Tin Pan Alley on the run

Wala-ing

2007-03-31T21:45:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone who came down to Wala on thurs and last night for our "covering UnXpected" gigs, it was a real blast! Plus my voice is really husky ala Laura Fygi right now.. (I blame the drummer. HA.)

It really was funny how everyone was just staring blankly at me for the whole first set, I kept thinking 'what the hell is wrong with the crowd??' Couldn't tell if they were just bored shitless or in complete awe of the band. (I'd like to think it was the latter. hurhur) Took a while for them to warm up, I cracked a few bad jokes here and there, that got them laughing a little. Plus Kah Wai added a bit of life by coming up to give us request after request after request. (I think everyone knows who six roses lover is, so you're safe man.) Thank GOD they drank quite a bit between the 1st and 2nd set break, it got rowdier and more alive. SO FUN!

Anyway, yesterday was my Pri school class reunion. We all just hit it off again so easily, everyone had a great time. They even came to Wala after dinner at Swensens! I have to say that we were a really close class, everyone got along with each other (minus a few weirdos) really well. And everyone FINALLY believes me now when I say that Chong Yew looks EXACTLY the same!!! Even when I sent Liang Si the collage I did, she immediately msned me "Chong Yew looks exactly... but EXACTLY the same!!!"

But eh, I think my voice is lower than yours now lah. HAHAHA!!!

So good to see all of you again! Del, thanks for organising this. You will kena arrow again for the next outing when Liang Si and everyone else comes back in a few weeks' time!

Christmas Time!

Stuff.

2006-12-05T20:23:00.000-08:00

So many things have happened in the last few days, for eg, Alvin and I are no longer known as "Sara n Alvin" or "Jazz In A" (at least not for pub gigs), we're now known as "53A". Why? Cause that's where we always jam, at Haji Lane 53A, better known as Hoity Toity/Lovie's shop. Lame? You try to think of something un-cheesy and meaningful to us all at the same time.

Anyway, Tony's was asking us to form a full band with a drummer to play at Wala Wala, starting next yr. This is a good sign that we'll be sticking around for a while longer. HAHA. Anyway, we obviously agreed and said we'd do just that. But Tony being Tony just took matters into his own hands and grrrrrrabbed (sorry, couldn't resist it) Brendan Khoo, who just happened to be there that night, and said that he was our new drummer. Of course we don't mind man, half our band is made of Unexpected's members! hahaha Lotus has promised me eternal loyalty and a legion of equally fanatic groupies everytime she comes down now. hurhur

Then while we were playing at Acid Bar, Alv got a call from Chris Ho aka Xris Ho, asking us if we were free to do a radio interview with him. In case you didn't know, Lush 99.5FM asked Alv and I to send them a proper recording of us performing a few Jazz songs so that they could feature us on their segment about local artistes and promoting them. Apart from the occasional blooper and Lovie and I turning several shades of purple from trying not to laugh aloud listening to Chris Ho's unintended sexual connotations, the interview was really fun. So if you listen Lush 99.5FM, you'll hear Alv and I go "Hi I'm Alvin, and I'm Sara. And we're... Jazz In A! And you're listening to Lush 99.5FM!" Don't know when everything's gonna be aired though, so I'll post the date and time up once I know so you can all have a good laugh at our expense.

Oh and I dyed my hair today. SORRY ELMI!!! Today's the only day I'm free for a loooong time, so I couldn't wait till the 20th. It's really nice, it's dark brown with blonde highlights. But the stylist had to bleach the highlights, so my hair's really dry and damaged now. UGH. Conditioners of all sorts will be my best friends for now.

Benson tomorrow!!! Can't wait!

Adrenaline Rush.

2006-11-20T11:03:00.000-08:00

Alv and I finally know the thrills of playing with a bassist and the feeling of really being appreciated. The crowd and staff were responsive and really got into the music with us, and people were really there solely for the music. There was this table of girls and guys around my age, and the girls were so cute. They slipped us so many requests, and the greetings gradually grew from hello to sara to dear sara to dear amazing sara. heh

Everyone was singing along to the songs with us, laughing at my super lame jokes, even the staff were cheering us on. Tony Goh (the guy in-charge of music at Balaclava and Wala, go to : www.greenroomsuite.com) says that the regulars and staff like us so much they want us back, which made us so happy. But the pressure to be good and up to standard there is so great, i guess it's good cause it keeps us grounded and not let the praises and well wishes get to our heads.

There was one gross table though, they called themselves the "horny table". I had names for two tables, one was the "happy table" cause they were all freaking wasted and dancing and singing along to all the songs. Then there was the "request table", the one I mentioned earlier on. So I dedicated one of the songs to the "happy" and "request" table, then this guy at the table behind Lovie's shouts "What about the horny table?" They were horrible, I ignored them the whole time, and the guy turns out to be Alv's sec sch friend. Oh joy. Even Alv hates him, says he was damn annoying even in SJI. Worst part was when we were onstage and we starting smelling cigarette smoke, after which we found out from Lovie that the guy was smoking at the table (Wala 2nd level is non-smoking). Lovie complained to one of the waiters about them and he told them to stop smoking, after which they started kao bei-ing and shouting hokkien vulgarities. People like these should be banned from public places altogether.

Oh well, when you guys are free, pop by Wala's on Monday night!

2006-11-18T12:15:00.000-08:00

OMG.

Alv and I are going to start playing at Walla's (in case you didn't know, it's the music pub at Holland V) regularly on Monday Nights, we've taken over UnXpected's slot.

OMG.

Schizo.

2006-11-06T10:26:00.000-08:00

Hmmm...

Should I be missing you like this?

Can You Keep A Secret?

2006-10-13T21:45:00.000-07:00

I have moved. If you think you can handle the emotional rollercoaster, msg me and I'll filter out my trusted and untrusted ones.

Do You Believe In Fate?

2006-10-11T06:37:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to my yummy:

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless
As you turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep
That even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you'll ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything
Would be like it was before
But nights like this
It seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you'll ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

After all this why
Would you ever wanna leave
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you is blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more
Than you will ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go
That I loved you more
Than you will ever know
And part of me died
When I let you go

I'm your girly girl, always.
I love you and I miss you terribly.

I'm sorry.

2006-10-08T11:08:00.000-07:00

It's really happened, and I feel awful.
But I'm gonna be by your side through this whole ordeal.
I promise.

Giant Steps.

2006-10-07T00:55:00.000-07:00

Kill me. John Coltrane is a blardy maniac, and TOD is even MORE of a maniac for making this song part of our repertoire. How to scat you tell me? Show me lah, I'll copy every note you do. ?And no, NOT with your sax. (bel,stop laughing. I know you're laughing.)

I've choked at least 4 times on water within the last 3 hrs. Why? Because the bloody haze is killing me slowly, my nose is so stuffed it's not funny. So since I can't breathe through my nose, taking a big gulp of water to soothe my haze-irritated throat without choking is a challenge. I was at Lovie's shop (look under "my favourite shop-hoity toity" under my links) before Alv and I headed to Harry's, and at about 6.30pm I had an asthma attack. Lucky Lovie had her inhaler, I was really wheezing and struggling to breathe properly. Like hello?? It's been about 6 yrs since I had an asthma attack, stupid blazing fools.

Lotus came down to Harry's with Jon and a HUUUGE group of friends in tow, it was so nice catching up with her after such a looong time. hurhur. Only you and Corrine know why I'm laughing babe.

On another note. At 12.30pm yesterday, the 6th of October 2006, my dearest friend and pet monkey Mohd Sufyan bin Mohd Noh was enlisted in the Army. I received a message from him at about 12.25pm - "Bye bye..." SO drama. We'll see you again in 2 weeks lah dugong. Don't worry, Noodle's safe with us! heh

And YOU! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!

2006-10-06T11:30:00.000-07:00

I need to know.
Please tell me and take this pain away...

Watcha Waiting For???

2006-10-02T07:34:00.000-07:00

TIME TO BLOG!!!

I have SOOO much to say,but I'm too lazy to type it all out. Plus it's been a damn long time since I last blogged,so I can't possibly fit a week's worth of happenings in one measly post. And as usual,I'll post so many photos you'll forget about all the crap I've written here.

Yummy and I met up with Whore Hay at Winebar on Sat night after not seeing him for a long time, poor guy's been working his ass off. I had to sit through a whole night of their obsession with wanting to GET SOME! which was really quite funny I have to say.

Found great new friends in Bel,Sendy and Elmi,and it makes me wonder why we didn't hang out sooner? Just because we were from different streams? Stupid Pophead was saying that it's funny seeing Bel and I get along so well now,but it's nice though. Maybe we should start hanging out with Monkey Face and Cleavage Man too!

Still thinking if I should go to GZ or not, LV hasn't had the time to talk to me about it yet. I'll really kill myself if I have to go with the recommended ones.

I have to say that life's been really good for me this new "year", I get more things done, feel more satisfied with myself...what more could I want? right?

sigh.

I think it's quite obvious that I'm sick of typing so I'll just cut to the photos.

NOW.

I'm absolutely hooked on that Babyface album.

Anyway,it's been a while since I've blogged. Been insanely busy like you wouldn't believe, but hey it's all worth it right?

Let's recap what I've done this past week:

Mon: 10pm-1am Acid Bar Gig
Tues: 9.30pm-1am Acid Bar Gig
Wed: 9.30am-1pm Nanu rehearsals at Michelle's
Thurs: 8pm-10pm Flower Bed Gig
Fri: 1.30pm-9pm A Capella Perfomance at Victoria Theatre
9.30pm-12am Harry's Holland V. Gig
Sat: 5pm-9pm A Capella Perfomance at Victoria Theatre
10pm-1am Ballymoon's Gig
Sun: DAY OFF!!!

It's not like I'm complaining or anything, I LOOOVE what I'm doing, and it's a sentence not many people get to say very often. But the vocal fatigue really gets to me sometimes, like I want to sing but just can't. My lesson with Amanda today was really great, she was advising me on what to do if I get too vocally tired. But she did say that vocal fatigue does not mean that your voice is dying slowly or anything like that, so it's not like losing my voice a little is a sign of a bad throat. Get my drift?

Tonight was our "hopefully not last" night at Acid Bar, which saddens me a little. I was really comfortable there, the crowd's great, the staff's great, the sound system is pretty awesome. Oh well, hopefully things work out for us over there. MUCH BETTER THAN PLAYING AT "HN". eeek.

The crowd at Acid Bar was great tonight. As you can tell, I'm really tired right now so my vocab is rather limited. Plus the word "great" really does sum a lot of emotions up in a great way. (HUR) Bel came down with me after we had dinner at Paragon, SOBA SO GOOD. (congrats again on passing your Advanced Theory!) I love the food there, stupid Yingzy didn't come. HAHA! Stan and Yingzy (muaks!) came too, after Gamelan. Then Kerrie and gang showed up!!! Cedar reunion!!! hahaha And I recognized someone in there, but I think we were both too awkward and shy to say hi. She's really much prettier in real life though. The simple smile was all that was exchanged between us, but it was more than enough. heh IF we do meet again, I'll be sure to say hi.

Anyway,I'm gonna hit the sack. Chamber Choir tomorrow with Mr Poon who loves to knit! He's so cute!!!

Good night yummy. =)

Photos for all you whores. (you thought I'd leave you high and dry huh?)

Yours Truly being very retarded.

Estee!

Ang Pang and Jack/Dude.

The 3 babies.

Some stupid lady in my condo who seriously has parking problems.

I shit you not, it's like she purposely makes it hard for you to park next to her. It's like this EVERY DAY.

We have to go in here, we can't go in the other one.

She came to a pub in a gown. AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Bel bel bel!

Zhenru and ZhenXiang

Ker, Yixin, Goy and ZX

Goy's camera trick: If you take it from an angle above your head, you will appear skinnier.

I love your "not gay" joke. AHAHA!!!

Friends since Pei Chun Primary!

Hello....

2006-09-11T11:28:00.000-07:00

I WANT YOU...

Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon (2004)

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY YOU.....

Chianti Classico, Poggio Bonelli (2003)

Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything on the '03 vintage, which is worrying me a little, hopefully it'll be as good as the rave reviews for the '04 vintage were. The last time I almost bought it from Carrefour there was still the 2001, 2003 and 2004 vintages left. Then when I finally got it, the only vintage left was '03.

PLEASE LET IT BE GOOD!!!

I have never been a big fan of Chilean wine, but that Montes Alpha Cab Sauv is TO DIE FOR. Why am I not a fan? To put it crudely, Chilean wines have a "fart"-like nose. I shit you not. I don't like Sauvignon Blancs either, who likes the smell of pungent, freshly cut grass?? Certainly not me. Especially if it even TASTES like cut grass. I'd rather down 3 shots of Vodka. *shudders*

Helena by Chemical Brothers.

2006-09-11T11:06:00.000-07:00

That's an inside joke.

Anyway, Alvin and I had our first gig at Acid Bar today. WOOOOO!!! I love playing there! It's pretty much on par with playing at Ballymoon's. And funny I should mention Bally's, cause Matt and his girlfriend (manager of Bally's) were at Acid Bar too! So for those of you who are thinking, hey maybe I should go check Sara and Alvin out at Acid Bar, we'll be there again tmrw and next tues, 19th Sept from 9.30pm-1.15am.

Another surprise guest was Miss Kerrie Koh Ya Fen!!! *waves* So glad you just happened to be there for your friend's birthday, what a coincidence man! I wanted you to come tomorrow cause I started halfway today, but you still showed up! HURHUR. sigh I hope you're better now babe, we still looooove you!!!

And to my other surprise guest.

YUMMY.

=)

OFF TO SLEEP I GO!!!

"BKK (Bangkok) family trip from 14-17 Dec. Can you make it? You better come this time!"

You don't even have to ask me man.

2006-09-04T11:56:00.000-07:00

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...

Never in my life have I ever seen Juich eat so much veggie before!!! Went over to Popo's on Sunday for dinner, and she cooked this traditional Hakka dish (yes we're Hakka) called "Ham Cha". It's just flavoured rice with a shit load of vegetables and no meat whatsoever, the kind of food that guys would rather kill themselves than have to eat. And as always, no matter what it is she's cooking, Popo's food is AWESOME. She could serve us a bowl of puke and it'll still taste good.

Isn't he the cutest thing in the world?

Joe making himself comfy on my dad's boxes

The 5 veggies in "ham cha"

The final product. It's not visually appealing, but it sure tastes good.

Proof of Juich eating her greens.

Was feeling really crummy and down pretty much the whole weekend, so Alvin convinced me to go feed the kittens with hi. He's been feeding these 4 kittens and their parents for the past week, and he figured nothing would cheer me up like seeing the little balls of fur. He was right. =)

The moley faced kitty.

I cry, only because I can't be with you.
I cry, only because I have to be the one in the know.
I cry, only because I don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
I cry, only because I think that you might want to say goodbye.
I cry, only because I feel so guilty.
I cry, only because I can't bear to think of you being with someone else.
I cry, only because I feel so helpless.
I cry, only because I can't bring myself to put an end to this.
I cry, only because I don't want to end it.
I cry, only because I don't know if I'm clinging on to a hopeless dream.

but...

I smile whenever I see your name appear on my phone screen.
I smile whenever I receive a message from you saying how much you miss me.
I smile whenever I put on our iTunes playlist (oh well...)
I smile whenever I see you in your monster coming to pick me up.
I smile whenever I don't even have to ask for a big bear hug after a long day.
I smile whenever I hear you singing loudly beside me while I'm working.
I smile whenever I see you. Period.
I smile whenever I switch my Birthday light on. =)
I smile whenever I look at all our photos.
I smile whenever I think there's a chance things might work out.
I smile whenever I'm with you.

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

BATTLE OF THE BANDS photos finally uploaded.

All of these are from the nightlife.sg album.

Enjoy!

(I look super tak glam in ALL the photos, which proves my point that singing doesn't make for very good facial expressions. Plus we were all really hot and sweaty.)

What on earth does that mean? And Lady Marmalade? Mocha Choca blah blah?

Nonsense song.

But Nanu was AWESOME today, if I must say so myself. hurhur. Pity my video camera isn't working, some major default in that particular JVC model, a lot of forums online complaining about it. Damn.

Oh!!! "32" made it into the semi finals for World Battle of the Bands! Thanks to everyone who came down to Timbre to show their love and support (hi noodle!) for us. Semis is in 2 weeks, so come to Timbre if you can!

To make up for not having blogged with photos for a long time, I shall just appease all the photo whores out there with my usual once-in-a-while blob of photos.

You sluts. HAHA.

Met Carol (HI CARRROOOLLLLL!!!), Suf and Hutch at Haji Lane.

Audrey was so happy to meet Noodle. Hilarious.

Emilee, Gayle, Audrey and Noodle.

Do you still feel for me the way you did when we first met? I do.
Do you still wanna be with me more than anything like you used to say? I know I do.

Do I seem like I'm asking for too much? I think I am.
Am I waiting for something that'll never happen?
I really don't know.
I can't ask, I don't want to ask.
But I'm dying more and more inside each day.
Help me understand.
please.

I have recently rediscovered my collection of Whitney Houston mp3s and one of her Greatest Hits albums, and I've been playing them over and over, day and night, for the past few days. She's undoubtedly one of the BEST voices in the history of music ever. Her voice is so big and powerful, yet she's completely un-screechy and un-screamy, unlike the recently emancipated Mariah Carey.

How can you not love Whitney Houston???

I've also rediscovered curling my lashes and using Fasio 3D curling mascara (my fav). I stopped doing that for a long time cause I started getting so lazy, but I've missed this look! Amazing how something as insignificant as curled lashes can make you look so different, everyone's been telling me "eh, you look different for some reason." Maybe cause I'm not lining my lower eyelid.

OMG I sound so bimbo.

One more thing, Alvin and I will be playing at Acid Bar on the 12th and 19th (both tuesdays) of Sept, starting around 8pm. Do come down if you wanna watch!

Peace out.

How Do You Live?

2006-08-28T12:19:00.000-07:00

You should feel very guilty. Very very guilty. I hope you get what you deserve, there's really no more hope for you. But then again, I'm sadistic, so I hope you suffer silently and slowly. Then I won't have to feel guilty for you.

Hypocrite.

It ALSO doesn't mean that when a girl and guy are out together, they MUST be a couple.

So mister "source", you need to grow up and learn to take everything with a pinch of salt.

Fucking annoyed.

This has been bugging me for a while now. Seems like every post I put up that doesn't have photos or anything frivolous in content will immediately be linked to a guy. Sometimes I do like to rant when I'm in a depressed mood, yes it is possible for someone like me to feel down and pissed off with the whole world once in a while.

So to my friends whom I know feel nothing but care and concern for me whenever they see me down, I'm really ok. It's usually just cause I've had a bad day and certain situations, not cause I'm lovelorn.

Anyway, Arlee Leonard.

I.LOVE.YOU.

To answer Bel's mystery question, I missed school today, bummer. Was really looking forward to today's lessons, Monday's my most interesting day out of the whole week. Woke up with a major migraine, and contracted a mild bout of food poisoning after breakfast. (mum thinks it's the milk I had with my cereal)

Went back to sleep, woke up around 2. Contemplated going for Jazz Workshop and Jazz Orchestra, but everytime I got up my head started pounding. Thankfully it's gone now, hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow. Spent the whole day couchpotato-ing and painting my nails, watched tv from 5pm-11pm. Madness.

Anyway, Brad left me a message on Friendster asking for the photos we took on Nick's 22nd birthday, which reminded me that I need to upload the photos on my phone onto the com. So here's one big blob of photos for you to ooh and aah over. hurhur.

Yes...thank you...I know I'm gorgeous...

I bet you're all used to this shit already.

My baby #1.

My baby #2.

Who could ask for more?

And then there's this. I did a shoot for Charlene's boyfriend Timmy about a month ago, he's studying photography at TP. His theme was High Fashion shit so they had me in really outrageous makeup, which was all done by Charlene. She's amazing with makeup. Anyway, I had to wash my face THRICE within a span of 5 hrs, it was so raw after we were done. I looove how the photos turned out. The makeup looks AWESOME.

You people are damn funny. I get a LOT (and I mean ALOT) of smses from people whenever I blog about something "commentable" on, and I have to reply them all one by one. HELLO? That's what I have a tagboard for? Don't waste money lah, 5cents for every sms leh.

On another note, had a nice lunch with the family today after church at Don. It was nice having the 4 of us together again, laughing and chatting about the most random things. Mum just amuses me more and more with every passing day, and it was nice hanging with Juich again. I hardly get to see her nowadays, we're all so busy...-_-" Mum and I popped in to BritishIndia to ogle at all the gorgeous (and insanely expensive) clothes, when I saw this really nice skirt. She surprised me by persuading me to try it on and offered to buy it! I'm not gonna say how much it is, but WOAH. Thanks mummy! (note: Ju, 50bucks? hurhur.)

Stole this from Juich.

Met Suf for supper at Al's -------------- (I really don't know what the full name of that prata shop is, it's !@*#^%@($* long.) I'm so happy!!! Though I can't say why, but for what it's worth...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You deserve a big smooch and hug for FINALLY coming through this time. =)

Time to crash. Long day at school tomorrow, but the plus side is that I'm meeting Yingzy for dinner. Woot!

I just rediscovered old photos of Alvin and I on my com. Ok well they're not really THAT old, but that's when we were still playing at Zenden at Gallery Hotel.

Check out how LONG my hair was!!! Gosh. Sometimes I really regret chopping it all off.

I look cock-eyed man.

Look at Al's eunuch face!! AHAHAHA!!!

I love his archstop.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Our first poster photo which they rejected, it wasn't focused enough. I like it though.

Received a very sad message from Yingzy today, and it got me thinking again.

Should I stay or should I go?

My conscience is telling me GO, this isn't right. And I definitely know it isn't.

But my heart keeps pulling me back and making me want so much to stay and see if there's a chance for TRUE happiness.

Oh, the ache in my heart...please take it away.

blank.

2006-08-09T12:30:00.000-07:00

Here we are
you'd tell me i'm the only one
that makes you feel love again
there you go
i see you're watching him
when you don't think i know
should i let you go?

So who's it gonna be?
is it him or me?

Who do you love?
who do you need?
you're messing up my mind
wasting all my time
who do you love?
what do you feel?
stop playing with my heart
you're tearing me apart
am i the one who can make you fly up above?
is it me who can take you higher than you're dreaming of?
now who do you love?

Turn around
do you really think you'd play me like a fool for you
then i realize
when you touch me it's like nothing i have known
could i let you go?

Incredibly Considerate and Inexplicably Rude.

2006-08-09T10:57:00.000-07:00

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Now I see, this is the way it's supposed to be
I met you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

So come to me, now we can be what we want to be
I love you and now I see
This is the way it should be
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

This is why I cry at night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING DARLING KERRIE KOH YA FEN!!! Nicholas John Olsen!!! Jenson Koh Sing Yew!!!

August 4th 2006 was a 2-in-1 celebration for my parents, my Convocation for my Dip in Music Tech and Juich's 24th birthday! (you're ooooooold...)

It was so fun, Ying stayed over so she could hitch a ride from us in the morning to Expo. We had to wake up at 6am, we were so stoned it wasn't funny.

The ceremony was short and sweet, only TWO speeches (both of which were really good and precise) were made before the actual ceremony commenced. The Theatre Arts bunch were doing what they do best, making loads of noise and cheering for everyone they knew. Who else would be behind the whole "party" but Daniel Hutchinson?

Poor YuDa had to rush off for Superband rehearsals, so I only managed to get one picture with him.

I've been a lazy bum, so these are the photos from pop's cam, will load my cam photos later.

YINGZY!

Mornings don't make for good photos.

The Convocation Hall.

Yours truly, looking like a goondu.

WOOT!

Dear ol' Mom and Pop

hurhur.

Poor Juich couldn't come cause there were only 2 invites.

I can't help it, I AM my dad's daughter you know.

Ok, I believe that's the last nonsense one.

YuDa's missing, and Kokster couldn't be there with us.

Ying taking me taking her taking me taking me taking her taking me taking her taking....*breathe*

Winnie Poon Wing Yan!

MANU!!!

P.S. I LURB CHEW Old Man Bear.

This Never Happened Before.

2006-08-02T11:35:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you a story.

Long before time, when the earth was still dark and any living form was yet to be discovered, the race of Sara and high-heeled shoes were at war.

The year is now 2006 and I still can't wear !@#*$^#$(*%^@*$^ high heels without suffering for the rest of the week.

My feet hurt like fuck.

Anyway, the gig in school today for the "BBQ Under the Stars" was a complete success, despite the stress and sweat that overwhelmed me while we were setting up. I really have Bryan, Jeremy, Andrew and ESPECIALLY my darling darling YUDA for helping me with the equipment, and to everyone else who helped out. Next time we go opposite your drinks are on me! heh The music was great, everyone did an amazing job during their sets, and this is the first time I've ever heard Tim sing! OMG!!! He rocked on Purple Haze. I'm so proud of how the Faculty of Music (we can finally call ourselves that now!) has redeemed itself after being MAJORLY looked down on in the past for so many years. Have I mentioned how great Lindsay is? Sigh I think the school would've gone KAPUT without him around.

Went to meet my darling Cedar girls for a night of Mambo after everything was done. Yes, believe it or not, I actually agreed to go Mambo. It wasn't so bad, we ended up having a lot of fun when the Mambo music stopped and they started playing familiar tunes of the 90's. It was so great getting to see Rachel and Claire again after goodness-knows-how-long, and I finally met Ah Goy after her HK trip! They're such a blast to be with, and for the first time Kerrie didn't puke! Or maybe I left a bit too early to find out. HARHAR. We were singing so loudly to all the songs and coming up with our own dance moves, everyone around us was highly amused. This tipsy ang moh guy came up to me and said "Cheerio! You guys should form a dance group and tour the world!"

Ok enough yabbering, I've got main study with AMANDA COLLIVER (I LOOOOOVE YOU) in 14hrs. Need to rest the yodelling chords.

EMALE!

Tommy choosing the wines for our blind tasting

Hello George!

All I could think about all night was how much I wanted you there with me...

I Love You, Amanda Colliver.

Courts of America, and are
things people actually said in court, word for

published by court reporters who had the torment
of staying calm while
these exchanges were actually taking place.

Long day today, but surprisingly I'm not that tired.

Quite a few things happened today that were quite mind-boggling (some in a good way), but I'm happy things worked out the way they did. =)

Photo time!!

Bryan!!

Audrey(aupok) and Bryan(kimmoh)

The ORIGINAL kimmoh kia - MAT

Ah Kok,Andrew and half of Ban Mian Auntie.

My baby came to have lunch with me!

Matthias and Wan in class (that's stupid monkey face's file in the way.-rolls eyes-)

Boss! Haven't talked to you for so long...

Sheen's got GORGEOUS lashes...they go on for miles.

"screaming" for Noodle outside the hotel

OMG the REAL idol fans are really mad!!!

Carly and Suf showing some love for Noodle

Miss Superstar and the camera perpetually in her face

Happy Birthday babe.=)

Charlie and his Angels.

Having drinks but hey...no straws!

We're at Timbre by the way

My Larling.

So this acoustic duo was playing at Timbre today, two guys from SMU. They were pretty darn good, doing stuff by John Mayer and even Def Leppard, and the whole time I kept clapping and cheering for them after every song. Suf kept calling me a groupie and kept asking me to shut up but I was telling him that all it takes is ONE person to start clapping and everyone will follow suit, which was the case this time around. People don't realise but when you see musicians up there performing and you're enjoying the music, it'll be nice for them to receive a little applause as opposed to dead silence after every song. It can be extremely disheartening when you play for one whole set and not a single person claps, and it HAS happened to Alv and I before. So PLEASE show some love for your entertainers when you're in the audience!

Escapade.

2006-07-30T07:29:00.000-07:00

So much has happened these past few days, and me being the lazy blogger that I am will try to type as little as I possibly can and let the photos do the talking.

First time using a cake mix

This is sinful man.

Baking is SOOO tough

2006-07-27T09:37:00.000-07:00

Went to watch The Lake House today with Ying and Emale, nothing fantastic, but I kept crying. I don't know why. I wasn't sobbing or anything like that, my face just kept scrunching up and I'd get teary over and over again. But it was a very sweet show, quite worth catching if you've got nothing planned and just want to relax.

KOK!!!Hao shuai ah...heh heh heh where's alien??

She's damn cute

damn gross.haha

Baby at newton circus

At Coffee Club at Taka

Sleepy man

I've been really emotional for the past few days, it's like I'm sitting opposite and just chatting with the guys when all of a sudden my mind wanders to certain things and it's like a thousand knives stabbing into my heart over and over again. (yes, I know I'm being extremely overdramatic here)

I'm sure you know that kind of pain, that anguish that you can't dispel, yet you can't do anything to help it. I do have a choice to help it, and I'm being very foolish but I'm not ashamed to say that I'm willing to go through it, just because. I really should be sleeping now, it's my first lesson with Amanda Colliver tomorrow. Oh well, it's gonna be one of those nights eh?

heh.sigh.

Our Time Is Running Out

2006-07-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

SO.

We had to perform a Jazz number today for our lecturers drummer Darren Moore and legend Jeremy Monteiro himself, just so that they could have a gauge of where we stand in the whole Jazz department. It was quite fun, Audrey, Andrew, Brian and I did Just The Way You Are, and poor Andrew played at least 8 of the 10 songs performed today.

Headed down to school to rehearse with them at 11am, but we only started at 12. Took us approximately half and hour to jam before deciding we were ok and good to go, so we had to rot for three and a half hours before heading for the class at 4pm. I wanted to kill myself, these are the ridiculous breaks I've been avoiding since having to endure them for the whole of my first year in Lasalle.

Had a gig at Thumper tonight, one set, that's it. Turned out to be Thumper's 2nd anniversary. Cool.

Here's a sob story for you. My Nissan March is going to be scrapped tomorrow morning. Why is that a sob story? Because I've grown so attached to it, as have most of the people who have sat in my little car. Alv kept stroking the car door today and saying "shit man, this car is just awesome. what a waste." Yeah, I know.

I'm sad...

I went with Beng and Noel to collect our gowns for convocation today at Delta house. It's so surreal, we're actually done with 3 yrs of school. I'm the only one among all of us who is continuing with a degree, but still the fact that school life is almost over and work life begins is starting to really hit me hard now. I was chatting with George about what my job options are after Lasalle is over and done with, and I realised that I do have a few choices, but what suits me best? What will I enjoy doing and most importantly, what will generate the most/enough income to keep me alive?

The sad thing is that I can say confidently that 99% of ALL musicians in Singapore end up being teachers, whether or not it's their passion to pass knowledge on to others. Do I want to teach? Sure, but I doubt I'll be a very good teacher. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just trying to be as realistic about this as I can be. Truth be told, I seriously SUCK at teaching. hurhur. I guess it's something that can be trained and honed over time, gotta work hard at it.

Got an event gig at Thumper tomorrow. Funny, they chose Modern Rock over Jazz.

Butterflies and Hurricanes.

2006-07-24T11:20:00.000-07:00

First day back at school.

The realization that most of my buddies are graduated hit me really
really hard when I was walking around campus and not recognizing a
single face. I'm not exaggerating, that's how long I've been in
Lasalle. This is what, my 4th year in school? The only people I have
left from my year are Kok, Nick and Candice. (so is Yina but who
cares?) It's so sad, I miss the guys, even though I just saw them last
week. School's just not the same, even Kok messaged me when I got home
"we should just go home straight after school everyday now, school's
not the same. really sucks man"

I strongly agree.

But then again, I shouldn't just be in school solely for the social
aspect of it, though it does play a BIG part. heh At least I have
Sheena, not so bad. Her friends are in school too, people I've met
before, like Sharul. Oh yes...there's always Joshua. -rolls eyes-
HAHAHAHA!!! Plus Huimin and I are fellow Nanu-ers, so there's a new
friendship in the making.

Speaking of which, time to do some advertising.

GIG!!!!

Date: Sunday, 30th of July (this coming sun)
Time: 5pm-7pm
Venue: Botanical Gardens (at the big stage near Visitor's Centre)
Performances:
NANU(the all-girl a capella group I'm with now)
Jeremy Monteiro
Jacintha Abisheganaden
Adrian Pang
AND MANY MORE............

PLEASE COME SUPPORT IF YOU'RE FREE!!!

I'm starting to lose the will to blog. Not because I'm lazy or sick of blogging, it's just that I'm starting to realize there are so many things that can happen within a day, and having to compress it all into one paragraph is too strenuous on the brain. Sure I could just type out every single detail, but I don't wanna do that EVERYDAY. It's ridiculous.

Or maybe I'm just damn lazy lah, a diary IS supposed to be like this isn't it?

Sigh.

School starts tomorrow. Can't wait.

Matthias's ingenius brain child. pffft.

NIgel's finally sent me the songs he managed to record at the wedding we did at the Fullerton Hotel. OMG. I knew we screwed the afternoon set up, but I didn't know how badly till I heard the recordings. It's the little wrong chords, wrong sections, "PEOPLE" not knowing their cues to come in (specifically only ONE person actually). Thank God for the night set, but he only recorded one song.

!@(*#^&#($@(#%&($*($$&%????!!!!!

Nevermind, I finally get to hear how I sound with a full band singing Route 66. AWESOMO!

Endlessly - Muse

there's part of me you'll never know
it's the only thing I'll never show

hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
hopelessly I'll give you everything
but I won't give you up
I won't let you down
and I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes

It's plain to see it's trying to speak
cherished dreams forever asleep
hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
hopelessly I'll give you everything
but I won't give you up
I won't let you down
and I won't leave you falling
and if the moment ever comes

hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
hopelessly I'll give you everything
but I won't give you up
I won't let you down
and I won't leave you falling
but the moment never comes

"If the moment ever comes?
But the moment never comes..."

Fix You.

COLDPLAY.

BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

Mum, Pa, Ju and I were quite near to the stage, so it was quite an experience for Mum. heh. I've NEVER been to a rock concert with her before! She was so embarrassed when Pa stood up and started screaming and singing along to one of his favourite songs of X&Y.

Hilarious.

if only you could've been with me...

Moo?

2006-07-01T12:29:00.000-07:00

I just lost 10bucks to the England-Portugal match. But hell, it was one awesome match, and it's even better when there's a big crowd to watch it with. Timbre was so crowded, people had to stand at the sides just to get a piece of the action. MADNESS!! I screamed so much during the penalty shoot-out I couldn't sing after that man.

My hair's going through another transition. Let me elaborate...

Age 0-10: Hair was relatively straight, could have been considered poker straight.

Age 10-11 (puberty): Kinks starting to set in, a little bit of a curl in the fringe where it meets the hairline.

Age 11-12: Hair starts to really curl, but in all different directions.

Age 13-14: This is what I would describe as the "mop-head" period.

Age 14-15/16: Hair relaxation and rebonding lasted about 6-8 months at a go before the curls started again

Age 16-17: Let my hair really grow out till about mid-back, and the curls were awesome

Age 18-19: Chopped it halfway down, permed it into really really tight curls and let it grow back out

Age 19-20: Hair grew to just below my ass crack before I chopped it all off again, still curly as shit

Age 20-?: My hair's starting to straighten out?!?!?!?!?!!!?!

I was showing Chang the parts that have straightened out, and he's highly amused. I really don't understand it, is it my diet? Is it even normal for something like this to happen? Maybe I'll start balding when I'm 25.

Bel, we should have a scalp swap. I get to have poker straight hair and you get curls for a day. AWESOMO 2000.

Shan and Gina: You girls look great! It was so nice seeing the both of you again. =)

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, and I want so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

Chorus:
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

CHORUS

Bridge:
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

CHORUS

What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

How did I fall,
in love ,
with you?

Can I Get A What What?

2006-06-28T05:53:00.001-07:00

I dyed my hair.

Cost me a freaking 250 bucks. But oh well, there's always a HEFTY price to pay for vanity.

Going to head over to Lavender tonight to celebrate Hua Zai's birthday, I'm doing her makeup tomorrow for some D&D she's having. Hurhur.

MICHAELA, HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT YOU ROCK?

I'll let the photos do the talking.

Fullerton Hotel is GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....................

Didn't get to take any photos cause my stupid camera battery died on me.Bleah. I've never spent the whole day at a gig man, it's not the most fun thing to do. The afternoon set was a nightmare, but the dinner sets were well received, so it wasn't that bad after all.

Something's wrong with my throat, it's been giving me problems for over a month now. I think I really need to see an ENT specialist, maybe do a scope to see what's wrong.

Worried.

We Can Do It!

2006-06-24T02:46:00.000-07:00

Ok here goes...

Went to watch the Idol results show on Thursday to support darling Noodle aka Nurul Maideen. It was quite sad when she didn't get through, but I knew she'd make it to the Wildcard round. Then the BIG news came up - SHE'S IN THE FINAL 12!!! Mediacorp made a major boo-boo because there was a lag in the results, so it should've been Noodle instead of Mathilda (who has an AWESOME voice by the way) in the top 12. I think it should've been both of them in the top 12 and Emilie in the Wildcard round. Oh well...Singapore voted.

Sufus the Dufus

We were sitting at the mosh pit

Beautiful Sheen

He really is quite stupid.

HEY!

L-R: Nisa (noodle's older sis), Sheen and Nadia

In the loo

Uhhh..whatever...

I'm sorry sheen, I had to put this up. It's too hilarious

Oh yeah...

Let's all support ELDOON!!! Did you not realise it was the wrong way round???

Went to meet the Hougang gang at RK after when I gave the guys a lift there. It was so nice seeing all of them again after so long.

I'm glad we're talking again. =)

This is going to be a pretty long entry, so bear with me.

Went to lunch with Mummy in the afternoon, it was supposed to be MY treat!!! We went to Romano's at Jalan Leban, a very nice and cosy italian restaurant that's very affordable as well (not athars at all). There was a group of mums with their kids, must be some sort of play group for the babies. OMG.....THEY'RE SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! I want one!!!!!!!! Anyway, like I mentioned, it was supposed to be MY treat today. So we finished our food, just sitting and chatting, then my mum stood up and excused herself to use the ladies. A few seconds later I turned around to the cashier in the back of the restaurant and THERE SHE WAS!!! GETTING THE BILL!!! So sneaky!!! I went up and stood next to her and she started laughing.

!@*&#$^!*&..................I really wanted it to be my treat.

Headed down to town to meet Yingzy (yes my dear, you ARE stuck with it) after that, cause she was leaving for Redang for a few days and she needed a nice one-piece swimming costume. Poor girl was wandering around Wisma and Taka for more than an hr but she didn't find anything she fancied. I got there at 3plus, dragged her over to Rip Curl at Pacific Plaza and there it was in all its glory....the perfect one-piece suit. It was damn freaking nice lah...if she didn't buy it I would've man. And it was 50% off!!! @#*$!^*#$@#!!! She only paid 40bucks for it man...KNN...Went for milkshakes at McCafe outside Lido while waiting for her twin cousins.

TAKE ME TO REDANG WITH YOU!!!!!!! *WAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILS*

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...

hurhurhur

Yingzy taking me taking her.

Went to meet the Cedar babes for dinner after she left. Let me tell you all something. Cedarians have a MAJOR problem with punctuality or anything related with hours, minutes and seconds. As usual, the CERTAIN FEW were late. I'm not gonna name any names, rot in your hell of guilt!!! (ha.)

Ended up going to Din Tai Fung at Wisma and Yan, being the self-proclaimed resident orderer (is there such a term??) proceeded to order appetizers for the rest of us. I'm still full from all that fugging food.

Clara and Yan

Support Yan!!! She's in the World Cup pageant!!!

Feli and I

*deep voice* Hi Feliiiiii.....heh heh heh......

EAT MORE!!!

When're you and Gary Yeo getting married??

*AHEM* you know the CERTAIN FEW I mentioned?

Jas and Clara

Looking for our appetizers

She's damn cute lah

We headed down to Indo Chine/Pho Chine after dinner for drinks. VERY ANNOYING group dressed in Native American outfits playing VERY ANNOYING new age-y, pan flutey instrumental music playing right next to us in front of Wisma. I wanted to go over and break all their instruments. UGH. Bumped into Corinna aka Shorty. (HI BABE!!!) And I can't believe Clara and Gary Yeo Da Bian (courtesy of Yan) have been together for 7 years!!! Since Sec 1 man...I still remember when they first got together. OMG... Just get married now lah, forget about that stupid contract.

At Indo Chine

Bitch...Yes my boobs ARE real.

All kao bei-ing at Jasmin

The netballers

THEN (2002):

YAN,ME,JASMIN

NOW (2006):

The 3 of us again

IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS, BUT YOU GUYS STILL MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP AND CONSTANT SUPPORT WE ALL HAVE FOR EACH OTHER.

*sob*...I'm feeling damn emo now...sigh...

I hate feeling the way I do. Is there really a solution for why I'm feeling this way? I hope so. I really hope so.

The cutest little things I see every Sunday...

Went to George's HUMBLE ABODE last night, it's SOOO nice!!! He and Linda did an awesome job decorating the place, it looks amazing. Celebrated Chang's birthday with a little cake, some wine and Ghana VS Czech Republic. Happy Birthday you old man!

Birthday Boy

There were three little homo pigs...

Linda's glued to the screen man

2006-06-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

This is gonna be a 2-in-1 entry, with a shitload of photos.Haha.

14th June,Wed.

Met up with Jas and Kerrie on for dinner (YAN!!!YOU OWE US DINNER!!!!!!!) at Wheelock's Sakae. I have to say that the standard of the food there has seriously dropped, and our bloody chawanmushi took ONE HOUR to arrive!!!

Let meeeee.....entertain you!!!

Baboon face!

Blurry Jasmin

HAHA!!!She's so cute!

Kerrie and her lover, Spongebob.

Where's our Chawanmushi??

She looks like she's in pain!

Sigh I missed you

The feast

I have no idea what she's trying to do

Gluttons,we are.

UGH.FULL.

We have a love for round, green things.

Kerrie's unadulterated foot fetish.

The #($#@^#$!&@#*& chawanmushi.

Headed down to Phuture after that to celebrate Hui Qing's birthday (hi girl!), and they were screening the WC everywhere! So annoying...Jas and Elsie didn't help much, they were glued to the screen the whole time. Jas and I left really early cause it got so crowded it wasn't funny anymore. And I forgot to bring my stupid camera. Fugg....

16th June,Fri.

Went to watch "Shakers, Re-Stirred" with Suf and Yingzy (yes darling, that's what I'll be calling you from now on), an awesome awesome play by the way. I was laughing so hard I teared a little. So proud of Carol, Morgan, Becca and Sharda, they did an amazing job. It's showing till Sunday, so if you're interested, it's $20 for students and $24 for non-students, playing at the Arts House's Playden. It's about 4 waitresses working in a pub and how they cope with life and everything around them, and on top of that the 4 girls are constantly assuming roles varying from brawny, disgusting men to giggly teenage girls who can't hold their alcohol. Amazing value for money if you're out to have a good laugh.

Waiting for Ying outside her place

Oooh...Slutty nails!!!

Yingzy!!

The dufus that it Sufus.

Wahhh...so intellectual ah...

STILL on the phone!

Suf trying to look smart

It does make you look alot better you know

Gangster sia

Mmmm....I know that turns someone on....Yingzy............hurhur.

Makes her look like she's in a foreign country

Bloody CBD area that I always get lost in.

I shaved!!!WOOHOO!!!

The Playden makes you look ghostly for some reason. ALL the photos in there turned out like that.

Went to Serangoon Gardens with Suf after dropping Ying off, he didn't wanna go back early, and it wasn't even 12 yet. Sat down at Coffee Bean and started talking and talking till 4pm! Even when there was a fight going on nearby, we just kept talking. It was so nice getting to meet up with him again, didn't realise how much I missed that stupid bugger. Let's do this more often alright? Scandals!!!

Right.

No More I Love Yous.

2006-06-13T02:36:00.000-07:00

I need a holiday. And may I reinforce that it's not just a want, it's a NEED. The last time I was on holiday was when we went to visit Pa in Suzhou.

Yes I DO need a holiday.

For Your Babies.

2006-06-11T02:26:00.000-07:00

MY NEW ROOM!!!

I haven't painted the walls yet though...ugh...more work...HELP...

Ugh I've put on so much weight it's not funny anymore. A lot of people say it's cause I stopped *******, I think so too. Oh well, the gym will be my second home from now on.

Went out for dinner at Crystal Jade with Ying last night, Holland V. was pretty packed man. We saw this huge ass crowd in between Wala and Eskimo Bar, so being the kaypoh Singaporeans that we are, we HAD to go see what the hustle and bustle was about. Turns out it was the World Cup.

Pffft.

I tried watching the Germany VS Costa Rica match on Fri night with an open heart and mind at Leander's place, but to no avail. Even avid fan George fell asleep. Hurhur.

Went to meet Chang, George and Tommy at Wine Connection after dinner.

UGH. Crap bubbly.

I was a little trigger happy. More than that. Trigger ESTATIC!

Her "TALK TO THE HAND" look

AGAIN!

With my bowl of congee

It's so bad my face has been contorted permanently

See what I mean??

I look psychotic.And FAT.

New shoes, new nails.

"MUH"!!

Yo yo yo!

Puke in the sink. There were freaking whole pieces of kai lan can??

On another note:

Drinking very artificially flavoured drinks aka "GRAPE JUICE" can really fuck your tongue and lips up.

2006-05-26T23:55:00.000-07:00

Somebody

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

Barf!

2006-05-25T06:15:00.000-07:00

The time is now 6.05am on a Friday morning, and my lack of sleep is not by choice. I have been up all night puking into the tiny little toilet bowl Juich and I rest our asses on ever so often. Mum brought me to the doc at Bishan st 12, turns out I've been poisoned!! By food!! It's either the food at Leander's place (No offence man, the food was awesome. And thanks for having us again!) or the popcorn when we were watching the new X-MEN movie (which was alright for me, they crammed too many things in 2 hrs)

Well, whatever it is, at least there's a cure for it.

Got a message from Matthias around 5plus when my mum was sending me to the doc. I wish things could be different, but it's really for the better. Hopefully you guys will be there to be a pillar of strength.

Yamate!

2006-05-24T19:29:00.000-07:00

So I'm up. I'm supposed to be going to the gym, but for some reason my whole body's aching like a bitch...not from working out, more of a flu-ish kinda ache. Hmmm...

Ying showed this to me the other day, you HAVE to watch it!

I've finished my last disc of Season 3 of Gilmore Girls, and I'm SERIOUSLY having withdrawal symptoms...I...need....Season.....4...........*gasping for air*

And this quote at Wine Garage just cracks me up everytime I see it...
"If you drink no noir, you pinot noir."

oooh...fake eyelashes are the best thing ever since tampons.

Cafe Del Sar (hur hur)

2006-05-20T17:33:00.000-07:00

Had a MAJORLY intense workout at the gym today, think it was a way to clear my head and get my mind off things. (plus I'm super out of shape can??)

Gonna start looking for a teaching job next week, I'll probably drag Ying along with me.HAHA! (she doesn't know this yet) Think it's high time I give the teaching world a try, who knows? I just might end up loving it.

Anyway, I've been blog hopping a lot lately, clicking on friends' links and reading blogs of all shapes and sizes, and I stumbled upon one that I found very very interesting. I know I'm gonna sound crazy, but it's Nick's ex-girlfriend's blog. I've been reading it for the past few weeks and man, I'm hooked. Don't know why, maybe it's cause I'm a sucker for nice photos.

Hope she doesn't mind me putting her add here. Don't sue me please! Haha

It's HERE.

I'm running out of Beatles songs to use as titles for my entries.Geez...
Alot of drama in less than 24hrs:
1. Was supposed to do the film score for Zihan's (LIT choreographer) very own 90min movie, but he called me when I was on my way to work to say that due to complications and misunderstandings between his producer and himself, I'm not doing it anymore.
2. Got woken up by my DARLING sister at 10am asking if I would be so kind as to haul my ass out of bed and rush to the nearest SISTIC outlet because ALL the online tickets for COLDPLAY were SOLDOUT.WTF??!!!SOLD OUT?!?!?!
3. Was supposed to go to Bintan to play at Club Med with Al - All expenses paid, including hotel, food and flight. Of course, it would be a non-paying gig. Got a call from Eugene at about 2pm to say that it was cancelled because of some event.
4. Tonight's our last night at Gallery Hotel.

At least something good came out of all this...

We got the Coldplay tickets.

I'm In The Mood For Love.Are You?

2006-05-19T13:23:00.000-07:00

There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control
It's a funny thing but everytime I'm near you
I never can behave
You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on
Come and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just met me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes
Bright as stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue sky
How I worry bout you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love
So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again so baby won't you
Come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you and get a release from this awful misery

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, oh baby please
Pull yourself together, got to do it very soon
My heart's on fire, come on and take
I'll be what you make me, my darling

Oh, pretty baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land

Maybe there we can find
A good place to keep a lovin' state of mind
I'm so crazy mama
Never knew what love was all about
James Moody would you come on hit me, you can blow now if you want to, we're through

I've been doing a lot of shopping lately, and I blame it all on Yiing. I've never been a fan of shopping, but retail therapy has become a new hobby for me, not that I would recommend it to anyone because it burns freaking holes in your wallet! I spent 200 bucks in one day!!! That's insane I tell ya...

I'm in super healthy mode right now! Been blading, hitting the gym, avoiding junk food, lifting weights etc and I can really feel the difference. Ok it's only been two days, but shit man... the first day and I could see myself getting more cut. I'm psyching myself up to get back into shape before I entered LaSalle, I was so fit then. Sigh...Let the photo whoring begin!

Anyway, this is Chang being retarded. (which is what he does best)

LUNA.

This has been a really rough week, but i've come out of everything feeling a lot stronger and ready to face more than what I've just been through.

Ollie: No matter what it is, I love you. I wish you all the best in everything and I'm sure our friendship will last as long as we both live. Take good care of yourself and I promise we'll still work together.

My Love

2006-04-01T09:00:00.000-08:00

Since you've been gone I've been lonely
Longing to be with you only
Maybe there's still is a way I can find you and say
Just how I feel.

I can't believe that's it's over
Wish somehow I could have showed her
All that was inside of my heart 'stead of playing the games
You might have stayed

[Funny just the other night I was thinking
I wonder if you ever think about me
I call you on the phone, there's no answer

Oh Well, there's still tomorrow
Oh Well, I'll try again
Oh Well, maybe just maybe

[Since you've been gone I've been lonely
Longing to be with you only
If there's a way I could beg you to stay would you please
Stay with me.

I was thinking maybe I could come over
Hoping we could finally work this out
Even if tonight we don't find an answer

Oh Well, there's still tomorrow
Oh Well, I'll try again
Oh Well, maybe just maybe

If I had another chance
We would stand hand in hand
You'll be my girl and I'll be your man
Oh Well, maybe just maybe we can.

I still call you on the phone still no answer
Maybe later on I'll try one more time
Or am I just a fool to keep trying

Oh Well, there's still tomorrow
Oh Well, a fool's what I am
Oh Well, maybe just maybe

Oh Well, there's still tomorrow
Oh Well, I'll try again
Oh Well, maybe just maybe
See if I got down on my knees and gave you every little part of me.

Oh Well, there's still tomorrow
Oh Well, I'll try again
Oh Well, maybe just maybe

Since you've been gone I've been lonely

I miss you baby.

Oh Well

Watched American Idol on Channel 5 today when I was over at Ollie's, it was a repeat of the "50's theme" night. What's with Ace Young?? Why's he STILL in the competition??? Superficiality is leaving me exremely perturbed.

And for all those who do not already know........I CUT MY HAIR!!!

Cafe Del Sar(a)

2006-03-22T03:28:00.000-08:00

In the still of the night as I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight, my thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night while the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be that dream come true
Or will this dream of mine will it fade way out of sight
Just like that moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the still, still of the night.

I love you baby.

EMO!!!!

In response to the MANY MANY complaints, whines, naggings and other annoying sounds that people can make, I have finally done something about my blog! IT IS ALIIIVE!!! *insert thunder and lightning*
I've missed the days of being a photo whore and bitching about the dumbest things on my blog, but I've just been so busy and caught up with work and school. The only reason why I've finally found time is because I'm Down With The Sickness (please begin headbanging), courtesy of Ying and Al.
I have nothing else to say. I'm so boring.

2005-11-10T00:50:00.000-08:00

"Yesterday, I went to the supermarket and I bought a can of Jia Jia Liang Teh, a pack of crackers, a bunch of bananas, a doughnut, a pack of malboro mediums, a tube of muthusamy's lubrication oil, a tub of yoghurt, a salt and pepper shaker set,a box of condoms.........."

Trying to get the bloody water out of my ear.

Just got back from a night out with the "Pu Bo Kias" + friends. Went to eat at Suki Sushi at Parkway Parade,it's like $24 bucks per person for an all-you-can-eat buffet,sashimi included. MAN....did we go crazy! In the end Ollie,Ying and Beng had diarrhoea. Must've been all the raw oysters they had.
We came up with a funny list a few days ago which we brought up again while getting drinks at Lavender Food Square (which has REALLY good food by the way).

THE FIRST THING (insert NAME)'S NEWBORN KID WOULD SAY TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AFTER LABOUR.

1. Ollie: "Doctor doctor! You know ah...?/Guess what?"
2.Noel: " *rubs chin* ze ge hu shi bu cuo ma..."
3. Yu Da: " *with mouth wide open* UH."
4. Mark: "SHAO SHEE BAI!!!"
5. Kokster: "Bassist of a dream/Vun Tventy/*crow sounds*/etc." (too many to mention)
6. Ying: "Wo de ji bai mao..."
7. Beng: "Thas mean..."
8. Xiao Hua: *Stone cold stunner on Beng*
9. Suf: "Chee bai......"

P.S photos will be put up asap.

Deuce Bigalow II is damn funny. Whoever says it isn't must be in denial or have some major issues.
Anyway, had a meeting for the workers going to this year's Juniors' Chapel camp.It was pretty productive,haven't had the time to sit down and enjoy fellowship time with my SBBC khakis for such a long time.And I wanna scold DILLON YE!!!
Asshole,you had sooo much time to let me know that you won't be around during the MOST crucial stage of planning,but NOOO...you choose to tell me a week before you leave!!!Then again,showing me your 11B was good enough a pension.
BUTCH.
Hurhur.
Wish I could've joined Beckster and Jamie for a drink other than coffee after the meeting...But alas,Deuce Bigalow II was beckoning.

Will I Wait A Lonely Lifetime?If You Ask Me To I Will

2005-10-23T01:57:00.000-07:00

Gonna catch Deuce Bigalow II in while with Ollie.
Hope it's good,a lot of people said it sucked.
I'm seriously not a movie person, it's such a waste of time and money. The only movies I like are stuff like White Oleander, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood ( A MUST WATCH!!!), Beautiful Mind etc...
If I want crap humour, I just need to hang out with the "Pu Bo Kias".
Right?

A poem dedicated to the 7th of November:

Make haste, O' 7th of November, make haste!
For I am starting to waste,
A lot of time and a nickel or dime,
Just waving my arm in his face!

Arrive, O' 7th of November, Arrive;
I'm lucky to still be alive!
With Ju's bad driving and three moles a' thriving,
No wonder I'm starting to get hives.

Have mercy, O' 7th of November, Have Mercy,
Nick doesn't like my joke-sy.
So please come quick, and I'll be slick,
So slick he'll let me pass-y!!!

(read: 7th of Nov is my driving practical test date.)

I can almost hear the collective groans.

We're Gonna Have A Good Time

Finally got around to uploading Ollie's 21st birthday bash photos.

For The Benefit Of Mr Kite II

2005-10-20T01:01:00.000-07:00

So the semester's finally coming to a close, and tomorrow's my last day to hand in ALL the bloody assignments due this first sem. It's funny how you never realise how fast time passes till you're in your last year, like where the hell have the last two years gone to??
Anyway, I've been dying to watch 40 year old virgin. And Noel's burning the last 5 episodes of season 1 and the first 4 episodes of season 2 of LOST!!! You've gotta love that Chinaman, he's the best. (read: please get the whole of season 2 and pass it to me soon)
Hurhur.
As I'm typing all this, my whole damn room stinks of the devil's caffeine concoction, otherwise known as COFFEE. I hate that stuff. Ugh. Even Juich has joined the "dark side", as so aptly put by Jon.
Never invite me out for a cup of coffee. I'll spank you.

Coo Coo Kachup!

Found a really old entry on Mr-Needs-To-Update-His-Blog that made Ollie and I laugh like hell when we first read it.

Al-Qaeda Memorandum
FROM: Bin Laden, Osama.
TO: All Al Qaeda Fighters.
SUBJECT: The Cave

Hi guys.
We've all been putting in long hours recently but we've really come together as a group and I love that!However, while we are fighting a jihad, we can't forget to take
care of the cave, and frankly I have a few concerns:

First of all: Dust.While it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, we should be even more concerned about the dust in our cave. We want to avoid excessive dust inhalation, (a health and safety issue) - so we need to sweep the cave daily. I've done my bit on the cleaning roster, have you? I've posted a sign-up sheet near the cave reception area (next to the Halal toaster/griller).

Second: It's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm tryin to scare the hell out of most of the world's population, okay? That means that while we're taping, please do not ride your scooter in the background or keep doing the 'Wasssuuup' thing. Thanks.

Third: Food. I bought a box of Afgani goat cheese recently, clearly wrote "Ossy" on the front, and put it on the top shelf of the fridge. Today, two of my slices were gone.. Consideration. That's all I'm saying.

Fourth: I'm not against team spirit and all that, but we must distance ourselves from the Infidel's bat and ball games. And Please - do not chant "Ossy, Ossy, Ossy. Oii Oii Oii" when I ride past on the donkey. Thanks.

Fifth: Graffiti. Whoever wrote "OSAMA F**** DONKEYS" on the group toilet wall, it's a lie. The donkey backed into me, whilst I was relieving myself at the edge of the mountain.

Sixth: The use of chickens is strictly for food. Assam, the old excuse that the 'chicken backed into me, whilst I was relieving myself at the edge of the mountain' will not be accepted in future. (With donkeys there is a grey area).

Finally, we've heard that there may be Western soldiers in disguise trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Muzir, Ali, Akbar, Samir and Dave.
Love you lots,
Os. xxx
PS: I'm sick of having "Osama's Bed Linen" scribbled on my laundry bag.
Cut it out, it's not funny anymore.

After That Smoke I Went Into A Dream

2005-10-18T01:21:00.000-07:00

So I've FINALLY decided to update my blog, and what better a way to update it than to change my whole blog skin?

AGAIN.

hurhur.

School's out, Jean and Jay's wedding's over (lovely lovely wedding it was), so now all that's left for me to do is plan games for JC camp 2005 and work.

Am I boring or what?

2005-08-03T19:34:00.000-07:00

Found something really funny on Ollie's com.

It does make a little sense doesn't it?

2005-08-03T06:12:00.000-07:00

Been busy as hell this past few weeks.

Will blog soon about ONO and THE SHUFFLERS.

LONDON BOMBINGS

2005-07-21T09:20:00.000-07:00

London has just been bombed again.

God,please save your children in London.

Stop all this hatred and terrorism.

It's so stupid and senseless.
