When i grow up, i want boobies and big butts.

Hello GUYS!
HAPPY 2012! I'm sorry i'm late again. I keep thinking that L hasn't posted. Next time when we all meet up, i'll treat you all something. Promise.

Anyway, 'what i want to be when i grow up' , this question has evolved with me as i grow up. Being the typical little girl and with Britney Spears as my childhood idol., i wanted to be a popstar. Now let the laughter ensue. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I soon realise it was impossible when my mom pointed out that Brit has beautiful large round eyes while i have the 'true blue Asian eyes'. Damn right i was heart broken!

Then again,there was a period of time when i wanted to be a "professional pool player" seeing how easily the people shoot balls and win the prize money. Not the type where pools hire me to enhance their pool complex's ambience by playing in their kiddy pools. I know I look like a kid, but hey...I'm not THAT retarded. But obviously as i got older, the ideas changed as i realised how ridiculous it really sounds.
Then again, the reason for my next ambition isn't all that reasonable either. I considered being a prosecutor because of a Korean drama i watched when i was in my primary years. The reason being the guy was very good-looking (his name is lee dong gun <: ) and he seemed really cool with all his detective work and stuff. Another reason, that's more personal was that; when i was young, i was always getting scolded and whacked for answering back my elders. I mean, im sure every one of us went through it right? When you're not in the wrong but the adults keep rubbing it in your face that you have 'sinned so greatly' that you deserve a tight slap in the face.
But right now, i just want to be lawyer and work for the 'Legal Aid Bureau' ensures equal legal service is given to all even the least fortunate ones. Especially the least fortunates. The naive reason of the freedom of talking back still exists but now it's further fuelled with the excitement of how to manipulate the law and see justice served. I maybe no Captain America but i will do my best to be my own Captain T. (due to the "secrecy" of our blog, let's maintain the nameless-ness ey?) HAHAHAHA

So in future, if i do succeed in my law studies and not back into management stream, do not hesitate to look for me for legal advice aye? haha

once again, HAPPY 2012!

xoxo,
T

I think everyone here knows what I want to be when I grow up. Film-making. I've talked about it so many times on blogs and other stuff, I don't really have anything else to say. Well, I guess they type of films I want to make are like short films or music videos like how Wong Fu Productions or Strawburry17. If you guys don't know who they are, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. GO LOOK THEM UP ON YOUTUBE. Anyway, all the Singaporeans I  personally know are pursuing wedding videography and I will never understand the appeal of that. It's just not something that I'd want to do.

To work on this whole film-making thing, I'm planning to save up and build up my gear before I move to Los Angeles in a couple of years.

THINGS (I THINK I) NEED:

1. Pocketpod or The Folding Tripod
2. Fisheye Lens Adaptor
3. Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens
4. Some sort of proper lighting. Either an external flash with a ring light adaptor or soft boxes.

Oh my lust for these things.

Anyway, last post on this blog for this year. Happy New Year.

"You really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook"

Hello, ladies. How you doooin'?

Quick Update: I went to the gym the other day. Now I know what you're thinking. What is gym? What is it that you speak of? I know, I know. Haha. It's was a weird experience. Oddly satisfying but weird nonetheless. I'm pretty sure I looked like a n00b when I went. And I was so paranoid to get on the treadmill because some people may judge you on how long you spent there. Haha. I burnt 200 plus calories that day and was so proud of myself. I went home and found out that it's only equivalent to a pet bottle of coke, and I swore never to step foot on a gym again.

Oh and HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING MORE FUN THAN ME. <3

This theme is so hard! Whenever I get asked for movie recommendations, I suddenly forget every movies I've watched. And for some reason, it's been a while since I watched something I thoroughly enjoyed. Not for the lack of trying cos I've been watching a lot of movies online this week. They all fall either in the "hmm not bad", "okay" or "meh" categories. And they're supposedly good movies! Rotten Tomatoes said so and I believe him! But yeah. Is it just me?

The Social Network

Oh my goodness. I don't remember enjoying a movie as much as I've enjoyed this one. I love the dry humour and the raw honesty in it. It is such a good movie and it's so real. It's more than just based on a true story. You'll be conflicted about whether you love or hate Zuckerberg. He has such a, for the lack of better word, cheeky and devil-may-care personality, which he makes so admirable. He finds humour in everything and he's sarcastic to boot. He has a strange mixture shyness, awkwardness and a heavy dose of arrogance and cockiness thrown in there. I loved it when he was brought in by the school council for hacking the school's files and he turned the tables around and claimed that he's actually helped by pointing out gaping holes in the school's security. On the other hand, he's such an asshole. I figured it's more than 80% based on true fact since Zuckerberg would've filed for defamation if a substantial part of the movie is untrue. Goodness knows that it's not actually made to make him look like a god, and it's amazing how even when you hate Zuckerberg and think that he's one cocky prick, you still have respect for him. That's not easy.

What I love most is the irony of how someone who created such a successful social networking site doesn't know shit about relating to people. I think this is one of the most fascinating, engrossing and enjoyably cynical movie out there. I can't safely say it's my favourite movie, but I can however, swear that it's one of the most awesome movies out there.

Here's a quote from the movie:

Mark Zuckerberg: I went to my friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with. Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.
Gage: Your best friend is suing you for six hundred million dollars.
Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't know that, tell me more.

Here's another one:

Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at Gage] What?
Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage: Okay - no. You don't think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
[pauses]
Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

If you did not even crack a smile while reading those... Son, I will be disappoint.

YAY

Hey guys! It's 12am!

that means its...

friday friday gotta get down on friday!

YAY. AWESOME TOPIC! I think alot has changed for me this year, I've been watching a whole lot of movies -- it's heaven.

Let me just say that I haven't really thought of my all time favourite movie yet, so im just gunna list some really awesome moives down and then maybe number it from there. Firstly, im gunna categorise it (btw, if you haven't watched some, do so coz I highly recommend it :D).

Human movies:

Shawshank redemption

Inception

avatar

titanic

real steel

Pirates of the Caribbean,

nick & nora's infinite playlist

slumdog million air

Amelie

Borat

Xmen - first class

The notebook

Crazy stupid love

Sweeny Todd (probably the only horror movie + musical that I'll ever dare to watch again and love LOL)

Animation:

how to train your dragon

up

toy story

finding nemo

Tangled

Rio

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

My name is totoro

Spirited away (one of my all-time favourites, if any credit, this gets in one of the top few)

Sorry I made you run through that really long list. hahah... I realise that I love all of them and there really is so many to think of! If I were to skim through the movies i've watched, I realise that I'll always have something that I never thought of pop up and shout "remember meeeee... I WAS AWESOME!!!!" so yeah. I really dont have a favourite movie coz awesome ones always pop out. The list up there are either 4 stars/5 or sentimental to me. :)

Pirates of the Caribbean is probably my favourite movie series (coz it was so much fun), and was one of my favourite movies till other movies came in... haha.. so that lasted quite abit. Haven't really had a fixed favourite movie, maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. However, I do have a favourite Korean drama :D I stopped watching any more after that. It's called Secret Garden and I like it alot. Story, soundtrack, actors are great :D Watch it if you have alot of time or if you can prioritize. D:

Anyway, there are some movies that I really really want to watch (that are already released).

The Twilight Saga is one of them (i dont care how horrible they are I lost track of it totally and it bothers me)

Scott Philgrim (sorry Liza!! It was on this list I swear!)

Sherlock Holmes

Puss in boots

Rango

Shutter Island (yeah............lol)

The curious case of benjamin button

The Lady

The Muppets

Super 8

Aiyah seriously lah. Just alot of movies I wanna watch. hahaha.

Anyway, don't get me started on the actors bit. there isn't alot really. There are some prominent ones I'd name -- ones that all of us know. And those that stand out to me. I never really pay attention to the actors, although I should. I shall make it my new year's resolution then. :)

Ok, I'm done now :D Merry Christmas you guys! HOHOHO! ahahaha... :)

Merry Christmas, happy new year, and to all a goodnight,

G.

PS: If anyone's a fan of Doctor Who, his movie's coming up. :D

PPS: Who thinks it's pointless to initialise our names? coz everybody's mentioning everybody's name on their posts anyway lolol. OH WELL. we can pretend that we'r keeping our names a secret. In which case, readers out there, our names arn't really Liza Trudy Lellel and George.

My own. My love. My precioussssss.

Well well, so it has come down to 'my favourite movie' ey?

Truth be told, i don't think i have a favourite movie, more of a favourite actor/actress but not movie. If i love the story line, then the movie definitely was taken from a book. Then it would make that my favourite book not movie. HAHA

But in order to answer this week's question, i shall combine both favourite actor/actress with an awesome story line to be my favourite movie. I guess the movie would be.... WOAH. This is harder than i thought. There has been SO DARN MANY movies. It's like Hollywood is encountering production diarrhoea. It never stops. HAHAHAHA.

Due to that, i shall choose a movie that is dated the earliest. I'd say 'Gone with the Wind' but i'd really be lying cos im currently obsessed with the storybook not the movie. The actors/actresses in the movie were horrible. HAHAHA

So my choice would be, Mary Poppins. Though the whole series of Lord of The Rings came closely in its heels. It would have taken first place if not for the date. HAHA. I love the people in the movie, the carefree and nonsensical but also touching songs as well as the fantasy adventures. Man, i wish my carousel would bring me on a ride around the country too. In short, the animated singing and occasional dancing with Mary Poppin's miracle just make me wish i was one of her charges. haha 

Now, LORD OF THE RINGS. on second thoughts, i think that whole movie series is truly my favourite. But i shan't delete the earlier mention of Mary Poppin cos i love it as dearly as well.

Why won't anyone love LOTR? Action packed, understandably wicked story line withlove story intertwined, magic spell- bounded and flooded with hot guys. WHY WONT ANYONE LOVE THIS AWESOME PACKAGE OF A MOVIE? 'nuff said. 

By the by, just to get everyone in the Christmas mood, if you're not already!

Merry Christmas dearests!

Boo. You whore.

#nowrapelaying Forever Yours - Alex Day

Rapelaying = raping the replay button


You guys probably already know that my all time favourite movie is Mean Girls (2004). I can't really say anything else about it. I'm sure you all know why I love it, and I'm sure you all love it as well.

Another movie that I recently promoted to number two on my list is Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Forever awkward Michael Cera, forever kickass Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 8-bit everywhere, video games. What more could Liza want. I plan to own at least two of the graphic novels from the series by the end of next year!

If you guys haven't watched either of those movies, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE FRIENDS. Also, you should watch those movies.

Very very overdue

Hey guys! HAHA.

I'm so sorry about the lag! I was so busy. I just finished editing 2 of my videos, so that's 2 down, 2 more to go. Lately, alot of things has been happening, to cut short, I had my shoots, my classmate's shoots and my church shoots. I think I really need a break because I haven't had proper sleep since the 5th Dec. I. need. my. holiday.

I really wanna finish most of my work before Christmas so that I can slack for at least 3 days haha. You know, now that I've done editing, I still have to add in music and do bloody tonnes of paperwork! AHHHH. The music's easy (coz Im not doing it), BUT THE PAPERWORK. MAN.

have I mentioned to you how much I hate paper work?

Anyway, the best thing I never had huh.

I can't really think of the best thing I never had -- I think I am blessed to be where I am.

If I could name something, it'll probably be an older brother. Or any sibling. It gets pretty lonely when you're a single child. You learn how to entertain yourself, which was what I did when everybody was busy around the house. It's not that I don't like being a single child, it's just that it's nice to have another person to share things with. I used to envy kids who had siblings, everybody seemed liked they had them. EVERYBODY. I say that in context of Singapore because in China it's 1 child, however growing up there is not the same as growing up in Singapore.

In China, it is normal to have 1 kid, thus every kid mingles with each other more than Singaporean kids do. Correct me if im wrong, but it's just something I assume it to be.

I'm not a kid anymore, so I don't mind being a single child now -- just contented with what I have. There are probably many many things that I can list of never getting ever, but ultimately it goes down to how you view your circumstances -- positive or negative.

So that's it for me. It's 1:23am now, I need sleep! haha!

Goodnight <3

The Hardest Thing

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. ;)

Who is she anyway and why is she saying all those things?

HAI Y'ALL.

I just got back from Bintan this morning. Nope, sorry, no souvenirs. I suck. :( I forgot to bring my own money to Bintan, and everything was so expensive. Seriously, whoever got me so excited by telling me that everything there is dirt cheap needs to be slapped. It's like Singapore there, really. The tourists all came from Singapore, Singapore currency is used, there're Japanese food, Western food, Korean food and everything but Indonesian food, and everything was so expensive. Like seriously. A can of coke costs more than $3 EVERYWHERE. It got me so depressed. I had fun though. I loved my hotel room. I would gladly live there forever. And OMG the breakfast buffets were heavenly. And the staffs are just the nicest people. I would go back, if I could.

Anyway, on to the challenge of the week. This is possibly a theme I do not like at all. I can't talk about the top two of the hardest things I went through because of reasons. So I'll have to settle for my 3rd one. Damn, I sound like some sad fuck who went through so much suffering that they need to be numbered. Oh well. Here goes the story of the downward spiral of my past year life... enjoy.

This day last year is so much different from now. I can't believe so much has happened in just a year. Maybe it's because of the shift in the environment. Somehow, poly changed us. We all anticipated a change, I’m sure. After all, change is one thing that remains constant, but how can things change so much? With so little action, it creates this series of events that led to where we stand now. How do we go back? How did we even get here? If we could undo one thing, would we?

I lost a great friend. I say lost, because even if we’re still friends now, it’s not the way it used to be. He’s different now, he’s changed. I miss him a lot. The old him. It might kill me to tell him in person, but I do. I remember how we couldn’t go half a week without insulting each other or a week without hanging out… We all have that one friend who you can’t stand half the time but we really give a damn about them in a I’d-care-if-they-die kind of way. Hehe. No, really. It’s a purely platonic relationship that only a few people would understand. The kind that you’re like a cross between siblings and best friends. You squabble like siblings and argue a lot but when it all comes down to it and when it counts, you’re there for each other. To give advice, to offer company or just to be there.

I like to blame it on him, to say that he’s the one who drifted first, but I know it was my fault. I won't go into any details but he said as much. I’m sorry. And I regret it. I wish that I’d get him back but it’s clear as day that I won’t. He’s so different now. Sometimes I think that I don’t even recognize him, so I just stop trying. I will always miss him though.

The process of accepting that I lost a best friend is definitely one of the hardest thing I went through. Maybe I’m still going through it. I don’t know. So there you go.

I went in here not really knowing if I was gonna tell it or not. I don’t know why I did so I’m just going to assume that there’s a reason for it. Sorry for sounding sentimental as fuck.

I'm not going to expect you to understand anything I just said, and we are not to talk about this ever again. I'm just going to pretend I didn't just opened up about this to y'all. haha.

Have a great week, everyone.

Dear y'all,

I'm so sorry! I admit i forgot to post. I remembered the night i was mugging for my last paper for Torts but when i finished, it was 3am and i guess the fact that i fell asleep drooling on my notes explains it all? SORRY!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand "best thing i never had".
I've always been envious of you guys in a way you know. You guys have really awesome, caring and loving father who is there for you all the time. In all my 19 years of life, i have never celebrated any occasions with my dad. Well, the only birthday he ever celebrated with me was my first month birthday and i only remember it through memories of photos. The only present that i ever got from him was my trip to Korea last year and i have a feeling that would be my first and last of it.
You guys may sometimes find your father irritating and a nag but truly, can you imagine him not there at all? Would you be happy if he wasn't there to nag and actually be there for you?
Well, i can't really answer my own questions there cause i never got those situations.
Despite that, i'm still grateful for my mom. Although i may never have the best dad in the world, i have the best mom in the universe.

I guess it's safe to say that if you don't have one thing, God makes it up to us by giving us another.
Then again, we should not just look for the "best thing in life" cause one can't really define best if you haven't had it all in the world before. You would just constantly try new things and think that that's the best thing ever happened to you but in truth, the are still so much more in the world to explore and experience.
But for now, happiness is the best thing we should all have and i hope you guys are happy with whatever you're doing now.
This Christmas, make it the best you've ever had and have no regrets for it no matter what happens.

Sorry, i gotta go now! Laser tag event in school and I'M LATE HAHAHAHA

Loviya!

P/S: LIZ NICE HAIR! (Y) I bet you're the coolest girl in that town now <3 <3
P/S/S: LELL ! NICE SEEING YOU THERE YESTERDAY! HAHA epic <3<3
P/S/S/S: G, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?! <3<3

The Best Thing I Never Had

Hi,

This week's theme is "Hardest thing I've ever been through". I have quite a number of inappropriate jokes in mind, but I shall keep it to myself.

Nothing really comes to mind when I think of this week's theme. I guess the only thing that I could come up with at the moment was when I was about seven or eight years old. I had just moved from Pasay City to Cavite City and I didn't know anyone in my neighbourhood. Making friends was okay, easy for a kid who grew up in Philippines' little Essex, but the hard part was when I had started going to school.

I went to school with my cousin, who was also my best friend at the time, and she was the only person I knew in that school. It was a pretty small school and everyone knew everyone because it was a small neighbourhood and everyone grew up together. Basically, everyone started going to that school since preschool, so everyone were pretty close with one another, and there I was. This city kid, getting thrown into the deep end of a "provincial" city.

It was hard, I think, because I was the "ugly" cousin. I was the fat, unsporty, untalented, lazy, stupid cousin. despite the fact that I'm almost two years ahead of everyone else, I was still regarded as less smart than my cousin. Then I got thrown in with her group of friends, and we'd always be compared with each other, and I'll always be on the bad side. "Why don't you make friends with other people", you ask. Well, I can't. There are no "other people" since our school really is THAT small.

Don't get me wrong. I don't blame her for what I went through during that time. I am very proud of her and what she has accomplished, and I still love her to bits. I guess it was just really annoying and sad that I had to grow up being connected and compared to this other person, not being able to make my own name.

I hope this makes sense.

In other news,

I'm flying off for the Philippines on Friday! I'm not really excited, but I'm not exactly dreading it either. I guess it's just a thing that is happening for me. I just hope that I'd be able to get at least a bit of work done while I'm there so I won't drown in homework when I get back.

School's been pretty hectic as usual, especially this week. I've got tonnes of work to do, just for this one module, which is 2D Animation. I actually really enjoy the module, but the thing is, is that it is SUPER time consuming! And it's not something that I can easily do at home, because I need the light box and animation plate, and the Animation room is only open on weekdays 9am-6pm, when there are no classes. Ahhh. Hectic week is very hectic.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing fine! Enjoy Christmas in Singapore.

Muchos love.

Overdue

Hi guys.

I'm sorry I didn't get to post this on time. I had Common Test yesterday so it kinda slipped on my mind.

Anyway, I like this guy. This guy with the nice hair that just swoosh with his every move. With the lean body and tanned skin. His eyes sparkle whenever he laughs. And omygoodness, his laugh! I just melt into a big puddle of goo whenever he flashes that cute smile. He's funny and smart. Not to mention, non-existent.

Am I annoying you yet? No?

I don't really like anyone right now. Which is so weird because I always have a crush. But yeah, nope. 'eye candy' is such a popular term in poly. Crazy how such a juvenile term is the hit in poly and it was rarely used in secondary school. But well, I think I have one of those. Eye candy, I mean. Only because I thought I finally found a cute guy from my course that is not associated to our former school mate, ehem, but then it turns out that he's not actually from my course and is good friends with our dear school mate. So yeah, egg on my face. He's still cute though and I see him often. If you know me enough, you know that I avoid eye candies like the plague. Because I think that the chances of you fucking up in life or making yourself look like a fool increases tenfolds whenever you're near a cute guy. Or is it just me?

I hope you guys had a lovely week and good luck for your common tests Trudy! And for your written tests if you have them Liza and Grace. Can't wait to hang out with y'all soon!

Prata + Milo

I am eating prata for breakfast now. I don't know why my mum bought prata... I mean, she usually buys Macdonalds or some dim sum, but today was prata. Not hating on the indians. Just thought it was unnatural of her to buy it, and I spilled some milo on my prata. hahaha... ooo. kinky(?) no? ok...

SO ANYWAYS. err. WHO I LIKE.

Well, it's pretty tough given the millions of boys out there,

but i think i'll go with Mr. Wai yan Stany. lolol.

Why I like him? hmm. I'd like to answer that fully one day. haha... well there are many reasons why I like him, probably enough for you all to be disgusted about, so I shan't go into too much detail LOL. I like him because he always never fails to make me smile, we do get into arguments alot but we always resolve it at the end of the day.

I asked him once, "how do you know that you've found the 'The One'? I mean, how can you be sure that I'm 'The One' for you?"

(yes, I was Pmsing)

Then he said: "I'm not sure if im the one for you or you're the one for me, I don't think there's ever 'The One', but we can make each other 'The One'."

And then I said: "Where did you get that from?"

lol

Anyway, just grateful everyday for him in my life. :)

There are cute boys at my block though. Oh yes, when I was filming in a cafe (it's just beside Timbre @ Old School) the waiter/cashier (the place had little staff) was really really really cute. He was skinny and tall, and he looked like a model. He wasn't really courteous while I paid for my drink, so that was quite a turn off. hahaha... other than that, no more cute guys in reach. LOL. in reach hahahaha (cuz' them are all celebs).

PS: Robert parkinson looks like Animal.

No target detected.

HURRO.
This week i'm well aware of the topic at hand. Sadly, i do not have much to say to it. Since i'm quite sure the topic did not mean a rockstar otherwise Liza would have mentioned some other idols, so i shan't attempt to misinterpret it.
Anyway, honestly, there has been no target found. Well yes, i do find some guys in school cute.. Like my cute guy #1, #2 and #3 ( Gee, i'm naming them like guinea pigs HAHA) but no, i don't like them.. Not enough to even find out their name or what class are they from. It's just that i so happen to get excited when i see them or know that they're near. Most of the time, GuoJian just go "eh your cute guy" at the busy canteen and i'd take 5mins to search excitedly and only find him when he has left. HAHA Pathetic i know but hey, it makes my day. Somehow...
So sadly, that's all i have to say.

This week is one crazy ass rush week as is usual with one week before any tests or exams. Stupid project deadlines timed just ONE week before tests. How the hell do they expect us to study right!?  Look at the time now! I'm still finishing up my project outline! Bloody hell. Curse whoever who came up with projects. They're probably too bored. CURSE YOU.

On a brighter note,my last paper will be on Fridaaaaaay (16/12/11). Holidays starts when the clock strikes 10am THANKGOD.

That's about it.
Good morning!

Chivas

Hi,

I like guy named Theodore. Well, I don't really like like him, if you know what I mean, but I guess he's the most like you'll get out of me.

I'm not too sure why I like him though. He's not attractive as he used to be, he smokes, he seems incredibly pretentious, and he's gay. And not like effeminate gay, he's a manly gay, but he's like gay. Like homosexually. It's weird, but he's so interesting! I just want to keep reading about his life.

I really don't have anything else to say about this week's theme, so let's go on to the updates.

Nothing much is up, just the usual schoolwork. I thank God so much that hell week is over. Now I only have a few projects left to do before I leave for Philippines, and I am enjoying my work. I am itching to shop and go out and chillax before I leave though, so hit me up!

I need to film my whoneedsplanes video now, because I'll be busy as balls tomorrow. In case you didn't know, I have a collab channel on Youtube and you guys should support and subscribe! SHAMELESS PLUG, WHOOHOO. Anyway, it's at youtube.com/whoneedsplanes

Goodnight.

"My taste in music is perfect and anyone who disagrees is wrong and probably smells weird."

The theme i had been waiting two weeks for!

HAI GUISE.

Quick update: common test starts next week for me. On a Saturday. The reason behind that is beyond me. I haven’t started studying because my brain thought it was the optimum time to get back in to reading after not touching books during the holidays. Hey Trudy, is it true that TP's starts two weeks from now? jealousy.

Anyways, I can’t really remember anything I did this week besides celebrating Seong Eun's birthday and meeting up with Liza for Starbucks. Those are probably the highlight of my week. Funny, cos I had days like that every week back in secondary school.

WHICH REMINDS ME. GRACE HAVE YOU WISHED SEONG EUN HAPPY BIRTHDAY YET?

All right so on with the week’s theme. I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT.

Oh and I totally laughed out loud whenever Grace pointedly tells me not to hate on her type in music. HAHAHA. I miss art days. I miss you, Grace.

(This is probably in order of favouritism. Probably.)

1. ALL TIME LOW

This comes as no surprise since I’m pretty open with my love for them. No, I will not call it an obsession even if it looks close to it. Obsession is such a Sec 2 word. Haha.

Whenever their fans describes them, they always say, “they helped me get through a very difficult moment in my life” and “they were there when no one else was” or “I wouldn’t be here if not for them, I owe them my life”. Sadly, All Time Low and I didn’t share such drama. I love them just because. No other reason, no life-altering moments that brought us together.

Anyway, I can remember the exact time I listened to them. Six Feet Under The Stars was the first song I’ve heard of them. I didn’t particularly liked it at first but then it started to grow on me. Enough to make me remember the band’s name, but not enough to make me listen to all the songs the band has. Then Essential15 did a cover of Remembering Sunday in youtube. I fell in love with it, and that was the time I “discovered” All Time Low.

I fell even more in love with them when I got to know who they are off stage. As far as you can really get to know a band that is, they are amazing people. I’ve seen them live and it was such a great experience. One that I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life, even when I’m in my 30s and probably think they’re shit, I’d still treasure the moment I spent watching them.

My favourite album is either Put Up Or Shut Up or So Wrong, It’s Right. My least favourite is The Party Scene, their first album. Man, did they suck then. Hahaha. And I Feel Like Dancin’ is probably their worst song.

Favourite song: Painting Flowers or Therapy

2. Mayday Parade and The Maine

I can’t decide which band I like more.

Mayday Parade is probably one of the very, very few bands that stayed close to their original sound after selling out moving to a more widely recognised record label. I enjoy their music so much. Some of their songs take a while to grow on you. Definitely won’t stick with you on the first listening. Besides Fall Out Boy, they have the most kick-ass song titles. And their lyrics are just so… asdaslfflkdjfds. No other bands really write like that anymore.

Let's drink to memories we shared Down one to all the hopes and cares Here's two for being unaware that you're gone Because before too long you'll be a memory

(One Man Drinking Game)

Now I'm wearing a smile that I don't believe in, inside I feel like screaming.

(Bruise And Scarred)

The Maine. I’ve listened to Girls Do What They Want and their cover of I Wanna Love You for as long as I can remember. Mostly just because I thought that John O’Callaghan is the hottest piece of ass ever existed on stage. I’ve only gotten into them fairly recently. Don’t get me wrong, I still think that John’s sexy and I would still like to have epic sex with his voice, but I had fallen in love with their music too. I love how there’s some unexpected humour injected into some of their love songs.

Mayday Parade: If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask OR Miserable At Best

The Maine: Into Your Arms

(John O' looks positively dishy in this one!)

3. We The Kings

The person who introduced me to this band is WEE KIAT. Hahaha. He probably didn’t realise it. It was back in Secondary 3. We were on our way to Wee Cee Pee and I rummaged through his song lists and listened to Check Yes Juliet for the first time. For a long while, I kept singing it to myself and loving people who sing it with me then. Ahhh, memories. Then Liza heard me singing it and offered to send me the whole album. I WOULD NEVER STOP LOVING YOU FOR THAT LIZA <3

Their first album, We The Kings, was perfect. Like probably one of the best albums out there. All of the songs were great. That guaranteed them instant popularity, if I’m not wrong, they got signed up to a major record label. I couldn’t say the same for their second album, Smile Kid, though, it still had some songs that had the same quality I loved about their first album, but somewhat forgettable. That’s fine, maybe it’s just because I was expecting so much because of their first album. However, the third album isn't good. I refuse to believe that Travis wrote “Sleep With Me”. Granted that I don't like their latest album, my love for their first is enough to make me still look forward for the fourth album! I remember how excited I got for their second album and how Liza said, “I don’t like them anymore. I realised they’re pretty gay” or somewhere along those lines. HAHA. Liza is never one to mince her words. SMH. Anyway, I believe that even if I don’t like some of their songs, it doesn't make me less of a fan compared to someone who likes everything. That just happens to be my opinion. :)

Favourite song: August is Over and Secret Valentine

I love that We The Kings has music videos for their best songs.

People (Grace. HAHA.) tell me that I listen to bands that sound the same. I disagree. They have the same genre, but I can definitely differentiate their sound from the other. :)

I'm reaaaally sorry for the blurness and fuzzy brain issues yesterday.
So here's another post to replace it since there need to be some form of "synchronisation".
As you all may have known by now, i'm pretty slow on the music and youtube videos' updates. I hardly go to youtube unless i heard a really catchy song somewhere and i want to look for it.

My all-time favourite bands that i can sing along to almost, if not all the songs that i can relate to my life would be:
(in no favoritism order)

# 1 - Metro Station

Yeah, it's Metro Station still. I still love to groove to 'Shake It' whenever i can even though there's nothing to shake. Even if Cyrus has decided to kill our childhood by knocking up with Brenda Song, i still love the songs the band produced. One of their songs that gave me a major impact is 'Seventeen Forever'. It reminded me exactly when i was seventeen that i won't stay young forever. It reminded me to just let loose myself sometimes and go wild with fun. I don't think i've quite fulfilled that until now; at nineteen. I propose a composition named 'Nineteen Forever'. HAHA

#2 - We the kings

Now, WE THE KINGS. I've always liked only 'Check Yes Juliet' only in Sec 3. It was only recently that i fell madly in love with their songs. I'm probably considered as a cliche lover 'cause you guys probably find their lyrics as such. But i still love them cause it's more than just their lyrics that i love. Hear them in acoustic and you'll get what i mean. 'August is Over' and 'Skyway Avenue' acoustic is REAAAALLY good. The song 'Skyway Avenue' touches me every time i listen to it, especially the stanza:

Where are your guts to fly,
soaring through, through the night.
And if you, take that last step i'll follow you.
Leave the edge and fly,
We're finally alive.

As for 'August is over', one particular stanza still haunts me:

You're almost gone,
You're good as gone.
August is over.
We're not the reason. 

Yep. August was the end.

#3 - Copeland

Now Copeland has really been the most memorable band in my list. This band's songs were the ones to introduce me to music websites and applications like limewire. I just came to Singapore not long and i was in the Language school with the other foreigners. This friend of mine lent me her iPod classic one day and introduced me to a whole list of new artistes and songs. This band in particular, she listed me one whole page of songs which i eventually downloaded everything; and i fell in love with them.
Some people may find their songs a drone or whatnot but the feelings it gives me is indescribable. It's not like the normal feelings how the normal pop nor acoustic gives, but something more mature to it.

Have a go at it. If you love it, share the passion with me. If you don't, well, just let it slip off your mind. [:
Enjoy!



With this list, it doesn't necessarily mean that i don't love all those other awesome bands out there like Maroon 5 or Fall out Boys. It's just that the number of songs that i can sing along and relate to are mostly from the bands listed. I think i can confidently say that i know all the songs by these three bands.

So yeap. That's about it. Sorry again about the confusion!




[ Any person can make music; Music makes a person. ]

7.45AM woke up in the mornin'

I woke up at 745 today. Automatically.

O_O

I've been waking up really early- automatically - these few days... I don't even feel tired at all now!

It's amazing! I've always wanted to wake up early, like 6o'clock early to jog. haha.. do you know? I've actually gained weight? :P And quite a few too. :) ......... :( it's not good.

That's why I always wanted to wake at 6 to jog.............but I never did.....

ANYWAY, The topic I would like to pick is... (actually is it supposed to be a set theme for everyone every week? or can we pick our own?) MY FAVOURITE BAND.

I like alot of bands actually,don't really have a favourite. Some songs I like, some I don't. Like for eg. Coldplay. I really really adore the recent albums, but the later albums arn't as awesome-but they're still awesome.

Anyway, here's my list. In no particular order. :D

1. Coldplay

2. One Republic

3. Train

4. Owl City

Actually screw the no order thing. I realise I do have it ordered.

Re- do of list:

1. Owl City/Coldplay/One Republic

2. Train

3. Maroon 5 /Toploader

YAY. DONE. :D

The slashes mean they share the same spot 8D

Don't hate, relate.

Peace.

I love them because their songs are all so chill. Like seriously, their notes and beats and everything just makes you feel gooo0o0o0oood. I like feel-good songs <3

I also like R&Bish Clubish songs, like dance on the floor or Replay (Lellel rmb? "i'm in the kitchen cooking things she likes" hahahaha DAMNRETARDED) or forever.

I also like the lady gaga genre hahaha. Like you and I, Judas, paparazzi.....etc.

I like POP. :D

So that's it for my favourite bands/songs!

Here's my favourite song:

DONT HATE, RELATE!

Lellel.

Whooo. I hope you all have a groovy weekend. *grooveh*

Gunna film today,Sat,Sun,Mon and Tues. :D! Excite!!!!!!!!

AND CHRISTMAS IS COMINGGGG YAY FAVOURITE HOLIDAYYY

I've been anticipating it since October. hahahah.

OK GUISE! STAY CRAZEH!

LOVE,

G

Ps: My daughter loves you :3

Just because I miss you all.

Fall Out Boy, Sugarcult, and Dashboard Confessional [2.1]

Hullo,

I'm incredibly busy this week, and I just know that I definitely wouldn't have time to write this post on wednesday itself, so I'm gonna procrastinate on my work right now, and start on this week's post!

So this week's theme is Favourite Band.

The thought of picking out my favourite band is daunting to me. I listen to a pretty wide variety of music, so it's pretty hard for me to just decide on one band, so I'll give you my top three.

Fall Out Boy.
I have no idea when or how I started listening to Fall Out Boy, but I love them. I still can't decide whether I prefer their newer albums than the old ones, but I definitely know that I can listen to any of them at any given time. Their songs just seem like the type who can fill up any mood, if you know what I mean. It hurts to think that the band has pretty much fell out, and boy, am I left with an empty feeling inside knowing that I'll probably never get to hear them together live ever again. Nevertheless, I'll forever love their kickass songs which both make sense and fail to make sense at the same time.

Sugarcult.
Now this band was introduced to me by my friend, Ben, and I have loved them from the moment I heard the intro of the song, Memory. Hardcore beats mixed with ridiculous, yet meaningful lyrics, and you get Sugarcult! I just love how they can sing about sex and whatnot, without sounding raunchy, but still be able to have decent Ballad-ish songs in the same album.

Dashboard Confessional.
This is probably the band that I have known the longest. It was introduced to me by my friend, Kian, and to be honest, I'm not sure why I like it. Some of the lyrics are ridiculous and their performances isn't the best, but I like them. I like their songs, and I can listen to them any time. It's just one of those bands that just gets me, I guess.

Fall Out Boy - Sophomore Slump or Comeback Of The Year

Sugarcult - Shaking

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

Boys are more difficult than exams, so beware. [1.4]

Best piece of advice I've ever gotten my entire life and it came from Javen's 80 year old grandmother.

HI GUYS. HAIIII.

I've been doing okay. Well, not really.. but it’s hard to explain and it doesn’t really matter so I’ll just stick with “okay.”

It’s really nice having something like this again, like a diary to share with you guys. I’ve missed writing in the book so much so I’m really glad we decided to carry this on.

We’re having an E-Learning week this week. That means no school except for that one time I had to meet with my group for a project. We have a lot of things to get done though. I did almost half by Tuesday until I realised I was dangerously close to being right on track and keeping up with all the work so I decided to step back and not touch anything anymore. Until today. But I still have so much that I will have to rush the rest. Awesome.

School’s being such a bitch lately, with all the homeworks, projects and the need to brave the lunch crowd everyday so you won’t perish from starvation. Projects. I hate them so much. Especially group projects. Seriously, whoever thought that, “Maybe if we force them to work together, they’ll develop a strong friendship and produce a better end product?” WRONG. It doesn’t do shit besides get people pissed off because they only care about their own opinions and anyone who disagrees with them is automatically wrong. Well, at least that’s how it is in my group. Sometimes. But enough about that. Think happy thoughts.

I went pigging with A Soh at Swensen’s the other day. Omgosh. I’ve never ate so much. They had this free sundae promotion going on, where you get an honest to goodness sundae ice cream off the menu for every main course you order. It was lovely. Then we took the bus to TP to meet up with Trudy and hang out with her. It was fun. I’m glad I didn’t go home early. J

Then today, we had this Christmas party thing at a family friend’s house. And the amount of food I ate makes pigging at Swensen’s look like an after-meal snack.

That’s all. Sorry for the long post, but I hope you guys would post a long one as well. I really like reading your posts and I’ve missed you all. I hope we get to hang out again together soon! Speaking of which, Seong Eun’s birthday is coming up! We gotta celebrate. J

LOVE YOU GUYS!L. xx

Salutations \\// [1.3]

Hey guise!! It's been awhile.

Things have been pretty crazy in school with my project works and stuff. Everything is likeable there, except one thing. PAPERWORK. I absolutely HATE paperwork. Like to the max, like ttmxxxxxx X∞ man. :( PAPERWORK I DONT LIKE YOU.

But enough about paper work. I've been trying to scout for a cafe and a bookstore. Anyone with relative, mother, father, or friends, or friend friends-you name it- that owns a really nice cafe?? like those romantic places? haha.. appreciate it alot. :) ask around please? and if you have really pretty bookstores to recommend, comments below vvvvv

hahaha.. today i'm going location scouting with Stany... lots of cafes to visit, and lots of emails to send. Fingers crossed! :) Also like liza, busybusybusy days ahead...

(Btw, Liza, were you under Tan Heng Han? haha he damn asshole.)

Even though there's alot of paper work and scouting work and well, just alot of work, I'm having so much fun! hehe. (maybe not when Im doing paperwork) but still, I can see busy, fun, probably stressful, days ahead... but I think I'll LOVE them ALL.

Hey Liza, thanks for continuing the book thing. We all should hang out soon! preferably during holidays! I'm not sure if I can make it this monday. I havn't had my schedule finalized yet, but I hope I can come C:

Honestly, not seeing you guys for a long time makes me feel pretty awkward. Idk why, but I hope we're not awkward anymore. :D

Yepyep! see you guys sooon! :)

Lots of luv <33 :P

I had a dream that i was a queen. Woke up; i still feel like a queen. [1.2]

Dear you guys,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Well, that was an epic starter. *grins* Since it's the first post, i shall not choose a topic from the list yet.
I've been really fine lately, as i have said i would. I'm keeping myself busy with school work too. Bloody hell, projects are piling up! haha But i will manage. Tonight is the night that i will rush my work. You see, my timetable sucks like a baby sucks a pacifier. My Fridays are filled with TUTORIALS. Which means; no skipping. (boohoo) and classes starts AT 9AM and ENDS AT 6PM. Poor me, no? Fortunately, the last class from 4-6pm can be ended earlier 'cos it's legal letter drafting class. So if i actually draft the letter beforehand, i get to go home early! *grins*

So apart from that, the rest of the days are okay. 

TPRAWKS was awesome. I performed a song i wrote.. (teehee)

PROMAX was EVEN MORE AWESOME. Yeahhhh.. *NUDGE THEGEEK* (hint hint; still remember?) HAHA

Back to current day; today is a good day. I haven't laughed so much and really feel happy in a long time. From 8am i reached school till the time i got home i didn't stop smiling. Today is good. I just felt the need to note it here.

Anyway, i really miss us all being together again.. Many things reminded me of the times we used to spend together, like just sitting in the bus i was reminded how we played 'dai ti' on bus to Great World or Orchard.. I hope coming Monday's Breaking Dawn date will be our reunion after so long. I can't wait!

One last time, i'm really proud that we're starting this blog to replace our  usual books. This should increase our efficiency to write on here. Oh in case you guys don't know, iPhone has a Blogger app. So...iphone users (all of you,psssh!) download it so that when you are on the bus to school or from school; you can blog. *smiles*

P/S: a little something to remind us why we love twilight.

Take care guys..

xoxo.

[ An awesome day starts with a bright smile. ]

LocProd [1.1]

Good evening, guys.

I've seen you guys around at least once over the past week, but not all together! We need to hang out all together soon.

Anyway, I've been doing pretty good. School has been extremely tiring and stressful lately, but I'm still alive. I've been pretty broke, but thanks to a lovely coin bank one of you gave me for my birthday, I am slowly saving money! I am rather proud of myself.

I've been having a lot of ideas for projects lately, but I haven't had the time to do anything. I recently started a collab channel and I already missed one week cos I haven't had the time to film. Speaking of film, I'm the director for my Location Production assignment and it was fun! I hope things turn out as well as I hope. I also want to film more short films. I haven't had the time to write or even plan anything, so Dinner In Bed is on hold. I still have a lot more projects in mind, but I haven't had the time to even plan any of them. Hopefully, I'll get to do so by the end of this semester.

I really don't know what else to say since I've been blogging about my life on my own blog. Hahaha. I hope you guys are all doing fine!

Muchos love.
