i bet many people are worrying about this coming week, results are gna be out anyday! there's so much speculations around so there's actually no confirmed date. well, ive put up this song by arashi because i hope it'll cheer up some people who worry too much about the upcoming results! (:
ive been watching their shows like arashi no shukudaikun on youtube, they're extremely funny. those with english subtitles are pretty limited, but there are certain vids that just needed action t understand! im in love with arashi's music & variety shows :D haha.
this music video is quite amusing. plus, how many MVs you actually watched whre artistes can just clown around in the weirdest ways?
hope it'll brighten your mood ;)

during our 6 days in bali, i went with the family t this turtle farm. well, i didnt touched any turtles but as you can see, their surface looks really rubbery. even though i didnt get t do some basic interaction with these turtles, our guide somehow took out this small eagle and placed it on my shoulder. i got a picture of that but no way am i gna put that up :D haha.i feel like my brain's not functioning anymore, we're so used t figuring out equations or restructuring sentences on our english essays at this point of time of every year. and now? im lazing around at home with no work t do. i cant even structure another new blogskin without screwing one coding after another, what the hell man.
well, my mum did asked me t read up on some SAT vocabulary. that would prolly oil up my rusty brain (:

i think most regular readers of my blog have already given up reading this blog x) haha, im beginning t be one of those bloggers who blog like one t two times within 2 weeks or some sort. hopefully this wont turn into some habit.anyway, the first picture consist of me, my sis, alina & jen (my cousins). yep, during my 2 day stay in bandung (my parents' hometown), we visited my grandparents in another house. my first time there, the last time i was in bandung, they were staying in this tiny house. i love their place so much because my grandfather always hangs up photos of my mum & aunt in their younger days. now, me & my cousins are up on the wall too (: this photo was taken at my previous house, think when i was about 9 years old or so. the original copy is hanging around my dining room. it's pretty fast, we're all growing up right now.
it's alina's birthday yesterday so happy 14th birthday! (:
the 2nd pic? haha, my grandparents with my mum & my aunt! im really jealous of my own mother because she's been t the UK, rah. she even crossed the english channel before. im really amazed at their photos because it really brings me back t their days in the 80s. bruce lee and whatever they had back then or was the craze.
i think it's really cool t see old photos, and they're not black & white!

Monday is a funny thingStill waiting for the phone to ring
Will my imagination take it slow
After Saturday, my life is changed
In a moment it was rearranged
Strange how easy it is letting go
i wna get the backstreet boys' latest album, the lyrics are really nice when i read them (: maybe i'll get it when my birthday comes around.
let me recap back on bali first, since i spent my first 6 days of the trip over there. let me tell you something, please do not spend more than 4 days on the island. it killed me so badly, it's like spending an entire week at sentosa. the first 3 days were not too bad since we kept exploring different places and the same places at the same time. i wont talk about everything in order, just at random 'cause i didnt keep track of every detail.
the first day we arrived in bali, i saw bryan wong of star idol on the way t the hotel. by the way, we didnt managed t book the same room at the hotel resort we previously stayed in when we came in june. this time, we stayed at this hotel sahid raya. the condition of the mini villa we stayed in really sucked, especially during the heavy raining season for the last 3 days of our 6-day stay.
despite the heavy rain, i had a very nice christmas. not celebrating, but eating very good food :D i had lunch at this jap restaurant called take sushi (tah-kay), it's co-owned by a japanese and a balinese-chinese. mine was pretty expensive, i ordered the yakiniku. the beef was seriously too delicious with the dipping sauce. i might not know the best jap cuisine out there, but the food gave me bliss. hawhaw, im still loving food even after my greediness incident. madness, i know.
for christmas dinner, it still rained so hard like crazy, we couldnt even bothered t step out of our room. even so, we were still forced t get out and headed t pepper lunch (which just opened for a mere 3 months). YES, there is pepper lunch in the not-so-blissful-island-at-this-point-of-time. what's more amazing is that a year before last year's christmas, i had pepper lunch for dinner too!
from that, i think you can conclude that my family isnt all that into christmas. it's true, we havent been setting up the christmas tree in our home for a very long time. maybe when we moved from the 3-room flat, the tiny christmas tree vanished! it wouldnt affect us that greatly, christmas is just another day.
our hotel was walking distance t the very crowded area of kuta square. a extremely mini version of orchard road (: hell no, there isnt places like takashimaya and such. more of shops like mooks, matahari, ripcurl and many shops based on sports & beach wear.
oh yes! one great place t recommend is the hard rock cafe in bali! i cant remember whether ive been t the one in s'pore but bali's totally amazing. the music sounded really good, sounds of john lennon, madonna, the kooks, the darkness and some great artistes i never really heard before. the waiters are really friendly too. i saw the hotel part too, they have their own mini beach! >.<
so cool please.
my memory span's pretty short, let me think about it for another day. pictures would be uploaded soon! (:
ps: i have t worry about how can i start for preparation of the SATs, and who's gna win the election'08 in the states. my mum's so rooting for hillary clinton, hm. plus, i have this thought of going t beijing t see the olympics, laughoutloud.

happy new year!my resolutions for this year:
1. definitely t improve both my languages
2. get some kind of anger management
3. take more photographs of my family & friends (this resolution will keep going until im probably cant keep up with technology.)
4. dont get too greedy with food x)
what happened for my new year's eve?
the singapore countdown was pretty dull, so i turned t ch 54 for the countdown in taipei since the countdown in the states would be a day later, haha. i catched up with some idol shows on the com because counting down t another new year is just another chore. i also catched the repeat for yu le bai fen bai (:
this morning, i spent my time watching the first season of hana yori dango (: it's an excellent show please and yes, it still beats meteor garden no matter what. the jap version of f4 is so freaking cooler. domyoji, hanazawa rui, mimasaka & nishikado! :D
time for me t get out of the house 'cause i need t do this important errand of mine! hope i'll be able t deliver it in time later on (:
well, apparently im darn lazy t change the bloody blogskin.
hope you guys have a great day ahead and do get prepared for the first day tmr!
