I kind of need to cut my hair, yes? Oh my god, I've been putting it off because I really want a new cut, but I am so terrified of how it will end up. Gahhhh. I hate change.
But anyhoo, TOMORROW IS RYAN CABRERA DAY! I am so stoked to hear him live, like after hearing his songs in 2004/5? Oh gosh, he better play a long set hahaha. :)
K, off to stone and be depressed that YOG is over and I'm alone again.

Maybe it hasn't sunk in just yet. I may never get to see any of these people again. Two freaking weeks, and it just ended. My life may have just ended right then and there. So many things you would want to say to everyone, but never really brought up the courage to. Observing rather than speaking, I think that their lives, they lived it fuller than I have ever lived mine. Maybe it's time to start taking directions from these sort of people. Throw yourself out there to the wolves, run around with a bunch of crazies, that sort of thing. Dye your hair, kill a possum (actually no, that would be illegal)... You know how they say one event can change your life forever? This may be it. This. Right here, right now. No matter how much you try to deny it, your life has changed.
I don't know what else I can say except that I don't want anything to change. This is why I resist change. Change is good, and bad, for all the right and wrong reasons. I don't make any sense.

The Australian crew I work with is just too bloody amazing. :) They are the funniest, chillest guys I've ever met I would think. Sigh, sometimes I wonder if this could never end. It doesn't feel like reality... it's so monotonous it doesn't feel real, if you know what I mean.
But I know life doesn't really treat you nice and give you everything and anything you want... so.
Tom Daley's hot by the way. And he's 16. :o What is this shit?!
This stint really makes me want to join the TV industry. :o

4 more days. I'm not exactly counting down, but it is helluva bittersweet feeling when everything comes to an end. You know? Like how you wish it would have gone on forever, and how everyone won't leave? But then you're glad that it's actually over, but it being over means there are exams looming... and
RYAN CABRERA!!!
Yeah, so... I'm not sure how I'm going to be ending this, possibly on a positive note?
We have moved to Toa Payoh for diving sessions now, it's shitty as hell, but the food's better than at Singapore Sports School? But there was more privacy at the SSS, I love that place now that I'm in Toa Payoh Sports Stadium. The Stadium's just hot, hot, hot. I have never smelt better. 8)
Oh, and the thing is, we have these insane breaks in between sessions and it's just a waste of time... so I have to think of better things to do. It's been ending late these couple of days, and so will the next few. :(
Anyway, I did not manage to get pictures with any athletes because I was busy helping to pack, and also because I guess I didn't have the courage... :(
I wish I would though. It was so easy, just 7 words... 'can i take a photo with you?'
guess i'm stupid.

Just a short and sweet update on life so far. It's going pretty well I would say... provided I could sleep in just that bit longer. Sigh...
But yes, I've fallen somewhat sick, runny nose and sore throat. They seem to always come at the same time, which sucks, but at least drinking so much water helped drive the sore throat away. But the nose is still irritatingly itchy and blocked. :(
Not to mention I have a huge zit at the side of my nose that just popped up two days ago.
Omg, I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm not supposed to have these kinds of things. :'(
So swimming sessions day and night have taken a toll on me, but I am actually starting to enjoy work more and more. But it'll all be over in 6 days!!! :o I'm only starting to get to know the crew and make friends with them! Besides, I haven't gotten my picture with my Zac Efron lookalike!!!
Guy with weird name, but cute! :) (obviously not in this photo, but he is!!!)
Grrr... courage xh, where's the courage?
But anyway, I am hoping to put up some pictures soon!

oh my god i'm starting to be more chummy with everyone at work... one of them even mentioned that i'm getting noisier by the day hahaha, which is good i guess... took me long enough hurhur.
i must go out with a positive attitude from now on. there's just no use in wasting my time fretting over stuff that will make me feel sad or angry or frustrated. i've been reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, can you tell? that book is amazing, really puts life into a whole new perspective, and you see that every single time you try not to realise your destiny, your heart suffers the greatest.
anyway, i actually got to use the camera today! :o like those handheld cameras that they put on their shoulders and walk around taking shots of the swimmers one by one? omg these things are awesome awesome awesome shizz. it takes years of practice to steady the camera and be adept at it. gosh. i'm so glad i got to have a go at it hohoho! :)
rained really heavily today, and was quite unexpected.
but nonetheless, tomorrow will be a better day!
gambatte!

she likes to dance all by herself cos' she's a party girl.
I heart McFly so much I can die. They are fucking great live, and is that Danny with a new tattoo on his arm? Oh my god I never noticed it before.... fail fan.
This song just grows on you day by day. :)

Sometimes it gets hard，but that's how life is innit？

I am just so tired after work these couple of days. Ever since I've started, I can't seem to remember what day it is, what time it is, or the date... I have to constantly remind myself that it is Saturday, it is Friday etc... It's like I'm braindead... doing something repeatedly does that to you?
I heard The Click Five over the phone today. Trecia called me from SCAPE. It was so cool even though I mostly heard screaming, but I also heard them singing "I Quit! I Quit! I Quit!" and the chorus, and most of the rest of the song... hehehe. :)
Autograph session!!! I wish I went, could have shook their hands. eeeee. Missing lots of chances. David Choi also damn it.
Okay, byebye. I have to be in stupid Woodlands by 6.30am tomorrow I reckon. -.-

Day 2 of YOG - Not too bad!
Well, it was bad in the morning. I woke up early, got ready, headed out. Trained to Woodlands, got on this bus 168, and got to the Sports School, but DID NOT GET DOWN. So the bus turned out into the.... HIGHWAY. I was like SHIT. I missed my stop.
Took me 10 minutes and hell lots of internal struggles and yelling in my head to finally stop at an ULU place at Seletar. I have never been there in my life and I do not intend on going back EVER. Who knew there was such a place in Singapore. The whole time the bus was travelling on the highway I was cursing myself, and hoping that at the next junction it would turn out into civilisation again, but it didn't!!!!
God did answer my prayers, and let the bus turn, but so ulu, no taxi at all. So I prayed for a taxi, after 5 minutes did 1 come. -.- I was like *rushes without any concern for traffic* for the taxi. Sigh... in the end was 15 minutes late? And spent $10 just for travelling on the highway. STUPID BUS I HATE WOODLANDS. It's not fit for human living.
At least I was assigned stuff to do! Lots of stuff actually... wooo. Not too bad. Managed to pass the time.
And it's pretty alright; I get to see cute swimmers everyday and relax a little.
Lunch not as good as MBS, but... we'll make do!
I think YOG is going to be fun fun fun! And hopefully can still see David Choi? Fingers crossed!!! :(

I'm starting my internship with YOG tomorrow... I feel excited and scared at the same time... but I guess this will be major practice for the internship (school wise) in October. I really need to get out of my shell/comfort zone. :/
In any case, I will be busy these couple of weeks, seeing as how my fellow comrades who have started earlier than me are actually coming home late and stuff. How am I supposed to go see The Click Five / David Choi with all these going on? THEY HARDLY EVER COME TO SINGAPORE!!!! :o
Man, I wish they came like a bit later.
Have to go now. I'm supposed to be doing other things.

Today was one of the very last presentations I ever will make as an MCM kid from NP.
Like, seriously.
Wow.
Impactful much?
But I don't know why, during the presentation I was breathless in trying to get my words out... and everyone noticed because I was literally hyperventilating. Quite embarrassing really, because it shows that I'm nervous and I guess I was a little nervous... but more so concentrating on getting my words out right.
And after the presentation the teacher was all, good job, great presentation; and it was then that I realise that I had been carrying this burden for the past couple of days. You know how you get when you suddenly feel like everything that has been weighing on your shoulders suddenly is taken off? I really felt that way today. Like... I didn't even notice I felt so heavy, until everything was over and I realised hey, I actually feel relaxed and happy for once in a long time. :o It's a great feeling.
Still, there's stuff to be done, and it's not the end, so...
I'm just going to make the best out of everything that comes along. I really like this optimism I'm having. Makes everything look a little brighter, sound a little nicer, taste a little sweeter. :)
World peace.

Friday was stressful, more so because we had a presentation, sort of like trying to secure a business deal, for an Effective Negotiation module. I don't know why I even bother. :/ Nobody bloody cares about IS modules anyway, and I'm right there fretting over every little thing. And when it came to the presentation / negotiation, all I could do was stare at the "investor". Shit, I wish I was more vocal sometimes because what teachers see is that moment, and not the behind-the-scenes shit where we spend so much time doing up a proposal/presentation slides. Words just failed me.
Saturday was for the HYPED Up! Flea for the launch of the 31st issue of Hype. I have at least 3 articles in there, so go read it! One Glee article, one on pies, and one YOUTUBE STARS article wooo! I count at least 5 pages in that magazine to be mine! :) I'll post a picture... the design is amazing actually, all designed by students, some by Dawn Michelle Lazaroo!!! ;)
stolen from ky's blog hehehe.
I wish I had interviewed Katy Perry. That would have been totally awesome! :) But at least I got to email David Choi. :o Who's coming down for like two weeks?! I must meet him in person to listen to his sets, but the thing is, I'll be volunteering for YOG. Fingers crossed I'll be free on one of his performing days.
The flea was stuffy. :o But it seemed cool to me, so congrats to the team who put it together. I bought a basic tee at Uniqlo, it was on sale! I love Uniqlo stuff, but sometimes it's sort of expensive. :( Nonetheless! I was with SM, Mel & Ky. Went home after to go out again for dinner with the family. We went all the way to Bedok for goodness sake! Just to eat Hokkien Mee that was supposedly authentic. Hong Kong chef, Malaysian owner... it was alright... But the location (beside a huge canal), made me feel like I was in Malaysia... in those little kampongs by the sea? I guess that was what they were aiming for, with wooden boards underneath our feet... Had black pepper crab, VERY peppery... and filling too. And a vegetable, and sweet and sour pork! :)
Took a detour to East Coast Park's food village to eat char kuay tiao but didn't in the end because no parking.
Then home.
Sunday was a totally chill day. At least I manage to complete my Advertising case study assignment. The whole day it was like cold and rainy, which was one of the best days to start the month of August!!! :) I wish for more days like August the 1st! :)
Today, nothing much. Headed to school in the morning to try and finish up the presentation we will have tomorrow. Oh my goodness, I don't know why I feel so relaxed about it. :(
But anyway, pictures!!!
I think the first ever anime that got me hooked, and I watched all the episodes of Fushigi Yuugi. Someone in school mentioned it a couple of weeks before, prompting me to reminisce about my secondary school days. I remember falling for Tamahome. :) So gorgeous, how not to ey? :)
Have also been watching Kaichou Wa Maid Sama! And Usui Takumi is so so so so awesome! :)
Darn it, I'm not supposed to be going through an anime phase NOW. This should have happened like, years ago. -.- Damn damn damn. What is wrong with me?
Oh yes, I've also watched Ouran High School Host Club. Yay me! It was a bloody good show with so much potential but the anime had to end there. -.-
Tamaki Suoh!!! :)
I love the Hikaru & Kaoru and Mitsukuni Haninozuka (Honey-senpai) and Takashi Morinozuka (Mori-senpai)!!!! Sorry Kyouya Ootori, not really a fan of you heh...
Okay, I guess that's enough of pictures? :)
If you wanna see my film stuff, go to my
flickr! :)
