CMM
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 12:50 AM

I was looking through Facebook and untagging photos of myself (I HAVE 1K + PHOTOS OK PEOPLE TOO MANY!) and I saw this, taken two days before my birthday this year, at the surprise party everyone did for me. I couldn't express my gratitude then or even blog about it properly but I was really, really, really happy. I had never felt so loved by friends since that time in Sec 3 when Lai Han and Chong Aik brought out a cake after the end of the secondary 1 orientation, so really, thank you every single one of you!
Thank you for the flowers, thank you for the singing, the food, the presents, the cake, the cards, the well wishes, the money spent, the gorgeous venue...every single thing. And most of all, for the love!
I don't deserve friends like this I really don't. :)
And when the new semester starts I'm gonna miss every thing we shared in the past 1 year, but I am fearless and I hope to see even greater things in CMM. I don't wanna be let down.
Love you guys!
P/S Look how long my hair was!!!
I want these.

Or something close to this called the Cosmos Star Sky Starry Night Projector Light Lamp.

And a 32GB iTouch. Once I find something to do with my Classic. It's 2.05 AM. Gonna sleep now and try to ignore the fact that I have disappeared from your life.
Where has my energy gone to?

I have not been to school in weeks and just today I went for like...maybe less than 5 hours for deco and now I am officially bushed. People please do not mistake my constant humiliating myself in public as me being the energizer bunny anymore because I am running on spare batteries urgggh. Jean, Eudora and Nava are flying off on Friday and I am gonna miss them. Wish so bad I am gonna be on that plane to Perth with them.
I feel like 18 going on 80.
Cher, may tomorrow be an even better day for you at work. I miss you already and I will eat dinner with you at vivo someday when Sn is in army and you are lonely. And people who randomly ask my on MSN 'How are you!!!!!!!!!!!' with crazy enthusiasm I am for the 101th time perfectly functional and fine. In fact I think I have been eating even more than usual, which is pure scary.
Goodnight world please don't take anything more away from me.
And
happy 18th birthday Jonathan! :) Stop being so weird. HAHA.
SHINee (!!!!!!!!) + misc
Sunday, March 14, 2010 @ 8:25 PM
As we speak, my screen is bobbing dangerously up and down. Ok, maybe not so drastically, but it IS indeed in bad shape. Therefore, I am trying to squeeze all the stuff I have on this laptop into my hard disk (Really old, I need a new one!) and desktop so that I can send this baby for repairs ASAP.
Mmhmm my life is so interesting like that.
Anyway, yesterday I finally got to see SHINee live! I would have totally went the first round they came if the tickets didn't bloody cost S$150. And I am definitely a very reason-minded fan so I will not blow that amount of money to see them unless it's a full-fledged concert.
I nearly had a heart attack yesterday when Cher called and shrieked that she had forgotten to bring her memory card. And she was all the way in Kallang ice skating!!!!
Wah can you imagine, one of the most important days of my life so far in 2010 and she forgot to bring her camera's memory card = no pictures!!!!!!!!
In the end she went all the way back home to get it and we thought we were gonna be late but in the end we realised we could be late for maybe 3 hours and it wouldn't have mattered because SHINee was the last act (So clever hor, organisers!).

We were at row 10! View wasn't bad but could be better though. I definitely have to try out being in the moshpit one day.......and attempt to survive hahaha.





Sibei sian waiting for SHINee.
Was VERY trigger happy at first while Cher looked like someone had died ha.ha.ha. Quoted from her, 'I rush like some dog just now leh!'

Got dark before we knew it. I'm always trying to pay attention to when the sun is gonna set so I can see the whole process of the light sky turning dark but it's always...major fail.


Very excited at colourful mo tian lun I shook like crazy. Def not because I have no skills HAHAH.








For fangirls. Not much interested though. Cher claims she wasn't but took down a 10 min recording while he was singing! No wonder cam died when SHINee came on HAHAHA.

I like Olivia!

Mr Owl.
After three thousand years...SHINee!
Could totally imagine how crazy the atmosphere was, with almost everyone standing up on their chairs, waving boards/lightsticks/attempting to shove cameras into the sky. We remained calm and just recorded the performances down okay! Should totally get media passes 'cos we'll get to meet SHINee up close and be 101% assured of not yanking their hair out.



HAD to take a picture of Onew, even if it's damn lousy - those pixels are made up of his face ok!! Hahahahah.
Lots of people were saying Jonghyun looked like he was at a funeral but......it is either I am too rational or just blind because I was just soaking in their hotness. Really. And blah I don't really care for the speculations on whether or not he was really unhappy to be there because I was happy to see him and that's all that matters. Can't really control how they feel right (Just control your behaviour next time crajee fangirls next time an artiste comes to town for the first time if that still bugs you) plus there are a 1001 reasons for him to feel upset/tired/bored etc.
All those who walked off after SHINee's performance ended (which was ALOT OF PEOPLE LAH HAHAHAH), maybe Jonghyun hates you because of your lousy fan attitude la hor.
But actually, I totally dig his cool I-don't-give-a-shit look.
And Key and Taemin were especially cuteee. I'm glad they performed 'Noona, you're so pretty' (Plus JoJo and Ring Ding Dong). CA, your fave song!
Didn't get good shots of SHINee so obviously we ended up camwhoring like crazy, explains all the photos of us only right. Eh Cher, El even commented on FB asking where the SHINee pics were!!!!
Now I think we really took too many photos.





Contemplated going to SHINee's showcase today but...oh well. Not like we missed much. Seriously praying SM goes bonkers and decides to invest in their artistes coming down here. I love C.N Blue, Big Bang, 2NE1, 2AM and all but if SM comes down it would mean the most value right.
OH and today, my sister bought her iTouch, with her own money. Told you my 14 year old is richer than me. FML. She is happy with her beautiful new toy as my life gets more miserable by the second!!!!! URRRRRRRR. Can't wait to get mine.
iTouch + random thoughts
Friday, March 12, 2010 @ 10:05 PM
It's too indulgent to get an iTouch...but seriously I love my Classic to death and the largest reason I am not letting it go is because it is friggin 120GB! Ok I know now in the market there is no more 120GB iPod classics only 160GB but you don't need that much unless you're a hardcore music junkie.
Plus I just Gmasked it less than a year ago!
Anyone interested in buying a 1 year old 120GB iPod Classic? In really good condition, I swear, unless the person Gmasking it killed it during the process because I heard some of them make mistakes and accidentally scratch the iPod and all. But it looks 100% new, no scratches on the back or anything.

Eh but honestly I wouldn't sell it to friends because very scary you know like I'm just afraid I won't live up to your expectations or anything. Hahah. If you are a stranger PM me.
Quote a price but don't be ridiculous ok I know the market HAHA.
Will only provide better pictures to serious people. I know it looks very ugly here but my webcam sucks.
And I am 2 bucks away from cashing out a Nuffnang cheque! And I am going to see SHINee tomorrow! And my life is a total mess right now!
Urrr.
Awakening
Thursday, March 11, 2010 @ 9:02 AM
A time comes in your life when you finally get it…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH. Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.
This is your Awakening.
You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.
You realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you…and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.
You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are…and that’s OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.
You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself…and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.
Your stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you – or didn’t do for you – and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and everything isn’t always about you.
So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself…and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties…and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.
You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you’ve outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.
You learn that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a “consumer” looking for you next fix.
You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.
You learn that you don’t know everything, it’s not you job to save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing. You learn the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
Then you learn about love. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You learn that alone does not mean lonely.
You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.
You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.
You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drinking more water, and take more time to exercise.
You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.
You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.
More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it’s OK to risk asking for help.
You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.
You learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn’t always fair, you don’t always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people…and you lean not to always take it personally.
You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t always somebody’s fault. It’s just life happening. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.
You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.
You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.
Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than you heart’s desire.
You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.
You hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.
Finally, with courage in you heart, you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can.
- Sonny Carroll
Found this on Tumblr, and I feel every single word here. However amazing though, words are just words afterall. Quotes and phrases are strung together prettily in ways you cannot quite put a finger on that make so much sense, but only because we allow them to.
I believe that this awakening ought to come to everyone strongly and properly once in their lives.
Maybe they might falter along the way - but once it hits you, you know it will never really go away.
I am waiting for it to hit me. Don't shit me saying I can wake up whenever I want to. It's just not possible. It's like telling me not to feel. I want to be well and ready that this can never mess with my head and heart again. But I am hopeful, and I am hoping it will come soon. And when that day comes, I will not feel resentful, will not feel beat up every night before I go to bed, and...
I will learn to let people in again.
Thinking of you
@ 12:16 AM
Times like this I miss you and I wish I could ask you if you did too. But I'll be ok someday.
Up in the Air + Yong Hwa
Monday, March 08, 2010 @ 10:07 AM
Caught Up In The Air today and it is an amazing show. You know I always hear people talking about how George Clooney is so hot and all that...and now I really believe so! Ok what I really mean is that for a 49 year old man he is really charming, has a great smile and is absolutely full of charisma.

Basically, everyone should watch this because it is something different from the chick flicks and disappointing Alice in Wonderland that are in cinemas now. It's clean-cut and refreshing, def one of the better movies I've watched in a long time.
And also...
Kim Hyun Joong
Jung Yong HwaCould easily mistake them for the same person.So similar and soooooo cute. I think the scriptwriters of Goong, Boys Over Flowers and You're Beautiful decided that in every teen idol drama there is a need to instill a hot young man that never gets the girl. With You're Beautiful being the most recent, Yong Hwa is Cher and my new obsession! But seeing him in We Got Married with Seo Hyun makes me feel a little strange. I think it's cos...SHE IS SO AWKWARD.
He's handsome beyond words though. Sigh.
Questions
@ 2:26 AM
Watched Alice in Wonderland with Kt today and the movie was.....hmm not as amazing as I thought it would b.
