hmmm last night was great fun hehehe.. though it was packed to the max but somehow it didnt feel that bad. its one of the better times this year. ok yeah so i broke it but wth? its the last wed of the month. ahahahahhaaa. saw tons of ppl there. lots of vj n smu ppl i swear.

today bain n i finally got down to doing the SVC stuff. thou i think it still might be a tad inadequate but tt's really all we can do eh.

tmr's ny eve. tt's like super duper fast. 2004 has passed, literally, in the blink of an eye! it has definitely been a year none like before. a year where i slack 3 times more than i study. 2004 has its equal number of ups and downs i guess but nonetheless, a walk to remember. a year i'll probably never forget.

i need cute (and i mean really cute, with good bods prefably) guys and gals to be models for the tri uni sports bash. if u are one, or if u know anyone who is one, pls let me know. dont be shy ok. =)

bain has passed her driving test! and hongyi too! congrats u both!! now i'm stressed. ahaahaaaa.. not bad, got chauffeurs soon HAHA. ohman i'm so excited for them!

and here's in memory of the earthquake and tsunami victims. gosh it was so terrible and it is so terrible reading the news about the tsunamis. but isnt the sea such a funny thing? that those at sea are not that badly affected? the tsunami can actually pass under your boat/ship unnoticed yet cause massive destruction on land. its a black sunday indeed.

i ran into a madwoman today. scared the hell outta me. i was scared outta my wits. she even threatened to stangle me. wth. i was damn scared sia. must be bad karma? hah. anw trial recording's postponed so i got today free. haha.

When you close your eyes
Do you like what you see?
Inside your mind
And do you like to dream
About the stars above?
Once in a while

Don't go to the other side
For nothing at all
Better make it worth your while
Gonna break down that wall
Gonna take the fall

Don't go to the other side
You might mess up that hair
Just wait you might change your mind
To think that people might care
About your hair anyway

Don't go to the other side
Just get down on your knees
Show me what you are made of
I'm begging you please
Just please go away
Don't go to the other side

"Once In A While" ~ Dishwalla

read this article in the new paper on sunday which had me laughing.

no christmas songs, just hymns please
by edwin yeo


With each year that passes, Christmas feels less real. It used to be - when men wore dresses and never shaved - a time for religious celebration and a holiday where one is filled with the Holy Spirit. These days, especially on Chrismas eve, people are filled with a different kind of spirit, mostly Jack Daniels, Jim Bean or Johnny Walker.

But if you look at how unreal some of the Christmas songs are, it's no surprise that we have lost our way a bit. For instance, have you heard that one which goes: "All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth." Yes i understand that it's a song about a kid who just lost his or her milk teeth, and wants the gaps plugged, so to speak. But tell me, have you ever heard any child, during Christmas, wish for her front teeth instead of, say, the Ken doll from the Barbie Swan Lake Prince and the Pauper Collection? I don't think so.

And how about that one where the little rascal catches mommy kiss Santa Claus? Yes, yes, i know daddy is supposed to be pretending to be Santa Claus (at least, that's the story mommy will give you). In your entire life, have you ever seen your father dress up as Santa Claus just to quietly place presents under your Christmas tree? Yeah, thought so.

And how about Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer? Here's a reindeer, ostracised by his fellow stupid animals because he had a red nose. One foggy night, Santa decides to make him leader of the pack (great man-management there). And suddenly, just like that, all of the other reindeers love him. I don't know which planet that songwriter lived on, but on this one, the other reindeers would have been spreading rumours that Rudolph slept his way to the top, which would then lead to the elves ostracising him as well.

And then, in Winter Wonderland, you have a talking snowman who, of all the things a talking snowman could possibly say to his makers, chooses to ask: "Are you married?" Not "Thank you for creating me". Not "Hi, how are you today?". Are you married. I'm not done.

Ever sang this? "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, with every Christmas card I write." You try it. Dreaming and writing at the same time. And while you're at it, try laughing all the way while riding in a one-horse open sleigh through the hills - and tell me if your jaw drops after that.

This is why, on Christmas eve, I like to go to church. You see, in church, they only sing Christmas hymns, and maybe, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, which is about the only Christmas song written by a human.

Christmas hymns are all about the birth of Jesus Christ, and whether you're Christian or not, they're nice to listen to. Because in church, they don't have nosy snowmen, racist (or nose-cist) reindeers and daddy getting a divorce from mommy because she snogged the wrong Santa.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

HA. HA. HA.

and yeah anna! when they're all back, we can finally go sentosa! and can we go marina bay for the steamboat buffet?? and then mahjong at someone's place! yeeeaahh!

went NUS early this morning for the sports bash meeting. and i heard jz's story 4 times. yeah haha. and saw the much-heard-about zy, the nus sports club president. haha. jz's story is just stuck in my head la. anw. the meeting was interesting. and oh laurene n i saw the canoe polo ppl training. woah! lol.
went back to sch aft that to do the portfolio photoshoot and had a lengthy campus radio programming mtg with wy. its... mind-boggling.


busy busy. life's getting busy. and i like it. better than nothing to do ahahaha. as long as its not academic matters, i like being busy.

1) campus radio programming. lots to do for that. just LOTS

2) legal matters concerning campus radio. this should be interesting. interesting to see how the music industry works eh. only thing is, LOTS of reading to do!

3) T.U.S.H oh this is interesting! haha.

*drumroll*
yes i went to do my hair over the weekend. and im offically an ah lian-wannabe. lol. the colours are damn bright. buess the hair stylist thought that light brown and yellow are about the same.

met cq to catch a movie.. its gd talking to him. its the kind where u can talk abt nothing but felt like u talk abt so many things. yeah ok the oxymoron strikes again. i like word. oxymoron. oxymoronic. lol.
went to watch without a paddle. its a dumbass show. wickedly funny. laughing so hard! one of the best laughs together with shrek 2 and white chicks and the incredibles. esp the 3 almost-naked guys huddled together in the rain. wayfunny. ahahahaha. thx for the company..


hmmm chatted with anna.. n i realised we are more alike than i ever thought it is. and yeah we do lead rather dramatic lives eh. oh well. one thing i admire abt u girl, is ur frank-ness without being tactless, ur wit without being sarcastic..

i guess some things in life will remain elusive, there might never be that one thing where i think i am good enough at. let it remain at that. im still trying to figure my way out. and up. when i really think about it, everything that has happened has helped me grow. i know that sounds cliche. but i think i'm beginning to realise the true meaning of those words.

a string of almosts but nothing concrete
that has been my story so far aint it? its a really good summary. for everything. i dunoe. the only concrete stuffs are me, my family, my past, bain and kelvina. hurhur i just realised it sounds rather depressing. no la its not meant to be that way. its just, u know, something i realised that's all.

is it that i cant be good at whatever i do? or that my good is maybe never good enough? what is good anyway?

now i'm hoping for an arsenal win haha. for the first time in a darn darn long time, i want arsenal to win. cut the darn lead to 6 points. and watch man utd thrash fulham on tuesday morning. (hopefully)

oh fuck it when ppl talk about grades. i mean c'mon, if u've got good grades, good for you! if i've got good grades, good for me too! but what's the point of talking about it again and again? and now i'm writing one entry about ppl talking abt grades. ironic isnt it? i just cant stand it when people keep harping on why they cant score the A+ and As. the shitload of crap about "A is average only. the whole word is getting 4.something." and ppl feeling disappointed when they get A for something. i mean, HELLO! stop that crap already. congratulations on getting your A. you've got your A, i've got my A, now can we stop talking about grades already? if u really wanted that A+, then shut up and work hard for next term la.

no offence to anyone, i'm just venting my uhm, feelings.

i realised i forgot to configure my "add to my favourites" link.. so if u've ever clicked on that before, its time to click it again.. the previous link was wrong. =)

In your heart in your mind

If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

eh what u want me to blog? of how i screwed up my FA upside down inside out? haha. or maybe u wanna hear abt how i finally packed my room and threw away all the comms and LTB stuff? cos that's what i did yesterday..

today went to sch.. and on impulse, i decided to join jz and co. to be part of the organising comm of the NUS-NTU-SMU combined sports bash that's gonna take place sometime in February at ChinaBlack. i dont know how come will get that sort of impulse, its the same impulse i got when deciding to help organise Waikiki 2005 also. lol.
then went for driving and laughed my ass off cos my driving instr almost strike 4D. he wanted to buy 1226 but wrote 1266 instead so he cancelled it. in the end, 1266 came out in the consolation prize ahahaha.

yupz that's abt it. tmr gotta go sch again at 5pm then mtg kel in the evening. tt's all.

ohyeah, who wanna club on fri? someone suggested new asia pub. is it any good?

kakashi the copy ninja! =D

i really kinda like the opacity effect. i've made so many changes to the opacity of the sidebar, sometimes totally opaque, sometimes varying the degree of opacity.. initially i thought the hanyu pinyin of the lyrics of jie kou spoiled the whole picture but then again... i kinda like it now that its used with this level of opacity. oh haha.

today i read a newspaper article on football, the moeny, its superstars and racism. more precisely, why some black players (read: rio ferdinand and ashley cole) are not so willing to speak out against racism. hah i felt as though i was reading a 2-page article about nothing. it was just going in circles. a waste of space.

i dont know. i'm done thinking about some stuff. it was stupid. now that i look back.. haha. insignificant really.

crap my bro took away my nail cutter and now i cant cut my nails n one of my nails is irritating me.


------

yeah this is actually the first time i'm using a blog skin that features a celebrity. but when i saw this pic, i felt like i have to use this picture. my one and only jay ahahaha. if u're using IE to view this, it has some fade-in effect that i like a lot. took me a long time to find the script for that!

a.n.w.
had one of the best family dinner in a long time... steamboat buffet at marina bay! nonstop eating.. is that shiok or what haha. havent had that in a long time. makes me staying at home on a saturday worthwhile!
then drank bacardi lime and watched soccer with my dad. now that's a great way to relax on a saturday nite too. who says sat nite is abt clubbing? no clubbing on sats! haha.

wonder how long i'll stay with this blogskin.. currently cant think of what other themes i want for my skin so i guess jay'll have to stay for some time! =)
