but then I just smile

How do we name the days?
What people do with the minutes,
I do with memories.

Train station in the early evening,
we are drowning in sweet nostalgia here, honey,
Frankly,
I'm getting tired of living
in yesterday.

So I hit the ground now,
I've been living up there for too long
and the night's getting gray.

I'm sorry for not updating this space more than I should. Suat told me I should be more like Kai, who painstakingly finds something to blog-worthy everyday. Me, I forget things as soon as they come along.

Live in the moment, I always say.

So, photos. (in chronological order!)

spot the boo-boo D:
Some band pictures!

three cheers for being absolutely spontaneous.


Who said a band with three guitarists can't rock out?



awww kieran. We will miss him when he goes for rehabilitation the operation

overexposed shot: originally supposed to be some roadside ice-cream shop. It was actually super frustrating/worrying that the film didn't come out the first time I took it, but I guess it turned out for the best.
shaved ice selling like hotcakes. Oh, the irony.


one of the best bands. ever.
late-night tea times.



Another highlight of the week was creating the most legendary group to ever enter facebook. This occurred somehow when we were talking about skins season 4 (PHOTO POST SOON) and it evolved into this>

And stop using our page to advertise your lame fish group, alex(is)!

Yesterday went out for a number of music practices and a rather unexpected picnic. No comment. 'Cept, Leon's 'suspenders and AH-HEM' joke is probably etched into my memory forever! Hilarious stuff.

Midnight. Urgh, so not looking forward to school tomorrow for a variety of reasons. Unfinished homework and unfinished business. Wow this is annoying.


So goodnight guys, and here's to the next beckoning weekend!

And in that moment,

I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica.

Snap!

A polaroid for everyday starting from tomorrow. A tiny project to make the passing of mundane days a little more interesting.

Our rockefella audition is pushed up till tomorrow, horrors of horrors. So that means I will have to haul the heavy semi-acoustic and all the effects pedals to school for a fifteen minute jam session. Hopefully it will all be worth it.


I promise there will be more pictures up soon :) I've taken a ton but the flesh is oh-so-weak.

I smell cookies.

Mushaboom, shaboom, shaboom.

Say what you need to say,

It was over before it began,
the sky is turning darker
the things we left behind
are not getting any better

So now I'll remember
when the days used to be sweet like sunshine.

As Mr Farhi called as shallow-minded people (recall a certain braincell-numbing GP lesson?) for not jotting down or daily rambles, here's what happened in the past week of school.

Open house was crazy. I know MM hasn't exactly been the most dedicated or punctual or methodical, but open house jamming was absolutely spiffay. Hello, switchfoot and paramore ditties. The two performances weren't brilliant or anything, but we got by.



Nick Loo and his lack of vocal chords never fail to receive a chorus of 'SHUT UP' from all of us. Hilarious times.

oh and the most adorable kid walked by and got soooo obsessed with the guitar! One of the teacher's, i think.


Awww he actually cried when we took the guitar away to pack D:

Shaved ice with Rach & Clare afterrr! It was icy-heaven.

Lucy's 23rd birthday celebration on wednesday, at this aussome jap restaurant we stumbled upon a while back. happy birthday lucy! Look 16yrs old forever!

And on Thursday, Mandy Moose & Tiara flew off to Paris a.k.a. land-of-sexy-accents-agogo-land, and left yours truly's sad butt behind. It is a major suckfest whilst you are mooching around school and dragging yourself up from bed at 6am every morning, your mates are out dining alfresco and wearing berets and meeting hot french lads. Well, we deal.

Besides the week of late nights and even later nights, we're all gearing up for CJ's annual Rockefella concert auditions. It's crazy how auditions are next week. Besides Rockefella, there's always the

For some reason, jamming today is fixed from 9pm till the next morning, so hello angry neighbours of azriel's/pris'.

Have a good first weekend everyone!




sorry

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung, well it's easy

They weep for another day,
a statement of gross exaggeration,
Under the parlor
the burlesque will hide
In the corners of your dark dark mind

Velvet lights will take over,
what a travesty this has become.
The musical breakdown takes cover,
but it will lead them to where
they must go,
the lovers.

First day of school. Awwww. It was pretty fun.

New Class. New seating arrangement (*cough). New form teacher. New trés terrible timetable.

Still, there's always the same ol' lovely people, same ol' canteen food and same ol' bitchfests. Today was scandalous to say in the least, thanks Rach.



So tomorrow's open house! Hope to see you there and don't laugh if our performance sucks

Na na na na na na na naaaa!

This is awesomeness in the form of a chart.

So, today was nice but not so nice.

I had no idea my mom, aunty anna, vanessa and mel (well actually i knew she was) were so bitchygossipy!

I suddenly feel like watching a musical, but then again I always feel like watching musicals. 'Chicago' is finally finally coming to singapore thise year AND LIZZEH IF WE DO NOT GET OUR STUDENT PRICED TICKETS SOON WE WILL REGRET IT LIKE HOW WE REGRETTED YYYs D: and here's to 'Wicked' coming our way. Soon.


Currently plugged into Gallows' 'Grey Britain' record and Modest Mouse' 'No One's first & You're Next'! I'm sorry but I have a soft spot for brilliant brit bands.

So 'night! Have a good one :)

In the heart of Paris

Love my Glee boys.



Is it weird that I'm getting all nervous for school's reopening? Sure, we all know its a drag (hello crappy timetable) but that's never bothered me too much. Maybe its other things. On my mind.

Of course, there's always the undone math homework and the mental image of Ms Yoong that would make anyone shiver.

Well, enjoy the breath of fresh air while we can! See ya'll next week :)

They carved the message deep within (a broken heart that failed to mend!)

DANG. Just when I've gotten used to writing '2009' in all my dates.

2009 has been pretty legendary. Last year, I was thrown into a brand new school and forced to sit in a classroom full of smelly noisy dudes, and have 12-hour days (which is heck on someone with a short-attention span). I've been to a hell lot of concerts, read some pretty incredible novels and I've worn out a few leather-bound journals with my illegible scrawl. Drifted away from people, but made some more who honestly made 2009 an easier year to get by.

I'm not a fan of change (then again, who is?), but 2010 here we come!

Another photo update on the post-christmas and new year front, since I'm pretty lazy like that :)

KL 2009 (Getting by with a little help from my friends)

Polaroids from me, photo credits for the rest to jen!






















This, is actually a road sign. I kid you not.

Three-dollar Ray Bans never go out of style ;D



Lucy always loves to copy me tsk.

Our cribzzz for three nights :D



HAHA! Never fails to crack me up


dude, take the mask off and maybe you'll get some business.


awesome (and frequently worn by many other members of the entourage) but slightly overpriced beanie :D



lucy's cheeks ftw!





*says 'Ram-leeee burgers' in a british accent.

the salmon thief.


She must have eaten a whole salmon by herself!



This joke has been hilarious for six months and counting!




Avatar was brilliant. Jake scully is hubba hubba.

Ah, and the new year party!





Met up with Suat the other day and we pigged out on Kenny G's big time! Laughed like mad and she gave me my birthday present, which was a hat with sharp-edges inside LOL.

And was supposed to meet up with Tiara yesterday at starbucks to do homework but of course WE DIDN'T cause we are rebels like that. Instead, we flitted around the usual gossip and tiara's old NYNY bosses kept stopping by to chat (where is our salmon toast, if i may ask?) Haha I love tiara but I also hate her cause she'll be zooming off to paris with mandy moose for ten days whilst I sit alone in classes and rot. Lovely.



Anyway, timetable for 2010 is out. Major major suckfest. Having some heated fb discussion with Kenneth, Liz, Vanessa and Kai right now. I think I hear the word 'protest'!

I will do my homework tomorrow. Yes, I will.
