Hello world!

Since Nadia Oon Su Fen aka Nabalalala Lu Lu Lu Drogba Le Le (try saying it fast), I Parveena The Great am posting. Sharan and her Shaminators will be joining me today as well. :)

Well, Naddy has been cursing Milan for taking away the Champions League trophy from her beloved Liverpool laddies. But hey, MILAN ARE FUCKING HOT RIGHT! Hahaha! (Gilardino! Maldini!... becomes spastic) (SHA: KAKA! KAKA! KAKA! ♥♥♥♥)

Sha and I have been totally obsessing over PrisonBreak. She completed the whole 2 seasons but i'm still at season 1!!! Sha's IN LOVE with Michael Scofield(Wentworth Miller) and she absolutely does not approve of my obsession over T-Bag(Robert Knepper) I mean, just love the character. The things he says are effing hilarious.

Okay, enough of us. This IS Nadia's blog. Heh! So, incase you people are wondering about the latest er, happenings on the tagboard...

You see, Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast, Africa has a thing for Nadia (thus the nick name Nabalalala Lu Lu Lu Drogba Le Le) The others got jealous (eg: Stevie G, Peter etc.) cos they have feelings for Nadia too. So, it aaaalll depends on who Nadia the Not-So-Great choses. In my opinion, it should be Droggy darling 'cos well, they have showers together and stuff... Nadia could seriously do so much better. Like they say, love is blind.

SHA : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

right now nadia is amusing herself by staring at par's wall
par told her to pretend she's a statue and she's ACTUALLY doing it
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! DONT I HAVE ONE VERY RETARDED BEST FRIEND
(the other one isnt any better, but she's gonna kill me for saying it)

Robert Knepper is GENIUS! Seriously, who can portray a character like T-Bag?! :)-- Par

MICHAEL IS MY PROPERTY :D --- SHA

2007-04-23T02:26:00.000-07:00

I'm in dire need of a new skin... But I'm so friggin' lazy to make one. No inspiration either. AND my photoshop skills are whacked. The last time I used photoshop for graphic-making was... a VERY long time ago. Also! I'm considering moving to Livejournal, but that wouldn't be so soon. Maybe in June when I have the time to set up an entirely new blog.

OKAY! I'm here to blog about... KUROSAGI (クロサギ)! I finished it in the wee hours of Saturday morning. GREAT show. Its based on the manga of the title.

Synopsis:
There are three types of swindlers in this world:
Shirosagi (name literally means white swindler) - Swindles money
Akasagi (means red swindler) - Using their beauty to cheat people

And then there's Kurosagi (black swindler) whose real name is Kurosaki, who preys on both Shirosagi and Akasagi (well mainly Shirosagi).

Yamashita (YAMAPI!!!!! <3333333) plays Kurosaki, a young man whose family was destroyed by a swindler 6 years ago. What happened: his father was cheated by a Shirosagi and with the debts he had, he resorted to killing his family and himself. However, his son survived. RANDOM NOTE: The killing scene flashbacks (which happen A LOT) are damn scary...

Okay so Kurosaki began a new life, seeking revenge on all the Shirosagis in the world. He destroys swindler after swindler, meaning: he swindles them and returns the money to the victims they cheated and they land in jail. Quoting from a police officer, 'like a modern Robin Hood! Where he gets his info? From this swindler king named Katsuragi.

I absolute LOVE the plot of the show and its so wonderful to watch! Why? Every episode there's a swindler he's after, and to watch the way he does it is awesome. He's so bloody friggin smart! When the swindlers think they're gonna win, he acts like he's gonna lose it, but actually he has everything under control. Everything is so well planned. AND when he deals with each of the swindlers, he has a different disguise, which is so super-cool. For example, in Episode 1, he was a geeky and stupid office worker, in Episode 2, he was a preppy student among others. Others include a beng, a fashionable gayish guy, a psychic in a kimono and more. When he's not swindling he's mostly decked out in black (KUROsagi - BLACK swindler, get it? LOL).

Then there's this girl named Yoshikawa Tsurara, whose uncle is the one he helps in the very first episode. She detested Kurosaki at first, citing that he's a criminal all the same even though he helps victims. But later DUH she falls in love with him. She also has a best friend, Yukari, who's the most annoying biatch ever. To Kurosaki she's all cutesy, but when she overhears Tsurara's confession she becomes SO mean to Tsurara. I don't know HOW Tsurara can stand treatment like that. In the end, Yukari's jealousy leads her to reveal the location that Kurosaki will be heading to, to the police when they were hunting for Kurosaki. AND TSURARA FORGAVE HER. There's also this ANNOYING police officer called Kashina, he's so... ARH he beat up Kurosaki for nothing. I mean, police officers can't just beat up people on the street like that.

Yamapi sings the theme song for Kurosagi, which is called Daite Senorita. Like a lot of Jpop songs, I didn't like it at first but then after listening a few times I LOOOOVE it now. I love Yamapi in this show seriously, he's really cool. I love the BANG thing he keeps doing, and the way he talks OH GAWD the way he talks. *AHHHH* *clears throat* so where was I? Ah the show...

One of my favourite episodes has to be (OF COURSE) Episode 2, which guest stars Yamapi's fellow NEWS bandmate, Koyama. Koyama plays Kurosaki's best friend from high school, Tanabe Satoshi. After the family tragedy Yamapi disappeared from Satoshi's life. Satoshi was obviously devastated. So then they bumped into each other one day and Satoshi recognized Kurosaki and he hugged him, crying. He was SO happy to see Kurosaki. Like really really happy. Then Kurosaki goes to Katsuragi for the usual swindler information. Katsuragi gives him info on 2 sibling swindlers. Kurosaki is shocked to see that one of them is SATOSHI. However he has no choice and he goes on to betray Satoshi. At the end, when Satoshi was captured, it was SO SAD. There was a fence between him and Kurosaki which is sort of like a wall between them, metaphorizing the fact that they are no longer friends due to Satoshi being a swindler. In high school, Satoshi would climb over the fence to Kurosaki, that was when they were friends. Shit... literature is SERIOUSLY starting to affect me. And the annoying police officer BANGED Satoshi's head against the fence like SO HARD. I was so pissed -.- I felt so sad seriously, but hey at least I got to see Koyama in this show lol.

CAPS:

Satoshi crying... and hugging Kurosaki ^^ That's when they first saw each other in Episode 2.

Them in high school, lying over the fence.

The fence part. Satoshi is going all NANDE (WHYYYYY)?!?!?!?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The picture speaks for itself eh?

The same pose at the last part of the last episode.

Murder is written all over that hot face of his ^^

AHH this part is T-T

I realize I have no pics of the other characters (Satoshi's just a guest star LOL) OR any of Kurosaki's many disguises. Yeah! SO GO WATCH THE FRIGGIN SHOW!!! THESE PICTURES DON'T DO KUROSAKI JUSTICE IN THE VERY LEAST!

I'm now (MUCH) more addicted to Yamapi than before. So I'm probably gonna watch Nobuta Wo Produce and the new one, Proposal Daisakusen. Japanese dramas are convenient and short. I love korean dramas but I've never been the drama type of person due to the amount of time I have to spend watching them. DON'T ARGUE WITH ME MARIE LOL!

Ok... I'm ending for now.. might add another post later with an update on my life, maybe some real thoughts, haven't done that for a while. And 1 Litre of Tears caps, just realized I didn't add earlier. Signing off for now!

TODAY'S POST: MUSIC REVIEWS ^^

Ok and THEN an update on my dandy life yeah?

Alrighty, now the reason for this is 'cause my Yesasia package arrived yesterday. Being me, I've hardly listened to any of them and probably never will LOL. But I shall try...

PICS FROM: YESASIA
YES PEOPLE GO BUUUUY!

1. NEWS - 星をめざして (Hoshi wo mezashite) Single

Okay so I didn't order this... *feels very bad for not buying*. I LOOOOOVE NEWS!!! Ok so I admit, I didn't like them at first (yeah I called them stick-armed freaks that all sound the same OH MY GOD I'm SO evil, I feel so bad now LOL) but decided to give this single a try. I thought it was cheesy initially, I watched the MV and found it even cheesier. Then I watched a perf. It was like... seeing the LIGHT seriously. Just their 10 second acapella intro got me hooked (I replayed a gazillion times) and changed my mind completely. LOL I realize I'm not talking about the songs! Hoshi wo mezashite is such an awesome song, it makes me smile. I'm so not kidding about this! I'm not tired of it yet xD I'm not really fond of Boom! Boom! POWER though, and the other 2 songs are okay-ish. I'm sure they'll grow on me though, just like the earlier DongBang songs.

2. Mika Nakashima (中島美嘉) - YES

The title reminds me of Son HoYoung's album -.-
Got this at HMV one weekend. I wasn't even planning to buy it, but my Mum was all: "COME ALL THE WAY HERE NEVER BUY ANYTHING!". So I bought it, and my Dad encouraged it because he liked Yuki No Hana (beautiful song^^). Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Mika's voice. She can sing well, no doubt but her voice isn't very appealing to me. I did like her works as a NANA artist though... VERY much. I recommend that more than I recommend this album. The first track is a song I'm sure we have all heard in SOME way, I was never quite fond of it so... yeah. My favourite is the second track. A nice, powerful ballad.

3. Big Bang Vol.1 - Since 2007

Big Bang love <3 Half of the songs on the album were previously released in their singles. Each member also has a little... 'solo'.

G-Dragon - This Love
Yeppers its the korean hiphop version of Maroon 5's popular song 'This Love'. I didn't like it much at first but I really listened to it, I started to appreciate how well done it was. It's really good ^^

Tae-yang - My Girl
Typical R&B song. But Tae-yang has a lovely Usher-like voice. Soleil's description: 'It makes me melt like butter!' I agree ^^ G-dragon and T.O.P raps a little in here too.

T.O.P - Big Boy (featuring Lee Eun Joo)
Ok I love G-Dragon's rapping and all, but I always found T.O.P the COOL one. Like in La-La-La, his rap is my FAVOURITE part I swear. Soleil doesn't like it because apparently his voice breaks all the time. I think its on purpose lah, but I didn't like the voice-crack in Forever With You. However this song is... listenable, but I can't listen to it more than once.

Seungri - 다음날 (Da Eum Nal)
This song will take a little while to grow on me... but its nice overall. And Seungri has a sweet, boyish voice.

Daesung - 웃어본다 (Usuh bonda)I LOVE Daesung's singing... I knew his solo would be a ballad of some sort. He's, IMO, the best singer here. The song isn't fantastic, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

For the rest of the songs, I'm sure ya'll know of We Belong Together, which is an AWESOME song. Parkbom has a great voice (my Mum says it gives her a headache though). The song is just addictive, if you haven't heard it yet you should GO YOUTUBE IT NOOOOW, then you'll see what I mean. Forever With You also features Parkbom, however its not as good as We Belong Together. Rather ironically, the instrumental to the song is a little tweaked 'We Belong Together' by Mariah Carey. I didn't like it at first, but I like it now LOL. Soleil says Parkbom sounds like a robot in it, but heh its for the effect! La-la-la is a nice upbeat and rather cheery song (in which T.O.P's rap is ULTRA COOL). *Sings* LALALA, EVERYBODY GET A MAT (LOL it's supposed to be everybody get em HOT). Then there's Dirty Cash, I like the title LOL! It's a very... light-hearted song, very cute too. 눈물뿐인 바보 (A Fool's Tears) is a nice little R&B song that I listen to every now and then ^^ I'm quite surprised that the songs V.I.P and B I G B A N G didn't make it to the track list, I was under the impression that they were the main songs of their respective singles. No matter, I don't like those songs anyway LOL! Highly recommended album!

4. Click-B - The Best of Click-B (1999-2004)

Old school K-pop baby! Click-B was (yes WAS T-T) a 7-member band. 4 singers/rappers and 3 players. I love them! Sadly, they were overshadowed by fellow Old School K-pop groups like H.O.T, Sechskies etc. I personally think they were underrated. They only tasted success with 백전무패 (Baek Juhn Mu Pae) which is SUCH AN AWESOME SONG! And that was in their THIRD album! For those of you who play Audition you should know this song, I think they translate it as Defeat in Audition. Wonderful song! I'm not tired of it yet. Anyway... 3 of the band members left and their 4th album had only 4 members. Eventually it reduced to 3, then they disbanded and now 2 members have gone solo. Oh Jong Hyuk (under the name OJ now) and Hosuk (under the name EVAN). OJ's album wasn't very impressive, he's still my fave Click-B member though. He's the one whose fan was trampled to death during some fanmeeting. He was so depressed about it he nearly gave up his career, but he eventually recovered and wrote a song for her. EVAN's was a pleasant surprise, I LOVE 남자도... 어쩔 수 없다. LOVELY song. He's a lot more manly now too, and his singing has changed a whole lot xD Ok WHY am I talking about songs that are not in this collection LOL! Anyway my faves are of course, 백전무패 as well as To Be Continued.

5. Battle - Crash Single

Long awaited single from the guys of Battle Shinhwa. The first time I heard this song, was in the MV of the title song, Crash. It didn't make much impact and I forgot how it sounded barely a minute after listening. I watched one of their perfs and that made a bigger impact. The song isn't much... but their vocals aren't bad. Especially Taehwa (guy with purple streak in his hair), he somehow reminds me of Yesung of Suju, only his voice is more stable and less 'emotionalized'. Chris is a pretty good too, I loved his line in Crash. Hwichan, for SOME reason, reminds me of some taiwanese bandboy, but LOL I like him. He has a cute, boyish voice. Despite Crash being a fast song, the rappers didn't really show off, you don't really hear their individual rapping. However one flaw would be their English, Chris did well with his little 'I'll do' LOL but the rest of the song's English was bleh. Their English doesn't irk me as much as SS501's though. I enjoyed Icarus, like I mentioned earlier, good vocals here! Some rapping in here, but I think rapping doesn't really fit into the song that well. Nevertheless, good song. Damn come to think of it, its kind of like a JUNIOR VERSION of Shinhwa's Once In A Lifetime! Flying Up is an okay song, vocals as good as always, rapping as well. There was this English narration, should be Chris, really good! Overall... this is recommended^^ I suggest you watch their Crash perfs if you haven't already. Their dancing is LOVE. I watched one LIVE perf and their live singing ain't bad! Lotsa potential!

6. Xing - In Your Hands

I didn't buy this, but I just HAD to review it. ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY: KEVIN'S VOICE IS AMAZING. The first track, which is an English In Your Hands, sung entirely by Kevin, is awesome. Its better than the korean one (mainly because Kevin sings the whole thing LOL)! His voice is soooo... soothing and so sweet! BOTH his English and Korean diction... darn CUTE. Seriously you'll feel like hugging the little dude! And the thing is, I DIDN'T LIKE THEM AT FIRST!!! Why? Because the first song I heard was the In Your Hands Korean version. It didn't really make much of an impact and I don't find any of them very cute. And I found Kim Kibum's (Little brother of SS501's Hyungjoon) stage name, Marumir, strangely annoying. Even his hairstyle was elf-ish. However, the english one BLEW ME AWAY. GO LISTEN, its instant love!

7. 김태우 Vol.1 - 하고 싶은 말

Its Kim Tae Woo formerly of g.o.d! His voice is HEAVEN I tell you. I admit I expected more out of him in this album, but its a good effort anyways. I loved all his collaborations. He collaborated with artists like J-Lim (Lim Jeong Hee), Lyn, Suho and fellow bandmate (well EX-bandmate) Son HoYoung. I love Hoyoung's voice too so yeah naturally I loved their song. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether his music is your cup of tea, just try him out anyways because his voice is pure heaven. On a side note, he recently left to serve the army. But before leaving, he released a little digital single called Be Alright. Really cool and light-hearted song that I enjoy listening to.

8. K.Will Vol.1 - Left Heart

This guy can really SING. He can reach so friggin' high! Those of you who watched A Love To Kill will know of him for sure. He sings 꿈 (Dream), which is a really good song. Anyway... my absolute favourite from this album is his duet with Kim Tae Woo (whose album review is just above this LOL). The song isn't really the kind I usually like, but their voices more than make up for that. They make a really good pair too. Honestly Kim TaeWoo shines more in this song, but K.Will sounds as good as ever as well. He also has a duet with Baek Jiyoung, called Day & Night. Although you hear more of Baek Jiyoung than K.Will, its still a very nice song. Random trivia: I listened to the WHOLE album at one go! That's how impressed I was. I liked all but 1 or 2 of the songs here. So yeah highly recommended.

9. Super Junior-T - Rokuko Single

LOL what to say about this single eh? Okay I shall start off with how this came about. Super Junior-T is a subgroup of Super Junior (which has 13 members). Super Junior-T is made up of 6 of those 13 members. Another 3 members make up another subgroup called K.R.Y. Okay so Super Junior-T does trot (that's what the T stands for) which is basically realllllly old school music. Of course, they add their own flavour and modern tang to it. K.R.Y does ballads, but we ain't talking about them now so yeah. Rokuko is actually the reverse of Kokuro, its a... very wacky song. The boys wear sequinned jackets LOL. Heechul does well here, as expected, he's like... in his ELEMENT. Eeteuk does well too, another trot singer LOL. Sungmin sounds really cute singing trot and the rest are just meh... Rokuko's MV was really funny though, the 'olden classroom' part or whatever it was... was really hilarious. The rap part of the song, which illustrated Eunhyuk and Shindong arguing with each other and torturing poor Sungminnie in the process. I'm not into trot but they're just so cute singing trot. I really like the third track though, I fell in love with their earlier performance of that song. So glad they recorded it!

10. Brian (of Fly To The Sky) - The Brian

For those who don't know Fly To The Sky is one of my favourite K-pop groups ever and they were one of my first. They're a duo, consisting of Brian and Hwanhee. After their lovely 6th, they decided to do some solo projects. So Hwanhee went into acting and did Over The Rainbow (he was really cool in it but sadly, the show wasn't very good) and Brian went to MC-ing and also came out with this album! I don't care WHAT my Dad says (he prefers Hwanhee), Brian's singing rocks! And his english, it isn't just good, its HOT LOL! Can you see I'm spazzing? Albeit mildly, but still lol. The first track is 일년을 겨울에 살아 which is translated into something like 1 year in the winter. Its a very sad-sounding song, lotsa emotions and that kinda shit. The MV is really sad too, if you ignore the fact that Jun Hyebin MELTED.
The second track is really nice, less sad but just as nice. Basically the tracks are similar to the ballad/R&B trademark of FTTS, only this is probably lighter material. Well its BRIAN how can his songs not be reminiscent of FTTS? I keep expecting Hwanhee to come in at anytime LOL. There's also an english version of track 8, which is just so hot xD All in all, this solo album was great for Brian to showcase his awesome vocals. Definitely recommended.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hah! Update on the baddy's life?

Well yesterday was... weird. During Lit the teachers called me out to do the hotseating activity thing. And during reading I was called for a dialogue session, my form teacher must think I'm some politically incorrect freak now LOL. Basically I revealed SOME of my sentiments, careful not to reveal too much and I told the truth ^^ well except for one big fat lie...

Then I went to the Drama SYF to support my CCA. I was freezing. Think about it, Nadia loves the cold. She can sit in a room of about 28 degrees celsius and sweat like pig without moving. SO YEAH MY POINT IS: IT WAS DAMN COLD! Well we WERE sitting directly under the air-conditioning. The Cedar ELDDS drama has improved a lot, the acting was great. We also watched IJTP and SJC, SJC's props were really awesome. As we were leaving the auditorium, I bumped into an ex-schoolmate: Jacintha. I wasn't sure if it was her, but she recognized me and said hi lol. She asked if they were good. And yeah they definitely were, the props were just awesome. The diction was great too. It was a little hard to understand, I mean I get the main gist and theme of it, but not some of the scenes displayed. However I didn't like one of the actress's acting. And that's about all the critique I can give. IJTP were good too, acting wise. Their plot wasn't very interesting, though I did like the ending very much. Basically it was going round and round in circles all for the purpose of the final line. But yeah I'm really impressed with all three performances I watched.

After that, Joy, Isis, Aarthi and I went to Dhoby Ghaut for Subway, then walked to the Cathay to get free ice-cream (Ben&Jerry's free cone day!). The queue snaked all the way UP THE ESCALATOR. Joy and Isis decided not to queue and went off to find a place to eat their food. So Aarthi and I queued. It moved pretty fast actually.

When I got home... I was exhausted. Slept till 9, ended up not being able to sleep at night - as usual.

For today, I had vocal class. Yeah I changed it from Fridays to Wednesdays. I couldn't take it anymore LOL! So now I won't have to rush from CCA to vocal class. After a long Friday I'd be even more tired. I should've changed it to Wednesday LONG ago, I did so much better despite being a little out of breath from rushing (I LEFT THE HOUSE AT 4.30! Lesson started at 5).

Whats upcoming? Ah well... NAPFA 5 items is next week. I'll flunk pullups. The next Friday would be the 2.4km run LOL I'm 100% SURE to flunk that. Surely. Definitely. Teacher told me to get special shoes for the flat-footed or at least some sport shoes, but yeah I didn't. So basically I'm screwed^^ Gah its 12 AM and I'm friggin starving. That's it for now. Long entry I know LOL.

Naddy Waddy The Baddy

2007-04-16T02:25:00.000-07:00

Today's post will be divided into two parts: what happened yesterday and 1 litre of tears (ichi littoru no namida) review.

---------------

Part 1 - Vis-a-Vis

My parents, whether they like it or not, have to wine and dine and go clubbing every now and then. Just yesterday both my parents went to a Danish restaurant with my Dad's Danish boss and my Mum was yakking away about the patte the whole day. (For those who don't know patte is whipped goose liver, its like a paste)

Only occasionally do us kids get to join in. Sidney goes more often than me because of my reluctance and laziness. But yesterday I could not say no because today is my Dad's birthday. So we went with MQ to Vis-a-Vis, a french restaurant. After the meal... I can say I have absolutely no regrets despite Monday blues.

The dinner for the 5 of us cost 508.62 ^^ LOL! For our starters, Sidney had Escargot (that's snails in case someone retarded doesn't know what this is), MQ had french onion soup and Mum, Dad and me had Foie Gras (that's goose liver). The Foie Gras cost 33 bucks each mind you. It is also very high in cholestrol, so much so that it was almost banned. Of course there was a huge uproar in France due to the delicacy being a billion-dollar business. For the main courses, Sidney had Foie-Gras-stuffed chicken, Mum and MQ had beef Sirloin steaks, Dad had lamb and I had veal (that's young cow meat). My veal dish was awesome, it was so ahhhh. Mum and Dad like to tease me because I like my meat well done... but I'm beginning to appreciate medium rare meat, though I think I still can't appreciate RARE though. Sidney's dish had some veggies on it, plus some mashed potato and he thought it was cauliflower LOL!

Ok the dessert... was heaven. Each dessert had different components meant to be eaten together for the ultimate experience lol. I had a chocolate torte to myself, it came with a baked caramelized banana and homemade rum n raisin ice cream. It was *swoons*. The rest of the gang had a chocolate torte and lemon souffle to share. The lemon souffle came with mango sherbet and meringue.

And how can anyone forget the wine? It was superb. From the first taste I knew it was different from other wines I tasted. It had a much more refined taste. The more I drank the more I wanted to drink and the bigger my sips became xD The one in charge (according to Dad he serves ministers when they book the private function area upstairs) has real passion for his job. He serves everyone wearing this smile on his face, and he chats with all the customers. While serving, he'd tell you about the dish or the wine or whatever. When he was preparing the wine (pouring it through a long funnel into this elaborate vase-like jug) he turned to Sidney and said: 'This is called 'airating (sp?)' it, makes a whole lot of difference. So today you learned a new word!'. He also joked that he and his staff have strong arm muscles because the dessert platters weigh over 3 kg. And when he was refilling my wine glass he told me: 'Drink more red wine! Keeps you young.' It ended with Mum asking him how old he thought she was, which is what MQ terms the DEADLY question.

It was a very enjoyable dinner definitely ^^

-------------------

Part 2 - 1 Litre of Tears

Its a japanese drama that aired waaaay back in '05 but I didn't watch because well... I wasn't interested. I got Marie to watch it as well. Its the saddest thing ever. It's based on the true story of Kitou Aya, who passed away in 1988 at the age of 25.

Synopsis:
Ikeuchi Aya (I really don't like how the surnames are in front -.-) is a 15 year old schoolgirl who excels in her studies and in sports as well. She is then diagnosed with Spinal Cerebellar Degenerative disease. I don't quite understand it but apparently the 2 parts of the body that controls movements are being destroyed and the nerve cells are dying slowly. So gradually she won't be able to walk properly, and in the end she won't be able to walk at all, speak, eat properly etc. She kept a diary until the day she could not hold a pen.

It is the most touching thing I've ever watched. After getting this disease, she stayed strong and lived on. True courage really. If I were her I'd just curl up and die. Though there was a love interest involved, he isn't the main focus and what's more, she ended their relationship in the end (if you could even call it a romantic relationship).

I cried so much, till I had red and swollen eyes and a blocked nose. One of the things that touched me a lot was how her sister Ako, matured a WHOLE LOT after Aya got the disease. She scolded their brother Hiroki for being ashamed of Aya when before she was the typical teen rebel. I cried so much at that part. She made a 180 degree change. I love Aya's family really, they're so cute and warm. And they support they gave her when she was sick, really really touching.

Then there's Asou Haruto (played by Ryo Nishikido from NEWS ^^). He's a reserved slightly emo kid that was very much affected by his older brother's death 2 years ago. That's what caused him to recluse, then he met Aya lol. I loved his little speech when he rushed to see her at the disability school. You can't help falling for the guy. Asou didn't exist in the life of the real Kitou Aya though, her mother is the one who requested that she found love in the drama, so they included him.

IN SHORT: I REALLY REALLY RECOMMEND THIS. I don't care whether you like watching asian dramas or not (I'm not much of a drama person either) but this one is... definitely worth watching. You're guaranteed to cry... a WHOLE LOT.

The real Aya, even though she died a long time ago, people are still very much encouraged by her words. What she wrote in her diary... very meaningful. After the end of each episode, there will be mini slideshows of the real Aya and snippets from her diary. That part always makes me cry.

The theme song is Only Human by K^^ Anyone who wants it can ask me.

This.blog.is.so.dead

But I feel like blogging for some reason so here I am!

Last Friday I met up with Par and Sha before going to PP Macs together where Yanyan was waiting for us. A while later TTK and Sisca arrived and the boys stopped playing basketball and came to join us. Fabian was the last to arrive and we were all shocked by how he looked. First thing TTK and I asked whether he was wearing makeup. Seriously his complexion is so... envy-worthy. As usual in TTK's words he 'tried to be emo but just can't hide his inner gay (the happy one) and retarded self'. The rest were pretty restless so we went to the basketball court where they played AGAIN. They have improved lots since primary school. Lots more style involved now.

CNY this year was boring... the weather killed me under all that makeup. I hate how makeup is so uncomfortable and I hate the smell of them. Especially lipsticks/glosses. Gah one thing I hate is how I eat so much during CNY and its killing my precious throat. On Sunday after visiting I was pooped and my feet ached. It sucks having flat feet. Melissa and family went to my place and stayed till about 10PM. I didn't shower till then, felt so dirty. Mum wanted to take pictures of me in my beaded royal-purple halter dress but surprisingly, I wasn't in the mood. I looked horrible and scruffy anyway.

On Monday we went out and watched 'Epic Movie'. It was... so-so. We laughed throughout the movie but it was stupid, just like Scary Movie and its sequels. Most of the shops were closed and only the eateries were open so it was pretty much a bore-fest. In the end we decided to go over to Par's house, where TTK and I finished an entire tun of Ben & Jerry's Fossil Fuel ice-cream ('cause Par didn't like it). When I came home I was greeted by morethanadozen pairs of staring eyes. Yeah parents' friends popped over for celebrations of their own. Again I was deadweight because of the effing weather so I declined Mum's wine offer. Went straight to my room and voila, Sid and his Pakistani friends were at the computer. Wonderful... just wonderful.

So now its Tuesday night and my mind is saturated with dread. Seriously I feel like I could DIE dreading school. I haven't done my chinese homework, both the essay and the fortknightly thingy was due a week ago and 2 weeks ago respectively. Worst part is I do not know where to begin doing, I suck at chinese. Period. Tomorrow I have a Lit test on Mockingbird and I haven't even finished reading the 4th chapter. I have no idea what's tested either. I also haven't even started on my Spanish homework, Par has finished it! On a lighter note though, there's no vocal class this Friday so REJOICE! Due to lack of practice I ain't improving much.

So many things to do and yet here I am spending the whole afternoon watching Heroes xD And bleh Rach just went off. Lately my memory has been really bad, I forgot about vocal course fees for 2 weeks, forgot about Spanish homework for 3 weeks and a bunch of other stuff.

I'm terrified for the Barca match, my Liv MUST win or I'll totally die T-T and Par you SUCK!

<333
Abrazos y besos!

HI! My first post in AGES will be about my experience yesterday at the JYP auditions!

I got up at 5.30, thinking we needed to be at Mediacorp Studios at 7, which is what the online poster stated. Sid and I 'cabbed' there, where Rach and Laihan were already waiting. Rach AND Chong Aik were supposed to come for support and Laihan, Sid and I were auditioning. Chong Aik couldn't get up so... yeah, and Marie had her own NDP audition to attend. Soleil was stuck in her own messy situation and was trying her best to come.

We entered this waiting room thingy, where there were quite a few people. We weren't even supposed to be there. At about 8, this guy came in and told us we were supposed to queue up outside. So we all left the room... to face A VERY LONG QUEUE. We were absolutely bewildered. So yes, we went to the back of the queue. Rach and Laihan bought sandwiches from the vending machine while I took the place in the queue. The three of us ate tuna salad sandwiches while Sidney had a mushroom and cheese one.

While at the end of the queue, this guy arrived wearing a slightly see-through white shirt with tiny daisies all over it, sort of like the one Tony An wears for his Yutzpracachia MV and perfs. He asked us what we were waiting for, his english accent was either Japanese or Korean. Later he spoke to his companion, and we found out he was japanese. GUESS WHO'S THIS GUY.... one of the JUDGES lol!

Later Marie told us her audition had finished and she was gonna come for support, and I was getting worried whether Soleil would make it.

Anyway, about an hour or less passed and Laihan, Sid and I were soon the next ones. We were absolutely freaked out... till we found out this queue was just for the application number. Our 'turn' came and the guy came and led us down the carpark, where were shocked to see ANOTHER long queue and an area with many chairs. The guy handed us application forms. After a while the guy asked us to sit on the chairs.

Once our turn came we went up to the table to hand in our forms, and we each got a number. I can still remember them! Laihan was S211, I was S228 and Sid was right after me, S229.

After we got our numbers we were again led to sit on chairs, where other people with numbers were waiting. Later Soleil arrived and Marie and Rachel led her in. She went to queue for a number and Rach and Marie accompanied her. When she reached the end of the queue Marie decided to audition as well. Eventually Rachel ALSO decided to audition! Soleil was S256, Marie was S240 and Rach was S262.

Then we were all led to an air-conditioned room where there were many chairs as well. Laihan was restless, so we went over to where Rach was sitting, Soleil and Marie were already there. They were talking to this 23-year old guy who wanted to ask this girl out. We all started singing together and alone, practising until our numbers were called. Laihan missed hers, and the woman who was calling the numbers was very angry. So Laihan sat on the first chair and me and Sid were a few chairs away.

Long after Laihan had already gone in, Sid, me and this guy Sid made friends with took our individual photos. Then we were led into the entrance of an auditorium. We looked through the curtains to see a STAGE, and the judges were seated on chairs. And there was also a camera recording everything! The 18 year old guy Sid made friends with was right before me and when he went in for his turn. The butterflies in my stomach flew up to my throat and I felt a blockage there! I was panicking and tried to push them down.

Surprisingly though, when it was my turn, they disappeared. Once I stepped on the stage with the mike I was no longer nervous, even when I looked straight at the judges (though I still had low confidence due to my various problems). So I started singing, barely able to hear myself because of the mike. Later I found out that the mike was optional! I should have done it without the mike, maybe then the judges wouldn't be able to hear my mistakes that clearly. They cut me off mid-chorus, they also cut off Sid and the guy before me. I was off-tune practically everywhere.

I exited the auditorium and met the guy before me and Laihan. When Sid came out a guy led us back into the carpark, where we waited for the other 3 to come out. Marie came out first. She sang the first verse of Timeless and refused to go into the chorus lol! Laihan sang the chinese version of Timeless. Both of them didn't get cut off!

When Soleil came out she was really upset, she started off from the verse and into the chorus. She said she did really well in the verse but when it came to the chorus she cracked lotsa times and the judges cut her off. The last to come out was Rachel, she took really long because the judges went for a lunch break before her turn came. She sang Timeless as well.

To sum it all up, it was a really good experience. Now we all know how it feels like. If it had been SM I'd be by the phone 24/7 but with this, whether or not I get in I don't really care. But I definitely don't regret it! And I still cannot believe that I sang on STAGE... to JYP judges! But the whole time I felt like I was auditioning for Superstar, because of the color of the number tags and the contestants.

After the audition we went to Burger King at Compasspoint for lunch, then headed to Marie's house for a recording session! So basically we sang the whole day xD And for the first time in as-long-as-I-can-remember, I slept at 10.30! TEN THIRTY!!!! And woke up at 12 lol... I was just so exhausted.

Right ok... DONE for now. Back to school and homework T-T

2006-12-19T07:40:00.000-08:00

HELLO! I am back once again! Although I'm not sure if people even bother to come here anymore since this blog is practically non-existent xD

Ok er firstly.... TODAY I GOT MY LIVERPOOL WOMENS' JERSEY!!! Will post a pic of the jersey, and a bunch of other shit later. All thanks to Sidney and MY DAD of course. Sid proposed the idea and my dad agreed! He even wanted to get a Liverpool away jersey for himself and print Steven Gerrard behind! Sha and Par came to meet me and we walked around and then went to Plaza Singapura to drink Frappuccinos (sp?) at Starbucks while people-watching. We saw this guy that looked like THIERRY HENRY. Maybe its because we're too obsessed with football but whatever he SO TOTALLY looked like him at some angles! Then we walked around the mall, stopping at Sembawang where I got Ayaka's First Message album. Then went to Times bookstore to look at the football magazines. And lastly went to the ground floor where Sharan got a sour cream and onion pretzel at Auntie Anne's and I got Chicken ham and cheese takoyaki at kimbap (doesn't kimbap mean sushi in korean -.-).

I don't think I should ramble on about football and how happy I am with Liverpool the past few matches so let's talk abt CHRISTMAS. My party/dinner is this Saturday. Ahhh turkey, ham and this year we're also getting BEEF. And lotsa wine going around. IF Sha manages to get her Man U jersey tomorrow, all three of us (Me, Par and Sha) will wear our jersey's on that day xD And take lotsa pics. This Friday I have another Christmas dinner to attend after Singing class.

Okay since I totally owe my brother, I'll probably get him a Dragonball Z DVD or something like that. And maybe get my parents something too. Problem is, I only have 50 bucks to spend (because I blew the rest on stuff) and I'm going Kpop shopping with Rach and maybe Marie this Thursday so 50 bucks is... very VERY meagre.

Alritey! PICS... I just got a new digicam for Christmas from my parents so here are some pics of gifts and whatnot.

Firstly, its Par's brand new Arsenal Jersey!

Aaaaand... MY brand new Liverpool Jersey!

Just to prove a point! xDDD

Most of my lip stuff. Par got me these lipsmackers from the cow country NZ!

Awesome gifts Sha got me from India!

Another Guess? bag Christmas gift from GreatGrams <333>Mum bought me this for school! Although I might not use it for school because whatever I bring to school ends up looking like shit.
Christmas prezzie from Grandma! Its a pretty bracelet. ^^

These aren't exactly up-to-date gifts xDD Lol but I never go without em. The flat diamond ring's from Greatgrams, she gave it to me when I was a kid and being stupid I didn't take care of it. Its so tiny I hafta wear it on my pinky. The Sapphire one is passed down from my mum, her first love gave it to her when she was 18, isn't that sweet? The other two are from my mum. She finally trusts me to take care of these and some others.

OKAY THAT'S IT... I have LOTS more to share but effing Blogger is so annoying when it comes to posting pics so I give up. And I'm hungry so yeah...

'07 is approaching, best wishes to ya'll! Bracing myself for the new year, hopefully it'll end before I know it

2006-11-12T04:32:00.000-08:00

Hello! I'm back haha... first off, I made some random icons:

1. A sunflower picture with leaves, other sunflowers and candles in the background but you can really see 'cause of the effects. The picture was taken at a family friend's wedding so credits go to them and the photographer.

2. Also a picture from the wedding.

3. Another picture from the wedding, which is the WEDDING RINGS resting on a decorated white satin cushion.

4. A rainbow-ized version.

5. Credits : Uhljjang Lee Ji Hoo, Soompi Uhljjang thread.

Oooookay, Arsenal VS Liverpool in a few hours and I'm dead scared. I can't even TALK about it dammit. Liverpool has to win! As i mentioned, I can't talk about it lol... so let's change the subject. I'm going with Par and Sha to sign up for espanol lessons tomorrow! And vocal lessons start on Friday. More stuff coming my way haha.

While Par and Sha are packing their bags and flying off to NZ and India respectively, I'm staying HERE in sunny Singapore 'enjoying myself'. This kinda reminds of the Sisterhood of the Travelling pants, only I wish we had some cool idea like that. Anyway, I have lotsa packing to do myself, my room's a bigger mess than usual with '06 school supplies and shit that needs to be thrown out (damn I haven't even gotten by '07 supplies and books yet) and some to be kept. Then there's a pile of old magazines to be cleared... and yesterday I brought out ALL my jewellery to sort em out, I think I'll need a whole day and the help of my mum to do that. 'Cause I don't know how! And I have too many, I discovered lotsa jewellery I never knew I had.

Ok... that's enough blogging for me, I need to shower!

HAHA Sha was so shocked when she asked me to blog and I said 'ok' immediately when I'd usually procrastinate and end up not doing it. Shows that she and Par ask me to update OUT OF HABIT than actual hope of Naddy's blog being updated xDD. Quoted from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Ok had a sleepover at Par's last weekend which was fun! Only bad thing was that... Arsenal won 3-0, Man U won 3-1, Portsmouth won 2-0 and Liverpool DRAWED with Blackburn 1-1!!! Ahhh... when Liv scored to even the score during the second half I got up and started jumping up and down literally...

Anyway, hung out at Potong Pasir today. First we spent a coupla hours at Macs eating and chatting (mostly chatting) and laughing really loudly, we were SO unsophiscated and uncouth but yeah who cares LOL. Then we headed to the basketball court where, suprisingly, all the boys were, playing bball of course. We though TWO guys were KENNY YEO haha... JUST like how we thought this guy was Cyrus last year... at the very same place. Deja vu much?

Par left to meet her dad at the MRT station to collect her house keys and some money. Sha went with her because she wanted to get another ice-cream cone. Ttk, Sou and I stayed and played Cheat. We weren't even through with our first round (I was doing really well by the way) and this dude dressed mostly in black approached us and asked us if we had another deck of cards to lend him and his friends. We told him we didn't and he asked if he and his friends could join us. Sou and I pushed everything to Ttk and guess what... Ttk said SURE. When he walked away towards his friends, other guys dressed in black, Sou said she already noticed them looking at us the whole time and she didn't like it. In the end I think they were too chicken to join us so they just sat next to us, not literally next to us... but a lot nearer to us than they were before lol...

When Par and Sha returned we played another round. Again, we couldn't finish, Eugene messaged Par telling us to leave because there was trouble. So we left for Macs and later when they arrived they told us that Yun knew one of the fellas and said he was trouble so when he saw the dude talking to us he warned us to leave. Aw they actually looked out for us xD So we spent the rest of our time there chatting and laughing like a bunch of idiots again.

Exam results sucked big time, I don't wanna talk about it! Ok Naddy signing off.

Anyway... since exams are over I will (hopefully) make a new skin and try to blog more often *insert cheers from Sha and Par here* but *sings* NO PROMISES. Hehe.

Speaking of EXAMS, I'm gonna flunk math no doubt... Ah ok in no mood to blog further..

2006-09-10T01:28:00.000-07:00

AH HELLO! Lol haven't blogged in aaages, and I have been forced by Sha and Par to blog! So here I am (yipee...)! Ok so I shall blog about what I've been doing or what has happened throughout this one-week holiday.

Saturday:
It was Cedar's open house! I reached the sch at 7 and got the shock of my life! Ok well not really but yeah I saw this HUGE balloon, you know like those they have on Orchard Road or wherever for advertising. Yeah it was attached to the ground with many strings. And there was more... SKYDANCERS. I mean seriously how much did the school PAY for these stuff, it's just an open house dammit. Anyway to promote my CCA, me and some other girls had to dress up in fantasy floor-touching gowns and for some reason I got one of the ugliest ones. It was red and had ridiculously puffy and lacy sleeves. The bodice had MORE lace with satin roses that had pearl beads poking outta them, and the stomach area was full of red beads and stuff. The skirt layers were satin and MORE lace. GAWD it was SO lacy and felt so itchy. One of my seniors commented that I looked like Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro but I think Tereza looked more like it. Her dress was a red and black ruffles-crazy sorta gown and it looked tango-ish so yeah... There were four other gowns, one was a simple sleeveless blue evening gown (Sarena thinks its the nicest), another was a pink princess-y one with a huge rose in the middle (and I think this is the nicest one) and the last two were hideous and one of them was too huge or anybody to wear. But the skirt of that particular dress was nice... it was red satin underneath covered with black lace. Other costumes included a fisherman/farmer turned samurai, a jester, the grim reaper and a genie.

Gah it was torture to walk around the school in that dress especially when it came to STAIRS. For some reason we were all so exhausted and lethargic not to mention HUNGRY. I couldn't be more relieved when the whole thing ended.

Wednesday:
I went out with Par, Sha, Ttk and Rach. We watched Lovewrecked at the Cathay Cineleisure, it was so incredibly stupid and Jason Masters is so effing disgusting. We walked to the DQ after that for Brownie Temps and a Strawverry Cheesequake for Sharan as usual. We all ordered large and I was the only one who couldn't finish. I barely got through half of the melty ice-cream, we should have gone to the Taka DQ instead. Anyway we ended up going to Taka and looking at books at Kinokuniya (stupid me forgot to bring my 40-dollar voucher). On the first floor we saw these really pretty earrings and necklaces (but uber expensive). And I bought some skins for my NanoWano, and angel and a devil! I'll upload pics next time if I can.

Thursday:
BBQ! It was pretty fun, even though I hate typical icebreaker games (Double Whacko etc.). The food wasn't fantastic but it was great to sit down and chat... about soccer LOL. My new obsession is Arne Friedrich! I always liked him but yeah I like him MORE now for some reason.

Speaking of soccer, I am SO PISSED at Everton for winning Liverpool. I mean I like Everton and all but whatever LIVERPOOL SHOULD'VE WON T-T... and Sharan can say : Hey at least Nuno Valente's team won. I DON'T FRIGGIN CARE ABOUT NUNO VALENTE!! I like Tim Cahill but bleh he scored for Everton. Poor Arsenal is one of the bottom teams, what is happening?!

Ok before I write a WHOLE essay on recent soccer matches I shall stop here...

HAPPY NOW?!

Yeah lately my blog has been devoid of entries lol... ok so I shall finally update.

Let's talk about my dreams shall we. No not the ambition kinda dream... the where-you-go-when-you-sleep kinda dream. Ok well actually the bottom line is... I have stupid dreams. Soleil has wonderful dreams... ok not so wonderful at times but still a 1000 times better than mine.

Let's talk about her dreams first.
- She dreamt that she and I were GETTING MARRIED, yes you read right... So anyway our husbands were late and we were both waiting in separate ballrooms that were just next to each other (this part is stupid why can't we just have our wedding together, half our friends go to her wedding and the other half to mine?), then when they finally got ready they rushed to the lobby and they just barged into the rooms that they thought they were supposed to go, so yeah they both barged into the wrong room. And at her wedding... when it was time to kiss the bride my husband lifted the veil and she saw his face and went GAH?! My ceremony went by faster so her husband came running into the room and yelled HEY what you doing to my wife?! And started strangling my husband. A few seconds later I came rushing in going all HEY what you doing to my husband. Then she woke up lol...

- She had this one dream where the MRT jerked and she fell into Ryeowook! So because I laughed at that, she had another dream where she was Ryeowook's girlfriend puahaha...

- This one is really weird, she had a dream without herself in it! Yeah she dreamt of ME lol! I was starring in a music video and got to smooch a hot guy. Gah-ness...

- This one is even weirder... she and I were in a furniture store or something, then she saw the ghost from Ju-On (yeah serious! hahaha) and then I don't know what else happened but we got bombarded by needles... and one of them pierced my thigh. So I started pushing it out and all of a sudden I'm all ok hahaha but she said it was really scary.

Alrightey time for mine:
- One day Sarena was talking about how her younger brother Herman might take up air-rifle. And soleil and I started joking that we'd use his rifle to start 'rifling' certain people, and everybody we got pissed at we'd say I wanna rifle him/her! So anyway that night I dreamt that Soleil and I were assassins, I used some funny gun and she was holding a grenade and we were killing random people at an MRT station... man I'm laughing as I type this.

- This is one's kinda funny, but it doesn't have Soleil innit (and it happened to be on the same night Soleil dreamt of me and she herself wasn't in her dream). We were practising in the studio (yeah rollberblading in the aesthetics studio) and decided to take a break, Teukkie oppa and some others started doing some parody dances. And suddenly the rest of us were on ROLLERBLADES and I was skating behind Hannie, then I started chasing after Kangin around the room and when I caught him around his neck he piggybacked me and then deliberately dropped me on the floor, so typical of Kangin. So then we took a real break and sat down at one corner, and for God-knows-what-reason, I kissed Donghae and then my maid appeared with a huge bowl of pasta and we dug in. End of dream

- I dunno whether this one counts as a dream, or some weird encounter. I woke up, and everything was pitch black, as in I was really blinded. And I realized something was supressing me, I tried to get up but couldn't and there was this weird feeling in my upper body, I couldn't move. And then something happened that made me scared, I heard my name, in some moaning sound of some kind. I shut my eyes (wouldn't make a difference because I couldn't see anything anyway) and went Dear Lord Jesus and immediately everything was back to normal and I could see again. I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.

Haha ok yeah end of dream diary. I have loads of things to do this weekend, including preparing for the motion : This house believes that governments should invest more in nuclear energy. Help is much appreciated, though I doubt any of you would be willing to help or even know how to lol.

On a side note I have recorded a few more songs, I know Mayxuen is itching to hear but I shall keep her on her toes (read that May xuen xDDD). And Soleil is staying over for a week, so basically my cell phone will be almost out of use next week lol, because my cell phone is most of the time only on to send messages to her.

Alright signing out for now!

Ok thanks to Sharan - again - I have to do one of these - again.

1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover.
2. Need to mention the sex of the target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog.
4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post this quiz again.

Ok so on with it.
NUMBA 1:
- He must NOT be perfect, I want to have lotsa stuff to tease him about.
- He has to have a really good sense of humour because everyone knows I love to laugh.
- His personality must compliment mine, I don't know how to describe but yeah you get the picture.
- Has to be tall.
- I'm kinda fascinated by guys' arms and hands so yeah nice arms and hands would be great.
- He can't be boring, I may be really loud at times but I'm actually a pretty quiet person so a boring dude will lead to a well... very boring relationship.
- He totally HAS to be romantic. Ok well... not all the time, I don't like being mushy all the time.
- Most importantly he must love me, inside and out. Very few people can appreciate me for who I am so he needs to show me he can do that just as my family and close friends can.

Note: I may say things like I want a hot stud and stuff, but when its for real, I really do not care about physical appearances, because we're gonna get old and wrinkly anyway, beauty isn't immortal, it won't last through our lives. But being able to spend my life with someone who has a good heart, now that's a feat I want to accomplish.

I'm not just saying this because I wanna act like some smartass who loves to preach like *ahem* someone, but I really do feel that way and you can't deny the fact that YOU agree with me.

Ok on to NUMBA 2:
Male

NUMBA 3:
Same as the previous one I did.

2006-03-25T03:56:00.000-08:00

Haha ok new layout and I actually did it yesterday... while I was dreading school the next day so I just opened PS and came up with something and decided it could be used for a new layout since I was getting mighty bored with the old one. I know its not like me to include BoA in my layout but yeah I fell in love with the song Everlasting ever since I watched the music video, which was really inspiring as well even though I don't get what its trying to say. And no the welcome message isn't a part of the lyrics of Everlasting, just some lame paragraph I came up with based on the graphic.

Anyway, I'm royally pissed at the moment because I'm really in no mood for anything and yet I have a ton of homework to complete and previously my senior wanted a list of good proposition points... and now my wonderful coach decided that we should all prepare a mock proposition case tomorrow for debate, and we're probably gonna debate against the seniors again and I'll make a fool of myself as usual. I can't even begin to understand the motion and let's just face it: I'm a sucky debater. Well yeah I can argue and I can speak but debating is, I don't know not me? I really do feel like quitting debate altogether, I couldn't care less about points or whatever so I wouldn't mind just going without a CCA until graduation.

Gah and there's someone in my room right now playing Maple Story, and he doesn't know how to knock either, I really have little or no privacy... Anyway Maple Story is one of the lamest games on the planet, well to me anyway. Apparently to millions of others, its just genius. I hate the whole fame and defame thing, I mean, little kids play this game. And teaching them to gang up on someone they dislike and mass defame them is very erm... bad? In Guild Wars, you fight for the fame and ranks and you can't just get 'defamed'. In GW the highest level you can reach is 20 so that no-one is considered a super pro and nobody has the power to fame or defame anyone, that's equality right there.

Funny how I sound so pissed and frustrated now because I felt fine in the afternoon, somehow... no matter how bad my day went or no matter how much I dread the next day, rainy weather, dark grey clouds, lightning and thunder really cheer me up. For some reason they make me feel like everything is.. well... fine. I'm seriously not kidding... it causes my brain to release endorphins somehow. But lately such weather is a rare sight, to my dismay. Does that contribute to why I'm so unhappy? Ok that's really lame but they seriously cheer me up and even I am freaked out by it. I mean, at the rate my mind is going I never really expected something like the weather to cheer me up. A person has to do a lot to make my day, but then the sound of thunder, the darkness in the entire house, can do so much more, well temporarily, once its over I'm back to normal.

Ok I'm starting to ramble, shall end here and go watch Banjun Drama, daydream or plan my audition or something LOL.

P.S: Long entry, HAPPY people?! Haha new layout, twice the entry length, I expect twice the tags!

2006-01-28T19:06:00.000-08:00

Two days ago was the CNY celebrations in school. Anyway after school I went back to Cedar Primary with Ravin and Ruby, well since we had a half day and Cedar Primary is just beside Cedar Girls', nobody besides us was there, except some other Cedarians and a coupla Sec 1s from various schools. After hanging around the new school buildings for a while we decided to go back home. Being the lazy pig I am, after an hour or two on my computer I still hadn't changed outta my school uniform. Then I got a call from TTK, who told me he was there, and that Edward, Weijun and Chinkeat were also there and that Cyrus was coming. That gave me the impression that there were loads of people there because... even Cyrus was coming! So I rushed back to the school, and unfortunately while walking with TTK in Cedar Primary, I bumped into some seniors including the assistant head prefect who told me to tuck in my shirt and button my first button. Ah well I came from home what do you expect.

Weijun has grown much taller than me now and I'm pissed because of that xDDD And he kept rubbing in it. And when I was talking to TTK at the bench someof TTK's ZhongHua seniors walked past and were like: "Cedar and Zhonghua! Jiayou arh!" and walked away. Then when they came back after a while they said: "Wah talk for so long, go 4th floor! Play safe arh!" TTK and I burst out laughing, and I'm still laughing about it right now. Eddy kept asking us to give im angpao because apparently we were married already -.-"

I'll stop here.
