  • MMM (March Music Madness)

    2009-04-04 10:40PM / 會員可以看

    The month of March was indeed full of music madness going on, so here are some pics to sum it all up



    here's my friend's band - King Kong Jane - performing at the beautiful Esplanade outdoor theatre for a "Speak Good English" campaign (yea, we Singaporeans need that)



    King Kong Jane once again, performing at at live TV show called "Live n Loaded" (which promotes the local music scene in Singapore)




    The All-American Rejects! came here for a short stint, for the launch of a new Nokia phone (which comes with lot of free songs for download)
    love their latest single "Gives You Hell".


    Then came the 2 concerts that I was totally looking forward to - Jason Mraz and Coldplay.

    Both were awesome!!! They were such great performers and entertainers. Jason Mraz used mainly his voice (which was amazing when he did that opera solo for his song "Mr. Curiosity"), and at the same time knew how to move the crowd.  Coldplay used more of stage antics, such as huge yellow balloons flying around when they sang "Yellow", and moving around a lot to please the crowd on every side of the stadium.




    Here's a shot of the stage from where i was (and this was already zoomed to the max), yea, i was THAT far away. But i still enjoyed the concert to the max.



    Well the best part of course, was meeting Mr.A-Z himself   *Dies in peace*  =D


    No more concerts for me, though i'm very tempted to go for OASIS, but I'm quite broke from all the concerts i've been to so far for the year. Shall take a break for now.


    Meanwhile, looking forward to a great Good Friday weekend next week!  Hong Kong, here i come (after 5 years).   H&M here i come!!!

  • mid-year resolutions

    2008-04-16 12:12PM / 會員可以看

    (this entry was written at 1145pm on Tues night)

    was supposed to be sleeping,
    after being in the freeeaking cold exam hall for 2 1/2 hours today while it was pouring and thunder-ing outside, my head was pounding madly and so i just took some panadol pills, about to go to sleep, but realised i have too many thoughts to be cleared before i can actually fall asleep.

    so speaking of EXAM,
    i (still) can't believe it, that i almost missed my paper (french) today!!! i have NO IDEA how i always had the thought that my paper was on wednesday. so even while i was checking the exam venue and seat number before i left home today, i did NOT notice the DATE! while i was out trying to STUDY (thinking i still have a lot of time till tomo), i got a msg from my dear classmate Amanda telling me that she'll see me at 5pm right? i was like, OMFG. the paper is TODAY! called her to double-check, though i was pretty sure i made a mistake. and yes, i made the biggest booboo ever, in my last semester of sch! and luckily it was still a few hours away to the paper, so i had time to make my way to sch. omg, Amanda, you are my life-saver! i should also be thanking the lucky stars for blessing upon me because if i ever miss this paper, i'd have to pay sch fees for another semester just to re-take this paper! yes, STUPID char. BIMBO char. WTF was wrong with me??

    anyways, at least it's finally over and i DID take the paper, so i could AT LEAST pass, i hope (fingers crossed).

    so that was the DRAMA for the day.

    now for the thoughts running through my head..

    well, FYP and school is officially over (one more paper on friday), 4 years of school, just like that. so what's next?

    a cab driver was talking to me about how you have just about 50 years of your life to enjoy life to the fullest and after that it just slows down (as you lose your energy and become bedridden, perhaps). basically, life is short. so we should really think about what we want and can do while we are still young.

    of course, the main priority now is to get a good job so my parents can retire happily and i can pay off my debts. but i do not want to be tied down and be a slave to WORK. At the same time, i want to be doing things that i enjoy, learning new things perhaps, things that i couldn't do as a student because well, money is (almost) everything.

    so i call these mid-year resolutions.

    TRAVEL.
    not many people are fortunate enough to be travelling around when they are still young (and so i really thank my parents for all the experiences that i've had)

    well, i've been fortunate enough to be able to go to Paris to study, when i was 19. and that was a life-changing experience, definitely. totally started my whole love for travelling.

    and then i was also given the opportunity to go work in the US. another great experience. made great new friends, fell in love (and out of love), but still, the greatest memories are always in my head.

    so going for the grad trip to europe next week is almost fulfilling already (given we won't have much time to do this once we start working)


    LEARNING NEW THINGS...
    i want to learn new things, that i've always wanted to. dance/music (any form of dance, and maybe the guitar/piano/drums).

    and of course, the learning process can continue, because i really do (and will) miss school. So yea, I hope to get a masters at some point of time down the road..


    maybe more will come up on the list, but for now that's about it.

    Europe, here i come.
  • case of the ex

    2008-03-31 12:19AM / 會員可以看

    can ex-es ever be friends?

    so i tried to avoid talking to him because i know i'm ready yet, and i will still be affected by anything he says.

    but he initiated a conversation.

    and while i was looking forward to a pure 'just friends' conversation,
    it turns out that he's still the same him.

    telling me about his future plans, about buying a car (which he couldn't when he was with me), about saving up for his own home (which is obviously telling me that i'm not in the picture in his future) and i quote, that "it'd be great" when he's out (of the marines).

    also telling me that "at least he knows his plans and what he's working towards" (emphasizing the fact when he told me that i'm a girl who doesn't know what she wants, indecisive, and not what he's looking for)

    why tell me all these?
    is he trying to "win the breakup"?

    i can't see anymore point of view but the fact that he's still being petty and wants to tell me he's doing better off to somehow spite me and induce some form of reaction from me to make me feel bad.

    and it just further re-affirms my decision, that i've made the right choice.

    he seriously isn't the one for me at this moment, being so young (i think i failed to mention in my previous entries that he is 6 years younger than me) and immature in this thoughts.

    sigh, it's just not meant to be.

    i hope one day he'd come to realise that this is not what love is about.
