2. hooked on faith hill's top of the pops version of the way you love me. ive converted the vid into my player, her voice is simply amazing especially it's the dance remix (:
3. have t wake up earlier t do some helping out with the choir. rehearsals and stuff for tomorrow. concert's at nus, cant wait! photography moments!
4. not t be corny or anything, i miss hanging out with alot of ppl. haha, i can always ask them out.
(there's nowhere else i would rather be, if you ever knew.)

1. this song is a classic, one of my all time faves. everytime i go t ikea, this song would always be playing (: and hell yea, faith hill's a great singer!
2. mich asked me who do i look up t as my role model, and i had the exact answer right in my mind. i guess it would be a 50-50 chance you would actually know who that person might be, aha.
3. and yes, my condolences for those victims who passed on in the cambodia incident. i really hate reading the news, knowing more and more people dying and stuff. it's really uncalled for. condolences to the indonesian student, who studied in yale university, who passed on in new haven, connecticut.
i really cant imagine if one of the victims was someone i know, i'll prolly break down badly or something.

let's talk about yesterday first :) went back t the openhouse t take a look at the cca and the other stuff at school. well, the performance was pretty good. not the best yet, but still as good :D i'll post up the vid when im not that lazy t upload onto the com. chatted with tay & ling for a while when they came over t the panel room. had crystal jade for late lunch with qy, mj and tau and yes! happy belated birthday, dear qy! have fun in china okay (:today was a day out with mum & sis. we went t marina square 'cause i wanted t check out some clothes. had amazing lunch at sushi tei in raffles city shopping centre, the ambience was nice. i bought new earphones for the 2nd time this year, amazingly. since mum needed t help dad get this non-fic book, we headed t vivocity. im so glad we managed t go there as i managed t buy mags :D and i discovered something fascinating such as the moleskine brand. it's this famous brand of diaries, notebooks and such. i want one so badly but they're extremely pricey. i can start using them for personal journal writing and lyric jotting (: i wannnnnnnt.
you know, im dying t do this personal journal thing seriously. i guess it's a way t bring me away from using blogs t note everyday life, well blogs aren't gna stay forever with us. as days pass, i began t find more nice lyrics and tempted t jot them on some paper. (both english & chinese, if you may wonder..more lyrics start t grow on me emotionally and such.)
it's pretty much a good method t improve my bilingualism ability.
(it's hard to just get away from that state of mind.)

i had planned t bring my sis out for the entire week, and im unable t do that because my stomach hasnt recovered AT ALL. im really frustrated that i cant get out of the house and pretty guilty since my sis cant go out without me.i do not have any fever or whatsoever but the problem lies in the stomach, what the hell please. everytime i think i feel better, the next day becomes another problem.
well, all i can do is try t get better. im craving for some dessert though, but all i can think about is that all the food i consume will end up in the toilet bowl a while later -.- hope i'll be able t attend tmr's openhouse.
the thing that is keeping my spirits up is knowing that lin youjia and the other 3 are coming down t s'pore next month t promote their compilations :D i wna see them in the flesh! im not sure how much of the s'pore population actually know them or whether they watch the competition, but hopefully i'll be able t catch them upclose.
random, ipod classic looks so awesome. but there's no radio i think ): i doubt my parents would allow me t change t that until my creative one rots or breaks down t become a paralysed item.
the oc has made me notice some stuff:
uc berkeley, risd and brown. flomp!

if you read my previous posts/entries with lin youjia's videos, then good for you :D i think if it wasnt for hs, i wouldnt notice him that much. like i said before, he is really hilarious and has a great potential in singing (: ive been playing his song like over and over for the past few weeks, the song above (i suppose it's considered as his debut single) is really nice and the lyrics are touching.
taiwan's singing competitions are srsly incomparable t the local singing competitions, no offence. i enjoy local music too but more on the english music.

hello children, havent been blogging for a few days. let me speed up the summary for these few days alrighty? i didnt do much but there are some eventful things :)went back t school last friday for some pae briefing, in which was ridiculously unecessary for some people especially me. the cut off points are decreasing, which again doesnt involve me since my prelims couldnt make the cut.
i took the same bus with eli & qs 'cause they wanted t have a haircut near my house and i dropped off earlier before them t meet up with tay for brunch at kfc. talked about so many random stuff like we always do, haha. when we arrived back at my house, qs & eli wanted t have steamboat back here 'cause i had steamboat with hs, jh, pp, shipei, mantou, sash, cls & ech last wednesday. thank god i still had leftovers and they didnt mind, so they came over t have it for lunch. tau came over in the afternoon, whre we were watching the repeat for 超級星光大道. qs & eli left aft their steamboat lunch, thanks again for cleaning up :D the 3 of us did our mini marathon thing, watching shows at random. had dinner at imm and hung around there for a while, and watched more teevee until early morning. felt like a tv slpover, haha.
had dinner with my mum & sis on sunday at billy bombers since we still had vouchers and such, i ordered way too many stuff. my stomach was in pain aft dinner, consequence of being greedy..not a good thing. my sis bought some fantastic 4 dvd while i got myself the season 4 set of the oc! yay, pretty happy. more doses of sarcasm from seth cohen :D
yesterday was the worse, i suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. my tummy hurted for the entire morning, prolly due to sunday's overeating. my head hurted the most, i didnt even realised i had a serious fever. mum wanted me t go see the doc but i kind of refused t, no reason but i guess i wouldnt have that kind of energy t stand.
but im quite okay right now, just need t drink more water. it really sucks t have a sudden fever out of no reason. got t plan out my schedule since i wont be working for the rest of the month, have t plan a budget though. since mum is working, i have responsibility t take care of my sis. well it isnt what i wanted t do in the first place, but do i even have a choice? at least i bother t do it. ah well, it's obvious that this responsibility is restraining me from doing the stuff i wna do, i have t take one step at a time. dumdeedum (:

只对你有感觉 by hebe & fahrenheit:
just saw this on youtube and i wna share it with all of you! this sounds really amazing on piano, and the person didnt use a score, instead she played the song just listening by ear :) i wished i could play like that, nice.
love so sweet by arashi:
this is the theme song for hana yori dango II and the person who's playing in this vid has improvised on the piano version. another beautiful piece played as this person had t listen t the original version quite alot of times since there wasnt any sheet music available. and yes, another piece listened by ear.
enjoy (:

i wouldnt say i'll be liberated, that thought of taking back results kind of scares me now and then. in any case, im glad i dont have t burn any more midnight oils (: the things i wna think about would be whether i'll be able t find work for the next month.my parents have gotten the tickets for the almost-2-week vacation t indonesia for the late december, that's why im still thinking whether i can work for these few weeks. i need t do alot of shopping when im there, events like christmas and new year are pretty important. i'll prolly watch romantic princess over there too! hawhaw, see the cast being dubbed in bahasa indonesia would be really fun.
well, this would be a great time t relax and reflect on many things. i definitely wna go out with people i havent seen for ages, maybe even sit back listening to the sounds of contemporary music. for once, i would just like t laugh at many things and have a little fun.
things that i'll probably want t do or make me happy:
just read books in borders for one entire day,
listening t beautiful blendings of music,
do up a brand new personal journal filled with lyrics, quotes & inspirations,
make up a plan to rearrange my room,
more cyclings in parks,
save up for a professional cam,
take more photos of people and places everywhre i go,
more visits t din tai fung for xiao long baos,
just eat the delicious food i crave for,
watching repeats of the few videos on youtube,
meet the people who i really want t meet (:
cant think of much right now, but i think this list will do just fine.

this song was way back in probably '02-'03. i guess you can listen t it when you're feeling really down, haha. i dont really like listening t preppy songs if im really sad so i think this is one of the nicest songs t listen t.
had dinner with the family last night at the shangri-la hotel t do a pre-celebration for my dad's birthday. he's turning one year older tmr (: and oh my god, the food was absolutely nice nice nice! i had like 3 servings of chicken salad throughout dinner because it's delish. apparently this restaurant is like the kind whre you can help yourself t anything. you can say it's somewhat of a classy modern buffet.
i think one of the most appealing things t look at was the chocolate fondue fountain, haha. and the dessert palette! im not a desserts person, but the most important thing for me t have is a simple serving of mango sorbet! yes, wherever there is mango flavoured ice-cream/sorbet, it's a must t have (:
regretted not bringing my cam along t take pictures, oh well. i'll prolly want t have my next birthday dinner there, laughoutloud.

this dvd box costs $32 and the shipping cost isnt included yet. ugh, it's so much nicer please. i dont know why they cant import all these like the english shows from the states or even the UK. hana yori dango II is one of the top 3 tv series that is selling like hotcakes on yesasia (: and it's the hong kong version which has english subtitles!
i swear hana yori dango makes meteor garden even more boring, and yes it's really that good. the cast is better and most of them have a great amount of screen time.
i sound like im hooked on asian shows right now, haha. some peeps have been really surprised that im actually watching taiwanese shows x) like hello? im bound t fall into something like this soon. it's actually a good thing because asian shows are really good as english shows, just that each have their own way of expressing stories or comedic expressions.
alrighty, let's talk about something else.
ah yes, im clearing up the junk in my room. papers and everything else educational :D but im not discarding them yet, just in case. i had this idea of redoing my room but it's pretty costly, considering i want alot of stuff from ikea :D my dad hasnt got around, repainting my room with a ideal colour so im looking forward t that.
one more thing! i just saw this in the asianfanatics.net forum;
i dont watch hong kong dramas, not if they are shown on channel 8 :D but i recognise most of the actors and actresses because alot of them act in shows that are really nice! this calendar cover is beautiful, so if anyone's going to hk or something, maybe you can get one for me? hahaha.

you know, when it comes t dvds, i would definitely spend a whole load of buckaroos because dvds give the best quality and it's much more better than vcds. i havent got the chance t watch one tree hill, im definitely way behind on what is going on in the show ): i love this show because of peyton! she's really pretty like haley, but i like her more, haha.
i watched an episode of grey's anatomy season 3 last night on channel 5, it's extremely addictive okay (: im tempted t get the season 3 dvd box! i really admire on how the script/storyline goes because each episode focuses on 2-3 issues surrounding everyone in the show. like yesterday's episode, it touched on the issues with the sudden marriage of george & callie (who, by the way, is very beautiful!), the condition of meredith's mum and the patient with some sort of toxic radiation in her body.
just went t jp this afternoon for lunch with mum & mich, and i managed t buy the dvd box for the first 30 episodes of the x-family. i hate t say it but im really disappointed in the distributor. the entire packaging and the main content menu was really a letdown. even though the taiwanese version of the dvd sets are like in 6 parts, their packaging and cover is so much better. i would rather pay for the taiwanese dvd sets of 6 rather than the local version of 2. how crappy is that? ugh.
if i knew the content menu was like that, i would already order mine from yesasia.

this is an amazing cast (: i really cant believe that romantic princess is bound t premiere in indonesia soon, like why isnt it gna be shown in s'pore?! another shocker was that they were actually in jakarta -.- who knows i could see them at the airport or something, haha.
ugh, darn the exams >:(
what a pity i guess.

haha, i think im gna post on vids with lin youjia :D his voice is really good. this is a must-watch too! he's singing aft the first guy, in case you dont know which one is he, haha.
i can start sleeping in :D 'cause there wont be any papers until the 13th! finally, no more burning the midnight oil since im physically drained. ive been lacking alot of sleep since the Os started.
went t kbox with qs, wt & eli aft our paper ended this morning,
it's my first time there so it was indeed what i imagine it t be x)
well, i didnt sing much but i watched alot of songs i havent heard before.

i didnt hear this song before, but the way lin youjia sang this in the vid was amazing. it had this soothing feel (: my fave! forgive me, i have been watching so many taiwanese shows :D hawhaw.

im gna have some stuff going on after the exams are over,
which im looking very forward t.
november & december would be an excellent period t sort out stuff too, although im still comtemplating whether i wna work during the holidays.
something else that im looking forward t would be '08 (:
oh yes, i think im doing another blogskin soon,
i had somewhat of an inspiration a few days ago.
