An Adorable Boy

Hi my name is Elijah. I am trimega annoying and noisy, but also extremely cute. Cheers.

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 :)

Late nights and early lights

Let love tear us apart,
I found the cure for a broken heart.

Pictures at last. I've been so broke lately that I don't think I'll ever get a new camera D:

Weekend of starbucks-overloads, rock-climbing-induced-bruises and way too much unhealthy BBQ food. Not that I'm complaining.

Ridiculous trampling all over the cemetery on a perfectly sunny Saturday afternoon. In ode for Jac's PW project! It was... enriching?! Do not be afraid is you see any orbs or extra hands/faces/ghostly figures in the pictures.




Tour guide by day, grave guarder by night.



eeek.
Jac pretending to be hard at work.

'... Bukit Brown cemetery should be conserved due to its wide range of flora and fauna.'
Obviously, we had to snap some shots of the pathetic 'flora' to lie our way through.

clarebear! photo credits to her.

The road to the top of the hill.
I got married to Clare! It looks like we're walking to into the sky.

I love this picture haha!
'Someone once told me the grass was much greener,
on the other side' -as told by Ginger.

Remember this? And its extremely apt as well.

Largest gave ever. It was a massive dancefloor.

Baybeats! Sadly no pictures yet, since a certain somebody doesn't have facebook. Honestly, what century do you come from Cal?! Should have gone Friday though!

Went back to SAC cause I skived off on monday, and it was so-so. Catched the Orphan and it was hella scary. Was it any better that Dayna chose the front row seats?! Screamed like stuck pigs. The only thing distracting me was the fact that I had lost my damned ATM card (rather embarrasing incident at starbucks which Mark rescued me from.) Now i owe dayna a ton. Egad.

I am never following Luki's movie recommendations ever again. Spending money on a shite movie is the biggest suckfest ever. HAHA! Mel covering her eyes and falling asleep = highlight of the movie. Nick laughed like a horse. Talk about a weird sense of humour!



Prawn-fishing tomorrow or spending five hours at an 'excursion' in army camp? You tell me.

Love Song For No One.

And you know,
I've got no qualms
about walking on the street tonight,
I'm waiting for you.
Lover, i never met.

Crossing pavements,
I'm falling off the edge of the world here,
But you're nowhere to be found.
Don't take your time any longer,
Lover, I've never met.

Sunrise,
How you come too soon.
How you ebb away.

This is a love song
To someone I don't know.
I've enough of being alone,
Love.

School has been a blast. Minus the endless tests and piling homework. We manage!

Been rather busy, especially since there was Uncle Berwin's wake this week and a show we had to play this week.

It was real fun tho! (the gig, not the wake.) :D I miss all of that. We played a few original numbers, the final unmasking off 'The Dreamer'! It was epic. Brilliant arrangement from Cal, i am so glad we've got him to add spice to our lyrics. New place which was pretty wicked, Hall's Hideway, if i recall correctly. More detail on Jake's!

ANYWAY back to school life.
I crowned Kai the new ice-queen. We had this ridiculous debate session against the USSR & China state, and obviously we were totally unprepared and was nearly thrashed by the other group, even though we DID have the debating pro AMANDA. Ahhem. SURPRISINGLY, the whole class voted for us! Uh huh :D

We made an awesome poster too.


Suat Ning: Eh do you watch bananas in pyjamas?
Me: YES.
SN: Okay you be C1 and i be C2!! (for Cube 1 and cube 2)
Me: Huh?

So we (more like SHE) devised this little routine, inspired by the likes of Bananas in Pyjamas.

SN: C1, are YOU thinking what i'm thinking?
Me: I think i am C2!
*simultaneously do that head-bobbing action while SN makes 'booing' sound.

But you guys probably don't get it.

And a little something we were going during SD lesson that made lao shi so flipping mad when we actually thought it would made her laugh. It's lao shi's top ten favourite lines!!! Which i wrote out for chinese penmanship practise. BTW, suat ning is my mentor for chinese and she is absolutely USELESS. hahahaha.

I'm point number 4. Wow wee.
but i think point 5 is the most hilarious.

Will throw in other significant moments from the past few days.

Yi wen: Ms Yoong has a lot of eyelids.

Amos: *says some mushy stuff
Me: Amos, you're such an emotional and touchy person.
Amos: Well, i know how to touch a girl's soft spot.
*SILENCE.
Amos: In her heart!

Ms Yoong during math lecture: STACY CAN YOU PLEASE CALM DOWN.



Okay that aside.
Still can't get much studying done! So dead for math.

Rather glad that we're skipping PE tomorrow.


oh btw, american idol was phwoarrr.
WAIT. A tribute to awesome megan joy who got 'eliminated' last week.

Was so depressed that i didnt see much point watching AI anymore. But this week's one was mind-blowing.

MATT, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WAS WICKED.


DIG THE HAT, BABY! (and the vocals. all that jazz.)
Adam lambert has redeemed himself in my eyes from that awful Ring Of Fire performance. He looked a bit like David Tutera tonight. But still hot *winks.

Tomorrow' s the last day of the week. Weekend, here i come!
Night folks.

The '59 Sound

Seconds astray,
Something must be done
about those clocks.

Mesmerize me with your numbers,
because there is always a better time,
a better place for this to happen,
something should be done
about those clocks.

Time is wasting away,
Realize that i am here.
If not now,
then when?
Kill me with your answer,
leave the masses breathless.

Hola!

Plagued by everyone to update for the photos and what not. Alright so a heck lotsa things has happened. I can barely remember, hot damn. Major photospam to jog the memory a little bit!

This was from parents-teachers-conference a couple of weeks back when we ordered macdonalds and i became the mother/maid who had to order and collect food for everyone cause they were too darn useless.

of course, jac was only good for shouting 'act normal act normal!' whenever the teacher came by [technically we're not allowed to eat anywhere outside the canteen. how typical-catholic-school]
while a threw some random person's blouse over the entire cache of deep fried goodies.






catholic junior college. what else can i say?




I have no idea.

And this was CJC CROSS-COUNTRY 2009. i guess it was a pre-2.4-km run thing to make us 'revved up' and be all enthusiastic. Well i tried my best, but turns out a lost my competitive runner tag and ended up running the leisure route of 3.4km with a bunch of nutscases.

I can't even remember this dudes name.


One of the highlights was when we were in one of the 'forest-y' parts and this monkey lept down from a tree, next to the group of girls in front of us. Needless to say, this resulted in high-pitched screams and havoc ensued for a long while. Infact, while most of thought the monkey wanted to scratch our eyes out, it merely snatched away the plastic water bottle the girl was holding and ran away.

And wait, that wasn't even the best part.

Another girl behind us said 'Maybe the monkey wanted it to build it's nest.'

Wow. i mean, wow.

JASON MRAZ CONCERT

wicked. mind-blowing!
One of the best live shows I've ever had the opportunity to witness. The music was awesome, the company was great, and MRAZ. Omg. He was hotttt. I swear i could lick the sweat off him[no i'm just kidding, i wouldn't lick the sweat off anybody for a million dollars.]

The 150dollars was worth it. I kinda regret getting the overpriced merch that i am never going to wear because of its massive sizes, tho. D:



EVERYONE NEEDS A HAT WHEN MRAZ IS IN TOWN!










Anyway, we began to finalise our jump-over-bouncers-and-run-to-stage-front-plan when Cheryl came! We hovered around near the exit area. The view was pretty good, really. THeatre was packed by eight, full-house! Living proof that Singapore's listening to slightly better music.

When the band came out, the applause was overwhelming. But that was the extent off it! The crowd was like the crappiest ever. made out of middle-aged fogies and indie posers. That aside, security was bitch to get past. Randi barely had time to whip out her huge-ass camera and fully utilize her excellent photo-taking skills before the lady bouncer threatened to take the camera away. One guy behind said 'Someone's gotta get that pole out of her arse'. Which was crude, but a bit true.

Anyway. The gig was brilliant. Best was when mraz sang The Remedy/Wonderwall remix and did an opera part in Mr curiosity.

Kudos to the awesome jazz trio! sexy saxophone.












The final line-up. Some pictures credits to randi and clare!






Yes so that's all worth mentioning so far. It's going to be a hectic week because of all the concerts and the mini-gig we're playing at, PLUS all the CA tests. See you guys soon (hopefully!!)
