1. Great wall. Went on our first school excursion to the great wall with SQ and 3 buses full of international students. Koreans, Japanese, Thais, Malaysians, Turks, Americans. The 2 of us were the only Singaporeans around. Went to visit a museum with tombs and olden artifacts, before a 18?-course lunch, looking at the tourist trapping shops and then making our way to climb the wall.

SQ and I decided to claim to climbed 1/3 of the entire wall, but in actual fact we have no idea how long the whole wall is susposed to be. The fact that we took more photos than strides, and more resting on the steps than moving up them, was another point to consider. Even the many old folks around who were climbing the great wall seemed to have so much more motivation.

Bus journey to the Great Wall was 0.0 with the tourguide speaking in incomprehensible English trying to give us a geography lesson, only to be laughed at and told by students in Chinese that they couldn’t understand his English. Bus journey back to school was horrible as there was a big traffic jam. Butts, legs, back, neck cramps that were worse than climbing the wall itself were shared sentiments.

1. Visited the Lama Temple one day when I wanted to go somewhere that closes early, (as it was early that day) and the lama temple was the only place I know that closes early and I’m sure I know how to get to. (because the train station is called Lama Temple) It requires an admission ticket to get in, and makes public announcements in two languages, aka its another tourist trap. -.-

Anyway it being a tourist trap has its pros: Photographs of the gods are not allowed (even though some angmohs still do take photographs), but photography on the grounds are allowed. Because so many angmohs and photographers are taking photos, it doesn’t feel so weird or disrespectful to take photos of all the typical scenes, ie the lighting of joss sticks, the bowing down to the gods.

After a while I figure that since I’m here, why not? So spent more money buying a packet of joss sticks. There were 3 bundles inside. Used one bundle for the alter at the entrance, and drew 3 sticks each time for all the other many alters after that. In the process staining my black camera, black jacket and hands with the yellowish-golden flakes that dropped off from the joss sticks.

Its pretty amusing to watch the foreigners at it. Most of them do not know how to use the joss sticks, and it was interesting how they came up with their own ways to use them. Some literally throw all the joss sticks in from a distance, some plunge the bundle in flame-first. 0.0 They had lots of fun throwing coins at this structure that apparently to many people is a “wishing well” thing, but has a sign that says do not throw coins. >.<>

1. Xiaozhu autograph session!

It was at a huge CD shop in a mall in WangFuJing. (think HMV-ish) Didn’t intended to go in the first place, was deliberating between exploring a random place, the autograph session, or back to school for a wushu fighting elective class. Made up my mind to go and see the crowds, and leave if the crowds are too crazy and I can’t see xiaozhu at all. Met SQ & Cheryl there, and got convinced into buying his Rashomon album (yes they release it in China damn late) and queuing up like the rest of the crazy fans there. The procedure was quite orderly, for what, I have no idea. The autograph session is split into 6 zones. The zone 1 people gets to go first etc. and guess what I was in zone 6 due to the last-minute buying of the album. & I was split up from SQ & Cheryl who were in zone 3. L

The event was stated to start at 6, but people were already queuing up at 4pm. I didn’t wanted to queue up, so went to explore the rest of the mall instead (finding relatively cheap Sony DSLRs), before joining the back of the queue at almost 6. The queue stretched all the way through the toilet corridors, down many flights of stairs into the carpark, and then surrounding the perimeters of the whole carpark. -.- Was seriously bored in the carpark, that I took out the lyrics sheet from the album and start reading them, that I observe the people around me (most were girls, there were guys too, most are young, about 3 years younger than me, some even came with their mums), that I played all the games in my phone. Felt so stupid, but legs couldn’t bring themselves to leave.

After an hour or so the queue finally started to move, and then it slowly moved into the record store, where shelves are all moves away to make space for all the people. The queue inside was surprisingly civilized. There was no clear barriers that indicate the queue, but nobody cut queue even though it was so easy to. Entertained myself by taking tons of photos of the crowds, and also by the extremely lame host. For example, there was a point of time when LuoZhiXiang wanted to go to the toilet, and everybody went crazy thinking that he might just leave. The host went “虽然你们都是小猪的老婆，可是上厕所还是他一个人上比较好。”

He was cute, soooo cute, upclose. Cuter than on print and on screen. Its seriously his charm that swept so many girls away haha. Told him I was from Singapore, and he looked up at me. Hahahah. Sound so crazy now. Anyways, shook his hand and he signed the album, but there wasn’t any impression of it because I was so stunned by his “in your face” face’s cuteness, and the whole thing was over in split seconds.

Went to find Cheryl & SQ at the carpark after that. Was super confused when they told me to come to the carpark, before realizing that there were many other girls in the carpark, trying to find Xiaozhu’s car. Fanclub people and a few groups of other followers. Pretty exciting to follow them around the carpark, and being amused at their screams at every white big car they come across. Begging the security guards and hotel people were in the game too. Gave up after a while, had dinner at Ajisen Ramen (which is so much cheaper than Singapore’s), before heading home, still high from the event.

1. April Fool’s! At least it wasn’t boring. Was suggesting stupid tricks and jokes to CXY (who is about to sleep) when victim #1 Joy came online. I started off typing an absurdly ridiculous sentence on skype, which she believed! The story went more and more elaborate, made-up as it goes along, and Joy insists on skyping us. Xinyi (haha cannot sleep now) & I couldn’t stop laughing. The joke went on for almost an hour before we convinced her to call Tiffy, and all 5 of us were on Tiffy’s end yelling Happy April Fools to her. Joy is awesome. XD

Another joke was Tiffy knocking on ZY’s door in the middle of the night, which failed because he was too deep asleep, but the rest of us heard it. Haha damn stupid.

The next morning, we were pwned by the teacher in Media Management class, because the teacher did not even turn up at all! -.- While waiting for the teacher to show up, (while the rest of the class left one by one), ZY was doing his “punishment” writing for drama class. Kidnapped a piece of his writings, he couldn’t find it anywhere and was a little irritated to find out that its Aprils Fool, oops. Joke fail.

Pwned by myself after that, for boarding the wrong train on the way back to school, and not being able to find the classroom, because apparently the teacher was screening a video and the lights were off. -.-

And I guess, that was Aprils 1^ST.

1. 2D1N class outing

Ponned Writing for TV/Film class on Friday to joined Tiffy’s CR classmates on their class qingming break trip, time flew by on the bus ride there, the class was so united, playing games like Truth or Dare, and sing-a-long sessions. Our first stop was this beautiful scenic area, with beautiful mountains and lakes. Then it was to the farm residential area, where we stayed at for the night. It is so cosy, with a courtyard and bedrooms surrounding it. The beds are so soft, there were pretty floral prints everywhere and a thick comfortable blanket. Its like going to a chalet, groups of people started playing cardgames, mahjong tables are set up, some singing and dancing away in the KTV room, and others merely nua-ing and watching television in their rooms. After a while, Tiffy, SQ & I went to explore and climb the nearby mountains. Feels great to be “standing at the top of the world~” –sings-

Dinner was home-cooked food by the farmers, which is pretty much zi-char with 30 people surrounding 2 tables. There wasn’t enough space, so eventually we ate standing up and moved around the table to get the dishes we want. After dinner was campfire night! It was awesome sitting around the campfire in the cold, eating bbq meat skewers and chicken wings, and drinking beer. The class’s really great fun and united, playing orientation-like games and games that involved the whole class, like doing this thing where you stand in a circle and hold on to the person in front of you and step “ left-left-right-right-front-front-back” before breaking up to from groups, and those that doesn’t have a group gets forfeited. They also played the game where everyone held hands, gets tangled up and tries to untangle themselves, and we taught them games like the “em-chi-chi-tuki-tuki-tongka” game. More KTV singing/cards-mahjong-playing after that. Conclude that they listen to the same music as we Singaporeans do, Jay Chou, Amei, Liang Jing Ru, Chen Yi Xun, Stef Sun, Wang Fei..they even sang English songs like “My heart will go on” and songs by the Carpenters.

Next morning, we visited the Canyons, which is quite touristy again, with signboards everywhere and attractions such as walking on a tightrope, flying fox, and boat rides. (reminds me of com252 part about tourism and authenticity.) Lunch was massive sharing of junk food by everyone, everybody just go around offering food to everybody. Visited the Karst Cave after that, a place where they show all the preserving of rocks structures that forms pictures and tell a story through natural processes. Another touristy place, but the structures are really amazing. (: Then it was time to go home, and to leave this bunch of fun-loving class, whom we might never meet again. L ohwells, the trip was an amazing experience with awesome people!

1. aboard a super cool bus that has seats that can go almost all the way down, massaging buttons to press, movies, dramas, songs & games to play, with food and drinks served, and a cute waiter. hahaha. I mostly watched movies: The devil wears prada, 大喜事，幸福万岁, MJ's Moonwalk and some cartoons. The MJ documentary is one word: pastiche! :D but rather entertaining. (: just laid back and stare at sky and tree leaves going by for a while and came up with a random attempt of the previous post.

2. Love the weather, upon reaching there the first thought I had was actually remembering those rainy mugging days at those open spaces in school which were so comfortable. Ironic how I love the rain, yet when “I love the rain” comes to mind, I subconsciously complete it with “it hid my tears and shadowed my pain”. Not emo, merely one of my monologue lines from dep devised piece that stuck. If December is my favourite month, it would be because of the weather, not Christmas.

3. Indoor theme park! Shopping, bowling, manicure, arcade, more shopping. Didn’t buy much stuff, despite wanting to. First time in my life getting a manicure wor, although its nothing much and my nails are freaking short. Haha. Met two kids at the nails place, and coincidentally met them again the next day in the morning in the lift when we left the hotel and again in the lift at night when we came back to the hotel. They’re so cute! & we recognise each other by nails. Lol! Went for the 4D motion master ride and haunted house. Cool effects in the haunted house but being a ghost is way more fun! x)

4. Outdoor theme park on day 2! Child ticket for the win. Haha. Sat on spinner and cyclone and pirate ship with huimin & carrine while the guys were eating breakfast. Was pretty worried about the pirate ship because escape’s pirate ship was scary and genting’s one seem higher. Sat somewhere in the middle and it was still pretty scary, but not as scary as first experience at escape! Saw the guys queuing at pirate ship when we got off and hence got to cut queue and went on the ride again, this time sitting right at the edge! Was kind of freaking out but it turned out to be not scary at all as I was laughing too much at Eugene to feel anything! Yayy. Went to sit on the superman ride which went 360degrees and it was damn fun. Ate icecream, blew some money on throwing hoops and shooting bottles, the guys went archery, and then..dinner!

5. At some international buffet place which is HUGE. Western, Japanese (was so happy to see sashimi haha), local, nonya, desert! Really eat a lot, the guys especially. Day 2 morning went for breakfast buffet, every meal also eat a lot!

6. Sat the cable car and the guys throw stuff down from the window. -_- girls were in another car with the adults and I was so bored that I fell asleep, both on the way down and on the way up. Mushroom farm dinner on day 2, ordered tons of dishes again. There’s a huge dog, which I find rather charming. Haha and flexible too, it keeps going under the gate.

7. Ahma birthday on day 3. Girls went to buy cupcakes, to go with dim sum lunch. Deep down I still feel sad that ahgong is not around anymore. .bleh. day 3 was more shopping and waiting at starbucks for the bus, and I can’t seem to dissociate starbucks with mugging/laptop-ing anymore. :X back to the cool bus, and back to long long busrides, and back to Singapore.

outings

2009-07-23T13:42:00.000-07:00

Okay I shall finally blog. haha since FOC time passes SUPER FAST. Outings and more outings, every alternate day. hahaha

13july: Edwin's beertour with Aaron! Its quite interesting to see how the beer are brewed and packaged etc, managed to try all the different types of beer they had, earning a reputation of being alcoholic :X Heh they really do have the best tiger beer around and my favourite is the ginseng one which they say very few people like. (: the people working there are so funny, (who are now all our friends on fb. LOL) witnessed magic card tricks, flirting with Japanese housewives(who totally fell for Jo man), company function and birthday celebrations for Jan-July babies -.-, and egg with black beer tasted like white coffee. :X memorable day indeed.

15july: Scotto kbox with yanlan xinyi zuohan & syahidah. Fun cos we are all so high and crazyy singing/screaming the high songs. awesomeness. sang quite a variety of songs, the a*mei, the fahrenheit, even the zohanna song. videos/blackmail/entertainment material on fb. Then was dinner at fisherman wharf and lunar concert with xinyi jin kiahui & zijie! It was really concidental, met 2 girls (forgot their names) who happened to know kiahui and jin, and is my secondary one class counsellor! AMP & Faith Yang performed, they are quite good, and they sang songs very familiar from our kbox session eariler on! including woyaokuaile & renzhi which i really like! had beer+greentea which tastes like green tea and some lychee martinis. kiahui & I mananged to get 5 drinks coupons each but none of us are drinkers, so erm don't waste mah. :X

17july:Scotto first official og outing after foc! whee~ went sentosa and NUA. sat in the shade and nua. played truth or truth and GTKY jeffery and the guys went to get beer (scotto is so beer crazy man) and jeremy got quite "drunk" and had very interesting qns/comments during T or T. stunners all around, and then it was back to vivo for ben&jerry! before realising the coupon's not valid at vivo's. took the car and nua-ed more. Ended up at Cathay's ben&jerry and the icecream is damn good. $100 worth, ate quite a lot. heh. camhored. Went to Fish & Co for a while before meeting Aaron and heading to a warehouse at Qsquare by Marquis for an art exhibition entitled BLACKOUT. There's performances, art pieces, installations and interactive art-all with the theme of light and darkness. Its super duper cool, photos will be up soon.

19july-Scotto's alcoholic anonymous session at Brauhaus! had a beer which edwin ordered for me(as the entire menu is totally foreign)and a shot of butterscotch which is lovelovelove. Its just melts the heart~hahaha. There's lots of good food but the pork knuckle is definately the best. Quote from Timothy which says it all, "Crispy skin and buttery fat make the perfect pork knuckle. Top it off with dark wheat beer and you've come pretty close to gastronomic bliss." :D nuff said.

21july-Penne/Freni seniors outing to East Coast Park! It really feels great cos so many people came today! After one whole year we are still friends and still go for outings hahaha. Lunch at Macs and then to cycle! I was still scarred from the traumatising experience at Ubin years ago and struggled quite a while at the beginning but yayy managed to gain back confidence after a while. Although I still suck at controlling the bike and can't ride straight lah. Mini accident when I ran over evadne's havaianas. :X Cycling left me with butt pain and aching legs, and tan lines. rah i'm super unfit. but its funfunfunyay! We went to the arcade for a while before they went Liz's house and I had to leave. :( Lyrics class was interesting today, mu zi was a very captivating speaker but I couldnt help wondering what fun I was missing out. ohwells, it was a good day. more seniors outings please.

Bling-ed my phone!
I like the japanese feel of the back design, and the bunny reminds me of shancai's bunny in 流星花园.
<3 my phone now, although I do feel a little 爱慕虚荣 heehee :X

happy happy!
not sure why, looking at these photos just make me feel happy happy!
perhaps,
its the fun, its the joy.
its the sense of belonging, the comfortable feeling.
its innocent, its simple,
its hard to put into words.
its been a whole sem since-
i miss those days.
everyone's got their own lives
different specializations, different tracks, different schedules.

its funny,
how i wanted to blog abt the outing,
but didn't, because i didn't know how to.
how i look at the photos now at 6 in the morning,
and smile, and laugh, and just feel so happy.
how i decided to blog,
in this abandoned photoblog, afterall

happiness got to be expressed right? heh.

directions in life

2009-03-04T01:07:00.000-08:00

Theme: directions
up, down, left, right, in, out.
opposite directions, multi-directions.

Life is about directions.

We choose to go in and come out of different phrases of our lives.

Life journey is often full of ups and downs. (light & darkness)

Sometimes the decisions we make in life or circumstances we find ourselves in set us in the opposite direction against the norm.

Some directions may lead us to new places. Sometimes we have to venture into unknown grounds to try new things and gain new experiences in life.

There are different paths to take in life, some are easier than others, but ultimately we still reach the top.

Finally, when we are at 人生的十字路口, we have to make our own major life decisions.

时间是早上九点多。
日期是2009年2月26日。
地点是

旧了，快拆了。
一房半厅一水缸的感觉。
却有一种古老的美。
楼下，杂货店，诊所，便利店。。
关了，被锁了。

南~无阿弥陀~佛~
异口同声。

偏僻的后巷，
洒满一块一块的小拼图，
不知将拼出什么图案。
不知讲述些什么故事。
结局，
会完整吗？

空荡荡的垃圾巢，
塞满传单的信箱，
操作停止的电梯。

我们屋破进破屋，
我来了。
“好兄弟，对不起啦”

推开大门的那一刻，
仿佛在拍电影。设想，
自己是勇敢破案的警察,
双手紧握着枪，双眼四处盯望。
还是胆小无知的小孩，
不知门后究竟，藏着什么恶魔。

空荡荡的房间。
一个水瓶摆放在正中间。
一个可口可乐的汽水罐。
砸破了的窗，砸碎了的灯。
被踩灭了的烟头。

空气的声音。
刺耳的宁静。

一面镜子。
两个人。

skit^^

2009-02-16T03:17:00.001-08:00

woohoo 254 presentation's over, its entertaining & the audience like the skit! :D yayyee acting's fun. cute korean professor. har.....*pouts. kayejaye jumps off the building. super hilarous la. like when is the last time people do skit for class presentation, lower secondary? Skit at university level rocks! :D

Double exposure is damn fun! :D
I'm glad we're only allowed to borrow DSLR once a week, if not I won't be doing anything else whole week long!

Okies, now that presentation is over, I seriously have no mood to do any academic stuff already! wahahaha 254 quiz tml 就顺其自然吧！

Hall Prod

2009-02-08T14:39:00.000-08:00

254 project meeting in 4 hours time. If sleep now later sure cannot wake up, then surely get scolded. HAHA.

Ohyeshh I think I'm somewhat done with my six stills! :D It was unintentional, but the photos I took of chase was simply love. Camhoring with roomie & Mickeymouse gave me the inspiration for storyline and theme for the stills! :D

Helped roomie look through her com204 assignment. Looking back, I think I seriously prefer 204 to 205. Sigh, how can I have a love for acting and at the same time a phobia for public speaking? :X

Hall prod was good, and I'm proud to be part of it. Every production experience is always different.

From the hustle & bustle moving props backstage, to bumpy lorry rides, to camhoring in the wings, to kwey chup supper, to playing with lightsticks, to meeting new hall friends whom I never knew existed before--its been fun. (:

The show that everyone has worked for. It was much better than any any rehearsals. The actors gave it their all. The laptop smashed, the office has never been trashed so badly. Neither has the back alley & living room been so. From the wings, I could feel so much positive energy filling the whole theatre. That's what I love, the magic that never fails.

escapeeeee

2008-12-30T23:10:00.001-08:00

Before my 2008 entry, ESCAPE deserves an entry on its own. :)
After 7 years of Escape plans which seemed cursed to not come true, I finally went on my virgin Escape trip on 30th December 2008! :D

I'm very grateful- there's just so many reasons to not go: other plans, lack of sleep from previous night, idea of paying to scare yourself, possibility of self-maluation, & seeing each other too much in the holidays already. ;)ThksChihuaSinyuYeashiEvadneKaijie :D

Wheees my first ever escape ride is the water slide! The idea of a 15metre drop into the river wasn't very comforting, with my past experiences and fear of water, but the sound effects, entertainment and laughter takes away any scariness and makes it fun. (:

Then was the horror vikings ship! Looks are deceiving! how did the zen girl does it! -tries to find a pathetic excuse- we sat right at the end of the pirate ship! hahahaha damn shocking lah, everytime it seems to be at its peak it just goes even higher. Traumatic. Even Japan's Hollywood Dreams coaster I sat in Disneysea(what I consider the most thrilling ride in my life) is better than Singapore Escape Vikings. haha maybe its because its a first, or maybe I'm just not cut to become a pirate.

Choochoo train and Helicopter are amusing, Haunted House is disappointing, Orange Julius is nice and refreshing, the lie-on-front ride is windy, the drivecar one is interesting and fun, and my favourite is the SPACE one! THE SKY AND CLOUDS ARE OH SO PRETTY~ :D

yayyy happy happy that Escape dream finally come true! <3

15-16th December 2008. One of the happiest and most triangular moments of his life. (:

2008-12-10T09:51:00.001-08:00

Whees Supei is a happy girl today.

She finally found someone to watch Quarantine with! It was BK & Quarantine & Shopping with Seeeewahhh! (: Quarantine has an interesting narrative device! and its frightnightish horror.

Then it was back to hall and dropped by ISG too late to watch frisbee done with the match, but not too late for Mos dinner that extended to KFC and Macs, :P with Jin, Sinyu, Evadne, Kaijie & Chihua! Stayed at Macs for hours chatting about everything under the sun..(: yayness.

Anyway pictures!

Went Shodoku for dinner with SiewHong, Yanmin & BoYuan on Monday! which is kinda crazy cos we all stayed BP and went all the way to town just for dinner! It was great catching up and chilling with this group of childhood-neighbourhood friends after uh a whole year!

Went for some 10 course lunch at some coffee shop and then headed over to visit cookie! This is cookie! I so want a dog now! Or a rabbit also can.

Went playground to play with Huimin, Carrine & Spensor, and we went 7eleven to buy maple slurpee!

This is rrine and me with her piggy tutu! :D

It was to Causeway Point to watch Four Christmas with Christ, Minn & Rine! with nachos&cheese&popcorn! but..Four Christmas is PAINFUL to watch. Okay, its funny. But as I told Christ, its SO family friendly with all its descriptions of breastfeeding, acts of violence, and excess kissing scenes. -.-

This is Santa& Me at Gloria Jeans!

It was so random lah, cos it was raining, and we walked finish the whole of cine, so we went to sit down at the gloria jeans outside, without buying anything. So. Camwhore. starts. before the rain stops and she brings me on a tour in SMU haha!(:

hee i need to start making some sort of planner with all the stuff going on in december!

nice hk scenery

2008-12-08T00:30:00.000-08:00

It seems like I'm thinking a little bit too much
Here, sleepless in my room

I feel like I might as well take off into the night
A sigh falls next to the window

I slip out into the moon light, to somewhere far away
But I want to try and flap my wings
What should I do?

I want to fly well, I want to fly well
Though I don't know how to fly...
I want to fly well, I want to fly well
I wish someone would show me how

There are surely plenty of things that I don't yet know
And there's nothing but lies on TV

I can't do this kind of thing
When taking shelter from the rain
I'm soaking wet, but I don't care

I want to fly well, I want to fly well
In order to know how to fly...
I want to fly well, I want to fly well
I've got to get into the sky, to skyline

I can't wait for my chance
The same morning repeats over and over again
I wonder how many I've counted? I'm going to paint the skyline

I don't know how to fly, I'm not sure if I can fly
I want to fly well, I want to fly well
But, here I go

I want to fly well, I want to fly well
In order to know how to fly...
I want to fly well, I want to fly well
I've got to get into the sky, to skyline

(Lyrics added by James, I think they're beautiful.(: )

recess week

2008-10-02T11:22:00.000-07:00

RECESS WEEK!

19th:

The days' director and producer came to com253 lecture to talk to us about the film and filmmaking. Lide and I went out of the LT immediately after lecture in search for them and found them loading stuff into the car at the carpark. Went over and got for ourselves two posters each! (which are currently nicely decorating my hall room) 'Booked' for myself an interview for the next day as well! Wasted no time and caught The Days with parents at Jurong Point that very night. I feel that it's really good for a feature film debut, the story and characters are all very real and the essence of the 1989 era is captured well.

20th:

Watched Bangkok Dangerous and interview a cinema counter crew person for voxpop at Vivo GV. Headed to Dragonfly - St. James Power Station for The Days movie tea dance party! Hidden motive: to interview director Boi Kwong for com204 assignment but nevertheless Aaron and I had a great time there simply chilling and listening to music by Blackforest band. Happy that Boi remembers my name!

21st:

Northpoint with Jin to support Jingting for radio100.3 DJ hunt semifinals.

Its been a long time since I attended such 'roadshows' events in those 追星days. I enjoyed myself that day--some of the contestants were highly entertaining. and of course there was the free Boss coffee. haha! Headed to Cafe Galilee @Woodlands to complete my 204assignment. Mr Manager Ivan remembers me as an old customer who like to play with him. Despite the fact that the last time I visited was 9 months ago!

22nd:

Watched Paparazzi rehearsals for the first time! Went JP to shop for D&D clothes, but to no avail. Not surprising. Susposed to meet some people at Cine, but kenna pangseh! Felt so cheated lahs, cos of travelling time and everything. Jap Omelette Pasta dinner with Xy was good though. Was in a very bad mood when I reached home cos I didn't manage to do any schoolwork for the whole day! :X

23rd:

Headache, diarhea and was feeling sick. Went Clark Quay to meet Penne people for dinner but I didnt manage to eat anything. I rmb Walter saying, "Its okay to say you're not okay you know". haha the way he says it very funny. Walked to the Butter Factory, the venue for D&D and I was so emo-ing away lah. Its the area the held so much memories. 2 years. The area at the back of SRT. The same bridge. The same alleys and lanes. The same night sky. The same atmosphere.. We were there early and managed to get one of the best sofa seats.

Camhoring, watching pageant show,

eating cupcakes, drinking, dancing.

Friends advised me not to take alcohol, I had beer and vodka lime. Felt much better than I ever since morning. haha, I swear alcohol has curing purposes.

24th:

(continue from D&D)

Liang Court Macs to chill and eat hot fudge sundae! Decided to go for kbox because we did not want to cab back home, managed to flag down a seven seater

(which is super cool, my first time sitting in a seven seater cab!) to Cine, and the cab fee only costs $5+ in total!

K-ed all the way for 4 hours until 630am, when we all kind of died. It was really fun with all the Sinyu's old school songs, Weiliang's emo-drama-imitation songs, Walter's amazing boundless energy throughout, Yeashi's touching English songs and my Isingwhatotherpeoplechoose songs.

Cant wait to go kbox again, hee. 190 back home and was in a surreal mood on the long walk back from busstop. Randomly took some photos which turned out good cos I feel that it captured the early morning atmosphere! (: Collapse on bed and woke up at 430pm.

25th:

Paparazzi full day rehearsal. Morning to night. CI club room to Nanyang House to Alliance Française de Singapour @Newton.

26th:

Shopping for Aaron's birthday present and making card. Watched movie Painted Skin at Lot1 for chronicle Nanyuan review. Its good! Its 5%horror, 10%action and 85%romance! :D

27th:

Aaron's birthday. I remember lots of time spent on travelling without having a destination in mind. Ended up in BoonLay, Vivo and Clark Quay. Awfully Chocolate has absolutely awesome and affordable chocolate icecream! Tcc for coffee, the most fancy and high class restuarant I've been to in my life for birthday dinner with his parents. Lots of phototakings and competition in phototakings with his new camera. Haha, the birthday dinner deserve another entry.

28th:

Paparazzi Production. Majority of the time I was stressing over 203quiz and being anti-social. :X The usual theatre things-runs and techruns and scene changes and light changes and markings and waiting in wings and showtime and postshow mingle and debrief and blahblah. The shows are good, Pamy's emotions are powerful at the end. The Blues (the live band) are wonderful and its a pretty amazing experience. Thanks Penne for coming

and for the uber cute and piggilicious candy!

One little piggy escaped. heh can u find it? ;)

Almost break down after the evening show, a theatre production on its own is alread always physically and emotionally draining. Exhaustion plus a back-to-reality 203quiztostudyfor really does it. Thanks Amos for making PR sound so straight forward and easy at that point of time. 不然真的会崩溃。Hais, sometimes I wonder, its just 10% of the grade. Why am I so extreme. :( Also dont know how I manage to fall asleep on the bumpy lorry ride back to school. ahwells.

Thats 10 days of 'recess week'! Friday to Sunday.

roses are red

2008-09-10T11:31:00.000-07:00

Supei is a lucky girl.

so 幸福 right. (:

HAHA.

(got the rose from some random lucky draw outside CanA la.)

Carried it around cos I didnt want to squash the beautiful rose.

attracting some uncalled for attention in com253 and 204.

I think its uber romantic and sweet to give a girl a rose for no reason at all on no occasion.

offered it to guyfrens to give gfs, all dont want, say what it would be weird..

whats wrong with them man~ haha

Wanted to give the rose to so many people..

Roomie, Shihui&Feng who are both sick that day, anyone who's sad.

love making people smile. (:

tempted to keep it for myself so much too.

ended up going straight home ytd and hence it was a surprise gift for my mum when she opens the door. (:

Suddenly I can't wait for Valentines. :D

(photos are taken in com204 lecture, explaining the laptop background, also explaining how bored I was, or maybe..how obsessed I was..)

YuHsien & Me (designer & volunteer)
@Festive Maze, outside Raffles City (:

Im feeling so HIGH! Today has been a great day, and a great end to the tiring week!

Went for Art Fest shift as usual in the afternoon, had bubbletea and cheesy curry chicken for lunch. (: Met Wanting at 530 and convinced her to sign up for the Festival Maze! Today is the first session and we have lack of participants! So so we signed up for both the solo race and the pair race! Met Xinying there! My sec1,2 classmate. (: She's the organising Openmike and working for NAC now. Anyways. Went to eat dinner, Soup Spoon with santa before the maze! I had thick and yummy clam chowder. Hehh

So we went back for the race at 630! and there's only another couple that signd up. So theres only 4 of us. haha, for the solo race we're susposed to go through the maze and take the cards that matched the cards we were given. Santa got first for that one! and the next race they held couldn't break her time record so she was the night winner and won $100 shopping voucher! cool huh. hahaha~ for the pair race I was blindfolded and she's susposed to guide me through the maze by giving directions. I basically just chiong through la~ haha cos I've been playing with the maze for a week and is very comfortable with it, hehe and we won for that one too, came in in 27 seconds. But there wasn't enough people for the next race so they told us they will call us if we beat the people from tml's session. I want the shopping voucher!

Went for Dance after that, or intending to. But somehow we were a little late and not fated, cos a traffic light wasnt functioning and we couldnt cross the road. -.- LOL. went back to Raffles City to collect the prize for the solo race and and and I MET YU HSIEN. =D He's the designer of the festive maze btw. Met another girl who's going NTU(my batch) and a really friendly girl who's J1 dep this year(: (ohno i cant rmb their names :( )

Stayed and watch the openmike performances, and when everything was over UCN treated starbucks! Thanks! =D Haha he's so funny la~ parked his bike outside Cafe Cartel. Chatted about everything under the sun~ His job, artfest, old time memories of Tempest, B&B, Westside, random shows and productions, army, random people, and he keep saying he's feeling old. haha!

Yupps, really had a great time catching up with this super nice setdesign teacher/friend who made me smile when I was down, impacted my JC life, and left me with wonderful memories.

This is the first time Im feeling so happy this week! haha the exhaustion and tiredness build up from monday to thursday is all gone, and Im feeling super high and happy now. =D

We begin to die with our first breath. Death is inside us, ticking closer, closer, with every beat of our heart. It is the end no man can escape. Yet we cling on to life, we worship it despite its transience. Or perhaps, because of it. But all the while, we wonder of death. We build monuments to it, revere it with our rituals. What will our death be? we ask ourselves. Will it be sudden and swift, long and lingering? Will there be pain? Will it come after a long, full life, or will we be cut off-violently, inexplicably- in our prime? When is our time? For death is for all time. We create an afterlife because we cannot rush through our days chased by the specter of an end. We make gods who guide us, who will greet us at golden gates to lead us into an eternal land of milk and honey. We are children, bound hand and foot by the chains of good with its eternal reward, and evil with its eternal punishment. And so, most never truly live, not freely. I have studied life and death. There is only one purpose. To live. To live free. To become. To know, with every breath, you are more than the shadows. You are the light, and the light must be fed, absorbed from any and all sources. Then, the end is not death. in the end we become the light. They will say I am mad, but I have found sanity. I have found Truth and Salvation. When I have become what I am, what I do, what I have created will be magnificent. And we will all live forever.
