And to another babe I'm thankful you took the mini-talk in such a good way.
Sigh my cell's been quiet. Its gonna be weird to say this especially since I'm not one to be bothered with my social life-via-text-messaging but it felt empty today.
I'm contemplating taking up aggro skating for fun, but the price of the skates is one thing, the fact that I should be occupied with nothing but studies (and hip hop, once or twice a week I promised myself) at this point of time.
Past few days have been awesome. Spent it with good company, doing awesome things I've never done before.
Yesterday I went out with Alex, Gabriel, Darrell and Ianlex. It was awesome (yes it seems to be the only word I can use at this point of time). It was awfully awkward at first, especially while the guys played pool and ate supper, I could only stick with Alex.
Cabbed down to Cineleisure after that for KBox. I only started warming up to them after Alex and I accompanied Ianlex down cuz he had to go home. Alex and I were buying alcohol but because we thought we didn't look the age, we decided not to try because it would've obviously proven to be futile.
Ian said before walking off, "I'll ask a taxi driver uncle to come help us buy la."
I thought he was joking and that that was his mean way of saying goodbye as he headed for a cab. Alex and I stared on, only to realise he was trying to pull a cab driver out of the cab, literally!!
Singing 'till about 4.30am in the morning, we all got bored.
Decided to walk around until the first train started. This meant 2 hours of walking. Starting from Cineleisure, we walked to Fort Canning and ended up at Dhoby Ghaut. Everywhere we walked past was deserted and quiet. Imagine the whole of 313 Somerset to yourself..
(Okay fine the security guard was staring at us so we decided not to roam around)
Tired.. sweaty... we sat down in the middle of Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. Caught the first train, slept on it. Though I doubt Gabriel did because when Alex poked me awake (I roughly remember her trying to wake me up 4 times. I kept going back to sleep, ignoring her), I noticed that his big eyes were still wide open, he didn't look tired at all.
Oh, I MET VIRGINIA AND NICHOLAS AT THE BUS TERMINAL! *hugs*
Camped and slept at McDonald's till 8.45am. Darrell wanted to wait for Virtualand's LAN and Goodspeed to open because we all wanted to play L4D2 without traveling down to Thomson to play at Downtime.
That resulted in walking around NTUC because Darrell was dead tired and having breakfast at Subway. No L4D2, we all died before that could happen.
---------------------------
Met Alex and Gabriel after that for pool again at night. This time they made me try playing and though it was fun, it was mad embarassing. Lex and Gabriel had a lot to laugh about cuz I wasn't exactly.. a natural born player.
We ended up having a mini HTHT 'till almost 12am! How cool is that?
Went to play beach volleyball with Alex, Kerrie, Aaron, Darren and Deyuan at Sentosa yesterday.
To me the beach volley was only alright. The awesomest part of the day was the HTHT (Heart-To-Heart-Talk) with Alex, Aaron, Darren and Deyuan on Vivo City's rooftop area after dinner! Alex suggested lying down and we all lay side-by-side, looking up at the stars and putting our feets in the water as we talked.
It was insightful yet funny. Insightful when Darren gives deep, matured answers to some thoughts we had and funny when Aaron would squat infront of him, look him in the face and say, "I. Disagree!", cutting Darren short of his.. 'deep moment'. I really appreciate true friends like them and somehow, I know we'll be friends for a long time because they are genuine people. I like people who are genuine, as opposed to people who are just.. come and go?
Alex and I concluded that girls are horrible people. We are backstabbers and total hypocrites. "Well, with the exception of one girl-friend." I told her.
"Who's that?"
"Celine! Haha. She never has any problems with anyone and is really THAT nice. So nice that no one actually finds any faults with her too. That's why I love her."
The day I saw on FB that she was considering doing foundation studies overseas, I cried. I didn't want her to go :( Thank goodness its only just a consideration. I have faith in you girl! Don't give up, its gonna be one more year and you'll be free!
Okay sorry about digressing.
Anyway, so yeah. The HTHT was really nice. We really asked them questions we never asked any guy before (like what they liked about girls, and if they could tell if girls were trying to flirt with them. To which they answered, "OF COURSE!! Its DAMN obvious when girls try to flirt." Tsk, girls, if you think guys didn't feel it, THINK AGAIN) and like what Alex said on her blog, we got to know what dudes think much better, and also things we.... um.. wouldn't wanna know about dudes.
With the things that have been happening around me and Alex, it was nice getting some guys opinions. :)
From having our backs on the ground, facing the sky, feets in the water, we moved on to having our feets still in the water while leaning over the barrier of the rooftop pond-thingy while chatting. That felt good too. At first it was Alex and I who did that as the dudes sat there talking. Suddenly they came over and Aaron was like, "You didn't think you could run away from us, DID YOU?"
We talked 'till pretty late in the night, around 11.30pm. Darren went to catch the last train while the rest of us cabbed home, continuing the whole 'BFF *heartz*' thing on the cab.
Deyuan received a call that made him go "What. The. F***?????!" at least 5-7 times and he later revealed that Darren missed his train when he was at Outram. (He had to change trains)
Aaron persuaded him to take a taxi home instead of walking home from Outram ("I'LL PAY FOR YOUR CAB FARE LA. MONEY NO MATTER!! JUST. TAKE. A TAXI. HOME!") and a long while later Darren called back. Guess what?
He took a cab to the MRT station after Outram, and caught the train he missed.
How much is that kitty by the window? ("Meow! Meow!") The one with the.. um, really long taaaaail~
There were 3 cats in this shop and they reminded me a lot of Lingling, my aunt's cats.
I didn't dare enter the shop because at least one of the three would've seated its butt down right infront of the door like in the photos and I was too scared to open it cuz it looked like it's paws could get hit by the door or something.
Outside Soon Lee..
I really look tired.
Sigh look at my tired eyes!
DO YOU FEEL YOURSELF SALIVATING YET??!
Awesome, awesome banana crumble (yes, it literally crumbled as we savoured or should I say devoured it) paired with Strawberry Shortcake ice-cream. Made such a huge mess with the crumbs on the table!
Heehee messy hair.
My (not so awesome) Aglio Olio with mushroom and bacon spaghetti!
It was good but me and spicy food don't go well together, that's why the "(not so awesome)".
We were all doing stupid krumping moves to the songs played in the restaurant when I snapped this shot of her. I thought it was pretty cute! That's what candid photos are all about.
That was our trip to Haji Lane. It was rather boring cuz many shops closed down/under renovation and the shops we went to were not the ones I saw when I was there with Zahra jiejie or AGEK.
I regret not buying the film camera I was debating almost 20mins about to myself! Terrible, terrible, terrible.
I need to get started on my Emath now! Motivation being Ngee Ann Poly's FMS. MASS COMM., HERE I COME (next year)!
After work today, I was so tired that the 20-minute nap on my dad's car wasn't enough. I came home, tried to keep my eyes open enough to watch Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, but when I was waiting for iCarly to show, the advertisements were too much for my stripped-of-sleep body and I fell asleep.
I thought I had a dream that my dad woke me up to open my letter from NYP regarding my DAE application. I swear it felt so real yet so.. dream-ish. Maybe what was written in the letter made me want it to be a dream.
If you didn't already figure out, even NYP rejected me for DAE.
My 'dream' was so surreal that after waking up at 9.30pm, I just had to go to the letter pile and double-check. I know I shouldn't have been, but I was taken back. The letter's infront of me now and to be honest, all I feel is a bitter feeling and a bit of hatred.
I should've been prepared. Really, I was. Or at least, I thought I was.
Inside, I'm really scared. I can feel myself frown after re-reading that letter to confirm it wasn't a dream..
...I really don't know why I let myself screw this up.
Sigh Celine I really, really, really miss you! Hate you for watching Dear John without me. Okay I'm kidding. Give me a call if you read this! :)
How's it like to feel lonely? Well I know how it feels like.
On a side note, work's been better ever since I could talk to Sharifah, Darry, Judy etc. Less intimidating and awkward I guess?
Its not even 5.30am and yet, here I am, awake and getting ready for work.
My bravery is to be commended.
Though.. Technically speaking, I AM still half asleep. As I stood infront of the washroom's mirror washing my face, I could feel myself drifting back into Lala Land, similar to what I'm doing now as I sit on my bed, eyes half-open due to the fan blowing directly in my face..
Sigh. Lesson learnt: The next time I agree to do opening, the 6am-2pm shift, I should really consider sleeping earlier.......
I was so bored I ended up watching old videos of me dancing.
Found this at Bettina's Youtube channel and realised I still remember my first choreography.
I put so much effort into it, planning the moves and watching videos that would help 'till 3 in the morning or so? I always went to bed a bit sweaty because I danced infront of my very narrow mirror before sleeping. (As a matter of fact, I still do)
Yeah, I find myself scary at times like this.
It surprises me how much effort I can put into one thing, yet at the same time how little effort I can put into another. In this context it would be Dance vs. My Studies.
While showering just now, I took the time to reflect. It dawned on me that I have always been very shy to admit I have always wanted to be a well-known choreographer/dancer while singing for fun; as a hobby. I wanted to debut in Korea and.. Well, lets just say I'm very ambitious in my goals. (I'm still thinking twice about whether I should delete this before clicking on "Publish Post")
I wish I had the courage of, say, Alex and Syafiqah. They love singing and aren't afraid to do so infront of people. I, on the other hand, never sang infront of my parents before. Except for the time I was younger and very much into F.I.R. and ended up singing that at a karaoke session. That was the only time I opened up infront of my parents.
I never danced infront of them too.
Infact, how many of my friends have actually seen me dance are countable with a hand or two. Yes I would say a hand.
After reading Matthew Liu's blog and profile (he added me on Facebook. Am still in denial about how one event like this got me to be 'suddenly inspired'), it hit me, while I was showering, that life is too short to be 'shy' about everything.
My showers are deemed my "Thinking Time".
But how do I get over this shyness? I have no idea how to rid of being shy, much less do what I love infront of friends and family. I want to be like my cousin, teaching dance at a costly rate as a hobby. His name's Tze Yi (my aunt said he goes by the same Zee(?) online?) and he does salsa I believe. He was on newspapers, magazines, videos, competing in countries like Melbourne..
How I would love to be in his shoes.
We read this article which had him and other 'eligible bachelors' on CLEO or something. They nicknamed him Singapore's Rain (Rain as in the Korean star). My parents were impressed because they never saw this dressy side of him. Around us, he's in specs, jeans and a random tee.
Sigh.
Now to plan my first step into pursuing what I REALLY want to do: Mass Comm in Ngee Ann Poly.
Again, I'll shyly admit that I only wanted to get into NP for dance at first. I was all gung ho about Junior College since forever. The NP dream started one fine day 2 years ago, when Jiaqi and Sera told me NP was known for its hip hop CCA -- NRA.
As of now, my dad's hoping I would get through the DAE application to Nanyang Poly. He just spoke to me and told me to appeal to Republic Poly as well. "Take whatever chance you have to get you somewhere instead of wasting one year."
Even so, I already plan to get a good GPA in whatever course DAE leads me to, and then transfer out for Mass Comm by the next year. It sounds mean, but I would do anything for me to get into my dream course. Dad, isn't that as good as wasting a year?
Then again, I AM only (going-to-be) 17! I still have many years ahead of me before I become old and rot in a bed, paralysed and urinating through a tube.
Ew..
Um.. Yeah. Ugh ew gross I really wouldn't want to die when I have to urinate through a tube. Ew, ew, ew! Oh great now being 90 years old really doesn't seem like a pretty sight for me. Thanks to this thought, I would NEVER look forward to growing old, retiring and admitting myself into a costly hospital so that my kids and husband would sit around me as my days go by.
Not that I'm sidetracking from Nathan Kress (okay I'll admit, I am a little bit) after realising Jeremy Sumpter's now in another movie that I actually KNOW of.. But yes, I'm now obsessed with Jeremy Sumpter all over again!
I sound like the K-Pop fangirl I once was again.
Do you not recall who Jeremy Sumpter is?
Try remembering Peter Pan, shown in Singapore back then when we were maybe primary 4 or 5. I remember watching it in Junction 8's cinemas and finding him cute that he was my wallpaper on my desktop. My dad saw it and was like, "Why is there a guy on your wallpaper? And so many of it somemore??" (It was a small photo of him taken off his website, so I had to put it on repeat to cover the whole screen)
But YES!
He's acting in this new movie You're So Cupid. Doubt its showing in cinemas or at least, not in Singapore's cinemas, but I found it while watching this video of Jennette McCurdy's new movie- Minor Details!
Was about to come here and tell you guys to go check it out and support her by buying the movie on iTunes (yes, its only available on iTunes) if you're able to because she is awesome!
Then I saw a comment about You're So Cupid and the person said Jeremy Sumpter was acting in it so I immediately went to check it out and I'm glad to say HE'S JUST AS CUTE AS HE WAS IN PETER PAN! Only.. taller, bigger, and with a deeper voice that I'm not really used to.
Aahhhhhhh, he's so cute! What a heartthrob.
Okay so here's the trailer for You're So Cupid:
And THEN I found out he was on CSI: Miami!
SYAFIQAH I KNOW YOU LOVE CSI! I wonder if you ever watched this episode:
Is he cute or WHAT?!
I was reading the uploader's info about the video and I laughed when I read this part: "btw if u r below 13 and u love jeremy...well here's a warning: zach griffith is not exactly..peter pan.... but jeremy is a good boy,i bet :p"
Haha, "Zach Griffith is not exactly.. Peter Pan". That was hilarious.
Yesssssssss I'm in love with Jeremy Sumpter all over again!
I squealed at this. Fangirl much. But who can help it? He's such a cutie!
Okay sorry about digressing. As I said, I was originally here to support Jennette McCurdy (of iCarly. She plays Sam).
She's a favourite of mine, besides Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey on Zoey 101), Emma Roberts and Victoria Justice for the actresses.
Then I realised, via Youtube AGAIN, that she was on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation too. How awesome is that?
By the way, for all the Avatar: Legend of Aang fans out there, don't you agree that the real-life movie that is based on the cartoon spoiled the cartoon itself?
Celine, Angie, Anthony and I caught the trailer at Genting's cinema's ticketing booth. We all felt that it was nonsense. The graphics are good but who cares about the graphics when Aang looks like a weirdo with an arrow on his head??
Don't you think its like Dragonball Z? The anime was alright to me, awesome to the fans. But when it came out as a live action movie, it completely ruined my image of the anime.
Tell me how this guy
Looks like this Chinese/Japanese-looking character?!
Gosh the guy who picks the cast must be blind or something.
