POSEIDON ROCKS! Gosh, finally a movie that touched me to the extent that I teared. Its a must-see! I just can't stop thinking about the movie.. right Wendy? LOL. How the father sacrificed his life for the survivors, the horrible death of the guy; it really gets you thinking about life, how life is simply survival of the fittest, and how love is so unconditional and sacrificial. Couldn't help but cry when the father drowned while trying to reverse the suction of the propellers to save the others. Its just so freaking touching. Omg, the movie is worth more than the 6 bucks it cost us to watch.
After that we went shopping so many places, far east.. bugis street and went to our favourite haunt - esplanade! Finally got my birks! And we got shades tgt too, heh. Been a long long long time since we met and hung out at these places. :) Just loved the chatting and catching up.. Its sad that now we can't meet up often anymore because of clashing schedules. Rah. Nvm, perhaps next Tuesday dinner study and supper with Lydia? Can't wait. I mean, this is what holidays are for, right?
Alright, tomorrow's a pretty long day with Interact OCIP meeting and choir concert after that. :) Gotta get my sleeeep.
:) Fever's almost gone! And the June holidays are here.. FINALLY! Was browsing through YouTube and these three videos are my most favourite performances on American Idol. Enjoy! ;)
Taylor Hicks - You Are So Beautiful
Taylor Hicks - In The Ghetto
Elliot Yamin - Moody's Mood For Love
Oh well, what's done is done. I can't turn back time or change anything. Just gotta focus on the next two papers after the holidays? Chemistry and Bio.. Urgh my worst subjects. But we can do it, we can! Persevere on..
Anyway, here's the link to the infamous Singapore Idol's Nong Nong Ago. Hilarious!
Today has got to be one of the worst days of my life. Of all days to fall sick, I had to be down with a high fever on the day of my GP and Maths CTs. I worked so hard for nothing. Sigh. I don't think they'll allow me to retake, just give me a big fat zero or exempted. I didn't ask to be sick, I even seldom get high fevers! :(
I was so shocked this morning when I measured my temperature at 39.1 deg. Was feeling damn giddy, couldn't sleep the previous night too. Couldn't get out of bed. Urghhh. Just thinking about missing the tests is making me pissed. At least now my temperature's down to 38.6. It keeps rising and falling and rising again. But I can at least get out of bed and blog.
Ahhhh, I'm v sad now. But thank God for my mom.. taking care of me and all. She's the bestt. Everything happens for a reason, I wonder what reason has got to do with this? urgh.
Today was self-proclaimed study break! LOL. And tomorrow's the real one. Anyway, maths is slowly driving me insane. And I can't stop sneezing. I don't know why but I always fall sick at the wrong time: during holidays. Urgh! I guess its the accumulated dust at home. I just love staying at home though. I can play my organ, slack, watch TV, eat and eat and eat... amongst revising for Friday's CTs of course (ack!). But its seldom you can just rot at home right? Ah.. the simple pleasures of life.
Mas, Que Nada. Tough song to play. But I love how it takes my mind off other stuff (like Maths and GP -.-) while I try to figure out the chords and trying to pace with the speed of the backgrd music.. If you would like to hear the original song you can listen here.
Alright, just watching Da Chang Jing can make my blood boil. How can some people be so freaking cruel?! Sometimes I can't bear to watch. But knowing the ending makes it a little more bearable.
Taylor was Taylorrific today! He's gonna be American Idol! WHOO!
So You Think You Can Dance was amazing tonight. I absolutely dig the last performance from Destini and Jamile. You can watch it here, though the screen's a little small.
Will be skipping a grade to grade 6 for organ. :) The new songs seem really interesting; can't wait to master them. But now my fees are more expensive. Oh well. And I have a friggin pimple on my nose. I HATE PIMPLES. (ok, who doesn't) But still, on my nose of all places! Rah.
The NUS business school advertisements are darn funny, they're so fake! What cute guys? =x Alright, today is Monday. Urgh. Start of a long, long week. :( Can't wait for the June holidays to come!
My heart's already numb.
I know it's a little late but, I'm still sad that Elliot is out of American Idol! :( He's such a great singer, and has one of the best personality. Oh well, such a pity but he'll do well out of AI too. Hope he makes an album soon!
Nothing much this week, just that Tuesday's friendly with CJ was screwed up because of the weapons. Loaded the pistol but when fired, nothing came out. :/ For 4 times! Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the experience.
Saw something that I was not meant to see. And then I died a little inside. But life goes on I guess.
Yue Ding by Guang Liang keeps repeating in my head. Rah, I'm addicted to the song.
Maths and GP common tests coming up! And I'm still slacking. -.- Urghh. I just don't have the mood to mug. Maybe later at night. Thank goodness Thursday's study break.
Had the most hilarious baking experience today. Decided to bake a cake for my mother for Mother's Day with the help of... my mother. I can't bake for nuts, especially on my own. Anyway, we decided to use the super antique mixer that my parents bought like 10 years ago? So, we were whisking the egg whites in it, and the motor was making a funny noise; but we thought it was just because the egg whites were getting thicker. But once we turned away from it, I heard a sizzling sound and when I rushed to switch it off, BOOM it exploded and stopped. So drama, with smoke and all. -.- Luckily the egg whites were almost whisked finish already. It's time to get a new mixer.
Anyway glad to say that the cake was successful!! Hahahaha. -.- At least my mom said it was nice. :D Tasted alot like brownie. But burnt my finger, so now there's a blister. Ow.
Hmm. Still can't get over the fact that Chris is out of AI! :( The show's not the same anymore without him. But heard that Fuel offered him a contract already, and I guess he's better off a rock star than American Idol. Elliot and Taylor for top 2! Starting to like and respect Elliot more and more. He's 90% deaf in one ear and yet he sings absolutely everything in tune! And he's just uber sweet to his mom. :) He has come a long way.
Ok, the Jacky variety show is so freaking funny now. Goodness. It's the one showing pretty girls who have really high and act-cute voices. -.- But the 3rd girl really cracked me up. She's sooooo cute!
And I just love this song.
I tried to be perfect, but nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me
I meant all the things that I said.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own.
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me,
But it's the only thing that I have.
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own.
Sum 41 - Pieces
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I happen to see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And I would walk on water
You will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
You know everything is alright
This is a link to SYTYCD's Nick Lazzarini's solo :) He's AWESOME!
:) Today's American Idol on Elvis was amazing. There were many great performances! Elliot was phenomenal, loved both of his songs. Taylor's In The Ghetto was really touching, and I enjoyed Chris' A Little Less Conversation. I guess Katherine's gotta go; though she's a really good singer. All of them are wonderful; pity only one can be American Idol. But all of them'll still make records no matter what the outcome.
Watched Mission Impossible 3 at PS yesterday evening with Lydia. It's really really good. Tom Cruise is still as hot! Its been some time since I watched a commendable movie. I give it 4 popcorns out of 5! J.J. Abrams is one great director; there was tension and action throughout the movie, I loved it! And there are so many good movies coming up: Pirates of Caribbean 2, Poseidon, Da Vinci Code (maybe), X-Men 3; and Scary Movie 4 looks super lame and hilarious.
Had 2.4km run today, and managed to get a B! But gonna get a silver because of SBJ and S&R. However I'm happy enough with a silver. :) Being able to skip PE for the rest of the year is good enough. But after the run and break, my stomach began to feel weird, especially after drinking milk tea; and then got a really bad diarhorrea. Urgh. So I couldn't go for shooting today. -.- Really need to do stocktaking soon, I know pellets and cards are running out.
Alright, shall go do something more constructive. Here are some funny quizes I took out of sheer boredom.

Seasports carnival heats was pretty fun; and eventful man. Yeah, JY and me pulled it off! Didn't go "exploring" liked we did for the previous seasports canoeing relay heats lol. As usual, Vera and Shulin were the pros. But it was fun anyhow! Jason's and Galvin's canoe capsized during the relays, and both of them got injuries. Galvin was sent to the hospital as his cut was pretty deep. Gosh. So the moral of the story: Don't capsize. But anyhow, S06 sure showed class spirit! :D The guys even rowed to Jason and Galvin's boat to help them. Just love our class for that. :) Although we didn't win, we had fun and there was class spirit! Dragonboating we got 3rd for our heat, but it was alright considering we didn't practise at all for it this year.
So, tml there's Chem SPA skill D and NAPFA 5 items! Damn shagged. And Wednesday's 2.4km run. -.- And I can't wait to watch MI:3 with Lydia tml! :) It's gonna be awesome. Anyway, Nick was amazing on his solo on SYTYCD! Can't believe he's in bottom 6. And the spiked hair guy is really good too. I'm so gonna learn dance after my A's! :D
Alright, gotta go memorise Chem. -.- I'm so shagged..
Stumbled upon an old journal that I kept during my secondary 3 days. Though it only contained around 10 entries, it told a lot. Since I've lost my online journal of 4 years, I'm glad I still had this journal. After reading, I realised how immature my thinking was, and how naive I was in the past. Looking back; how stupid I was to have felt that way. But of course, some were really sweet memories. I also realised I usually have difficulty dealing with failures and rejection. And this is still evident now, too.
Ironically, I miss those days.
Ironically, I prefer who I am now.
Yet, I want to be the naive me again.
Ok, I'm rambling again.
I don't see myself when I look in the mirror
I see who I should be
I don't see myself when I look in your eyes
Thank god for that
Starsailor - In The Crossfire
Mother's Day is coming; I want to bake a cake for her. :D Nigella's recipe for chocolate cloud cake looks really, really yummilicious. Hope it doesn't turn out a disaster.
And Ice Age 2 has the lamest ending. I can't believe the squirrel actually saved the day; anyway he's just sooooo freakin' cute!
Today it was back to school again, and I almost couldn't wake up this morning. Pressed the snooze button and went back to sleep for another 5 minutes, couldn't take it. School was pretty fine 'cos it's a short day! Went bubbling after school again with Vera and JY, lol.
Anyway, labour day holiday was great! 'Cos finally got to meet up with Jesslyn, Lydia, Wendy, Elizabeth and Weilin. :D Been a long time since all 6 of us met up together. Can really see how we have all changed, since we're all in different schools now and all; but really wish our friendship would stay the same always. :)
Then tonned the night at Wendy's place. Been some time I've visited her place as well. Did some stupid stuff, and chatted the night away. I'm glad we're still making efforts to meet up. Love you guys! :D
But something is still missing.
Anyway check out this video! Hilarious.
