Om nom nom

Back at home after 20mins in school after finishing Radio skills test. What is life. It was kinda easy and Mr Guo didn't even bother to mess up the controls for me LOL.

Chomp*2 and Dessert Bowl with Stef, Rach, Jon, Keith and SL yesterday was really awesome. What is better than having fun and stuffing yourself with food, surrounded with the most precious people evar! I love food. I really do.

Fatness overload!


Durian mousse! WOOHOO!


Chiobuuuuuuu


The only successful group pic


Stef's really proud of this!



Really nice to be able to chill after two long weeks. Ba Chor Mee at Block 85 on Tuesday! Can't wait!

Sigh, gotta prep myself for yet another hectic week ahead! CCC and MTV Broadcast and I've not started on my script. Oh well, at least on Tuesday, I can have two burdens lifted off my chest. Honestly can't wait!

Contemplating if I should cut my hair to this length:

Hahaha what is this ancient shit?! But seriously it was much easier to manage. But I probably won't cut. Lol.
Need to get contacts pronto too! Okay I'm starting to sound really vain. Heh.

Currently watching a Korean drama called Dream High and it has IU inside (the only reason why I started watching) and she is beyond cute inside. I love her so much!!

Shall continue soon. But till then, have a great weekend everyone! TGIF! :)

Haru Haru

Day by day, the same thoughts run through my mind.
Day by day, I ask myself if what I do is enough.
Day by day, I yearn for attention and recognition.
Day by day, I wonder if those around me care.
Day by day, I dream.

Ignore me.

Anyway..


This is honestly one of the most amazing live performances ever. G-Dragon, you are a genius.


This too. I'd never thought that Taylor Swift could touch me so deeply.

A Message to Paul DiGiovanni

HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY PAUL DIGIOVANNI.

"You are 23 and invincible
Had the world figured out and a bird on your shoulder
Saying everything's gonna be alright
And everything's gonna be alright"


The first time I saw you was about a year ago, 28th Jan. It was so surreal and I really wished I could have been in the first row just in front of the stage.

Somehow, in my impression, you have always seemed much older than me. Probably because of K-Pop where the younger are all really really really young. It just dawned on me that you are just 4 years older than me.

I'm really thankful that Boys Like Girls got into my life. My life was complete when I met you, Martin, Bryan and John. BLG's music never fails to get me through my depressing spells.

Since it is your 23rd birthday, here are 23 things I love about you:

You have an amazing smile which makes me smile too.
You have awesome hair.
You are really tall.
You look really cool on motorcycles.
You are an awesome guitarist and it inspires me greatly.
Your tweets are interesting and they make my day.
You have an awesome sense of humour.
You have an amazing harmonizing voice although you hate it.
You make the effort to connect with your fans.
You work hard to improve.
You are really loving.
You are overflowing with charisma.
You are doing what you love, and you excel in it.
You have fun.
You can go really crazy and do not care how others think.
You remain modest and humble and do not get arrogant even with the band's success.
You are genuine.
You are really young, the baby of the band.
You think maturely for your age.
You threw your guitar pick and I caught it.
You and the rest of BLG are really close.
You love your fans.
You are everything that makes Paul, Paul.



I wanted to contribute to this video but I didn't have time at all. :(
But awesome job to fuckyeahpauldigiovanni for compiling everything together.

#happybirthdaypoolie. I love you, Paul DiGiovanni! ♥

Friends

Best friends are like two people in a relationship, except without the physical attraction.

Thanks to all the wonderful people around me who are always there, you let me know that you cared.
Thanks to all the fucked up people around me, you made me go through and experience life the hard way.
Thanks to all the awesome people who complimented me, you made my self-esteem grow.
Thanks to those who left, you showed me that nothing lasts forever.
Thanks to those who stayed, you showed me the meaning of true friends.
Thanks to those who entered my life, you made me who I am today.

Fucking love my friends.

But sometimes, I can't help but feel insecure about certain things that are going on. I feel so confused. I feel like I don't belong. I feel like I should just back out.

I get jealous and envious really easily. Probably that's why I am feeling like that. And mind you I'm really sober and awake now at 9 in the morning.

Hahahaha okay don't mind me I'm just being random.

Meanwhile. A song. Love in the Ice was the song that made me know about DBSK. I love it. And take a listen to this orchestral arrangement! Epic shit.

I've been looking for you

Spent the whole of today during Radio Assignment 3 and boy am I glad that I finished it. I swear this is the longest time I have ever taken to do an audio production. But seriously? The 4min10sec production that I produced is sleep-inducing. Ugh I can't even listen to the whole thing without feeling absolutely bored. I hope it is enough for me to get at least a B though. Have been getting so many Cs it is starting to get slightly depressing. On another note, thank you so freaking much Stef for lending your MacBook to me! Love you my lil kou rou bao! <3

Rach and Keith came over to do radio as well and of course we got distracted. What do you expect when there are two Macbooks around? Picture spam coming up. Photobooth completes our lives.

Love this pic!

So glad that I had them as company. Never get bored with my happy people. Spazzing with Rach is always relevant.

Tomorrow's schedule for me is fully packed. Going to Stef's place in the morning to return her Macbook (awww I will miss it), gonna meet Vanessa in the afternoon for Hebe's autograph session! So stoked to be able to see her again! For the fourth time I think lol. After all that fun and getting starstruck I will be back at home writing my journal for The Joy Luck Club. Movie's alright but it could be more fast-paced. I was falling asleep omg. But honestly I have no idea what to write. Sigh time to take out notes.

Gonna crash now! Take care guys. Monday is coming again so let's prep ourselves for yet another hopefully less busy week! Saranghae!~

My Life in 2010

2010 was definitely a memorable year for me. At least, it feels so much better than 2011. This year's turning out to be a wreck and I absolutely hate it.

Anyway, I am thankful that I lived through the last year of the first decade of the new millennium.

For starters, I got closer to a bunch of friends that I know I can always count on whenever I need them.


I'm glad that I started going out with all of you. Be it the afternoons where we'd just go chill, or do something exciting and fun, I will remember them all. On days where I get all emotional, y'all will make me feel better. I can't even stand my own ranting sometimes so your patience is greatly appreciated! Thank you guys, for making my life in TP so much more bearable! And to two really important people, Stef and Rach, both of you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything, especially my nonsense LOL I know I have said this a million times but one more time won't hurt. :)

I went for my first ever English rock band, Mandopop and K-Pop concerts. (aka I went over to the dark side when I listened to Lucifer)




Boys Like Girls were really epic live. Being able to see Martin, Paul, Bryan and John was so surreal and I'm really looking forward to going for their next concert in Singapore, which I hope will be soon. And this time, I WILL BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAGE.

S.H.E's concert was probably the most meaningful one I went for. They were the artistes that I have been supporting for the longest time and they will always have a special place in my heart. I was really glad to have been present at the concert, after missing the first two they had here. And the news of Selina made me believe even more that I had made the right decision to go for it. I sincerely hope that Selina gets well as soon as possible. I really miss her very much and I hope she stays strong like she has been. With hope, one day, I just might see all three of them on stage again.

K-Pop Night was awesome, especially since I had Rach to go with me. I think we are great concert partners hahahah. Can't wait for this year's! It'll definitely be more epic. I just know it! Hahaha. Next up, Taylor Swift's concert! :D Contemplating if I should go join the Taylor Swift competition. Hahaha.

SYF/SIBF with TK Band.

Being able to participate with TK Band in SIBF was definitely fun. Being able to help out in the practices on their road in practicing for SYF was indeed enriching too. Seeing my juniors work really hard, although they may not be satisfied with the results, reminded me of myself when I was still in the band. They were like a reflection of myself. Nostalgic whenever I go back. Love my juniors so much, really. I hardly visit now, though. Shall find time to go back.

NBC, performances and concerts with TP Band.


Being Band President has been stressful but at the same time, fulfilling. Working with my main comm was exciting. Well it helped that we worked well together. Gonna choose the new comm soon and I won't deny that I can't wait to hand the baton over to the next batch so I can focus on other things! Hahaha. And to my section mates, we definitely have had lots of fun and let's make it continue that way! :D

I started learning the guitar.

I have Eudora to thank for this. I got inspired by her to take up guitar after seeing her play it at Rachel's birthday. I thought it was really cool because I always had the stereotypical perception that guitars are better played by guys but it was proven that it is nonsense. Bought my guitar on 19th March and it is definitely one of the things I possess that I take more care of.

As proud as I am that I can play many instruments, it kinda dawned on me that I was only 'okay' at all of them. Sigh I need to work harder to master my playing. By the way I am really excited at the prospect of getting my AT2020 condenser mic! It will definitely make my recording more enjoyable. In addition to that, I recently found an audio software called Soundforge and it is much better than Audacity. Should make use of that often. In the meantime, I shall continue writing songs and I hope that I can write better songs with nicer melodies and less cheesy lyrics. I need to improve my vocab pronto! On a more positive note however, I'm glad that my Poly friends liked the song I wrote for them. My first ever composition will be a hit! Hahahaha. Maybe when I get equipment I can record a full band version. That'd be really awesome.

I celebrated my birthday, Christmas/New Year with people who care.

My December was really awesome. Totally enjoyed 5th December and I'd sincerely like to thank Rachy again for organizing it all! I was touched but I guess I was having too much fun to cry LOL. Not really sure how to react after a decade of not celebrate my own birthday. Hahaha.

12th December was awesome too. Met up with my TK Band French Hornists after a really long time. Miss them too much. It is really cool how after not meeting each other for such a long period of time, we still can poke fun and insult each other without anyone feeling offended. Now THAT is real bond. :)

Our Christmas-cum-New Year party was really awesome too! It was the first time I celebrated Christmas and boy, am I glad that the date was changed so I could make it. Thank you so much Keith, and of course his trusty secretary, Rach! Thank you to everyone who was there too. Though we probably had a tad too much to drink, we all still had fun and it was definitely and awesome way to end off 2010. Let's have it every year! But of course, going easy on the drinks this time.

My resolutions for every year is to work harder academically but it never works out, however, I shall set that resolution again, seeing that my current marks are quite depressing. Another resolution will be to watch my diet because of the current condition of my body. Shan't elaborate on that though. Last resolution will be to improve my guitar, singing and drumming skills. :)

Yup, I shall conclude this post now. My wish for 2011 is for myself to have enough money to support my funding for concerts. Hahaha. I hope everyone around me stays happy, too. And that, is the most important thing. :)
