Let's Dance to Joy Division!

Out of the water he came,
and beauty became salt of my sadness.
I set out to master the art of passion,
but i found you instead.

It was a coloured world,
at least for a little bit,
we breathed out
the violets and reds and the yellows,
fiery feelings,
filling the concrete pavements.
This is our spring,
at least for the summer.

Time is the enemy this week. Sleeping has become a luxury!

As things go when you don't update online sites (which ought to be updated regularly but due to unforeseen circumstances such as school and anniversary dinners and Harry Potter movies and PW-induced headaches, they often well, don't.), we consult the common way of blogging. That is, The List.

1. Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince

Popcorn has become the staple diet, these past two weeks. I've gone to the movies four times, and all to watch the same flick (YES okay it did take out a chunk out of my pocket, but still.) Well it wasn't as epic as expected but it redeemed itself with the brief appearances of Cormac Mclaggan doing smexy things like licking his fingers and looking all suave on a broomstick

Ginny is an old box-faced git. And now i do agree with Tiara, Seamus can be a bit of tosser with his awful accent.

Watched it first with Yiwen and Tiara after two basktball matches last wednesday, watched it argain on friday with C2, Kai and the rest of the gang. Suat ning was spazzing when she say Tom Felton, sigh. Never again.

2. Big Gob reaches epitome of annoyance. Go screw yourself, enough said. (are you with me, friends!)

3. LIVERPOOL COMES TO SINGAPORE.

okay so i was rather pissed off that Dad didn't manage to score tickets for the match last Sunday, but Friday's velocity trip made up for it. FANTASTIC STUFF. Sarah left with Zac earlier and so i was left to find this anonymous person 'Sophia', hop into a cab with her and go! Kenneth was being a prick and taking his own sweet time to eat YTF(!) so with no other option, spent 10 minutes trying to contact my mysterious escort. She turned out to be really nice and turns out she's patti's friend and i've met her before!

Hopped into the called cab with Jen and Eugene and off we went to see the best English club in the history of the world.I live up to my old email. Liverpoolrox10@hotmail.com FTW.

It was in short, absolutely epic. Hundreds of maniacs screaming, clad in red and white and black but mostly in red. Some mental guy had tattoos carved into every inch of his skin in tribute to Liverpool! Zac got filmed for singing an improvised version of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine', with changed lyrics of course. Rather exciting.

So we were all under the impression that only Jamie Carragher was turning up for the session but when they announced Torres was making a surprise appearance... everyone went wild. Wilder than we already were. I mean seriously, besides the fact that he is an excellent footie player, he has the added bonus of being gorgeous.

At the press conference itself.

Poor jamie got outshined by his teammie. And poor-er old man who got trampled on by the red mob, when all he wanted to do was get into Velocity. Sophia was clawing like a frenzied cat, at the car which the two players arrived in! HAHA. Singapore fans are fanatics.

Good experience. Too bad i couldn't see the Singapore team get thrashed silly by them.

Alonso better not leave D:

4. BRACES = off!

Retainers hurt. hella lot. Had to wrestle with Dr. Yang cause he was clamping down on my retainers too roughly. He won, of course, and now my mouth is sore ow ow ow

5. NLCC 20th year anniversary

Quite rad. Although SICC turned out to be a little ratty with a too-teeny stage, the celebratins went well :D Of course, everyone was dressed to the nines, and it nice to see all the boys in shirts and ties. Good change from the baggy tees and what not.

I hate aunty yu ming's dress codes/ideas stockings. She also had this fantastic idea of having a personal photoshoot at the lobby for our band, which was HILARIOUS. Cause she was throwing all sorts of crazy ideas and positions and facial expressions at us. Looked at how some of the not-so-fantastic shots turned out!

Mel's hypnotic stare.

aunty yu ming says: STOP SMILING GUYS!

Lucy spazzing and nick's eyes becoming twice the usual size.

After about a billion shots, Aunty Yu ming found the next two satisfactory, and we were released!

AYM: Gossip girl! You guys look like you're from a GG shoot!




The night and its unglam photos.

Lum/Lam?!
PRICELESS. Jennifer's face cracks me up.




There is a particular one with me that looks like i've shoved two chopsticks up my nose but it is only an ILLUSION. Still, since its a very convincing one, it will not be put up :D

Nicely-taken ones.

totally spies out to totally save the world!
Sarah my sister who looks BALD.


Black shirts and red ties

And so it ended. Here's to many more years to come!

6. MUSIC from stiff-upper-lip land

Although I know its pretty bad to classify music by its regions, but I've been definitely hooked on English Indie bands recently. Kudos to Sarah G who gave the excellent recommendation of 'Passion Pit' (she caught them live in London! MEH!).

Other bands include The Wombats, Joy Division, Jamie T and of course, the Kooks! Brilliant record.

I was quite offended when Will/Bill said that English bands sounded like rubbish. TSSSK. Listen to them, everyone! Not all of us have peephole horizons :)

7. School and Such

The workload has been mighty crazy. As if the timetable isn't enough to KILL us, ms yoong piles up the endless math tutorials and the thought of a Lit PC essay due is not appealing. Of course, there's the ever-present, nagging tug concerning PW. My EOM is of now, absolutely crap. And submission's on Monday! Nevermind, i have my best friend HH to help me battle against J.O.

Kai and C2 also shifted to the back of class and i miss them D:

Clarebear got the secretary position in Editorial and her first assignment is to buy eclairs (ECLARES how apt) for our editorial 'party' next week. Hurrah.

8. A Frenzied Friday. baking, BBQs and late-night jam sessions

TGIF doesn't apply, when you're rushing around singapore on four hours of sleep. C2 ditched me after school but when i went to Island Creamery, Lee was there! A pleasant surprise. Trudged to Jen's house after that to do some baking for goodness knows what. Sick of the smell of cookie dough and the Lee Family's uncontrollable mutt called Rusty.

BBQ at nicole's place! Thrown in ode to Victoria, who got accepted to New York University recently and came back for a holiday. Obviously, there was not enough food and someone forgot to get carbs, but the laughter made up for it.

Headed to pat's, who recently soundproofed his room/evolving studio. Still, it was still too late to do anything but try a few acoustics. Guess we all know where we'll be hanging out more now!

9. Linguistics Symposium

School on a saturday sounds like the worst thing in the world. But it turned out to be enriching and included lots of information about journalism. Although i don't see how it can help us in ELL papers. KW was taking notes like the world was about to end.

The refreshments were DE-LISH. After being reasonably well-behaved all morning, its safe to say we disgraced outselves by stuffing our faces. HA!

10. Stoked! about Lady Gaga

Yiwen and her funny ideas. Fishnet stockings and a neon dress?! I'll sooner jump off a cliff. But it should be mighty fun. Ten days to go before the epic gig!



I almost became the owner of a cat today D:

The effect of the two cokes i had earlier is running out. Till next time, au revoir!
