Punk'd is 1 of my fave TV shows & eariler 5 mins before it was about to end , guess who got punk'd ? none other than The Click Five's lead vocalist Eric Dill haha!

& if that's not 'bad' (or should I say good ? ) enough , the rest in the band had a hand in punking Eric as well haha . The guys are very bad man but on whole I thought it was kinda cute seeing Eric got sabo by his band-mates. You just don't know who to trust isn't it ?

Ok basically in a nutshell , what happened was the 5 of them went bowling & when Eric was about to throw the bowling ball into the alley where the bowling pins are located , the ball he threw crashed & broke the barrier that was holding back the bowling pins !

If that's bad enough , the computer screens where the scores of each lane are being tabulated & kept track , the system crashed & the 'manager' of the bowling arena was nonetheless happy & lashed a couple of not very flattering words on Eric .

Another 2 accomplices also said the same things to Eric as well in which they accused Eric of spoiling a birthday party & around this time he was almost reduced to tears . In a way it's strange as to how come Eric never suspect why the punk'd folks only targeted at him & not everyone in The Click Five together.

& then everyone came into full swing with cameras & all & hahaha , what a cool sight to be behold at & Eric was swearing away & proudly proclaimed that he just got punk'd , with some help from Ethan (still as hot as ever I don't care despite the recent disaster Maggi Mee lookalike hairdo aka Danny's clone alert haha) , Ben (but of course Ben Ben Ben) , Joe & Joey.

& they all live happily ever after ... :)

MTV played a bit of him gonna be featured tomorrow + the video to Right Where You Want Me & goodness , he looked GOOD ahaha & man he's looking better day by day . Very nice very nice hee

Spent the whole of last night talking to Suzy til the wee hours of the night , man has been a long time since I last had a prim proper conversation with her on MSN cos of time differences & with her busy with Uni work .

Talked about so many things , ranging from McFly to Angeline & also some other 'stuff' in which I was so glad that I was able to talk to her about & not to mention ask some advise from her too cos sometimes it's good to talk about things to her as even though she's only a year older than me but still glad that I was able to confide stuff with her.

& speaking about McFly , yes it's confirmed ! Star Girl's no1 in the UK singles chart this week woo hoo which means that they have officially 6 UK no1 singles which's amazing .

The singles that they released which went to no 1 in the UK are : 5 Colours In Her Hair , Obviously , All About You/You've Got A Friend , I'll Be OK , Please Please/Don't Stop Me Now & now Star Girl woo hoo

& just now I managed to record the full versions of We Are The Young & Sorry's Not Good Enough off a MySpace McFly fansite , a link that Angeline gave me on MSN & ahhhhhhh I love it I love it .

Before that I only heard snippets of both songs on McFly's official MySpace site but oh goody goody , I have full versions of the songs now + Transylvania too. Sorry's Not Good Enough's ace while We Are The Young's really good as well . Can't wait for the release of their 3rd CD Motion In The Ocean next Mon.

--------------

This morning woke up rather late cos I was talking to Suzy til so late at night I only managed to got outta bed around 10.40am or so haha . So after I had breakfast , I logged into MSN & finally man managed to talk to Dan after from much cajole on Suzy's part cos she was telling me to send an SMS to him to make sure that I'm not dead or something haha

Some things did happened a while ago but now I can officially say that things are alright . I wouldn't let some casual remarks spoil my friendship with Dan & let it get in my way . That's plain dumb on my part.

I also talked to ET for a while , was asking him about his pet cat Kyo cos he has a pic of Kyo on his MSN display pic . Kyo's so cute ! & yeah at least he didn't name his pet cat Homework haha

I haven't had a proper chance to talk to Dan for the past month or so cos I was quite busy 'trying' in vain to prepare for the exams but now that the exams are over yay finally had a chance to catch up with him lots via MSN.

Was talking to him lots of stuff which was great , ranging from last week the 2 gigs that Electrico did at the Hype concert aka S'pore Idols concert & the PowerJam that took place at Zouk to High School Musical as well haha

I saw what he wrote about the Hype concert on Electrico's MySpace blog & not really flattering things he wrote & said eariler when I futher asked him about it on MSN but ah well things do happen & seems like that the organisers said that it's best if they do Runaway (AGAIN) during last Tue's event.

Which's stupid cos they can't forever do Runaway & be stuck in a rut in which btw they played Love In New Wave & We're Not Made In The USA . Tsk or else people who never heard their stuff are gonna forever think that Electrico's best known for Runaway . Right...

For the PowerJam , they did Love In New Wave & Electricorp. & yup they won Fave S'pore Band & Fave Local Song (for All The World feats Rivermaya) at the 1st Power98 S'pore Music Awards 2006 . Apparently they did get some trophies but it's a lamented plaque haha , I wanna see pics of it soon & yeah I did vote for them but only once lah via email but still it's cool & yees , I did asked him to help me in something again in which he was so nice , he & the rest are gonna help me in that yay

They're gonna release a new single soon woo hoo almost 4-5 months since Love In New Wave was out . Dan told me about this eariler but plans are not confirmed yet as to which will be the next single . Honestly I'm ok with anything as long as the video to it will be good haha

but still it was all good catching up with him on Electrico related & personal stuff eariler & come to think about it , it's time that I should go & meet up with him before I'm off to Genting at the end of next month.

I just hate it when periods are around . Hate it that it comes every month . Hate it when it comes cos it feels like I have been pregnant for 12 times in a year ! I just hope that mine's all over & done with soon.

Past few days been really snappy . I snapped at my mum at whatever harmless or casual remarks she made . Even Hui Li & Hui Lin were not spared too . My temper's really terrible , I blow hot & cold real easily . In fact whenever my period's here , it's probably 2-3 times worst than usual . I will be like the most horrible monster ever exist in the world haha

Maybe I should go for some anger management courses since I'm having holidays right now . Come to think about it , my temper was even worst when I was a kid . Only more recently I have mellowed down quite a bit . Erm sorta but oh well.

But in a way whenever I have it , it's always a good excuse to use whenever you're throwing temper at whoever cos people don't know whether you're lying or not unless they bother to check haha

Saha dropped me a message & left me a comment on my MySpace eariler in which I was surprised & funny enough , he asked me have I been to Heeren lately or not -_- . Why I don't know but thought that was a bit weird & quite random haha

I'm not sure why he asked me that & he said he thought he saw me there . No leh , I haven't been to Heeren for a while now , not since the HMV outlet there got a facelift of sorts .

& I bought Keane's Under The Iron Sea yesterday . Check out my thoughts of it in my MySpace blog & was looking though my old emails I exchanged with Dan & GAWD looking back , I absolutely HATED the name I choose before I eventually revert back to my original Eng name.

I used to call myself Shayera or Shay or short in which Dan used to call me that . Initally I thought it was a cute & unique name but now eurgh I don't think so . I just glad that I decided to revert back to plan 'ol Karen before it's too late of sorts .

Sometimes it's easy to say a rather common name , instead of a complicated sounding name if you ask me.

Today's new episode of Totally Spies :

Evil Bouquets Are Sooo Passe

"When men all the world over are discovered in a strange, catatonic state, WOOHP calls in the spies. After some investigation, Sam, Clover and Alex uncover that what all of these men have in common is that they all received flowers from the exact same flower shop! The girls trace the bouquets to a jilted florist bent on getting revenge on all of her past boyfriends ! Can the girls stop her before she takes out the rest of her ex-beaus as well as the entire male population of the world? In the b-story, an ex boyfriend of Clover shows up at Bev High and ends up dating Sam!"

Dammit that guy who was Clover's ex is DAMN HOT ! His name's Fernanto & he went on a study date with Sam 1st & then he went on to supposedly date Alex . Come to think about it , a bit of a 2nd timer cad but oh well.

I saw this eariler & I can see splashes of a previous TS episode which's Nature Nightmare but this's a more tame version as both episodes deals with plants but today's episode's quite alright .

But the thought of using hybrid plants to whip out the entire male population of the world sounds a bit too far fetched to me & ooh they have a new gadget which's the teddy bear pendant cum mask .

It's so cute , who would ever thought that a pendant can double up as a gas mark ? sweet.



Have you ever wonder or ever thought of a person's past when you 1st befriend him/her & that once you got to know that person's past a bit better , your impression/perception & the way you look at your friend has changed subsquently? This's something that never really crossed my mind before but after talking to Jen & Fuzz separately about it , it probably did or not.

My past has been a mystery myself too . It sounds scary but I can't recall that much on my childhood & also my primary & secondary school days . When I tried to recall , it's all nothing but blur memories . The excuse I gave's that I was brainwashed or something whipped out memories of my past or a more realistic one's that I was possessed by a ghost or changed by 'something' when I was 10 when I stayed over my maternal grandma's house . Didn't helped matters that it was during the Hungry Ghost Festival when that happened.

i'm not sure if I was really possessed by a ghost or what but I do know that my attitute & everything changed soon after that . Oh well that's all in the past.

woo finally managed to talk to ET a bit on MSN . Like finally cos I got his contact from Linda almost 3 weeks ago a day after the Lunarin gig but didn't managed to had a proper conversation with ET proper as I was preparing for the exams & all.

But yeah just now I talked to ET & it was fun , of all the things we talked about , we talked about Marvel Vs Capcom haha & I'm surprised that he plays it too but he told me that he only plays it in the arcade when nobody's around as his skills suck & always whenever he faced against Onslaught , he always K.O haha

Maybe 1 of those days I will teach him how to kick Onslaught's ass on the double ! . Then again I self taught myself how to play Marvel Vs Capcom + X Men Vs Street Fighter so that would be fun . & to think I used to hate playing X Men Vs Street Fighter as it was a damn difficult game to play cos unlike Marvel Vs Capcom where you can easily do the super combination of each fighter , you can't easily do that for X Men Vs Street Fighter & sometimes the controls can be a pain in the ass.

But now more or less I got the hang of it , I only get worried if people starts to challenge me & worst when they choose either Wolverine/Sabretooth (most unlike combination in real life but most likely combination in reel life ! ) , Wolverine/Cyclops , Wolverine/Ryu .

I'm not that worried if people challenge me for Marvel Vs Capcom though even though I must admit the most over rated teams I always see are Ryu/Megaman , Megaman/War Machine.

For me , never be normal ! I always go against the rules . Rules are meant to be broken after all !

I'm officially crushed . Eariler I checked the Starhub & Kids Central programme guide on what will be broadcast in the next few days to come & what I saw was 'devastating' , sort of .

No more X Men that will be aired at 10.30am on Kids Central , no more Martin Mystery that will be aired at 10am starting from next Wed on Disney Channel ! They already stopped showing MM on Mon-Wed at 5pm & now this ?! Sniff this's terrible & to make things even more sadder , next Thurs , they're gonna encore back the misery 12 episodes of Season 3 .

Excuse me much ? I already watched the 12 episodes like crazy . Can't Disney Channel at most showed new episodes of MM for god's sake ?

Today was the last episode of X Men & it's like the finale of everything of the classic & I wish today wasn't the last episode that Kids Central showed . Now I have nothing else to look forward to in the morning , well aside from TRL on MTV , I'm not sure what else man dammit

Eariler this morning , I went back to the doctor to get him checked on my right ear cos yesterday night I felt pain at the right side so decided to go & see him on my own & just like yesterday , he said that there're too much ear wax inside my ear.

& he did the same procedure like what he did yesterday , took the metal syringe full of water & pumped everything inside my ear . Unlike yesterday which was more painful & not to mention more yuck , today wasn't so bad even though I still had to brace myself but at least now I'm rewarded with better clearing in both ears now yay

Mind you it has been a long time since I can hear so & quite well , almost 6-7 years I suffered in agony of sorts so finally I'm free , in a way.

Now that I'm on holidays , I'm seriously thinking of going to rehab . Not that I'm on drugs or something but I'm thinking of doing something to my physique & also watch VCDs ! I have a lot of VCDs in the living room's TV closet & I never got the time to watch any of them but now ah that's possible !

Somemore with the fact that now I'm paying adult fare for public transport , it's best I hide at home . + I wanna do something about my physique , maybe I will hit the gym for 2 hours a day instead of the usual a hour a day regiem that I usually do but I'm not sure , plans are not laid down yet . I'm just saying only.Not sure if I can take it or not but see how.

After I went to the doctor , I went to HMV (Citylink Mall outlet) & haha 1st thing I saw when I stepped inside was the calendar rack & they were selling the official 2007 McFly calendar among others .

I SMS'd Angeline when I saw it & too late in a way cos she already bought it when she was in UK -_- . The calendar cover's the same as McFly's upcoming 3rd CD Motion In The Ocean & it cost S$14.95 & nah I'm not buying even though I'm a McFly fan.

& yes HMV did sell McFly's CDs . I saw their 2nd album Wonderland & the price tag's CRAZY ! They're selling it for a whopping S$61 . I was O.O when I saw it ! Their 1st album Room On The 3rd Floor's no better aka S$28.50 . Nuts !

Angeline only paid 5 uk pounds for their 1st , 5.99 uk pounds for their 2nd & 9.99 for their upcoming 3rd .

I really can't wait for the release of their 3rd album if you ask me . I heard almost 1/2 of the songs so far & it's GOOD ! I heart Sorry's Not Good Enough even though I only heard a snippet of it but still , it's a great track ! It has potential to be a single .

& guess what ? High School Musical's no1 in the compliation CD chart in HMV ! They deserved the top spot for sure.

What a lousy way to start my holidays . It's like pratically every part of my body's shutting down . I'm losing my hearing , my period came yesterday & now I'm having a flu since afternoon cos I have been sleeping really late & waking up really early . Maybe I should overdose myself with vitamins then.

Now at least my hearing's a hell lot better well sorta . My dad brought me to this doctor in which his parents aka my paternal grandparents been going for all this while this morning . His clinic's quite conveniently located near Braddell MRT.

I had to wait for almost 2 horus before I managed to see this doctor . I told him that there's this annoying sound coming from my left ear & it's annoying me big time . He did some check up on me & the conclusion ? excess ear wax blockage inside me ear !

& this's the part in which I have to caution you cos the imaginary pic that you're gonna visualise in your head will be really gross . So if you're drinking or eating anything now , please stop for a moment or don't do anything , just read on haha.

The doctor asked 1 of his nurse to prepare some stuff , the kind that you see in operation theatres while he went to the basin in his room & start to on the sink . Before doing that , he asked me to sit in the centre of the room.

The nurse came back into the room , holding a HUGE metal syringe ! It's not the small plastic syringe you normally see if you're gonna go for injection . This one's really big & it's metal . I was O.O when I saw that , madness !

The doctor took the huge metal syringe from the nurse & proceed to load it up with the water he collected from the basin . Once that's done , he inserted the tip of the syringe into my left ear , full blast of water shot inside my ear !

& this's the gross part , the excess ear wax were all purged out , in liquid form & what's more yucky's that the water that came outta my ear , it's all brown in colour ! Eew , it was so disgusting , I never realised so much ear wax was stuck inside GROSS

But after that happened , I can hear crystal clear with my left ear already woo hoo but the problem's just now , I forgot to ask the doctor to do the same thing for my right as my right ear has that sound .

Thankfully my left ear doesn't have any sound coming out thank goodness so tomorrow I'm making the 2nd trip to the doctor on my own this time cos I don't want my dad to ask me to do some weird things after that .

He's a bit of a clean freak so there but for a moment , I really thought that I was about to lose my hearing for good . Luckily no.

I should make a habit to sleep early cos I have a tendency to wake up early so if I were to sleep late & wake up early , it's not good for me . So I guess I will K.O early tonight then & oh Angeline , thanks for the pressie you sent me . It's so cute & somemore got my name on it I suppose I should like it .

After all it comes from you haha

Wooo holidays are in out & school's out ! today I had my last paper aka Maths & thank goodness it was do-able . I was quite scared when the question paper was laid in front of me but luckily more or less I was able to do it.

I haven't even finish my 1st question & 2 of my classmates already handed up everything to the investigators at 2.30pm cos you can leave the room 1/2 a hour after the paper commerced so when both left , I was kinda shocked. Even the investigators were giving that kinda dirty look after they left .

I know cos I was sitted quite in front & both investigators were skimming though their answer booklets. But anyway it's their own choice , not mine . Oh well.

Now I can more or less catch up on lots of sleep before waiting for the dreaded exam results to be announced online next month aka Nov 27th . But right now , heck , all my books & notes are all in the dustbin haha no just joking , they're all in my shelves in my room.

I bought Jesse McCartney's Right Where You Want Me CD today & goodness , I love everything on what I heard . I did a CD review of it in my MySpace blog & to think initally I didn't want to as I was relented to but I was so glad that I eventually decided to & I enjoyed everything which's great cos usually like what I said , artistes tend to make subsquent records after their debut & standard & all , just suck but not this one .

3 papers down , 1 more to go before I embark on my holidays this Wed woo hoo . Today I had Econs & it was ok , at least most of what I studied came out even though I think I will lose quite a bit of marks due to carelessness but I don't know . It's over & done with so I shouldn't let that bother me too much now.

I know a lot of people will have a lot of things to do in their agenda once exams/school's out & holidays are in & believe it or not , the 1st thing that I'm gonna do once that happens is that I'm going to visit the doctor !

So unglam right ? Of all the things that I'm gonna do during the holidays , visiting the doctor will be 1st in my agenda & somemore I'm going to see 1 this Thurs . Now before you go ??? , let me futher say why.

I have a ear problem condition since Sec 1 or so , it has been in me for almost 6 years ++ & it's an on/off affair & usually it's on , it's not a funny sight to begin with.& you can say that it's an evil boyfriend I have to stick with , no matter how much I hate 'him' .

I suspect the condition's genetic as my dad & his dad & my dad's oldest brother has the same condition as me in that sometimes I can't hear that well & there will be some annoying sound that're stuck in my ears . I'll be lucky if that happens for only 1 ear & not both.

& for the past week , I had another attack which really suck . My left eardrum was bursted I think & yesterday night , it got so bad to the extent that the left side of my face was partially numb . So when I was eating food , I can't feel anything at the left side .

Also when I burp or yawn , it hurts too . I usually have such attacks a few times a year but yesterday was horrible . Luckily I took Panadol to subside the pain more or less cos before that the pain was so unbearable I almost wanted to cry like crap + doesn't help matters that I was trying in vain to study for today's Econs . The pain's no longer there but there's still this annoying ringing sound in my left ear.

If that's not bad enough , I have a rather hard time hearing & listening to what other people said to me ! Just today , after the exams , I went to NTUC to buy some ham & man I had a hard time listening out to what the counter lady had to say which's so frustating.

I'm a bit scared yeah cos I don't want to lose my sense of hearing at such a young age *touchwood* & somemore whenever I listen to music on my mp3player the past week , the left side of my ear , I only can hear 50% as compared to my right .

Damn , so much for moaning a lot , I guess this Thurs I have to see what the doctor in the polyclinic has to say . At most the doctor there can refer me to a specialist , will be much cheaper that way .

At the meantime , I'm only glad that the pain has subsided , if not in comes another dosage of Panadol then.

Today a new Totally Spies episode & believe me this episode scared the hell outta me when I was watching it in the afternoon . The title's Mani Manic Much .

"When teenaged girls start to disappear from the greater Beverly Hills area, Jerry sends Sam, Clover and Alex in to investigate. What they uncover is that a malicious manicurist, by implanting tiny, mind controlling jewels in all of his fabulous nail creations is creating an evil army of manicured teens to take out the most popular mani-pedi boutique in the area. Can the spies save their fellow BH girls and the world before it is too late or will they too become crazed mani maniacs?! In a b-story, Clover and Mandy compete for a dream job as a hand model."

It was quite scary & let me just say that it changes my whole perception on the way I look at manicured nails now . Before watching this , I was still ok with looking at girls with manicured nails & all but now oh man it's all eurgh .

The girls that were implanted with mind control manicured nails , their nails can grow very long . How long's long ? well if you watched X Men 2 , you would know this villian called Lady Deathstrike with insane long nails . Not only that , the girls that were captured were able to use their long extended manicured nails like whips except in the form of a manicure nail .

Yikes , scary much . Wonder whether such a reel issue will become a reality in the future . Ooh just imagine , celebs like Jolin Tsai , Rainie Yang , Ayumi Hamasaki who're all manicured nails groupies or anyone , what happened if 1 day their manicured nails were being implanted with some mind control manicured nails which in the process will give them nails as long as how Lady Deathstrike's ones look like , so much so that you can use them as darts , ripped a store apart , use them as whips .

The manicure world will become another colourful place.

I bought the latest copy of hot & on page 42 I saw the interview on Electrico in which it's like finally but don't be mistaken , whether they're on cover or being interviewed or anything , that's not the main purpose in me buying hot . I think hot magazine's a great mag for a mean fix of gossip & besides to spend S$3.50 on it for 2 weeks , it's gooood.

but anyway like I was saying , I saw the interview hot did on the guys & about time I say cos in a way was getting worried on it & a bit case of f.y.i , hot writers interviewed them after the Waterfest lineup series of gigs finished & also that day I happened to hang out with the guys & girl + it was Dave's bday somemore.

if you realised the band was being interviewed in a very systematic manner in that the questions that they were asked , Dave's answer's 1st , followed by Dan , Des , Doopz & Will & they were interviewed separately , unlike together as a band . I know cos that time each of them sat at the other side of the tent with some writers & Dan left to go that side to get interviewed after I talked to him for a while .

& yup I already sent a scanned interview of the article via their MySpace so that they would save S$3.50 haha . All in a day's work .

& Tim , thank you so much for the nice 'gift' you sent me on MySpace . I know you used Lunarin's account but still I know it's you haha but many thanks dude , I love it !

& right now me being bored & all , thought I answered some of the questions that Electrico was asked in hot & then some in which hot asked Teddy Geiger too .

What's The 1st Thing You Do When You Wake Up ? with thoughts in my head thinking ' god let me sleep somemore' & then I fell back to sleep til my dad wakes me up & shout it's 11am when it's only 9am in the 1st place -_-

Who Do You Think It's Hot ? heh heh heh , no surprises , I think Oliver Goodwill's absolutely high in the drooling meter & ahh why I never noticed him eariler in Evanescence's Call Me When You're Sober ? It was only til I watched the video a few more times & then he caught my attention . He's a hottie hot hottie *drools*

Which Famous Person Would You Invite Over For Dinner ? Oliver Goodwill ! If not , then probably Chris Pine , Jesse McCartney or The Click Five , especially bass player Ethan Mentzer & keyboardist Ben Romans.

Pet Hate ? my #1 pet hate's smoking ! I don't hate people who smokes , I just detest the habit to pits & besides I have seen my late maternal grandfather & family doctor smoked to their graves & recently in the papers there's this poor dude who got lung cancer due to heavy smoking (he used to smoke 5-6 packs a day in his hey days which's mad) & I feel sorry for him as he lost his sight now cos the cancer has spread to his brain & his days are numbered at this moment so does picking a ciggie seems cool to me ? I don't think so .

Why should I spend or should I say burn S$10 for a pack of ciggies ? so let's say I smoke a pack a day , in which I will burn about S$300-S$310 a month which works out to almost S$3600-S$3720 a year ! Woah that's enough moolah being gone up in smoke & I could have used that $ to go on holiday to Korea or Japan.

Last CD ? Lunarin's The Chrysalis

Where I Chill ? at home , especially my room

1 thing I cannot live leave home without : hmmm... probably my mp3player , the best !

Watched The Prestige this afternoon which stars Hugh Jackman , Christian Bale , Michael Caine & Scarlett Johansson & never in my life I was so lost while watching a movie . The movie almost clocked in at 2 hours , 10 mins long & almost 1/2 of the time , I was lost & confused while watching it as there were so many twists & turns & unexpected issues going on .

But in general I can understand the plot of The Prestige & if you like magic , magicians & all , I think you should watch it & somemore it's directed by Christopher Nolan in which I think he's 1 heck of a great director . After all he directed Batman Begins & I think he's gonna direct the sequel to it which's titled The Dark Knight , can't wait for that.

& after that , I went to the arcade to settle an old score with War Machine in the Marvel Vs Capcom game as the last time I was there , I was beaten by his stupid combo match , that damn War Destroyer Rocket Launch which 'killed' me so I went & ripped him apart iterally & that felt good !

& the next time I'm going to the arcade , gonna settle a new score with Spiderman !

Electrico posted a new pic up on their MySpace account . I recongised that pic as it's taken from the latest issue of Newman magazine & Newman did an article & interviews on some local music bands in conjunction with a local music scene segment/section of sorts .

I did read that portion , aside from them , Newman also interviewed Lunarin , The Observatory , The Great Spy Experiment & somemore . Newman only asked each act about 5 questions or less & most of them are typical stuff & quite boring .

Besides , I don't see the need to spend S$6 on Newman just bcos of this & it's quite a man's mag I think so I think if I were to buy , my mum would be asking me questions that I cannot answer -_- & content wise , it's quite tame as compared to FHM or Maxim hur hur.

I like the pic of Electrico in Newman but then I wonder how come the background's quite dark . Then again , I prefer their current lineup of pics unlike the previous batch which was quite cringy to look at . I rather they go all dark & moody than something else . If you see the previous old press photos of them , you know why as you might be asking ' what were they thinking back then ??? ' .

Hui Li saw the pic & asked me how come Dan keep on posing like that & Maggie was going on something about him yesterday on MSN in which when I saw that on my MSN screen conversation with her , I choke , like iterally & also O.O cos even though she only said 1 line about Dan but it really made my hair stand as this's the 1st time she said that about him ahahaha.

Don't think I will post what Maggie said about Dan in here but I suppose if I were to tell him on what she said , his ego will grow big again , as usual cos he & Hui Li are the same , in that both are shameless in a good way hee.

2 papers down , 2 more papers to go for next week til I'm free . Today I had Accounting & overall I found the paper do-able even though some parts were really tricky . I was stumped for 10 mins or so when I tried to do the question on the stock cards of FIFO , LIFO & AVCO til a light bulb of sorts hit me when I re-read the question over & over again . Phew.

Today's Life section of The Straits Times they did an interview with Christian Bale , in conjunction with the release of his flim in cinemas tomorrow The Prestige which also stars Hugh Jackman who's best known for acting as Wolverine for the 3 X Men movies & it's directed by Christopher Nolan , the same dude who directed the excellent & dark Batman Begins.

ST gave good reviews for The Prestige aka 4/5 & I seen the trailer before in cinemas & it looks really great . Besides Christian Bale did a great job portraying Batman/Bruce Waynes in Batman Begins so I'm definitely gonna watch it & I can't wait for the sequel to Batman Begins.

Heath Ledger's gonna play the Joker who's like the ultimate baddie Batman has ever face which's really exciting . I find the Joker very interesting as a character in general . After all I'm a huge Batman fan , I think Batman : The Animated Series's an absolute cartoon classic + Batman Of The Future's awesome too & I think Terry McGinnis did a pretty good job filling in the shoes of the original Batman & I dig the new costume that Terry wore !

Watched a bit of The Emperor's New School eariler to laugh at the numerous lame jokes that were in store in the show & among which today , the students have to take care of a kitty that they were given each to show that they're responsible & it's an assignment they have to pass or else they will fail the class.

the main character Kuzcos being the most big headed , full of himself , talked way too much cock guy I ever know , well I mean cartoon character , proceeded on to say that he doesn't need to take care of a kitty cos as he proclaimed as the future emperor , he doesn't need to do such a thing . Erm.. right.

to make things even more laughable , of all the names he choose to name his pet black kitty , he has to choose a lame name aka Homework -.- . Hello ? who would name his pet kitty which eventually became a big cat Homework ? Well that's a 1st for naming a kitty Homework .

I rather go with something easy to remember & it has more meaning instead of Homework & no I'm not making this up but thought it's so funny . Maybe in future if I have a pet kitty , I would choose a better name , unlike Homework.


You know when Kuzcos name his pet kitty Homework , I was laughing til I can't stop . I mean , really would you name your pet hamster or dog or fish Homework ? That's so lame.

Before that , I saw a bit of some TV show on Ch5 , talking about the local music scene & all . Lim Yu Beng was hosting it & ah he was talking about this shop that stocked up on local music bands .

The name of the shop's called Roxy Music . Fuzz said that it's situated at Excelsior shopping centre next to Funan & Serenaide was mentioned on the show .

Damn too bad that show lasted 10 mins before it ended drats & is it me or did I saw an album cover of Dan's old band Livonia on the CD racks of Roxy Music haha . I can't really remember how the cover looked like , I think it was aqua blue or something but thought that was cool.

I would love to check Roxy Music out after my exams probably if you ask me & scully they still have Linda's old band Fuzzbox discs in stock hur hur.

Pros & Cons when parents are away on holiday ::

Pros ::

- isn't it obvious ? major pro's that both my parents are away , me & my 2 sisters have the whole house to ourselves !

- house rules are outta the window ! aka breakfast for dinner , dinner for breakfast .

- my parents are not around to nag at me from day to day on the usual stuff on not to do & yada yada yada .

Cons ::

MAJOR CON ALERT -----------> paternal grandma & uncle keep on BOMBING the house with tons of phone calls on pratically on an hourly basis ! keep telling the 3 of us not to anyhow run around which's so f-king annoying ! They still think that we're kids no matter how old we're grrr

On Sat , my uncle called my house 10 times when I just go to Jurong Point in the afternoon to buy something from Perlini which's insane ! & yesterday night when all 3 of us went to Bukit Panjang Plaza for dinner , I had 3 missed calls on my phone aka all from my grandma's house .

I didn't heard it ring cos I accidentally or so put it on slient mode haha.

I know that they're concerned & all but when you keep calling me every f-king waking hour , that's over the limit & scares the hell outta me ! So looks like I have to add another trait of my future boyfriend aka don't be so over possessive & keep calling me every stupid waking hour as to keep tab on what I do , where I'm & etc . If not I will kick him where it hurts the most really hard !

Sheesh , I'm ready to change my handphone & house number if that's the case & yesterday night before we go out for dinner , we just told my maternal grandma about it that's all & at least she treats us like grown ups , not like some people *roll eyes*

- Mineral water sucks big time . My dad bought like 15 or so 1 Litre of NTUC mineral water cos we're notorious of drinking lots of water & he scared that if we were to boil water & all , we would set the house on fire . Oh haha what a joke ....

See the pattern here ? Mostly my paternal relatives are damn protective & spoilt their kids way too much .

- Never realise that buying newspapers's a rather big chore . I always hate the Sat editions of Straits Times & needing to buy it on Sat was terrible . It was SO heavy carrying it from the petrol station to my house , d'oh .

----------------------

took my 1st paper today aka English & boohoohoo , it's SO difficult :( I just hope that I can at least scrap though a pass grade cos I'm so not good with English . If you ask me to speak , then probably I'm good at it but writing & answering English is a totally different story .

Til then , I will be at the north pole waiting for my 'death sentence' then .

& ole , got my Ligeia Lunarin poster lamented :) before I had lunch wheee . Initally the photocopying lady said that it can't be done cos the poster was of a weird size , whatever that means but she did that for me eventually . Paid S$5 for it which was quite shocking but still , it's a small price to pay to get that done .

Heard somemore songs from Jesse McCartney's Right Where You Want Me . I LIKE I LIKE I LIKE ! I'm definitely gonna get his new CD after I heard 6 outta 12 tracks , all are so damn good .

Also heard the 3rd single from Keane's Under The Iron Sea aka Nothing In My Way . It's really nice & I also heard lead vocalist & most of the fans's fave A Bad Dream as well . Oh man A Bad Dream's so haunting yet beautiful . I like !

Was asking my cousin's wife as to which of the 4th finger you wear your wedding ring at & even though I know the answer (aka your left 4th finger) but I was surprised that she told me that wearing a ring on your right 4th finger means that you're engaged !

Really? I didn't know that , I'm not sure actually cos right now I'm wearing a triple trinity Perlini Silver ring/s on my right 4th finger & no , nobody bought it except me . This sad sod has to go personally to the store & buy a ring for herself , no guy would ever buy 1 for me *sniff*

In fact I bought another ring for myself yesterday , the same triple trinity pattern except this time the size's bigger cos the 1st ring that I bought , if I want to wear it on my 3rd finger & if I wanna take it out , it's a bit tight but this new 1 that I got , it fits on just nice.

Disney Channel showed a new episode of Totally Spies this afternoon at 3pm . Title ? Mime Your Own Business .

"The girls are sent to investigate a bizarre series of events where a mysterious man seems to be zapping victims with a strange device which makes them lose their voices. As the phenomenon gets worse, the world is on the brink of a total communication breakdown! The spies ultimately discover that the culprit behind all of this is an evil mime whose goal is to force the world to live as mimes. As the spies spring into action to try to capture the crazed mime, he uses a series of traps to keep them at bay i.e., putting them into an invisible box, forcing them to walk into a powerful wind, and other mime-esque dangers. Can the spies defeat the villain, restore their voices AND save the world from going into chaos?! In the b-story, Sam and Clover accuse Alex of not being able to keep a secret."

man wonder what will happen if this really happens in real life & I was actually looking forward to watching this but somehow I got more spooked than excited when I watched it .

just imagine if I'm able to use that evil mime's machine & zapped at Hui Lin so that she will never ever talk again & made the house so noisy ahahaha , that will be SWEET revenge

I don't know why but this has sorta like a Martin Mystery vibe to it . Similarly , after this has shown , they shown another episode of Totally Spies which's Halloween & this episode really screams Martin all over if you ask me !

Not that I'm complaining or anything cos I love both shows but I do hope that Marathon Co could stick to what they do best I suppose.

--------------------

Heard on 987 yesterday they played a trailer of Evanescence's The Open Door cos I was in the midst of listening to the weekly official top 10 chart & they aired that Lithium will be the next single after Call Me When You're Sober !

While as much as I love Lithium , I was hoping that they will release Sweet Sacrifice as the next track as it's more stronger & kick ass but I like Lithium equally as much.

& ooh looks like the wait for Gareth Gates's comeback is finally over or so . 19 Management posted a message on his official website yesterday stating that his new album will be released very soon after almost a 2 1/2 - 3 years hiatus from the scene.

Well that gotta be good news for the groupies in ggates . For me , I'm just glad that he's gonna be back & I definitely am interested in hearing his new material that's for sure. I have a feeling that it will sound good & mature coming from Gareth so in any case good luck to him.

Maggie IM'd me yesterday on MySpace with news that I didn't wish to hear but it did & needless to say , it is/was a huge blow to her . I wish I could help her but being really helpless in the relationship department area , I have no idea what comforting words to give her & all .

I suck at giving relationship advise as being someone who has never been in 1 , it's as good as asking someone to play the electric lead guitar when that person doesn't have any guitar lessons/experience to begin with !

Maggie I don't know what to say but I do hope that you can pull though whatever bullcrap you're going though . It's easier said than done I know but I feel that whatever you had/have done , you can't rewind back to the past & I guess it's a matter of time before such a thing happens to you.

& don't keep saying that it's your fault , I feel that nobody's at fault in here , it's a matter of conflict & feelings I suppose & honestly I rather you experience any heartbreak right now than later on which might be even more worst than what you're going though at this point in time.

It's unfortunate that you have to go though all this now , you're on holidays somemore ! Holidays where you supposed to have 'clean' fun & all but you're going though this , poor thing .

If you need anyone to talk to , you know what to do . I'm sorry for not being able to help much in this department :(

------------------------------------

On another lighter note , my parents will be MIA for the next few days starting tonight . Heh heh that's right , I'm gonna take over to be the mistress of the house from tonight til next Mon . Hmmm their frequent trips to Genting are starting to be a monthly event if you ask me but I'm not complaining that much.

Just hope that my paternal relatives wouldn't call & bomb my house with tons of talk telling me not to anyhow run around -.- . Run to where in the 1st place ??? I know that people are concerned about me but when you cross the line & limit , it freaks me out .

& talking about Genting , I have not been there since last June . Wah record man . Usually I would enjoy & looking forward to go there but now no . Probably cos last time whenever I go Genting , I always make a bee line to the arcade to kick ass at the games there.

But now that I found out Westmall's arcade has the same line of games as what Genting had & also the tokens are also 50 cents a pop , see no reason to go Genting anymore .

Just give me less than 2 more years then , in which I will turn 21 & can officially enter the Genting casinos legally haha . Sneaked into the place 7 times but got kicked out by the security guards 4 times :S but those times that I wasn't caught , it was FUN FUN FUN , even more fun than going to the arcade at times too . Roulette & poker rules !

The slot machines are best catered to the elderly folks haha

Was ill again yesterday on the way back home from dinner . I should have know , should not have slept too late (I only collapsed at my bed at around 2.30am !! ) & managed to pinpoint the main source to the problem :: late nights.

Maybe I should tone that portion down but hey it was all worth it so I don't mind getting ill for it haha

Thursday, October 12, 2006

wooooooooo what a great time I had yesterday with the folks of Lunarin & then some . Ahhh I had so much fun , that's after they finished their acoustic gig which was madness & fanastic !

I left the house at 5.30pm , took a bus to Takashimaya where Library @ Orchard was located , 5th floor to be precise . But before I made my way there , I went to Shaw Centre to grab something to eat aka Taco Bell . Godita Supreme rocks !

By the time I finished drinking & eating , it was already 6.25pm so I hurriedly walked all the way to Taka cos now that the underground passage linking from Wisma to Taka has been sealed up for 2 years , had to walk extra fast.

Actually Lunarin was supposed to be playing at 7.30pm but I came down eariler cos I wanted to watch their sister band The Love Experiment performing their acoustic set at 7pm & I reached at around 6.50pm or so .

Before that , I went to Perlini a while , just snooping & browsing though their stuff but nothing caught my eye so didn't waste any $ there haha.

When I reached Library @ Orchard , The Love Experiment was tuning their instruments & etc & already quite a group of people were packing the place in which you're wondering where exactly in the library , it's where the cafe was situated so yup.

Around 7.05pm , their acoustic set began & just like Lunarin , both lasted 1/2 hour or so . This's gonna sound sad but I only know 1 title from their songlist aka Orbit Around Us -.- but they're cool , I liked what I heard from them which's not a bad thing.

While most people were seated on the floor , I didn't sat & can you believe it , I was standing where the reception tables were at the far end corner ?! O.O I know bad idea & it got worst when this lady brought out 3 trays of food & laid it all in front of me cos I was resting my left arm on the table !

I still can remember what were on the trays (aka 1st tray to my left , numerous mini Oreo cheesecake ! *GASP* , in the middle , numerous sandwiches with unknown filling inside them & on the right numerous mini chocolate cake !! *DOUBLE GASP*) & they wouldn't been opened til 8pm & besides the trays , on the left , were 3 of those metal kinda stuff , the ones that you usually see in caterings & all . God I don't know how to explain it , can't find the right word to use d'oh !

Was quite tempted to rip all of them from the trays & eat the yummy looking snacks but didn't eventually haha & I resisted the temptation from eating them wheeee

When I was watching The Love Experiment doing their thang on stage , I was taking a glance & quick scan in the crowd seeing whether got any familiar faces or not & ta dah I was spot on ! I saw Tim sitting on a chair with a table full of Lunarin's mechanise at the far corner & also saw Linda , ET & Y too.

After The Love Experiment's set ended , Lunarin went on stage to set up their equipment & get ready & yup this's the part where I was waiting for cos it was the 1st time seeing them performed live so was ecastic when they started to perform .

Serenaide's violin player Natalie also went on stage too to play with them on some tracks . She was sitted on the far left , besides Linda while besides Linda was ET who sat in the centre & then Y.

When all 3 came on stage , my 1st reaction was 'eh how come everyone all wearing black ? purposedly ar ? ' . My question was answered later on when ET told me that it was pure intention that everyone wears black to show that the band's united haha

Lunarin kicked off their acoustic set with Ligeia . Great choice of song to set the mood & before that I already heard Ligeia being done acoustic cos I bought Little Pieces & there was an acoustic version of Ligeia done so yeah...

Followed by Ariel & possibly my personal fave on their debut album The Chrysalis aka Dry & man I have to tell you when I 1st heard the acoustic of Dry on their MySpace & that they allowed people to download for it , I fell for it immediately haha so when Linda told me that they're gonna do Dry acoustic , I was yay-ing away.

& unlike in the album , Natalie accompanied them on violin in here & this's the part where Linda just sang , playing her guitar a bit while Y was just strumming his guitar all along while ET just erm stared at her LOL cos he's on drums mah .

Followed by Silverpiece & they closed their set with The Chrysalis in which both tracks Natalie accompanied them on violin . In fact these're the 2 tracks that she's being featured on violin in their album . Nice touch .

Songlist :

1) Ligeia
2) Ariel
3) Dry
4) Sliverpiece
5) The Chrysalis

After their set ended , while everyone made their way to the reception , I made my way to the toilet haha cos eariler I drank waay too much tea :S so I quickly dashed outta the library & that wasn't the end of today's lineup of gigs that Stomp organised .

Supposed to be only The Love Experiment & Lunarin perform acoustic sets today but last min , they slot in a rather new local band Roulette to rock the library down like iterally so when they came on stage , I was in shock cos before that both bands did acoustic sets & then suddenly rock out til like 1 kind wah lau.

Anyway after I went to the toilet , I made my way back to the library & the 1st person I said hi to was Tim . He looked rather surprised when I knew his name & he was asking 'Karen?' & I said yup & shook his hand . Must say he looks better in person as compared to the pics being posted in his MySpace hee.

I was asking him where's Linda & the rest as at this moment it was very chaotic & everyone was getting read to see Roulette play & strangely everyone all stand ar when they started playing . Pratically everyone sat when previous both bands did acoustic sets . Weird.

Linda came walking to my direction where I was & Tim was sorta nudging her that I'm here like finally haha & she gave me a hug & thanked me for coming down aww . & man she's so pretty . She's gorgeous in pics & in person , even better sia !

Didn't saw ET & Y til later cos they were busy packing their gear & all but at this moment was looking though the mechanise that were on the table . Copies of Little Pieces (black & brown cover , only cover colour's different , content of CD's the same) & The Chrysalis , Ligeia posters & T shirts (black & white) were on sale.

I went on to buy another copy of The Chrysalis even though I already had & brought mine along , a Ligeia T shirt in black (cost S$15 but I only pay S$12 cos I got 'special' discount from Lunarin haha) & Tim gave me a free Ligeia poster woo.

Linda went on to sign the album sleeves of my copy of The Chrysalis & the other 1 that I bought on the spot , my Little Pieces discs & the Ligeia poster that Tim gave me eariler & around this time , Y walked into the library & Tim was sorta hinting to him that I'm here ahaha .

Y's rather good looking in person & I know Linda's gonna be giving me the face expression but it's true . ET looked pratically the same in person & in pics heh but he's quite tall man . He pratically towered over me like iterally & I think he got a haircut or something cos his hair's short while in the press photos , his hair was like a mini mohawk hur hur

Was pretty funny & I shook his hand too & then was asking him to sign my stuff too . ET was the last to come & he looked really (I think lah) happy when Tim introduced me to him haha but it was cool & I didn't experienced any jitters when I finally met everyone thank goodness.

Around this time , the noise in the library was getting unbearable cos Roulette was pratically tearing the library down with their music & was sibei loud . Everyone proceeded to pack up & leave & what do you know , I didn't ate anything being offered in the reception tables :) & aside from Tim , ET , Y & Linda , Natalie & Linda's cousin Ting Ren was in the group too . Including me as well..

Everyone took a long walk cos the original exit was sealed up god dammit so had to take a long way out & guess who I met outside the libary ? Fuzz my man ! & surprisely he managed to recongise me instantly . I didn't cos he looked really different as pics on his MySpace were him without his glasses cos he wear contacts so he was wearing glasses eariler & he looked kinda goofy but cool haha.

He gave me a hug & he was telling me that he had something to give me aka a copy of Phorous's EP yay :) . Talked to him a while on stuff & then some before he left with Natalie & a group of guys while I went to the car park with Linda , ET , Y , Tim & Ting Ren to put the mechanise & heavy gear in Linda's car & after that happened , Y & Tim left the car park to god knows where . What a pity cos I thought they will joined everyone for some late dinner/supper cos around this time , it was almost 9pm++ .

& before that , Linda was asking me whether would I like to join them cos it was still quite early around this time so I thought cool why not ?

After the guys left , I sat in Linda's car , ET sat in front while me & Ting Ren were squashed at the back with us holding Linda's guitar case & wah it's so big & pratically blocked my view in front.

She drove to Marriott Hotel cos initally she wanted to call an extended group of guys to go to The Living Room for some drinks after dinner/supper but that didn't materialised at the end cos everyone was so damn-ing tired but it was ok.I don't drink anyway so...

We all went to Scotts Shopping Centre's foodcourt & Fuzz & Natalie were already there . I wasn't hungry but Ting Ren was . At the end , only she ate a proper decent meal haha while Linda , ET , Fuzz & Natalie went to order desserts & being a sad sod , the only thing I could do was staring at them eating the desserts aka ice kachang & bo bo cha cha in front of me -.- . Never mind , I don't like eating ice kachang & bo bo cha cha so temptation didn't arise.

Then everyone went on talking cock like crazy . That happened eariler when Linda was driving on the way to Marriott Hotel & it was hilarious & very fun & I came to realise that Lunarin were nothing but nice people to befriend & be around with . So different from their stage personas & in pics somemore.

Whoever hates them for their music or something else , should be shot . Should let those anti Lunarin folks spend a day with Lunarin to change their mindset on these guys as they're really friendly & great to be around with . They really can tell stories & joke with people I tell you !

& f.y.i , Linda has the same phone as me ! hehe except hers's snazzy black which's damn nice lor while mine's silver . Never mind at least better than ah gua pink haha . Asked ET for his phone number in which he gave to me & then subsquently I asked Linda for Y's number too :)

We left around 10pm++ cos the foodcourt was gonna close & Linda decided to send me home as I lived quite near where Ting Ren stays in which I thought it's nice of her to do that & yeah you can imagine , more senseless talk went inside the car & I pity Y lah , so much stuff was talked about him & somemore he wasn't around so wasn't that fun at all leh.

I salute in the way that Linda was able to drive & also talk cock with everyone , she's able to multi task which amazes me even though when she was driving , got 1 idiot suddenly cut the lane she was driving & she was saying that she drove better when she was drunk than she was sober hur hur & Natalie who was sitting in the centre let out the word f-ker so loud haha

When they reached my destination , I asked Linda to let me alight at the bus stop instead of driving inside my house cos thought it was more convenient for me to just walk in as my house's in front of the main road & before I go , I thanked everyone for such a great night & they said their goodbyes to me too & next 'date' I'm seeing them will be at the LIME Sonic Bang in Dec & this time I try to drag Hui Li along as confirm they will not do acoustic but electrifying rock baby !

Should be no problem cos by then , her O levels would have finished & she will be on holidays lalala.

Well , what can I say ? I had a superb time with the folks of Lunarin , was fun finally meeting everyone in person & the after acoustic set gig experience was awesome . What a night/day to remember yay

Man now that I have 2 blogs on hand , it's a good case of once you start blogging , it will never stop & you will just keep going on & on but you know what ? it's fun & quite therapeutic in some ways or another .

While I will still blog on blogspot , blogging about pratically anything under the sun , my MySpace blog will be strictly nothing but me blogging about music & I realised that I have more things to say about music than my life & as of now , I have already done up 7 entries within 3 days since I started up my blog in MySpace .

& just now , I did up 3 entries within a 1/2 hour time lasp , go figure . I don't know , I could be wrong , maybe I will divide my time equally on blogging on here & on MySpace too . Too soon to say anything I suppose.

Couldn't sleep that well today no thanks to the damn haze which's a pain in the butt as it's pratically affecting everyone's health . For me , it's affecting my skin & causing my eczema condition to flare up .

So not good , trying my best to keep that under control & I thought being exposed to the sun was bad oh well.

Yay later on , gonna make my way down to Ngee Ann City aka Library @ Orchard to see The Love Experiment & Lunarin perform their acoustic sets woot woot & yes being a sad sod , I'm flying solo as Dila can't accompany me boohoo .

Oh well , should be fun meeting Linda , ET , Y & Tim later on tonight , just hope that I wouldn't be so clumsy & trip pratically everywhere in sight.

I watched another Disney original movie Read It & Weep just now on Disney Channel which stars real life sisters Kay & Danielle Panabaker & I must say that content wise , it's a great movie .

Basically in a nutshell , in the movie , it focus on Jamie (Kay Panabaker) , a normal high school student who writes in her own private personal journal , making up fictional characters which kinda inspired by most people around her daily life , be it her best friends , parents & students in her high school.

Jamie was a misfit in school , just like me , I'm like the most unpopular person in school . So in her journal , she created her alter ego Isabella ( her real life older sis Danielle Panabaker) or IS for short in which IS is all popular , smart & cool to be around with.

It was supposedly just for Jamie to read the contents but unfortunately she was distracted big time when she accidentally sent the contents of her journal in which everything's stored insider her tablet PC labtop to her best friend to get it printed out in conjunction with an English essay writing competition.

& overnight , Jamie went from a misfit to the most popular girl in school . So much so that her writings were published & became a book called IS Saves The World & it became the fastest selling children book & needless to say , Jamie was a huge celeb author in the making.

However , that came with a very big price . Her alter ego IS started to take over Jamie in a very very bad way , changing Jamie's character into something that she wasn't in the past.

Jamie's life started to fall apart when her alter ego took over her life & changed Jamie into something mean , horrible & ok basically , she became a bitch & everyone all turned their back against her .

Everyone including her best friends & a guy friend of hers who has been liking her secretly .

Thankfully , Jamie got things sorted out at the right place & at the right time & proceeded to ditch her alter ego IS & be the old Jamie again & as they say , they all live happily ever after or not.

Read It & Weep stuck a raw nerve on me cos even I myself can relate to Jamie & come on , confession time , who wouldn't want to be Miss Popular in school but at what price are you willing to pay ?

I know that too well . I was a misfit in primary & secondary school . I'm still am right now & back then when I was in primary school , I thought if I were to start to change for the sake of changing & fitting in to try in vain to be with the popular cliches in primary school but oh boy that came at a really costly & dear price.

I became someone that I wasn't in the 1st place until my walk up call came when I was in Pri 5 . Only then , I snapped outta it & decided that being Miss Popular at such a price is not worth it in any single bit .

Even though right now , I'm still a misfit & unofficially Miss Unpopular in my Uni class , but who cares ? Bcos at the end of the day , at least I know I'm not someone who pretends & fakes her way outta things & that I'm the real me .

Ok even though in a way or so Karen's my alter ego but at least it's the good kind , not like IS haha but still , I took a very long time to realise that being myself's the best thing that people can ask for & I'm sure it echos the same thing for Kay Panabaker's character Jamie too :)

I mean , who would want to befriend a person who wears a mask & is all fake ? I don't & neither do people appericate it.

:: Poem ::

O Mortals !
What is Love
That binds beyond life on earth ?

To all corners
in a pair we fly
Braving summer
and winter by and by

Union is bliss ;
parting is woe !
Agony is boundless
for a lovelorn soul !

Sweetheart ,
give me word ...
Trail of clouds
drifting forward ...

Amid mountains
capped with snow
Whither shall
my lonesome
shadow go ??
