Plastic Hearts (No not BLG but DPTs :D)

He left me in bedspreads
Tell me how I'm supposed to go on,
Sparse bedsides,
and a hole in my heart.
Still i dream in heist.

Currently inspired by my well-thumbed copy of Sunshine (Robin Mckinley) and a re-reading of Audrey Niffenegger's 'Time Traveller's Wife'.

I'm in love with Constantine and Henry Detamble respectfully, though they are rather bad choices as the resident heroine's love interest. Since one is a vampire whose skin is (apparently) the colour of old mushrooms and quite ugly, and the other time travels unpredictably. No matter. As if my boring life will ever come across such exciting instances.

After exam period has been heavy with a myraid of expensive dinners at expensive places, late-night simpang bedok suppers and waaay too many music practices.

So Jen-fer came up with this brilliant idea of recording an EP encompassing some christian, secular and jazz numbers to put into NLCC's decade-old time capsule (That is another story altogether but we've got time. Apparently we buried a time capsule in Pastor William's backyard in 1999 with all sorts of crap innit that i cant remember and we're opening it up for 20th year anniversary. And so we have to put in new stuff. Thus, the record to signify the birth of the youth band and the years of change :D Symbolic, i know.) The adrenaline rush has been crazy.

Eventually it boiled down to a remix of break free which sounds pretty darn awesome, i must say, this beatles song 'With a little help from my friends' and a self-written jazz piece that is yet to be named! Quite exciting.

Although we shouldn't be taking too many pictures during practise and actually, you know. PRACTISE.


Nick straddling two guitars while i operate the camera, Jen having a bug-eyed moment and lucy - well i don't know what lucy's doing.

whooo cool shot blocked by someone's hand. phfft.

not-so-cool.

we were trying to give the image of 'casual walking' but it didnt work.
Pathetic, yes.


Today was the first official day of school and it sucked. So much work and i'm like 'are you kidding'.

Me: Yiwen you look so different today! you look hawwwt *winks
Amy: Uh huh totally! did you cut your hair?
Yiwen: Oh thanks! But i didnt change anything!
Amy: Oh well you look nice.
Yiwen: OH. I CHANGED MY SHAMPOO.


Love the three musketeers. D'artagan ftw.
Tomorrow is Chinese Orals and i don't feel quite sane. Missed dinner to go home and 'cram' for A-levels and of course i didn't. Well i probably should feel motivated by the promise of my useless chinese mentor C2 treating me to sushi if i pass, but AH HECK.

Playlist of the week include some of the Indigo Girls (power of two), Anberlin (Amsterdam) and some old Flaming Lips numbers. And of course, Michael Jackson.

Midnight! Someone screwed up my internal clock. Goodnight all!
