my dearest junior LEE MIAN JUN, trying to be funny, acting as a headless person during band prac.
with my other dear junior, michelle, hours before LIMELIGHT '08

LOVELIES. yeo kexin and zhang qianwen, in euphos changing room hours before LIMELIGHT. i dont know what the hell kexin was trying to do.

YES FINALLY A NICE SECTION PHOTO. nycb double basses 2008 :D

and i never knew you could find such greenery in singapore. picture taken at kent ridge park.

HMP/ MUSIC class 2008. :D greatest people in the world. :D LIEBE! <3

picture stolen from guenyik's LJ, (sorry guen!) apparently someone started POST IT SECRET in our 3rd floor science block toilet, HAHA. there's more post-its today, but the secrets are like really lame ._.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE! HOT PINK (and green) HOUSES! green's just a sideline, the important point is IT'S HOT PINK! HAHAHA. (audrey can go mad now. XD)

and now, standing so close to the end,

all the memories are replaying again.
----------------

today was chinese again, just going through paper 1 and stuff. D: i dont feel motivated to do any chinese at all wth. ._.

after school went to music lab with caitong, and qian and kexin decided to tag along cause kexin wanted caitong to sing for her. haha. we ended up playing bridge after borrowing cards from celine.

woah. playing bridge with qian and kexin is just damn hilarious man.

throughout the i dont know how many games we played, i just couldnt stop laughing lah. it was just alot of exclamations and screaming. like "EH WHY YOU EAT ME!", "YOU'RE NOT MY PARTNER WHAT." "HELLO ARE YOU BLIND!" points to card and the other person starts stabbing self.

then there was one game where i won the bid, and then placed two aces, 1 club 1 heart, then qian, kexin and nat were supposed to place their cards accordingly. and then someone stupidly placed 2 club cards and no heart cards, so the club set had 5 cards, and the heart set had only 3 cards.

then kexin was like "EH WHY LIKE THAT! WHY GOT 5 CLUBS!" then qian and nat started pointing to each other saying "you never put the heart right!" and they were like arguing and quarelling, damn hilarious lah. then qian was like HAIYA COUNT CARDS LAH. but they didnt realise it was of no use cause there were still 8 cards thrown in total. ._.

and then they washed again. PERFECT. MY NICE CARDS GONE.

"eh now remember must count your cards arh!"

"and PLEASE DONT BE STUPID AND PUT TWO CARDS FOR 1 SET"

._. win.

oh then qian was like "I WANT MCWINGS CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL FOR MAC DELIVERY" throughout the whole process lah wth. in the end when she called for mac delivery herself, she was like "hello i want a apple pie!" in a damn smug and self-satisfied tone to the phone. -.-

and when the delivery came and she received the call, she went "oh YAY okay i'll go down to collect it now." then after she hang up, "VAL CAN YOU PLEASE GO DOWN AND HELP ME GET MY MACS."

HAHAHA. that woman arh.

in the end it ended at like 5.30. i think caitong sings nicely! :D haha. sorry for making you go back so late! =x

--------------

wth i want BILL KAULITZ'S SMILE NOW.

it's mentioned on bravo that his new teeth is worth 32.000 euro!

Echo 2007 Tokio Hotel Spring nicht

i wonder why i've never seen this before. aber, geiler sprung! :D even though I THINK it was playback (cause echo always does playback cause it sounds better on tv) and the acoustics sucked, i thought they were great live and the stage was really awesome. the fire and stuff. :D wahnsinn. :D

listening to this song at night is a little depressing. :/ it's so powerful.

tokio hotel live premiere of Heilig - LIVE @ VIVA COMET 2007

performing after winning comet awards for the best video (der letzte Tag) and best band, and closing the ceremony.

Heilig (sacred)lyrics:

Ich halt mich wach - für dich
I keep awake for you
Wir schaffens nicht beide - Du weisst es nicht
We won’t make it together – You don’t know it
Ich geb mich jetzt für Dich auf
I surrender for you now
Mein letzter Wille hilft Dir raus
My last will helps you to escape
bevor das Meer unter mir - zerbricht
Before the sea will burst under me
Ich glaub an Dich
I believe in you

Du wirst für mich - immer heilig sein
You will always be sacred to me
Ich sterb - für unsere Unsterblichkeit
I die for our immortality
Meine Hand - von Anfang an
My hand – right from the beginning
über Dir - Ich glaub an Dich
Over you – I believe in you
Du wirst für mich - immer heilig sein

Du brichst die Kälte - wenn Du sprichst
You break the ice when you talk
Mit jedem Hauch von Dir - erlöst Du mich
With every breath from you you save me
Wir sehen uns wieder - irgendwann
We will see each other again – someday
Atme weiter - wenn Du kannst
Breathe on if you can
Auch wennn das Meer - unter Dir zerbricht
Even if the sea will burst under you
Ich glaub an Dich

lyrics:
Ihr guckt immer gerade aus
You always look straight ahead
Habt uns nicht kommen sehen
Haven’t seen us coming
Hallo ihr hab'n problem
Hello, you have a problem
Weil wir das kommando übernehmen
Because we take charge now

'tschuldigung - Du stehst im weg
Sorry, you're in the way
Und wir müssen hier vorbei
And we have to pass by

Wir sind jung und nicht mehr jugendfrei
We are young and not G-rated anymore
Tut mir leid ich weiß wir sollen nicht
I’m sorry I know we shouldn’t
Doch wir fangen schon mal zu leben an
But we’ll just start living now
Wir sind jung und nicht mehr jugendfrei
We are young and not G-rated anymore
Eure rechnung ist mit uns nicht aufgegangen
Your plan with us didn’t work
Wir fangen schon mal zu leben an
we’ll just start living now

Dear Mr. President- P!nk(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.

Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?

How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?

Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

just came from dinner celebrating my grandma's birthday with auntie sian lay and uncle lai from canada and all the relatives.

everytime we have these gatherings, im always excited to see everyone, yet im always left disappointed. you see the ugly side of people.

i never thought that such things like 重男轻女 would still exist in today's context, especially since we're in singapore. but i've just witnessed it. D:

and then the whole talk about academics and stuff. it's really tough, especially since there's like 3 people who've been to RJ, 1 in RG, 1 in RI, and one who's gone through HC.

talk about rivalry.

i dont know if i should consider myself fortunate or what. i dont have to go through O levels, not much stress compared to some others. but it's really tiring when you're expected to achieve that much, and you know that you're not cut out for it all.

best still, when you know this isnt the life you want.

and there's all the talk about the economic downturn. the way they put it, it's like it's confirmed we're all going to suffer and feel the loss. even though U.S. "supposedly" benefited from their bail out, europe's not doing well, australia's not much better.

what's going to happen to us?

the feeling of uncertainty sucks. D: months ago, i was so confident of what i really wanted in life.

now, i just feel like i dont know life long enough.

i dont care. im just gonna carry on doing my stuff, and persuing the things i really want in life.

What Siewying Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

Travel Horoscope for Sagittarius

When you travel, you want to experience the journey as much as the destination. You want a vacation that really immerses you in a culture. You should travel: By train, across all of Asia With the Peace Corps As a foreign language teacher On an around the world ticket Spending a few months in one place

Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer

For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks. You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next. And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life!

You Are a Fist

Your life philosophy can be summed up as, “Life fast. Die young.” Your greatest wish is to have a life of passion and excitement. And while you don't want to die young, you rather take risks than stay home and be afraid. You are inspired and inspiring. You live each day like it's your last.

those marked in red are true, as far as a i know. the others, not so. :/

ohh tokio hotel's scream remake video was cool btw. but i wont post it here cause of the culture shock and real emo/typical hard core rock involved. but hey! i bet making the video was real fun, especially since they had the honour of really bringing a whole house down (literally) and creating such a havoc.

gustav's cute in it btw. lol :D
