Living life in technicolour

In tribute to Bill for getting his sixth call from the neighbours and police to tone it down. Miss that chap.

(CSE, you can suck it.)

Watched one of the worst literature plays in the history of the world. Everyone looked really fabulous and i managed to make it through the play without falling asleep. Late-night gossips (and secret-spilling) and a brilliant aftershow at midnight with Caleb and the rest, those guys sure know how to party.

Somewhere in Sentosa a certain hi-chew is grooving out in a tight yellow shirt(le sigh! Yiwen didn't take pictures and has therefore failed as a hired stalker), and Clauds is probably lying prostrate on the floor in her own vomit. and guess who will be called at 5am? I hate being the one to solve problems!

Snapshots out tomorrow!

We'll be a movement, but we'll never be a scene.

Scrawled across the wall a couple days ago in black marker. Much to my surprise, i did not meet much opposition from mom, whom i guess is just too used to seeing rubbish stuff all over the wall. Infact, she contributed the second line of the quote! Credits to her :D

Many apologies for not updating, it has been a rather hectic week. Surprise visits to Manpuku, stalking Hi-chew around college GPP stress. Well at least i DID get over Chinese Orals, which wasn't as bad as expected. I guess i was reassured when Dayna walked in from her oral and declared it was the easiest she ever sat for, calmed ALL of us down haha!

Although i did have to wake up at 5am nearly every single day this week for a myraid of reasons! To copy math c.a. from smarter creatures learn math stuff, play for morning mass and finally Ascension mass on thursday... boyy it was tiring.

This week is full of the lads. Yes it sounds queer. First, on the career day MINDEF trip, Tiara and I somehow by a stroke of misfortune, ended up being separated from ALL the girls and sat in the boy's bus. Ah the downfalls of being at the bottom of the classlist. But it wasn't too bad. Thank god for Ipod movies like John tucker must die! Kenneth Nick and Leon (otherwise known as the three dunces) were also bold enough to help us steal more than a dozen cream puffs during lunch time, wherelse Amos a.k.a. maxipad, was being prick-like and not helping us take drinks. sheessh.

Secondly, i was initially shifted to Luki's team for the youth team, all rowdy boys of course! For the most bizarre reasons ever. It worked out for the best in the end tho :D Jennifer and I did some weird victory dance/hop thing after service. Now that i think about it, it must have looked terrible, but OH WELL.

Third, AMERICAN IDOL MALE-DOMINATED FINALISTS!

The adorable Kris Allen! Although the fact that he is holding a five-grand gibson hummingbird with a custom fretboard appeals to me, so does his awesome voice! What a talented fine chap.

The finals were absolutely fantastic. That will teach you, bikini girl! And it may sound wrong, but i speak the truth when i say Kara Dioguardi looked hot that night :)

I have a love-hate relationship with American Idol. Whoever i thought was fantastic and outstanding and talented were slowly eliminated! It was like some curse. So this pays tribute to the awesome talents of the show who never made it!

1. Megan Joy Corkrey

My favourite contestant, actually. Okay maybe she was a little bit bizarre. With her chicken clucking sounds, bizarre dancing and off-topic comments. You can't deny her voice was unique and powerful in its own way tho. LOVE that blue-sy/jazzy tone! Eliminated as the ninth contestant, reckoned it was the biggest mistake America ever made! Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be very popular here in SG :/

Best performance: Walking after Midnight. I thought what Regis said was absolutely hilarious 'If Megan Joy's walking after midnight, I'm stalking after midnight!'

Her tattoos (thought im not usually a fan of those) are wicked stuff.

2. Matt Giraud
I love the lads with hats. Hey you have to know how to dress right? He might not have the best control of voice, but his tone is excellent. Flexible too. I thought that his version of the fray's 'You Found Me' was superb, and his performance 'My funny valentine' was stunning. Stellar performances, although not well-received by America! Hmmpf.

Well he shall make idol history by being the first contestant ever to be 'saved' by the judges.

A fun fact: The reason why Matt wears hats is to conceal the wart he has on his forehead! For those who have been following his idol career, you would have seen it in earlier auditions etc.

Check out his performance on the Ellen show, 'Let's get it on'. Brilliant.

3. Allison Iraheta

Honestly, i truly believed she should have been in the finals with Adam Lambert. Reminded me a bit of Hayley Williams (the husky voice, huge range and stage presence)! Scores brownie points for being the only girl who could play an instrument, although it was just a few chords... STILL!

An attitude to die for. And aussome hair too, btw. Best performance was probably 'Papa was a rolling stone', greaat chops!

Also, her omission turned the top three into a male-zone. Which was kinda sad D:





THUS ENDS THE IDOL JOURNEY.
now, what shalt thou do on wednesday/thursday nights for entertainment?


Friday had a barbeque at Mel's place (a real restaurant by the way!) and it was FUN. First time the more mature (ha!) older youth got together for some really good food and random talk.


Showcasing off her 'only useful skill in life'. Dearest jennifer spent her whole life perfecting the art of roasting golden-brown marshmallows, what an exciting life it is.

*five hours later. 'MAN! WHY ARE THEY STILL WHITE?!'

Someone looks like a platypus.

slightlyyy better.

First attempt of recreating the 'Friends' scene. Sofa and all!

1st - fail. Not all of us were sitting on the sofa.

2nd -fail. Lesbian effect somewhere in the middle urkkk.

THIRD: SUCCESSS!

Sunday morning was spent snoozing and rolling about bed, trying to study CSE. Argh. What a waste of time.

I swear, i have ADD. Which explains why i am probably going to flunk mid-terms, go to poly, fail at that too, become a hoodlum and die a sad sad death. Alone. In a 3-room flat with 37 cats.

We have extra lessons till six tomorrow! As if staying in school till 5 everyday isn't enough!! School is becoming like jail, really.


Can't wait for the next week to be overrr. And it will be off to movie marathons, basking in the sunlight at KK and jamming my face off with the lads. YAY.

Goodnight all!

Late-night Literature

'Gudrun looked at him with black-dilated, spellbound eyes. There was a strength in his thighs, the wonderful way in which they moved and rippled, as he straddled the mare. It made her faint with poignant dizziness, penetrating her heart.'

In short, Gudrun gets horny at the sight of man-thighs.


I said INTERESTING, not absolutely absurd!

This is porn from the 19th(?) century, i swear.

Tales of girls, boys and marsupials

chipmunkkk!

________________________________________

Many apologies to C2/Virginia/Blur block of blur city for ditching her on our weekly TGIF getaway! But i did want to go for the netball match so badly, especially since i have never been to one, and it was the FINALS! ACJC vs. RJC!

We supported AC, for obvious reasons. Although it would have been more exciting if amanda was playing.

Was actually rather worried that our dearest Lingustics teacher/the walking-mouth-on-legs would delight us with an afternoon spent in detention that very day, but thank goodness she didn't.

I got to ride in Clare's Mom's Van thingy! Which was kinda the highlight of the day haaaa. Tell me, how many people shove an entire SOFA into the back of their vehicle? One!

Anyway, it was really wicked fun.

Being retarded. AS USUAL!

Met with Mel T and Marcus (Markus?!) with emi coming later. I was quite the noob, emilia had to keep telling me what was going on throughout the whole match. It is a complicated game, alright?!?

Melissa's arms are just TOO long.

Marcus is pouting...?

awesome banner!

I suppose it was a rather exciting match, the players were just flying around the court like white/black dots.

In short, AC won with a score of 50-something to 40 i think, 15 points ahead. WHOO. beat the nerds!

The terrible part: Mel's labtop got stolen!

Damn you Indian fella who kept loitering around our section. I feel like such a darned fool for not doing something when i could have, since i spotted him acting all suspicious before awards-ceremony. Well, i did tell Clare, but since we are the two most forgetful people in the world, it was soon forgotten.

Escalated into quite a drama involving a police car with three anxious policemen, an extremely long statement and a Macbook lost. With luck, Mel will get it back! Cheer up!




Stupid flu kept bugging me the whole day, mind you. Bloody irritating.

Today afternoon, travelled all the way to town to get my ovation fixed. It was kinda hilarious because luki asked me what was wrong with it when we were on the way to Peninsula to meet nick, and this is what i said:

'The nut got stuck in the bridge.'

In non-guitar terms, it means the little nub at the end of the string got stuck in the wooden slot below the guitar hole. Well, it started getting funny after i repeated it in my head a few times. Not so much, no?

The rest of the aftenoon was spent hunting for nicholas' Super-Padded-Bass-Bag (powerrr) and trying out an assortment of very cheap and extremely-you-won't-believe-it-expensive-guitars at Bras Pasar, after Luki decided to ditch us to go to Serine Center. Visited the place where i first got my lousy psychedelic swirl TGM model, it was hilarious! Although the six string bass we saw (and nick tried) was fun.

Had to miss social for homework. grrrr. Late nights don't do me any good.

I still have my math FA, english compre and Linguistic essays to write. Not to mention Chinese orals to 'mug' for. Hoorahh!

Oh, and 300pages of Women in Love to read, which is only the most boring book written in the history of the world. No wonder D.H. lawrence was a depressed chap, who only had the biggest crush on his mother.



Good morning world. And goodnight.

Unravel at the seams

Tripping on the tightrope
when you've got no other place to go,
our days are short,
but these nights are so long,
there's time to spare.

Sing a song in the name of love.
Dim the lights,
tonight we're in for a show.

KRIS ALLEN IS IN THE FINALS. Thank you America!

Woke up today with a headache bad enough to crack a head and a pretty bad fever. Went to our family doctor to get medicine and an excuse slip, but was rather appalled by the generla atmosphere of the clinic. Everyone wearing bright green masks and looking like glum monsters. When i told the lady at the front counter that i had the flu, she looked at me like i was a walking germ and slid a green mask over the table, and took a step further behind. sheesh!

So i guess you could consider it a 'day-off', lest one with lotsa sneezing and drowsiness.

HAVE TO CATCH UP ON MATH. curses.
Jamming was awesome stuff :D Except Nick and Luki made fun of the new name i came up with AGAIN, after they decided 'The Electric Prunes' wasn't good enough. Luki actually said this:

Eh, actually, 'Mike Stands and Guitar Amps' isn't bad what.

I could just scream. Till further notice, TEP remain the official name. Got it!!

Maxxie is currently into a band called Deftones. I'm not really into the kind of music he listens to, but i've got to say, this one isn't too bad :) Music recommendation for the week.

So stoked that Green Day's album is out tomorrow. Pick it up at your local(?) record store! And enjoy.



I really should be getting down to some work. Since mid-years are a couple weeks away. I think.

I wanna hold your glaaaand.

Today is gone,
and you're still sleeping tomorrow away,
On a bed of sunshine,
he's wasting away,
But for not too long i pray.

Summer came,
flickers in the sea and the world's still spinning,
just not the way you hoped it would be.
You've got to dance,
dance on the tables honey,
fall in love today.

So.
All night long,
we sang a song.
Crossing the golden sands.

How we enjoy long weekends. School holiday pride!

Saturday had a PW meeting in Toa-freaking-payoh, but HH was nice enough to give me a 45-minute allowance to come in late cause everyone else lived nearby. The rest of it, well you can pretty much guess (or laugh about. or gloat.) what happened. Shall spare you the dramatics and move on.

Music practise which was fun I GUESS although we lamented on the fact that Luki should have been playing drums this week instead of me, which is a major major difference. Luki you can suck it for not coming back earlier LIKE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO.

Anyway, he's back now, so he can jolly well take over all my scheduled-drum weeks. A small price/punishment to pay you know! Plus a hundred Krispy Kreme donuts, thanks.

MANPUKU is the shizzle. Boo to misers like the older Lee kids duo.

Sunday was mother's day AND my mother's birthday. Double pressure! So it was a day of way to much good food at way to expensive restaurants with way too many nosy relatives.

First meal at the acclaimed hotel. It wasn't that big a deal, just your average chinese food fare. Boring.

However, the bizarre statues/sculpture/artwork of undeterminable nature was rather interesting. brownie points for that!

Spot the difference! Awwww kidding mom!






Another dinner with dad's side. And then a rather imprompto sleepover at jenny's jennifer's!

Lotsa movies and ISLAND CREAMERY

My vunderful drawing of a suburban house on jennifer's tablet where she draws all her wonderful manga drawings like this:
ITS SO PRETTY INNIT. anyway jennifer, don't spaz when you see this up. And only cause you deleted the pic i took of the drawing you did last night on your tablet.

Long story. i though the tablet was like a laptop pad. Top ten loser moments, thanks for pointing it out jen!

Next morning i kept falling back to bed. Blame the constant rain (which to me, is sleep-inducing. I'M A CAT <>DAMN YOU MOE

Regarding jamming on wednesday,

nicholas says:
eh
luki can jam on wed
stacecake! says:
who's that? (emphasizing the fact that he has been absent for really really long)
nicholas says:
a drummer
not from the electric prunes
stacecake! says:
he/she has a weird name
nicholas says:
she
stacecake! says:
LOL
clever
anyway wed i might not be able to jam
nicholas says:
y????!!!!!!!
stacecake! says:
long story
okay cause my school right
nicholas says:
waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
dun your sch la
stacecake! says:
has this night study programme
LISTEN FIRST
nicholas says:
dun go la
oi
stacecake! says:
LISTEN!!!!!
nicholas says:
when finally can
u like that
stacecake! says:
I KNOW YOU ARE JAM-DEPRIVED
SO AM I
LISTEN TO MY STORY FIRST!!!
nicholas says:
ok
fine.
what.

Hilarious stuff. That's what you get after no jazz practise for two and a half months cause your drummer decided to hang out with his 'kor' in myanmar and play with his younger brother.

Anyway, the reason why i probably have to stay back on wednesday for the night study is because mom decided to be charitable and signed up for the CJC SNACK FRIENDS (yes i know. terrible name, much?) and has to stay back till nine. And I, being a filial daughter was thinking of staying back as well.

But we'll figure it out. afterall, its high-time we got back to jamming. :D
MIDNIGHT!

later, folks.

P.S. chinese orals tomorrow. Holy cows.

A Lesson in Romantics for the Average Lover.

Someone's watching for you,
delve behind the make-up,
its time to shake it up
boy.

_________________________________

This has been the worst week so far.
So the whole lecture thing has been blown completely out of proportion by some extremely annoying prick-resses (as coined by Amos) Amy, chin up yeah? Don't let them get you down.

I think we're all in need of a couple of good moments/laughs here, before we get to the long long weekend (holy guacamole, thank goodness!)


1. Amanda and I going crazy over a couple of badges. Ah, but where do they come from? Arrogance and Absolute-hotness. Frankly, she's more mental than i am. Keep the change, hon.

2. How entertaining the Math and Science week 'Finale' turned out to be. Not. We sat in Lecture theatre halls watching some geeks intelligent individuals mix sodiumcarbonatenitratesaltpotassiumnitridejiajfuihsiudhsa.

3. Maxxie's official metamorphosis into a woman. 'I'm so pretty, oh-so-pretty! So happy and pretty and gaayyyy!'

4. The conversation HH and I had online with CharSiewPau yesterday. Which went something like this:

HH: Eh so what is our PW group's number?
CSP: the number?
Me: Yeah, have to put on our PI.
CSP. 95673028.
Me & HH: o_o

5. The PI rush today, which was more than chaotic. Kieran, who announced that he forgot to bring his PI to school, was so calm it scared the heck out of us. For his forgetfulness, he was signed out of school early and got to skive off history AND mother tongue lessons to get a piece of paper at home. Wowwee.



And finally, its the weekend. Today went to United Square for lunch with c2, kenny and nickT. I swear the walk there can be classified as a HIKE. Doesn't help much that it was probably fifty degrees sheesh!

And then dental which absolutely sucks.
Looking forward to the next three days to sleep. ALOT.

Gossip!

Holler for the skies,
maybe they'll hear you tonight,
This will be a dream worth dreaming.
I promise.

Maidens in scarlet-clad,
They are waiting for you,
across the garden's breath.
He drops his silver hand,
and kisses hers,
what a gentleman,
How they coo his name.

Because we live to eat. - Sushi Buffet!

damnnn.
Sylvia's patented trademark of eating temakis. Extremely hilarious!

Awwww poor sylvia!

Look at may's non-existent face!
So after we polished off about half the restaurant's supply of raw fish, took a little field trip to the toilet for pictures :D

Imitating a certain SOMEONE. rack your brains, lads.

Suat Ning still thinking that we're imitating someone while we are actually trying to take an ordinary shot. How not surprising.


Suat Ning's thought: Eh so should i have another chawamushi, or another chawamushi? Hmmmm better have another chawamushi.

shoo cute.

This is after Tiara's call informing all of us faithful american idol followers that Matt Giraud got out of the finals. Obviously, C2 was elated. and Kai was being ice-queenish and not carrying about how depressed i felt.

AWWW MATT!
After paying the bill, sat on the comfy plush sofa and scared the uncle away with all our noise.


E.T. phone home!
Yeaaah so that thursday was wicked fun.
Friday jamming was cancelled and thus, spent the day doing absolutely NOTHING. thou is the epitome of the word BUM.

Emi's birthday surprise at ECP on satuday!
A hell difficult to organise. But we pulled through (no doubt due to my 'excellent' lying skills). Hope you enjoyed it! Had to leave early for a short acoustic set at Hal's, where in william and claudia picked me up.

OMG i am never sitting in a car with those two again. It is hazardous. TO MY LIFE.
Awesome fun tho :D Kudos to free peach mocktails!





There's this awful picture of me running back to the group after putting self-timer. with my gargatun ass covering up half the lens, but i will NOT put that picture up to save yours truly from further embarrasment.



Mighty fine to be with the usual bums once again. Ah the virtues of all-girls schools.

Today during school we ran 2.4. I swear it was one of the best moments of my life finishing the sixth/seventh? round and knowing that i scraped together a good grade. I'm pretty surprised Leon, who was my counter, didn't screw up my timing (GOOD ON YOU DINO!) but kenneth screwed up Suat's (*does swatting action). Which led to a rather heated outburst by suat ning towards ken and mrs tan afterwards... all's well, i hope.

So its goodbye to mass PEs and physical training for the girls! Go boys! Beat those awful chin-ups. :D

Was feeling kinda bleh today, probably cause of the unfortunate hiking incident yesterday which i shall not repeat. Highlight was repeating old SKINS lines with Manda. She is spiffay at impressions!

'Say goodbye to sunshine, sunshine!'

Went back with Tiara on the crowded crowded crowded MRT train and discussed all sorts of random crap. Ate at T1's Manpuku (haha tia!) and it was awesome! In love with the fruit tarts, really. Fruit tart city ftw!




I am sick. PW is what's killing me.

'You sidding sod!'

I leave you with that quote. Goodnight all.
