VALENTINE's Day =)

Okay, I'm so so so so going to watch this movie. I mean like it has a whole range of star-studded cast, and they all happen to be some of my all-time favourite actors and actresses!!!!! Plus, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner are both in it. And it's really funny. The last part of the trailer left me laughing like mad. Ok, the joke's a little sick, but it works. Jessica Biel was like talking to Jamie Foxx, and she was lamenting that her only companion for Valentine's Day was her Blackberry. And she ended off "Thank God it vibrates." hahahaha... ok, if you don't get the joke, good for you too, you're really innocent. Sorry, i guess i'm just a little nuts. Haha.

Here's the full main cast of the show:

Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah, TAYLOR SWIFT, Shirley MacLaine, Taylor Lautner, Topher Grace, Jamie Foxx, Patrick Dempsey, Ashton Kutcher, Bradley Cooper, Eric Dane, George Lopez, and JOE JONAS.

It's ironic that Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift are like starring in the same movie after their not-so-clean breakup, and that Taylor Swift gets one of the supporting roles, while Joe Jonas gets to star as the voice of one of the character's dog. Yeah, pet dog. ... ... I can hear Marisol rolling her eyes going "Weird!"

Boyfriend or no boyfriend I'm so watching that movie.

P.S. I didn't post a super big trailer video for nothing...!! Please watch =) lols.

GRAH. I'm just so exasperated right now. Like argh argh argh. I still haven't got my guitar. =(
Apparently the delivery man is super late, and thus the Yamaha store doesn't have it's stock in yet, and hence, I can't buy the guitar. Damn. Damn. Damn.

It's been really long since i've last blogged, huh...? Yesterday, my family kinda went on a huge shopping spree, and gosh did we buy loads of stuff. I got a black/hotpink winter down jacket, and a pair of Columbia shoes, with hints of pink here and there. I don't know why, but i'm just obsessed with pink nowadays. Of course I'm not going to list every single thing we bought, I'm too lazy to do that, especially today, when it's raining. The sound of the rain and the cool breeze just makes me sleepy and lethargic.

I can't find a job. It's like the signs everywhere want people who are 18 years and above, and a handful being 16 years and above. It's super annoying, like totally, because I'M NOT EVEN SIXTEEN YET!!!! The wonders of being a December kid. My parents say that I don't have to work, but I want to, just for the experience (not to mention extra money). Given my busy holiday schedule, I have trouble finding a job that fits my timeline as well. Maybe I'll end up picking up the "toughest job in the world", according to Oprah Winfrey. That job happens to be a Housewife. Haha... training to be the Perfect Mom in the future. The problem? No pay. I'm thinking of maybe trying out for modelling at some local agencies, but i'm sure my parents will like object.

I just checked out both Kris Allen's and Adam Lambert's CDs. I vote Kris Allen. Seriously, Adam Lambert looks like a girl on his CD cover. I don't know why so many people like him, and his music, but he just puts me off. Besides, I've always been the country girl, so Kris Allen works more for me.

I know i shouldn't be up so late, it's like 12.21 a.m. now, and it's not as if I have any stuff to study. Just watched the American Music Awards.... TAYLOR SWIFT SWIPED OFF THE MAJOR AWARDS again! She won like 5 out of 6 of the awards she was nominated for, if i remember correctly, including Artist of the Year. Michael Jackson was also nominated for Artist of the Year, and i was kinda sitting on the fence between Taylor and MJ. Above is a shocked picture of Taylor Swift, who just got the news. Unfortunately, she was in London, and unable to attend the AMAs. Well, they got her live on video feed, though. =) Adam Lambert was there performing, and he kissed one of his performers in front of the camera. The performer was male, so it was pretty shocking. Not that I have any prejudices against gays, i think they have the right to do what they want, I think i just don't like Adam Lambert. It's strange why they didn't ask Kris Allen to perform.

I'm meeting my friend Jane tmr. She's like my best bud in Primary school... Haha. I think Joping and Lihao still remember her. I promised to help her with her make-up for her prom, so tmr we're meeting to get some makeup essentials. It's pretty much been months since i've hanged out with her... the last time being the both of us watching the movie Wildchild together. I'm thankful that she still keeps in touch with me, and makes the effort to do so. They aren't many friends like her anymore.... Like many ppl just forget you once you're in a different class or something next year. I find that disappointing and upsetting. I hope I can keep in touch with as many ppl in 4H as possible... even after like 40 years later... Hahax

I'm going to get my guitar on Wednesday. I dropped by Yamaha on Sunday, but they said stock for the guitar I wanted was only coming in on Wednesday. Another trip it is, then... I'm pretty excited about learning the guitar and all... I've read up quite abit, and all I need is the thing to practise on. I hope to at least master the beginners level, as in chords and picking, etc by the end of december. When JC starts, I doubt i'll have this kinda freedom. Below? the guitar i'm gonna get =)

ok, my eyes are shutting on me now, so i'd better be doing what i should be doing... sleeping.

xoxo.

forever and always

i've been having the worst stomach cramps today. It's absolutely killing me and no painkiller seems to work. Argh. I was supposed to go guitar shopping today, but i guessed it just has to be postponed to tomorrow. Hopefully I don't wake up writhing in pain again tomorrow morning. It's just horrid. Since I was pretty much confined to the bed today, I spent the whole day thinking about the whole year. Like from the start of this year to Graduation Night, I felt like I just dug all the memories out and played them out like videotapes. The first day of school, homework, debate, crazy stuff, my major crush, getting over the major crush (or should i say ex major crush), writing songs, mugging like crazy, shopping like mad for prom, and finally prom itself. I focused alot on Prom though, it seemed like necessary to replay every single second of that night. It's kinda weird that I can actually recall every single thing that happened, how I felt in specific moments. The look on people's faces, and stuff. I hope I never ever forget those moments.

It's sad to think that you're not going to sit in class with your classmates, popping ricola or tic-tacs into your mouth, desperately trying to stay awake and concentrate on what the teacher is talking about. It's upsetting to think that the days where we would buy canteen food and hang out at the same table having small talk about girl stuff or trying to cram last minute facts into our heads for that test after recess anymore. I'll miss the times when i'd walk home with suxue, or walk to the train station with cheng hui, and just pour our hearts out to each other. I'll think about the days where me, kharmei, suxue and calista would have instant noodles at the void deck shop outside school which has since closed, and then we would move on to get our instant noodles at the 7-eleven and just eat under a void deck table nearby. Those were the days, huh? It's funny that throughout the entire year I was wishing so hard for today to come, the end of O levels, and now that today has finally arrived, I suddenly wanna go back to sitting in that stuffy ol' classroom we can proudly call our second home, eating the school food that we used to complain about, mugging hard for the exams we used to loathe. It's almost unbelievable that all that is gone, disappeared with time, and all that is left is just these memories that I will hold on to till the end of my life.

it's a cool night, nice weather to sleep in. Looks like it's going to rain tonight. I hope it does, sometimes it's soothing to wake up in the midst of the night and just listen to the rain hit the ground and the window panes.

Taylor Swift's newly released piano version of forever and always is just simply beautiful. I worked out the chords by ear and am hoping to figure out the right hand part soon enough.

it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong, it rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone, I was there when you said forever and always.

BEST friends. FOREVER and ALWAYS.

PROM.

Pre message: If you are from 4H, please read the message at the bottom of this post. =) the BLUE one. oh, read the PURPLE one too... ok, just read the whole post.

ok, i know i had my reservations before, but PROM WAS FUN!

first and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS VERONICA for winning Prom Queen and Best dressed. I hope you're enjoying your ipod... haha... anyway, you looked beautiful last night, and you definitely, without doubt, deserved both titles. I'm so happy for you!! Congrats again=)

Su Xue is leaving for China today... She wrote me a letter yesterday, and I cried after reading it. I'm so so going to miss her, i can't believe i'm going to have to wait till next year before i can see her again. I'm meeting her later, to pass her something, it's actually a letter, and a friendship bracelet which I woke up early in the morning to make.

So, Prom was great, wonderful, fantastic, (insert all other good words you know here). Seriously, i had fun, even though i didn't have dinner... haha. We danced, laughed, snapped shots and what nots. Actually it was a pity, that we didn't have a class photo all dressed up. i'll be compiling a video, and only selected friends will get to view it... hahax. OH, and there's something important i need to ask of y'all...

ANYONE FROM 4H, IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR PROM PICS... i want to compile a scrap book of 2009, so i will need more photos. if you have any pictures of me, with me, without me, whatever, just pictures of 4H people, then PLEASE send to me. THANK YOU!!!
i'll send you my pics in exchange if you like.

ok... i have lots of picture uploading to do...

TO 4H:
thank you, each and every single person in 4H. Thank you for just being in this class, and adding colours to it, making the memories of this year, this class, all the more unique and truly ours to keep. Thank you for being such wonderful classmates. Sorry, if i have managed to offend, or make anyone of you feel upset, or awkward, even for one second, throughout this whole year. Y'all have been the best classmates ever. All of you looked beautiful and smart last night. Time just passes so quickly, and before you know it, we may soon be going our separate ways. However, THIS is NOT the end! We may be going to separate schools, and living our lives the way we want to from now onwards, but we'll forever be 4H'2009. Thank you, 4H, for making 2009 one of the BEST years of my life.

desperado

Oh My GOD. Like I spent the whole of yesterday with Su Xue, Kharmei, Kai Yan, Kai Yi, Li Hao, and Cheng Hui, prom shopping. It had to be the most dissapointing shopping trip in the entire history of my life.

Okay, the twins got their dresses, suxue got a clutch and a couple of prom unrelated stuff, kharmei got a clutch, lihao got a shawl (i think), chenghui and i walked home empty handed. I did grab Maybelline BB cream at Northpoint, but that was it. Pathetic (for me). I can swear I went to every single shop in Far East Plaza, and I still couldn't find a freaking jacket for prom, which is the only thing that I'm lacking. Wisma Atria was another fruitless trip, so I went to Isetan, i found one, but it cost 80 bucks. Crazy. It's 100% cotton, and the material was like so flimsy.

Well, we'll see, I'm going out again today, hopefully it'll be more fruitful than yesterday. I miss shopping with mom, it's like super fun. Hahax. I don't think many teenagers will say that, but i like being with dad and mom, even just talking.

Ok, i'm going online shopping. ciao =)

it's SO over.

OK, so the Big event of the year is FINALLY OVER. Goodbye Os, never come back into my life again. HAHA, it feels good even saying it.

Went for a karaoke session with Su Xue and Calista yesterday, plus dinner and a short walkabout at Causeway Point. Actually i was intending to watch Michael Jackson's This is It alone yesterday, before the plans for karaoke took over. I'm still unsure if i'm ever going to watch it, especially after reading what Veron wrote about the film. Maybe i'll just wait for the DVD or something.

In the midst of packing up my study room, and all the other areas of the house which I have colonised with my books and papers. It's shocking, to see the huge pile of papers I cleared and stacked, for the rag-and-bone man. I realised I only did about like 6-7 of all the Physics exam papers Mr Lee gave. haha... I'm giving that stack of undone physics stuff to my cousin, it'll probably give him the shock of his life. LOLs. Still there is a lot of exavation work to do, and I hope that the study room will regain it's empty look, just as it was at the beginning of the year. It's a bit weird, though, after 2 years of non-stop studying, that suddenly now you don't have to care about Maths, English, Chinese, Or Sciences at all. I mean, it's not bad or boring, just weird that suddenly, it's all just gone. But there's far from a vacuum left behind. Time to make my life, err... ok, time to create a life for myself. Now Marisol cannot tease me for having no life. Ok, ignore my dry humour.

Some entertainment news:
Taylor Swift won FOUR Country Music Awards! Yay =) She has got to be my biggest idol ever, seriously. No one celebrity has ever inspired so much in me.

Demi Lovato's new video, Remember December is out. I don't really love the song, like to me, it's just an Okaayy song, not fabulous, just Okkaaayyy. anyways, here's the vid.

Demi Lovato - Remember December - Music Video (HD)

Demi Lovato MySpace Video

Tmr's gonna be a tiring day. I'm going shopping with like SIX people, to get the remaining prom stuff. The Grad Nite programme is SUPER BORING. with 3 hours of speeches, videos and prize presentations... and only 1 hour of socialising. Argh, far different from my ideal of a Graduation night. If they were going to add all the speech and prize giving thing, i think it would be much more appropriate if they were to make us wear the dark blue robes with the square hat, not a cocktail dress. Ahh, nevermind. Maybe I shouldn't compare or complain too much.

ok, back to the mess of worksheets and books I left half sorted on the floor.

okay... i really have nothing to talk about today. Just find that my blog posts are getting more and more boring, like there is nothing else to talk about but O levels and JCs and education. Argh. A far cry from the previous laments about boy-trouble and heavy metal bands with tongue cleaners.

I absolutely cannot take in one more page of bio. I keep on either drifting off to daydream land or seriously dozing off in between chapters. i'm guessing it's because this is like the hundredth time i'm going through my bio notes, and seriously, i'm getting really tired of staring at the same words again and again. Probably i'll just finish all the 5 yr series mcq I have, and call it quits.

Over the past few days, I've suddenly become like over-obsessed with prom. Haha, like thinking about what my friends will wear, what the place will look like, what hair I should get, should I go with or without makeup, how and what time i'm gonna get to school and what nots. Kinda hoping in the sidelines that maybe the Jonas Brothers will gatecrash our prom and walaah, we have our live band =) hahaha... totally, absolutely, definitely impossible.

I cannot wait anymore... just GIVE me the freaking last 2 O level papers, and let me get them OVER and DONE WITH!!!!

Fort Hood. Remembered.

Most of you should have heard about the bloodshed at Fort Hood. It's sad, that these brave men and women died, before they could discover the many more years ahead of them. I pray for them, their families, their friends. May they rest in peace. One of my friends, Derrick is going to serve the US Army soon. A patriotic act, yes, but sometimes as friends we can be a little selfish and wish he would reconsider. Sometimes all these stuff, like war, killings, violence, starvation... makes you doubt the presence of God. Sometimes it causes you to wonder, why can't He stop all these? Why can't He shine His light on the people out there who need it so much more than we do? I wonder what a peaceful world would be.

everyone's buzzing about prom now. Orchid Park Students have it way better than us, they have their prom at Holiday Inn Parkview. Mann!! I hope for our Prom they don't create a giant statue of the Oscar Figurine, like they did in their sketch. The first time I saw that, i thought it was one of the weird statue things you see on Easter Island.

Okay, gotta go now.

THREE more to being FREE

That's right... it's just going to be THREE more paper ones. The O levels just passed like a heavy storm cloud, that didn't even rain on us. Okay, bad analogy. Anyways, I'm just soo soo damn glad the worst is OVER. This O level period has been pretty mundane, just studying and all. I couldn't put my mind to studying Bio at all yesterday... I just kept on thinking and daydreaming of the thousands of things that I would finally be able to do once this is all over. Like Prom shopping with BFFs, playing the guitar, whipping up dinner for the family, painting, sketching a few dresses and singing crazily at the top of my voice to Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Jonas Brothers, Michael Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Boys like Girls, Backstreet Boys.... okay, the list is never ending.

I'm still searching for prom stuff. I don't want to like totally stand out from the crowd, just be unique, but at the same time not blend in too well that no one notices, like i've become part of the walls. I need bracelets, earrings, makeup, BB cream, bling-bling=) (haha), tonnes of bobby pins, a clutch, a jacket and to get rid of the stupid acne and panda eyes (that were part of the O level stress and sleep deprivation package). I simply cannot wait to go shopping for the stuff I need! Oh, and I need to exercise. Definitely. I haven't been doing that for like 2.5 months, which is BAD.

scooting off, to play some games and check out more guitar prices. A Yamaha I shall get.

CHEERS!

it's almost over...!!

this spoof video by Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato and friends made me laugh throughout the O level period... I'd thought I'd share that... hahax. Bounce!

YAY. YAY. YAY.

one more Biology paper 2, and the rest's okay. Can't wait till after O levels. The first thing I'll do is settle my prom stuff, the second thing is to get a guitar and a how to play a acoustic guitar for dummies book. After much research, I've decided to get a Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, a.k.a an acoustic country or acoustic folk. It'll suit the type of music I wanna generate. At first I was so bent on getting a Taylor Guitar. That brand is really good, like most of my friends have that brand, or the Gibson... but it's SO expensive. Like 700 -1000 dollars plus. So I've decided to get either a Yamaha guitar, or a Suzuki. They are like so much more affordable. The quality or overtone won't be the same, of course, but wait i'd better till i learn how to play it well first, before the splurge on a Acoustic Taylor, then a Electric Gibson. Muahaha!! Lols. =)

Geog Paper was quite okay, not like the N level paper. Duck head. Argh... Physics was so much easier than expected! I was overjoyed when I saw the paper. I think I have pretty good chances of a B3 or an A2. Yay! no more stuck in B4.

Nutshell? Today was good. Not fantastic (that would be the last day of Os) but good. =) Ok, i'm just going to grab dinner now... i'm FAMISHED.

Week Two

Week one of the O levels passed like a whoosh. I still can't believe I don't have to bother about maths anymore. For the rest of the year, at least.

I feel like my mind is constantly drifting away from revision. Hell, I spend more time thinking about what I'm going to do after I get my life back, rather than worrying about exams. In fact, I'm not even worried that it's the O levels. It's so damn weird. Flashback to the Prelim days, when i would even cry and panic when I couldn't finish my revision. And Now? My mentality is like nothing great is happening. Like I'm just sitting for a little class test. I'm not even taking the Os seriously, until the day before a certain paper, that is. My dad says its good that I feel that way, like i'm not stressed out or such, but I find me strange.

Social studies paper today was okay for me, I think that i'd be pretty safe to assume that I would get at least a B3 for my comb. humanities, since i'm intending to focus more on Geog than Physics for today and tomorrow (Sorry Mr Lee...). The Chemistry paper was a walker, like it wasn't too tough or too easy, just nice.

I've decided to stay in Singapore for JC education. A levels can't be that bad, right? I'm trying to please my mom here, but, I don't know if this is really the best arrangement. Still unsure of stuff. I just hope to get into an average JC. Nanyang's the best choice for now, it's quite near, given the circle line, and there's affiliation points. Anderson is a straight no-no, unless they demolish the school building and build a whole new campus by next year... which is impossible. The fans in their classrooms are hanging by wires, their canteen looks run-down, and their lecture theatre tables are in desperate need of screws.

11 more days countdown, 6 more papers. Hang in there everyone, it's almost over. We already can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
