today we played with lighting in locvid!
i had fun. :]
there are pictures, but then i'm too lazy to upload them.
sorry!
haha.
anyway, our final project is all locked down!
am quite pleased with what my group came up with!
i was visualizing it in my head while they were talking.
and they were saying i was so quiet.
oh well.
then in gracom, we had to wait outside while group after group
went in for consultation with the lecturer and also to get back the logo designs.
i was thinking if i would get a D or an E...
but then when i went in to see, I got a C!
both for logos and bauhaus!
i was damn relieved man!
honestly, 60% of the final mark is NOTHING to be kidding about.
but i'm glad, like... okay, maybe i could have done better!
but at the time, it was the best...
i have a lot on my hands right now...
what with CATS and MEDSOC and MARCOM+GRACOM combined.
and i know there's more.
but oh well, let me rest for one damn night la k?
by the way, if anyone bothers, go listen to
JONAS BROTHERS "BURNIN' UP"
I guarantee you'll like it!
I'm kind of getting into the whole JoBro scene! ;D
yay!!!!
all in all was a good day.
oh and i passed marketing test!
even if it was by 3 marks.
I PASSED. PERIOD.
Thursday, June 26, 2008 11:26 pm

i've been holding back these tears
only to shed them in my bed at night
nobody knows about the pain i hide
it's crushing, oh so fatally.
i fake a smile every time they ask
the sorrow does not show on my mask
in the darkness i can be myself
for there are no eyes to judge
and the tears can then start to fall
as i think of all the hurt
for what is a secret when you tell everybody
12:21 pm
i feel lonely even in the midst of people.
this doesn't seem right.
somehow i think i'm detaching myself from friends.
or are they the ones doing so?
i don't know.
i'm even having doubts about this whole path i've taken.
can i make it?
or will i break down even before i reach that finish line?
david cook's voice is so soothing right now.
even if the song doesn't make sense in this context.
it's times like these when i ask myself if this is how i wanted my life to turn out.
maybe something went wrong along the way.
i mean, i'm not exactly enjoying myself here.
or maybe sometimes i am.
the friendships seem to be held only by a very thin thread.
it's breaking.
definitely.
and i don't know what to do to mend it.
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 10:20 pm
i really should be studying for medsoc, but here i am, blogging.
you know i can't resist not telling you what is going on in my life.
ha.
but who am i really right?
k, just a quick one then.
i'm really hoping to pass medsoc tomorrow.
and i mean it.
c'mon, i HAVE to do well in something!
and though medsoc is seriously not my favourite subject...
i guess i have to make an effort.
all the hopes are pinned on me!
bon voyage to elena who's leaving wednesday morn (US time) to wherever she's going in Europe.
lucky her, flying across the globe, while i am stuck in this miserable life doing miserable things.
oh yes, i exaggerate, but what's there to do?
this isn't going very well, look at all the grammar mistakes...
i am disgusted.
so i'mma go now. ;]
byebye.
Monday, June 23, 2008 6:54 pm
not a good day to start the week, if i may say so.
but that's probably an understatement.
the rest of the week will be hellish.
and so will next week, and the week after next, and so on and so forth until the 2 month long break.
god help me.
to think i never actually knew about the adapted project deadline today proves how much a twat i am.
i mean, i go on Mel, but i never bothered to check!
what the heck.
i had to come back home from school and grab the storyboard and talent release forms and head out again.
but thanks to my mom whom i love to bits but never said it to her much, i got to school again by car.
well, 'nuff said.
i have loads to do.
feels like it, once you get reminded of all the projects and deadlines that will be arriving soon like the plague.
i can't find any words to express my distaste at the month of July.
on a side note, chace crawford, sigh.
that made my day a little better saying his name.
oh that and getting a bunch of Narnia postcards from the Sports Complex too.
was really surprised and quickly grabbed all 3 designs.
may go back for more. :o
you know you love me,
xoxo

the music industry is clever man.
the lyrics are matched with a catchy beat,
and they repeat it over and over again so that it gets stuck in your head,
whether you like it or not.
*rolls eyes*
3:08 pm
newly revamped blog...almost!
check out new banner (which i made) above!
awesome or what?!
i took an ass-in' long time to finish that okay, so don't STEAL!
chace crawford is hothothot!
new icons, new song lyrics, new youtube vids...
i haven't had time to change my bio and shizz though, sorry!
maybe next time.
it's end of holidays and back to school!
somehow i think time has passed too fast. ;(

Lament
please know that i didn't mean to hurt you with my harsh, blunt words.please tell me that you don't hold it against me one bit.
cos' it's breaking my heart, every minute, every second,
to not know what you're thinking about me after what i've put you through.
don't say it's over, but i don't want to sound desperate.
it was one mistake, babe, just one.
is what we have so fragile, so fragile?
like a candle flame to the winds, blown out, blown out.
if it is unable to work out between us,
will we still be friends in the morning?
or will we be passing each other without a glance along corridors
of the past, where broken hearts lay, beating its last.
i shall hope not, i shall pray so;
may this be resurrected and recovered once more.
for it was one mistake, just one babe.
i've forgiven myself, have you me?
12:44 pm
www.teenchoiceawards.com
go go go!
vote vote vote!
i'd say chace crawford, blake lively, taylor swift, jesse mccartney, hayden panettiere, gossip girl, sarah connor (terminator), thomas dekker ALL DESERVE TO BE VOTED FOR! :}
hopefully jesse gets male artist, taylor swift gets breakout artist or whatever she's in for.
and chace crawford gets male hottie or whatnot.
yay!

some days, when i'm feeling down;
my mind wanders,
always to thoughts of you.
your smile,
never fails to lift me up;
and those eyes,
i'd gladly drown in your blues.
lucky streak today huh?
i've even got a small tune to this one :]
hopefully the songwriting schmooze is coming back yo!
xo
10:03 pm
you close the door behind youand i start to get these flashbacks
where have i seen this before?
my head hurts, trying to recall
the last time we talked on the phone
just what had we talked about?
save this,
this burning of a love so jaded
would you save this
would you
would you, babe?
9:48 pm
the tuesday interview with ky's cats lecturer, who is also a film director/writer went okay.
i mean, how awkward can it get?
i imagine it must have been much worse for ky herself.
poor thing.
and i know you might think i'm a little boring that day, or annoying.
i'm sorry!
i'm not that kind of person really!
ohwell, even i find myself boring, what would others feel after getting to know me better?
maybe that's why i can't get like, really great solid friendships.
maybe i'm not trying hard enough.
maybe i'm just being a bitch and not knowing it.
maybe i'm just fucking boring.
yes, i totally suck.
there, lowering one's self-esteem by making oneself feel rotten.
great.
had a haircut today.
alright i guess.
kind of short now. ;(
but at least the fringe is right now.
in times like these, listening to david cook's always be my baby definitely soothes the soul.
i don't know why but i find that song extremely calming for the nerves.
must be my "soulsong".
like, you know "soulmate", "soulsong"?
lame.
okay, got to do some locvid forms.
out

10:17 pm
just had dinner with my aunt and her family to celebrate her birthday.
there was chili crab, sharks' fin, drunken medicinal prawns, sweet & sour pork (my fave) and roast chicken.
phoar!
yummy, but oh so fattening.
i've been telling myself to take time out to go running, but i can't bring myself to do it. :(
lately, i have been so busy with projects and stuff, i can't exactly think of when i last had a REAL break.
:(
but not that i'm complaining....yet.
okay, i think the mix of seafood is starting to act up!
blog sometime soon!

music recommendations;
forever the sickest kids
awesome band and i totally loved believe me i'm lying.
don't know what IDKAYBICTD stands for... it's such a weird title for a song.
i think i'm starting to get into the indie band scene manxz.
metro station
loved seventeen forever, reminded me of edward cullen from twilight.
ha, now isn't that title so fitting? :]
we the kings
yay! more from we the kings! :] i still think check yes juliet is their best so far though.
but then again, i haven't exactly listened to all their songs in full detail.
so, :}
the maine
yes, this band is great!
i think the lyrics for the way we talk was well-written. <3
the morning light
woosh, the love is really soothing to listen to! ;]
and the rest are to my liking as well!
so i guess this is all that you're going to get from me this week!
i'm beat!
signing out, yo!
xoxo
EDIT; stupid blog, all the titles i wrote are gone. but oh well, check out their myspace and you'll know what i'm talking about.
lazy to write it again. ;]
9:13 pm
surprise visit from cousin hilary and cousin christine and family yesterday.
was it yesterday?
i can't remember already.
i know we had dinner on friday, and they stayed at ours. :}
really good to see them again, even though it was for such a short while ;(
christine left for the states at round 650am today.
we had to wake up round 4 plus to send her off!
was really fun, but i've been disorientated the whole day.
definitely something one should not try.
sad to see her go, don't know when we'll get to see them all again.
but never mind, technology these days, brilliant!
today was hectic man; their car broke down when they were going back, around Jurong.
and there was a jam at the immigration about the whole day?
they left at 4pm instead of like 8am or so.
hope they reached safely.
hilary and her 'rents that is. ;}
pity they couldn't stay longer. :(
but anyway, zhanli was soooo chatty, almost couldn't stand it!
but then again, he's so cute i forgive him. ;}
next: music recommendations! i have some great bands for y'all to check out!

I watched Prince Caspian on Wednesday with Kar Yan.
I have to say, the movie was awesome!
It was darker than the first, was more edgier, but oh my goodness, so much eye candy!
There was Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian), who is currently the fave hot guy on my list!
Of course, William Moseley as Peter (KING Peter to you, if you may) was *sigh* hot as well!
He WAS kind of emo-ISH at the beginning, I guess he was frustrated that he could not go back to Narnia.
I felt he was quite annoying at the beginning, but then hohoho, he was back to being the Peter I liked in the first movie.
KY and I were talking and gesturing during the movie, I hope nobody behind us was yearning to tell us off.
I don't know if we were loud... never really talked during a movie.
I'm NOT going to watch a movie with you la KY anytime soon... haha.
I actually SQUEAL when I'm in the movies with her.
And I, do NOT squeal.
I will say that it is WORTH it to watch!
Especially the ending where Prince Caspian and Susan finally had some romantic scenes.
It was so obvious that they liked each other!
GRR.
I was even half expecting Caspian to like appear in the REAL world to either;
a) find Susan or
b) Prince Caspian lookalike who also likes Susan in the real world.
:}
brings a huge "aww" to mind.
I'm really glad I caught that.
Next on my list will be the Adam Sandler flick, Penelope starring James McAvoy,
The Dark Knight (highly anticipating), Forgetting Sarah Marshall etc etc.
Met up with the girls today!
Only xy, can, dawn and ting came. ;(
We had loadsa fun though!
I was happy to be in the presence of familiarity.
but then it brings back a rush of loneliness and distantness.
I know it's weird to be feeling this way, but it's true.
Soon it will all fade to cease at all.
It's only passing faces and blurring memories,
of what used to be, of what would have been.
Don't, don't look at that way they say,
but it's true, it'll happen, someday.
xoxo
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:37 am
let me recount some more important and classic stuff over the weekend. ;]
SATURDAY:
after printing, i finally gave in and bought myself a capo for 20 bucks.
see? i'm really reluctant to buy something that cost 20 bucks.
you must be thinking, "what a cheapskate."
ha, this is called wise planning okay?
:}
anyway, i'm liking the new notes i can play with my capo! ;}
checked HMV to find jmc's latest offering, and boy, it wasn't the special edition. :(
i'll wait a while and see if there's a special edition, because i don't want to end up regretting. ;}
i CAN wait.
really! :]
i also found ryan cabrera's latest album.
oooh, the money i wish i had. :}
hm, what else.
oh, yes; i felt really cool to be carrying a huge yellow art friend plastic bag on the bus home.
don't know why, but, yeah, haha!
SUNDAY
woke up feeling a little less stressed than the day before.
started doing my essay for bauhaus and last minute stuff.
headed out round 4 plus to my dad's friend's place in YISHUN.
phoarrr.
went to sembawang to have dinner.
the pub was really in a secluded area, but surrounded by residential houses.
weird, but true.
BUCKAROO, it was called, if i remember correctly.
i wish i had a DSLR, then i would be able to take really nice pictures. :}
with the skills of course.
the fish and chips was HUGE. :]
i was careful to only eat the fish inside, and not the skin.
it was really oily i think?
but anyway, the chicken wings were spicy to the max! :o
they even had level 1, level 2 and so on of degree of hotness!
ooh.
MONDAY
well, woke up, packed everything, left for school.
met with a couple of friends to finish up the mounting of my designs and shizzle.
at least we finished before the 4.30 deadline.
went to digitize our film that we did on friday.
coolness.
then ky and i stayed back to like... talk about medsoc.
right until 6+++
sigh.
but okay, it was a good day.
just that i fell asleep round 930.
never thought that i'd feel so tired. :(
my body is deprived of sleep mate.
;(
TUESDAY! TODAY!
wanted to watch narnia, but mom doesn't seem to be too keen... :/
oh well, watching it tomorrow then.
i'm thinking of cutting my hair when holidays are almost over.
my fringe has been giving me trouble since day 1.
i wanted it to sweep to the side, but ugh, it's just limp.
i'll probs have to grow it longer first.
but i think i'mma layer my hair more.
it's getting thick and unsightly.
[",]
I FEEL GOOOOOOOD!
because today's FREEEEEEEEE day!
no need to worry so much about anything!!!!
X}
lovelove,
xh
Saturday, June 07, 2008 10:04 pm
found a great band and more mcfly news!i recommend good music, or so ky says haha! :]
so now that i've found a great band to listen to, i'm going to share it with you all!
Said The Whale hails from Vancouver, Canada.
Their music is kind of indie, rock, acoustic which is a good combination!
Personally, my favourite was This Winter I Retire and This City's A Mess.
Definitely a band to look out for! ;}
McFLY!
their new single, "One For The Radio" comes out 14 July!
their new album comes out July 21st!
i think it's only the UK though.
nevertheless, it's great that they're active again!
i lovelovelove their new sound! :}
my favourite line from the song so far is danny singing "light speed, out of my mind; i'm hurt, but i'll be fine."
the chorus is good too, but the line above... i can hear it over and over and still fall in love with it each time.
it's danny's voice, d-uh!
and that particular melody there is really... different.
i know maybe you can't tell, but i don't know how to put it in words.
it just, tugs at the heartstrings?
pulls at the seams of my heart?
haha.
nevermind.
go listen to it, and support mcfly!
9:55 pm
i'm sorry for not blogging these couple of days.
i've been feeling like shitty stressed.
but at least much of the worse has gone into past tense.
i've still got things to do, but the crucial part is over.
gracom: i'm not happy with the printing.
expensive and ugh.
oh well, i'll be happy with a B.
that is if i can even get a B.
i think i may end up with a C. :(
it does not look good on any report card whatsoever.
but what can i do, the deadline's monday.
locvid: we filmed yesterday! :] thank you canida for your help!
you were a natural!!! ;} i do owe you lunch, as i've been saying. ;}
it was really good to meet you too by the way! ;)
we had problems at the start, and thought we were screwed.
really tired, but then it was fun, worth it! ;]
mr d even said it was good technically!
just that it was kind of short. ;(
we'll do the best editing we can to show him the great video! ;}
i slept at 3 saturday morning.
woke up round 730 plus because i was supposed to meet KarYan, but i kind of lost track of time.
had my dad send me to bugis to rush out my designs and write-ups.
it's amazing what one can do in a short amount of time.
but still, it didn't come out the way i expected. ;(
honestly, it's kind of ugly, and i don't know what to do to explain the concept! ;/
spent a shitload just on printing and mounting boards and shinnymadingy.
i'm going to take a well-deserved break for a few days, and then start mugging again.
i've been slacking off, really.
i want to do well, i really do. i can't let anyone down.
i must do this for myself.
:|
Wednesday, June 04, 2008 11:38 pm
i feel like crying!
i KNOW i have probably about a million things to do, but i can't seem to remember anything!
it's that very annoying feeling where you just can't put your finger on.
it's not a very nice feeling, to be perfectly honest.
on another note, i want to go to SINGFEST 2008 this year! :]
but the tickets are like 150 for one day, 200 for 2 days. :(
and i bet there'll be like, millions of people there at the outdoor concert. :(
but then again, the line-up is really cool this year!
like, Alicia Keys, Simple Plan, One Republic, Lost Prophets, Panic at The Disco, and and Jamie Scott...
GRR!
and i personally hate crowds with a passion.
it's going to be really hot, stinky, and ugh.
i just can't imagine getting pushed into a mosh pit or something.
it's just dead gross, and i'm not fierce enough to squeeze or protect myself.
:(
marketing comm was dumb.
i think i might fail it.
but i want a perfect GPA! :(
MUSTMUSTMUST study.
buck up girl, i know you can do it.
:]
---------------
motivation in the life of a girl means a lot.
much more than you'd think.
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 11:03 pm
i'm so screwed for marketing.
so much so that it's not even funny anymore.
and i'm wasting more time by writing this.
guess i'll be able to get more in in school.
dang.
here's another song for the radio
and here's another line from the heart
so don't pretend you hate us when we sing our songs
cos we all look the same in the dark.
11:05 am
first up!
McFly have a new single coming up! :}
apparently they released the exclusive radioplay to bbc radio or something.
the song's all over youtube.
IT'S FRIGGIN' AMAZING! X}
i'm diggin' their new direction of music.
it's, phoarrrr. ;D
definitely special and unique, like the boys are. ;}
i'm sorry if you can't understand! :/
they have been a great inspiration for me personally.
so they do mean a lot.
LOVELOVELOVE! :D
enjoy this "ONE FOR THE RADIO".
--------
french today, marcom tomorrow; EEP.
--------
i come home to find
coffee cups sitting on the tabletop
and the clothes that form a trail on the floor
right up to our bedroom door.
i shudder to think of what's going on inside.
would you be thinking of me at a time like this?
perhaps you're much too lost in her embrace
i tried my best to hate you, but i can't forget your kiss
you've left me stranded in a place
i never wanted to be in
xoxo
Sunday, June 01, 2008 7:47 pm
okay, as promised, i'll post music recommendations eh! :]
i know i've been slacking off the whole day.
but i did get up early to exercise.
went with my family to the bridges at telok blangah.
gosh, it's sooooo dumb.
but oh well.
at least i can say i've been there.
don't need to make a shirt about it though, thank you very much.
&music recommendations;
one; sweet caroline | cover by david archuleta
i don't know why, but after watching fever pitch starring drew barrymore last night,
i've been wanting to hear this song by him.
and it's really funny to follow what they did in fever pitch; that is to sing *ba, ba, ba* after david sings "sweeeet carolineeee". aiya, the trumpet part la.
two; 6 minutes | by the jonas brothers
i know it's a little late, seeing as this was from their first album and all.
but i recently started liking their music a little more than before.
so this was another cool song that i like.
others include "hello beautiful" etc.
three; everything by jesse mccartney
shamelessly promoting his album for him.
WHY?!
haha, but anyway, it's supposedly quite good!
i've heard clips of a few songs, and i'm liking the vibe of "how do you sleep" and... i can't remember... oh yes. "it's over".
apparently personal!
but ya, go get the album!!!
i'm getting it sooooon.
i'm going to do some work now, so that i don't feel so guilty on wednesday when i have my friggin' test.
so not looking forward to it.
i leave you with an awesomely funny video.
we were shown this during marketing, believe it or not. ;]
The conversation's getting stale
If you won't point it out, then I will
