hellooooo. long time no blog.. sorry. i've been a bit down lately. nothing much to blog about. here's a song of the day. old song but some cool lyrics nonetheless:

Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado
[N:] Am I throwin you off?
Nope
[N:] Didn’t think so

How you doin’ young lady
That feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy
You don’t haveta play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke

Looking for a girl that’ll treat you right
You lookin’ for her in the day time with the light
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night

[N:] You expect me to just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it

All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand

I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent

[N:] You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute

[Chorus]
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want

[N:] Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?

Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

[N:] Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?

[Verse]
[N:] Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute

Hey! I can't keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through

[N:] I’m out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?

They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine's down

[N:] I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health

I want you on my team
[N:] So does everybody else.

Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go

[N:] What kind of girl do you take me for?

[Chorus]
Don't be mad, don't get mean
[N:] Don't get mad, don't be mean

Hey! Don't be mad, don't get mean
[N:] Don't get mad, don't be mean

Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on

I can see you with nothing on
feeling on me before you bring that on

Bring that on
[N:] You know what I mean

Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn't say those things

I’m only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say

It's okay, it's alright
I got something that you gon' like

Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash

[Chorus]
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And its you that I want

[N:] Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait

Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

[N:] Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more


HAHA. a very nice song to club to! can you just imagine. It's awesome. Ok so anyway, CNY was good, pictures are on facebook, go see for yourself. Made some money =) Having a week of holidays which is AWESOME. Meeting friends for cny gatherings next week.. Make your booking now!


eh. not much to say. am in weird mood. talk to you guys laterrrr~

i wanna say what she said. =(

---

had a great reunion dinner today =) well first went to church for 430pm mass, then went to Grandma's for fantastic foooood =) hung out with cousins, then gambled with uncle, aunt, and cousins and brother. i won quite a fair bit of $$ =) heh. Then went to hang out and chat with mom, granma, cousin and auntie... Hilarious!

No pictures. Tomorrow! hehe.


Songs of the day to make up for utter lack of previously.. Heh. 2 songs today. Old songs but I suddenly felt like listening to Gwen Stefani so yea, did so. First up, a song that I wish I could sing about someone else but in the current situation i wish i never have to sing to the current person. HAHA. Dunno what I'm talking about? Never mind =) If you were meant to know, you'd already understand.

So anyways here's the song I don't want to ever have to sing ahahaha. Well not to the 'current' person but to previous persons it's fine. It's good actually. HEH.

Cool by Gwen Stefani
It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Pass these things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool


It's a really great song to sing to ex-es and stuff. =D After I get married (IF IF IF) i'll probably sing this song lots. HAHAHA.

Ok next song is slightly more relevant i guess.

4 in the Morning by Gwen Stefani
Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
& all I know is
You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love up for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have

& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

(Give you everything)
(Give you all of me)

camwhored a LOT today. contemplating the whole geisha look HAHA. take a peek! (WARNING: CAMWHORING OVERLOAD)

Started out normally enough..

Kinda bunned up my hair and apparently liked it lol

Yea I really liked it haha

Liked it so much i started wondering if I should cut my hair that length!!

HAHA Oh God that's a lot of camwhoring. I'm sorry guys. Haha. So anyways I do think I will use this as CNY look for day 2. Hehe.


Had a long chat with ben ytd over the phone as he was mj-ing with his army buddies. Quite funny LOL. THANKS BENNNN~ Your friends sound very funny hahahha. And you make them sound very unattractive, so I don't ever want to hang out with them HAHAHAHA.

ok so today i overslept and missed mcneil's class in the morning... then went for dental at 1130am...

the verdict:
i'm uber disappointed =( turns out they don't recommend the surgery thing because it will require destroying some of my existing front-teeth and replacing them with crowns and veneers... they suggest braces... which makes me reconsider the whole 'let's-straighten-my-damn-teeth" issue because i really detest them damn braces. plus they take a fucking 2 years to get done and i don't know if i'll even be in Singapore that long. HMM.....

anyways. went to school after that to print notes and eventually decided to attend class... really annoying.. boastful lecturer.. self-obssessed... egotistical.. nothing else to say.

I got home and decided to try out the mina makeup for a bit haha. Just add some eyeliner to your lower lids lol. So here are some pics. WARNING: SERIOUS CAMWHORING TO FOLLOW. Not for the fainthearted.

Look at how they make the eyes kinda anime-ish!?
Camwhoring to follow

Ok then i clipped up my hair. Looks quite nice! haha i think la. lol

Here comes the camwhoring!

Haha. I look like i have freaking cat eyes kinda. I dunno. Anw, i quite like the look so I think i'll do that for Chinese New Year!!! Whee


I can't wait for CNY but i can definitely wait for lao1 yu2 sheng1. I really hate lao1 yu2 sheng1... It's my most hated tradition of CNY. Am i the only one who hates it? Bah.

Ok am sleepy. Talking to mich darling. Cheer up babe! Love ya.

Going to sleep now. Oh and yea... INAUGURATION DAY!!! YAY OBAMA! <3

right i'm going. ciaooooo~

i don't know if i would be able to take it if you found someone new that you really like

and i don't know if it would hurt you if i found someone new.

slacked away today! that's a really great feeling. haha

watched one of my new purchases - "Threshold" .. An Alien kinda movie.. Not too bad but not really very scary.. Then I watched Final Destination 2 and 3 for the millionth time.. I also tried to watch a little bit of The Devil Wears Prada.. In fact I might go watch it in a bit heh. That would make it my 943456789024th time watching it lol.

Got up real early today.. Couldn't sleep last night for some reason. I was thinking too much and too hard. Haha. Drifted off into a fitful sleep.. Woke up feeling unrested. Oh wells. Wanted to go gym. Haha but then started listening to my show recordings to see which is the best to use as a demo for portfolio and got too caught up. Ended up not going to gym. BAH! Just as well.

Had a kinda epiphany yesterday on the way to the family gathering (yang's birthday! Lol) It was actually kind of a branch off of something i learnt from xyz. Her msn nick was something about her being only 50% and so I asked what it was about. Apparently her friend told her that in a relationship, each party can only do his/her 100%, which contributes to 50% of the relationship.

At that point all I thought was "true, true.." and i didn't think more of it. Later, however, some time after church and before arriving at yang's place, I was thinking about how if I put my mind to something, and am determined to see it through, things almost always work out. Like getting Lasik, going to UB, getting my dental surgery... Things that I wasn't too sure would happen but was determined enough to see through.. Granted, the last one isn't done yet but well.. It's well on its way. So I was thinking. If I were to be determined enough to make my relationship (hypothetical) work, i'm sure I would fulfill my 50%. All the relationship would need is the other party's 50% for it to be a guaranteed success. It doesn't even need to be 50%. It could be just 30% and the relationship would have an 80% chance of working out and those are pretty good odds already.

The only problem now is finding out whether or not the other party is willing to give his/her 100% (which = 50% of the relationship).. And I think this is often the most problematic part of every relationship. Sometimes, people are just too selfish to give of themselves entirely, so you end up with maybe a half-hearted effort, leading to just 25% of the relationship. However, I feel that most times, problems in relationships occur when/because neither party is aware of how much the other party is giving, or when/because one party starts to doubt the amount of effort the other party is putting in.

I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say this. Insecurity is often the mother of all breakups. When you can't be sure of what the other person is thinking, you start to withdraw and start giving less. Maybe you want to protect yourself, or maybe you think it isn't worth it if the other party isn't even trying. Slowly, both parties start to withdraw, start to quarrel, and that's when the relationship goes down the path of no return.

I think this theory applies not only to steady relationships. It also applies to crushes, burgeoning relationships, relationships between friends, family, colleagues, between a company and its employee, a nation and her citizens.. Though when we include institutions then it becomes very weird to personify them and say how much they are 'giving' because technically a nation has already given you its all and can't really withdraw.. It also applies to bloggers and their readers (hehehe. i'm blogging my ass off and no one is reading/commenting!!! *angry*), teachers and students, doctors and patients, so on and so forth!

Of course in each context there's always a different story but yea. If we could all give our 100%, or even just 80%, so many things would have such higher odds of getting done.

For me, of course, I just wish.. well. hmm. haha i'll say this somewhere else, some other time.

Anyways yesterday was yang's birthday party. it was fun! he had 2 little friends come over and we played with them a bit. Hung out with the cousins and had quite a lot of fun heh. Ding lost his peter petrelli hair and has good looking hair now! Oh and got a work-blazer thing from Godma.. Us ladies should run some kind of co-op. haha. Yea.

Ok i'm going to watch shanghai knights now hahahaha. See y'all soon.


like i said, I just wish I could know for sure if you were giving your 100%. I know I'll give mine. I'll try!

guess it's time to blog before everything piles up again!

so i last blogged on thursday when i had a loooong dreary day. my schooldays, particularly tuesdays and thursdays, are kinda horrible coz my schedule goes like this:

0900 - 1030: COM326 Public Speaking
1500-1630: MGG150 Business and Society
1700-1830: Tuition

so yea.. and between 1030 to 1500 i have ta stay in school and stuff. Which is ok because I have time to spend having lunch with Ann =) And chatting with Joce. Hehe. I'm gonna make full use of that time and learn jap from joce! Yay. But come Tuesday I'll have to go for my dental appointment at 11am after the first class... Haha. Can't wait to hear the dentist's verdict and see what kinda work I should get.. Then it'll all be a matter of scheduling the surgeries!! Haha it's quite a done deal.. I've already spoken to my parents so i just can't wait now. Perfect smile coming up in a month or so!!! YAY.

So anyway yea, my Tuesdays and Thursdays are just draggy and dreary. On top of that, I have lecturers that I seriously detest.. The Public Speaking teacher isn't so bad. She has this cute little Southern drawl which makes me giggle every 5 mins, but she has a very strict, regimented idea of what Public Speaking is so... Not my kinda professor.

The MGG150 guy was supposed to be Bob Foo!!!! I'd wanted to have him as my prof coz he taught Chris and my Dad before and they both said he's good so I was really looking forward to it... Yarn didn't like him though.. But I'd personally met him before (when he was my dad's mentor we went to his house once or twice) and I thought he wasn't all that bad! Plus it'd be nice to have someone have taught both my dad and myself before mwahaha. Then we can have a comparison of who's the better student. HAHA. A little bit of family rivalry here. hee.

But anyway as it turned out.. They changed it to some guy whose name I shan't mention.. He's SUCH AN ANNOYING THING!!! On the first day he asked us to guess what's different about him from the other local lecturers.. Nick said that he has a different accent and he kinda said no. Then when we finally gave up after like 30mins, he said it's coz he speaks differently. -___-"" WTF. Then he showed us his NY driver's license on the visualizer and said he's the only local lecturer who has this. !!! I felt like kicking his newyorkborn ass. Then during the lesson he keeps going on and on about how things are different in America, about how small Singapore is (like he took out a copy of the Wall Street Journal Asia and read out every story from cover to cover, just to make the point that there wasn't a single story about Singapore in there).. How insignificant Singapore is, how it takes 8hours to drive from Buffalo to NYC (and saying that it's normal in the States to have to drive so far and not like Singapore where an hour's drive takes you anywhere) I'm like, I KNOW OK! WE ALL MADE THAT DRIVE/RIDE BEFORE YOU ARROGANT KNOWitALL.

After 20mins of that i was clenching my fists and holding onto stuff just so I wouldn't start screaming/hitting him. It was really annoying!!! He did the same thing during the 2nd lesson too! OMG annoying. Part of me started wondering if I was being so annoying too when I talk about the States with my friends.. If it really is annoying, friends, please let me know. I'll stop it i promise.

So yea. Rant over. Then Fridays I have just one lesson - NTR109/110 (Nutrition in Practice) at 1130am to 130pm.. The lecturer is some Indian lady with the strongest Indian accent I've ever encountered.. At least, it's the strongest I've encountered in a lecturer. Seriously when she said "Nineteen ninety nine" i almost died trying to figure out what the hell she was saying. And she was killing me with her semi-monotone and general anal-ism. ARGH.

Anyways so last Friday after a loooong draggy nutrition class (where I seriously wished I was at the WRUB General meeting instead ><) I went to meet my cousin Charmaine for a day of chats and shopping (oh and many AM alerts. hahaha)! Her sis (my cuz) Beatrice joined us with her friend Ginny/Jeanie later too. It was a great day. I'll let the pics do the talking =)

[images had their color and lighting edited courtesy of charmaine!]















Hehe. Yeps. Nice long day of camwhoring too. haha. Yays. Barring the stupid nutrition lesson, I had a really really happy day on Friday =D


Yesterday (Saturday) was spent slacking away at home, goodness knows i needed it. Chatted some online. Yea that was about it. Lots of fb activity tho hahaha.

Today. Slacking too! Whee. And then I'm going to church later, followed by family gathering with the maternal side. Yup. Oh yea. Charmaine's my cousin on the paternal side. Yup.


So anyways, I've been having reeeeaally weird dreams. REALLY weird dreams. Hmm.


Song for today... Aye. I have no idea coz I'm still really loving Breathless by Corinne Bailey Rae! Go listen to it if you haven't! The lyrics are right down there! (OH it just started playing on the playlist!!! YESS! haha) PS i have my blog playlist on 24/7 nowadays hehehe. I truly love it =)

What i really like about the song Breathless is mainly the melodic lines of the chorus, especially the line "There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity" yea. The ascending scales/motif.. Super hot. haha. The instrumentation is really great too! I like songs where the music surrounds me in a really big way... With a great bass line and drums.. Haha. Plus Corinne's voice is AMAZING. Can you say AMAZING? I love how her voice breaks at all the right places... The first "breath" in the first chorus, the "ni" in the word "synchronicity".... Sighhhh.. hehe Ok yea listen to the damn song already! =)


funny how i wanna hold on again just because of some things. haha. when i was all ready to move on too! dang.
