Gran

All the grandkids-

Delicious banana chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate!

Rae bought this for us when we spent last Christmas together too!

Some photos from my gran's birthday!

Happy (currently belated) birthday my dearest Ah Ma!

Dream Shoes

I spent the last 2 days watching 2NE1 TV back to back and what can I say? After seeing these Jeremy Scott JS Wings 2.0 (top two photos) on Dara, they're now my dream pair of shoes!!

After I got the Reebok Monopoly series high-tops (SHINee wore them haha see how SHINee-crazy I was back then?) that I talked about like I think 2 years back?? I've yet to find another pair of shoes that I really like, except the Nike checkered high-tops but yeah nothing beats Jeremy Scott for Adidas! Even the clothes which I can't get enough of, so watching 2NE1 TV was like eye-candy for me but in terms of sneakers and clothes.

Am loving the Jeremy Scott JS Wings (the last photo. That's like ver 1.0) but of course JS Wings 2.0's so much nicer.

Anyone knows if any shops in Singapore sells these? And how much? Have yet to check out Limited Ed so I wouldn't know. I would totally save up for a pair, although I've just spotted "inspired" pairs online from this 2NE1-inspired online shop set up by people from Malaysia, which I'm very much tempted to buy for dance.

I mean, if it's cheap why not?? Better than my Monopoly pair which I wore like 3-4 times to dance and decided to stop wearing it cuz I spotted these little scratches on one side.

I'm still keeping an eye out for the blue + yellow Monopoly series one though! Ugh I can't believe a pair of sneakers has been on my mind for like 2 years now. Crazy.

Thoughts

Too many thoughts on my mind recently.

I'm so terribly tired of everything. I keep thinking, thinking.. but somehow I just can't seem to figure out anything.

I've been very sick of myself, to be honest. Nothing seems to be going right, and nothing I DO ever seems to be right. I'm just annoying myself (and others). How do my friends -- especially my dance friends who see me almost everyday -- stand me when I can't even stand myself, seriously??

Food for thought: If you thought you knew me well, think again.

When it's Arsenal vs. Man U....

.....you really should just look at me and Serene's (@BLOOODYSUNDAY) Twitter timelines!

Hahaha after the penalty I looked back at my timeline and laughed cuz me and Serene were like tweeting in unison but for different reasons/supporting different teams!

Edit: FT Update!

Well if you can't tell, my babies lost.

But hahaha I can't wait for the next World Cup! At least for once Serene and I would be on the same side cuz we both support Spain!

On the other hand I support Germany too.

Oh o..

Wicked Sick

Japanese dancers are the best!


I'm actually Googling "How does a resume look like?"
Tells you how pampered I am thanks to the job I had at the airport.And well, technically I still have it.

Gratitude expressed in words..

(Note to self: Add photos here when you're not too lazy to upload them, thanks)

I can't explain how relieved I feel now that the teenSupreme finals are over and done with. Practice has been extremely tiring and honestly after all this, dancing everyday with Perennial seems like a normal thing.

I've made so many friends over this period of time, and it's not only from the O School side, but from the teenSupreme opening item rehearsals etc. The only two rehearsals we had at CJ for the opening act has been nothing but fun! Thanks you guys for such a memorable experience!! MY FIRST EVER DANCE PERFORMANCE/COMPETITION YO! I went to rehearsals expecting myself to text Inez/Ashley/Chanhuei 24-7 because I would feel damn awkward and left out, but in the end I found myself doing the total opposite. Had too much fun practising the item choreographed by Evey that I didn't message them much. :P

Anyway, Aaron, Darren and Cheryl came down today! It felt so good to see them again, especially Aaron and DGohz. I've not seen them in forever, honestly. Thanks bros! We SO need a BFFs -Rainbow and Hearts- outing again soon. Vivocity's rooftop HTHT session again, anyone?

And oh, Alex hunnypoo, thanks for the encouraging text message! When I received your text I was actually waiting for my turn to get hair and makeup done and I was so nervous! I kept smiling at my phone after reading what you sent me. Thanks babe! :) You know I love you SOSOSOSO much and I'm so glad things between us are alright now!

Oh, Mom and Dad came down to watch us too! Mom was our hardcore manager-wannabe (haha sorry Momszie, position's taken by Suina!) and she even wore our custom-made Perennial crew shirt!

Thanks Mom. I know you'll never read this, but I hope you know I love you a lot and I've said this before, but I'll say it again -- I'm thankful to have you (of all the other mothers out there) as my mom.

I hope that from today's performance, and the amount of time and effort I've put in to practicing with Perennial, I've convinced my parents and allowed them to finally understand why I'm so passionate about dancing. Sounds cliche but it sucks to have your parents telling you that what you love doing can be nothing more than a hobby, right??

Even though Perennial didn't win (although we did win the Most Popular category of the competition), we're all thankful for this experience I hope!

Also, we're all much closer now and I'm definitely thankful that I've spent everyday dancing with them. Practice has never been more fun and I honestly hope we can take part in more competitions like this again.

And I also hope that Perennial remains tighttttttt. Love you guys.

After what happened in the past, I actually convinced myself that I should just better my own dancing skills and take part in competitions as a soloist rather than find a crew to dance with. So yeah maybe it's a blessing in disguise that I decided to take up Twinnie's suggestion to learn dance at O School cuz I met the most wonderful people there! (HAHAHA OF COURSE I STILL LOVE MY BFFs! Alexandra Chia Chih Wen take note!!)

ONE FINAL, HUGE THANK YOU TO ELIZABETH, AH-SWEE, JIAHUI, AARON, DARREN AND CHERYL FOR COMING DOWN! Love y'all!!!

Egad, mate! I think I should stop here before this blog post becomes too sappy and eww-ish hahaha.

Goodnight -- or in this case, morning -- y'all!

I can't wait for class tomorrow with Perennial! Let's continue to improve together as a crew. ;) Gambatte!

FFVII:CC

Stupid video never fails to make me sob hard. Zack's last sentence, "Would you say, I became a Hero?" is like what causes me to literally bawl out loud (yes I'm hell emotional).

(I'm not sure if I've ever shared this video before though)

Haha was listening to my Final Fantasy + Kingdom Hearts iTunes playlist and "Why" by Ayaka started playing. That made me want to watch this scene again and so I did.

Thanks to this I've never once completed FFVII:Crisis Core (I'm close to the end) because I didn't want to complete everything only to see my Zack Fair die. He's my favourite Final Fantasy character everrrrr (used to be Cloud, until I played CC).

Oh I saw this comment:

Here take my sword.. my dreams.. my hopes.. oh yea don't forget to take my girl too.. Cloud you lucky f**ker

Hahaha funnyyyyyyyyy.

Cloud you're such a useless bum I swear.

Adults..

The finals of teenSupreme are tomorrow guys! Do come down if you can to support Perennial, and if possible, do wear black if you're coming down!

Novena Square 2

2pm-5pm (Competitors will be down there from 10.30am onwards)

So yeah! Perennial has put in a lot of effort choreographing and practising for the finals, and seeing friends and family supporting us would definitely be the best thing ever!

Chan and Suina are even coming up with a fanchant to teach our supporters tomorrow! Looks like Inez has her family coming down. Sigh, I wish my family would too but tomorrow's little Maegan's first month! Kinda bummed out that I'll be missing it. I've yet to see the cutie pie!

On the way home earlier, I was reading through all my messages my friends sent me in reply to mine (about helping to vote for us on the teensmag page on Facebook) and I came across this reply from this person whom I thought was my friend.

I forgot she changed her number, and I had "-Friend- 1" and "-Friend- 2" in my list of contacts. So I thought it would be better/safer to text the one labeled "1".

Apparently it wasn't her, so I sent a reply apologising for the fact that I sent the message to the wrong number and that I thought it was a friend of mine.

I got a reply saying something like, "-long naggy message that I didn't bother to remember/note down here- This is a blackberry BUSINESS number..... THIS IS NOT A REPEAT NUMBER FOR YOU TO SEND RUBBISH MESSAGES TO, thank you very much. NOW GO AND SLEEP........"

Seriously?!

It wasn't as if I sent my text message to the wrong number on purpose??

And after I replied (a rather sarcastic reply, might I add. But nothing mean at all I swear). Okay fine this was what I replied:

"Er okay??? I have no idea what kind of business you're running if you can reply people like that. And sadly, I am not a kid. But thank you very much for being concerned about my bedtime, very much appreciated."

I got this message back:

"I am in food export business n my business is doing well... Thank u.... I have never sent any WRONG smses out..... U r a teenager, I guess..... How I run my business is fine with me... Pls ensure u have correct number next time... Good nite...."

(The part about me being a teenager is because he thought I was a kid)

OH LORD.

So the fact that you thought I was a kid who sent a text message to the wrong person gives you the right to be all rude? So what if you are an adult running your own business? Your personality's terribly unpleasant and rude. I highly doubt your business is good in the first place if this is how you chose to reply a person.

What if I happened to be a daughter of a customer of yours? A major customer maybe? Ah. That's where your ridiculous attitude would get you into trouble.

Or maybe it is good only because you choose to reply nicely to your customers who are obviously adults. Seriously, why do some adults think that just because we are kids they don't have the need to at least be courteous to us?

A simple, "Oh okay no worries about it. Next time please ensure that you've got the right number to message. Good night." would've sufficed but NOOOOO, you had to go about the mean way, even telling me "NOW GO TO SLEEP......."

If this is how adults treat "kids", I don't see why people are starting to notice how rude Singaporeans have become, huh?

Interior

Just a few of the awesome photos I have in my folder titled "Interior Inspirations" I'd like to share with y'all.

I can't help but wonder if the fact that I'd like to enter Singapore Poly as an interior design student would benefit me in the long run. I may love anything interior design-related, but will I end up being another dropout? Well I mean, I've heard comments on how tough and draining being a design student is... So yeah.

Maybe I should just continue praying that I'll get enough to enter Media and Communications.

New Blogskin

I've finally gotten around to changing my blogskin. Instead of using the old 'Templates', I switched up to 'Design', which is weird I'll have to admit. There're suddenly too many tabs on top.

And obviously I didn't code this. My blogskin-coding skills have rusted to the point that I can only code simple things. (heaves a sigh)

I guess this is neater, though. It'll just take some getting used to.

Then again, this blogskin or my old one?

Inez the 'leadjah', a title she proudly mentions.

DURIAN24

Belle's candy nails!

Hahaha this boy was very cute.

I think Justin Bieber's "Baby" was playing, and then this boy started doing his own lil' lyrical hip hop to the song. Lika "Aw~" only!

My prettylicious Raichu in her pretty polka-dotted shirt from H&M Shanghai came down to support us only to realise that we'll be going on later than expected. Which was sad cuz she had to leave within an hour.

Which also means she didn't watch us perform.

This is our manager!

Don't play play.

Ah Cheo~

Our original manager 'oppa' who gave up the position to be our videographer dongsaeng.

JIAHUI THE JAIHWEEE~

(Starts singing "Jai Ho")

Playing with Belle's Andriod phone.

Sigh my poor Nokia sitting on my lap can't compare, seriously.

I think I need a new (and better) phone.

Had a celebratory dinner @ Kenny Rogers, Novena!

The ambiance "Act一个nice而已lor".

Haha it's now a norm for us to use "act yi ge", thanks to Jolyn!

*ahem* Is the point I'm trying to make with this photo obvious enough?

Some way overdue photos!

I'm sorry if all I can blog about now is dance. I've been dancing everyday and I've not been going out etc. How to blog about anything other than dance you tell me?

Also, I've been a real lazy kid recently due to practice. Sigh at 11:45pm yesterday Inez and I were still on the train home!

I've been shamelessly shoving my links on Facebook Chat over the past few days. Sorry guys for the spam but I really need the votes for the popularity segment of this whole teenSupreme competition! Thanks to y'all who've voted for Perennial, we really appreciate it! Especially to those who helped me promote the link to like.

You guys are just aweeeeeeesome!

Once again, here's the link:

Please go 'like' the photo at the link guys! And thanks a bunch in advance. *inserts loads of hearts within this space* And also, to those who are coming down on the 12th to support Perennial, thank you! Y'all know how much I appreciate gestures like these. Especially to the BFFs and sailors/juniors who are coming down -- LOVE YOU GUYZ!!

So yeah, I've been pretty worn out thanks to dance. I think I've mentioned in my previous post before but it's the truth.

To be honest, I've given up quite a bit for dance. Something else happened this morning (thank God it's settled) and it really made me wonder if something like dance should really be ranked above all else. When I woke up to such a message I felt emotionally drained. I didn't want to get my butt off the sofa to prepare for dance. All I wanted to do was to stay home, cry and let it all out..

..which I obviously didn't.

When my aunt told me over our conversation on the phone that after my O's I could dance as much as I wanted to.... Well I never felt happier. I've always wondered what it would be like to spend every moment of my spare time dancing. But now that I've got what I've wanted.. it doesn't really seem to be worth it, does it?

I used to use Realityworks as a space to vent my thoughts. I mean, yeah it IS dumb because although this is my blog, it isn't private. In fact, nothing on the Web is ever private. (Hah, this goes out to all the kiddos out there who own their own blogs thinking, oh since this is my blog I can say watevurr I want!)

Like yo, just because it's your blog it doesn't mean you have the right to say what you want to.

I guess I've learnt that the hard way when I was still like 13-15? I would use this space as a space to vent my anger/frustrations/unhappiness.. and when people read what I had to say....... Hohoho merry Christmas to me.

Okay, sorry for digressing. But that's the truth. Mmm.

Is my passion really worth sacrificing everything else?

But then again, on the other hand, is it also that hard trying to understand why I'm so passionate about it?

Twitter Trends

Oh okay now that the Arsenal match just ended not too long ago, let's see what's on Twitter.......

Oh. Do you see what I see? 6th from the top. Don't bother about #happybirthdayyuri, just look at that pretty name.

Oh yes, now you DO see what I see. *raises eyebrows*

WELL DONE! Your second goal was brilliant! This is why you're my favourite in Arsenal heehee. Thank you for bringing Arsenal to the top! I can't believe how good a season this has been for Arsenal! We've had lesser injuries, lesser people being benched or whatnot. I'm so terribly proud of Arsenal! You guys are doing so well now!

Wenger's still the best manager everrrr, and in my eyes, Nasri's still the best player everrrr.

I miss his blonde highlights though!

But yes, the pride and joy of Arsenal ;)

And "Like" the photo! You'll have to like the teensmag page first for the Like button to show. But yes, do it for Perennial!

You know you want it (ah)

You know you wantcha (wantcha!)

Teehee okay I'm a tad bit nonsensical right now thanks to Arsenal's good match earlier on, like I'm drunk from the 2 goals scored by Nasri. MY BABY~
