& Petsociety on facebook is so fun!! xD

Treble.

Really bored. Want to try out my n52te but no one is playing dota >.<

Stupid photo where I'm closing my eyes. lolz. and Damn the mosaic sucks. I can still read the words on Terry's shirt! They were supposed to be censored... lolz. Pic taken with ShiChun at TK Band concert. Photo is his, which explains the watermark. =x REALLY GOOD CONCERT, with awesome solo by ShiChun :) Looking forward to the SP Concert, Leonard Tan's last concert! :( But yeah. He's so young la, can't believe it. Lol.

Was practising my clarinet just now, GR Selections solo part triplets were killing me. STILL ARE! But yeah. Day by day I improve so hopefully by concert I can play it ~ Eh wait what hopefully. I'd better be able to play lol.

Went on shopping spree the last few days. Spent like almost 200bucks =x But I didn't buy rubbish k! I bought my concert dress ( :D!! ), track shoes (cuz mine died), and clothes for both Christmas and New Year! So that ends the shopping for me for the next few months. Except presents of course. Speaking of presents, happy belated birthday to YANYUE, who's birthday was yesterday! Hope you had a good day dear :)

I figure its time to start studying soon. Got lots to catch up on :( RAWR. Forgot all my stuffs alr.

Zomg

Philyouth prac yesterday, followed by Philwinds concert :)

Prac was sectionals, which was pretty okay. Man, I need to practise that stupid GR Selections solo part. :( Went out with section for dinner at BK then headed down to Esplanade! Performance was FAR FAR FAR AWAY from a let down. :) Simply awesome. Enjoyed Music from Prague and Concerto for Saxophone. Vince Gnojek!! Zomg. He is like GOD of saxophone. (or one of them, at least.) Kudos to Philwinds on the excellent performance last night.

AND PHILYOUTH PEOPLE! Bunch of Pangseh-ers!!! LOL. MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT OF MY LIFE ON RECORD!!! Diploma girl and Babicue sauce and HANMING (I can't think of a name for you), stop laughing! lol. Not funny k!!! =x

Anyways, I still can't connect my phone, so like >_< no photos for you.

Post

I found this on facebook.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you may win false friends and true
enemies.
Succeed anyway.

Honesty and frankness makes one vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

People may be unreasonable, illogical, selfish and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

The people you love with your life may just leave you cold.
Love them with your life anyway.

Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got...
Anyway.




And I was thinking to myself, I'm facing all these problems that no one knows about (and never needs to know), and sometimes I never know how to pick myself up, always depending on others to cheer me up. But I realise sometimes its better to just go about life day by day, ignoring the impending doom that is one day going to befall me ( i know it! ), and try my best to not get angry at people, be more sociable, really LIVE LIFE. Its going to be really hard, I know, but I've got to try right? I hope you forgive me for all the shit that I've done so far.


And I'll never forgive myself for missing B&J's chunk fest today, but sacrifices are a part of life.

Desaru Holiday

Day 1!
So we left early in the morning for Johor! Made a stopover at Tebrau City for a bit of shopping, bought tidbits from the shops there, and stuff from Jusco. Ate lunch at Nando's, which was a restaurant kinda like kenny rogers, serving chicken. Really good chicken :) haha. K anyway, off to the hotel, The Pulai Desaru Beach. Got a nice room with a seaview! xD But but... as I was sitting on the sofa talking to my dad about something, I happened to notice something on the ceiling. It happened to be... A HUGE GRASSHOPPER (or something of the like)!! Because everyone was so scared, my dad had to chase it out =x Just as we thought it was the end of the tyranny of insects, I look down and see something running into the shadows. What else, but an evil COCKROACH! Dad had to go and get rid of it again. Zomg, scary room. I ended up sleeping on the couch cuz there wasn't enough space that night, and I got many mosquito and bedbug bites. They itch till now :( :( Well after chasing the insects we went out for dinner at the hotel restaurant, nothing amazing. It was also my mum's birthday, so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM! x)

Day 2!
First stop: The hotel pool! It was kinda small, but me and my sis had a good time. Didn't really do much there, so nothing to say. In the afternoon, we headed off to the ostrich farm!


I'm still surprised those ostrich eggs can take my weight. They must be extremely hard. o_O

Baby ostriches (few weeks old) and full grown ones. They grow up WAY fast man. 2 weeks and they are already huge! While I was there, I got the chance to try ostrich satay, and hey. WAY BETTER THAN CHICKEN, BEEF OR MUTTON. But expensive lahh. Anyway, ostriches too cute to eat. I got to feed a fullgrown one. Didn't hurt me one bit x)) I also felt faint there, and the person in charge gave me some ostrich oil and told me to smell it (it was WAY strong) and then rub the rest on my neck and shoulders. Felt better after that. But new experience lol. Its like.. ostrich oil.. o_O

Next stop, the Desaru Fruit Farm~


Apparently, they had a mini-zoo! CUTE BUNNY! x))


And a huge fishpond with an IMBA number of fish. LOOK!

Dragonfruit plants! (the leaves kinda look like aloevera) Did you know that Dragonfruit plants and Aloe Vera plants are part of the cactus family? I didn't know that =x and that's the dragonfruit flower. :)

Other plants/fruits we saw at the fruit farm! Sadly, they had a fine for picking fruit, if not I would have eaten alot of the Jambu from the many Jambu trees. They looked too good =x Had dinner at a seafood restaurant after that, at imba cheap prices. Meal cost around 60SGD, and we had 2 big lobsters, squid, oyster omelette, huge plate of fried rice shared, prawns, and some chicken (for me cuz I couldnt eat most of the stuff). A meal like that would've cost about double here in Singapore for the amount of seafood we ordered, so that was all good. Haha. Wanted to see the fireflies after that, but it was raining heavily, so we gave it a miss and knocked off early. We got to see lots of mosquitos though. Because of the rain, the blood-hungry mosquitos attacked us during dinner (ONE WHOLE SWARM!!). Thank god for my jacket.. if not I'd be COVERED in mosquito bites, and SURE to get dengue :( :(
Day 3!
Headed for the kota tinggi waterfall! Its small, but looks so chio. Like me! (zomg i didn't just say that ahaha)
I found that the man-made facilities kinda spoiled the view. There was construction going on further downstream, which caused erosion and hence muddy water downstream. Like, BOO. (but as ShiChun says, booless.blogspot.com lol, so I shouldn't be saying that.) Felt sick again, but got better after awhile =x I seem to be falling sick alot. Headed back to Johor after the waterfall, shopping all the way till the shops closed at 9.45pm. I didn't buy a single thing too :( Except bubbleyum for philyouth people :)
And so 'til I extract the photos in my phone, this'll be it for awhile. =x

Had a great time on holiday, even though it was only three days. But the various farms were fun. x)

December 03, 2008

Supermassive Black Hole

I'm back from Malaysia! xD Bubbleyum for those who asked! x)))))

I shall blog about my trip when I get the pics... :)

Time: 7.30pm

Selections from Mamma Mia!

Conductor : Mr Jovan Neo.
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...

Our song is the slamming screen doors,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real low
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...

Cause
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

Taylor Swift - Our Song


ASDASDASD. This song is super sweet x)

Chalet Pics!

Lol, chalet photos up, finally. I know I very lag, sorry! >.<

You have your own way of making me feel like the most special girl in the world.

[Reply to tag]

Egg - Hey, yeah new skin ahaha. My life is like.. quite grey now. So this suits me. Lol. And music is ♥! Lets not forget that xD

November 25, 2008

Lovebug!

I can't get your smile out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
I think about your eyes all the time
You're beautiful, but you don't even try
You don't even, don't even try
Modesty is just so hard to find

Now I'm speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless, I never thought
That I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the
Moment, I never thought that I'd
Get hit by this love bug again




Feed my addiction? No, I don't think so. It's only going to make the post event trauma even worse than it's already going to be. Today's post was supposed to be happy. But well.. things change. I THINK I'M HAVING PMS! o_O Lol.

P.S. Which ticket, $10 or $15?

Waiteng's theory: Are we going supper after the concert? If we are, save $5 and buy the $10 ticket! If we're not, then $15!

And she is also a self-proclaimed genius! :D

[Reply to tags]

YY - HAHA TY i know i'm cute ^_^ I miss you!! Have fun in London k! :D Can you buy me some chocolate while you're there? HAHA ♥
