~~If i were a boy~~ BLUEK! Stupid song. If you're a boy in singapore, you have to go and join NS already.

Hello,


Finally. MSTs are over. Flunked my plant design and bio. I can tell. I'm banking on my maths, chemical reaction, fluid mech and maybe environmental to be good. Hopefully.


So sad la. No one was free except for hanafi and fir. So went home instead after eating Mega McSpicy in school. Yummay. And i was looking forward to play PET-SOCIETY. But it was under maintenance! And it still is!! Okay, I'm stupidly addicted to pet-society. Like a mixture of neopets and habbohotel liddat. Gosh... i just remembered i spent so much on habbohotel and GE cards la. Confirm spent above $300 already! With that amount i could get a Ipod Nano already man..


My heart tells me to get this.. But my pocket says otherwise. =(


It's SO JUICILY SEXY LA!!!

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

Oh and i removed my tagboard. I figure if no one, except for a few people, wants to write on it, then might as well i take it off.


Hope this won't affect anyone or whatever.


Bye~~

Hey.


Laptop is back~~ Woke up from coma. Life without internet access is... boring. Maybe i should name my laptop.


And for PS, Kenneth and Vin,


Today i wanna blog about my friends. They are very ______ loh! Like _______ liddat. So _________. Every time _______ around with ________.


For the past few days, those 3 seem to be more interested on updating my blog more than me la.


Awww. So sweet to know you guys care for me so much. Heartwarming. LOL. =P


Bye.

Hello,


For some unknown reason, I'm like finally paying attention to PLANT DESIGN! WOHOO!


OK bye.

Cold Turkey.

Hello,


Blogging from school. Plant design sucks.


So my laptop is dead. Pressed the on button, laptop running, but the screen shows nothing. Probably a hard-drive problem. GAH!


No MSN. No Internet. No music. No gossip girl. GAH! Might as well kill me la.


and don't expect any post for a few days from now on. Laptop is in hospital. =)


Bye.

The boy with the moodswings.

Hey.


I may be a little petty and "short-fused" sometimes. Guess kenneth is right. I must really look into the situation before i go around accusing people. And I'm tired of playing detective. Coz it's like MY words against THEIR words. I say something, you may think it's a lie. And you say something, and i may think it's a lie. It's never ending.


The report has already been marked. No use crying over spilled milk. Lesson learnt. And i was feeling moody and PMS-sy on that day too. So the whole incident wasn't helping me either.


And gosh.... All i ever blog about these days, is either talking about school or band la. I need a life. =X


Bye.

All the clever things i should say to you.

Hello,


Grumpygrumpygrumpy. A big SORRY to the people i pissed off and shouted to during plantdesign class. As usual, i didn't understand a single word what that ah pek was talking about again. And i can't stand his disgusting so called "goatee" man. There are like a few long strands of hair on his fat double chin. I'm like so tempted to push him to one corner, and pluck it off with 2 five cent coins la.


And after that, i had to go to chemical reaction practical debriefing. And Ms Yang said that a part of our report was similar to someone's group report. And i straight away knew who was the idiot. I gave my report to that idiot coz that idiot said he "just want to know the gist" of the report and even claimed to be the "King of Paraphrasing". Yeah rite. MS YANG NOTICED THE SAME SPELLING MISTAKE WE MADE in that other group's report.


And i kept our convo history mind you. So stop denying. You'll just look like a fool.


A big FUCK YOU to you. You know who you are. And I'm expecting an apology. For lying and degrading my group's report and marks.


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


On a happier note, I finally got Crisis Core from liqin! Thanks~~ =)) The graphics looked awesome. I predict........ a spanking good time for the next few days. At least.


And another thing. Today XinNi told me that for the fluidmech formal report, the things i need to do are synopsis, objective, appendix, conclusion and all the small stuff. And i have mixed feelings la. Coz a part of me felt like the rest of the girls think I'm incapable of doing other bigger parts. But a part of me felt happy coz i don't have to do that much work.


Aiya dunno la. Borrowed Franz Ferdinand and a 70's compilation cd to make me feel better. =(


Ciao

Hello


I'm having muscle-aches all over man. Went to the gym yesterday. Last time i went to the gym was a year ago i think. With jeffy and the girls. And now just lifting my arm hurts like hell la. And i didn't know there was a Jacuzzi in the graduate's guild. So after working out, we dunked ourselves in the Jacuzzi and chillax. I also tried the sauna and the steam room. Steam room damn syiok la. I wonder.... what if i farted in the steam room. Would it be called a wet fart? haha.. Haih....


Then after which i had band practice. And i was already half dead then. Even Rebbecca noticed i wasn't being my "happy" self. LOL. Ouh and i hate the new seating arrangement. Tubas have to seat in the middle la. With the trumpets behind us. Deafening lo. Sien..


Less than 2 weeks till MST. And after MST's there will be MD concert. And after MD concert there will be the band fest. Weee~ Looking forward.


Bye.

Hey.


I skipped school today. 1/2 lazy, 1/2 sick. I felt nauseous again. Everytime i sit up straight, i feel like vomiting. This nausea thingy has been going on since last week man. On and off.


School sucks these days. I don't fucking get it why i have to learn bioanalytics. I'm in chemical engineering and NOT Biological Engineering or whatever. I hate bio! No offence to bio-lovers out there. I JUST HATE BIO!


AHH!! Grumpy.


Bye.

Hello.


Im so effing tired. But i try to update.


Today bad luck day for me. I wanted to crash fir's GEMS today. But the stupid lecturer chased me out. So malu. I mean c'mon la. I won't like run around the class in my underwear or something.. Does it hurt to let me stay and watch a freaking movie??


Then after sectionals today, i banged my head in the train. Was at jurongeast and i was the last few ppl who boarded the train. Then i was walking to an empty seat then suddenly got this aunty shoved me aside and RAN to that seat. CCB. My first encounter with a fucking kiasu aunty. Then i just heck care la. Coz fighting with aunties is just not my thing. So after that i went to stand beside the door. Dunno what happen i just banged my head against the glass.. SO PAISEH. Got this ah beng laughed at me la!


Today sucked. My english too.


BAI.

Hello


Im now "high" on Metro Station.. The type of "high" when i listen to bands like onerepublic and maroon 5.


Im hiigggggghhhhhh~


Bye.

Hello,


Updating about my boring life.


Today was okay. Some unpleasant times. But manageable. We had 2 hours break. And the guys had a PILLOWFIGHT! In some room at T7. LOL. There was a lot of pillows and we had the room to all to ourselves. Just chillax in there for 2 hours...


Had a random dinner with Xin Ni today at CWP's KFC... I was craving for KFC for a looong time. And i finally got to eat it! Haha. I sound like a pregnant woman man. And after dinner i accompanied her window-shop.. I saw this pants at Giordano which is soooooo nice! But too bad la. My money not in yet. And note hor! XinNi and Me are not a couple. We are good friends since secondary school. She already has a boyfriend, and i already have a pet gorilla. And we're both happy. So shadup.


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


I'm going for the JC-Poly band festival thingy! Band-heads from different JCs and Polys will unite to fight the forces of EVIEL ~!! No la........................... People from different bands just come together to make music and friends. The thing about this band festival which attracted me most is that we get to perform in ~ESPLANADE~. I've never performed in ~Esplanade~ before. So it's kinda of a big thing for me at least. It's not like everyday i get to play in ~Esplanade~. So why not seize the opportunity. Hehe.


And pronounce Esplanade as "Ass-Play-Nah-Dey" people! It just sounds more high-class.


Speaking of band, SP band will be having a concert on 17th December at Victoria Concert Hall. Tix are at $12 i think. It is on a Wednesday. SP Alumni Band will be playing too. Pieces that we are going to play are:


by SP Alumni Band
Wedding Dance
Japanese Graffiti XII
Imagine


by SP Main Band
The Fairest of the Fair
The Sound of Music (Medley)
James Barnes' 3rd Symphony


The 3rd Symphony is the highlight of this year's concert. The whole movement lasts 40+ minutes long. And it's a really boring dreadful artsy-fartsy song. I just like the tuba solo. Heh. So you better pee before you sit in to listen 3rd Symphony.


3rd Symphony for me, is the toughest song i have ever played. So you better come down for this concert! Don't let my hard work go to waste... hehe..


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


Okay enough of blogging. And i'm BOUND to make grammatical/spelling/wadever mistakes. I've gotten C6 for my engrish dammit! So stop wasting your time picking out english mistakes which DOES NOT MATTER to me whatsoever. Life is too short. Go shopping instead.


Bye.

Haih.


From one problem to another. This sucks.


Today, Tuesday 4th November 2008, is not my fucking day.


Bye.

Hello.


It's 4pm now and im in the school library blogging! I'm supposed to have my plant visit at 3.15pm. And i was freaking late. Coz i was playing my psp diligently until i lost track of time. And now i have to go with 03 next week.... GAH!!! I feel so freakin pissed off now. But i have to say it's my own fault. Pracrastinating isn't a good thing. JLFBljhfakf


Bye.

Hello.


I've been catching up on my Dexter this weekend. It's a really great series ppl.


For once, a serial killer is actually the protagonist(hero) of the story! Hurray! Since young, Dexter already has the urge to kill. And when his dad sees this in him, he decided to train Dexter to kill for the right reasons. The story revolves around Dexter balancing his "hobby", his work as a forensics officer and his relationship with his clueless GF who is expecting HIS baby.


Another great show to add into my "Must-Watch" list. LOL.

Monday: Gossip Girl, Heroes
Tuesday: Prison Break
Wednesday: -Break-
Thursday: -Break-
Friday: Survivor
Saturday: -Break-
Sunday: Ugly Betty, Dexter


Yes. My life is meaningful.

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

A lot of school work has yet to be done... =( Maths tutorial nope. Chem reaction report nope. Bio nope. Read-up fluidmechanics prac nope... Need to slap myself real hard to stop myself from slacking!

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

Officially using the Gold tuba from now onwards. Reason being the silver tuba is like 2 times the weight of the gold one. And I'm really tired of it. A CHANGE IS NEEDED! All i need to do now is to get use to the tone of the gold tuba and the 4th valve. =)


Bye~

Hello.


TGIF. The end of week 3. I've finally gotten God Of War and DJ Max from Maggie!! Thanks Mag! =)) God Of War is awesome!! Fear the ghost of sparta bitches! LOL. And DJ Max is IMPOSSIBLE for someone who has sausages for thumbs like me. I just can't get pass level 5!! GAH!


Well i must practice to reach to Maggie's standard. HAHAHA.


Sectionals tomorrow. And i think I'm using the gold tuba for the concert. =S


Bye.

Hello!


School resumes. I miss the 3 days break already. =( How i wish there is 3 days of weekends instead of 2! 1 day to rest. 1 day to go out with family. And 1 day to go out with friends.


The malay food at foodcourt 2 is sucha ripoff! 1 rendang, 1 breaded fish, 1 fried egg costs freakin $3.20! And the only meat i saw was beef rendang and lamb rendang! And a mountain of ikan bilis for gawd knows wad. Okay la it's for Nasi Lemak. But the choices of sides are ridiculously limited! GAH! I'm sticking to foodcourt 1 and 3 for my malay food from now on. Unless i feel like eating Nasi lemak! =)


And i think that my timetable is not that bad. We end at 12 on tuesdays most of the time. I also end at 12 on wednesdays. So okay la.


Bye.

I've lost my ~Mojo~

Hello my loyal readers.


OK! I have nothing to write. I've been typing a sentence and "backspacing" it for a full 5 minutes! =( I guess my life is borrriing. Come to think of it, i havent go out to town or anywhere ever since school started! Just that once where i went to queensway with the usuals..


GAH!! I need a life.

Hello,


I skipped school today. Felt really bad this morning. It felt like someone tied a freakin bass drum around my head. And my nose!! Don't get me started la.

Feel much better now. Thanks to excessive hours of sleep and 2 panadol extra pills. Going to school tomorrow. Can't afford to skip another day man. You'll miss alot on studies.


Bleah

Hello,


I'm down with the flu. Feel so wasted man. Like very weak kinda feeling. Every time i sit down or lay down on my bed, i sure feel like going to sleep. I've already slept from 2 to 6pm just now. And I'm still sleepy. =(


Gah! Don't feel like going to school tomorrow.


Bye.

PSP 2000(slim) vs. PSP 3000

Hello.





The only "huge~" difference is the built-in mic and the anti-glare screen. Plus other aesthetic upgrades.


Any regrets getting the red psp slim when PSP 3000 just recently released? Answer is NO. Coz nothing beats the smexy red man. =)


Bye.

Berhenti Berharap


aku tak percaya lagi
dengan apa yang kau beri
aku terdampar di sini
tersudut menunggu mati

aku tak percaya lagi
akan guna matahari
yang dulu mampu terangi
sudut gelap hati ini

aku berhenti berharap
dan menunggu datang gelap
sampai nanti suatu saat
tak ada cinta kudapat

kenapa ada derita
bila bahagia tercipta
kenapa ada sang hitam
bila putih menyenangkan

aku pulang, tanpa dendam
kuterima kekalahanku
aku pulang,tanpa dendam
kusalutkan kemenanganmu

kau ajarkan aku bahagia
kau ajarkan aku derita
kau tunjukkan aku bahagia
kau tunjukkan kau derita
kau berikan aku bahagia
kau berikan aku derita

rebahkan tangguhmu
lepaskan perlahan
kau akan mengerti semua


--------------------
My direct translation of it. LOL


Stop Hoping


I don't believe anymore,
In whatever u give
I'm stranded here
waiting to die(?)

I don't believe anymore,
the use of the sun
that used to light up
my dark heart

I've stop hoping,
and waiting for darkness to come
until the time
where i wont get any love (WTF!)

Why is there sorrow
when happiness is made
Why is there black
when white is soothing(???)

I return, without revenge
I accept my loss
I return, without revenge
I salute to your triumph

You taught me happiness
You taught me sorrow,
You showed me happiness
You showed me sorrow
You gave happiness
You gave me sorrow

Collapse your stairs(??)
Let is go slowly
You will understand all.



I guess the phrases with (???) with them are just metaphors? This is what happens when a B4 olevel malay student do translations. K lah, I'm just bored. I have nothing to do, so i blog! HAHAH.


Sheila on 7 is just one of the veryveryvery few malay/indonesian bands i listen to. Other than that. I DON'T listen to malay music. Coz i think, most malay songs are about love... and more LOVE. Why can't they just sing about being happy??? Or about rainbows and butterflies?? Or sing about going to the market and getting lontong or something?? LOVE, LOVE and more LOVE! Gah. I'd rather die in my own barf la.

Everyone's a sadist... even by a little.

Hello,


Recent drama in class of 01. Very interesting. With Mr F desperately finding a clique to join. You see, I've seen Mr F true colours since the 2nd semester of my year 1. And i dislike him ever since. Then many people ask why i drop my friendship with Mr F. And i have to explain the whole story over and over again. And now I'm really glad people seen the real him for themselves.


I'm not that petty la. I will hate someone ONLY when there is a reason to hate. Other than that, I'm just bitching or just having fun. LOL. But NOT hating. Coz hate is a very strong word. Need to use sparingly. Like Butter. Coz Butter is unhealthy. Therefore the equation is,


HATE = UNHEALTHY


That's why i use it sparingly. But~,


BITCHING = FUN


Thus, need to be done more. =)


Band later! BOMP BOMP BOMP!

Hello.


Already mod-ed my PSP! Now my train rides won't be as boring as it used to be. Currently playing Metal Gear Solid, NFS carbon, and PATAPON! I think i will try out Fifa 09. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of soccer. Or football if you think soccer is too americana... And i will try not to neglect my Zen Neeon! My Zen Neeon has been with me through the darkest times man! Ever since i bought it with Jeffy. I LOVE YOU ZENRAIDAH!


I have not talk much about school. Well... I think the lecturers this sem are ok... I still haven't meet 2 of them. And this sem, there are 2 modules which involves LAW! Eeeew. One is about the environmental law in singapore. And the other is about real estate laws for my GEMS. And the reason why i took real estate marketing is because my senior said it was easy and i blindly heed his advice. HAHA. Oh wells... But i like suits la... Other than that i think law is not my cup of vanilla latte with whip cream and a drizzle of caramel.


Okok. That's my update. Need to get started on my school stuff. =)


Bye.

Hello.


The Sexy Psp.



The Stupid Owner.


I was sooo hyped up about getting the psp, i forgotten that it needed TO BE MODIFIED to play downloaded games. And CC don't allow any mods in their shop. And now, all i can do is to add songs, add movies, stare at it for hours and fiddle with it till it gets mod.


*MEGA FACE PALM*


I hope the dingy gameshop near my house do mods. PLEASE!

Semester No. 4 Movement 0.1

Hello,


School tomorrow. My 4th semester in Singapore Polytechnic. I betcha tomorrow is going to be filled with breifings and introductions. I PRAY that my lecturers wont turn out to be like made-in-shit YuenLing or Kon. And i'm a little sad that Hanafi and Fir won't be around that much. =(


And i'm getting my PSP tomorrow. I'm still not sure what colour to get.. =/ It's either going to be white or red. HOW?? RED or WHITE?? No black pls. I have too much of that.. And my bro's psp is black.


Bye.

5N1 Hari Raya 2008

Hey!


Today went out with 5N1 for Hari Raya outing. This year was a bit special coz transportation was AWESOME! We had 2 cars. Hadi and Naj drove. And i have loads of fun!


I love 5N1!! Sartesh and Jovan was there in Baju Kurung. Mel was there too. We were freaking multi racial la.


And i still remembered the "O" levels results day. EVERYONE in 5N1 wore our striking orange class tee. While the rest of the sec 4's and 5's wore the boring school uniform.


Haih~ It's been already 2 years since we left AI. And we still going for class outings. =))))) This is what i call undying class spirit man! One which is hard to find. And one which is built over 5 years. Everyone accepts everyone for who or what they are. GAH!


Bye.

The Hills Are Alive

Hey,


YAY! We're playing The Sound Of Music for our upcoming concert! So excited! Here's the video. It's played by an orchestra but the arrangement is the same as what we are going to play in concert.


Part 1




Part 2




I know it's a bit long. But if you're a music fanatic like me, it's WORTH IT! And the orchestra is awesome.


Haih~ Now I'm going to irritate big momma by singing The Sound of Music~~ right by her ear. LOL.


BYE.

That little black jacket

Hello,


Was window -"online"- shopping. I checked out RiverIsland coz A LOT of people are talking about it. Yes I'm a suaku la. Admitted. The red sneakers they sell are quite famous i heard coz it's cheap. =/ But i saw this jacket and its soo nice la. Plus i need to "invest" in a jacket for future formal occasions. Like concerts or job interviews and whatever. Well that's what my sis said la.



GAH! I want this! Slim-cut, one-buttoned blazer. Every girl needs at least one little black dress in their wardrobe, but every GUY needs a little black jacket in theirs. lol.


I also need a to get a simple polo-tee which actually fits me.


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


I need to start saving up for my future. I want to further my studies. Apparently i can't do anything chemical related in SG anymore. So the next option is going overseas. And i heard rumours that overseas education will be costly. So save for the future!


Lol. This is so random.


Bye.
