see him being taller than i am now. He used to be this tiny little boy and we'd both have so much fun together! (i'm not a pedophile) I meant fun as in when we were still kids. And he'd always ask why am i that short. Tsk! Gahh, i just missed those good old days. Wished we didn't have to grow up =(

Plus i watched High School Musical 3! *spoiler ahead*!!


Definitely one of my favourite scenes =)

I actually think it's really good. Of course it can't be better than the first. HSM 1 is like THE HSM movie you know. But this i guarantee, is so much better than the second. Definitely. And Kenny Ortega really deserves an applaud for all of this seriously. He's this old man (not really old, but old) who just has so much of this really great dance moves and is constantly bursting with so much of ideas! He choreographed Miley Cyrus's Best Of Both World Tour (not that i'm interested) and all of these HSM movies?! HE'S THE MAN! =D Mich and I couldn't agree more that Zac is hot being shirtless. LOL. You can't control the girl with the raging hormones, can u? =) And the songs in HSM 3 is so much better than the second. My favourite has to be Right Here, Right Now; Can I Have This Dance; Just Wanna Be With You and Scream. Sharpay and Ryan definitely sing better songs here and man do i love Sharpay more =) Chad *nodds head* is really good. Period. Go watch it if you haven't!




It's not easy to be me...

Baby Baby Baby!



Look at my beautiful girl..ain't she cute?! =D It's been 9 months. Like WOW. I love my Cheng Cheng!! =) The second pic however, does look like she's trying to show us the middle finger. LOL Wonder where that gene came from.. ;)

October 16, 2008

Emo

It started out pretty bad today. The base of the skull is an absolute pathetic subject. Don't remind me of how we dreaded each and every minute of this morning.

And then, Mich, Shelva, Teck Jian and i had this looooong conversation in the library cafe over relationships and girls and boys. In conclusion, i just think boys are idiots.

Then, the printer in the library is just effin annoying. And it partially ruined my already ruined day.

Then, Surin and i were discussing about Seremban. Imagine we'd be there in 4 months time. It's bad enough here in KL, now i have to be in that ulu place. Questions of where to say, what kind of house to stay, who to stay with, this and that...like how we both hope we'd get another not so difficult housemate.

Then, Mich and i had this conversation of how we're both not gonna be with each other soon. Like 3 more months being together and then she's gone. Who am i gonna have boy conversations with, annoying housemate conversations with..how am i gonna bitch about absolutely everything under sun when i used to do this so often with her. And like how we both have such similar thoughts, we say the same things at the same time, we roll our eyes at anything that annoys us and how the M n M would always be together. Sigh. I know i still have Surin and Shelva with me and don't get me wrong but i love them to bits too. It's just that our conversations are different. Like how today Mich and i were talking about getting married and all, how we're both so afraid of what the future holds for us and probably if i told Surin "surin! i think i might runaway the night before my wedding!" and she'd probably go "wtf???!!!!" LOL nolah, she doesn't use the F word, but you get the idea. It's only with Mich that we'd both tell each other our craziest thoughts. Seriously.

Sigh. And i know i'll miss the rest of the batch that'd be going overseas too. Maybe not all. But some.

Isn't scary when you have your whole life laid before you? I am.

I Can Still Recall

I am telling you this three songs are so good. You'd be crazy if you don't agree with me. Yes, i'm still not over with Mamma Mia just yet. That's only because it is definitely one movie that i'd watch again and again and not get tired of it ever, ever, ever! Because it's so MY type of movie you know. And i bet the musical is going to be one hell of a great show as well, if not more. Definitely. Sadly, i don't think i'd be able to make it. One, cos it's too expensive. Two, cos my idiotic finals are approaching. Absolutely hate the idea. But i think i'd settle listening to these three songs. =D




Meryl Streep is just phenomenal in this. Period. Although technology wasn't that advanced when Abba first recorded this, but i still think Meryl did a better job in this than Abba. With all due respect, i think Abba is one of the greatest band alive but Meryl nailed this. So much of feelings and emotion! Like i could just rip my heart out! I could cry all day listening to this. Seriously. A bit of a pitch problems here and there (Randy's style) but nonetheless, a great great great job indeed!



I always say a man who knows how to play the guitar can get any girl he wants. Yes, including me. Colin Firth is smokin hot in this! Damn man. Despite the sad fact that they had to turn him gay in the end (which i was pretty pissed at), i still think he's one of the hottest British actor there is. Pierce Brosnan sucks at singing but I have to say he looks pretty good in this too. Stellan, my octopus or whatever creature he is in Pirates of Caribbean, im sorry he's such a bad singer. Maybe i just can't get his face as the octopus man off my mind. LOL



My all time FAVOURITE Abba song. Period. This is the song that made me want to dance and shake my booty so badly in the theatres. No joke. =D

Mamma mia...Here I Go Again!

30 Minute Vacation

I was in Langkawi last night. I am absolutely telling the truth! The catch is, i only spent 30 minutes there. Guess what. My flight had to be diverted to Langkawi due to the unwelcoming weather here in Penang. I am absolutely pissed! VERY. The uncle next to me couldn't stop shaking his bald head. LOL We were hovering above the air for like 30 minutes while the pilot tried different angles to get into Penang in the stormy, thundery night. Just great. Was supposed to reach home by 8pm but I got home at 11pm. Don't expect me to be all sweet and nice about it. Grrr!

What a whirlwind of events since she got married. Hey, I don't mind having two nieces or one niece one nephew. I already have a niece. And I love her. She is SO SO SO adorable!

I guess my aunt can't get enough of being a grandma just yet. She said "haiya, now so young can give birth, good lah! The more the merrier. After that, just tie it lah!"

Damn funny.

Anyways, i can't wait to see her for chinese new year =)

Down Memory Lane

Music has been part of my life for as long as i can remember. I was only 4 when mum sent me to my first music class and i absolutely enjoyed it to bits. And back then, mum would always tell me that i sound like Bonnie Tyler (she sang total eclipse of the heart just in case you don't know) because my voice was really coarse LOL (of course it isn't so now you idiot. haven't you heard me talk?!)

She bought me my first piano then. I still remember that it was brown and Yamaha of course (my all-time favourite brand). In fact, i attended 2 music classes. One was Yamaha-based, the other was ABRSM. I like how the Yamaha music course would always encourage the freedom of expression in our music, how they'd train us in improvisation skills, transposition, hearing, sight reading and singing but because i'm not a perfect pitch person, my teacher Jasmin could never stop yelling at me LOL And how we'd always get to perform on stages for numerous, various occassions! AB on the other hand, it's good in honing one's playing skills. I hate the scales! All the gruelling practices and finger-aching sessions..oh those insufferable moments!

Then i remember my very first Electone Festival. None, including ourselves, in our wildest dreams, would ever think that we could actually make it. And we did. We did!

We called ourselves CML then cause we were a bunch of idiots who couldn't come up with a better name for our group, other than putting our intials together. Yeah, shoot us.

Then, came Senzation. We didn't win (damn pissed off with all the internal politics) but it was another one of those really great times i'd remember forever. Somebody once said "it isn't about what you get at the end, but it's the journey that you take to get there which is all that really matters".

Finally, my last group Le Fort Vague. Maybe it was our choice of song this time. Sigh. Then again, one can never get enough of music in their life. Nonetheless, i love and miss every single bit of it. From all the practices, to perfecting every part of the piece, to making sure all is well, to dressing up, to making Yap look non-sluggish LOL (that guy has no sense of fashion).

If i had photoshop or something, i would've removed the girl in green. Hate her. We all do. Pink panther.

My point is, I seem to have forgotten how much music means to me and that insane passion that i used to have everytime i played my piano. I seem to be so caught up with everything else like school work, to catching up with my latest drama. And because i'm now away from home, it only means that i have to for go my music lessons and even ballet, the two things that i really love doing. It also means less time for practice, in fact no time at all. Mum bought me a Clavi in KL and of course, i'm absolutely grateful and glad and happy and ecstatic and all nuts about it. The thing is everytime i play, i just feel that sudden emptiness within, like there's something missing. I didn't know what that was until i read what huifang said. That we're only playing the piano because we were afraid we'd forget how to play them. We'd forget how to run our fingers up and down the keyboard, we'd forget what C major sounds like, we'd forget how to do an arpeggios, we'd forget how to sight read, we'd forget how to do a thrill, we'd forget what pianoforte is and we'd even forget how a piano would sound. It is sad, but true. I'm merely playing it for the sake of it. There's no feelings in it, there's no purpose in it, and it lacks that will to improve on each piece. I guess now i know what that missing piece is. Don't get me wrong. I still love my black piano a lot. And i love all the pieces of score sheets that i have.

Reading huifang's blog and i saw that picture of us on the keyboards at EF (although it was a hideous pic of me) and watching Camp Rock made me realize how much i miss it and how much it means to me. It was my best friend throughout my early years and it still is now. Just that maybe i misplaced this best friend of mine at the corner of my cupboard but i found it now =)

And as for ballet, i'm still searching for the answer to my question. Maybe it was never meant to happen. Maybe it wasn't my calling no matter how much i loved it. I still do.

Miss wearing my pointe shoe, my soft pointes, my leotard, and everything in between. The only thing i wouldn't miss is doing pirouettes. Hate it.

Time and tide waits for no man. Time traveling seems impossible. Maybe soon. If only someone had invented a time machine. Wouldn't it be great for all of us?

Cos You Had A Bad Day

Today's a really bad day. I didn't like it AT ALL.

Wish tomorrow would be a better one.

Btw, "Incredible Hulk" is really good. Amazingly good. But I wished Eric Bana had continued playing Bruce Banner. More masculine. Edward Norton's a bit...skinny? LOL

Mamma Mia Camp Rock!


Ok I am planning to stop blabbing about Camp Rock and The Jonas Brothers after this post. I promise.

Watched it last night! Whooohooo =D A quick review. *Spoiler Ahead*

I thought the plot could've been a little bit better. I felt some of the scenes didn't really connect. Like how Tess found out that Mitchie is the girl Shane's looking for and how she stole her song book and the audience would naturally think that Tess would be doing the song "This Is Me" for Final Jam, stealing Mitchie's limelight. But it didn't happen so. And then, there were some other missing pieces here and there.

Overall, it was ok. Demi Lovato is such a breath of fre
sh air. She just has this very infectious smile. A big, wide smile =) And if it wasn't for the fact that the JBs and Demi are the main cast, I think I would seriously consider watching it at all. Stop. You don't even have to ask if Joe is hot. YES HE IS.

In fact, I think HSM set the benchmark for all the Disney Channel Original Movies. It is THE epitome, you know. Like how I remember all the songs from HSM cos they're so good. Everyone of it. HSM 2 should have a switch in title, to like "Troy and Gabriella's Moment" or something. Seriously. I like "Gotta Find You", "This Is Me", "Here I Am" and "Play My Music" in Camp Rock =D cos they were the only ones that sounded good anyway. LOL


I watched Mamma Mia too! Loved it loved it loved it ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Meryl Streep can really sing. Amanda Seyfried is so gorgeous. Julie Walters is such fun to watch. Colin Firth is so freakin' hot with his guitar. Pierce Brosnan CANNOT sing. Stellan Skarsgard is bad (I dont know why but he reminds me of the octopus guy in Pirates of the Caribbean).

It is good. So good. Period. Watch it yourself. I'm tired of typing and figuring the words to describing how much I loved it.

September 29, 2008

Camp Rock!

Like oh my god. I bought the dvd already! Gasp! =D

September 26, 2008

Jonas Frenziieee!!

I missed Camp Rock on Disney Channel. I cannot believe it. Why don't I have an astro in KL?! And I just can't find the right place to download it. GRrr!

"When You Look Me In The Eye", in my opinion, is currently the best song from the Jonas Brothers. I didn't quite understand the whole JB frenzy that hit the world since their debut single. I think they're really talented, they write really good songs and that they're really fashion forward but I just wasn't so into them yet. Maybe I was looking, but I wasn't seeing, you know?

But I have to tell you this. Mich and I so totally agree that Nick Jonas is hot. Like REALLY HOT. There's just something about him. And then, if you've catched a glimpse or seen Joe Jonas in Camp Rock, the scene with Demi Lovato "I Gotta Find You", you have to be crazy if you don't think Joe is drop dead gorgeous. I mean seriously. Plus, that song - it is just amazing. I could just listen to it over and over again on my player, on my mp3. Again and again. It REALLY is that good. And it just makes me wanna watch Camp Rock so badly! =(

Joe Jonas



Nick Jonas



Yeah, I'd like to have a guy that plays the guitar too. Sigh.



Jonas Brothers rock! =D

A crush and a Love Story


Verse 1

I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time,
deep inside it was a rush, what a rush,
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same away about me,
it’s just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth, all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Verse 2

Has it ever cross your mind when we’re hangin’, spending time girl,
are we just friends, is there more, is there more,
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take, cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
last forever, forever

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Bridge

Why do I keep running from the truth, all I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know

Chorus

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love, is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you, are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away


This song is absurdly infectious!



We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"


And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"


So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.

So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"

But you were everything to me;
I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"


And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;

This love is difficult, but it's real.

Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh. I got tired of waiting, Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town,


And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;

It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...

Too Hot To Be True!

I swear I could've just stripped my clothes off yesterday if it weren't because of the fact that we were in a hospital. Seriously. Hospital Seremban (HTJ) is just as hot as a baking oven! We were just literally drenched from head to toe! The oh-so-thick labcoat with its long stupid sleeves didn't help at all. Imagine standing right under the sun with its scorching rays in an open field. Yeah you get the idea. How do the doctors, patients, nurses and students live with THAT honestly.

Anyways, all we did there was clerk the orthopedic patients, present it to the doctor (in our case, we had Mr.Chan) and get ourselves completely and utterly exhausted after all of it. And since we had such limited time to prepare our case (ok, maybe our history taking skills still suck), Mr Chan commented on a few things lah. A bit strict, but nonetheless, he's nice.

A little drama at the end to add some spice LOL (thanks to the heat stroke idiot). Met Cheng Ling there =) Didn't meet Fen =( BOOhooo! Saw some really cute docs (HAHA afterall, that was what me and Surin were looking forward to for this trip lol). Can never really get what Cho said to me out of my damn skull. He said "you know my senior said, if medic girls don't get a guy by the 4th or 5th year, then gone lah". ..........................................Ok, a bit of pressure there. But I'm gonna shake it off. =D LOL

Came back completely lifeless. Had to read my stupid CSU. It turned out to be quite fun actually today. No stress. Dr. Jac, what do you expect? =)

Last week's notes and this week's are piling up. Time never flew this fast before. And I've never been so short of time in my entire 4 sems here. It just had to be my final sem, with a final exam at the end of it. GREAT.

September 16, 2008

Still waiting..

It's the 16th of September already. To be precise, it's almost the end of 16th September now. LOL. Nothing has happened. Or will it?

It seems people are pretty excited over this whole transition thing. The first thing we spoke about this morning in PBL was "wahh..it's today lehh..don't know got or not" LOL

Joon Heng came in and his first word was "reformasi!"

Kar asked me "so how? scared or not?"

Yilin said "wahh if got riot then they send us all home. good lor! can go home" LOL

Anyways, I think I'd like to think that that day, reformasi day will come. Just not yet. Soon.

We're all waiting.

The Return of The Boybands

Whoever said boybands are history? Whoever said boybands are just...typically boybands, guys with killer looks who does cheesy songs? What a huge misconception that is.

Let's see. The Beatles were one of the biggest hit back when I hadn't exist. I'd have to say John Lennon is more of a talent that Paul McCartney is. Sorry dude. Or maybe, I'm just too tired of the whole drama between McCartney and his stupid wife (you-know-who). Ex-wife, to be exact. Their songs surpass all age, all barriers and they're a joy to listen to. "Imagine" and "Let It Be". Definitely my all-time Beatles favourite =)



And then, here comes Take That. Never really a big fan of them. Gary Barlow was the only one worth watching anyways. Robbie Williams...err no comments. Then, the ghastly news of them breaking up, with Robbie leaving. Boy, were the girls in tears. I was only less than 10 years of age? What could I have done? My hormones weren't at a rise yet! LOL However, they did have some pretty good songs to boot as well. "Back For Good" was definitely my kind of hit. Good job to Robbie Williams though. Leaving the group proved to be a massive change in his life. =D

The age of boybands didn't just stop there. There were more. More, more and more that I couldn't possibly list them all here. (Spice Girls is a girl band lah, you idiot). LOL

OOOhhh..Boyzone. Definitely one of my favourites back in the 90's. The news of Stephen being gay was terrible. However, it was Ronan Keating that we were all interested in. In fact, he and Stephen were the only ones singing. And after Stephen became infamous with his gay news, Ronan seems to be the leading frontman. Teehee! I really liked "No Matter What" and "Love Me For a Reason" although it wasn't originally sung by them but the fact that I heard it first from them made all the difference =) Again, the frontman had to fly solo. He did it well I must say. But here they are, back with a blast again! With "Love You Anyway" (found this from papa) HEe!



Here's another boyband I ain't that familiar with. New Kids On The Block. Heard of them back when I was a toddler. Never heard their old songs at all. Even if I did, I wouldn't know anyways. Joey McIntyre went solo and delivered "Stay The Same" and that was all that was ever worth hearing from him. At least, to me. I guess people never get tired of come-back-boybands. So they released their new single "Summertime". Not exactly all hyped up about that song lah. It's just OKKK...Plus none of them appeal to me. Sadly.

This next group, all famous, all cool and all well-known. Need I say more. Backstreet Boys. Cat's a huge fan of them. I'm not. I always thought they were a threat and rival to my all time favourite boyband which I'd definitely be discussing later here. If you know me well enough, you'd know what I'm referring to right away. This whole frenzy over BSB, I never really understood it. Nick Carter was the only cute one. But ever since he dated Britney, blah, all down the drain. Plus, he's such a spoilt rich kid. Go watch "The Carters" or "The Carter's house" or whatever that was aired on E! some time ago. I couldn't be bothered anyways. Brian Litrell was the only person to look up to really. But I have to say, a lot of their songs are really good.

"I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me"
"Everybody yeah...yeahhhhhh...Rock your body yeah..YEahhh" LOL

And of course, there's a whole list of their newest songs. And since I'm not a huge fan, I'll leave it to rest here. Hee!

Ahhh..my all-time favourite. The love of my life. The king of my heart. The MEN of my dreams. With an autobiography to be proud of. My true inspiration. WESTLIFE. I can never, ever, ever, forget them. NEVER. From Shane, to Kian, Nicky, Bryan and Mark, I love them all. Despite being gay, I still love you Mark. I remember all their full names (trust me, they're LONG), I remember their birth dates. I remember which city they come from. I remember how it all happened. Phew. I fell in love with them almost instantly the first time I heard "Swear It Again" and there were only good things to come after that. I don't care if they did covers. I don't care that people think their version of the covers sound bad. I don't care if "You Raise Me Up" can never beat Josh Groban's. I don't care if people think that Shane and Mark are the only two who can sing well because I think that Bryan, Kian and Nicky they're all unique in their own way. I cried when Bryan left. I did. But hey, his new song is pretty good. Go check it out, "Like Only a Woman Can".

After so much of covers, here they are once again. Back, and better than ever before. With a new album, much anticipated one that is. "Home". All of it my favourite. Definitely. I grew up with them. I got through some of my darkest days with them. They've been such an inspiration to me whenever I needed strength. 10 years with Westlife. That's a long time. But there's definitely a lot more to come. Here's "Something Right", loved it to bits. I hope you enjoy them as I much as I do.





Tell me that isn't good and I'd kick your ass. By the way, this post is inspired by papa, Cmei, after reading her Boyzone post LOL. Now that's a huge Ronan and Boyzone fan, people! =D Who says boybands are lousy? You got it all wrong, hun.

WESTLIFE RULES!

Happy Mooncake Festival!

Happy mooncake festival everyone!

My first "pat yuet sap mm" (sorry for the bad pinyin) away from home. Sigh. Plus, today's my uncle's wedding day. BOOhooo..No ang paus for me. No goodie food for me too. Anyways, I suppose my plan, engineered by Sooi (LOL) might just work out tonight. =)

Ever wondered what the Mid-Autumn Festival was all about? Read it only if you're extremely bored to death. Hee..I find it pretty interesting too. You know, the typical Chinese myths and legends. Aha =D

Moon-walking Goddess

A popular Chinese myth related to the Mooncake Festival involves the immortal Chang Er who lives on the moon. She was very beautiful and people celebrate her beauty during the mooncake festival, when the moon is at its brightest and roundest - on the 15th of eight lunar month.

Once upon a time in China, ten suns appeared in the sky and this was causing much grief to the people. Crops were withering, rivers were drying up and people were dying from the heat. This catastrophe forced the emperor to summon Hou Yi, a mythological archer to shoot down the suns in return for an immortal elixir. He wanted to shoot down all the suns but his wife, Chang Er begged him to leave one up in the sky for warmth and light. As Hou Yi was about to go against his wife's wishes, his wife grabbed the immortal elixir and drank it as a form of protest immediately after, Chang Er began floating higher and higher until she reached the moon and stayed there.

Moonlit Uprising

In the 14th century, the Han Chinese overthrew the Mongols in a carefully planned uprising. The success of this uprising lies in these little mooncakes. Small pastries with a secret message outlining the plan was hidden inside the pastries and distributed. Lantern wielding rebels distributed the pastries at night in a well disguised wedding celebration. As outlined in the secret message, the Han Chinese executed a surprise attack on the Mongols.

The full moon on the Mid Autumn Festival shone brightly on the pathways to guide the rebels through the maze of the palace. Since then, mooncakes and lanterns are used each year to honor the new dynasty and the auspiscious moon.

Hee..I love mooncakes. A lot. But dang, they're pretty expensive now. But oh! they come in such a variety of flavours these days and shapes too! I remember Nicole gave me a jelly mooncake last year made by Dave's mum. Loved it to bits =) I do like the old flavours too though. Very evergreen. LOL
