X marks the spot

I can't wait to see 'KylieX2008' this November in the land of the merlion!
Lots of arrangements have to be made... From getting the concert tickets, to making hotel bookings and also getting bus tickets. I've to make most of the decisions on my own, so lots and lots of planning is needed, i've to study maps and get lots of info... But its darn exciting, and i'm just whole heartedly thrilled with the prospect that i'm going to a Kylie Minogue show!

If ur bored this holiday, why not watch some cool performances from the tour!

Japanese themed 'Come Into My World'


80's disco inspired 'Step Back In Time'


One of my fav track from X - 'The One'


All time fav - 'Your Disco Needs You' (love the Opera notes at the end!)

Raya break

yay more holidays!
this week i plan to think happy, do happy things and just be happy.

Year end exams just a month away, but i don't really feel the pressure.
Just as my sisters say, i'm having the easiest time compared to all of them..
They're all occupied with work and responsibilities, in comparison my schedule is so much more relaxed.

I've been thinking a lot lately.. not serious stuff but more like wishful thinking...
I hate myself for being like that...
I'm aware that I should be realistic but yet my mind still wants to dwell in fantasies...
I guess I've too much free time haha. Should focus on happier things..

Anyway enjoy ur holidays everyone
and Selamat Hari Raya to those who are celebrating! =)

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG!!!

I can't believe it! I went to Kylie's website and there was a news that she IS coming to Singapore on November 25th! OMG!!! MY WISH CAME TRUE!!!

I tot she would only be stopping by at Hong Kong and I was so disappointed but now, THERE IS HOPE!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD for answering my prayers!

OMG OMG OMG...... I'm so bloody happy right now words can't describe how i feel...

This is Kylie's first time in S'pore and probably the only time i get to see her in flesh and bone!!!

The moment i saw that article I literally jumped into the air and was screaming in delight!!!

I still can't believe it...

OK.......... got to stay calm.... OK! NOW I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON THOSE TICKETS!!!

Tickets go on sale from 3rd October, and i am going to see 'KYLIEX2008' no matter what!

I MUST get a ticket!

Anyone interested in going to see the concert with me?

stomach talk

helo. i'm blogging from college... now this is a first...

have a long break on Thursdays, from 9.45 to 1.30....
I know I arranged my timetable badly, but what's done is done.

omg... i'm so bored now... been surfing the net since this morning... And the computers here damn cacat... slow and a lot of applications also cannot use... like i wanted to go Yahoo and play online games, but it won't load...

Another problem I discovered i'm suffering from since entering college is that i'm always hungry...This is so scary and annoying, its like my stomach has a mind of its own...

I eat breakfast every morning b4 coming, but by 11am i start to feel the hunger pangs... The worst thing is my stomach likes to be vocal when empty... (if u know what i mean =P)
this is so embarrassing lah, esp. in class when it is so quiet.... I wonder if ppl actually hear it. *swt*

Usually i grab a muesli bar or something to munch in between classes.. But now its the puasa month, so i feel its rude to be eating in class...

But this is not the issue. I'm not suppose to succumb to my stomach just becoz it wants me to eat. I feel like i have a disobedient stomach and this is only my fault..
I remember back in CHS i never had this sort of problem. I had breakfast even earlier than I do now and I could last till i went home for lunch around 1.30....
Nowadays, i eat lunch around 12.15. And i get hungry again b4 dinner...

I think this problem is related to my many months of poor eating habits during the holidays.. During that time, I would always be eating... Even when i wasn't hungry, i would fill myself up with tit bits for fun.

As a result, now i'm constantly hungry, but each time i have a meal i can't take much...

A few days ago, I tried to RETRAIN my stomach... I deliberately delayed my lunch time, ignoring the 'sounds'... But that plan backfired as later in the day i felt pretty sick...

OK, so now i've pretty much no choice but to EAT... at least i'm not getting fat... i never will. my body is just like that... My main concern isn't the 'fat' factor, but more of the 'its so troublesome' factor... U know, food may not always be available when i'm travelling or attending a lecture...

Err.... so geram... but i won't give up trying to get rid of this bad habit.

test test test

I've probably said this a million times.. Yup, there's a test or assessment every week, and tomoro happens to be my 3rd Maths test..

The topic is calculus (gulp)... Differentiation & Integration. Some ppl say this topic is easier than sketching graphs or doing functions... But i beg to differ...
Seem to be struggling more than i have before..
And the worst thing? I've completely zero desire to revise now.
The only thing i feel like doing is nothing...

Solving math questions brings me back to the S5 days, there were so many ppl in the class i could always ask when i'm stuck somewhere...
I really do feel lucky to be part of S5... Its something special that no one can take away...

Things are different in MUFY now.. I think i've become more independent... I rely on myself more... Thank god i've been able to cope with Mufy maths on my own..

On a higher note, i got back some positive results from previous assessments...
English seems to like me (fingers crossed), i'm happy with my oral & essay score..
Bio is not too bad... 30 something out of 40... what more can i ask for?
I've been consistent for Maths, even getting 100 once...
The only thing i'm afraid of is Chemistry... going downhill... better work on it b4 i crash n burn...

.............................
.................................
OMG i just realised i've been blogging about exams n results this whole while as though i'm some kind of obsessed psycho with no life...
I'm not like that! OK, better stop.... =X

Man do i need a life!

Please Come

I want to see the show real badly.
All I can do now is hope...

This is the clearest footage of 'KylieX2008' i can get from youtube.
Hopefully i will get to see this live!

A new song 'Flower'... Kylie only appears at minute 1:29
This is such a great song =)

just an update

helo... I love weekends coz can sleep till betul cukup cukup only wake up...
BUT today i was dragged out of bed to go play tennis at 7.15am...

I KNOW! It's like are you $*%#&+$ kidding me rite...
Tell me about it...

OK, OK i'm not complaining... I don't regret it...
Today actually marks the day of my first time driving alone!
Yeah, I actually managed to reverse the car out of the house without hitting anything, and I made a successful trip and came home without a single scratch on the car!
(applause please)

i know it's no big deal, but in my case, my parents have been so strict they hardly ever considered the thought of letting me drive on my own... So this day is definitely going into the history books...

There was such a strong sense of independence when i was on the roads by myself,
like a bird spreading its wing and taking flight out of the cage, with permission from the cage owner.. F.Y.I the bird did not crack the lock of the cage, the door was OPENED for it...
I would never sneak out of the house with a car.. I got permission ok=)
(hmm.... ignore the bird line its lame)

OH... here's the 2nd news.
A couple of weeks ago Kylie announced on her website that she was bringing her KYLIEX2008 tour to South America and Australia & New Zealand...

Then it was reported that she will be paid 4 million US dolars to play a show in Dubai for the opening of the luxurious hotel that was built on the man made island with the Palm shape...

Yeah, then today it was stated on her website that she was going to Hong Kong as well.

I'm so upset becoz the closest venue would be the Hong Kong one, but it's still quite far from home... The show is in end November... If only she brought her show to Singapore as well (M'sia sure no chance, Avril concert also got so many problems, Kylie u think got chance?)

If she would come to Singapore, I'm there... I swear.
All I can do now is pray... Kylie pls come to Singapore... Please!!! I'm begging you!!!
I'm so desperate...

pAtHoLogY

It's pathology, not pak-toh-logy haha..

went to watch a movie last night with the same title...

the guy from Heroes is the lead actor.

it's an interesting show... i can now conclude that thriller/horror movies are my thing.

'Pathology' is NOT a ghost show, instead it's like a darker version of C.S.I.

To sum it up, this show is about killing without guilt, and also sex.. lots of it...

due to the nature of this show, many scenes were censored (boo hoo)

the plot is interesting, u really wouldn't know what to expect, BUT i feel it's too short.

About an hour and a half... probably due to all the cut scenes which the M'sian censorship board decided to take out...

This movie is refreshing actually, not something that comes by everyday.

notes from my past (literally)

helo. today is a P.H. so i'm really free... no homework to do, no tests to study for...
i got so bored i decided to clean my room (yes, i admit i'm slightly obsessive)

wow, u wouldn't believe how messy my room is...
i mean on the outside everything looks neat, but inside the cupboards & shelfs i've got so much junk, even the notes and files from my SPM days!

then i stumbled upon something which i forgot of its existence... it was a book which i compiled all my writings (poems to be exact) over the period of 2004-2006. i went through it and it reli brought back lots of memories...

i thought it would be appropriate to share some of it with u.
as u can see, the quality of my work improved over time =)


Friendship is... (undated, year 2004)

Two or more people,
that help each other when they're in trouble.

Spending time together,
Sharing secrets with each other.

Always willing to lend your hand,
Wear the same clothes that are the same brand.

Lending him something when he needs it,
Play with his puppy and help feed it.

Always be there when he is sad or happy,
A long lasting relationship that cannot be bought by money.

UP'S N' DOWN'S OF LIFE 2006 (written 14/3/2006)

Where do I begin?
So much has happened,
So much has gone,
So many different feelings to express into ONE.

In short,
Life is always challenging,
Although sometimes I feel
like its nothing.
This year I see change,
Everyone is different in some way.
Change may be good,
A doorway to new happenings,
But sometimes I fear,
Fear that it will never be the same again.
I miss and cherish the old times,
But I also look forward to a better day.

Sometimes life is just oh-so frustrating,
We feel pressured in so many ways,
Tears shed down like a river
down our face,
Just feeling under the drain.
But now you look back and see,
The so called obstacles we once faced,
are but the size of a pea.
Remember that the problems we meet
Are just like the ones
We had beat.
Be strong and you will not drift away.

At times we get lost,
Confused by our sight and thoughts,
Just don't know what to do,
Sit there feeling so so blue.
Don't worry,
let your experience guide you,
Daring to try new things,
Making mistakes isn't a big thing,
Just as long as you gain something,
In the pathway of learning.
Put all your past experiences
into a ball of powerful forces.

Learn as you go,
Don't give up and say no,
Handling life just like a pro.
___________________________________________________

OK, this next one is a little DARK...about the other side of mankind...
but i'm over that phase now...this piece is reli good... i write best when i'm frustrated or upset!

THE TRUTH THROUGH MY EYES (written 13/11/2006)

What's inside a human is full of emptiness,
What you see outside is nothing but a show of pretentious.
A living soap acted by the utmost talent,
Talent which often is shifted and twisted.
Why do we do the things we do,
Put up with the trash that we all litter.
Somehow everyone does the same,
Playing over and over this ridiculous game,
Perhaps wanting to make something out of their names.

Stars collide with one another,
The same goes for human conflict and disaster,
Stirring up the flame within,
Extinguish it before it leaves a stain.
Joy and sadness, playtime and sickness,
Are all together put in a frame.
Wear a crown, eat food picked from the ground,
And not even make a single sound.
Envies and pities, sympathy and jealousy,
All point to nothing but fakeness.

Be hardworking or live like a king,
What's the point of doing so.
Be sarcastic, do things ironic,
Trying to be someone drastic or classic.
Tell a joke, try not to choke,
You call it humour, I call it a sharp poke.
Determination overshadowed by criticism,
Bring on the hatred, do something wicked,
Get caught for being mindless.
Show your true colours,
No need to hide those feathers,
Loose yourself and bite on those doubters.
Be a fighter, strut your glitter,
Exhibit the qualities of a sole survivor.

Act like a monkey, dance with a donkey,
Make a fool of yourself in those poc-a-dot panties.
Always a loser, runner up to the winner,
Just lacking that you know what X factor.
Dreamers will remain as dreamers dream,
Seekers end up with a few broken splints,
Sit back and enjoy this exciting scene.

Superstars call it smoke and mirrors,
Commoners watch fascinated in amazement it seems.
Is this silliness or a lack of wisdom?
Grumpy widows high up in the hill,
Laughing children playing like Jack & Jill,
Will all fade away not now but soon.
Gather round, whisper in soft sounds,
The odd one out is the joke of the town.
Love someone, as warm as it sounds,
Divorce comes knocking on the marriage door.

Come to an agreement,
Break it off the very next moment,
Hey, who still holds on to their word.
Greed and pride, deadly sins alike,
Make this world a whole lot darker.
Believe in this, forget about that,
We all share a world of denial.
The reign of terror,
The human world is a horror,
So why do we even bother?
Nevertheless, there's no need to be scared,
Because you and I all contribute to this fest.
________________________________________________

Oh i also wrote one really personal piece in 2007 and i feel that was my skills at its very best. So far only one person (who was special at that time) in this world has seen it, and i don't intend to let anyone else have a peek.
Now i feel inspired to write again... Will let u know if something good comes around =)

In Pictures: bbq at chai yee's place

my phone's camera not that sharp so the pics captured in low light conditions don't look good...

will try to get pics from Man Hoe's camera... mean time, here's what i took:

someone said we r not supposed to take pictures of the moon, but i took it anyway =P

lagoon + bbq

wow yesterday was great... i foresee this will be a long post coz i've so much to talk about haha...

had a blast at Sunway Lagoon with Yee Thong, Yu Xuan, Lok Mun & Zi Yang.
just 5 of us but it was fun...
We went early so we didn't have to wait in lines, it was like our personal theme park! the last time i went to the lagoon was probably 10 years ago (seriously).
before this i was quite sceptical... i tot it would be boring & lame, but the rides at the dry park were exciting and the wet park was... well, wet! went to the surf beach, it was huge, but not very happening...

my favourite part was sliding down the tubes on the floats... one time the float that i was on with Yu Xuan overturned when we reached the end, and we were completely submerged underwater.. so cool!

got totally drenched, water stuck in my ear, sun burn, but it was worth it! couldn't take pics coz Zi Yang's camera got damaged by the water... hope it can be fixed...

after lunch, we went to lepak at Yee Thong's house for a bit then we went to Chai Yee's for BBQ.. many came, about 15-16 i think... even Boon Kiat n Jamie were there... nice to see them after such a long while...

Chai Yee's bungalow was spacious... we also went to harass her dog Happy...
the food was good, a lot of excess mee hoon and chicken wings... in the end we played 'chor dai dee'... the loser had to eat... but here's a secret: i didn't exactly eat the amount that i was supposed to =P

since it was like a mid Autumn festival themed bbq, we all took lanterns and circled the streets of the neighbourhood around 11pm... i hope we didn't creep her neighbours out haha...
Man Hoe even made mooncake... it was like jelly mooncake and it tasted great...

left Chai Yee's place around midnight... it's cool to see so many of us r driving now... like we don't need parents to pick us up now and can lepak till later...
tumpang-ed Yu Xuan's car home... he's a good driver, sending me from PJ>Sunway>Puchong>Bukit Jalil>PJ.... thanks Yu Xuan! when i reached home everyone was asleep alredi so i sneaked into my room n that concludes my day =)

will post pics after this..

day of strange-ness

ok, i don't know how to describe this day... seriously, i have never encountered such a day in college before...

basically 2 separate main incidents happened...there were also some minor things that took place... All of these things r NOT related to each other, but the fact that they all happened today made my Thurday very........................... interesting...

i can't tell u the exact details becoz i have this strange feeling that ppl from college know about my blog...

One of it was something happened during my lunch break which i thought was just strange...
later i realised that i should have responded differently... so i'm knocking myself in the head now... so stupid...

the 2nd thing happened later in the day, which was actually pleasant... Yes, u heard me... i said pleasant... it just made me feel somewhat better...

oh, today i also went to see this exhibition on tarantulas at the Bio lab.... lots of big spiders on display... reli cool...

Overall, today is a very interesting day.. Not in a bad way, but also not exactly good...
Like i said, its just STRANGE... gtg do work now... tomoro assessment AGAIN... =(

Past Champions Stage Comeback

ok, i'm sick of talking about my life- so let's focus on the lives of amazing champions...

The final grand slam of 2008 concluded last weekend
And if u read the newspaper u would know who won...
Red seems to be the lucky colour of the tournament...



Roger Federer picked up his 5th U.S Open title by beating Andy Murray of Britain... (shien yin must be cheering now)
My pick Nadal lost in the semis to Murray...
But Nadal is the man, he's still the best!!! (Go lefties, go! I know i'm so bias rite =P)

This year hasn't been great for Federer... He did reached the semis of the Australian, and the finals of the French & Wimbledon, but for his standards, this isn't good enough...

But somehow this makes men's tennis more interesting... I mean it is less predictable now... It seems like all the top players have a chance of winning as compared to the previous 'Federer or Nadal only' option....

On the women's side, Serena Williams achieved greatness by winning her 9th career grand slam, which is also her 3rd U.S. Open title.... By winning this title, she reclaims the spot of World No.1, many years after her dominance of tennis earlier in the decade...

She seems to be in great form right now, if she stays injury free, i think she will remain as world no.1 for quite a while... after all, with the absence of Justine Henin, the inconsistency of Ana Ivanovic, and the injury plagued Maria Sharapova, Serena doesn't really hav a threat... the closest challenge would probably come from her sister Venus...

Tennis is getting quite exciting now.... Now that the U.S hardcourt season is over, the indoor carpet season should begin soon...=)

me no smiley

haven't been like my positive happy self lately...
guess my new found happiness was short lived...

just when i managed to let go of something that's bugging me,
i dig another hole and fall right into it.
i can't believe myself...
It's no one's fault BUT mine...

Sometimes i have no clue what life is about...
Sometimes i hallucinate and my mind just thinks what i want to think...
But it won't take long before reality kicks in and gives me a good smack in the head...

I don't know. I don't care. Forget it.
I just wanna have fun!
what happened to the fun in my life?

Got gathering this Sat with pbsm gang.
Just wanna fast forward to that day! =)

NO!!!

the moment i woke up this morning, i felt a strange pulling sensation on my right calf...

a few seconds later, it turned into a cramp that left me screaming in pain...

when it finally stopped, i realised that it still hurt whenever i moved my leg...

uh oh....... i know what this is...

judging from my experience as a first aider, i knew this would take time to heal.

my immediate reaction was to look for pain relief spray...

then i found a roller bandage, excellent!

strapped myself nice & tight to help ease the pain...

at times like this, i feel proud that i know first aid...

when i get hurt, i don't need to be saved. i rescue myself.

THAT's why i think it is important for every family to have at least one member that has received exposure to first aid...

ALSO, is your home equipped with a first aid kid???

If u don't have it, i strongly recommend that u get one soon.

Just as the Malay saying goes, "Malang tidak berbau". It's better safe than sorry...

I'm upset... supposed to go play tennis today...

The only thing i can do now is to be professional about it and be patient...

No point trying to play when i know i can't give a 100%.

Will focus on nursing this leg so that i can play soon...

It looks well wrapped rite? Of course! I've got decent skills... =P

more ART

In conjunction with my 100th post celebration (haha), i made more art!

yes i know i'm wasting time, but i must admit i'm quite the artist!

ok ok.... ur probably choking or coughing now...

but i still think it's cool abstract art! I even named every single piece...

Porto

Spheval

Overload in Space

Do u like it? =P

100!!!

i can't believe it but i have reached the hundred mark...
when i first started this blog, i never expected that it would last this long...

but i've truly enjoyed this experience...
if u have visited this blog at least once, thank you!

i think 'what's next' will be around for some time..
My posts are random, and sometimes even meaningless...
But the main reason i want to keep a blog
is just to keep a journal to record down the happenings in my life,
so that someday i can look back and at least have an idea of what my life was like at that time...
And it is a bonus to share it with u guys =)

Here's another fantastic Kylie performance, 'Dreams'

Tung Tung To Taiwan

yesterday the pbsm gang went to MV...

it was a farewell gathering for tung tung,
she's leaving for Taiwan today...

it seems like so many ppl r going overseas to study...
i reli have to praise u guys for being so independent & brave!

tung tung take care,
Have a wonderful time in Taiwan! =)

things heat up at flushing meadows

wow... i feel so relieved right now...

had maths test on Monday & just did my oral presentation today...

came home early to sleep becoz i spent so many hours preparing 4 the presentation last night... talk about last minute work haha...

BUT there is still a Chemistry test this Friday... Life is so tiring now - every week there is either a test or some kind of assessment...

I managed to watch some tennis this week, and there has been a lot of exciting matches!

Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva will face each other in the semis, while the other two spots will be contested today...

the two remaining quarter final matches are:
Serena vs. Venus - A MUST WATCH!
Dinara Safina vs. Flavia Pennetta

As for the men's draw, the quarter final line up is:
Rafael Nadal vs. Mardy Fish
Juan Martin Del Potro vs. Andy Murray
Andy Roddick vs. Novak Djokovic
Gilles Muller vs. Roger Federer

My pick is still Nadal, but i noticed Federer is in good form as well...
As for Djokovic, he seems to be tired...

All matches from now will be absolutely exciting, so don't miss the action on Astro's channel 816!
