Ker

Sigh I really meant "Zebra print-loving". But what came to mind was Ker's reaction whenever she sees Zebra stuff she didn't have, "ZEBRAAAA! ZEBRA!"

So I typed "zebra" and not "zebra print".

Then again, that was in the past. Now her reaction to zebra things would be:

"I already have that!"

Teehee :)

Ker jokingly requested this special post for her, but I still went ahead and did it anyway. Hope you like it! Also decided to test out these wording images I've been planning to do every once in a while to put up on my blog. They came out nice :)

Aw now I feel like doing more for my friends!

Sunrise

Sonia's such a beautiful kid.

I think all the sailors who visited Mrs Sidhu's house for Chinese New Year that day loved playing with her. She's just full of bubbly cuteness!

I finally got to see this girl again yesterday! Felt like forever since I last seen her. We might be catching Dear John this Friday. I can't wait!

Short/Long??

I need help! Here I am, at 4.15am, listening to SHINee's 'Senorita' and 'Love Like Oxygen' (their old album never gets old)while wondering if I should snip off my precious long hair!!

The hair dresser ruined my long hair by snipping off too much of the top, making it too poofed up on top and the shape doesn't flow to the bottom. It looks like I tried to do a layered mushroom head WITH LONG HAIR! Something like MVP Qing Ren's lead actress? That Angella girl? While she was acting in it, but worse, worse, worse!!

After sitting infront of the mirror for like half an hour tying up my hair to make it look like its short and comparing it to my long hair, I thought the short looked better.

But I spent about 5 years growing this damned hair out! Blame Aitong School for not allowing us to keep our hair long! I had a short tomboy bob for 4 years? 2 years before that I had a short bob/cutesie haircut with bangish fringe. How awesome.

I've had (AHEM) Rihanna's hair long before she had it! But.. it was the uncool version of her hair. Ahem.

Decisions, decisions, decisions!!

Nothing's stopping me now except the fact I'll feel empty without my long hair! Like how we girls always put our hair to the front especially when we wear low-cut tops or sleeveless dresses so as to ''cover up'' and not feel so bare?

Ugh..!

That song you Softly Sing is keeping you from Breaking

Life's good when you're just able to lounge around on your bed, listening to your favourite playlist, renamed ''#1'' instead of the old ''For my Daily Listens'' (yes, all my playlists have these really redundant names like 'Boogie!', 'To hustle!', 'For when I'm a Crazy Wreck' and 'Momentarily, it'll pass')

I apologise for the lack of photos. Honestly I've taken many pretty shots and would like to show 'em, but my laptop (named Laptop) has been failing me. Too many songs and photos I presume?

The past few days have been awesome.

Monday will always be the day I'll look forward to because I'll be attending Choonhui's lessons.

She's such an inspirational teacher that I'm talking about her here!

Have you ever had a teacher so fun, wonderful and encouraging that you'd wanna pass/excel just for her? So as not to let her down?

Choonhui makes me feel this way. Two dance lessons and a short conversation made me aspire to be like her. She's the perfect example of who I would like to be. Sigh, I was so awed by her as we had a little chat with her today after class that I heard myself going ''WOOOOW!'' and ''Aah~'' and ''Oh really? Ah that's so cool!'' every few seconds.

So far at SW, Choonhui and Maybelle are my favourite teachers. Though I've not talked much to Maybelle and Glady, I can tell they're pretty friendly teachers. For some reason Glady doesn't seem to be very fond of us. Oops. :(

Digressing from the main topic, I really should stop playing LAN soon (that goes to Ker and Lex too!). I'm not addicted to the game of L4D2, neither am I eager to play it, but the thought of playing with friends always makes it 10 times more fun.

Actually I'm pretty sick of anything to do with online gaming cuz I used to game with the sailors pretty often.. Hm.

Sigh.

I love heart-to-heart sessions with Alex! We had another one today over bubble gum and camwhoring under my block after we played L4D2 at Raiders 'till 10.

For now, life seems good. With good friends, a stronger bond with my family and a poorer luck at anything to do with gambling, I shall conclude that 2010 WILL be a good year.

There is one particular friend of mine I terribly miss though..

Celine, how are you?

Nathan Kress

If you can't tell from my post a few days back, Nathan Kress is my latest eye-candy:

No, not the fat dude. The cute guy in the red shirt!

Yes, I know, I know. I'm 16-going-on-17 and I watch iCarly. But hey, I see a lot of teenagers and adults on the Facebook fanpage for Nathan Kress and they all watch iCarly! HAHA. I came across a photo of this woman who took a self-portrait of her with a piece of paper and it wrote:

"If this makes you feel better, I'm 23 and I still watch iCarly."

Or something like that. Too cute!

My favourite photos of Nathan Kress:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo of him and Fred (from Youtube)!

The shirts are too cute. 'Freddie' and 'Fred'.
That's what the person who edited the photo meant by "We're tight, literally."

DOES HE LOOK GOOD IN THIS PHOTO OR WHAT??!

Can't wait to catch this iCarly episode!
Its iSaved Your Life.

This is THE smile his fangirls swoon over..
*Melts*

Him trying out his new hairstyle.
Believe he's tired of the Fredward Benson hair of fringe-standing-up.

Okay fine in this photo he doesn't look that good in this photo but its my MSN display picture so I don't care I just want to put it up here. Hmph.

I have like a gazillion icons of him, taken off Livejournal Communities. The Groovy Smoothie especially! Can't wait to start making my own icons of him.

On days like this, I love putting my iTunes on shuffle mode.

Love 'rediscovering' some of my 1299 songs. Alex told me that must be why my laptop runs slowly. 1299 songs.. Pfft. I can't help it! I'm a darned music junkie who enjoys quality music.... :\

Dad offered to pay $500 for my MacBook today. I don't know if I should accept the offer. I'm sooooo stubborn that I annoy myself sometimes. Anyway, I'm still waiting 'till March to see if I'm gonna be accepted into NYP before thinking about my MacBook because if I get into their school, I might buy a MBP (MacBook Pro) instead of a MacBook, you see.

Hito says I don't need a MBP for now since I'm just getting it for the basics and the high quality graphics, mainly for photography. Unless I'm doing digital animation or design.

And I persuaded him to get me and Gerald a desktop to share! He was saying, "Huh?? Plus your MacBook and our current Lenovo, you need one more desktop for what?"

Eh, our Lenovo is bullshit now, so of course we need a desktop!

Then you know what he suggests? A second-hand one. Either that OR a $600 desktop. Um..?

Okay I'll admit I just want the desktop cuz it has more space, so I can play Sims and Neopets without the computer lagging on me like my *ahem* Awesome Laptop. Its so Awesome that even NEOPET GAMES make my FireFox lag. How Awesome is THAT!

(Sarcasm totally intended.)


Ah. My mind's blank now. Shall update tomorrow cuz its TIME FOR DINNER!

I'll leave you guys with two photos of Eileen's Haley. I kept forgetting to upload it after editing. Took it the last time Lex and I were at her place.

Because its weird when you Don't Know Where

Being in such a quiet room (with Alex's snoring in the background.. *cough* Teehee) gives me the 'space' I need to think.

Today wasn't a particularly awesome day for me, apart from the fact that me, Ker and Lex cooked a hearty dinner for ourselves. What with that two power shortages and the whole house suddenly turning pitch black every time I flipped the switch for that damned oven and the point of time where I didn't want to turn on the other stove thingy for them to boil water for our mashed potatoes because I was too afraid?

What an experience.

I need to start my daily jogging plus workout routine again. Been slacking a week before Chinese New Year. Oh the joy of the lovely food swirling around in your stomach and slowly digesting to turn into fats... Oh the joy.

Anywho, its annoying when people can't see things from your perspective and give in to you once in a while. They may have all the right to worry, I can't stop that. But there is a limit to what I can take, be it sarcastic or not.

I've been tolerating their (and by 'their', I don't mean my friends) nonsense by looking at the situation from another perspective, telling myself they are right and I am wrong. Why can't they, for once, give in and see how I feel? What I might be going through that they can't sense because I am not telling?

Not something to joke about here- I can only take this much shit.

I'm not used to what's going on around the house and I need to adjust. I would love to take their place any day to let them see how lonely it feels when you're suddenly forced to be alone everyday because someone you were attached to had to go back to her own home, yet expectations are heightened because of such an event.

Yes it may be true that when she was around, all I wished for was to be home alone more often, and if possible, forever. Now that I got my wish, I truly regret it. It sucks to be alone, big time.


The grass is greener on the other side.

But as Ker says, "That is not the case.


We just have to learn to appreciate our own grass."

F is for Friends who do things Together

Recently had a sleepover at Alex's house with Ker.

Unsurprisingly, we stayed up the whole night playing L4D2 at a LAN shop, watching half (or less than half) of My Sister's Keeper, watching Friends, playing Neopets and eating roti prata for breakfast at a shop nearby at around 6 in the morning.

While we watched Friends, Kerrie slowly drifted off to sleep only to be awakened by us to play Neopets together. Every time I laughed at a joke cracked on the show, Alex will crack up and laugh along. I thought she found the jokes funny too when she revealed that she laughed cuz my laughter was really funny.

Typing that out just made me laugh. Aw!


We had an awesome breakfast. I ordered Milo Dinosaur while Kerrie ordered tea(?). Surprisingly, all of us had the same 'Usual' of one kosong and one egg prata!

I've not had such a breakfast in a long time. I love having roti prata for breakfast early in the morning because my dad used to bring me out to eat roti prata whenever I missed the school bus in primary 1. He would offer to drive me to school and as we walked out, he'd suggest bringing me to the roti prata stall just a few blocks behind mine.

Besides that, my gran used to bring me, Mel and Amanda (Neo) for roti prata after we accompanied her for her morning walk/jog. Well okay, MY GRAN would do the exercising. We kids just planted our butts on the swings and modernised versions of sea-saws at the playground.

Cliche as it sounds, eating roti prata at an inhumanely hour (I can use 'inhumanely' for this sentence, right?) makes me feel good inside, bringing back the fond memories I had as a kid.


Okay, back to the main point of this post.

While we om-nom-nomed (Quin^TM) our breakfast, we talked about stuff.

One of them being the fact that the number of friends we could tell absolutely ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to without the fear of being judged or bitched about afterwards are countable by the fingers on our hands.

Me being me, I thought, "Oh hey, the number of friends I could do that to are countable by the fingers on my hand, not hands."

Which is rather true.

They always say, "You graduate from secondary school with the best friends you'll ever make in this lifetime."

Which is also true.

Then again, that statement applies differently for different people.

It sounds sad to be able to count these friends with only one hand, but for me, I'd say I did graduate with some of the best friends I'll ever make in secondary school. The best-est was from primary school. I'm happy to have them as my friends and these are the people I'll make the effort to ask out.

They may be countable with 5 fingers or less, but the thing is I'm thankful for these people and I hope I have impacted their lives the way they impacted mine.

Caleb

Polaroids capture priceless moments.

Sigh this is why I want more. Could the Polaroid 600 & SX-70 Film – Paul Giambarba Edition not cost $37 and $43 respectively?

My Polaroid shots are so precious that I keep them in a photo album. I never touch the picture part of the film and store them away so that they don't get scratched or bent.

Actually, after I start working again next week, I really wouldn't mind blowing off $37 for my film. I'm still wondering if I should buy the Instax Ethel's been trying to sell to me! Pink version I believe? I'm sad that Caleb has been under my shelf for months now.

When I pulled out my Polaroid during Interschools, Bianca and Whatshername from TKGS sailing were telling me the Instax would be worth my money.. But theirs is the Mini. I want the older model, the one that uses the really wide film. SHINee used that on their reality TV show!

More Nathan!

Oh my goodness this was so funny I replayed it like 7 or 8 times.

Nathan Kress I LOVE YOU!

Nonchalant

Nonchalance hitting me like a wave coming towards shore.

(Too much Geography in my head.)

Le sigh, I'm sorry Alex and Ker.

I don't know what's wrong with me. A moment ago I was all smiles while chatting with people via MSN and a moment later, my face was like :| If you look at my face now all you'd see is an expressionless.. expression?

I feel like canceling everything I have on hand tomorrow. I just want to lie down on my bed, read a good book and enjoy music while I do so.

KBox

Can't wait for the next KBox session with the babes.

It was awesome today. Started off with a L4D2 session at Virtualand's arcade. We got to the stage where we had to start this rock concert by Midnight Raiders or something to signal for the helicopter?

We almost got rescued by the helicopter.

Alas, at the last minute, we, dramatically and sadly..

Died.

Infuriating or what??! Yes, I'm serious. Me and Ker died just inches away from that darned 'copter. Don't they understand the whole point of a rescue mission? Go to the needy, not the opposite! Especially when there's the mob of zombies surrounding them is like.. MASSIVE.

KBox and the lan shops are, weirdly, becoming my second (no wait, third. Yes, lets make it third) home.


There was this link on Atiqah's blog and one point I saw on the webpage was this:

• Stand up and move about constantly. Compulsively fidget. It does add up to an estimated extra 500 calories burned a day. Twitch your leg while studying, for example. Also, sit up straight - you'll burn more calories

Gerald Neo, does this explain why you're so skinny?

Damn, the boy can't eat one spoonful of rice without dancing around the hall for like 20 minutes. No wonder he takes at least 1hr 40min to finish dinner, and no matter how late or how much he eats, he never grows fat.

Time to join my brother on the mealy (we have daily, hourly, so now I add mealy) 'Gerald Dance'.

Justin Bieber and a bit of Jennette McCurdy!

I don't know why people say Justin Bieber has an awful voice and so on when this video just proves the opposite:



I still think he's a good singer! And cute too. Except for the fact that his voice's still pretty high-pitched for a 15 year-old.. but I guess that's normal. Even Dylan and Cole Sprouse broke their voices like last year or something??

Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress are currently my favourite Nickelodeon stars so far. Oh, not forgetting Jamie Lynn Spears and Victoria Justice.

I think Jennette McCurdy's an awesome singer. Love her personality.



Okay that'll be all.

'till tomorrow!

Beach

I suddenly have this strong urge to go to the beach and play beach volleyball. Maybe cuz I was looking through the photos I took at Sentosa like the one above.

Anyone interested?

Anyway, I've been watching videos of Nathan Kress and Jennette McCurdy (SEDDIE forever!) and I think Nathan Kress is so hot and cute! I never found him hot 'till his voice broke. Haha why can't Singaporeans sound like himmmmm??

Was supposed to go for J/K Pop hip hop class today but Bernice isn't feeling too well so I'll be waiting 'till Thursday for our next lesson. I feel like going for lessons at least 3 times a week since we've signed up for the Unlimited package. Choon Hui's such an awesome and friendly teacher that I can't wait for her next lesson!

Going for lunch tomorrow with Alex. Can't wait to just sit around and chill for once, instead of going out to shop and feel burned out when I get home.

Nathan Kressssssss

Nathan Kress is sooooo cute!



Gotta love his expression when he says, "Awkward turkey.."

HE'S SO MUCH BETTER ONLINE THAN HE IS ON iCARLY! They should stop dressing him up as a geek on iCarly, spoils the poor guy's image. :(


Nathan doing the Fast Food Rap (with Jennette McCurdy):



Okay that's all. Love both of 'em!

Ouch

I feel as if my back's about to break into half.

You know, I never felt this useless in terms of dance ever since.. Ever.

If there was one thing I hated about having lessons in Studio Wu, its that its really crowded there, as if it were some Master Series workshop. I thought the studio was huge, but now that its the 'been there, experienced it' thing, the studio's really small.

I couldn't catch up with the choreography, which shows how complacent I've become cuz of Maqrius's lessons. Since it was only 3-4 of us then, I never had to worry about not being able to catch up cuz he would have to wait for us to get it before moving on.

I loved Maybelle and Yutaki's lessons, really.

Guess I need some time to adjust myself back into dance mode?

UGH my breaking back! I've never felt so much pain in my back before. Maybe from sailing in the past, yeah. That was because my back wasn't straight, so injuring my back's a fairly easy thing to do.

I blame the warm up. Yutaki's warm up session was a killer.

Better get used to it quickly, Gwen. Or you're going to die out during the warm-up itself.

Its like YOGA. Damn, all the stretching etc.. I was left breathless after the warm up. No wonder female hip hop and contemporary dancers have good figures.

Zing zingy zang za-zang za-zang zingy zingy zang zingy zingy za-zang za-zang zoom!

(NOTE: 1ENDEAVOUR'06, PLEASE CHECK THE CLASS BLOG! Will be having CNY Steamboat at my place again, similar to last year's. CHECK OUT THE SITE. NOW. NOW. NOW!!! http://oneendeavour-ohsixties.blogspot.com/)


We did hip hop to these two songs yesterday:

Maybelle's class:




Yutaki's class:



One word for when I woke up today: PAIN.

I woke up to a phone call from my dad asking for my mom, and since I wasn't able to go back to sleep anymore I sat up and could immediately feel the damned thing in my back. Hurt like a b$%#@.

And now I'm having this throbbing headache, which fits just PERFECTLY into the picture.

Bern-Bern, how're you holding up?

Is your back breaking? Your butt feeling sore? ANYTHING?

We missed Maybelline's warm-up cuz we were signing for the class, but since Yutaki's class started immediately after Maybelle's, we didn't miss Yutaki's warm-up and it was a session of pure hell for me. Just proves how long its been since I danced and did vigorous warm-ups! (Can't say I didn't exercise since I jog every alternate day :P)

Can't wait for Monday's lessons!


Here are some photos, way overdue:

My favourite photo of Joey and Cass.

Hey girls (Joey, Cass, ShanAi and Eileen), here are some of the photos!

I'll be uploading more after editing them. If you want the originals just tell me alright! My apologies (heehee sounds so old-fashioned) for the late upload. Love ya!

Joey, if you're reading this, I had a dream that Cass had FB. Maybe because you added this girl named Cassandra Lim on FB recently (I saw it on your Profile).


Ugh I'm supposed to be out with my gran and my aunt by now for shopping and lunch, but waking up to a throbbing headache that got worse by the hour wasn't exactly going-out material. Sigh.

Oh well, Ahma, hope you get some nice clothes for yourself for Chinese New Year!

If you'll excuse me, I shall.. how you say, retreat to my bed/sofa now. Head's are-a throbbing! And yeah I know that isn't.. well. Actually a proper sentence? Ugh okay starting to sprout nonsense SEE YA!
