sakae-ing.
today i went out with 2 band members, 2 2g ppl, 2 4g ppl, and 3 other random dudes who seem to have really bad eyesight and a unique sense of humour. ;) met shuan at NLB first for some book-borrowing but that got cut short due to jazz's TIMELY arrival.
shuanoo and me. ;)
jazzoo and lao ba at sakae, scanning the menu carefully, perhaps in awe of the large variety of sushi available. i was quite fascinated as well. the previous time i went sakae we didnt use this digital menu. =/
look at that long line of sushiii iiiiiiiiiiii. =O
my deliciously looking udon - very filling. ;)
lunch buffet began at 3 pm. later on, shuan left for her dental appointment which was scheduled at 4pm. she left and we ate AND waited AND talked til she returned, which by then was 6 pm. =O i kept eating the ebi [prawn] sushi, fried stuff [YUM !] and my udon. ended off with 2 sesame mochis. GAH, wanted to have some lychee-flavoured ones. :(
we finished the red plates - salmon, then we left for home. (^^) nice day today and JAZZ, have a great trip in land of the rising sun ! ;)
aite.

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX. ;)
obviously the title of this post was thought of by someone with a great big moustache - my dad. HAH, i have never heard him repeat that line so many times before. but yesterday he did and boy, can that be SO annoying.
so i caught the whole thing on HD and read the entire dissection of the race in the newspaper [today]. i like that they classified it into laps so that its wayyy easier to understand and digest. i have to admit i have always liked fast cars [my dream was a red one HAHA but not a fan of striking red ferrari] but had little interest towards F1. honestly, i only knew the likes of schumacher [who is NOT racing alr/retired btw, just in case anyone who's reading this doesnt know - but WHO AM I KIDDING?] =O oh yeah, and the names of raikkonen and hamilton.
come to think of it, i hate both raikkonen and hamilton. one's an iceman who looks like he couldnt be bothered by the media nor his immediate surroundings; the other's a playboy. yeah, i know i ought not to classify people into categories, but IT IS THE TRUTH.
my take? I THINK FORMULA ONE IS PURE ADRENALINE AND IM A CONVERT. FOR ONCE, THERE IS A SPORT THAT COMBINES ACTION, DRAMA AND CRASH BOOM BANG ! have to admit that the accidents were COOL. [even more so since no one got hurt] :P and AND AND - i have become a fan of FELIPE MASSA. i dont care however horrible his season has been. i think he is a rlly good driver. and i dont care that he did not win - it doesnt matter. ;)
brother got his wish cause he was rooting for ALONSO all the way and i must say he had some foresight, although i choose not to believe in it. :P but you cant rlly put someone down just because problems cropped up regarding his engine and he was 15th for the qualifying rounds.
in conclusion: felipe massa's dramatic and swift fall from leader of the pack to the last position was a huge surprise. due to an unforeseen technical glitch - refuelling, i think, back at the pit stop. and team mate kimi raikkonen dashed the hopes of ferrari once more when he skidded along the track and crashed into the side, completely twisting his right front wheel. that erased his 5th place, thus resulting in lewis hamilton of mclaren mercedes, nico rosberg of williams-toyota and fernando alonso of renault taking their respective places on the podium.
________________________________________
was supposed to celebrate my cousin's birthday but got postponed so we all tapau KFC and went to my other cousin's house to watch F1 cause my uncle is a fan. in fact - he has a picture of felipe massa [not one of those magazines or newspaper cut outs; a REAL one] of felipe massa signing a helmet. ANOTHER fact: the entire family was rooting for MASSA. and birthday boy [who is a car FANATIC] was going on and on about the gear box and the other technical terms in relation to F1. >>> only 9 years old. =O bit fascinating rlly.
when that massive cock up/screw up occured to massa, i have never heard so much outrage from the adults AND the kids. everyone was making so much noise that i think we were overpowering the telly's volume, which FYI was already turned up a tad TOO loud. and my other 8 y/o cousin was just going on and on about MASSA THIS MASSA THAT MASSA EVERYTHING. he even called him mas selamat because MAS were his representing letters. HAHA. =D kids are just hilarious.
at the end of the day, i guessed everyone resigned to the fate that a race is not a race until it is over [as quoted from my uncle, the F1 fan] and that at 61 LAPS - anything is indeed possible. kudos to the unknown guy for taking 2nd place and for alonso fighting back to get back what was EVENTUALLY HIS, as well as singapore for doing a good job and putting us on the world map. this truly was an eventful race and a night to remember.
but anws - GO MASSA ! hahaha. :P
k, keep safe and dont drink and drive. ;)

one day.
my life is like a story. or thats because i choose such a way to recall it.
ONLY ONE MORE PAPER TO GO AND I SHALL BE OFF TO WONDERLAND HAHAHA.
day one: monday
1) gp essay - a dug a hole for myself and jumped in voluntarily.
2) gp compre - a climbed out of the hole, although scraped and bruised badly.
3) chinese essay - a sat at the edge of the hole, shaking my leg and whistling to myself what a wonderful day it is. [birds chirp, blue skies, fine weather, YADA.]
4) chinese compre - i shook my leg too hard and fell back in again.
day two: wednesday
econs paper - some "KIND" fellow walked by and decided to pour in truckloads-ful of water into the hole that im in and expected me to swim.
day three: thursday
1) chem - I DROWNED.
2) math - i got revived a la Elektra movie method, although someone promptly left me in the middle of the SAHARA desert.
expected day four and final day: monday
bio - I DIE FOR GOOD. :(
_______________________________________
i have been thinking alot about the CHINA MILK SCARE and i wonder if i shouldnt have anymore chocolates. =/ best not to, seeing how my mum had food poisoning [not due to milk but cockles] and so did my brother [unsure due to what]. its either im lucky or i have a rlly great immune system. i choose to believe the latter. ;)
anws, for your own safety [AND FOR YOUR OWN GOOD] dont eat things that have milk or come from china. its hard to rlly believe and depend on them ever since the toys they made started malfunctioning and caused babies to have a whole chunk of health problems.

new single frmkeane - spiralling. the chorus makes me want to sing along. SUCH INFECTIOUS MELODIES. ;) and finally they are back frm such a long long long hiatus. i mean, their last album was in 2006. it seems like EONS
to me. i miss keane. =/

if only our uniforms are like those [see below], going to school wouldnt be such a bore already. that being said, its probably only suitable if singapore's climate is similar to that of an air conditioned room [say, 20 -25 C].
i have discovered my love for all things checked. =O
i mean, look at those trench coats ! we would have heatstroke frm the moment we step out of any shopping mall. in that case, [er - for fashion's sake?] we should built a dome over our little island. we still have the sun - but not the heat. no prizes for guessing where i got the idea frm. [hint: yellow people. ;) ] that way, no one can give excuses for not dressing their best and all the nonsense abt how flip flops and shirt/shorts combi is our national costume [!!!] shall forever be banished; HAHA. :P
these are all gossip girl pictures btw. i think this is the only show so far with beautiful people, equally beautiful [and a heck lotta EXPENSIVE] fashion and an fairly interesting storyline.
ahhh. off to dreamland.

the man who cant be moved.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag and not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you
Cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "son you can't stay here" I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year" Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go
Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world Maybe i'll get famous as the man who can't be moved Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news And you'll come running to the corner cuase you'll know it's just for you Im the man who can't be moved
Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

blue socks.
currently listening to:
1) the PCR song - dedicated to all bio students. ;) [WHOS YOUR DADDY?haha.]
2. jung sungha - my love [westlife cover]
3. gym class heroes - cookie jar [these guys are geniuses; love trav MANZ.]
4. meg and dia - roses: lyrics are rather nonsensical, but i think its up to one to interpret it. my fave line being "apples parachute the boys back down."]
5. the script: we cry and the man who can be moved.[unable to get the mv cause the embedding was disabled - AS USUAL.]love both songs cause the first has got a great groove and rhythm to it and the 2nd has rlly meaningful lyrics. cant believe that 2 of the members used to be in a boyband. their sound is so different now.
6. flyleaf - all around me.i think the vid isnt very nice but the song is gd on its own. sometimes the mv destroys your impression of the song. this is probably one gd example. =/
7. jonas brothers - burnin' up [GO AHEAD AND LAUGH.]
8. forever the sickest kids - woah ah ! [me vs. everyone]
>>>WOAH WOAH WOAH, WHY DO I PUT MYSELF IN THESE SITUATIONS?
9[i]. crush - david archuleta [seemingly boring but alright.]
9 [ii]. david cook - always be my baby [i didnt want to include the judges comments, but its what makes COOK = AMERICAN IDOL 7 !!! awesome dood.] (^^)
10. 1,2,34 [feist; acapella cover] this inspires me muchmuch to be in an acapella group when i go to uni. ;) SINGING is a joy to be shared.
11. and guess what?>>> tom felton of HP fame can actually hold a tune. personally, he sounds like sondre lerche. so laidback and folk-sy. HEARHEAR. [when i close my eyes, he sounds better.] :P
________________________________________
and then thrown in for good measure as well as relaxation. ;)
>>> hand shadows [amazing yeah? thngs people do when they are rlly boredHAHA.]
>>> fat geek in the pink who can sing its amazing. :O
funny how i always have to end off with a JM related thngy. i miss him. :( this one has "im yours" with a whole bunch of ppl on stage and he sings this "3 little birds" short + wierd noises that ALSO HAPPENED ATSINGFEST! (^^)
everytime i pass by fort canning park, i get heartache. =/ [must be serious.]
leaving for a hiatus to mug. praying that i dont retain. YUCKS. =X

hah i like all your tag replies abt gaspard. sometimes we all need a little eye candy in our lives and i feel obliged to provide some HAHA. ;)
anws, its 11 plus and im awake. resigning to the fate of a typical jc student. here i am debating whether i shld continue my EOM for PW [a new one FYI, after my 3 drafts] and typing fast so that my father doesnt realise im using the com for other purposes besides studying.
YUCKS. didnt i say i hate studying already?
one more time someone labels me a mugger and i might just come after you with a chainsaw. i like my life to be colourful and less stressful. thats why i wanna be an angmoh.
kk bb for now.
got to listen to jyn's woes and try and recover frm thumping headache.

I DIG THIS FREE FEELING. ;)
[editor's note: the good blogskins seem to have sme problems. ARGH. =/ ]
it has been said in the newsapapers that the ting tings are gonna be in singapore [most likely] early next year.
I SAY - GOOD NEWS FOR MUSIC LOVER LIKE ME ! ;)
________________________________________
above are some pics of the nike human race charity run. enjoy. ;)
so it all started on a few mths before august even started. i heard/read sme where about how BLG wld be coming to s'pore to perform. i think it is kind of a blessing in disguise. anws, i told hamster abt it and subsequently - dawn and gen. gen cause she wld SMEHW be going for the charity run and dawn cuz she hasnt rlly experienced a live gig before and i think she was enticed by the idea of THIS. ;)
FF to present day 31st aug. i SKIPPED ocip team bonding outing just for this VERRRRYYYY special occasion. i was in a serious dilemma okay, but now - I DONT REGRET IT A SINGLE BIT ! =P had class chalet in the afternoon so i went to pasir ris for a while, thinking i wld be able to flex my MJ prowess [mre like lack thereof] but guess what?
WE DECIDED TO CYCLE. and i had to do that in my skinnies. EAAARRRGGH. =/ not exactly the best outfit to do vigorous leg movements in. but we did that for only 1 hr with a slight break in between - which we spent some time at the playground, FEELING DIZZY.
left at arnd 5 plus with dawn [HOT AND SWEATY]. met boon ling, yu qi, yu ai and jasmine at the bus stop. worried that we wld be late for the performance cause the train ride took quite a long time.
arrived at city hall at abt 6 plus. throngs of runners were actually filing in from the various exits. that got me panicking. =( but ham was still at tiong [!!!] so we went to breadtalk to get some munchies. then we ALL met up and hurried to the padang. at first there was no sight of any action going on and the VJs frm MTV Asia [Taya and UTT - HOT; haha] were announcing the winners of the marathons in their respective categories. the entire place was barricaded and i doubt we cld enter. called gen and she said we needed a wristband. [this one got us in a MESS.] we wanted to get sme but unsure rlly. the padang looked somewhat A LITTLE empty.
then i heard smthng that was music to my ears - someone mentioned that she was still waiting for BLG and they still havent appeared. [YAY!!!] so we ALL walked towards the right side of the stage. we got near ths traffic junction and ths area where it was restricted to bands that participated in the NIKE race. we were just dily-dalying there and contemplating our next move whn who wld walk by but B. L. G !!! =O
[editor's note: thought you shld knw that the day before ham went to baybeats with her friend and SAW BLG AND TOOK A PIC WITH THEM. WTH right? =P ] but ths time, dawn and hamtotally missed it.
i spotted the tallest member of BLG, paul - guitarist [rightest most] and by golly he is OUTSTANDING literally. then i saw the rest of the members. I KNOW ITS THEM cause paul was wearing the exact same shirt as the one in ham's pic. [EW.] =P then i got star-struck and hyperventilated. i was like >>> "OMG, IT'S BOYS LIKE GIRLS BOYS LIKE GIRLS !" and then i waved to the last guy who [i later on found out] is the drummer of BLG, john.
AND HE WAVED BACK AND SMILED AT ME AND SAID "HEY/HI". [ZOMG !]
then dawn recovered frm her reverie [she was STONING !] and said "hi" in a loud chirpy voice. apparently ham had her back against them. but it didnt matter right HAMOO?
YOU ALREADY GOT A PIC WITH THEM ! (^^)
yeah. next up is a brief summary:
walked to the other side of the padang to get a better view. cldnt get into the compounds. PANICKED. saw ex band sr, zoey/joey [ERRR, I DUNNO HAHA] cause she was one of the crew members. many ppl exiting the padang. wanted to buy 3 brown wristbands frm these 2 strangers and bargained it down frm $30 to $20 [CLAP CLAP] but in the end didnt. dawn ALMOST left. [im sorry friend, will never do ths again. =/ ] waited for the YOUNG crew to disappear and then -
WE GOT IN MIRACULOUSLY WITHOUT ANY PASSES OR ANYTHNG ! =O
amazing right? i cant believe our luck too ! and all this time we were feeling so bummed out. =P and whn i went in, i saw gen almost immediately. was so elated that i ran to hug her. she was worried that she was too sweaty but honestly - SO WAS I ! so finally after the great spy experiment performed [pretty gd i say], a few delays, wierd comments, beat-boxing and throwing of numerous stuff like ipod nanos and nike limited edition shoes - THEY CAME OUT. ;)
woots and they sang quite a few songs - but i only knew arnd 3/4 of them. WTV, it was fun anws. [^ pictures above.] when that ended gen left immediately while we went backstage to try and catch the guys and met TABI ! amazing ! but the guys left pretty fast so we decided to have a walk arnd esplanade, to catch sme last day BAYBEATS action.
AND THEN SAW GWEN. =O [wonder who else can we still meet rlly.] caught a bit of jebediah, an aussie band but left cause we were pretty shagged and there were many smokers. [OKAY, the last pt applied to me mostly.]
