Rumour: Tom for Riley?

-

Tom Felton for Riley in Eclipse? It's a rumour for now.

-

He's the one who made me fell in love for Draco and pitied him for the choices he had to make. I remembered the times when HP still ruled in my heart, my obsession is all about him. Who needs Harry Potter when you have Draco Malfoy?

-

Some people don't want him to be that role because they say he don't look like the character, or that he's Draco, or that he isn't innocent enough.

-

People seems to forget that Draco is a character, NOT a real person. It doesn't matter if Felton spend so many years playing the role of Draco Malfoy, because it doesn't make him less capable of acting in another role, in another beloved book series. He's an experienced actor, have faith.

-

About looks. Who in the Twilight universe or other movie franchise looks like their characters? Well, unless they have plastic surgery. Make-up, the wonderfruit!

-

Take Daniel Radcliffe for example, people see him as Harry Potter, and he’s stuck with that. That's why he wants to break out by taking up roles which is so different from the character he played.

-

The same goes for Robert Pattinson. He’ll be always Edward now in people's hearts. Not mine though. He'll remain as Pattinson.

-

I’m a fan of Felton, and would love to see him in Eclipse. But, for the sake of the hard-core HP fans and him, I hope this remains a rumour.

-
Those HP fans who hate Twilight’s guts will pull their hair off if they know that yet another HP star went to the “dark side”. First Robert Pattinson, then Jamie Campbell, now Tom Felton!?

-

I’ve read their extreme comments, I know how bad it can get. It’ll be another battle between HP and Twilight universe.

-

I wonder how the extremists feel about this, no doubt they will rally against it. Will Felton get less love from the HP side because of this?

-

I'm not insusceptible against the blurring of lines between an actor and a character despite what I wrote.

-

I don't think I'm contradicting myself. What I'm trying to say is, people's perspectives are wrong. They see things too much. Once a bad guy, always a bad guy? I don't think so. Widen up. They are actors.

-

It is an inevitable scenario because of the success of the movie franchises and books series.

Mid-sem tests & updates

I'm finally back! *Deep breath* Feels good to write again!

For almost one week, I've been trying to keep my mind free from "clutter". All that is allowed in my head are theories and information. It's really taxing. I've always been the dreamer, the one who come up with fantasy plots for "stories" and anything that goes.

Now, my mind is free! I'm free! I can continue with the "stories" in my head. They are the fanfictions that I never penned on paper.

Mid-semester tests started on Monday, 1st June.

MBS paper was first. I always study the most for the first paper. It was fine, actually. I just studied all those notes covered in the revision lecture and I think it was great. I did get some MCQs wrong though, that I know that much. The case-study should be alright. An A for this paper!

Tuesday was supposed to the day where we see whether we got into the electives that we chose. I did not go back. Who will want to spend almost 3 hours journey to and fro just to get know that? But, due to some "technical difficulties", they postponed the release date.

My friend's and my theory? We reckon that administrative staff don't have enough time to allocate the electives so they postpone the date. Well, regardless, this Monday, 8th June, I'll know if I got into Entrepreneurship and Tourism electives.

Business Finance is my pet subject this term. Last year was Economics. For some reason, I've high expectations for it and I expect myself to score. Furthermore, the first 5 chapters are the easiest, so I'm digging my grave if I don't do well.

Unfortunately, my mind went blank the moment I read the questions. I didn't know if I should use average long-term needs or full 12-months long-term needs to calculate. I studied that so many times and yet I forgot. Initially, I use full 12-months long-term needs, towards the end of the test, I decided to switch.

Thank god for that! There really is a god, at least in my world.

The same for the other question. I cleanly forgot the formula for that calculation and wrote the wrong one first. I changed it and this time, I think I should get it correct. Am I lucky or is my sub-conscious trying to surface?

The other questions should be fine.

Today was HRM paper. The last one and I got the jitter-bug. I studied all those notes covered in the revision lecture and nothing more than that. I was worried that the lecturer may trick us.

I went to the room, read the questions, and silently cheered. Yes! The MCQs are so easy. I should be scoring full marks for it, unless there's something wrong with my eyes. The mini case-studies are great too. Although, I'm worried that I didn't write enough information. I mean, what they asked, I wrote the answers down. But is that enough? I did give definitions though.

I think my common-sense always deserts with me. Things often work with common-sense, but for me, it's just difficult.

Crossing my fingers that I'll get 80% for all the 3 papers. Mid-semester tests are the easiest to score, I should do that to help myself.

I depend very much on internal and external factors in this kind of scenario. Internal being, I will study hard for tests. External being, I believed in prayers, lucky charms (four-leaves clover) and all that.
-------------------------------------------------------
School's out! And my friend is coming to Singapore! Yay!

Someone is playing a trick on me.

I wished that H1N1 Flu will hit Singapore last time so that maybe school will be closed. Now, it's really here, with 11 cases so far and what? My friend, from USA, is scheduled to reach Singapore on Sunday.

Among those 11 cases of H1N1 Flu, most of the patients went to USA. I don't want things to get mess up... That's all I'll say.

I've lots of things to do this holiday. Pictures will be updated next.

New Moon 1st trailer out!

Ahhhhh! New Moon 1st trailer is out! Check this out!

-

It's looking good, what with the birthday party, leaving scene, Laurent coming back, and the wolf form. Edward is gone, as in, lost in the movies.

-

He can only stay in my heart and the books now. Robert Pattinson has taken over him. What the ****! The more I see the movie "Edward", the more I want to puke. How I hate those long sideburns...

-

OMJ! Taylor is looking really fit! All those muscles... The special effects is more refined now. But, it still looks fake and really unnatural at some scenes. Like the one where "Edward" pushed "Jasper" and he flew into the piano.

-

Kristen Steward's expression looks ho-hum to me. She's always wearing the same set of emotions, even though her character should be upset, angry, scared, or zombie-like.

-

While the size of the wolf is great, the effects is bad.

-

Well, well, it looks promising for the moment. I remain sceptical for now as a great trailer does not equal to a great movie. Chris Weitz, twilight fans are counting on you to make this into the sequel which can make us proud.

-

The sequel is going to be so much better than Twilight the movie and that's a fact. Because, no matter how AU (alternate universe) New Moon becomes, it can't beat Twilight's spot from it's position in the cringe-worthy movies in 2008.

-

I'm ashamed to say that I'm a twilight movie fan. For sure, my feelings for it remains on the bad side.

Photos from my birthday and Mothers' Day 2009

~My Brithday Presents~

Wolfy-dog: A "derogatory" term for by "Edward" in reference to "Jacob".

It's just a private joke.


Mug-shot of wolfy-dog.
Ain't it cute? A wolf dressed in sheep's clothing

My Swatch watch!

It's called Sepaflor and it's from the Spring/Summer Collection 2009.

It's love at first sight!

-

Finally, I've decided to update the photos taken for Mothers' Day and my birthday 2009. Yes, it's been long.

I've planned to put more than these but due to the time constraints, this is the best I can come up with. Time constraints is equal to me being lazy as high definition photos take a long time to load and if I load them on photobucket first, it will still take a long time.

So, that being said, this is just the start. I promise to upload more miscellaneous photos soon, maybe by this week.

Till then~

New Moon poster is out!

(1)

(2)


(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

*Drums roll*

-

Make a guess which is the official New Moon movie poster...

-

The answer is the second from the top. That is the official New Moon movie poster released by Summit Entertainment. The other 5 are merely fan-made.

-

My opinion?

-

The official poster looks nice but I have no love for it. For one, it looks too photo-shopped to be any good. It's either that or the quantity and quality of make-up used. I do love the sepia tones for it though.

-

The 3 main characters stances are clear. However, they should positioned Robert Pattinson the other way, showing that he's leaving. I like the protective embrace of Taylor Lautner around Kristen Steward.

-

One main peeve is that Kristen Steward's face is not showing any emotion! She could at least be upset or embrace Taylor back. Some people argued that she's in the zombie-stage, therefore no emotions are shown.

-

My opinion can be based on other people's analysis of the poster and their reactions to it. So, in the event that most reactions are great, my review may changed according. I can be easily swayed by the comments people make.
-
Other than the official poster, I've put up 5 fan-made posters that deserves the recognition. It's hard to choose a favourite because I love every single one! Each of them can seriously be official instead. Their photo-shop skills are really great and the results are beautiful. The fans have to deal with limited photos to make something that convey the message of New Moon.

-

I have a soft spot for number 4 and 5.

-

However, many fans and I may be bias with the posters. Naturally, our expectations in the "real deal" is much higher than for fan-made posters. The company has the means and resources to do what they can and they come up with this? Whilst, the fans are not that professional and they can come up with something beautiful.

-

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to do photo-shop. I'm not good at it so I had to make do with whatever is in my league. Therefore, I envy those who can come up with these. Sigh.

-

Disclaimer: All the above posters are not mine. They belong to their wonderful and talented owners.

-

PS: Kris is the American Idol! Oh yes! I was rooting for him.

Belated Birthday Dinner

Went to Changi Airport's Swensens for my belated birthday dinner with my family. I ordered the Sambal Fish, fries and strawberry ice-cream. Yum!

It's been such a long time since we last went to Swensens. The fries is not up to my standard though. It's not hot enough and not soft inside. Oh well. The next time I go to Swensens, I'm ordering the black pepper seafood pasta. It's really good.

Went to Terminal 3 and visited the lobby of the of Crowne Plaza Hotel. It's really beautiful and grand but a little too dark for my liking. The dim lights and black glass panels makes it looks questionable.

I bought a Swatch watch, OME! It's simple but lovely. I'll put up the pictures next time.

I'm still struggling to complete my work...

Updates

Well, well, it's been too long.

There are many things to update.

Firstly, I'll start with my 18th Birthday! On Sunday, 10th May, I bought Chocolate Classico from Four Leaves to my cousin's house. I forgot that it was Mothers' Day too and Four Leaves was almost sold out on the cakes. That cake was one of the few left.

I'll post up the photos next time. Thank you all very much for the presents, cards and wishes!

A big thank you to my great friend, Sharon, for your card and message, my friends in Poly and Secondary School, my Aunts, brothers, my lovely cousin, Rona, for the cute wolf toy and wishes on my blog/SMS/facebook at 12.00am! I was also pleasantly surprised by the wishes from some Cullenists from twilightlexicon.

It's been a wonderful 18th Birthday! Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating my belated birthday with my family. Woohoo, Swensens! And dare I say, a Swatch watch?

Secondly, I burnt my arm on Wednesday. It's been a ugly mark on my left arm. Soon, there will a 'cross' scar on my arm as I burnt my arm before.

Datelines are approaching. 20th May, I'm handing up my 4 news articles for Cross-Cultural Psychology. 25th May, for Human Resources PBL 1.

That's what has been killing me. PBL is really one big problem! I won't go on, since I've already dedicated an entry for it.

Thirdly, I've finally finished reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks! It's a beautifully written story, with a bittersweet ending. I don't understand why I put it off for so long. Now, I can watch the movie version in peace, since I finished the book.

Fourthly, I'm looking for Venetian glass beads to make a necklace. Beading is an expensive hobby.

My muse is not with me, therefore, my writing don't flow on well. Well, that should be all.

Mid-semester exams are coming soon and I've got to start revision. Holidays are coming too.

PBL is a nightmare

I want to go and hide in a corner and cry.

The Human Resource Management Problem-Based Learning is one big problem, trouble that starts with the letter 'T' and a nightmare!

It's really difficult and my group has to redo things over and over again. What is worst is that the due date is coming! Arghhh.... 25th May is just within the horizon.

And one thing I must say, I still don't know if my group is showing its potential or not. To be fair, jobs given out are done. I missed my old group!

I'm constantly worrying and fretting about the report and the stupid FILA. I badly want to do well. I'm trying my best here. But, I can't do everything.

I'm human too. Information is hard to get. I am thinking of getting a real text book tomorrow. I've enough of using resources that are lukewarm. I want it boiling hot. Instant problem-solver.

Stupid PBL project! What a mess this is. And there's still one more to go.

What can I do but to rant here? I'm already taking my problems in school back home. Showing a black face to everyone, snapping at them. I don't want to do this.

It is said that there is a clear line between work and home.

Typing all these makes me want to cry, so I'll stop here now. *Takes a deep breath.*

Things will be better tomorrow, at least in certain aspects.

Waiting for a good time

I really want to update my blog on our celebrations for Mothers' Day and my birthday over the weekend.

But, time is not on my hands. I hardly have time when I reached home from Monday to Wednesday, so I guessed the updating will have to wait. Sigh...

I'm feeling tired all day long.

Joyeux Anniversaire!

18th Birthday today!

-

~Bon Anniversaire à Moi~

-

It's a birthday song in French. Too bad I don't know how to sing it.

-

*Throws Confetti* Woohoo!

-

By the way, thank you for the wishes! I'll type out the names soon.

-

I'll only go out and celebrate next week. But, yesterday was fun!

-

Went to VivoCity's Bosses for Mothers' Day dinner. My cousins and my brothers and I were laughing so much because we were making fun of the Twilight movie and talking ermm, "weird" stuff. It's really great!

-

Walked around afterwards, and went to Pacific Coffee.

-

Updates

~1 more day! ~

-

*Dances around* I'm not talking about Mothers' Day.

-

Like I said before, the anticipation is so much nicer. It's kind of anti-climax for me anyway. I can't even get to have a birthday dinner before my birthday... Whatever...

-

Now, I understand why it's not that great when your birthday falls on another special day. It just overlaps what you have been expecting.

-

Lots of things to do. Peer-teaching notes for Human Resource Management is harder than I thought. Sigh. And then those Business Finance tutorials.

-

Nothing can beat the feeling of receiving a birthday card through the mail.

-

Change of my plans

OK...

My plans needs a slight tweak. No more birthday dinner at Swensens tomorrow since the family is planning to celebrate Mothers' Day. Hmmm...

I've said before, I dislike changes, especially to what I've already planned. We'll see. If not, I'll just have a belated birthday dinner next Saturday. Sigh...

I've something planned for Mothers' Day, if plan is the word to use. Yes, I like to be secretive about stuff and no, I won't share it with anyone.

Countdown to my birthday

**3 more days to my Birthday!**

Yay!

That's the only thing I can cheer about actually. I have been looking forward to it since last year. I feel that the anticipation is so much exciting than the real deal.

I'm going to celebrate it by going to Swensens and ordering my favourite dish and the fries and ice-cream on Saturday. Woohoo! I can't wait! I've been planning it since a long time ago. Everything must go out well.

Yes, Sunday is the actual date and it's Mothers' Day too. But, I'm celebrating it on Saturday.

On another note, I really need more time! There are so many things to do! Some much miscellaneous homework and stuff. I'm weary.

And I feel like updating my blog much.

**4 more days to my birthday!**

Updates

**Countdown to my Birthday: 7 more days**

A 4-day break for me. It's been great, lazing around all day.

I did do my homework though. Speaking of which, I feel like I'm still in my "honeymoon" period. Maybe, the 7-weeks of holidays made a bigger impact on me than I thought. I don't feel ready and geared up for classes and tutorials. Half the time, I'm dallying. Furthermore, the new class makes me even less thrilled to be there. Enough said. I'm worried about my projects.

On Thursday, I went to the library and borrowed more books. I have not yet finished The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks! I'm going to finish it and watch the movie adaptation. I heard it is a great movie. Arhgggg.

I borrowed a book on beads! It was not quite I'm looking for, but at least it is better than I've been looking at. Wow, those beading projects makes my hands itch.

Yesterday, we went to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. It's been ages since we lasted went there. Things are pretty much the same. We just walked around before going off.

Watched 17 Again! Yes, I've been wanting to watch it since it was released in Singapore. It is a great movie, light-hearted and easy on the eyes. There's another movie that I want to watch and that's Wolverine. Maybe next time.

That seems to be all. Tomorrow is another day. 6 hours break, oh the joy.

Life goes on

Second week had ended. Let's do some reflections.

For 3 days, I've been coming back home late and eating late dinners. It was worst than I thought to be. Everyday, I just returned to home, tired and worn-out. But, on the other hand, I've been having later-than-nine o'clock lessons. This means that I can wake up later.

As I said before, my time-table stinks. All those long breaks in between... The only good thing is that Fridays is my off-day. And that today is an off-day too.

It made me realised that Freshman time-tables are the best. The time-tables are catered especially for Freshmen, early classes and early dismissals.

I missed those Freshman days. Really I do. I regretted not giving my best and not enjoying it while it lasts. And I'm not talking about the time-table.

It's weird in my Junior class, 2B03. Like what my friend has said, everybody has their own cliques and own set of friends. Nobody really makes any effort to know each other. It's quite sad and awkward actually.

It makes me even more glad that at least, I have a friend/classmate from my Year 1 class. A familiar face is always welcomed.

The dreaded projects grouping. I should have known that I won't be so lucky every time. It's not that my project group is that bad. Well, it still remains to be seen. I'm feeling kind of apprehensive about it.

I missed my year 1 project team! The dynamics was quite great since the start. It was rather rare, in fact. I can't help but to reminiscence those days.

Another thing, I don't think I like my cross-cultural psychology class very much. I don't want to say much.

However, it makes me cherish the times I get to spend with my friends even more. I get to meet them in lectures, cross-cultural psycho lecture and sometimes, during lunch-time. Ah well, this is the best I can hope for.

Once again, I must say this. I'm not a peoples-person. Sure, I can get on well with familiar friends and people. I'm shy, so people have to make the first move. I have so much to say, but my muse seems to have gone.

Typing all these makes me melancholy. Yes, before I yet regret another year gone by, it's best to start enjoying the moment, right? I'll try.

I'm listening to December Boys by Peter Cincotti. It's a really nice song with meaningful lyrics. A little like how I feel.

Unfortunately, the video on youtube which I like has been taken down. So, I can't provide a link.

I'm thinking about you
And I remember everything, all of us
I look at the ocean
But still I can't see anything,
But all of us
~
The time of open hearts
The time before the rest of life begins
The learning who we are
What I'd give to be December boys again
~
But nothing was easy
But I would do it all again, and never change a thing
It's all about choices
But I couldn't watch you walk away
Without following
~
The lines of broken dreams
The lines dividing strangers from your friends
We live in, you and me
Oh, what I'd give to be December boys again
~
Oh, in between a man and child,
Homeless horses running wild
Everything on earth was worth a try
It took me by surprise,
I felt so good to be alive
~
Sooner or later
I'll find the end to everything,
But life goes on
Twisting and turning
forcing us through everyday
Until it's gone
~
At last I think I know,
The past is where we keep what might have been
But, it's best to let it go
Cause' we'll never be December boys again
~
We'll never be December boys again
Never be December boys again
Never never be December boys again

Stupid day

Gods, I know I would regret it! See? I knew it! Grrrr.

I feel like throttling something now...

I have a few choice not-so-nice words to use but I've decided to stick to proper English words to use as substitute.

I will rant and fume all I want and one day, I'll look back to see how immature I was. Now, back to business.

Against my better judgements, I went to this so-call Business Day which I thought was an orientation. I found my year 1 class friend there, apparently we were the only ones from our year 1 class attending.

We "signed in" and I realised that no one from my year 2 class was there. Of course, who is insane enough to attend this event when you can laze around at home? Me, apparently. Less than a quarter of the business students came. I felt so stupid all of a sudden.

I wish Alice is my best friend, she would have seen this coming.

Anyway, one other person from my class came. I wanted to escape, I just wanted to leave. But, once again, my conscience gnawed on my heart and and I stayed on. Besides, they said that once you signed in, you must signed out, or else no SEAL points will be given. Those cheaters...

I figured, since I came, I might as well stayed on to get my SEAL points. "Tricking" us into coming for this event by saying it was compulsory and all that nonsense is a low blow. Yes, I got tricked and was pissed off.

Blah, blah, blah. Then, came the games. I was going to leave in the middle of the games but in the end I didn't do it. Either I was too cowardly to do so or that stupid conscience working its magic. I endured throughout the whole ordeal with the boredom that could compete Marcus' from Volturi.

I can't say that I didn't enjoy some aspects of it.

Who says I can't have a temper? I just don't want to lash it out on people. Zzzz....

At last, the time had come for us to leave. What a relief.

Was that an orientation? NO. Did I regret going? YES. Will I do something like that again? Absolutely NOT. Next time something like that is taking place, I'll be MIA (missing in action.) Maybe, if I like it, my phantom will be there.

Oh joy, the excitement I felt for this day. I really look forward to another one. No way. Sarcasm can dripped like acid.

I won't be that goody-goody again.

Yes, this may be a small matter. But, at that moment of time, I felt cheated. As I said before, one day, I'll be laughing at this post along with some others.

School pains and dilemma (Part 2)

Apparently, I've made up my mind. Due to some untold reasons, I've decided to go, albeit how reluctant I am.

This time tomorrow, I'll be ranting away about what happen and what should have happened.

One of the reason I'm going is because I think it will be an orientation. If I thought wrong, well, I can jolly blame myself.

Stopping here. I'll be updating on various important news about the twilight saga movie world tomorrow.

School pains and dilemma

I made a stupid blunder yesterday.

I kept thinking that I have a lecture at 2-4pm, when in actual fact, it starts at 1pm. As you can imagine, I reached school by 1.45pm and found it weird that no one was waiting outside. I messaged my friend and finally knew that I had made a mistake. Gahh! That was the stupidest mistake ever! I'm feeling so embarrassed. In the end, I just went home.

On Tuesday, I had a briefing on the transnational studies I'll doing in June. I sure hope I made the right decision. It actually sounds like a nice experience to have, living in the school hostel with the rest of transnational studies students.

I'm an OK person to live with. I love my privacy a lot. I won't antagonise people, of course.

Well, I met my new classmates for this semester on Tuesday. Can't say much, I just wish for everything to go smoothly, especially for the projects. I hate those free-loaders. I'm really glad that I have a friend in the same class as I do. It makes things easier. I'm also very happy to note that I share the same lectures with my other friends. At least, we can see and talk to each other.

Tomorrow is an off day for me. And while I am cheering away, I got this most dreadful news. There is a business day programme going on tomorrow afternoon. The worst being, it's compulsory and attendance will be taken.

I find it stupid anyway. Since it's going to be a joyful event, why should they go to such extremes and force people to go?

I don't feel like going! Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who can make a decision and stick with it. I'm constantly in a dilemma. It makes me depressed and gives me headaches. For once, I wish I can stop being a goody-two shoes.

I envy those people who don't care about the consequences and live for the moment. That being said, I won't skip my tutorials or lectures. It's just that sometimes, I want to be happy for a change.

Most of the time, I ended up doing the right thing and regretted it. How many times have pass that they "cheated" us and we ended up regretting going?

My heart says "No", but my brain says "Yes". Or is it the other way round? I don't want to go, but duty calls and I hate my sense of righteousness.

If only it's not compulsory... Which I think most people won't attend. Why attend such a thing when one can do more productive stuff and go home early on a Friday?

What should I do? I don't think it will really affect me in any way. After all, this is an event, not a tutorial class or even a lecture. So, what if I don't go and should someone ask, I'll just say I'm ill? Or what if I just say I've already plan my own programmes? I won't go around accommodating time-slots into what I've already planned.

There won't a need for MC anyway, unless they demand it, which I doubt. Come on, it's my off day, I'm so looking forward to it and now, it's dashed.

It's hurting me!

Should I or shouldn't I? That's is the question.

Updates

Many things to update.

First of all, school term started yesterday. The only good thing about it was that my friends/year 1 group members are taking cross-cultural psychology too. The 5 of us can meet up once a week for that one hour of lecture.

Today is the second day of school and already I'm lethargic. I'm feeling sleeping now. Luckily, I'm off on Friday.

I'm worried about the transnational studies programme. I really don't know where to meet and the time it will end.

Next, my English is getting rusty, especially the grammar. I pride myself in my English most of the times, well, not exactly pride, but still... I need to brush up my grammar, it irks me when I'm not sure how a certain sentence should be.

I've mastered the song "Who'll stop the rain" in a few days. It's a really nice song with great lyrics.

I'm shedding now, like a snake, oh gods. First my face, then my arm. Ahhh...

Well, I guess this ends here, for now. I can't remember what else that I want to update.

My favourite song: Who'll stop the rain

My favourite song as of now. Originally sung by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was featured in December Boys.

Lyrics:

Long as I remember,
The rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring,
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia,
Seeking shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playing,
How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together,
Trying to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pouring,
Falling on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.

Sentosa outing

Went to Sentosa with Secondary 4 classmates on Friday. In the end, only 3 girls and 6 guys went. A little pathetic, maybe.

My friend and I went there via bus 855, wow, it was a long journey to Harbour Front Interchange.

Boarded the bus en route to Sentosa. I was thinking, there should not be so many people there since school term has already started except for Poly. Still, there were quite a lot of people, playing volleyball.

The sun was especially hot that day. I didn't play volleyball but sat in the shade. I was still sun-burnt quite badly. In actual fact, I put my legs and hands out in the sun to sun-tan for a while. Who knows that I got burnt? The guys had it even worse.

Washed up at about 5-6pm and went to VivoCity to eat dinner. Ate at Carl's Jr for the first time. The burger was huge, although I just bought the normal one. I didn't finished it. The fries are quite nice though.

Walked around and went home afterwards.

My skin remains red and the awful tan-lines is getting on my nerves. Luckily, I don't wear too short shorts and T-shirts. What is bad was, only my right leg and arm are very red. My neck and ear also had it bad.

I was telling my father to go to Sentosa so that I could even it out, by tanning my left leg and arm.

Yes, I don't feel like typing hence the short update, there's no inspiration for me to write. I hope things will be fine again. I'll post up the photos soon.

Tomorrow is the start of school, going to school at around 5pm just to have a stupid lecture.

My own countdown clock & time-table for Year 2

Yay!

Finally, after hours of trial and error and editing, my New Moon Countdown clock (S'pore) is out!

I had so much trouble finding a free website that allow me to upload my own pictures in addition to a countdown clock. At last, I managed to do it! I went from photobucket (editing the necessary photo) and going to springwidget to upload it and slowly adjust the timer in.

This is my greatest achievement yet! I'm suffering from back aches though. Too much time spent online.

On another note, I got my new time-table today. I'm in the class 2B03. I sure hope that there are people from my year 1 class in the same class as I am.

The time-table is weird and I'm starting to regret the trans-national studies. Yes, I only have to study like 5 weeks but the tutorials will be very long. Oh gods.

I hope everything will turn out fine.

Procedure

Went out the whole of today.

My mother went for colonoscopy - an examination of the large colon at Mount Elizabeth hospital.

It took up such a long time. First we waited for registration and then went to the ward to rest. Anyway, the whole procedure wasn't that long, 1 hour to perform the surgery, another hour to rest and for the sedation to wear off.

The waiting to go into the theater part was the longest.

My father and I went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for some drinks and snacks at about 12+pm.

After my mother was discharged, we went to Paragon for lunch. I bought new shoes for the new school-term. The shoes are from ViVie. Once again, the pair of shoes I wanted was not available. So I had to settle for second best.

We had lunch at DeliFrance. I ate plain baguette and shared iced tea with my father. Plain baguette is the nicest bread.

Went home after that. I'm starting to have withdrawals because I didn't go to the Lex for the whole day.

The car pack fee were really jaw-dropping. Almost $20!

Righteousness and worn out

School is starting soon. Arrgg!

I can't believe it, time really flies when you are having fun. I'm feeling lethargic lately, and don't feel like blogging. I don't feel like doing anything.

Even posting on the Lex seems to lose its novelty. Why is it so? My aim is to have 1500 posts in my alias when the holidays end. I'm on track so far, 1431 posts. I'm "completely dazzled!", but I love the rank "lusting for blood" more.

I guess by the time my school term starts, I'll have to cut down on Lex time by a lot, since I'm on a completely different time zone. I won't even have people playing with me anymore. Sighs. No more thinking up the weirdest answers to the Wrong answer thread, or making fun of the Cullens in the Post-Its thread. I really have fun on these threads. Sarcasm and dry-wit is what I'm trying to achieve.

I feel like I'm suffering from a burn-out. I've been posting and laughing like crazy on some 'good' days, where I'm posting on 3 different threads at the same time. It's like coming down from an adrenaline rush.

Nothing excites me anymore! I don't care much about who is cast as which character in the upcoming New Moon movie. It's not my place to say anything after all. I don't care how big New Moon is going to be. I try to be thrilled but it's just not working.

I was so worked up for Twilight the movie and now, the consequences is, I don't care about how things are going. OK, I'm kidding myself if I say I don't care at all, but the euphoria is no longer there.

Another thing, I'm getting too affected by matters that happen in the virtual world. Recently, there was the invasion of trolls in the threads of the Lex, more specifically, the Cullenism thread. Some of these people came preaching about how Cullenism, a fictional religion, is not showing respect to some other real-life religions.

I mean, come on, fans create this for FUN. If someone is offended, then don't come on the thread and you won't see it. The best way to get rid of trolls is to ignore them. It's certainly not wise to rise up to the bait.

Some people are really weird up in the head. Why remains so uptight? Most people take it as a joke, but if someone really practice Cullenism, it's his/her choice. You can't go around dictating how others should behave.

And don't go around saying you have the right to speak what you want. Yes, you can do that, but this is a private website that supports twilight saga. Don't come in here saying how twilight stinks or anything. Go create your own website if you want.

Gah! I'm so worked up over this and for what? So righteous...

Finally, I'm trying to become someone else in the virtual world. I'm not having much luck so far. There are times I'm breaking out of the shell, but others, I'm still myself.

The virtual world is where I want to be different. I want to be unafraid of people's opinions. But I can't. It hurts when people commented on what your alias is doing. Not that people are hostile and mean, I'm thinking it's I who is hostile. Or at least, not partaking in the activities. Besides, most of them are "friends" with each other. And I feel kind of "out'.

I'll try my best to rid myself of unnecessary burdens. It's bringing me down. I shall enjoy the time while it lasts.

Cousin's Wedding 2008 photos

Jurong Point

Went to Jurong Point yesterday afternoon to get some beads and beading wire. It's a long journey, no wonder I don't like to go out.

The problem is, there isn't any shops selling beading materials near my place. This is the first time I went out ever since my holiday started. A little pathetic, maybe.

I'm so going to get a car as soon as I get my license and have the means to buy one. I may need to wait till I'm financially secured though. My dream car is a BMW/Audi/Volvo, in that order.

I think I will start making the bracelet tomorrow.

Ramblings

Another post for the miscellaneous stuff.

First of all, I wanted to scream! What happen to Fanfiction website!? I need my fix, now!

God, I sure hope it's not my problem, whatever that may be. I don't mind that much if they have maintenance problems or what. Just give me back my Fanfiction by tomorrow morning and everything will be fine.

As of now, thank goodness, Fanfiction is back on. Yay!

I've read many novels so far. I'll probably spend some time reviewing some of the novels these few days. For don't what reason, I don't feel like typing much.

I'm getting depressed. Maybe it's due to the fact that school is reopening soon. Yes, it's immature of me to demand a longer holiday. If the holiday is any longer still, I'll become a worm.

I'm aiming for a total of 1500 posts in the Lex by the time I go back to school. It's not that hard to achieve that, as long as there are people who will play in the 2 threads I frequent.

There is painting work going on in the housing estates. Gone are the sunny red, orange and yellow paint, here comes dreary green and more green. I've seen the sample of the end result, it's really different. It's this mix of greenish-blue and green design.

Oh yes, my cousin finally gave the disc containing the photos of her wedding, with me as her bridesmaid. Some of the pictures are rather flattening, if I must say so myself.

Last but not least, I made some New Moon-inspired banner and avatar today. It's quite different from my usual banners. I'll post them up on Facebook as soon as I edited them and perhaps on here too.

That's all for now.

Isetan

It's been quite long since I last updated. I've time, but I don't feel like writing or typing for that matter.

Went to Isetan at Shaw Centre. I wanted to get a bag for the new school term.

Just as we were finding a parking lot, we past by a yellow Porsche! I saw the emblem of Porsche on the car hood. I told my brothers about it and later, we went there to take a look. It's yellow, it's sporty, too bad it's a Carrera and not Turbo 911.

My brother took pictures of it, although he should have zoom in on the emblem. Ahh well, I should take some pictures myself too, but didn't.

We ate at Sakae Sushi at Wheelock Place. It's been quite a while since I last ate at Sakae Sushi.

Walked back to Isetan and visited the supermarket. All those different kinds of Japanese food and products makes me excited. I saw the $90 melons. Wow, imagine I were to buy one, my mother said the peel and seeds should be eaten too.

We bought some of the cracker beans and Shishamo. I love Shishamo, but it's expensive to eat it in Japanese resturants. It's quite cheap if you buy it in supermarkets though.

I just released that Isetan at Orchard Road is different from the Isetan in Tampines Mall. For one, there isn't much choices on 'normal' bags. Almost all bags and shoes sold there are branded goods.

Anyway, I bought a Reebok Bag. Why is it that whenever I want something, it will be the last piece or not available anymore? That bag is the last piece but since it's OK, I just bought it.

Had drinks at McCafe outside Isetan. It's quite the lovely place, like we are tourists.

Happy April's Fool Day!

OK, seriously, this is one of the best April's Fool jokes! And not the evil kind where a worm will take over the world.
-
Twilight Lexicon has become LexiKalebCon overnight, at least in USA timing.

-

I was just refreshing the message boards when all of a sudden the normal threads disappeared and became all about Kaleb Nation.

-

Kaleb Nation is the original Twi-guy. He's a guy who read Twilight for research and does commentary for each chapter of the books. I'm not exactly a fan of his, but he's very witty.

-

The above video is dedicated to him from the creators of Twilight Lexicon. It's a great tribute and the song is really catchy and hilarious. Soon I'll be singing along.

-

And like all April's Fool jokes, people got tricked. They ranted and raved about "how twilight lexicon should just go back to normal and enough already of Kaleb Nation". It really makes me laugh.

-

True, the time difference gets on people's nerves, like mine and some others. April 1st is almost over in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.

-

Well, it's a nice joke, surprisingly, I didn't get tricked. Maybe, I'm really aware that today is April's Fool Day, I just had a little shock over the disappearance of the threads before knowing that Twilight Lexicon is getting into the spirits of April's Fool.

-

Last year, humans of Forks "took over" the Lexicon. The year before, the Volturi was there.

-

I was aware of the humans taking over the Lexicon, a pity that I didn't know about the Volturi.

-

It's been great!

Something funny

This video is really funny! Many people recommended it so I watched it. I really love the techno version of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

The second video is combining the lyrics of the song "Spectacular" in Moulin Rouge into Harry Potter OotP film. It is a genius piece of work as the lyrics reflect what is showed in the video.

I love the part where Dumbledore says "The Triwizard Tournament is Spectacular, Spectacular!" and makes those whooshing sounds. The part where Karkaroff is 'singing' "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside". is really great too. It was originally sung by the evil Duke in Moulin Rouge.

Common sense is taking a break

This is absolutely classic!

Check out the link: http://www.twilightlexicon.com/2009/03/27/hey-kids-dont-try-this-at-home/#comments

What's next in this crazy world we are living in? Seems like people are getting weirder and lamer as each day goes by.

The news: A 13-year-old boy went around biting people and his father blamed it on the influence on Twilight.

How funny is that? There is something mental about the boy but what's worst is the crazy notions his father had. He's clearly delusional.

Like the comments the 'news' attracted, I feel that some people have too much time on their hands that they want to be a part of the limelight in the local papers.

Twilight lexicon couldn't have put it any better. "In our opinion, Twilight is no more likely to have you chow down on classmates than Harry Potter is likely to have you jump off a building on a broom stick.
We’re really hoping that as Dr. Phil says that “common sense hasn’t taken a holiday” and that obviously there’s a lot more going on here than than movie mind control. The last thing we need is a warning of “don’t try this at home” stamped on the DVD’s a la McDonald’s coffee which amazingly is hot and hurts if you spill it on yourself."

Oh boy, I really want to see news that reports on some people leaping off buildings because they are Spiderman and thinking they could fly with a broom. Note the sarcasm here?

One of these days, to prevent getting sued, all the things, ranging from DVDs to brooms to utensils should have a stamp of warning on them.

Well, well, does that mean that since New Moon movie is coming out, we will be reading news on how some delusion kid try to cliff-dive because Bella is doing it? Wow, the suicide rate will be on the rise.

How about biting animals instead? Since Twilight is all about "vegetarian" vampires. That way, the boy won't even be getting jailed because of it. He can just say, :"I like my meat rare, very rare."

Hmm, what about those scenes about approaching strangers or leaving for Italy without letting your father know? They are not being very responsible.

I wonder...
