I am my own uniqueness. I control my destiny.

L!GHTS On BA!

A Happy lecturers' day to all lecturers of BA =)

I arrived at school ten minutes late. The committee was supposed to adjourn at 7:30am but the weather was plain sour. Wet and humid, although I did welcome the cool breeze. It's been a sauna the past few days that i'd thought I would end up a Peking Duck =X

Most of the lecturers would arrive just before nine and we had to have our decorations at Level 7,8,9 up before they arrived. It was a tedious task we had to carry all the decor materials manually and it was bloody pathetic when the wind kept on blowing our helium balloons away.

By nine, everything was up and the lecturers came trickling in. They were simply stunned by the decorations. I was pretty glad that they liked it.

Spent the rest of the day in Society Room. Tried bloody hard to study for MFS but just didn't have the mood.

Kristi came by at 1 and we rehearsed our script for tonight. I was really godamn scared. I can talk in front of strangers. I can crap, I can make people laugh and cry but when it comes to my peers and LECTURERS!, my tongue freezes, my back stiffens and my fingers tremble.

Yeah, that's why. I've spoken to a 1,000 people countless times.

Went to do Prom publicity with Jenny in the afternoon, Kristi tagged along too. It was alright. People still got put off by the price. $75 is ex, yea, but not as bad as $85 last year. Hotel prices are rising annually; I don't know how the next committee will be able to handle the next prom. Good luck. Harsh but true words. You'll need tons of negotiations to pull it through.

Reherseals started at 3 plus. Kristi and Me were quite calm cause we had practiced our lines countless of times. Anyways, the crowd started coming in by gazillions. It freaked me out at first too. Our scripts kept on changing as unprecedented events took place. I found it hard to adapt because I already had the original script stuck in my head and my brain was refusing me to change any lines at all.

The performance went well. Coordination still needed some improvement but it was still our first event and by my standards, I still thought that the entire event went pretty well. I'm proud of my project heads and I'm proud of our chief, Jerome for putting in tremendous effort into this project of ours.

I stumbled a little while I'm emceed and with many changes, we ended up with almost no script and I found it hilarious to read from a board that Jenny held up. It was really candid. Hahaha. All in all, it was a great experience for me. I learnt that I should anticipate change next time. Don't be too comforted that you already have a script, things happen, things change and when they do, I should be able to think and react in a flash, no more blurness and being unsure. I need better reflexes.

We had our debriefing session and a few of us cried. I felt that the SCOs were a little harsh on their words but its not their fault. Certain blunders were not their fault, like the lighting and the sound. It just can't be helped. If the lighting and sound was bad, what can we do. Go ask the school to buy some new ones ><

To my project heads, the event was a success. Don't fret too much, I know your expectations were high, I cried during my first event too, panic and all, but we should take this opportunity and step by step, learn from experience, from ourselves, from each other and keep on moving forward.

As events go by, we will continue to learn and until today and I am still learning alot of things, even after being with Society for three semesters.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank all the 17 members (excluding me) of the BA Management Committee for their outstanding job last night. A success indeed.

We went to Pizza Hut to celebrate and I kept on fighting and playing with Ning Zhen. You ah! If you read this, I swear I'm going to strangle you one day. But, yeah, she's a bloody fun person. She's one of the few people who can make me laugh until I can almost die, literally.

It was really a momentous occasion. A day that should be remembered. I love BA Society and I love my MCs. Thank you for being such wonderful people and bringing happiness into my life.

=)

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

I woke up rather late this rainy sunday. It just feels so great to sleep in on such a day. Forget about all your commitments in life, just snuggle in bed and be your own storyteller in lala-land.

Nigel woke me up after his church and he came over for a short while. Jovan was having a performance at 5, so we just crapped around before we left to see Jovan perform at the Botanic Gardens. Xavier and Dylan came by to fetch us and then we headed of to the gardens.

JOCELYN WAS HERE! - wahahhahahahaha joc here lLlLLAALLAALLALALLLL -

Then, a change of plans, we ended up going to Far East. There was a warcraft or dota competition going on at the plaza and it was bloody noisy as everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs. We went to have chicken rice and by the time we wiped our plates clean, Jovan had arrived to meet us.

Dylan is in his society in the School of Humanities. We talked about society life and I realised that each society functions in its own unique way and I managed to find out what events his society organizes and the similiar woes that we face. Haha.

And hey, I still thought that you performed well for NP Idol and that you should have gone on to the finals. Anyways, your still an inspiration to many. Haha.

We went to watch Lady in the Water. It's a godamn nice show la. Something I wouldn't really watch but it kept me on the edge of my seat. Very intriuging. Not for the typical movie-goer.

A few of us went to LJ for dinner at Cine. Laughed our asses off lame jokes and after that, went home to type out the final script for tomorrow's Lecturers' Day. Wish me all the best guys! Haha.

7:30 AM, Society Room tomorrow. Don't Be Late everyone!

I love my =|WiNJAMMBe|= ....... =)

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

It's been five days since I last blogged.

Several major occurrences took place. Some were for the better, some for the worst. No need to point into detail, neither should I ponder over them. Success and failures happen and yes we should celebrate our successes and mourn over our failures, but life moves on. Time waits for no man and if you are never adaptable to change, never on the go, you will be left behind. It's a dog-eat-dog world, I know.

Tuesday was a tough day for me. I missed my CFAS project meeting. I swore I wanted to kill myself for that. My illness was a hindrance towards my ability to contribute significantly towards the project.

I went to see a doctor on Wednesday and I was put on heavy medication. I was godamn happy when I finally didn't have to dash into the gents every fifteen minutes to excrete vile and putrid chocolate mudcakes and worse still, chocolate milkshakes. You don't want to know who stinkin' bad it was. Haha.

Thursday was a full day for me. I went back to school and was rather contented knowing that I was able to contribute fully into the project. It was a field day for us as me rushed ourselves to meet the monday deadline. Had BA Society Prom meeting again this everning, third years only. We updated ourselves on our individual jobs. Our publicity will be set to full throttle this monday. I'm quite proud of the progress that we are now, and I'm confident that prom will be a success. All third years, find out more about prom on Monday. It's your only opportunity to graduate from NP with style =)

Projects again on friday. Deadline was postponed to the following friday. What a relief that was to me. At least my weekends will be a little less lighter and I can study for MFS Final test next tuesday. I had Lights on BA rehearsals tonight. It was damn complicated as me and kristi had to formulate our scripts for the day itself. Emceeing is tougher than I expected. You need to possess the oomph and the ahhh to get the crowd on the move. You don't want a dead zombified crowd after all =|

But the thing is that it terrifies me that me and Kristi will have to emcee in front of our faculty. OMFG! One mistake, and we can all go screw ourselves. The most important thing for me is that I should not turn any, i repeat, any of the lecturers off. My head will be on the dicing board if I do. Oh, Ningzhen married Jason. Hmmph. I'm sulking now, she didn't choose me. =( Nvm, I'll go marry a pancake.

I met Kristi this afternoon to review and rehearse our scripts again. Made major restructuring on how we were going to present ourselves. Jenny tagged along and helped us out. Oh, I asked the lady at the BK counter for her number saying Kristi wanted it, she stared at us, mortified and the both of us laughed our heads back to our seats. We're weird, I know.

Took neoprints with them at Heeren before I left to Toa Payoh to meet Nigel for a little while. Had a quick dinner at MOS and chatted about stuff. I really thank him for just being there. I've had my own share of problems lately. Thx man, if ur reading this =)

It's pretty late now. I need to get fourty(+100) winks and be up early tomorrow. Lights on BA is coming up and I need to be perky for it. Heh!

Nights all (and welcome back max from ur uber long camp, we MISS you very much)

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

I'm sick and tired of bloody school politics. Why can't everyone just be happy with one another. Why is everyone so unhappy with their lifes. Such people are bloody miserable, they have absolutely nothing else better to do in life and just find pleasure making other people's life miserable.

So many unnecessary problems and everyone, and I mean in ...EVERYONE has to make a bloody hoo-haa over it. Sheesh! Arghh! I really have to rant out all the unhappiness that has been welling up in me over the past few days. I'm just really don't understand why! Why paint grudges, why insult people? Why can't we all live happily ever after. It's so easy la! Maybe im too simplistic but won't the world be better with so much more happiness?

I feel that our educational institutions are a breeding ground for war, misery and bloody unhappiness. Of course, there is also harmony, knowledge and friendship that comes along with it ... but we ought to stymie all thats not good u know. Sigh.

Anyways, I've fallen sick. Man! Why me again? I've had a throbbing headache and a bloody high fever and I have no idea how i'm going to last myself tomorrow. I'd rather die. Bleah.

I'm swearing off booze and clubbing until my exams the earliest. I have had enough of it. I need to make a clean sweep, I had all the fun I wanted and its time I get back on track with my school work. I'm lagging terribly. Urgh.

Lecturers'Day Publicity officially started today. Really hope that this event will be a success. I wanna see the beaming faces of the project heads. U'll do us proud right? Truthfully, Its rather hard for me to pass the baton. As seniors, we should be mentoring our juniors but sometimes I get overboard and do everything. I need to cut that habit or else they won't have any experience. I've had my days of limelight, its their turn now =) and oh yeah .. I'm proud of the second years. You go guys and make us proud =)

Oh, Lecturers' Day is coming up and it will be held on the 31st of July at Lt. 68E ... do come down and support us ... it commences at 4:30 ...

I'm tired now and I have been in the loo the whole day excreting chocolate chip cookies, crap -.-

Good Night ya'll!

Save Me - Shinedown

I’m having the Sunday blahs. I’m serious. I’ve yet to settle down after two nights of intense clubbing. My tushie’s twitching non stop, I’m agitated. The thought of clubbing just swirls conspicuously in mind, wait more like throbbing actually. Someone save me from this malevolent clubbing syndrome! NIGHTMARE!

PLB Project meeting this morning. I only managed to get a measly three hours of sleep. I reached home at 4:30pm and dragged my smoke-and-alcohol stenched self into bed. I was oblivious to everything around me; however, surprisingly, I was wide-eyed this morning, ready to kick PLB ass! Haha, I could still feel the remnants of the adrenaline that was coursing through my blood last night. Whoohee!

Everyone who went yesterday seemed to have woken up *pretty* late, less a couple few. Provided Monica with a free morning call service at 1 am. Called back at 3 and I asked how everyone else was doing and she filled me in on what happened after I had left the scene last night.

Project ended early, we did what we could. Had lunch but Dixon left early. I dunno why, he didn’t tell me, will ask him later. The rest of us chatted until around 5pm before they left. Thx Aiqi, Wenru and Jere for the great time today =) Really felt appreciated. Haha!

Took a short nap to recuperate myself and hopefully to get the bloody “clubbing” word out of my friggin’ head for now. It’s ruining my sleep pattern and I’m not giving sufficient time for the things that I ought to do. No more clubbing for now. I’ll try. I hope.

So bloody moody now. My mood has been volatile the whole day. I have had sudden urges to blow my fuse and then later feeling as high as a hippy. To hell with my emotions. I’m eating ice-cream as Im typing this. Chocolate Hagen Daz never fails to cheer me up. I want to get out of this hell hole right now!

I really need someone to just give me a BIG HUG =( I really really need one badly.

Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy - Tata Young

Hey Everyone! Yeah, I know, I know, I haven’t updated in weeks! Lol, I don’t even think I can remember what has been happening over the past few weeks. Anyways, Saturday was plain havoc I spent the entire day doing my project. I woke up quite late today, around noon time. I was out clubbing last night and was so bloody tired even though I didn’t even drink last night, WTH! Probably just too tired from being too high.

I had dinner with Wei Wei and my parents at the Fish Bistro at Greenwood. It was just so relaxing ah. Just forgetting about all my stress and worries. It just felt good. Period. After dinner, I rushed off to Cine to meet Max, Anavil and Nigel at Long John’s. I felt so damn pai seh because they pushed back the meeting time from 8:15 to 9:00 so that I could get down in time as I was having dinner with my parents. Nigel carried a bloody big bag; he was going to have a volleyball match the next day.

Then there was this couple who wanted to take the seats beside us and the pretty lady asked us whether she could take the seat and then Anavil, shook his head, lol. He heard it wrong and thought she was asking whether anyone was seating beside us. Then we quickly called them back >< … Later, she asked whether we were foreigners. LOL! Not being egoistic but she said that she had never seen so many *choke* good looking guys congregating together >< …

Anyways, Matthew soon came, his shirt was erm, flowery ... haha and then we went out to meet Monica and her friend, Dawn. We took a cab straight to Zouk cause we were running late. The cut off time today was 10 and we arrived there at around 9:20 and the queue was bloody long la!

We managed to get in on the dot; everyone except Matthew made it in. He got bounced out! Mac tried to get him in but to no avail. The girls managed to get in unchecked because they had VIP tags on them.

Matthew decided to go meet Jovan instead and so the rest of us just went in. The place was bloody crowded because there was a fashion show going on and mediacorp celebrities were everywhere. We hung out near the wash area until the show ended. After that, we had several house pours, shots and lots of ice to get ourselves high before we want onto the dance stage. I think we spent a couple of hundred on the drinks themselves. I found myself broke after the night ended. Anavil as usual, became the centre of attraction as he danced on the top of the podium. Later, all of us climbed onto the podium too and danced our silly and sad selves away.

Someone took a photo of us, I’m not sure whether if it’s from nightlife, hopefully!! I want the photo!! Anyways, we hung out abit after the partying near Maxwell and then I headed off home first cause I have do meet up with my group project mates at ten. I’ve already had two days of clubbing. Tired, tired!

Anyways, it was a fun night la, though a few people drank a bit too much and got tipsy. Heh heh. Gtg now and everyone have a great Sunday ahead!!

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

Penalties - World Cup 2006 Finals (France - Italy)

Haha, the Weekend has been a whirlwind event! Saturday, me and the third years from maincom, together with joanne went to recee at hotels for our final year graduation prom. We scoured various hotels from the Oriental, the Grand Hyatt, Orchard and even Traders' ... We started at 9 in the morning! NINE AM! On a SATURDAY! Furthermore, our appointment only lasted less than 20 minutes, LOL!

After the Oriental at around 11:30 am, we headed for Marina Square and spend the rest of the afternoon, bowling, eating loads of ice-cream and eating KFC. I think I kept on eating my stomach went bloated. Haha. Yeah, I'm being a glutton. But, what can i do, my stomach is always growling for food. Heh heh.

We headed on for the Inter Continental and lastly the Orchard Hotel before I headed for Cine to catch Superman for the third time after its release with my family. Haha. After the movie, we went for late dinner at the Mandarin. Of course, I had chicken rice again. Ya! Chicken freak, I confess!

Sunday was a hectic day too. My extended family had lunch at Crystal Jade Palace at Paragon and most of my cousins from my paternal side of my family were there. Steph, Christina, Tiffany, Geo, Kun Liang and there was Grace and Vera too. It was also Kun Liang's birthday and wished him a sweet sixteen. He's growing up so fast la!

The few of us headed down to Sony to see some gadgets (KL and me was debating over which brand was better) and then to Adidas to see some cool jackets. I got myself two new jackets and a couple of shirts, haha ... Adidas freak man la me! I'm getting addicted to Adidas already ah! Haha!

Later in the evening, I went to Holland V again to see tha Husky that my mom has fallen in love with. The husky was so seriously adorbale but, then again, all puppies are adorable I guess. My mom decided not to get her but maybe consider another one next month when we move in to our new house.

We were supposed to have dinner at my grandma's at night but I decided to forego it and rushed home to finish of my Investment project as it was due on Monday. I worked all the way until around four as I was glued to the finals of the world cup. I was so damn sad that France lost man =( Zidane really played well during the match but I'm still dumbfounded by his actions during the final and crucial minutes of the match! But, Italy did play well and they should be commended as well. I lost $20 bucks man but, well, its just for the fun of it and hey, it only happens every four years. Who knows, I may head down to South Africa for the next world cup!

Alright, I'll end my post here! Good Night People!

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

Hey Mr. Blog, I’m here to update you yet again. Har-de-har. Let’s start with Monday. School was fine; we had a guest lecturer to address us in the morn. It was regarding Islamic Banking, like as if I had not suffered enough with Islamic Banking, thx to MFS. Ooo!! It’s like as if those two awful words have been incessantly droning in my head. Thank goodness, its over, done for, nada!

After school had ended, BA Society had to attend an event organized by BA Comm. It was their annual BASH IT OUT! It’s sort of a debating event where you have proposition and the opposition engage in a mêlée to prove their point. While I was sick and out of action, the SCOs for BA Society had already been selected and a couple of them attended the BIO event too. Anyways, it was sort of entertaining and informative at the same time. Topics with regards to current affairs, related to us in every single way was debated and the participants were rather excellent in voicing out their opinions, although, a couple of ‘em, I feel, still had a long way to go. Anyhow, it was a tremendous success for the organizers. To Marvin, Alex, Judette, Catherine and everyone else, a job well done.

Guess what, after the event concluded at approximately 7 or 8 I think, we had to adjourn ourselves to our HQ and conduct our graduation prom meeting. Even though our prom was not slated to be held till February next year, we still had loads of preparations to do and everything was a flurry while we banged pots and pans during the meeting. T’was one of the meetings were we voiced out our own opinions, and I’m glad for it. We shouldn’t be afraid of voicing out our thoughts but haha, I admit, I was rather hushed yesterday. GUILTY as charged! Ack!

Tuesday, we tackled our investment project. After school, my group mates and I headed for the library to complete our individual parts and I was kind of contented that I managed to complete my part by the end of the day. Dixon and I were the last to leave and then we headed for KFC at Bukit Timah Plaza for a quick lunch. Lol, had a rather interesting and entertaining chat with Poon, really haven’t spend much time with him, great that we talked stuff out and had a great time. Thx for that =)

Wednesday! I woke up late and actually missed school for the first time in my life just because I stayed up late to watch the match between Germany and Italy. I wasn’t even rooting for any of them. I’m still Viva Le France! I’m sure France is going to win the world cup! Go Zidane! I went to Marina Square in the evening and bumped into Eileen and then later Dixon and Vanessa. They were at SKIN looking at clothing apparels, lol. I managed to get myself a new pair of jeans. Cool.

My mom wants to get a new dog and there’s this snow white Siberian Husky that she chanced upon. It’s 3 months old and she really has fallen in love with it. My mom is a canine lover. She used to raise two Dobermans, a golden retriever and a Labrador when she was a girl. We already have a retriever and a terrier at home.

Let me tell you more about my beloved pooches. Grace Kelly, my Golden Retriever is rather unique; she has a coat of white gold fur unlike most other golden retrievers. She is bloody pampered by the family and has taken on this “manja” personality. She whines a lot and often seeks for attention. Haha, but when you bring her out, she will take on a major personality over-haul. She’ll become this polished princess, lol.

Junior, my Yorkshire Terrier is a hyper-active pooch. He the more senior dog in the family and has been with us for almost 8 years. He used to be so bloody hyper, jumping and leaping a lot. Lol, now, he has grown much older, he’s still very active but much more toned down now.

Well, Tomorrow will be Thursday and I’ll probably try to update soon again. My projects are due next week! Wish me luck!! =)

World Cup 2006 - Montage

Boo! Man, I've finally posted today. It's been a long while since I've posted something. Ok, just a few days but still .. haha .. kind of ironic with the fact that i've been mostly bed-ridden this past week and with nothing else to do, I should have the time to at least blog an enrty right? No =P ... I just dun have that oomph to blog. My was rather moody cause I was sick and I terribly despise falling ill.

Oh well, its Sunday and the 2nd day of July. Yesterday was suppose to be the SYF Parade and I had tickets to go to it and I couldn't go cause I was still recovering and I know that if I went, I would be scorched by the sun and probably die of heat stroke and I don't want to be bed-ridden for another week. A couple of people went for the SYF if I'm not wrong. Good for you guys. I shall continue to sulk.

I went over to Holland V instead with my mother. My sore throat was 90% recovered so my mom dared me to have dinner at an Indian restaurant at Holland V. I forgot the name. Lol, my mom never ceases to amaze me. Her taste buds are incredible. She knows how to enjoy good food and I'm proud to have my mother who knows where the best foods are. Well, I'd better watch myself before a tummy pops out. Hahaha!

Oh, I just realized that I have been having a craving for what else, food. When I was having my ulcer, I was most entirely sulking myself away and not being able to enjoy the food that everyone else could have. It was really damn depressing but when my throat began to heal, I started munching away (I was still eating porridge though) ... I began downing cakes, ice-cream, dim sums any food that had to do with chicken. My appetite had begun to kick in and I was munching practically 24/7. Right now, I'm smooshing on some milk pan. It's some sweet cake that is tenderly soft.

Well, I have no idea why my appetite had suddenly grown, but, I have a hunch that its because I haven't been in school over the past few days and my stress level has decreased tremendously. Seriously, just thinking of school makes me shudder. I just have the school blahs lately. The past few days, I found the time meditate and reflect on my inner-self. I found the time to think of my future, the direction I'm taking in my life and re-adjust my priorities. Sometimes, our schedule gets so hectic that we don't give ourselves time to think about ourselves. After all, we are all just human beings. We need our rest too right?

Well, for my remarks of detesting school, I'm sorry but that's just how I feel, and along with many other people I guess. Stupid school life. Making me lose weight when I'm trying to so hard to pack on pounds. I shall sue you. Remember once, Macs was sued by this girl who blamed Macs for "helping" her pack on the pounds. I can sue the school for making me shave off the kilos! Ok, FINE, Crap ...

However, it also doesn't mean that my passion for my school has dissipated, I still have to trudge under all circumstances, no exceptions! I love the work that I do in school and I'm going to pummel all the obstacles that dare to challenge me. COME ON!

I went to Wei Png's house to watch one of what I would say is the most intense games that in the world cup so far. Mao was there with her sister and then WP had a few more of his friends over to watch the games too. I managed to catch up with Wei Png as I haven't got to see or hear from him for a very long time. The game between England and Portugal was terribly sad. I actually even had the cheek to believe that England would have won. I was really hoping that they would get across to the semis but alas, as the game unraveled, hope turned into disappointment. Mr. Beckham injured himself and Wildfire Rooney got himself kicked out of the game. Poor Sods. I actually sympathized with Beckham. I could see the agony on his face, the agony of defeat. He probably knew that there was little hope that his team would get through. Their spirits were pretty much dampened. Especially Beckham. What happened to him? 4 years ago he was a booming spark and now his performance was nothing but just a flicker. Enlighten me Mr. Beckham =(

Brazil and France’s game was rather entertaining. I was extremely shell-shocked by Thierry’s goal. I was like jumping and screaming OMFG! I had France’s band (supporter) and I so wanted France to reach the semis but earlier on I thought, oh well, Brazil, they will thrash le Parisians …. I was so wrong! France played with all the oomph and ahh. They were splendid. The Brazilians also played fervently! It was really a wonderful game and it was the last few minutes that really made me want to jump out the window while Brazil attempted repeatedly to score just one goal to equalize the tally. But, Brazil did play well I thought. Not their best game but they gave their all. I’m proud of them!

Oh well, the semi-finals are going to be spectacular. An all-European game now that Brazil is out of the picture. We shall see which European powerhouse will achieve the title of World Champions. France? (Viva) Italy? Germany? Portugal? I believe that all 4 have equal chances now. I will still support France but I really worry how they will cope with a much younger Portugal team, but maybe France’s experienced players will show the Portuguese a thing or two. We shall see!

I’m still a litlee hung over from yesterday’s match. I had wanted to go home after the BRA & FRA match but I was too pooped and decided to stick around at Wei’s house till morning. Haha. I just reached home not long ago at around eleven. I wanna take a nap now!

Oh, just before I go, just wanna say goodbye and thank you to Brazil and England. You guys have done your best and really brought out the spirit in all of us. It was a great game you guys played and opportunities will still knock on your doors ... Never give up!

Which is your favourite movie this season?
