Some more news for all you music junkies :- Simple Plan , you either love them or hate them . Why hate them I don't know but I like their music a lot ! Their 5th final single after the massive Welcome To My Life , Shut Up , Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me) & Crazy , will be titled Perfect World . A bit case of F.Y.I , 1 of the songs from their Still Not Getting Any.. CD called Me Against The World was used in the trailer of last year's mtv asia awards & yes Me Against The World's a great song & they should have considered that to be released !- The Rasmus . Claire loves them to death , especially frontman Lauri haha ;p aside from Johnny Deep that's . Their 3rd single's confirmed to be Shot , after the release of No Fear & Sail Away , both taken from their 6th studio album Hide From The Sun- Nickelback , 1 of my fave rock bands at the moment . After the release of Photograph & Far Away , power98 has released their 3rd single this week titled Savin Me , taken from their critically acclaimed CD All The Right Reasons.- Hard Fi's next single that was debuted & released in the UK top 40 chart not long ago , is titled Better Do Better .

So yesterday I wrote down saying that I would not let Tracie's death affect me anymore from today onwards & so far so good I'm abiding to my word.After gymming in the late morning/early afternoon , I got a call from my aunt asking me whether I want to go down to Orchard to meet her & just go shopping . Knowing the fact that I don't wanna rot at home , I thought why not ? No harm done anyway & somemore she wouldn't be coming back again til next year ..& then eventually I landed up at Tangs & she wanted to buy new sandals but to no avail cos it's either they don't have it in her size or in her taste so no such luck but it doesn't mean she didn't bought anything . In fact she bought some clothes for me hehOoh .. where I do start ? She got for me a really nice 2 piece purple top that's quite lacy & stringy & it was selling for 1/2 the price so it was a real steal ! Best of all , I love it & it looked really good on me when I tried in the fitting room .I can wear that as formal or semi casual so spanking & oh she also bought me a black bra which doubles up as strapless *laughing* . I tell you , I never own a black bra in my entire life before so this's kinda erm exciting lol but I wouldn't be wearing it everyday unfortunately . Only on certain outfits that's ha!After which , we headed to Wisma to have a quick bite on some delicious dim sum's at this restaurant in which I forgot the name but the stuff they served was pretty swell & I so oh dig the pork chops !As the both of us were eating , we were talking away over some issues & there were some life lessons I learnt during the conversation . I wouldn't say what we talked about cos it's pretty personal but I'm just thankful she managed to talk some sense into me eariler cos I always listen to her .Er actually most of the time haha cos I'm a bit of a rebel myself but other than that , I generally listen to people even though at times I can behave like a spoilt pampered brat.But now , I'm feeling so much better & before penning this down , I saw Anita whom's Tracie's mum , her post in ggates & blessed her , for being a great mother to Tracie . Anita , you're an inspiration & so's your wonderful daughter .
++++++++
I been listening to lots of music yesterday to get over my greving for Tracie's death . The people in ggates has been really sweet , they asked people to post things up like their best/funniest moments with her , asked people to donate/send flowers in memory of Tracie & also type in messages to be sent to Tracie's family . For once , I respect them , the same people who almost drove me mad like iterally . I didn't cry or anything the past few days , I got no tears to cry out & when I do cry , I will look really ugly & I'm sure Tracie wouldn't want to see me in this state . My heart did & it was bleeding like crap but I'm sure from today onwards , I will be ok . The gazillon music I listened to over the past few days also helped me a LOT so yeah I have to move on with my life but Tracie's memories will forever be planted inside my mind.I haven't really thought of planning on what to do today other than making my way to my maternal grandma's house to see my aunt & then going out for dinner at the nearby coffeeshop . It sure beats eating packets for a reason ..& I found out that Pussycat Dolls's 4th single after Don't Cha , Stickwitu & current single Beep that feats Will.I.Am of The Black Eyed Peas will be a remix of Buttons that feats Snoop Dogg . That's something I gotta hear man !
I love Buttons , it's such a sexy number but I never heard the remix of it which I think it will be something good . After all , I like PCD's music which's really sensual & etc.
++++++++
I saw Fort Minor's brand new video & song yesterday which's titled Where'd You Go that features the vocals of newcomer Holly Brook .When I 1st heard the song , I was blown away due to the lyrics & not to mention Holly's distinctive voice . I finally got the chance to see how she really looks like in the video & she's not bad looking but not to mention I like the melodies of it too.I remembered Mike Shinoda said that other than Kenji , Where'd You Go's the other song he would not scrap from the album The Rising Tied & when he 1st played the song to his wife , she cried !I'm glad that in ggates , Debbie posted in a thread that she wants everyone to type in messages so that she can put all of them into a card for Tracie's family . I posted it eariler as this's really the only way I can 'contact' her seeing that it's impossible to attend her funeral as she was born in UKBut I suppose time will eventually help me & now that I'm on 'unofficial holidays' , that's a good excuse for me to use this period of time to get over her sudden death.Yesterday my friend emailed me & I'm extremely thankful & appericate his concern big time. He's having some problems at home but I'm sure he will be ok & that I promised him I wouldn't get sunk into depression again cos of Tracie & that I'm sure Tracie wherever she's now , wouldn't want me to be so upset of her leaving Earth & that I will see her again sooner or later.
++++++++
I didn't slept well for the whole night , I was thinking about Tracie in my dreams & when I went into ggates this morning , so many people left condolences messages on the thread that Jill posted.I believe the person that will be hit the most & badly will be her parents & husband & I was reading the thread & everyone was really upset & devasated that such a thing happened to Tracie even though everyone know her condition since she joined ggates almost 3 years ago .It's tough & definitely terrible when a loved one just slipped away just like that . From young , I never know what that means at all til only recently.I remembered when I was really young , I was a horror in primary school & every student's & teacher's nightmare . It was only til when I was 11 , I lost my Thai maid due to some complications in her lungs .I didn't cried or anything ,I had no tears to shed , I just stood by at 1 corner , just spacing out for days , can't accepting the fact that she's gone just like that ever since she took care of me since birth . Eventually when I returned back to school in Pri 6 , I became a totally changed person , becaming withdrawn & sometimes too quiet.Everyone in school was puzzled & not to mention stunned on how come this ex wildchild suddenly became a mousy girl . Eventually 1 of my teachers pulled me at 1 side of the classroom , asking what the hell happened to me. That really shook me up ..It wasn't til 2 years ago the same thing happened again . I lost my 2nd paternal aunt & no 1 has foreseen that she would slipped away so soon & that she didn't had any health problems etc.The one who was badly hit the most was my paternal grandma , I remembered my mum telling me that she fainted when she saw my aunt in the hospital's morgue . I didn't went there but I did went to her wake 1 week later to pay my last respects to her.I always had fond memories of her & I know that she doted on Bao Sui like her own & so do I even though I kept on calling my aunt short cos she was well , petite .Needless to say after that incident , everything in the family changed . Whenever special occasions are organised , it's always done at home instead of the whole family going out for dinners . The 1st few months after her death were the worst , everyone was still greving over her but I guess time really does heal wounds & now everything's pretty much ok , it's just only when certain issues pop by , then it's hard .& last Jan , 3 days before my 18th birthday , I lost my family uncle & mind you it was the worst birthday I ever had & to make things even terrible , I couldn't go to pay my last respects to him . So when everyone went to pay their respects to him , I was all alone at home , just moping around like nobody's business.The funny thing was when both incidents happened , I didn't cried & stuff . It was only a few months later , I iterally broke down & I guess both their death's didn't sink into me until then.I'm glad that everything's over for Tracie & that she wouldn't be suffering anymore on Earth but like what I said , she will be sorely missed from everyone in ggates & not to mention me.

I received a devasting piece of news eariler when I was on ggates .Matilda (Jill's her real name ) posted on S54 that Sweetie Pie (Tracie) has passed away yesterday :( . Needless to say , I was shocked & extremely upset bcos' Tracie was 1 of the many friends I made during my almost 3 years ++ stint when I'm in ggates .Tracie all along since birth , was striken down with lung problems , I'm not sure what kind but the condition affected her for a very long time & if I'm correct she was only 33 when she died yesterday in hospital .I think her family including Pepper (Anita, her mom) & her husband are utterly upset over her death . Well at least she wouldn't be suffering anymore & that she's in heaven now.I remembered Tracie as a very happy & bubbly lady despite her condition & I was so happy for her when she & her mom finally got the chance to meet Gareth a few years ago . Oh man , this's really depressing to pen about such issues & no doubt it will take a while for me to get over this . It took me some time getting over the deaths of my 2 relatives too but this's no exception .In memory of Tracie , I like to dedicate Avril's Slipped Away to her & Avril wrote this song & dedicate it to her late grandfather who passed away when she was on tour. Rest in peace , Tracie . Wherever you're now , I will always remember you ,friend.Avril - Slipped Away
Na na na na na na na
I miss you, Miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me, I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away, was the day
I found it won't be the same
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you, goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again, I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me, Cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away, was the day
I found it won't be the same
Oh, I've had my wake up, won't you wake up?
I keep askin' why. and I can't take it, it wasn't fake it
it happened you passed by
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere you're not coming back.
The day you slipped away, was the day
I found it won't be the same
No, the day you slipped away, was the day
I found it won't be the same
Oh...na na na na na na na
I miss you
OH YEAH unofficial holidays are IN & booyah I wouldn't be going back to school anytime now .. for lessons etc that's . I still have to go back 2 more times in the days to come but who cares man , now it's time to relax like nuts woo hoo :)I took my final ITE test/exam this morning & honestly I don't care how much I will get , I'm just glad that's over & done with & right now , I can finally relax & take a well deserved break . I been so exhausted mentally,emotionally & now physically the past few weeks so it's a big sigh of relief if you ask me .That's the problem , when your schedule's packed like sardines , you want to find time to do things that you like but you can't but if you're free & you have loads of time in your hands suddenly , you got nothing to do at all . Damn that's what I'm facing right now & you thought that when I'm on unofficial holidays , I will be spared from problems . No such luck & a bit case of F.Y.I , I will be graduating in April but cos of the fact that I don't have to sit for any final exams , I already graduated .. unofficially that's :)
++++++++
I found 2 kinds of lurve yesterday . Well sorta..1stly , STRAWBERRIES . My aunt who just got back home from Korea bought home a few packs of them & my family was only given 1 pack but hey better than nothing & damn damn damn , they're bloody good ! Not too sweet & not too sour , I like ! I already polished 3 big ones yesterday night & they're FABOO , there're still some left in the fridge so maybe I might polish the rest heh . The rest of my family also like them & they might be gone in a flash anytime soon !2ndly , this in a way concern Suzy with McFly . As you all know or don't know , McFly will be appearing in an upcoming movie as erm themselves with Lindsay Lohan as the lead called Just My Luck & I dig up a bit more info on the movie & guess what ?CHRIS PINE will be in it as well !!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO , I was screaming like crazy when I found out yesterday afternoon & AHHHHHH all the more I should go & watch it when it open in cinemas later on this year hahaha& oh , F.Y.I , Chris Pine acted in The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement & previously I was gushing over & about him like nobody's business that's why !!!!!!! & I told Angeline about this & she gave me a -_- look & that she knew Chris was going to be on it a long time ago & that news's outdated . But who cares man ;)I know that Angeline & Suzy will be watching it for sure , only for McFly that's lol
++++++++
UGH ... I never thought I say this but I was almost frozen to death last night when I was sleeping & I mean it !It was so frickin cool in the wee hours of the night & it was terrible , I got up at almost close to 3am ++ just to close my bedroom windows & turn off my fan , not the aircon which has been spoilt for a while & omg , whatever happened eariler was just plain scary , it was so cold even though I was wearing my PJ's whenever I sleep :SEven the clown blanket that I use didn't helped much at all & I thought sleeping was supposed to be great but noooo that wasn't the case & this has been going on for the past few days already , damnitMaybe later on tonight before I go to sleep , I better close my bedroom windows , I don't want to participate take 2 in this scene again !Anyhoo , I'm already 19 & this might gonna sound very sad but I never attend all those fanciful parties & somemore those that involve lots of drinking . I can't drink to save my life & it's very very bad ! Then again it might be a good thing cos to buy booze in here is very expensive so in a way saves me $ lolI never like going & doing such things & I will be the last person in which you catch me hanging out in pubs/clubs/discos cos I hate such sleazy places . I only go to such places provided an event I'm interested in is taking place but other than that , nope , I don't drink/smoke & stuff . I sound too goody goody right ? Actually I'm not ! I love doing stuff that're very au contraire to my image . Like for starters , I love going to arcades kicking butt in Street Fighters & I believe & interested in paranormal stuff like ghosts etcAt least I know that I'm not very wayang but at the end of the day , I'm just a normal girl or am I ?
++++++++
Happy 19th Birthday Dila !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow oh wow you're officially 19 already , nice !! & sorry , I wanted to throw in a pressie in addition to the card I sent you but alas that didn't materialise but I promise to give you something next year . The card I sent to you , it's nothing much but I do hope that you will take this chance to do something good for yourself cos it's only you yourself that can make a difference in your life in the months to come . So chin up & have an awesome spanking celebration today , which I know you will get it ! *jokes So where're the water bombs that I packed last year ? Too bad we have no classes today or else you will be sabo by me ,haha only kidding !Not only today's my friend's birthday , it's also when my aunt from Korea returned back home . I wanted to go to the airport yesterday to welcome her back but her flight was at night so that didn't happened & this time when she's back , I wanna spend some serious time with her .I didn't managed to do that when she was back last Dec due to my crazy pile of homework but I'm sure this time it will be ok & the next time she would be coming back again will be end of the year , boo hoo& also starting this week til the 3rd week of March , it's time for me to step up the weight machine level in the gym . I was lifting 30 (not sure the unit) worth of weights for my upper & lower body on different days whenever I'm in the gym for the past few weeks & now it's time to step it up to 40 , including the weight of the dumb bells . Hopefully my body wouldn't be jack ass sore after that !Sometimes after every gymming session I do ( which I try to do 6 times a week) , it was brutal man . Sometimes I come home feeling bloody exhausted even though I only do 1 hour a day . I know some people who're so super frickin fit & can squeeze in something like what 3-4 hours a day of exercise .That's crazy man , I will drop dead if that's the case & yes it's terrible , here I'm already whining that 1 hour a day of exercise can sometimes kill me but how about those people who clog in 3- hours a day of exercise ?
++++++++
haha I was supposed to sleep at around 10pm ++ yesterday night but yup you guessed it , I ended up sleeping close to 1am ++ instead !! Why you ask ?It's all mtvasia's fault lol , they were showing Room Raiders Florida & I must admit , I never watched a single episode of Room Raiders at all even though they're starting to show a brand new season aka season 5 on mtv & boy I was bloody hooked into it as they were showing 3 episodes of it yesterday night all at 1 shot !That got me thinking , can you really judge a person's personality from his/her bedrooms alone? For me , I don't think so even though well at times you might nail the sucker but personally , nah I rather meet the person face 2 face before stepping into his/her bedrooms !I know I'm that old fashioned & by tonight , it will be time for me to step down as mistress of the house & return that title back to my parents !
++++++++
I'm escatic , Simple Plan will release 1 more song from their Still Not Getting Any... CD which's Perfect World , after Welcome To My Life , Shut Up , Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me) & Crazy !Sadie , being a huge SP fan , sent me Perfect World yesterday & it's awesome , I like it a lot ! It's 1 of the better ones that SP has released so far in my opinion that's !& $ wise , my progress in saving has been so far so good , I don't wanna say how much I save so far though , I just let you all guess but I know in due time , I will get there !At the moment , things at home are going fine at least not like the 1st time when the house was flooded with calls aplenty , especially from my paternal side ! & can you believe it , they already started calling the house as early as the day before my parents about to leave !Alamak , this's crazy talk if you ask me ! The 3 of us are no tweenies even though we're not girls & not yet women & I know they're just concerned about our safety but even in this kinda situation , it's really ridiculous & they're over reacting which's something I can't understand at all , well at times that's .Moan I'm feeling poorly today ! My mum's 2nd older sis & her friend brought the 3 of us out yesterday for dinner . We ended up at Holland Village & damn , the place was spanking , so many different kinds of people & the atmosphere there was just faboo !I ordered lasagne at the restaurant which was something I haven't had in ages & yup you guess it , after eating it , I started to feel quite sick & it doesn't help that eariler before that , I made myself a huge bowl of jell-o chocolate fudge flavor pudding & I was sick to the gut literally !& then when I got back home , I even made myself diet cocoa which tasted like crap . I thought something was wrong with me but I made it again this morning which again tasted the same . Yeesh , at least I know I'm not gonna buy that brand of cocoa & not to mention jell-o again !I rather make sugar free chocolate moose & cocoa from scratch than to buy the ready made ones which tasted really weird to me . Maybe it's just me & my tastebuds lah but oh well.
++++++++
FINALLY today's fri & in that I don't need to go back to school which I have been doing for the past 2 fri's & also my parents are away which put me as the mistress of the house once again . Woo sometimes it pays to be the eldest you know hahaI spent my hours in the morning sorting out the mountain of music files in my mp3player . I think now I already have close to 1100 files :O . Yeah it's crazy but what I can say ? Without music , my life will be very very boring & I consider it as my best friend ever to have !I'm going to graduate in April but due to the fact that I don't have any final exams to sit for in March (which I deemed the exams month in ITE ) , so techincally I finish in March which's great man ! I'm so looking forward to my holidays in which I will catch up with lots of R&R which's something I badly need now if you ask me !& if I'm correct , I will be attending my graduation ceremony in July . Woah , scary..& yesterday Mr Bernard told me that last year , only 1 girl in the Business IT cohort whom was the top student & scored 4.0 in her GPA (aka everything all straight A's ) managed to get into 1 of the business courses in Ngee Ann :O . omg that's very terrible if you ask me ! Which means the business courses in Ngee Ann are highly sought for after all . Meh , to think I considered applying for business courses in poly . On 2nd thoughts , forget it lah & here I come Real Estate Business lol
++++++++
I'm pretty excited cos tomorrow til Sun night , my parents will be going away & YES you know what this means , home alone again for me .. with the other 2 ! But still awesome , gonna look forward to some freedom !On 1 hand , I look forward to that , the other hand I dread it cos my relatives will be calling the house like mad as if I'm a tweenie or something *roll eyes . The 1st time my parents left the 3 of us at home , it was terrible to the extent that I wanted to plug out the telephone lines ! Thank god each of us don't have a handphone or else it will be worst !& yeah you guessed it , I never really did anything yesterday . I did tried to study but FAILED big time but like what Ashlee Simpson said 'there're moments when you don't want to get out of bed but you have to find your inner strength ' . So it means whether I like studying or not , I have to start at somewhere sooner or later ...Moan , today's the day when Franz Ferdinand be playing in S'pore for the very 1st time ! When I 1st found out that they're heading their way to S'pore , I was shocked cos who would have expected such a fine rock band like themselves to ever stop by my tiny little island country ? There was an article on Franz Ferdinand in today's papers & 94% of their concert gig tickets been sold already . Well done & yup I'm not going for it cos I'm dead broke boo hoo , at most I just listen to their songs on my mp3player as I love their music , stuff that can make me dance & rock out at the same time !
++++++++
Finally V-Day's over & looks like it will be another 365 or 364 days for that matter before that dreaded over rated like crap day will arrive at anyone's doorsteps now so phew , all you singletons out there can heave a huge sigh of relief now . 1st time in history in that the house's so damn quiet today ! Both the middle & youngest are stuck in the same CCA softball training which will take place later on so it's good for me in that finally there's some peace & quiet that I can enjoy at the moment .I always said that I'm the laziest person around & you can count on it even though you might said that I'm proscinating but I'm not ! Like for instance , my final CA test for International Trading will take place next Thurs & yup you guess it , I haven't started revising on anything yet !Well if you count skimming & reading though the last 4 chapters's notes then hmm.. I guess that wouldn't be counted as laziness then BUT still ... I'm very very lazy & given on a free day , I would love to do nothing but sleep & eat all day like a pig & basically doing absolutely nothing at all , that will be bliss if you ask me !
++++++++
lol how funny today's officially the day where I deemed it's the most over rated day ever aka V-Day !If you ask me , it's very over rated like crap & not to mention if you just been dumped or been single all your life , today's a day when you wouldn't show your face in schoo/office without putting a paper bag on top of your head . Nah I'm kidding !I been single my whole life so today will be just another normal day for me even though I must admit V-Day's over commercialised to death & come on lah , to pay 20 bucks for a single stalk of rose or shelling out so much $ for a meal is just plain nuts.So my best tip for all singletons or whoever who dreads today , just stay at home & watch tv . Don't bother to go out or else you will feel more depressed than ever & I mean it !It will be cool for me to pursue a relationship now but it's not on top of my priority list at the moment . I almost started 1 myself & I remembered this incident clearly . About 2-3 years ago , I was & still friends with this guy who's born in France & in a way I was head over heels with him but unfortunately it fizzle out as fast as you can say anything & not to mention it was long distance relationship baby !I'm not sure whether he felt the same way as me but oh well that doesn't matter to me anymore but I remembered on ggates , last month , he came online on my birthday specially just to type a bday message for me :) but since then I didn't see him on .. I used to communicate with him via PM's all the time til his workload at Uni took a toll on everything & if I'm correct , he will turn 22 next month , er.. I think on 16th March? Bloody hell I forgot but I will send him a card for sure . Wow 22 this year haha& 1 of the most memorable birthday presents I gave or should I say sent to him was an autographed Gareth Gates CD in which I managed to get Gareth to autograph when he came down here for his promotional showcase & my friend couldn't stop thanking me like crazy.Now I'm not sure where's his whereabouts as he rarely comes online but hopefully I'm able to contact him soon & yes he's a member on ggates !
++++++++
Hmm.. I don't know is it me or what but I been feeling poorly since yesterday night after I ate a slice of pizza that my mum brought back & heated it up from Carrefour . That slice of pizza tasted weird to me & soon after , I started to have quite terrible stomach cramps & not to mention since the moment I got up this morning , I was feeling sick to the gut ouchNow this's what I called an extreme case of sensitive stomach .I have a fierce temper & I blow up quite easily but luckily I cool down fast so I was thinking maybe every night I set aside some time to erm meditate or else man I will be morph into the worst person in the planet & will break every existing rule !I spoke to Suzy relating to that matter & I was browsing though Amazon UK on the books & man only a handful of them are priced reasonably . The rest are sky rocket expensive , it made me cringe & I thought the prices on Amazon US are bad but nevertheless I talked to her about my dilemna & she's so understanding to the extent that she's willing to help me aww :)I saw the last 1/2 of The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement & awwwwwwwwww the ending was so sweet & not to mention Chris Pine's 1 fine lad in the movie playing the bad ass guy who eventually became good & I know I have said this many times but he's 1 HELL of a dishy dude :P & I swear he's bloody good looking ! No wonder Anne Hathaway's character Mia eventually fall for Chris's character Lord Nicholas Devereaux cos he's hot hot hot . You gotta rent the VCD/DVD just to see him heh heh heh ;)However , the 1 thing that Anne Hathaway's character said in the movie stuck a chord in me in that what if I'm being arranged to a force marriage ? Come to think about it , I wouldn't mind getting married in the future as I'm a terribly hopeless romantic but when it comes to a loveless/forced marriage , now that's a different case altogether & thankfully my parents are not so old fashioned in this sorta matter . But ah.. marriage , it will be cool to walk down the aisle & I believe every woman look the most beautiful & gorgeous on her wedding day ( just look at my cousin Jasmine on her wedding day she was the star of her wedding ! ) even though some people might say otherwise..
++++++++
Ok I can't stand this anymore , I just have to get this issue outta my chest like NOW !I know for a fact that I say that I love hearts & cats in general BUT that doesn't mean that I will start dressing or looking like cats & hearts respectively . The thought of me dressing like a cat makes me sick to the gut , puke !You must be wondering what the hell am I talking about ? Cos doesn't mean if you like something , like being Gothic etc *cough cough , doesn't mean that you have to start changing the way you talk/walk/dress to become well like a goth doll *cough cough againThe folks in my class who read my blog knows who I'm talking about cos eeeeeeeeeeeyeesh , I already buan tahan , can't stand the way she looks now , with all the overdose of makeup . She doesn't read my blog often so I don't care , I just say about her hahaWhen we all 1st came into ITE , she was ok , very sweet & erm innocent looking so I don't know what happened & then she become like that currently & not to mention , why is that she's the 1 chasing after the guys ? I found it quite amusing considering the fact that she's attractive herself so aiya , very complicating to understand her now . & don't get me started on the overdose of dark make up on her , so don't suit her look & not to mention making her skin worst than ever . Aiyo , thinking about that make my skin crawl now lolMyself ? Poo , I would never ever chase a guy , it will seem like I'm desperate to the guys out there & I'm quite old fashioned lah in some ways of thinking so ya la I don't know about her situation now so if she's reading this , just 2 words to her : good luck !

I met my friends Jiha & Yu En eariler in Ngee Ann & my my my , it has been a while since the 3 of us last saw each other . I been good friends with them since my sec school days so it has been 1 heck of a long journey & that we had lots of things to catch up & talk about eariler which was really cool ! & they're currently schooling in Ngee Ann in different courses.When I reached the convention centre , I was told that I appiled under the wrong scheme which was JPAE & that I should be under DAE instead . Fortunately my JPAE application was cancelled cos I didn't know that only ITE graduates can apply for it & that I should apply under DAE. & as you all know or don't know , I haven't graduate yet so damnit!Then the 3 of us went inside the centre where I was being asked & advised on the course that I plan to take once I graduate which was Banking Financial Services. Apparently the lecturers said to me that while it's a good choice , the business courses that they offered are always very high in demand every single year so which means that my chances of getting in are quite slim & not to mention limited places are available .I checked that only 120 places are available for BFS & you can imagine I have to compete with O levels & others too so priority wise , I will get the lowest & I'm thinking , if I for some luck or whatever managed to get in , what will happen if I graduate & look for a job relating to banking? The demand of banking is so small in S'pore yet so many people are out there with the same diploma cert which means that I have to fight & survive to be the fittest . Jiha's taking Real Estate Business in which she's loving it like crazy & that once the new term start on 24th April , she will move onto 2nd year which's pretty cool . I did went to make enquires about it from her lecturer & it seems really interesting & it's 1 course that people overlook & didn't realised that there're some simliarities between it & the flava of the year which's Tourism & Resort Management & that I can't apply for it d'oh !I looked though what REB has to offer & it looks pretty good to me as I'm more business inclined & not so much in IT unfortunately ( I struggled so much for it during my course lmao) & not to mention the job prospects are very wide & should I be given the chance to futher my studies in NUS , the chances are even higher & a wider variety of degrees are in my hand so in short it's really specialised unlike say Accountancy . My only grouse's should I apply though ITE in which I have to wait for 3 weeks for the application letter to arrive or apply right now before the closing date for the application which's 15th Feb ? I'm thinking I should go with the 1st option which was what Yu En , Jiha & her lecturer told me as of now , I'm still really blur & not to mention to get into business courses is very very hard even though I have a good GPA & not to forget , the job prospects of it are quite small & that the market demand of such business diploma graduates are low .But still , it was great seeing Yu En & Jiha again . We catched up a lot , just like what we did in the old days & why even her lecturer told me to apply for REB & consider taking it up cos they want people whose GPA's high like me lol& besides , my mum always tell me to do something different & not the same thing as like what other people are doing so why not ? You never know ...

Do you like to be treated like a kid ? If your answer's yes , then you're mad.I know for a fact that a number of people on MSN were telling me yesterday to drop the idea & concentrate on saving up for something pratical . Good advice there but can someone tell me what's something pratical that I can save up for ? I'm not a high maintenance girl & don't really shop like crazy & oh I certainly don't like branded stuff , I'm generally low maintenance.All I ask's to save up $ to buy something that I really really like & want , is it too much to ask for ? Would you do the same if you're in my shoes ?For me , once I made up my decision & mind on something , nobody will be there to change my mind including on what course I'm planning to do in poly . So by hook or by crook , you can't change the way I think so beat it !
++++++++
Ok this's gonna sound really creepy & weird but at times I do talk to myself . Ok maybe that isn't so creepy after all but I do talk to my other self's of me , asking for answers relating to that issue & the verdict ?In a way , I'm letting the matter rest as of now as honestly , I don't have that kinda $ at this moment in time so after rough calculations here & there in my mind , I think in about 4-5 months's time with crazy brutal saving , I will be able to raise the $ , excluding the amount I currently have in my piggy bank.Cos if I were to use that amount now , I will left with nothing on my hands , with the exception of tons of coins . So yes right now , this matter's put on hold until the day when I will finally raise the full sum as at this moment , I'm going hungry for all the wrong reasons & any person with 1/2 a brain knows that it's WRONG to skip meals & eat 3 whole square meals or 5-6 smaller meals . But I will still ask my aunt who in turn to ask her US friend whether she can help me in this matter , excluding the $ bit . Now , I'm not so concerned about $ , I'm more concerned whether can her friend personally help me ..

Ugh it's official , the next 2 weeks I'm seriously booked & piled up with work right up my neck & it's not funny at any bit . What to do , I'm gonna finish my course probably latest by next month so in a way time's running out & sooner or later , I have to make a decision onto which poly course I wanna take .No doubt it's an important decision I have to make or else should I make a wrong move , I will suffer terribly in the next 3 years during my course . You can say that it's something like marriage as in a way it's a 3 year lifetime decision I have to do . Damn , I sometimes wish I wouldn't have to do such things . In 1 way or another , this Sat DisneyChannel's gonna show The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement . I'm so psyched up in the fact that they're gonna show it but I can't watch it as I think I will be heading to my paternal grandparents's house for dinner . Oh well , I can always watch the VCD of it eariler on the same day . To oogle at Chris Pine in the show who's real hot & fly . He got that bad boy vibe going on which I really really LIKE !I'm happy that tomorrow I will get to see Martin cos usually on Wed & Thurs I don't get the chance to . Which means I will get to see him 6 times a week for this week then woo hoo , provided the fact that I can get up early during the weekend to see him haha so I guess that's something to look forward & oh did I mention I don't have to go school tomorrow ooh wa !
Look at the date on top , 7th Feb . Does it mean anything ? No? Well ok beside the fact that it's 1 week away from Valentine's Day but that's NOT the point !Give up ? Ok then then look at the right side of my blog for the answer . Still don't know ? Alamak you bird brain , can't you think?!?! *calm down* Well ok I spill it out for you then, today's my 1st year blogging - anniversary =). Ooh wa , I so can't believe it , it has been exactly a year since I started blogging after from much coaxing from Su-H !It has been 1 heck of a rollercoaster ride & not to mention 1 year of blogging is a LOT of hard work with me penning down my life almost daily. In a way ,my blog's like my life , a mirror that I can look at . Or in this case , I can read at .All my blood , sweat , tears & not to mention swearing can be found in the past archive section where if you have lots of free time to read & oh I almost forget , I never ever change my blogskin at all since I started blogging a year ago ?Unlike some people who change their blogskin like changing clothes & not to mention some are pretty ugly *cough cough , I didn't get the chance to change my blogskin , yet . I'm so used to this blogskin , it's like I'm stuck with it for life lolSo here's to a more exciting year ahead of a little more personal & raw life on me . Let's pop the champagne everyone . Or this case since I don't drink , I propose a toast to you ala a can of coke to you , on the house !Cheers!

I was talking to my aunt who has been based in Korea working for the past few years via MSN til almost in the wee hours of yesterday night . I was like begging her to help me on something . Come to think about it , I been spending $ un-necessarily & sometimes over on useless stuff . My aunt will ask her friend who's based working in US for help end of this month since her friend will be stopping by Korea in June for a conference meeting . I'm just crossing fingers big time that her friend can help cos that's the only way she can help me get stuff on the net . Yesterday after the BBQ ended , I went to Borders & Kinokyuya to enquire about 18 comic books that I wanted & yes sadly they don't carry the titles anymore & that only Amazon does that in the Used & New section . If not for the fact that the international shipping rate's a killer , my aunt would have helped me long ago .I did some calculations eariler & should my aunt's friend's able to help me , it will set me for almost S$663.39 +++ for everything inclusive the cost of all 18 books + shipping in the US . If you're living in US , the shipping rate for each book's US$2.49.However if my aunt choose to help me & this means the shipping rate will fall under international , it will cost her US$9.79 per book & the total cost for everything will be a staggering S$816.64 !! Yeah I know it's a hell lotta $ there . I have close to about S$300++ in my piggy bank so far & I'm gonna start saving some serious $ at this point in time , whether her friend will decide to help me or not . 1 of the reasons why the books are frickin expensive is because everything's all translated from Japanese to English & the currency Amazon uses are in US dollars but regardless of anything , I'm confident that I will be able to raise the $ & that everything will be worth it even though my aunt will be grumbling on this .But hey I will be responsible even though it means that my parents will really flip if they were to find about this later on in the year but it's not like I'm stealing or robbing but like what I said eariler , it's about time I save up some serious dough to get the stuff I want .I know you think I'm crazy but I don't care so much about that . My friend Han Lei has been saving her butt out since last year cos she's going to see McFly in London & another venue which I forgot but basically she will be flying to London again for 2 weeks somewhere around Sept/Oct .She , like myself , been saving up $ to pay for her whole trip which will set her close to S$5000 bucks +++ for everything . She already saved almost close to S$2000 ++ which's really great & I admire her for that & I'm sure she will raise the full amount eventually. Sometimes it's not the $ that's important , what's more important's whether we save $ up to get something we want that's more worth it which's what I'm planning to do now.

I went for a BBQ in the afternoon . I know what you're thinking , a BBQ in the afternoon ? Yeah I know it's pretty weird & somemore it was the 1st time I ever went for 1 that took place in the daytime instead of night so it was a 1st for me .I went to my mum's friend Dawn's house for the event . She stays at Heritage View which's located somewhere around Dover & her condo is pretty fly . I went there previously about 2-3 years ago for a BBQ too except that took place at night . I always remembered her place cos there're SO many different swimming pools below her place & when I say many , I mean it !No surprises I ate a lot eariler to the extent that I'm not taking dinner tonight . I ate so much junk & oh not to mention , I got more $ today ehehehe as it's still considered Chinese New Year . Chinese New Year last for 15 days & today it's day 7 . I think I collected the most so far as compared to previous years . I collected almost close to S$400 ++ bucks at the moment & I think the amount will be up again in the days to come or not & about 75% of the $ I collected I deposited into the bank .Even if I don't do that , it's kinda pointless for me to stash that amount into my piggy bank as I'm a terrible spendthrift & once $ is in front of me , it will be gone the next second so it's best for me to save it on a rainy day.
What kinda music do you listen to if you're feeling down & that you're just having another bad day in your life ? I appericate brutal honesty in lyrics so whenever I'm having a hard time , I always plug into Ashlee Simpson's I Am Me . Ok sure so I really like the melodies/beats that she come up in her CD but most importantly the lyrics are the key focal point that draws me to her album a lot .If you haven't got the chance to listen to her CD , you should as it's more grown up & mature than her 1st offering Autobiography . In fact , I was rather shocked to see her new promo photos last Oct cos the quality & everything are so different .I'm sure everyone has heard her current 2 singles from I Am Me namely (Didn't Steal Your) Boyfriend & L.O.V.E but there're other tracks that're really good such as In Another Life , Beautifully Broken & Catch Me When I Fall .If I'm not listening to her album , then I probably blast some angry music like Linkin Park . Ok not so much angry but probably angsty music . Other than LP , if I'm having a bad day , I just turn up the volume with Ana Johnsson , Avril Lavigne , Lillix & The Vernoicas . If I'm having a happy day , The Click Five all the way for me & so is Franz Ferdinand .

I went to Ngee Ann Poly's open house today . It was the last day they were having it . I only went today cos Hui Li & Hema wanted to tag along so why not ? I went to their open house 2 years ago , was a bit scared when I 1st went there but this time it wasn't so intimidating as I'm kinda familiar with the place . Got lots of stuff galore but most importantly , my main purpose was to ask the lecturers & students questions & enquire about some courses I'm interested in applying for once I finish ITE soon , that wil take place either later this month or next month.I enquired on some courses . I'm quite bummed in the fact that I can't apply the new course that they have started only this year which's Tourism & Resort Management . Apparently they only accept O levels results & only 80 places are available & that they don't accept ITE results . Shoot , what they offered in the course are really interesting if you ask me ! What a pity.I looked though Business Studies & it's pretty interesting in what they offered too . I could apply for Business IT as I asked the lecturers in that I can skip the 1st year & proceed on to 2nd year due to my results but at the rate that I'm struggling in my course , nah , I will pass that chance . If you know or don't know , I did wanted to do Mass Comm but unfortunately after much thinking , I'm not going to take that up . Cos only as usual the places available are limited & the creme of the crop are selected & as I'm applying though ITE , they will shortlist people & I have to attend an interview & do a 500 word essay . Meh forget it lah .I still have some time to ponder about what course I want to apply to go into since I haven't finish my course in ITE but until then , I have to keep on thinking about this then.

I don't normally go back to school on Fri's but today & next week , I HAVE TO boo hoo hoo whether I like it or not . Why you ask ? Well I have to attend a workshop that I been selected by my form teacher to go . I don't mind to go for it but not for 2 days . Aiyo ... & somemore it's on from 1-4pm :( . Damn , so not good . I want to skive also cannot . Oh well I just have to try & bear with it .Remember that dreaded test that I lost sleep over ? Yeah I got to know the results just yesterday . How much I scored ? 48/50 !!! Woo hoo but in a way it's kinda too bad that I didn't scored the highest in my class . Yup you guess it , someone actually did scored full marks for the test . Needless to say , my jaw dropped when I saw the results slip . That classmate of mine who scored full marks for it , he's actually really really smart , only thing's that he's too lazy to come to school sometimes . & *ahem his classmate has to call him to come . That happened again yesterday My mum know what kinda guys Hui Li's attracted to & the past few days of house visiting says it all . On Tue , I went to some of my mum's friends's house & woah hoho , their kids have all grown up & major growth spurt alert haha . Most of my mum's friends have sons & the last time I saw them , they were still really tiny but suddenly BANG , they're so tall & not to mention pretty good eye candy if you ask me . No surprises Hui Li was all going gaga over them . F.Y.I , she likes guys who're tanned , sporty & er... tall .While I admit that my mum's friends's sons are good looking , I wasn't really like WOW that sorta thing . I guess my taste in guys are different considering the fact that I'm older . What kinda guys I like ? Pretty simple . Er.. I think so . I like guys who're for some reasons way older than me , boyish , a bit of punkish look & has this bad boy vibe going on . & oh , blonde dudes attract me too ! just like in the past when I was going gaga over Nick Carter . Like yesterday night , I was watching Daniel Powter's Free Loop on MTV . I was grinning like a cheshire cat while watching it cos he's really good looking even though I wish he would take off those caps/hats that he wear . He wears them cos apparently he has something like a scar on his head from a freak accident . & oh did I mention he's 34 ? & who else .. ah yes Ryan Cabrera & recently on TV , those Hong Kong actors ! Hong Kong are so lucky if you ask me . So many eye candy going on TV , I was pratically drooling all the time , it's scary but hey , who says who can't drool over them ? & in the latest Feb LIME issue , they did a DVD review on Usher's Truth Tour & among the things they wrote was that he performed topless for a good ol' half of the show . That's 1 DVD I might be checking out heh heh heh& AH I SO forget this ! Did anyone seen The Princess Diaries 2 or Sky High or both ? Damn ! in both films there're 2 guys that're HOT & they play bad guys who eventually became good in the end.For The Princess Diaries 2 , you have to check out on Chris Pine who plays Lord Nicholas Deveraux . For more info , check out on The Princess Diaries 2 In a way , I'm glad that Anne's character did not eventually choose Callum Blue's character as I don't find him hot haha.Ok fine at least I give Callum's character Andrew some credit for being charming & being a gentleman in the movie heh but Chris's character is really hot & he's really boyish looking & Disney Channel's gonna show The Princess Diaries again on 12th Feb as part of their romantic weekend movie getaway galore. WOO HOO .. H-A-P-P-Y& last but definitely not the least , Steven Strait who plays Warren Peace in Sky High . So ok he looks funny in the poster in Sky High with long hair & all with him throwing fireballs but have you seen him in the movie itself ? Wahahaha , I caught it when Sky High was opened last year & was staring at him like literally in every scene he appeared in haha .It was so funny but without a doubt , Sky High was really good . If you didn't caught it you should rent it on DVD/VCD & check out Steven's character in there hehI got the VCD of Sky High & might be watching that later on to look at Steven again haha & he most recently appeared in the flim Undiscovered.As embarassing as it sounds now , I'm really drooling right now while typing this entry . I better get a tissue to wipe myself like now !

Yup I did went to cut my hair after all & now I look so much better . Er ... I guess cos I asked my hairstylist to give me something fuss free & short as my previous hairstyle was driving me mad like crazy ! & right now I look so much neater.Ok in a way I'm bored now so I might as well dish some dirt on some artistes :- The Veronicas's 3rd single after 4ever & Everything I'm Not will be When It Falls Apart- 1 of my fave rock bands P.O.D is finally back with a brand new album Testify & the lead single from the album is Goodbye For Now- Eminem's next single after When I'm Gone is Shake That feat Natt Dogg . For some reasons , I prefer the other new single on his greatest hits CD Fack than Shake That.Maybe it's something that to due with the fact that Fack's another way of saying the F word haha . I mean in a more milder & polite way lah- Another of my fave rock bands All American Rejects or AAR for short , their 3rd single after Move Along & Dirty Little Secret will be Stab My Back . I love Stab My Back even though I wish they would release Drive All Night or Can't Take It (my personal fave on their album)- After the release of their brand new album Lights & Sounds , it has been confirmed that Florida rock band Yellowcard's 2nd single will be Rough Landing Holly , the follow up single after their 1st single that's the same title as their album.- 1 of my fave new bands at the moment , The Click Five's 3rd single tentatively might be Say Goodnight ( my personal fave in the CD ) after the success of Catch Your Wave & their debut single Just The Girl . Here's an interesting fact : given the chance , they would rather release Pop Princess instead of Just The Girl as their debut single . - Ms American Idol aka Carrie Underwood's 3rd single will be Don't Forget To Remember Me , after she released her US Billboard No 1 Inside Your Heaven & the subsequent double release of Some Hearts & Jesus Take The Wheel . - After the success of Dance Dance & their debut mainsteam single Sugar We're Going Down , Fall Out Boy's 3rd single will be the strangely titled Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year . If you think that's weird , check out some of the song titles found in their From Under The Cork Tree CD : Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued , I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) , I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me- Any Chris Brown fans ? After spending 5 weeks being No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his debut single Run It that features Julez Santana , his 2nd single is Yo (Excuse Me Miss ) with Gimme That being confirmed as the 3rd single.

Wah February's here already , my god . Time really files fast just like that if you ask me.I plan to do something after I finish school today . What you ask ? CUT MY HAIR ! I find out that I'm SO not suited to have shoulder or long hair after all :( & somemore with the kinda weather S'pore gets , is it any wonder it's best for me to stick to short hair ? & besides to keep long hair is such a chore , I rather chop them all up .At most I just buy wigs to wear for fun if I want to experience the feeling of having long hair then lolI been going to the same hairstylist ever since I was born . Yeah so in a way she watched me grow up which's really cool & right now , my hair's really messy & thick like bunches of poodle fur sticking together like glue (eeeeeeee).I plan to ask her to give me a new hairstyle that's fuss free & match the shape of my face as the past few years it's always the same hairstyle she gave me so it's about time I need a change !I just hope she wouldn't give me a terrible hair cut later & yes like always , I'm so lazy , I want a new haircut that's really easy to maintain for me during hot/cold/windy weathers .& oh not to forget , please don't cut my hair super short like a boy ! There was 1 time when I was in kindergarden , she cut my hair to the extent it looked like a bowl cut . I went to kindergarden for 1 week hearing endless teasing from my classmates . I swear that very second , I wanna hide my face in a paperbag . Why even my mum thought I looked cute in it , yeesh & took quite a lot of pics showing me in that disaster haircut . I still have the pics ... somewhere , I will cringe big time should I ever dig them up again . Somehow I think it's best to lay them buried heh heh
