1. prettiest friend
2. butterfly [NUMERO UNO ON MY TOP 25 SONGS PLAYED IN THE IPOD]
this version with beatbox is not bad. ENOUGH WITH THE CATCALLS ALREADY. =P
3. common pleasure; live frm eagles ballroom [toca+MRAZ = awesomeness].
the way he does the scatting is even better than christina A.
4. clockwatching. [dedicated to jyn and hamie and those who have the <<<>
wah, this one makes me really happy. his audience is like a typical FANCLUB; I TELL YOU. ;) they know the lyrics and the sing to it and the girls are hollering and he is MAGNET. but it stops short, so there's another full BUT INTIMATE [yikes i get goosebumps] version.
5. LIVE HIGH - AGAIN AGAIN !!!!! [sounding similar to TELETUBBY]
PLEASE HAVE YOUR SPEAKERS SWITCHED ON LOUD AND CLEAR.
ZOMG, YES I CAN HEAR YOU. =)

this life is a beautiful one.
happy birthday mum! ;)
am so glad that you have been my mother for 16 and [insert fraction] years already.=) I LOVE YOU ^ [INFINITY]
heard of the news? they're gonna build a revolving skyscraper in dubai. and its gonna be environmentally-friendly.
such a waste of resources really. why the H___ does anyone sane need a revolving house? cant you [for THE LOVE OF GOD] go to the opposite end of your house and look through the window? seems to me that humans are either very lazy or VERY wealthy. and, for pete's sake - it takes 1 to 3 hours for a full rotation. by the time you have waited, you could have walked back and forth multiple times.
saw this ad in the newspaper: adam khoo can teach you the easy way to earn a 5/6 figure sum that 97% of the population will be jealous of. another one of those things i can laugh at.
what ever happened to the other 3%? singapore's 77,000 millionaires?
HAHA.
been watching alot of tv lately. so many shows to watch! >>> danny phantom, the suite life of zack and cody, rachael ray, ellen degeneres [she's getting married !!! she's a lesbian !!! NVM; still like her], the showdown, ANTM, ETC ETC.
back for its fourth [or is it fifth?] season is BRAINIAC; on arts central every tuesday 10 pm. i absolutely adore those fellas. brits' sense of humour is very dry but definitely hilarious. and besides, the show use the word 'SCIENCE' as a disguise to carry out explosive and random experiments. what a great way to use government's funds really. =P
here's an episode to get you all fired up andROFL-ing. ;)
btw, the host has changed. i dont rlly like the new one, but he's pretty acceptable. anyone with a british accent will do though. they already sound naturally loopy. HAHA.
oh, and look what i found in my library of photos. this was taken in transit, from venice to pisa in italy [i think], when we stopped at a gas station. pretty funny; thought i should share with you guys.
YEAH, it's a sexy test. and this reminds me [I GOT STM] that i shld show you guys the thousands of pictures taken.
SOMEDAY. ;)

SHE'S A REBEL.
only one word regarding the common test exams:
AIYO!
life cannot be better once the exams are over. it's been pretty depressing for me. only thing left to do is to brace oneself for the onslaught of the poor results.
[GOODBYE GRADES, HELLO U'S]
now, onto more important things - meeting DA MAN. there is a requirement of cash immediately, and i have just the solution.
once quota has been reached, slot will automatically shut. thank you for your kind and generous donations.
this dream seems to be increasingly dimmer as time passes. i suggest immediate action should be taken. alternatively, i can take the time and smell the roses. you see, lately i've been doing a lot of thinking about everything. i call it my own version of knowledge inquiry. it's just about questioning about life's difficult qns.
like why i need to study, why the singapore education system is so rigid and structured,why life is not easy >>> WHY THIS AND WHY THAT.
now is the time to indulge in some brit rock that is not here or there, but EVERYWHERE. no qns and no limits; i like this idea for music. ;)
the fratellis - henrietta. [reminds me of the hoosiers; also a GLASGOW band.]
what am i doing in life, with flailing arms as i sink beneath the tumultous waves of the sea? [sometimes i ponder] but i've reached a conclusion. im juz gonna grad frm JC and take MASS COMMS course at any available university [preferably overseas] and see how it goes frm there.
this is the answer to RAEBORN'S qn about MRAZ's jumping into a waterfall. (^^)
another gd reason to blog about the inspiration. =O
school: tiring.
life: typical.
me: almost drained.
ARGGGGHHHHHHH
TAKE ME TO THE ROCKET LAUNCH
YOU DINGBATS AND SNOZWOGGLERS

coldplay - viva la vida [they shld finish the vid.]

sunshine lady. ;)
sorry chumps but its more vids for the time being. im on computer probation thanks to a VERY NICE PERSON; also known as BROTHER. =/
MRAZ intro-ed this song by TWO STOP GOBI and i thought it has a pretty nice vibe to it. =)
kinda reminds me of JAMIROQUAI though. <<<>
which also reminds me how i havent finished DL-ng his songs YET!
ARGH.
cant get enough of this man and am UBER glad that i caught him on arts central a year ago on the show - LIVE FROM ABBEY ROAD. ;)

title speaks for itself. im sorry but im addicted to YOUTUBEEEE. ;)

DAMN GOOD DANCERS I TELL YA. this below is a dance compilation - both 7 weeks of dancing in total. i am freaking obsessed with them GAHHHHH.

flashmobbing - AYE!
we need some spontaneity in life - like free hugs and flashmobbing. im all up for flashmobbing >>> seriously cool activity to do - AWESOMMMES. ;) flashmobbing isn't all abt freezing though. there's a purpose for everythng = which is basically F.U.N.
dhwani's grand central one was pretty gd - but i reckon EDINBURGH's got some guts. take a look at the 2 guys on the poles and the kissing couple.
this one's got singaporeans in it. hot day at TAKA and some people chose to put their hands up. it's gotta be tiring, even if its just for 5 mins! =O amazing, these doods. i applaud them and someday, it's going to be one hell of a FUN singapore.
sad truth is, if there are too many people let in on the secret, it's not gonna be fun.
another fave - pirates flash mob at CORNELL UNIVERSITY. [can you hear them go YEAARRARGHHH?] WAIT FOR THE END. ;)
this is the polish flashmobbers with their number 23rd activity. (o.0)
that's all for tonight folks. i CHEE YOU CHOO. =O

>>> SATURDAY AUG 2ND:
- SIMPLE PLAN [!!!!!] - TRAVIS [!] - MELEE [!!!]
[metal bands warning] - new found glory - lostprophets - crowned king - dearest

>>> SUNDAY AUG 3RD:
- JASONTHOMASMRAZ ;) [! ^ infinity.]
- ALICIA KEYS - ONE REPUBLIC - JAMIE SCOTT [!] - PANIC [!!!] AT THE DISCO - STACIE ORRICO - rick astley [another unkown]
F___ / (insert suitable expletives here) !!!!! now i wanna go on both days.
i am desperate; seriously so. MIDAS has announced most of the names in the lineup for this year. i asked for MRAZ and they gave me the love. i told them about MELEE's tour dates and now they're coming too. [disclaimer: im not trying to say that it's all my efforts or smth, but i've been pretty lucky all this while. ;)
so now im in serious dilemma. i am definitely going on the AUG 3RD cause THE MAN is there and there's NO EFFING WAY i'm going to miss the action. it will be too much. the pain will be smth like (MAROON 5 SHORTAGE + TOTALLY MISSED TC5 + NOT SMELLING MRAZ = IMMENSE PAIN.) no kidding. but ARGH - i hate it when i sound like the average teenage 'AAHHH' fan.
do want to catch SP AND MELEE AND TRAVIS though! especially MELEE, since i did a rlly special request for them . btw, JM's webbie has confirmed his trip down to SUNNY ISLAND. =D ALOHA! apparently he's going to korea on the AUG 1ST AND 2ND. busyboy. =/
but everyone has their own wishlist and hopes up that prices of the tickets will fall drastically. let's be optmistic - EH? and i've been to all the forums >>>
they are ALL requesting incessantly for METAAAAL bands. well, here are some other choices i have given MIDAS:
1. the hoosiers [gg to JAP for summersonic fest]
2. franz fedinand
3. foo fighters
4. the ALL AMERICAN REJECTS ;)
5. all time low
6. ANBERLIN
7. artic monkeys
8. bowling for soup =D =D =D
9. Boys Like Girls
10. COBRASTARSHIP [ZOMG YES YES YES AGAIN]
11. damien rice ;)
12. dashboard confessionals
13. the feeling
14. the fray
15. jon mclaughin ;)
16. keane ;)
17. LANDON PIGG. =)
18. plain white t's
19. quietdrive
20. the RJA
21. RELIENT K - YES YES YES YES YES ;)
22. sugar ray >>> old but AGAIN!
23. incubus [here ths march =P ]
24. FOB !!!!!
25. the USED
26. yellowcard ;)
27. the white stripes =O
28. 30STM
29. ZOMG WTH I FORGOT THEM? >>> OK GO!
yah. and im not sure why they keep requesting for AVENGED 7 FOLD TO RETURN. they must have rlly done a gd show last year. what with all that spamming in forums and breaking of barricades. i guess im publicising for SINGFEST 08 alot, but - HEY! if i get free tix for being a gd spokesperson, then WHY NOT? ;)
of course, there's no such thing currently. which is the reason behind why HAMSTER and i have been discussing our top secret mission that will require all the manpower we have [both of us?] all the brains + brawn [if any =P ] and FAST RUNNERS. ;) i cant tell you what it is of course.
TOP SECRET. =O
and - OH! they have this meet the band thngy which i have signed up for already. all i want to do is meet MRAZ of course. ;) i tell you the bliss when i see his face. =O here's how it goes: i will say 'hi' to him, maybe if im not trembling i MIGHT strike up a convo, get pictures and autographs on BOTH my albums and get his video.
AND I WILL MAKE HIM SAY/SING the word - 'VALERIE'. might just make that my official ringtone forever. ;) ZOMG - this will make jyn terribly jealous. =P
now where can i find 3 orange notes that will miraculously fall out of the sky and into my lap?
________________________________________
it's going to be much harder especially since i just got a new TV. SAMSUNG HDTV - WAH. =O it's super clear and much bigger than the one with been using for mths. PLUS - it's HD! now my dad is thinking of revamping the living room to accomodate this new addition in our family. =P he wants to get a tv console, as well as change our couch.
DIDNT HE SEE THE PAPERS? RICE AND VEG AND OIL AND WHATNOT IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE! we shld be saving up for necessities [LIKE SINGFEST 08 - DUH] and not spending it on things that we do not necessarily need!
gdnite. =/
4:20 PM
you raise me up.
connie talbot from britain's got talent and blind korean child pianist. WTH this really got tears into my eyes. ='( that and aziz's FREE HUGS vid.
this goes to show that ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. =)
let's just COME TOGETHER for a song. ;)
above 2 vids from JUNG SUNGHA from KOREA. AMAZING GENIUS GUITARIST. =O he doesnt use tabs unless he needs to; most of the time he plays fingerstyle and - GUESS WHAT? world-famous and renowned guitarists have actually requested to play with him. [FYI, those 2 songs are by the beatles. i've already subscribed to him on YOUTUBEEEE. now you know what i've been doing these few days. =P ]
he's ONLY 12.
MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING ALL YOUR LIFE, EH?

TSK.
this just goes to show how American teens/kids/youths are aware of the things going around them. especially about what goes on in the entertainment world. AMERICA, you may live in delusion that your kids are all fine little innocent naive SAINTLY children - but NO; they are absolutely not.
in fact, they learn faster than you can ever imagine. their empty minds [at the beginning] are like sponges when they are young - FAST and absorbent. exposure to such negative influences is just evidence of how they can be swayed to do the wrong things, UNLESS the adults take a stand and show them that BRITNEY SPEARS DROPPING HER KID AND DRINKING ALCOHOL AT THE SAME TIME is definitely WRONG and is INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR.
what am i saying? she sucks. =X
credits to jyn and ryan nigahiga on YOUTUBEE.
perhaps we shld learn mre abt current youth culture as well.
for example, WHAT IS AN EMO?
and then, mre importantly, HOW TO BE EMO.

phantasmagoria
BIG BIG NEWS:
ALICIA KEYS, JAMIE SCOTT, LOSTPROPHETS, NEW FOUND GLORY, SIMPLE PLAN, PANIC AT THE DISCO, ONE REPUBLIC, TRAVIS and more. August 2 and 3, NOON TIL LATE. for more details, see http://www.sistic.com/
JASON MRAZ COMING !!!!!
i want to cry from happiness. T.T [not that sad anymore abt BELOW. HAHAHA. ;) ] had to stop myself frm hyperventilating ZOMG I LOVE SINGFEST ADMIN. =))
been watching vids of MAD TV. damn HILARIOUS!!! =O they spoof almost everything i could imagine; even on BARACK OBAMA and HILARY CLINTON.
we all need a few good laughs now and then and i seriously encourage this. thanks once again to YOU TUBEEEE - my very gd fren. ;)
here's one: spoof of PROJECT RUNWAY. [i LOVE the accent, HEIDI! =]
and i was watching GOKUSEN season 1 as well. it's this jap drama abt a mafia/gangster/mob's granddaughter who lost her parents since young. she wants to fulfill her parents wishes and become a teacher. however, she is assigned the worst class in the level. but, with much determination and perserverance, she strives to change her class for the better and one by one, the students in her class understand her efforts and make the change.
[editor's note: FINISHED FINALLY.]
so inspirational. episode 8 on crunchyroll.com totally make me weep. SO TOUCHING DESU!!! ________________________________________
righto - on to mre interesting thngs. ;)
1) CHRONICLES OF NARNIA; PRINCE CASPIAN.
love the eye candy. =P ben barnes is really a gd looker but sadly, his acting chops are nowhere near the mark. he's got an accent in the film and im unsure what it is - LATIN/MEXICAN/CUBAN? william mosley is easy on the eyes as well but - same with the acting. [unfrotunately, he's dating his Narnia co-star, anna popplewell.] rlly pales in comparison. i say KUDOS to georgie henley for her innocent yet realistic potrayal of LUCY pevensie. she's rlly ADORABLE. ;)
the story is somewhat a continuation frm the first installment. a year has passed for the Pevensie siblings, but not in Narnia, where around a thousand years has passed. The evil King Miraz has taken charge of Narnia but with the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep, and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the King, once again with Aslan's help.
>>> gonna give it 3.5 stars. ;)
2) NORTHERN LIGHTS.
pretty good book and the film adaptation was good too. but i always prefer the book version more. words bring your mind to a whole new level and you get room for imagination. watching the movie first kinds of stifle that. it taught me a lot. like HOW NOT TO JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. i kind of do that often. =/
so - go read the book. i cant wait to get my hands on the next 2 once school starts. ;)
WHICH REMINDS ME THAT I HAVENT BEEN STUDYING FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS. argh. this is what happens when you live in delusion and assume that one FINE day, you will turn into a very accomplished and HIGHLY popular leadsinger of a rockband.
i havent stopped dreaming; SADLY to say.
3) mentoring camp. [nt exactly the highlight of the week.]
PRAYPRAYPRAY next year that we can persuade ms chia to let us have WATER GAMES/WARS. what kind of camp doesnt have WATER GAMES - REALLY? =O
4) GOOD MUSIC.
- incubus: they were here this year; if i wasnt wrong. it's not too late to like them really. and when i wasnt a MUSIC GURU yet, i used to confuse them with RHCP. sorry FANS. =O
- the HOOSIERS [yes, i love them] >>> theatrically good and their songs are a tad whimsical. very MOI. ;) englishmen are queer.
- laura marling: she's STRANGE. [all english PEEPS are.]
- jon mclaughlin >>> what a heartthrob. and with the same initials as some of the guys i like. ;)
- hard fi
- secondhand serenade [real name is john vesley which in my opinion, ISNT QUITE CATCHY as the former RIGHT?]
- raining jane [FEMALE BAND!!! =O]
5) shopping and MOPE-ing.
bought 3 hairbands and a pair of skinnies frm LEVI'S at killer prices. ;) YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
as for the latter point; SIGH. i shall continue to distract myself until one day i decide to stop avoiding the problem and face it. then, hopefully, it will be less painful and as time erodes the pain, i shall be able to overcome the HURT.
DONT KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
i dont blame you, FRIEND. ='(
>>> there's a hole in your logic, you who know all the answers, UHOH-UHOHUHOH. - Goodbye Mr A.
3:40 PM
short and SWEET.
someone wanted me to update so HERE I AM.
things done this week:
1) watched CHRONICLES OF NARNIA; PRINCE CASPIAN
2) finished the book NORTHERN LIGHT by PHILIP PULLMAN, which was made into a movie starring NICOLE KIDMAN AND DANIEL CRAIG called THE GOLDEN COMPASS.
