Love is art



DUE TO SCHOOL, PRELIMS, UPCOMING A-LEVELS AND ENDLESS TESTS, there has been an alarming shortage of radness in my life. Is it sad that the most exciting thing that happened to me today was when Ms. Yoong threw my GP essay into the bin cause I was reading it during math class? HURRAH!

Hurrrrr the school thinks it's smart to ask us to have 'potluck' on Teacher's day so they don't have to fork out moolah for light refreshments. Golly thanks! And the kong-monster's elaborate morning speeches have always been unbearable, but lately they are worse. Like, cut-throat-worse. IDK WHAT I'M SAYING SCHOOL MAKES ME INCOHERENT.

To avoid doing any sort of productive work, I've been watching movies from the DVD box (the count is stagnant at 287 movies, of which I have watched about 50), reorganizing my CDs and playing obscenely loud guitar at the 1ams.

So well imma do something lots more interesting than Hypo-testing. Like, pumice my feet or get hit by a truck of hot garbage juice.

Thanks Juno, for giving me the words! See you guys soon :)

Disaster strikes on a daily basis

Well so, today's phototaking was a complete and utter disaster. Ms. Teo was absolutely frightening. And strangely cool.

No, come to think of it, scary > cool.

After witnessing that, I will thank my lucky stars everyday that I don't take history!

We hope that you enjoy the show!

WOW okay no this is more awesome because....

a) It isn't Kelis related.
b) Hello, it's the Beatles!
c) Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney forever, boo to John Lennon and his geeky specs.

Who needs milkshakes when you've got a....


Idk why, I just like moustaches :)

Today was hopelessly boring and everything else apart from schoolwork was endlessly fascinating. 18 more days to prelims. Someone please shot me (with some motivation, at least)

Cake 101

Anyone need emergency chocolate cake? Check here for the recipe


Have yet to try this out, but I have a feeling that once I have, it'll be chocolate cake in a cup with thick dollops of peanut butter or vanilla bean ice-cream for supper every night. Enjoy!



P.S. HAPPY 45th SINGAPORE! And thanks to the government for giving us this unbelievably long weekend :)

I go to seek the Great Perhaps (and famous last words)


'He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," he sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" '

Simón Bolívar in 'The General in his Labyrinth'
by Gabriel García Márquez

Of lists and things!

As Miles Halter in Looking for Alaska put it, getting out of the labyrinth of life/death/suffering requires impulsiveness. Surely, unlike François Rabelais, we endeavour to seek and finally, hopefully, find the Great Perhaps before death.

Maybe it needs a bit more polishing, but listing out dreams never hurt anyone :)

Like a riot, like a riot, oh!

Singfest 2010
So I wasn't feeling all that up to it on tuesday, but I'm kinda glad I went. Its awesomeness made me want to get a ticket for Smashing Pumpkins on day 3 (and from what Victor said, they played 1979 from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness which they play, like, NEVER.)

The Like (alternative poprock band based in L.A.) was unexpectly good. Hail all-girl rockbands!


she reminds me of dull gret. Have been studying way too much lit... HA! I lie. Churchill gets into your head, tho.
Nameless bass, but you can pretty much guess its a hofner. Paul McCartney would have been proud.
Orianthi was an absolutely wicked, 'cept when she opened her mouth and the ghastly aussie accent came spilling out. You could practically see the looks of awe change to looks of mortification when she stopped playing the slick steve-vai licks and tried to increase audience participation by talking. Still, you can't fault the girl, being in MJ's last unseen-tour gives you immunity.

Lounged around while the wondergirls were on!

Harry's was the official caterer, everything was overpriced as usual!

So anyway there was this buff mixed-dude standing in front of us and Sarah asked whether I could take a picture with him. *blushes. And then she called me a cheap slut. THANKS.

Whoot whoot!
eeyer.

If they didn't show that much skin, people would have boo-ed them straight off. Most lukewarm-applause performance of the night!

They were so-so. I don't have a taste of effeminate dudes and mediocre instrumentals. Although Bill has GOT to get a trophy for managing to squeeze into those pants.

Anyway, I was pretty pissed that by the time Katy Perry got on (it took about 45 minutes for them to set the props up and vulgarities were aflame in the mob), there was no batt left cause Sheri used it all to take pictures of Tokio. It was a serious FML moment.

These were the best two pictures before the cam died... at least we got to watch her rock on guitar and sing with amazing vocals. Doesn't hurt that she is hella BEAUTIFUL!


Between holding press-conferences in the sea and having a fiance like Russell Brand, no one can say Katy Perry isn't amazing.

So concludes this year's Singfest! 2008 did have a better line-up I suppose, but you can't expect Jason Mraz and Panic to come every year, right?



The last week has ben breezyyyy. Career day on Wednesday and National Day celebrations today. Loving the long weekend ahead! Will finally have time to listen to the new Arcade Fire album. Have a great holiday everyone :)

They have got no alibi


I didn't ever think that there would ever be an ugly SKINS cast. I was wrong.
