The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

okay..so i haven't been blogging for a few days....

know saying this will make me a sad basket case but working for the past one and a half days tire me out like completely. i fell aslp STANDING on the train.

i know. it's only one and half days..i'm old and tired kay?

anyways..today's post will be on the NBC concert as obviously stated by the title. but i shall repeat it in case there're ppl out there like me who don't read titles.

it was a more subdued and laid-back event compared to the week before. somehow, the excitement and tension sort of died away. oh well! it was still rather fun at times though.

bingqing and i acting as jedis! haa..*wown wown wown* oops! which reminds me that i haven't send the photos to him and his bro.


we then turned our attention to gerald. we took delight in torturing him man. traumatised that poor young man is. haa..kevin suggested us gel-ing his and bingqing's hair. bingqing took off so.....


we had to take a photo of our final piece didn't we. oh yeah..btw it was terence who styled his hair in the end since we the guy-hair-know-nothing-s just messed his hair up.


a new era for gerald as he discovers that gel is a necessity for all men hence the pose.


as usual we hopped on the bus to vch. beth and i.


and opposite us were derrick and shijia.



i declare derrick a photo-whore. i found like 5 pictures of him SELF-TAKEN MIND YOU in my cam.


our bus which carried the woodwinds, double basses and percusionists!


reaching vch, we had to wait as usual.


so we took more photos...shijia and i.


shijia beth and i tried to take a photo together using my cam.


in the end it was the picture on shijia's cam that turned out the best.


the guest band from japan was super entertaining. reminded me of our old tkgs days.


they were damn disciplined.


lin sheng our conductor!


and the coveted trophy. we only get to keep this if we won three years in a row. and i think i almost destroyed it.


had to take a peekture with it!


went back to the bandroom to take more photos. with lihao!


shijia and i with ms chew. damn. she really looks like one of us.


and ending it all with my section ppl. you're the best peeps! 'til next time.....

i just met the best receptionist in all the companies i've been to.

great personality. great mother. fast and efficient. patient. and a very good mentor.

taught me lots of stuff about life too in that short 4 hours.

gonna stop being scared of pushing myself to do stuff. instead i shall just try my best.

aaaaah...i'm walking in the light.
finally band life is going to end for a few months for me that is if i decide to join fiesta. MIXED feelings again..

was like totally distracted the whole of the time today at vch. it's not that my mind was somewhere else. my mind was just nowhere. so i was there stoning most of the time. the only time i felt real fear was just before i headed into the hall. didn't bring the gong as there weren't enough manpower. it struck me that i had to bow an unfamiliar gong and made sure i could create at least some sound out of it. i said a little prayer and thank god it was answered. it was tkgs who provided the instruments and the gong was indeed familiar to me. just how many times have i carried it up and down the stairs of tkgs?

the only other time i was present on planet earth was when i spied the chicken pie on the steps. went so close as to touching the box before derrick came along and yelled, 'move the instruments.' damn!

it's funny how sometimes you know you can't touch whimsical dreams yet your head keeps leading you back to them like how moths get attracted to flames knowing damn well they'll be burned.

there were so many times i went really near thin ice. thank god my prayer held strong and there was always something that stopped me.

all this is getting really jaded.

right! back to reality. found some really amusing peektures on my lappie. finders keepers loser weepers. i'm gonna post them ms b! haa..

two of the cutest guys in my life. no. make that three since two of them are twins. haa..not telling which one has a twin.

cutie #1


and cutie #2


i lol-ed damn hard when i saw this. yes at 2am with bernice sleeping beside me.


how bernice would look like if she had my ears. hahahahahaha..it's damn funny lar!

hey! we might actually then look just a little like sisters!

right. band pictures would be out tmrw i guess. no mood to put them up now. was supposed to meet sher and leanne to sign up for our basic theory test today like finally but sher made a booboo and thought it was tues. tues it is then! which means cycling with shijia on wed! and damn work on thurs and friday! what.shall.i.do.tmrw.what.shall.i.do.tmrw. i guess since it's 2.30am now. i will sleep until 2pm then watch some telly. which would just about settle my monday. nothing better than good telly to chase away monday blues.
yay! pharm camp photos are finally out! have been waiting so long for them to appear so that i can blog bout the camp.

i arrived on the first night. erm..that's not very accurate. more precisely, my father drove me down in the wee hours of the morning on the second day. stayed up with joy to complete our board game for the our games the nxt morning! i worked the day before lae..was so tired i konked out on the sofa at 6am in front of everyone.

an hour later, i dragged myself out of the chalet to changi beach for the games.

first game was to pass toothpaste with ONLY your face, no hands allowed!

11 ppl on one spreadsheet?

damn! singapore really no space!

xuena is in pharmacy too! one day before she left for hongkong.

they had to fish fruits out of this murky water with only their mouths..euyew!

and they had to travel from station to station like this.

the freshies were all so sporting. for this game, they had to pass cups of mealworms through their tee shirt sleeves. i would have whined non-stop but they all did it without batting an eyelid.

there was this station where the groups had roll a die to decide the number of sauces that will be mixed...

but not bad noe. they get to use plain crackers to go along with their mixed sauce.

i couldn't tahan it after the games i went back home to slp. afterall i had a straight bus home!

came back 4 hours later recharged for fright night!!!! boo.....

the fright night cast. haa...it was super fun scaring the freshies. i acted as an unwed mother.

scaaaaary....

we used chalet k for the fright night. it was situated at the bottom of the old changi hospital. that night, nobody dared to slp in the house. so wee ping and i bunked in. after lying there in the dark waiting to scare people, the house didn't appear so scary afterall. the rest of the seniors had to squeeze 10 ppl to a room. while both of us had our own bed! mmmm..

oh yeah. she won the fright night best actress for scaring at least 5 freshies to tears.

the nxt day was beach games at sentosa!!! dilys and i sneaked off to use the toilets at rasa sentosa.

acting all touristy! yikes. i couldn't get the makeup from the day before off as i had no makeup remover.

it's not a visit to the beach if your don't play volleyball!!

which i did with a few other girls while the rest of the freshies were playing war games!

that night we had a buffet and talentime.

waving our hands to the music. is it my imagination or do i look a tad bit uncomfortable here?

haa..this picture is damn funny. i'm drinking as usual and kiki is licking her lips!

one for the camera.

euyew. guy-guy plays again. the half-naked guy lying in the chair is acting as rose in the scene titanic: jack painting rose. *shivers down my spine*

pearlyn, huilin, weiling and me.

overall, it was a good camp for me since it was slack. yet! i managed to get to know so many more people in my faculty. go pharmers!

okay..here are some more photos i koped from other people.

derrick acting all spastic.


the tampines peeps.


this was the camera everyone else were looking at. -__-


me and shijia.


second suite march. we're all acting!


puaysian called today in the morning at 8.30am. it was after 30 missed calls that i finally woke up to the sound of the phone vibrating. i'm sorry babe! spent an hour plus talking to him. it was good to hear from him finally. rid me of evil thoughts.

and after planning to sulk cause i've to wait 8 more days to hear from him again, bbs electronics called and got me down to work for them.

i swear the big guy up there is watching over me. occupying my time when i'm about to enter depressed mode. for that i'm thankful.

it was also a good feeling getting cash after the end of the day. for that i hope the recept there keeps taking leave!

coincidentally, as puaysian arrive in canada, carmen has just departed the very same place to head back to hot and humid singapore. the song 'it's a small world' chimes in my head at this realisation i look forward to more visits to ecp and stingray eating with her!

i'm going to leave you guys with this hilarious clip of a jap game show in a library.


Japanese Game Show

so today was the national band competition. it's kind of funny how tj manged to sweep the first prize spot away. wasn't really expecting to win. lots of mixed feeling pouring in today. not only cause of the music. but cause of certain people.

took lots and lots of photos so i'm just gonna let the photos do the talking. but please watch out for the terrifying nerdy me. in tj uniform no less. don't ask why! i was rioting AGAINST it.

the beautiful tickets. i was expecting printed black words on thin paper but it turned out otherwise.


with huiyin and shijia with my darl gong at the back.


me and beth. yikes! really nerdy. was rushing out to meet my mum and sis for lunch which resulted in me forgetting to wear contacts! luckily my specs were stashed in my bag. (i mean luckily i didn't have time to pack my bag.)


we headed to the toilet to tie our hair. completing our transformation into the jc student of yonder years.


shijia whom i've alot to thank for. being the organised other to my super unorganised life. wouldn't have survived and enjoyed all the band practs without you. apologies for having always to drag me home after band practs. it's been good having somebody to depend on.


okay. the photos are not in order but i'm too lazy and tired to care. haa! don't i look damn geeky in glasses.


the entire band in the band room.


the girls in our section. spot the teacher!


our marimba and derrick's stevens mallet. so white and precious.


elizabeth trying to prove to me that taking photo from a higher level makes you look better. hmmm!


random shot of beth.


and another random of bing xiong. he and his bro LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE! YIKES!!!


one of my favourite shots. though i look yucky. i stole derrick's glasses and he's acting all gay!


four gals and a kevin.


with bing xiong! he's damn cute.


beth and lihao. ex-P and -VP.


ms chew and lihao.


muahaa..me with the three younger guys.


our secret weapon!


dearest melody came to support!


where else but vch.


section photo! damn. everyone not looking at my cam but me!


with bing xiong and shijia.


the grand which costs hundreds of thousands.


i managed to take a shot before the music started.


and i almost fell down on stage! was dragging the cymbals and its stand down the riser for the second song when i tripped near the windchimes. thanks god i didn't sprain my ankle! i twisted it though. sigh!


gaylin and derrick with lihao posing in the background.


huiping cuicui and xuena came down to support!


oura with rjband.


met cuicui and huiping in the ladies!


meroy was there playing for smu too.


shouts of jubilation and air-punches when the results were announced.


with ling-sheng. the top conductor that day. both his bands clinched the top spots that day.


my dearest section mates against the memorable concert hall.


xuena and me. she's in pharmacy too so i expect to be seeing alot of her in the future. was damn shagged and bogged down with a terrible headache by this time.


lihao with us. i grouchi-ly asked him why he stole my bow, forgetting completely that his girlfriend all but plays the string bass and that, definitely isn't mine.


ending this post with this photograph...


the band indeed has held many special memories for me. to think the primal reason i joined the band in sec 1 was to play the flute. i was actually choosing between netball and band. but when i missed the round 2 netball selections because the senior in charge didn't inform those in my class who were selected, i decided to join band. again in jc, i vowed never to return to the band and this time joined netball. but beth and shijia dragged me back for a practice and i fell in love with the magic of playing in a band, creating music.

i really miss the times we had practising together. having lunch together. going to a foreign land, bangkok to be exact, together. sharing our first alcoholic drink. laughing and running away from each other. crashing people's room. talking in the dark 'til we fell asleep.

i'm glad i chose tj instead of vj. i'm glad tj band has an active alumni. and for the first time, i have to declare, i'm glad i joined the band.
days seem to be blurring into weeks. hmmm..not sure what i've accomplished this holiday.

3 months is a long long time. haven't been working much. haven't been exercising much. haven't been doing anything much. maybe save for daydreaming.

band competition is this sunday. gosh. didn't i just started turning up for practise awhile ago. that was when school hadn't even ended yet. sigh! time really is flying.

somehow i still don't have the motivation to go early to practise. i know there's something wrong with my playing. i just don't feel the urge to improve. i'm freaked out though, by the knowledge that a certain conductor will be there watching our band.

have been waiting for puaysian to call since wednesday. he's supposed to reach usa by then. i wonder how's he now. funny cause life carries on normally without him. just the occasional pangs of nostalgia. all the same though i wish he was back here. haven't been able to whine to anyone for a long long time. somehow i think i'm stronger as a person without him. with him, i know he's there watching my back so i can somehow be a softer person.

and i've been going mad and loose with all the money i've earned. bought so many things that i've been wanting to get since a long time ago but it turns out that they're still lying in their packaging unused.

oh it sounds like i'm lamenting about life. but really. i feel okay. just a tad bit sorry that time is passing freaking-ly fast.
hmmm..i don't know where to start blogging! blame it on me being lazy...shall start from way before puaysian left.

today's the first day since he left that i have nothing on..woke up at 1pm! yay! it feels good waking up this late..on the other hand. i think i've just lost one whole morning.

somtime last month, puaysian and i gave in to our sakae craving and went to the suntec branch to pig out.


while waiting for 3pm to arrive ('cause the teatime buffet only started at 3) we made use of the time to take peektures! since he's not in spore, he won't kill me for posting this picture!


him pigging out. i don't like that thing he's holding. i know there's a name for that kind of sushi. but i forgot what. is it called maki? i HATE maki..i can't see the nice stuffing properly at all.


i like the suntec branch. they're damn damn efficient. we ate so much! our favourite sushi is the unagi one. we ordered ten at a go!


damn full after that lar. i could still go on. but i was scared of getting the same tummy pains i had after the steamboat thing at sab's place.


went to take photos with the marche cows after that. he chose one with red horns. but i think he was just too embarrassed and chose the nearest one to him.


but i took my time and chose ms action-hero cow. yay! go pink!


met my mum after that for more shopping at mango and dinner. we saw this.


made of clay! angel clay to be exact. but they looked damn soft and real.

and this photo was taken on the day i went with the pharmers to recce the changi beach site for the camp games. note the huge ship at the back. sigh! the coincidences.


rushed home after that cause my mum planned a lunch at meritus mandarin.


at...hmm..the photo says it all.


had to take the lift to the 72 floor and then we still had to climb up a flight of nice-carpeted stairs.


to be greeted by a live 3-men band. i stopped at the penultimate step to take this photo. when i climbed the last step, my heels got stuck. and the double bass player grinned at me. thanks arh.


yay. chocolate fondue. too many servings made you pukish though. and there were very very little food.


the oven-baked vol au vent was one of the nicer things.


there were snails too!



and the oyster bar.


i tried both the snails and the oysters. funny thing was i managed to swallow the snail but i spat out the oysters. i never did like the 'hum's in char kway teow and laksa! the snails tasted like the sauce at first. garlicky. and then they tasted like the soil in the garden. no. i've never eaten garden soil before. but i smelled it before. and the snails tasted the way garden soil smelled.

my favourite pastries! the first time i tried them was at robinsons. didn't see them ever since then. they looked like hamburgers. and they had jam or cream inside them. anyway knows what they're called?


deserts galore.

they all looked too pretty to be eaten. and i guess that's true. they didn't taste as good as they looked.



and the best part about a revolving restaurant. yeap. the view! every changing. i could even see the esplanade.


my dad had to leave earlier. leaving the three of us girls to go shop.


sigh. the digicam pics are taking like forever to load. which makes me realise i'm late as usual. gg for band practice later. but i still want to check out what's left of the zara sale and i wanna see how this crumpler backpack actually looks in the shops.


so i'll leave the rest of the blogging for another day! ciaoz!
haven't been posting much in the past few days because there have been so many new stuff taking place in my life.

have been squeezing so many stuff into my time to keep me occupied while puaysian is away and i must say that it has worked at keeping me busy and tired.

will be putting up pictures of my new stuff and a new pet soon!

haa..guess what animal it is?
hey everyone!

i will be down at the LIME flea market today selling stuff! come down to cineleisure *scape to check it out!
no mood to blog. no mood at all. bah! but i shall try. have to note down all the funny stupid stuff that happened to me the past few days.

let's start with yesterday..well. since i started work yesterday!

went back to a familiar place. Sasol.


i like the office and the people. but it seems to me that disastrous things happen to me when i go near that place.

so cause i was feeling moody that puaysian is sailing somewhere on the seas and i cannot talk to or see him, i made up my mind to head home as soon as possible.

boo boo #1
right on the dot at 6pm, i grabbed my bag and dashed out of the office. right in front of me was this woman. she had just released the magnetic lock on the glass doors and i could see the doors slowly like super snail-likely closing. so i walked towards it hoping to squeeze out before the magnetic locks on the glass doors connected. i heard the sickening 'thud' of the magnets connect just a nanosecond before my hands reached out to open the doors. and then it sounded as if i was this stupid idiot who doesn't know i've to press the side button to unlock the doors! sigh!

boo boo #2
remember me saying that to enter the lift lobby, i've to exchange my id for something like an ez-link card. which i then have to use on something similar to the mrt gate-like thingamajig. i stood for the longest while waiting for the gates to close before tapping my pass. but still it didn't. the moment i stepped in between them. they clammed onto my body with the most frightening sound. i heard a guy gasp! yes a guy. i dunno. maybe he's gay. shucks. then while i was returning the pass. the indian security guard with a moustache went yada yada yada bout what i have to wait until the gates are closed. yada yada. yada.

boo boo #3
well all that happened ydae. today while talking to one of my colleague, i was figuring how to screw on the cap to my thermal cup and i promptly spilt hot water all over the floor.

boo boo #4
i actually asked my colleague whether i needed to cleaned up the water. haa. like duh! she pointed me to this mop in the corner of the pantry. the moment i tried to mop. the mop fell out of hands onto the floor. sigh! my colleague concluded that i don't do housework.

and for the first time in my whole life. the cleaning auntie declared that my black toe polish was cute. like hello?

and just two days after puaysian sails off, i've to work in an office that deals with chemicals transport. kept hearing keywords like, 'port' 'vessel' argh!! and they even decked the whole office with sailing and port maps.

like blardy hell! i even get a view of the real stuff. my desk with a view.


watching the huge vessels sail pass me made me wonder how far away puaysian is now. cause those things appear to move really really slowly.

oh well. he'll be able to tell me when he reaches yantian on sunday night!

and in hollywood. black is the new blonde! snitched the photos from kenny sia's page.

haa. two out of three of them are my favourite laydees! obviously paris isn't one of them. i'm on team nicole.

britney looking oh so hot while she's preggers with #2.


and so what if ashlee is back to blonde now. i liked her more in the past anyways.


but i've got to admit paris is looking good with black hair.


well. that's it. think it's not bad considering that i signed on to blogger to just type a sentence.

i'm going to an animal resort tmrw. nitey.
