Try-hards.

A couple of days back, xie decided to pick up from where we left off about 4 years ago and headed back to singing. The recordings are as below. More info will be on her blog. She promised to give me credit there!

haha..

Told you we ( or at least I ) will be your future Singapore Idol. Muahaha..

our first try:


Look at her! damn hilarious.

seventh try:


Yes i like it,
Yes i like it ,
when you're shy.

Shy that way.

:))))

Oh oh, yeah yeah.
I love you more than i can say.
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow.
oh oh, love you more than i can say.

Christmas.

It's christmas day.
A day of sharing and giving.

but i wonder..
if anyoneelse feels the same as me:

Have i failed to mention how much i hate my family?
I hate the hierachy.
I hate the bias-ness.
I hate how they change plans as and when they like.
I hate how everyone thinks they're in charge.
I hate it when they hear nothing i say but hears everythingelse they say.
I hate how everyone thinks they can manipulate me.
I hate how i am angry with some member but i cannot express it coz they're family.
I hate how my conscience bites me when i realise i hate them.
I hate how hard i try to be filial but still go unrecognised.
I hate how my family adores those who have absolutely no respect to anyone.
I hate how they make fun of me to make themselves look better.
I hate how everyone laughs when that happens.
I hate that no one here understands how i feel.
I hate that i can talk to no one in here.
And last but not least,

I hate how everyone looks down on us.


so,
a merry christmas to everyone.
and a happy hanukkah.

Baby i am missing you,
I want you by my side.
And i hope you'll miss me too.
Come back and stay.
I think about you everyday.
I really want you too.
You swept my feet right off the ground,
you're the love i found.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

A long time ago in a land far away,
lived the pineapple princess, Tiki.
She was sweet as a peach, in a pineapple way,
but so sad that she hardly speaky.
Still, if you listen well,
you'll hear her secret wish.

I long to free a truly remarkable fish:
my sweet prince.

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
Makihiki makelini-who.
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
ooooh,
Hawana wakawakawakaniki pu pu pu.


WAHAHAHA!

Up.

The recent increase in taxi fair sucks.

With this change, a trip from JP to hall (inclusive of midnight charge) sums to $6 and from clementi to hall (inclusive of midnight charge) is $14. This is night-time robbery!

When i was in Australia, i remember commenting that their taxi charge skips so fast that i was thankful for Singapore's reasonable pricing. I guess 'Comfort Delgro' heard me.

If my mother were to ever find out how much i spend on taxi fares, she would probably realise that getting me a car is a cheaper alternative.


Even if the sun refused to shine,
even if romance ran out of rhyme.
You would still have my heart until the end of time.
You all i need -
my love, my valentine.

Power that kills.

Following the death of the 5 db, especially boon san, I've come to frequently ponder on the issues of life and death.

No doubt, it all stands within a fine line. One minute, a particular person may be having the time of his/her life and the next, his time is up.

Why do we fear death so much? Is it the loneliness? The fear of stepping into a foreign place alone or the very fact that the world will not stop moving for us?

It doesn't help that i've been watching alot of films which further amplifies how one's life can be snatched away by another just-like-that. 'Warlords' wasn't too bad..except the sad, but typical ending of men with power.

Power.
A strong word that has led many powerful men to kill and many innocent lives lost.

Over the years, MTT has taught me that to be a leader, one has to know how to be a follower. But as i slowly grow, i see myself eroding away from a leader towards being just a follower. Not that it's bad or anything. But it seems like the years spent in training and thereafter, observing others seem to show me a more frightful side of being on top than the sense of satisfaction that comes from it.

I probably am starting to detest it. Detest the fact that we can never please everyone and as we grow older, the skepticalism of others seem to never let everyone say, " hey, this is a good leader. "

How do you define a 'good leader' anyway?

Or maybe, it's because no one listens anymore. Instead, because of the disappearing simplicity, everyone's mind seems to be simultaneously chanting, " i can be better than him! I can be better than him! "

man, i miss the sea. I miss spending hours out there. Having the power to control my own boat and thoughts. Oh wait, there's still the power of waves.

Lights will guide you home
and ignite you bones.
I will try to fix you.

Redundance.

Cannot solve?
Same logic.

Wake up call,
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed.
Don't you care about me anymore?
Care about me,
I don't think so.
Six foot tall,
came without a warning so i had to shoot him dead.
He won't come around here anymore,
come around here?
I don't feel so bad.

Holiday spirit.

Back from genting ; back from badminton.
Finally, the holiday spirit is setting in. Since the exams ended, today has been the only time i can sleep in till....2:30? shiiooooook!

The one day ocbc credit card promoter stint ended yesterday. And it sucked. i'm not doing it anymore. Next time, when such promoters come up to you, do me a favour - be courteous when you say no. Don't just continue working as if we're invisible! techno singaporeans!

Had a badminton match with the family today. And i realised that the problems within are far more than what i expected. Grandparents VS parents, parents VS children, Grandparents VS children and worst yet, grandparents VS some distant relative, WHO IS A KID.

This family is screwed. And the problem is everyone knows whose fault it is but no one knows what to do with it. urgh! irritating.

IHG is starting next week and i just realised i gotta wear jerseys for the basketball matches. which means i have to start shaving my armpits. :(

a'right go watch some show..bye all.

Orbituary.

Today's the day.
Rest in peace.

and i'm sorry, once again.

:)))

The more i study, the more confused i am.

dammit.

forget it.
i've done my best. the rest is all up to god.

Hopeful redemption.

i'm sorry. May god bless you, and your family. especially your girlfriend. May everyone have the will and strength to carry one.

My condolences to you..and your friends.

i'm sorry.



Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with you.
Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy mary, mother of god.
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Our father who art in heaven,
holy be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread and forgive our sins,
as we forgive those who sins against us.
Do not bring us to the test, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

What goes around, comes around?

I used to look forward for the post-exams. Knowing that i've worked hard this sem, i was looking forward to the playing hard.

Last sem, it was the sense of relief that overwhelmed me. The feeling of having free time to settle other, non-academic stuffs.

But this sem, it's different.
I fear more for the results than look forward for the partying there after.
I hope the trip to Malaysia can really change my whole thinking.

And it's not like i've not worked hard.

I've tried much more than i have the past 2 semesters. The past 2 sems, i only studied ONCE. this time, i did so twice. But somehow, it feels different. I still had so much problem answering the research method problems. And I still get this overpowering nagging feeling that i'm gonna do really badly.

sometimes, hard work really doesn't pay off.

The irony.

Releasal of PSLE results.
First core paper out of 2.
2 exams down, 2 more to go.


sigh... another wasted day.


Cause we gonna fight,
oh yes we gonna fight,
Believe we gonna fight.
We gonna fight.

Fight for our right to love, yeah.

Nobody wanna see us together,
but it don't matter, no.
Coz i've got you.

Pictures.

For the past two weeks, i've been committed to drinking 'coca cola' light after amanda told me that it doesn't use real sugar in the drink ( yes, i was abit slow. ) So i drink 1 can per day. After all, it's called coke light, or diet coke in some other countries. Diet = help to lose weight. right?

Wrong!

Jasmine have been trying to tell me over and over again that it's still unhealthy but i brushed her away as being naggy.

THEN, in her desperate bid, she showed me smth...

!!!!

Diet coke is a joke!

Instead of helping us lose weight, it helps us gain weight! No wonder i've been gorging so much lately..

To think i could actually get fooled. Me! a future marketer! falling prey to a marketing strategy.

I'm a real disgrace to my course.

Anyway, the exams have begun. Sort of anyway. Just survived through forensic science. Research methods next. Really can't wait for exams to end. I'm hardly in hall anymore..always far far away...trying very hard to study but never succeeding. :(

Read the papers last week and i came across a really interesting picture:

women competing in some kinda do-split-and-paddle competiton. how cool is that?

makes me miss canoeing...

Cui-ed.

Comm's final written assignment --> cui-ed.
Jap listening and oral --> cui-ed.
How come i always screw up at the very last minute?

I've been trying hard this sem and though it feels much better than before,
there's still this stupid fear in me now that exams are here.

But i guess the fear's kinda different..
this time, it's more about how unfair it'll be if i still do as badly as before.

" teach less, learn more. " bullshit.

Anyway, i've been having an overdose of forensic science and CSI.
I'm always thinking of the different ways i would die.
haha..

i have a sick sick mind.


Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I'll ignite for you.

:))

I dont like to, be alone in the night.
And I don't like to, hear I'm wrong when I'm right.
And I dont like to, have the rain on my shoe.
But I do love you,
but I do love you.

With Jamie Yeo gone and 'love songs' ending too early,
I'm starting to fall deeply in love with Power 98.


All the best to everyone for the upcoming exams!

Mad.

Crazy week.

Things to be done:

- comms final presentation
- Reserach Mtd proj
- Consumer Behavior Assignment 3
- Study!
- Research Mtd experiment


Looks little here?
Looks can be deceiving!

NTU is mad. They flood us with so many stupid projects that requires tons of mindless research ( especially Comms ) and they all end a week before the actual exams.

HOW TO STUDY?!

Stupid stupid stupid.
