Life of A Freaking Fantastic Fangirl

AKB48 Vol. 6!

2012-01-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

Entrance to Warehouse.

Went to my only 2nd AKB48 concert in Singapore. Yes, yes, I am a bad fan. HAH. Went to the 6pm show and mainly cause of the beautiful Masuda Yuka :3

Now I know not to come earlier since all I did was sit around and wait. Next time, I'm just gonna come an hour before the starting time.

Crowd outside the theater

I had a bit of luck cause the block that I chose, A, was the 3rd to go into the theater. So I was very happy.

View from my seat

Bought a light stick this time so my hands weren't so awkward. Overture came on and everyone was pumped. Woot woot.

From my hazy memory, the concert started with EbiKachuu. And some other songs, crap, I can't remember right now. Then each member introduced herself. IMO, I think their English is getting better. Like, they don't have to write on their hands and their pronunciation is good. Nacchi introduced herself and then said that she and Yuka-chan were sharing a hotel room and that last night, in her own words, "Suddenly, Yuka kissed me."

Everyone went "OOOHHHH" and Yuka-chan was like "Choto matte, chotto matte" and the rest were like "EHHHH". Nacchi then said "It's a joke." But some of the fans were chanting "KISS, KISS" and everyone was trying to calm down and Yuka and Nacchi were like "JOKE, JOKE" Hahaha, damn funny.

Well, the concert went on but I had eyes only on Yuka-chan. Thankfully, she stayed on my side of the stage so I got to ogl- I mean, watch her more. Hehehe. Idk, seeing her live made me like her even more. How she's always smiling and looking like she's having a blast. She also gives her all and made me smile throughout the entire concert.

I swear she pointed at me during 'Hebirote' which made me all gooey inside and think I might just die. HAHAHA. They got changed for the encore and the next stage will be SDN's last Singapore stage I think. Then we shouted all their names and they came out. They sang 'Flying Getto', 'KazeFu', 'HebiRote' and 'Hiko...' something, lol.

It was then the handshake time and nothing came to my mind as usual. The first person was Natsumii then Yuka-chan and I think I said/whispered "Yuka-chan daisuki" to her. Well, she smiled and shook my hand so I considered it a successful mission. Everyone else went by in a blur but I remember Amina being really friendly to the guy in front of me who said that she was his oshi. She was like "Honto desu ka?" and I think she said don't lie or something lolol.

Last person was Mayuchi and then I waited till they went back in before going outside to see them off. Waited for a while before they came out but I was in the wrong position to see them clearly, shucks. Anyways, I find it adorable when they take pictures of the fans, lol. Waved them off then I went home.

Awesome night as usual. I wonder why I never went to more concerts. Should start starving and go to more more concerts! Super fun~

Now back to my boring life~ Bye Bye!

Thoughts

2012-01-23T16:45:00.003+08:00

Hmm. I wonder if I'm too... giving. They say I should be more assertive but the problem is, I honestly don't mind getting the afternoon or morning shifts because I have nothing on.

Let's see if I get to choose the schedule next week. The only things I want is Friday morning. That's all, lol.

I have 1 more PFA left and I need one more PT client. Ahhhhh.

We have only like, 3 more weeks left. That is fasstttt.

I'm going to the AKB concert this Saturday. Only my 2nd concert. I'm such a bad fan, I know. I cannot miss this chance to catch Yuka-chan! So I'm probably gonna buy the ticket on Wednesday, since I'm on the morning shift on that day.

Well, to end off this again messy post. A picture of ikemen Acchan!

My reaction when I saw it:

Teehee.

Bye bye!

Year of the Dragon!

2012-01-23T16:29:00.003+08:00

Today is the start of the Chinese New Year and so we welcome the year of the Dragon!

New Year

2012-01-06T22:44:00.001+08:00

Ok, first blog post of 2012.

Hmm... 3rd week of gym and still stuck at 4 PFAs and only 1 PT client... Maybe.

6 more weeks left o.O

Well, like hasn't been that eventful except for parents going AWOL for a few days. Trouble~trouble~trouble

The good/bad thing about my mom is she's too forgiving.

Ok, I lost my train of thought so I'll leave this messy blog post here. Tata

Christmas!

2011-12-26T15:39:00.000+08:00

Well, late by a day but who cares right. Just wanted to share this video of my brighter than gems bias, Fany Fany Tiffany!

She sang an original 'Christmas Dream' before covering Teenage Dream. I wish they'd make a full Christmas Dream song. It sounded lovely.

Back to school again tomorrow. Boo.

1st week of gym

2011-12-22T23:28:00.001+08:00

Vincent being annoying lol

First week of gym stopover is almost over. Had alternate PM and AM shifts this week.

Gym is kinda ok. I'm still stressed about PFA and PT. I have only done 1 PFA and my PT client is pending :(

7 more PFAs! Need to be brave and ask people. I'm weird. I think I'm more outgoing then before, but sometimes I slip back into my shell of shyness where I'm too afraid to talk and approach people. So weird :/

Well, last day of week 1 tomorrow and then a long weekend!

Sprained ankle!

2011-12-14T15:54:00.000+08:00

Biggest happening on Monday. We were walking towards the club beside the school to play pool as we had an hour's break. Walking down the stairs when suddenly, I don't even know how, I fell and I heard this loud crack from my ankle and then it was painful.

Seriously, it hurt like a bitch. Everyone was stunned for a few seconds while I held my ankle and tried to bear the pain. First thing everyone said was "Must be Clarisse!" LOL

Suddenly I cried like a baby for a while but then everyone was cracking jokes so I laughed. Khai piggybacked me back to the EPM room even though I am as heavy as a cow. They brought my shoe in saying that's the only thing left of me hahahaha.

Sat outside the EPM room icing my ankle which was swollen like a tennis ball. After a while, the pain subsided. Went back in, debriefed for netball before going to the clinic. Boon Pin pushed me on the roller chair as I couldn't possibly hop all the way.

Sat on the chair while BP, Sah and Yvonne tried to get a cab. Funny cause there was a lot of cabs but all of them were busy apparently. After a few minutes, finally got one and Sah and Yvonne followed me to the clinic near my house.

Hopped all the way to the clinic and waited for my turn. Finally went in, the doctor greeted Sah like they knew each other which made me LOL. The doctor then proceeded to press on my ankle which caused me to shout and scream. Hahaha.

Gave me so many freaking pills when my ankle is sprained. Meh. After that, hopped back home and thanked them and they went off.

This is what my foot currently looks like. It doesn't hurt that much and I can move around but I can't fully use the foot yet.

Will be interesting tomorrow, hobbling to idk where for briefing.

And Mr Damien said something which struck me. "At least you know you have good friends." I couldn't agree more.

Last 2 events!

2011-12-14T15:37:00.000+08:00

As of this post, EPM is kinda done since we've submitted all of our reports and done of all our events.

On 4/12/11, we were assigned as anti doping chaperons at the Standard Chartered Marathon. I was assigned to the winner of the female category. Basically, we just had to follow the athletes around and made sure no funny business occurred until they had passed their urine test.

A lot of waiting until we ended around 1pm and got paid $50 for it. Hehe.

--

Last weekend, we had our last event which was the Nations Cup. All of us were doing gate keeping. I was assigned to the VIP gate with Clare. Our job was mundane, just opening doors and pushing aside curtain and making sure no one used the team's changing room.

The cool part though, was getting to see the teams up close so it was cool. We spent most of the time watching the matches, peeping from behind the curtains, lol. Singapore lost in the final to Fiji which sucked but at least we didn't get trashed.

--

On Monday, we handed in all of our reports which kinda meant that EPM was over. Sad. Well here's the montage I made for all of the events.

Movie and MAMA 2011!

2011-11-29T22:14:00.001+08:00

Watched 'You are the Apple of My Eye' with JZ at Cathay Cineleisure just now. I was looking forward to it because judging by the trailers, the movie looked really good. Went in when the lights were off and our seats were the furthest in, at the corner. Cue me and JZ stepping on people's toes and apologizing repeatedly, hehehe.

OMG, the movie was amazing. But very bittersweet. The lead actor is so cute and the lead actress is pretty. The film deserved its NC-16 rating, lol, cause there was a lot of masturbating and coarse language. Funny part was when he was learning English loudly and his neighbour got angry and they shouted at each other.

Man: I FUCK YOU
Actor: I FUCK YOU
Man: I FUCK YOU
Actor: I FUCK YOU
Man: I FUCK YOUR MOTHER

It had the whole audience LOL. It was funny and sweet and the ending wasn't what I hoped for but at least they kissed :3 I defo wanna watch it again.

Off to PS to have lunch at Pizza Hut. Monthly PH trip complete!

---

Home to catch the MAMA Singapore 2011! K POP bonanza right here in my home country!

So it was a war between K POP fans and non K Pop fans. I effing didn't care, I just spammed my Twitter with whatever shit I wanted to. I don't usually spam so this was the only night I'd probably would. Kept saying "U MAD" trolololol.

ALL OF THE PERFORMANCES ROCKED. Seriously. I have my biases but I don't hate on any group. Of course, my SNSD won some awards :>

Their performance was awesome, a totally dope remix of 'The Boys'. They did make some mistakes but overall, another splendid performance from Korea's top idol girl group.

Of course when SMTown dominated, everyone bitched and whined. Haha, it's a popularity contest and all the popular kids won :P

So now I'm sick and debating if I should go to school tomorrow. Gonna sleep and wake up early to see if I'm not sick.

Bye bye!

More events!

2011-11-26T23:32:00.001+08:00

Yes, my life if just full of them at the moment due to EPM.

Last weekend

With the president of SOS

On Saturday, 19 Nov 2011, we went to Bendemeer Secondary School for the Special Olympics Singapore Young Athletes Program. Basically, kinda like a sports day but for kids with special needs. I was in charge of a games station, which was Leaping/Jumping.

This was our first time dealing with special kids so we didn't know what to expect. We weren't really prepared but our team is great. I think we adapted really well and it was quite a joy to see the kids having fun :D

---

That night, we went to Tampines to stay over at Sah's house cause our next event, the Solomon X-Trail Run was held at Tampines Bike Trail and the reporting time was 5am which meant no public transport.

We actually planned to watch a movie but it fell through when Clare was late so we decided to go and eat. Haha.

After eating, when to Sah's place and I tried to sleep since I knew we'd be dead tired if we didn't. Slept in Sah's room while the guys were in her brother's room. BP, ZF and Clare sat outside to watch football but apparently Clare fell asleep and the guys disturbed her cause she snored, lol.

We were road marshals for the event. Just directing the runners and shouting words of encouragement. Which I didn't do, haha, cause I didn't want to shout.

With our IC, Michelle

---

Today was my event, Sport Stacking at Serangoon Gardens Country Club. Had a bad start to the day. Set my alarm at 7:15am when I was supposed to set it an hour earlier. This was bad cause we were meeting at 7:45am -__- Rushed and took a taxi to Serangoon MRT. My fail sense of direction meant I walked one whole round trying to find the rest before agreeing to meet at the bus interchange and feeling sheepish cause I was last. Oopsies.

The event was ok, quite fun, to me at least. I did judging, which is an easy job. The Philippines team were the noisiest and fastest too. They caused quite a commotion, making everyone divert their attention to them and making the stackers lost their concentration.

Annoying thing was the coach couldn't accept that the team lost to Singapore so he showed video replay and said that it was a fumble. After debating they decided to replay but actually, Syafiq had judged correctly.

With the WSSA people

We stayed way past the time we were supposed to, leaving only at 9pm instead of 6pm. Funny thing, we literally ran for the bus which was hilarious. We were joking at first until everyone started being serious and really running, lol.

Ate at NEX's KFC before going home.

Now here I am. Good night!

Full weekend

2011-11-14T10:09:00.001+08:00

Another full weekend with events. Long post so brace yourself.

With the team minus Andrew

To start it off, we had the Bull Charge on Friday at the Marina Bay Floating Platform. It was the first time ever I had been there so that was exciting. The whole area was cordoned off so we, being too lazy to find the real entrance, just pushed the barricades aside and went in. LIKEABOSS, lol.

Waited till like 12pm before someone told us to do something. Packed 500 goodie bags which were missing calendars. The work went by quite fast since there were many hands. After that, Serena and the team finally came and we did minor work. Got to go into the VIP room which had air con so everyone was happy, haha.

The ladies lounging around in the VIP room

After going for lunch and taking 500 hours to decide, Khai, Sah and I went to eat at LJS while the others ate at a restaurant whose name I've forgotten. Went back, Sah, Yvonne and I were pulled into doing registration.

It was easy since not many people came. Although there were minor hiccups here and there, the job finished fast and I went to join the others to watch the flag off of the start of the race. A company wore kilts while another wore matching devil hats.

Sorted out goodie bags with Syafiq and Khai which proved to be quite useless later on, lol. Stationed in the goodie bag counter and braced ourselves for the onslaught. Had to repeatedly tell people that goodie bag collection was after 7:30pm which disappointed many. The IC, Jimmy, had to bear much of the disgruntlement of the participants.

After a huge crowd had gathered, Jimmy finally said "Release the floodgates" and the people came rushing to us. Sah and I did the individuals and it was quite hectic. We were too busy and it was hard work. The whole ordeal was over in 20 minutes, which should be some kind of record, haha.

Funny incident. The Bank of America, the people with the devil caps came. ZF said to me "Speak of the devil." The lady looked at us and said "What?" And ZF was like "I was just talking to her." Which made me LOL.

Packing up, blah blah then we went to our favourite part of the day, the food. Got to eat at the VIP tent where the buffet was at. After eating, took some pictures then home.

---

On Saturday, woke up early to go to Tampines for Andrew's event briefing. A lot of confusion but Khai and I went to the park first. Waited for the others and went to the briefing. Was walking along the trail when it suddenly rained and all of us dashed to the security post for shelter. Got totally wet. We then walked to Century Square to eat at Food Culture before Khai and I left to go to Suntec for Anime Festival Asia 2011.

Met with JZ and we walked around. A lot of people and of course, cosplayers. I was just excited to see the AKB48 booth, haha. Got to take pictures with my oshis! OMG. Not really but really, heh.

Atsuko and Mariko!

Khai went and took pictures with various cosplayers, lol. I like AFA. It's where it's cool to be a geek/nerd and be weird cause no one cares.

Things I bought

JZ, Khai and me

Totally fun. Gonna go again next year ^^

---

Back to Tamp on Sunday for Sah's badminton event at the Tampines Sports Hall.

Hi!

Except doing registration with Clare, did nothing else after that. Sat around and watched them play before Sah decided to abandon ship cause we were literally doing nothing.

The guy gave us $50 which we tried to reject cause we didn't do anything but he scolded David so we accepted it. After that, went off to eat at Texas Chicken before snoozing on the bus home.

Well that's my weekend. Next weekend is gonna be packed too. See you!

More events!

2011-11-08T12:59:00.001+08:00

To continue from the previous post, the distribution was chaotic. The individuals who came far outnumbered the companies so instead of helping with the companies, I left to go help with the individuals as they had opened another booth.

Totally stressful, having to get the shirt sizes and the number tags. But we did manage it and after a while, the crowd was gone. Had a briefing and packed up and proceeded to the 25th floor where the company's office was located. The elevator ride wasn't pleasant, due to the pressure :/

After that, we actually planned to walk to Raffles Place but instead, it became this long walk to City Hall, passing various hotels and the Esplanade. Andrew kept shouting "Where's my MRT station!?" but they insisted it was nearer, lol. In the end, he followed us all the way. Arrived at City Hall and ate gelato before going to the mall and after deliberating for quite some time, went to the top of the mall to the food court. After eating, we went home.

--

On Saturday, we had David's event, which was touch rugby for this insurance company. It was quite easy and fun and lots of laughter due to this loudspeaker having a record function. The first time they pressed it, the words "Vote for PAP" came out which cracked me up so much. After that, Andrew recorded "Stea-ley ah" and kept replaying it, lol.

--

Hari Raya Haji on Sunday. Mom cooked the usual which was deliciouszxz XD

--

On Monday, since Allan called asking to help out at a booth in AMK, I agreed and went there. Easy job, since Allan did most of the work. Basically showing how stacking is done to the people and they participated and got prizes. Sold 2 stacks I think. I got paid $30 for 3 hours of doing nothing, which was a very pleasant surprise. I didn't expect to be paid honestly. This could be my new part time job, lol.

--

Today was stacking also, helping out at East Coast Primary School. Had to travel all the way to Bedok by 7:15am. Met with 2 other trainers.

The chaotic scene of hundreds of primary school kids with cups. Noisy. But some of them were cute but kept looking at me like I was some alien -__- It was ok, and again, I just stood and looked and got paid $20 for an hour's job :O This Allan guy is quite rich. Jelly~

Well, finally a full day of school tomorrow since for the past few weeks we have been taking off, haha. (^_^)V

Events!

2011-11-01T21:37:00.002+08:00

Had Sport Stacking on Sunday at Braddell Heights CC. Met the others at Serangoon MRT. People kept messaging me about where to meet, one after another, which made me laugh.

Was quite nervous about judging since it was our first time. As a judge, you basically sit down and watch the participants stack the cups and see if it's correct. If they have any fumbles, they have to fix it before continuing and stuff like that. If it's a clean run, you raise a green card, or in this case, a green cup.

The younger participants started off first and I was partnered with David. I guess they were nervous as we were because they made a lot of mistakes in their first few tries. The job was quite easy after a few rounds.

After judging, we had lunch which was Nasi Lemak and each of us got 2 packets, which the boys devoured of course. I could barely finish my 2nd pack, lol. Overall, sport stacking was fun and interesting ^^

--

Today, we went to SGX for our first time. Totally stood out with our casual clothes while the other people were wearing their office attire. Was last cause the MRT was delayed -_-

Found our way after asking for directions and looking at Syafiq's GPS. We were doing work outside of the CNBC studio so we were watching them recording it live. Commented on the news lady and all that, lol.

We packed the shirts for the various companies taking part in the Bull Charge Marathon. There were 4 Cedar girl interns and Clare and I were partnered with this Korean girl named Sujin, idk how to spell it. Quite hectic but it was ok. We finished it fast and then sat around. But then some shirts were missing so we had to double check everything. Finally found them in Syafiq's box I think, lol. Our lunch was bought by the people who were nice.

Going back there tomorrow to distribute to the people. Let's see how it goes~

Bought new Converse shoes, a pair of pants, a pair of sandals, 2 random shorts to wear at home and this Arashi movie/dorama which had an unexpected ending.

Kbye!

Sum up!

2011-10-28T21:30:00.000+08:00

A post to sum up what's been going on in my life for the past few days. With a few random pictures just for fun :)

This was our chic skeleton wearing a black tube dress, an SB hat, 'smoking' a cigarette marker and posing Vogue-ly. LOL

Cute thing ZF made using Blutack at Evergreen Sec for Yvonne's Outreach program on Thursday. Basically, we had a booth where we told the students about our course and we had a vertical jump and agility ladder for them to try out. Most of the guys tried out the vertical jump, which was a roaring success, lol.

After that, we took a long bus ride to Tampines on 969. Everyone K.Oed on the bus cause we'd been up since the morning and it was after lunch. Everyone was yawning and looking tired after the ride, lol. We had to go to Bedok View for a 'briefing' for ZF's event.

We actually did 'sai kang' work. Helped them set up the place, doing things such as moving tables, chairs, taping stuff to the floor, clearing rubbish, etc. Sah actually had to move the dust bin which cracked me up. I was sweeping the floor like Cinderella when I turned to see her holding the dust bin cover. I LOL-ed so hard. Hahaha.

Name tag for the actual event today. It was a weird but interesting competition. 3-on-3 basketball, 1-on-1 playing the PS3 then a 2-on-2 debate. I just kinda walked around cause BP and I were assigned to the debate room, which didn't start till a few hours later. I had to call the teams and bring them to the room and instruct them on what to do. Blah blah, too lazy to type, haha.

Then went to Tampines' Hershey's World and bought this Giant Bar for $5. It was funny cause the King Sized one was $3, then a bigger one was $4 before I spotted this and bought it. Heh.

Rest on Saturday then event on Sunday. Stacking! I have to train my eyes before that, lol. Judging. Scary but interesting.

TTYL!

The Girls are Back

2011-10-22T21:58:00.002+08:00

Just had to spazz about my OT9's comeback. It's pretty freaking awesome. Their title song is 'The Boys' and they released both Korean and English versions.

I love the English version just because it's so fierce and fun to hear then singing and rapping in English.

I LOVE THE BOYS. It's definitely different from their previous releases. It's totally fierce and mature and I'm loving it.

All of them look super gorgeous and I'm forever jelly that they're beautiful and I'm me. Meh.

GIRLS' GENERATION MAKE YOU FEEL THE HEAT

1st Week of EPM

2011-10-22T21:51:00.002+08:00

Done with the first week of year 2, 2nd semester, EPM.

My group mates are:

Boon Pin
Andrew
Zhao Feng
David
Syafiq
Khai
Sahidah
Yvonne
Clarisse

First week consisted of calling organizers to get events to volunteer. Or organize. We helped out with hockey. And wrecked havoc inside the EPM room when we spend 8.5 hours every day. 9-5:30pm is loooonnnggg and boring if you have nothing to do.

So they ransacked the room, played with balls, golf clubs, broke the displays on the table and found this set of speakers so now there's music in the room.

It's been ok so far. I quite like all of my team mates so it's been fun. Except we're all gonna be fat cause we keep on eating and eating. Haha. It's cold, so we freeze then go out and buy food. It's terrible. Sah and I have been eating chocolates for the past week, tsk.

Anyways, there's like 2 events next week. Should be interesting.

Real Steel

2011-10-14T22:51:00.002+08:00

Went to Cine to watch 'Real Steel' with Keciq and Khad. We planned to catch the 3:35pm movie so we were supposed to meet at 3:00pm but surprise, surprise, Khadijah was late -_- She arrived while we were eating at BK at 3:35pm, the time the movie was supposed to start. Great.

The next timing was at 4:30pm so we bought tickets to that. Goondu moment while buying tickets cause Keciq doesn't have a student pass and we were like in a mess searching. Then Khad suddenly took out her Nebo card and waved it asking "Can we use this?" The cashier lady was like, "Yes" and then we all laughed.

'Real Steel' was freaking awesome! Like seriously. Hugh Jackman was the lead and he was amazing. The action scenes were fantastic and the acting of between father and son was funny and endearing. Defo must watch.

After that, we met up with Ama and wandered around looking for a place to eat. Went all the way to Far East Plaza when we met up with her cousin and sister and we went to Lucky Plaza to eat Nasi Ayam Penyet. I didn't explore Lucky Plaza before and was amazed at the number of Indonesian restaurants, lol.

Funny thing. Keciq and I went to the washroom because I drank too much water (I tend to do that) and needed to pee. We walked and Keciq suddenly stopped cause from our line of vision, we could only see the men's washroom. We paused for a few seconds before a lady directed us to the right washroom, lol. After using it, we didn't realise we had to pay 20 cents for it and I pointed it out to Keciq and we just went "Oh" then ran away. HAHA. This is 2011. Who pays to use the washroom anymore?

Nasi Ayam Penyet was pedas even though I only ate a bit of the sauce. I seriously didn't get the 'tolerance for spicy food' gene. Sigh.

Took random pictures on the MRT with Khad and Keciq and now I'm home!

2 more days till school starts. BOO.

Pasir Ris!

2011-10-13T22:10:00.002+08:00

Took the MRT to Pasir Ris and reached there at 12:30pm, the time the movie started, lol. Waited for Shah at the interchange and then walked to Downtown East.

Bought tickets to the 2:45pm showing of 'What's Your Number?' After that, we walked around. Walked past an ATM in NTUC, lol, but it could only withdraw $50 so we search for another one. It was outside of E Hub and that ATM could also only withdraw $50. Well, took out that amount and then, we indecisive duo wandered around, thinking of what to eat. Got easily distracted by things such as massage chairs and literally up and down, still undecided on what to eat.

Walked into Pastamania and finally ordered food. I ate Chicken Bolognese.

Too much of the tomato sauce, and I didn't finish it :/

Went back up to buy popcorn and redeem our free drinks. Shah and I declared that we'll be loyal to Cathay because the place is awesome. $6 student tickets on weekdays, free drinks, good popcorn. It was our 2nd M18 movie in a week, lol.

Well, the movie was OK. I love Anna Faris, she's a good actress when she plays those ditzy blond girls and Chris Evans is well, hot. But they just don't have much chemistry as Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis in Friends With Benefits. And the movie was quite... But it did have funny parts so it was enjoyable.

Walked to the beach after that. Talked and walked and sat and took some pictures.

Played on the swings and climbed on the ropes. We took this long slide down but it was an epic fail because we couldn't even slide. So we kinda walked and shuffled our way down, screaming and laughing, lol.

After that, walked the long way back to the interchange, listening to songs, singing horribly and talking about The Wanted, haha.

Fun day with the makcik today :)

Blah

2011-10-11T23:09:00.000+08:00

So on Sunday, we went to this wedding of some cousin of ours. We helped out and all that stuff. I got freaking blisters on my feet and couldn't take it anymore so I took my shoes off and walked barefoot. I forgot that the road would be hot so it was a surprise and I kept going 'Ouch!' in my mind -__-

I did take a few pictures but I cannot find the camera cable right now, tsk.

Did literally nothing on Monday except watch Mr Brain. Awesome show with Kimura Takuya as the lead. He was amazing in it. Too bad the show only has 8 episodes. I'm demanding a season 2. And Shingo's cameo at the end was so LOL-worthy and unexpected. SMAP <3

Today, I FINALLY got my pay. Only $300 since it's for August. I had lunch with Jia Zhen at Popeye's. Went to DAISO at ION but couldn't find anything to buy so went to look for JZ but she wasn't there. Instead, I saw the lady I worked with at TANGS Vivo. I stared at her confusedly, trying to place where I had seen her before and she waved at me so I waved back. Hah. Couldn't wait around for JZ so I snuck behind Aliyah and went to Plaza Singapura.

Went to TS but there weren't any good dramas so I went up to the DAISO there. Still couldn't find anything to buy so I went to Comics Connection. Debated whether I wanted to buy this cute SHINee shirt for $10 but idk why I was so indecisive and in the end, I didn't buy it.

Took the MRT back to Woodlands and aimlessly walked around. Went into Uniqlo and was really tempted to buy a Big Bang shirt (even though I'm not even a big fan of them) but didn't. To Popular, no AKB album (hmph :<) then to CC. Too many kids there so I went to the CD shop. They were having a renovation sale but I still didn't want to buy anything.

Wanted to see if CC still had a lot of people and I saw 2 kids walking out. 1 kid set off the alarm and after hearing it, they zoomed off. The staff came out and idk if they chased the kids. SHOPLIFTERS!

Went home after that. I swear, I'll only use my money for food, tsktsk.

Swim & Movie

2011-10-07T22:02:00.001+08:00

Right, today, I went swimming with Shah at Jurong East. Met her at Woodlands then we took the MRT. We were supposed to drop off at Chinese Garden but because we were so engrossed in chit chatting, we missed the station. Oops. >.<

So we got off at Lakeside and decided to take a bus there. Problem was we didn't know where to get off. Shah said 422 but when we reached there, it wasn't even close to the pool, lol. So we decided to stay on and when I finally saw some familiar place, such as the polyclinic, I knew we were on the right track. We got off at the right place, thankfully.

Well, swam for about 90 minutes. Rented 2 floats and we rode the slide like 3 times. I passed on the yellow one, heh. Then we ate at the KFC/Pizza Hut place there. I ordered Hawaiian pizza while Shah ordered baked rice. We also ordered Snackers because we were too hungry and the Pizza Hut items took 20 minutes.

After eating, we took the bus to Jurong Point. Went to GV to purchase tickets to watch 'Friends With Benefits'. I finally used my GV membership card ^^ Shah bought popcorn and we went into the cinema. It was weird when the lady suddenly asked for our ICs before we went in cause the movie is M18. I mean, shouldn't the counter person ask us for it? If we were under 18, would our money be wasted then? Hmm ~__~

The movie was hilarious. I actually LOL at some parts. I thought the sex scenes would be awkward but it wasn't really. The movie was very cliche though. But it did have a happy ending and I love happy endings :)

After that, walked around because Shah wanted to buy a dress or something but she either didn't like the dress or it was too expensive.

After that, I fought with the rush hour crowd and arrived back safely at home (^__^)V

Favourite: Maeda Atsuko

2011-10-06T21:39:00.001+08:00

Since my life has been extremely boring after the Takamina event, here's the post about my AKB48 oshimen, Maeda Atsuko.

Ain't she adorable <3

Name: Maeda Atsuko (前田敦子)

D.O.B: July 10 1991

Idk why I always feel like I have to explain my J Pop groups, lol. Atsuko (Acchan) is from this massive girl group (more like army) called AKB48. Don't let the number in the name fool you, they do not have only 48 members. They have wayyyy more than that. They were formed in 2005 by genius and famous producer and lyricist, Akimoto Yasushi a.k.a Aki-P. Their concept is 'idols you can meet' and they perform daily at their theater in Akihabara, a district in Tokyo.

They are divided into teams, obviously, A, K, B and the newly formed, 4. Each team generally has 16 members with a captain in each team. Everyone's like, why the fck do you need so many girls. Simple, they perform daily, of course they need many people. Well, AKB48 are now THE TOP girl group in Japan. They have broken records. Their latest single, Flying Get, sold a million copies on the first day alone.

So basically, Acchan is the center of AKB48. As in the front girl, the one you see first when you watch AKB48. She's center in almost every single. With this much exposure, of course she has her haters. Which are a lot but we won't talk about them.

So reasons why I love her. To be honest, she wasn't my first oshi. That was Mariko-sama. But then her adorableness just got to me and I began to like her more and more. She isn't the best singer and dancer, even she admitted it herself. Acchan never wanted to be center, she's a shy girl, but Aki-P saw something in her and pushed her as a front girl. A shy girl, suddenly put into the spotlight, she carries a lot of burden. But Acchan took it all in her stride and I think that's what made me respect her more. The fact that she was given a position she never wanted, but grew into it made me see her as someone other than the bored faced girl.

She also doesn't think highly of herself, repeatedly saying that she 'is not good at anything'. Every time she says that, I feel like screaming at her "GURL, YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING." Acchan doesn't have a shining personality, like some of the other girls, but her quiet personality is what I relate to the most. She's someone that you feel you could be friends with.

I love her smile, I love her voice, I love how she'll suddenly do/say something that'll crack me up without her trying too hard and I love how she's self deprecating. And she's a pretty girl, not gorgeous like Mariko-sama but she has this certain vibe.

I swear I fangirl too much whenever I watch her or listen to her voice. I adore her.

End of gey post, harharhar :P

Reenactment of her senbatsu speech. Made me LOL

Coming down the escalator from the cafe to the shop for the handshake event.

Takamina Cafe Visit (111003)

2011-10-03T21:57:00.000+08:00

Warning: Long rambling post is long and rambling

So I reached *SCAPE at around 2pm after eating at KFC. I wasstanding near the trash can and drinking my Pepsi when suddenly the doors ofthe cafe opened behind me and Takamina came out! People waved at her and shesmiled and waved back. She was so small and cute and pretty, omg. They took theescalator to the 4th floor and the people on the 2^nd floor freakedout when they saw her. Takamina was waving and making hearts with her hands andthis group of Takamina fangirls screamed. Lol, it was loud and funny.

Waited around and then they asked to queue up according towhen you bought your tickets. We were led into the cafe, and there were slipsof paper where you could write down questions for Takamina to answer. We werethen served drinks and waited. Then Ah Kai (the manager of AKB48 Singapore Ithink and also the translator) announced that Takamina was coming so the mixcame on and everyone got hyped up and excited and then she walked in.

I swear idols look way prettier in real life and she did. I couldn’tbelieve I was looking at the leader of AKB48 in the flesh. She greeted everyoneand then talked about a bit about Singapore. The first thing all AKB48 membersdo when they come here for the first time is to go to the Merlion -.- Likethere’s nothing else here except that, lol. She talked about eating chilli craband how it was spicy but she still liked it and that she would be eatingchicken rice for dinner, lol.

Then there was a performance by the 6 Singapore Cafe Girls.They performed ‘Heavy Rotation’ and they were pretty awesome. Takamina wassitting on a chair by the side and when we chanted the mix, she even joined inand she was very enthusiastic which was nice to see. After the performance, shesaid that they were perfect and that it was very fun to sing along to an AKBsong instead of performing it.

After that, there was the Q&A session where theyrandomly picked out the questions. The fans got to ask her directly and thefirst question was actually “Which AKB member would you like to make out with?”But Ah Kai asked Takamina in Japanese “Which AKB member would you like to date?”Haha.Takamina answered, “Well, I’d like to see Acchan every day.”Which made the crowd and me go “Ooohhh.” Atsumina alert! Then she said, “Everyday,Acchan” and laughed. SO CUTE ZOMG.

Some of the questions I remembered being asked was “Which countrywould you like to visit?” and she said “Egypt”. Then she said she’d like AKB48to do a world tour in the coming years.

Then the questions “If you were not in AKB48, what would yoube doing?” Takamina said she’d be working at a gas station as an attendant andasking cars to come in. I ROFL when she demonstrated how she would ask cars tocome. She’s so funny. When asked why she said it’s because her friend said she’dsuit the job, lol.

“Which song has the most memories for you?” and she replied “River”because she got to shout the “AKB...48!” at the beginning. Takamina also saidshe’d love to perform here and she’d bring the whole of Team A over and I waslike “OMFG, YES YES YES”

The last question was asked by a guy from Japan who satbeside me with his girlfriend and was so excited when he got called. He shouted“YATTA!” and jumped up which made me LOL. His question was “Please re-enact yoursenbatsu election speech”. Takamina was reluctant at first and kept asking “Doyou really wanna see?” and everyone was like “YES” So she stood up and did itwhich made everyone burst into laughter and applaud her. (refer to video Iposted)

It was the handshake after that and I always get nervous. Istill haven’t finished my drink so I was awkwardly deciding if I wanted to throwit or drink it. I decided to hold it and when it was my turn to shake her hand,I placed the drink on the table in front of Takamina, lol.

She’s really small and short but so cute and pretty andnice. Her hands were small and soft and I kinda whispered “Kawaii” to her,thinking she didn’t hear it. But she did and looked at me and smiled and said “Arigato”and I died a little inside. I couldn’t hold her gaze and looked down and smiledbefore looking back up and letting go of her hands. I nodded and smiled at herthen took my drink and walked away, blushing and smiling. Hehe, the Takamina effect.

So fast forward me waiting 2 hours for her appearance at theshop. Everyone was so excited when she came down. (refer to video) Afterwatching people with the tickets getting to shake hands with her, the staffannounced a high touch event and everyone dashed off to queue. The line snakedall the way till outside of *SCAPE. So I got to high five with Takamina*squeals* Then the huge crowd followed her and screamed and waved until she wentoff.

Most awesome day ever. Takamina definitely jumped up mylist. She was cute, funny, nice and so pretty. Ah, I wanna see her again!

Thanks for reading this long rambling post. Congratulationsfor making it to the end! :P

Queuing

2011-10-01T20:05:00.001+08:00

Went to *SCAPE with Amalina. I'm forever underestimating the power of AKB48 in Singapore cause there was this long line of people already queuing up in front of the cafe. The queue snaked all the way around and we found ourselves forever at the back.

Note to self: Be at least a few hours early next time I wanna go for an event with a popular member.

Somehow, Amalina is forever queuing up with me for this events, haha. For the AKB shop opening, buying ticket for the first show and now this. We were there for only 2 hours, hehe. Singaporeans can queue up forever, lol.

The most frustrating part for me when we were literally in front of the entrance and could see the counter but we didn't move. And that was the first time I stepped into the cafe. It looked really big and spacious and I hope I get to dine in there one day.

So I finally got the ticket. Not the session I wanted though, but only session 1 was available and I was lucky to be able to even buy a ticket. Apparently, some of the people behind didn't get any and all the tickets to the event is sold out. Only way to get it now is praying for the overseas fans to not be able to go and maybe there'll be spare tickets for you.

Super duper excited and idk why. Takamina isn't my oshi but Takamina is AKB48's leader, heck, she's the leader of all the 48 groups and she's defo in my top 10.

Yay, MONDAY PLEASE COME FASTER!

October

2011-10-01T10:14:00.001+08:00

Forgot that today is the 1st of October. The year is zooming by so fast. There's only 2 more months before 2011 is over. This year went by faster than 2009 imo. And that's scary.

Favourite: Choi Siwon

2011-10-01T10:10:00.002+08:00

To kill time before I go out later, I'm gonna do another of my Favourites post. 2nd is the man, Choi Siwon.

Name: Choi Siwon (최시원 )

D.O.B: February 10, 1987

Siwon is a member of Super Junior, one of South Korea and Asia's most popular boy band. He is their center, 'ace', and is well known for being extremely good looking and godlike (heh). Siwon is also known for being very religious and is not shy about it.

The first time I saw Super Junior was 'Sorry, Sorry' I think. They had 12 members then (sans Kibum of course) and at first it was hard to match the name with the face. But somehow I got it (idk, I think I enjoy the challenge of remembering names of people in big groups, lol) and Siwon of course stood out, since he's like always center.

So Siwon is not the best dancer, the best singer nor is he the best looking (shocking, ikr). But what captured my attention was how he always gives his best on stage. And you can tell he enjoys being on stage with his members. He also has a unique personality off stage because whenever he talks, he expresses it with big gestures, which caused me to LOL. Siwon's a really nice guy and he loves his members and when he's acting, he tweeted that he wanted acting to wrap up soon so that he can perform with the members. That to me is dedication and loyalty and I love that.

I see Siwon as a role model. And I seriously love him, lol. I spazz whenever I see him in videos and all that. He has this amazing effect on me.

It's over

2011-09-30T21:11:00.003+08:00

This picture just breaks my heart. Look at how devastated she is, leaving something that she loves and has been a part of for 10 years.

Well, Takahashi Ai has officially graduated from Morning Musume. She joined on 26 August 2001 and graduated today, 30 September 2011 at the Nippon Budokan. She was supported by a lot of celebrities, if fan accounts are to be believed.

There was a yellow sea for her encore.

And what Aichan said to Gakisan is really truly heart breaking. [Credits to H!O]

"From when my graduation was announced, I began to love Morning Musume more and more. Gaki-san, Sayu, Reina, Aika, Fuku-chan, Ikuta, Sayashi, Zukki: Thank you for following such an undependable leader. Gaki-san, I'm sorry for graduating first [and leaving you behind*]."

Idk why that line got to me. It's the Takagaki bond I guess. It's like Aichan doesn't want to leave Gakisan behind :'(

For just a short moment, Morning Musume was 13 members strong. Now, one of the most prominent members, a legend, has graduated, gone to bigger and better things I hope.

Aichan, sincerely thank you for 10 great, wonderful, amazing years with Morning Musume. I was only there for 1 year but I can be happy with the fact that I was there at the end. It may be the end of an era, but Aichan will keep on shining. Just like the star she was born to be.

It still feels unreal. As of now, Takahashi Ai is a FORMER, GRADUATED member of Morning Musume. Ah crap. It'll probably hit me when videos come out. I think I'll get over this. I hope. But at least there's the Juukies to keep me interested.

12 nin Morning Musume. I'll keep on supporting them.

AI BELIEVE

2011-09-30T17:47:00.001+08:00

Yellow for Ai

It's happening right now. No live stream so all we get are bits of info here and there and random pictures.

So apparently, a lot of ex/current H!P members are in attendance. Spotted by people are Gottsan, Nono, Mikitty, S/mileage, H!P eggs, Yossie and Makoto.

I'm in like, emotional turmoil right now and no one cares except me, lol. I don't know how to describe the feeling. It's like this sinking feeling in my heart. Reality will probably hit me hard when all the pictures/videos/reports come in later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Oh gosh, my first J Pop idol is graduating. This is unreal. I know she's not gonna be gone forever but just let me be dramatic today and let me make it seem like my world is ending.

Ai believe <3

THE DAY

2011-09-30T10:12:00.000+08:00

In just a few hours, my amazing, gorgeous Aichan will be performing her last concert as a Musume.

My heart... T__T

Seriously, the first thing that popped into my mind this morning was "Aichan..." and then my heart sank. Now, I have this uneasy feeling. So I distracted myself by watching videos of AKB48, lol.

It's gonna be intense tonight. For me at least.

Just me. In my idol filled world.

Favourite: Takahashi Ai

2011-09-28T23:20:00.001+08:00

Well, to expand on the previous post, I'm gonna do a little write up on why my favourites are well, my favourites. I shall do Aichan first because she'll be graduating in 2 days times *sobs*

Name: Takahashi Ai (高橋愛)

DOB: 14 September 1986 (25 as of this post)

So Aichan is from the idol group, Morning Musume. They're like this legendary female idol group in Japan, formed in 1997 and officially debuted in 1998. So they've been around for quite some time. Morning Musume is different as they kind of pioneered the 'graduation' system. Members 'graduating' i.e leaving the group to pursue other activities. They also hold auditions for new talent every other year. This system helps to keep the group fresh and alive. Morning Musume are produced by this really talented musician, Tsunku.

Well, Aichan joined the group in 2001, as part of the 5th generation (Gokkies). So she's been in the music scene for a decade. She announced early this year that she will graduate on 30th September at the Budokan.

Ok, reasons why I adore her. I realise I really like idols who are 'quiet' people. Not those loud and talkative ones, idky. When I first found out about MM, the first video I watched of the current lineup was an interview of them on Sanma's show. She didn't speak much but she did stand out because she was gorgeous. After going through a huge MM phase where I watched basically any subbed video I could find of them, I knew she was my favourite of the group.

Aichan's a solid performer. She's one of the best singers, dancers and her stage presence is immense. She's one of the front girls of MM and you can see why. A lot of people say she has a bland personality but I think she makes up for it by being one of the most amazing performers in the idol world. I swear when I watch the performances she immediately stood out. I love how she speaks in her Fukui accent when she's shocked or angry. I love her smile. I love how she's a senpai whom everyone seems to adore. One thing that I really like in idols are people who love what they're doing. And Aichan does. You can tell that she's happy while performing and she works hard. I love that she doesn't take herself to seriously and how she keeps saying she's not cute when everyone compliments her even though I think she's adorable. Gosh, she really is someone who you can look up to.

Aichan also holds a lot of records in MM. She'll be one of only 2 members (the other being Gaki-san) to stay in the group for 10 years, she's the second Morning Musume member to be at least 24 years old and the first to reach that age while in the group, she and Gaki-san have been in the most MM singles and she's been the longest serving leader, at almost 4 years.

I'm sad that she's graduating. I wish I knew MM earlier so I would have enjoyed seeing her in the group more. But Aichan isn't gonna fade away. Her aim is to be an actress and she has tons of activities lined up after her graduation so Friday won't be the last time I'll see her. But I'll miss her voice in MM singles. I'll miss Takagaki and Sayu's attempts to kiss Aichan at least once per concert. But she'll always be a star and she'll still shine.

And that was quite a long post, lol.

My Favourites

2011-09-28T11:31:00.000+08:00

Well, the blog is called Life of A Freaking Fantastic Fangirl (I changed it... heh) I decided to list down the idols who I, well, fangirl about.

In no particular order:

Choi Siwon (Super Junior)
Tiffany Hwang (SNSD)
Lee Taemin (SHINee)
Takahashi Ai (Morning Musume)
Maeda Atsuko (AKB48)

The chosen few who make me go crazy and swoon at their every action, lol. I'll probably post in the next few days about each of them and why I adore them to death.

I'll probably be reading this in the next few years and wonder why the heck I adored them so much, haha.

Work!

2011-09-25T16:27:00.003+08:00

LONG TIME NO POST.

Well, been working for the past few weeks. At Isetan Wisma and then 2 days at Scotts. Seriously, I wonder how I even survived working for 7 hours each day, sometimes standing around doing nothing.

Worked at the shoes section which I think is way easier than handbags cause it's more straightforward. Just look at the group name, size and colour. And they only have like a few sizes so you don't have to search and they're in boxes which makes it oh so much easier to find.

The full timer there was called Christie and the part timer Kresta. There was another temp part timer like me named Sarra (he's a guy). They were nice and friendly and it was quite fun working with them. Only got close to them (as in, joking around) at the end, which kinda sucks. We laughed and talked too much on the last day, which was the 21st. Seriously, I sold nothing on that day. We just joked around and laughed.

After that, I worked alone at Scotts. The first day is always a blur. You first have to figure out where everything is. The drawer with the memos, pens and tape/stapler. Then the storeroom where all the bags are. I didn't even know there was a wallet wagon until they kept shouting "Guess! Guess!" I had to rush to the other side to attend to the customer. And I also totally forgot about the cabinet with wallets.

Was totally boring. Zomg. No one to talk to except the aunties there. So basically I spent the hours pacing around, staring into space and listening to music. The good thing about Scotts is they play Taylor Swift songs. ^^ And in one day, I had to answer 3 calls. One from a customer, one from someone looking for the full timer and one from Tangs asking me to search for a bag.

Well, technically I'm done with work. Have to fill in my time sheet and somehow meet Joy to pass it to her so she can sign it and fax it to the agency and then I can get my pay and spend it and enjoy whatever is left of my holidays, which is like, 3 weeks.

And my results were ok. Improved my GPA by a bit. Well, any improvement is good improvement I guess.

AND AND TAKAMINA IS COMING TO SINGAPORE ZOMG! THE LEADER OF AKB48. I NEED TO GO.

K bye.

Hari Raya (5th Sep)

2011-09-25T16:03:00.001+08:00

OLD POST. SUPPOSED TO BE PUBLISHED ON 5th Sep.

Went raya-ing yesterday.

Was supposed to work but I had gastric flu. Woke up like around 4:30am with a terrible stomach cramp which hurt like a bitch. Seriously. Went to eat something then went back to my room. Lay down on the bed for a while but couldn't sleep cause I felt super duper nauseous. Felt something coming up my mouth so I ran to the kitchen but puked right at the entrance, lulz. Mom woke up at that time so I blurted out that I puked then ran to the bathroom but didn't make it in time, whoops. It was a terrible hour before I finally fell asleep.

Woke up a few hours later to go to the doctor. Then SMS-ed Joy saying I was sick. Then got ready to go raya-ing with the family, lol. There was a bus and we all piled on it and it was fun. Went to quite a few houses. At the last house, we were all so full and didn't feel like eating so we ate a bit cause the owner kept urging us to eat. Kakak only put like 2 pieces of lontong on her plate but Rizal saw it and told the owner who put some more on her plate. Hahaha, tattletale.

And we went home after that. :D

Happy birthday Dad!

2011-09-25T16:00:00.002+08:00

HAPPY 51st BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD!

Eve!

2011-08-29T17:55:00.002+08:00

Eve of Raya. Took off today. Bought my shoes, which cost quite a lot of money, heh.

Erm, can't wait to eat delicious foods later. ^^

6 more days of work.

Hopefully no one reads this, but I've been seeing a lot of couples and I observe them. Is that weird? Lol. Not like scrutinize but just look at their 'dynamics'. Idk, I guess this is me longing for one. SHH, DON'T TELL PEOPLE.

JZ and I have been talking a lot at work about boyfriends, lol. It's nice to talk to someone. Too bad there's no cute guys at the Expo. Only cute babies.

LOL

Ok, Hari Raya tomorrow! Yay!

bye

Expo!

2011-08-26T10:53:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was tiring. ZOMG. My feet ached like crazy and I kinda half limped home, lol.

Met JZ at Tanah Merah before going to the Expo. Funny thing, we were in the same MRT almost in the same place and we still didn't see each other till we got out and then looked around before going, "Oh! Found you." Hahaha

Being a sales promoter is different. Basically, since I'm working for Guess handbags, you just stand around and if the bags are messed up, you arrange it neatly. When there's a lot of people, even if I had just arranged it, if I turn around for a few seconds and look back, it's messed up again, lulz. Particularly the wallets section. It looked like a hurricane went through and tossed everything up. So a lot of time was spent rearranging it neatly again.

Since it was only the first day of the sale and also a weekday, there wasn't a lot of people. But I did spend quite a lot of time, kneeling on the floor and searching for bags in the bins. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don't cause the bags were all over the place and not in the right bin. And sometimes the customers forget where they take the bags so you have to search for a similar bag.

After a few hours of working there, we kinda remembered where certain bags were so it was a bit easier. Customers will also ask for your opinion about which bag is nicer or they'll ask you to wear it and 'model' it for them. Hahaha. Every time someone asked for my opinion, I'll be like "Whuttt" and just say which I like better.

At night, the crowds thinned so we just stood around and chit chatted, since it was only me and JZ. At 10pm-ish, we went home. JZ's dad took her home so I had to go by myself, sobs. Dinner alone, then went home alone.

Legs ached but have to stand all the way till I got to Khatib where finally there were seats. Met my mom at McD's then went home.

Work again later.

WORK

2011-08-24T20:26:00.002+08:00

First day of 'work' today. Went back to Expo after a year. Met JZ at Tanah Merah then MRT-ed to Expo. Walked to the front entrance but it wasn't open so we went to the back one.

Hall 3 is far from the MRT station -_-

Met our colleagues, who seem like a nice bunch. Basically spent the day unpacking all the handbags and putting it on display. It was quite tiring and my legs ached after only a few hours. Need to get use to it again.

Went home at around 5pm. My whole body ached. Too lazy to change trains at the Circle Line so I just went to Marina Bay and sat all the way to Woodlands, heh.

My arms are aching as I'm typing this. I have the afternoon shift all the way. 1:45pm to 10pm, oh good gosh. I'm thinking of changing to morning shift on the 29th. Need to get into the Raya mood, hah.

Tata.

JB!

2011-08-24T20:06:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, went to JB for the first time in like, 4 years.

Went at around 12pm. Took a bus to the checkpoint, withdrew money and changed it and then went through all the customs.

Officer: *flips through passport, stares at my face*

Me: *looks around*

Officer: Gambar ni dah brape tahun?

Me: Er... er... Dah lama ah.

Heh. He asked to update my primary 3 picture and I was like OK. Walked to City Square and had to look at all the food stalls >_>

Got lost trying to go to Kota Raya. Thought we needed to take a bus but in the end, we just had to walk. It was a pink building and sold a lot of Hari Raya stuff.

Took like 2 hours to finally decide on our Raya outfits. It's WHITE this year ^^ Then went to look at all the kuih and bought like $100RM worth of it. It's not for the guests but for us. Probably. Maybe. YES.

Went back to City Square and went to Swensen's to book a table. There was a 1-for-1 offer so we bought quite a lot. The bill was quite low, $99RM without tax. We got the Earthquake for 50% off. After ordering, we went to walk around and I bought a new backpack, YATTA. It's red, lol.

Went back and buka-ed at Swensen's before going home.

We might just go there regularly cause everything's so much more cheaper there, hehehe. And that was how I spent my birthday. Bye bye

Happy 18th birthday to me!

2011-08-23T00:08:00.002+08:00

TO ME.

So I'm legal in Singapore now and I can create my Paypal account yay.

Ok, bye bye.

Job Interview

2011-08-22T18:03:00.003+08:00

So today, woke up early (6.15am) to go to Raffles Place for an interview with Jia Zhen. My eyes could barely open and I felt so sleepy/tired.

Took the MRT to Raffles Place. The MRT was packed and I felt bad for the people at the other stations who had no chance of going in. But really, there wasn't any space left and it was quite a crowd of people waiting on the platforms. I swear the government needs to improve it. I think the next MRT was like, 6 minutes later -.-

Anyways, arrived just a few minutes before JZ. Walked together to the building but we were early, so we sat outside and chatted for a while. I just realised I've never really been to Raffles Place. Only seen it on TV, lol. We looked totally out of place, with our casual clothes while everyone else was in their office attire.

Walked awkwardly to the building, had to sign in and took the elevator to the 19th floor. I don't really like the elevators where you feel like your heart was left on the previous floor. I don't know how to describe it, but you get my drift, haha. Walked to the office, only 1 person was there and we filled in the forms.

Then we were let into the room where the guy talked to us and then said we needed to go to this other place for a job interview. We were like, "Ok." So we went to Harbourfront. Took the right bus but in the wrong direction so we quickly got out, lol. Crossed over to the other side and took the right bus going in the right direction.

Alighted at this ulu place and went to the building. The building was seriously like, deserted, in the front lobby. There was no one at the front desk and the cafe had only 2 people. Went to the 4th floor and to the office where we filled in more forms and were interview by this lady.

I felt awkward sitting on the couch because it was meant for leaning back not sitting straight, so it was an uncomfortable sitting position. She asked questions like "Tell me more about your job experience" "What do you think are the qualities of a good sales promoter" and stuff like that. I felt so nervous as I answered the questions and my voice didn't want to come out. It was quite fast and she said she'd call so we said thank you and went out.

Since we were free, we decided to go to Nex to eat Texas Chicken. I am not fasting today, heh. Took the bus back to Harbourfront then an MRT to Serangoon. Ate the combo meal and I got the chicken. It was ok, just like, normal chicken... lol. I felt kinda awkward sitting there and eating openly but who gives a flying tuck right.

After that, walked around before going home. Took a nap and now here I am.

The person called and said we got the job! YAY. We start on Wednesday and we were supposed to go and sign the form tomorrow but since I'm going to JB, he said he was gonna email me the soft copy and I'll sign and scan and send it back to him.

Kinda excited and happy but at the same time, like dreading it. Hopefully, it's a fun job and not something I'll dislike.

Annyeong!

Pastamania & Present

2011-08-20T14:35:00.006+08:00

Went to eat at WM's Pastamania for buka yesterday. Whole gang came. Funny thing, Ama was carrying the drinks and said "Makan banyank-banyak korang" excitedly and then the drinks fell and she screamed and we were shocked and then we LOL like crazy. Hahaha.

After that, walked around WM. It was a bit different, with the interior and some shops. Other than that, it was basically the same. Wandered around aimlessly, as usual, heh. Then we went to Frolicks where Keciq bought her froyo and we sat at our beloved swing. Took pictures, chatted, laughed and then I opened my present.

It was a nice surprise and I was quite embarrassed to be showing it off in public so after unwrapping it and laughing, I quickly shoved it back inside. Hahaha. TYVM guyz, I like it very much. I am holding it as I am typing this.

Overall, a fun day, as usual every time I go out with them. They are some of my favourite people. ^^

DUST AWAY

2011-08-19T15:31:00.003+08:00

Hi, I'm a lazy bum who keeps forgetting I have a blog. So I guess when I read this back, the last few months have seen sporadic entries. SORRY OLDER ME WHO IS READING THIS. Blame you and your procrastination.

Anyways, EXAMS ARE OVER!

WOOT WOOT.

Only took 3 papers this semester but I hope I pass them all. :O

Hmm, what's new.

Buka puasa at Pizza Hut with Sah, Shah, Hafiz, Muin, Khalis, Shafiq and Azri. Then we walked around Geylang, sans Muin who went home.

Later, gonna be buka-ing with ze chingoos. Yay.

Holidays now, but I'm gonna try and find a job. Monehh and so I don't rot at home.

And seriously, my wishlist is growing. I want a 1TB external hard drive, CDs, posters, a new bag, shoes and clothes. SOMEONE GIVE ME A MILLION DOLLARS PLEASE.

Random note, I've been watching SBS Heroes and been super addicted to it. Although the show ended already, the subbing process is long and there's only 20 subbed episodes. I seriously love the show to death. The cast is awesome and hilarious.

Well, here's the entry for August. I might update again. Who knows. Bye.

UPDATEEE

2011-07-17T11:10:00.002+08:00

LONG TIME COMING, LOL.

Ok. Things I did:

Went to USS like 2 weeks ago and almost puked after riding the Battlestar Galatica.
Watched Monte Carlo with Sah, Shah, Khalis and Naj on Shah's birthday.
Mustafa Center with Sah, Shah and Jia Zhen to look for Yvonne's birthday present.
Swimming with Sah, Shah and Jia Zhen.
Yvonne's birthday party at Pasir Ris on Friday.
Watched Harry Potter yesterday.

Been going out for the past week. Tired like ...

Anyways, 3 more weeks of school then it's exams and break. Yayayaya. :D

Random memories

2011-06-27T21:20:00.002+08:00

Ok, random school memory. I feel like just blogging random memories that pop into my head, so I can read this back and remember it again.

2007 Sec 2

One of those WTF moments. We were having Art and we were doing shading with these ink markers that needed to be refilled if they dried up. Ms Tan, who was our teacher back then, was already pissed off at us cause the boys were making a lot of noise and were being irritating, as usual. Hah. I think she was most angry at Haziq and Sean.

Anyways, we went to her to ask for a refill cause our markers dried up. She was preoccupied with glaring at the boys that she didn't notice that she hadn't picked up the refill with the pair of tweezers she was holding. I was staring intently at her hand and noticed it but she didn't and so she brought her hand and the tweezers to the marker she was holding but when it got there, she finally realised there was nothing there.

So I was trying hard not to laugh as her face looked surprised then angry. We were looking at each other and in my mind I was repeating "Don't laugh, don't laugh" but when I faced her, I burst out laughing in her face. The worst part was I couldn't stop.

She looked even more pissed off but didn't say anything and just handed the marker back to me.

LOL. One of the epic memories that has stayed with me till this day. And now it's in black and white for me to reread and laugh again later.

Bye bye

UPDATE AFTER A LONG TIME

2011-06-18T23:56:00.002+08:00

YES, I am updating after a looonnnggg time, lol.

Anyways, went to town with this Makcik. Firstly, to accompany her to SCAPE to go to the flea market cause she wanted to change her eyeliner or something. Went around the flea market where Shah bought a shirt. It was stuffy.

Wanted to go eat, but all the places were full so we went back cause I wanted to go to the AKB shop which I haven't been to since it opened. Haha. I swear I get so excited whenever I see the shop and it's pink-ness and all the awesome-ness from the outside. Still selling the same things but I just like being in there, hahaha.

Went to Cheers where we randomly bought a vitamin water. IMO, it tasted pretty nasty. Yucks. Then we walked to the opposite side of SCAPE where there was another flea market, except with lesser people.

After that, randomly walked all the way to ION to eat at Burger King while taking random pictures along the way. Ate, talked then walked all the way to Dhoby Ghaut, stopping at random places to take random pictures, hahaha.

Overall, nice to go out with the makcik after quite some time of not seeing her. Talked nonsense as usual.

Ok. Another update might be when about me going to freakin' USS this coming Wednesday. MAX HIGH TENSION BABY! :D:D::D

SW Day

2011-05-19T20:30:00.002+08:00

Had our annual SW Day on Wednesday. We were apparently supposed to play Captain's Ball but when we got there we found out that it was a modified version of it. -.-

It was using a rugby ball and you didn't just throw it. You had to like, serve the ball to pass it and if you intercepted the ball or it fell and you grabbed it, you had to tap it to the ground before continuing. This rule made it extremely hard to play and there were shouts of "TAP TAP TAP!" every time someone held the ball. It made me laugh so hard cause everyone was just shouting it unconsciously. Which made it like Tap Tap Revenge. -___-

Anyways, our class was split into 3 groups and each group wore a different colour shirt. I wore yellow, as seen in the photo above. We had 3 'group' stages games. I played in like, 2 and dude, it was hard. Like even though the game was only 14 minutes long, just running around was tiring. And I sucked at serving the ball. Playing against the seniors was rough.

Out of the 3 teams, only the blue team got into the quarter finals. They fought hard against the seniors but in the end, succumbed to a last minute goal. And they changed the rules too, like whuttt~

Well, after that, we went to eat at the buffet before going to shower, which was so chaotic, lol. Me, Shah, Sah, XW and Yvonne and we were like makciks, screaming and shouting about soap, shampoo and other stuff. Like Sah said, "This is the best time of the day." HAHAH.

Everyone was sore and tired after that so we dragged ourselves home. I was so tired, I immediately crashed on my bed upon arriving home.

AND, AKB48 is draining my money. Lol, not that I mind. >.>

AKB48 First Theater Concert

2011-05-16T10:03:00.005+08:00

Atsuko poster gets!

My view from where I was seated

Forgot to post this yesterday so here's my fan account of the concert last night.

So I’m back from the 7pm show of AKB48’s first ever performance in their Singapore theatre. It was so amazing and awesome and *pukes rainbows*

Start from the top (like always), went out around 2pm and took the MRT to Somerset. Already saw a queue when I reached *SCAPE so I rushed to the shop to get my Atsuko poster. Totally empty, unlike the chaos of yesterday. Probably cause everyone was either enjoying the 3pm show or waiting in line for the 7pm show, lol.

After getting the poster, joined the line. Anyways, one thing that kinda irked me was people just jumping into the queue with their friends, which was, I feel, unfair to others who were behind them. I was suddenly behind a huge group of Japanese people instead of just 2 people -.- They were trading photo cards and talking and I was just there like a lost kitten.

I NEED AKB FRIENDS.

They led us into the theatre at around 6pm. I got to sit at the 5th row, just a bit off from the middle, which is not a bad seat. Directly behind me was a row reserved for special guests. One important thing I did not bring was a light stick. -.- So I was just awkwardly sitting there while all the others were already out with their light sticks. Must remember to bring one next concert. I’m gonna bring my pink lightsaber and outshine everyone. >:-D Funny thing, the lady who did the announcements was Japanese and she spoke good English but she made a small mistake.

Lady: Please stand on the chairs as it is dangerous.

Audience: LOL

One word and it becomes a whole different meaning, lol.

Concert started on time. The lighting was fantastic, I must say. Very bright and strong. First song was Beginner with Komorin as center. I was just staring in awe, yet again. Dude, seeing them live is so totally different. Next was Ponytail, with Komorin the center again. The crowd were pumped up. The next song was Iiwake Maybe with Aamin as center. Whenever any of the members came to our side of the stage, I just smiled like a total idiot. Especially when I saw Komorin, cause idk how to describe it, but she looks different. Less blank like and more, idk, polished? Lol.

After that were the MCs. They just basically introduced themselves. Apparently, a difference was that in the first show, they spoke in English but in the night show, they just spoke in Japanese. Bummer. I really enjoy hearing them trying to speak English, and failing, but the whole process is just too cute. Especially when they write it on the palm of their hands, lol.

It was sub group songs after that, none of which I knew, sadly. But I enjoyed them nonetheless, especially when Myao came out in a fur coat and rocked on stage. Go check the set list for the song cause I have no idea what it is, haha. Short MC.

Funny thing: one of the girls (I think it was Amina or Moeno) said something in English and she kinda expected people to cheer but then we couldn’t understand what she said, so there was this one second of awkward silence before people laughed and clapped. Lol.

Then it was Aitakatta! Awesome song, zomg. Bingo, Oogoe Diamond and Sakura no ki ni Narou. The centers for the songs were Komorin, Aamin and Moeno, who was the center for SKN. Then they said goodbye and it was a ‘cooling down’ period before the encore.

It was so hilarious. Some of the people who came before knew that there would be announcements first so none of them shouted encore. But there was this group of small Japanese girls who were the ones shouting but others shushed them. Then suddenly someone shouted AKB and the others shouted 48. It continued but people just randomly shouted SKE, SDN and NMB with one guy in front of me shouting, “HKT!” LMAO. It was all over the place and I was just giggling to myself at the ridiculousness of the whole situation. The announcements were the 2nd show was gonna be AKB with SDN coming on the 3rd show. ^^

The girls came out and they sang HEAVY ROTATION WHICH IS THE MOST ROCKING SONG.\m/ Komorin was center for this. I swear this song is just so chant worthy and so awesome. They then sang Hikoukigumo before ending the show with Dareka no tame ni. After that, they spoke a bit and dude, Myao’s English is quite good. Like, her pronunciation is good. She said that we were gonna be talking a picture with them, which was them on the stage facing this man on a ladder with us in the background. Haha. Then she said ‘Puh-lease’ at the wrong moment, which made everyone LOL.

After that, HIGH TOUCH! I always look forward to this but am always scared to death about it. First person I high fived was Yone-chan and after that was Myao. ZOMG, whenever I see her I feel like squeezing her cheeks like a weirdo, yes. Heh. My hand was already up to high five her but she was distracted and talking to the girl beside her (can’t remember who) about the guy’s hand before me. So I felt awkward alone before she turned back and said ‘Thank you’, which of course made me melt and almost die on the floor right there and then.

The thing that makes all of us feel super happy I think, is because when they high five you, they look directly into your eyes and say either “Thank you” or “Arigato” which makes us feel so bloody important and special and like time just stopped. I just high fived them normally and they thanked me and I thanked them back and bowed a bit because I do not know what to say, like always. I’m just awkward ok.

When it came to Ayarin, my hand was up, but she was like, in her own rhythm cause she paused for a while before saying, “Sank you, sank you”, which cracked me up so I was like grinning like an idiot for the last few girls. I stayed around watching them high five all the people before they went back in. Before they went in, a group said ‘Good work’ to them and everyone cheered.

Ah, best night ever (I keep saying this, I know, lol) This weekend was the bomb. Shook hands with Wasamin, Komorin and Myao, high fived the three of them, saw them perform and then high five with all 16 members. Life is good.

I think I’m loving Nacchan and Mariyannu more now and of course MYAO <3333

I’m now suffering from AKB withdrawal and have to go to school tomorrow, BOO. But the best thing is, they’re gonna come back again! HAHA, OH YEAHHHH.

Thanks for reading this far, if any of you are reading, haha

AKB48 Official Shop Opening

2011-05-14T19:28:00.003+08:00

AHHH, MYAO MYAO MYAO <3333

Start from the top.

Went out with my little sister at around 12pm since the shop opened at 1pm. ZOMG, I underestimated the number of people going because there was this long queue that stretched around the whole building.

SKIPS BORING PART ABOUT WAITING

Then around 3++ to 4pm, the staff announced that they would be selling $15 vouchers so that we could go to the handshake event. I was debating because I was suddenly so nervous but decided to go.

Ran up to the place where they were having it and there were already quite a number of people. Arrived there just as Wasamin, Komorin and Myao came which led to huge cheers which cause people who weren’t interested to look. Heh.

The line went quite fast and I tried to snap some pictures using my phone but my hands were shaking so much cause I was so nervous and excited and all of the pictures suck. Haha. BUT ZOMG, all of them look so pretty. BIAS MODE, especially Myao <3333

Before going up they put some hand sanitizer on your hands and I was rubbing furiously. Hahaha. So when I went up, first person was Wasamin and she looked at me and said, “Arigato” and I just smiled and I think I said thank you or something. Next was Komorin and she had her usual spaced out, blank look on her face (LOL) and she too said “Arigato”. Then it was MYAO, zomggg.

Ok, I’m such a weird awkward person because when it came to her, I just looked in shock and I think my eyes were wide open and she said “Arigato” and I said “Thank you”. Then, it came out of nowhere but before I went, I blurted out, “Big fan” and smiled and waved lamely with both hands near my face, like some idiot. She looked at me and smiled and said, “Oh, thank you” and bowed and I ran off the stage as fast as possible. There was a guy who said “Watch your step” but I leapt off that stage like a flying ninja and ran outside to find my sister to spazz.

So after that, went back down to the shop and still had to wait. While I was like, 5 people away from entering, they suddenly said there was gonna be a high touch with them.

ZOMG, BE STILL MY HEART.

They led us in front of the theatre and the girls came down and this group of small Japanese girls screamed and cameras came out and people walking by just looked on. My little sister, being in the line with me, also got to high five with them.

Myao came to me, and she had that “I’ve seen you before face”. She said “Oh, thank you” again and smiled and I just melted and almost died right there and then but I still had to high five Komorin and Wasamin so I didn’t. (Phew, long sentence)

So they went around high fiving all the people in line before coming back in and going into the theatre. So I waited some more and FINALLY, got in the shop. It was quite small and they sell, posters of all the members, shirts, bags, charms, IPhone covers and other things. I was just $2 away from buying Maeda Atsuko’s poster but they didn’t accept NETS and I had no cash so I guess I’ll just buy it tomorrow so during the concert when people come too close I can just whack them with it

Overall, a tiring but awesome day cause I got to meet one of my oshi TWICE and she was so pretty and awesome and gahhh.

Concert tomorrow! :D

And thanks for reading this far, lol.

SAM

2011-05-05T19:31:00.002+08:00

Went to the Singapore Art Museum today with Yvonne and Jia Zhen for our NE project. Ate at BK first, haha. After that, followed our 'tour guide' JZ to the SAM. We kinda walked a long way I think, in the hot sun no less.

Saw this white historical looking building, which turned out to be the National Museum I think, lol but we spotted another white historical looking building across the way so we were like, "That is definitely it." HAHA

Went in and walked around. It was quite enjoyable, I must say. I enjoyed myself more than I expected. Like Perceived Value > Expected Value = Customer Satisfaction. See, I listened in Marketing lecture. :P I guess it was more fun walking around at your own pace and seeing all the art pieces.

One thing that kinda struck me was this place where they showed you 3 simultaneous videos of this lady singing/praying to dead bodies in the mortuary. It was powerful. I was kinda grossed out but at the same time fascinated.

Well, have to write a report on it. And I have Marketing and EFMA tutorials to do, boo.

3 posts in a span of a few minutes. Yeah. :D

Seletar Camp

2011-05-05T19:25:00.002+08:00

HSM in the library

On Wednesday, we went to Seletar Camp, I think for this NE thing. A field trip after years, lol, so everyone was quite high tension. Especially the boys.

Basically, they just showed you around the camp and what they did. Got to sample some of the army food, which I didn't eat, after my last experience with camp food (dates back 2008 sec 3 camp) But I did eat the chocolate biscuits though. Cause it's chocolate. Duh.

They had a live demonstration which was quite cool. Our class amused ourselves by doing the wave while waiting for the show to start. It was quite an epic fail, lol.

After that home. Tired, feet hurt and peak hour on the MRT is a BITCH.

SDP Rally (30 April)

2011-05-05T19:14:00.003+08:00

CATCH UP POSTS.

Went to my first ever rally on Saturday night with my voting sister. I was just curious as the papers talked a lot about the election and I just wanted to see what it was like.

We stayed for the entire thing and my feet hurt after that but there was quite a huge crowd there. It rained a few minutes before they ended which me and my sister stayed through cause we didn't bring any umbrellas.

It was, interesting. Like, you hear the crowd and the speakers and you feel pumped. Though I can't vote, I was excited about their plans but then, I doubted that they could do it. There's always a doubt after being under PAP for so long, that someone else is capable of doing their job. IDK, most probably my parents will vote PAP while maybe my sister will vote for the opposition.

2 more days till Polling Day!

1st Week of Year 2

2011-04-30T11:58:00.002+08:00

Hello. Long time no blog.

Well, 1st week of year 2 is over and done with. I still feel like I'm in Year 1 cause technically, nothing has really changed. Same old system.

First week and already all the project groups are decided, via drawing lots, our class' favourite method, lol.

We only have like, 3 exams this semester. Business Law, Sports Administration and Essential Finance ... something something. Haha.

----

Yesterday was the Royal Wedding. HRH Prince William of Wales, married Kate Middleton, a 'commoner'. It was quite grand and majestic. One of the things I love about Britain is their culture, tradition and history. It makes it all very romantic and different, with their cool uniforms and idk how to describe. It was a very beautiful affair and I wish the couple the best of luck and hope they have a long happy marriage.

---

Hot news is the General Election 2011. My family is under the Sembawang GRC, which is being contested by PAP and SDP. Only my parents and eldest sister can vote but I feel kinda excited at everything. Only me though. All of my other friends are like, "Meh, whatever."

TBH, I get kinda annoyed by people who DGAF about it and complain that it's all about the GE. This is important to Singapore and your future and all you can do is whine about how it's everywhere. -___- Even though I can't vote till the next election in 5 years time, I like to read and see what both PAP and the Opposition have to offer. I feel a lot of anti-PAP resentment due to all the problems of high cost of living, the foreign talent issue, soaring property prices and other things. I'm thinking of dragging my sister to SDP's rally tonight to hear what they have to say, since she is still undecided.

Ok. Bye.

Sister Sunday Vol. 3

2011-04-18T20:16:00.002+08:00

Went out with the sister for the 3rd consecutive Sunday.

First plan was to go to Clementi's Snip Avenue cause sister no. 2 wanted to trim her hair. But since the place was having a promotion offering super low prices, there was a line. Not willing to wait, we went to get Koi.

My first time ever drinking it. Erm, not a fan. I guess I don't enjoy bubble tea that much? Idk. But I didn't understand the hoopla about it.

Walked around the new mall before deciding to go to Orchard. Took a bus there and first thing we did was to have a late lunch at Wendy's.

Walked around at ION before going back to CWP. Went to the arcade, for the 3rd consecutive time. Haha. Timezone has a Sunday promotion where you top up $20 and get $20 free so you have $40 to blow.

Arcade time always goes like this.

"Lepas ni last tau!"

*swipes card*

"Last last."

Lol.

Took neoprints again. Look closely at the 2nd pic and you can see my sister's gigantic nose. HAHA.

Most epic picture evarrr.

Bye bye!

Acchan to see you out. :D Ain't she so cute. :)

Never Say Never

2011-04-18T20:10:00.002+08:00

Late updates ~~
On Thursday, went to watch JB: Never Say Never with Sobrina.

Not a fan of Bieber, but I was curious to see it after reading reviews. We went to The Cathay.

I swear me and Sob cannot be by ourselves as we struggled to buy tickets and our nachos. Lol. It was quite chaotic but we did manage in the end. Yay.

Went into the theater, there were only a few people. So it was quite comfortable.

Sob was, I quote 'excited nak mampos'. LOL XD

Overall, the movie was quite interesting with many cute and enjoyable moments and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It made me respect Bieber a bit more as he shows off his 'human' side. And he is talented.

After that, ate LJS and then walked aimlessly.

Had fun. :D

Just keep swimming

2011-04-08T19:00:00.005+08:00

Went swimming with Shahidah today at Sengkang Swimming Complex. Woke up like early, around 6.15am. ~_~

Got ready and had to sit around waiting for Shah to get out of her house before I got out to make the long journey to Sengkang. Morning rush hour ain't no joke peepz.

Anyways, met each other at Serangoon and journeyed the rest of the way. Arrived at Sengkang MRT station but still had to get onto the LRT to the place. We were so fascinated by everything, like tourists, haha. :P

Swam for like, 2-3 hours? Shah kept going on the slides, like numerous times. I kinda didn't like the slides where you have to lay down cause the freakin' water kept going into my freakin' nose. Tsk. Not cool.

After that, we sat around at the McD's there before going back to Compass Point for lunch. Wanting to be all rich we decided to go to Swensen's for lunch.

I ordered the Mega Burger while Shah ordered some baked rice thingy and we got free sides so I got fries (cause I looovee the dip) and Shah got prawn thingy. Lol. The burger was damn huge and filled with all kinds of tasty things. I love it. Sadly, I couldn't finish the burger cause the beef patty kinda is, too strong for my taste buds. Shah barely even finished her baked rice. Tsk tsk.

After that, we walked around and sat at the library for a while. Deciding to go home since we were drained of energy, we wanted to see if there were any buses to get to our destinations (Woodlands & Tampines) so we two makciks literally walked one whole round to see where 72 was when actually, it was just opposite from the mall.

*face palm*

Our luck just wasn't on our side today. *sigh*

Overall, had a pretty great time with that makcik.

School in like, a week's time. We'll be Year 2.

Meet Up With Chingoos

2011-04-07T23:13:00.003+08:00

Met up with the chingoos today. Amalina, Faezah, Sob and K.

Me and Faezah were the ones late today, which was a reversal, lol. Met up at McD where K bought Oreo Cheesecake, Sob and I bought Frappes and Faezah bought McSpicy I think. Ate, drank, talked.

Then we went to Frolicks cause they wanted to eat their frozen yogurt (forever, lol) but apparently the machine was spoilt so we had to come back later. So we went to see what movies were showing before going to the library cause Sob wanted to borrow this book. But unfortunately, it wasn't available.

I went to CyberActive and saw a 1TB external hard drive for $95. Worth it? I'm so gonna buy it next month. Too many videos... H!P & AKB. Tsk tsk.

Moving on.

Went back to Frolicks where they finally got their yogurt and we sat there eating it (well they were, me and Sob were looking). After that we went to Faezah's cousin's block cause she wanted to get her souvenir and so we sat at the void deck, talking nonsense.

Faezah wanted a new nickname, so we tried coming up with one but it was all and epic fail. Lol, K cannot take anything seriously. Lololol. Had so much fun laughing so hard... ^^

I was hungry so we went to Hello Western to have dinner. I had Chicken Chop which was quite delicious I must say.

After that, we went to the washroom, said goodbye and me and Faezah ran to catch the bus home.

Might be going swimming tomorrow.

Oh and it's the cutest derp in the world birthday today

Happy birthday Choi Siwon!

BYE BYE

Fun fun fun

2011-04-04T13:51:00.003+08:00

Went out with the sisters yesterday.

First, we went to our grandma's house to eat and lounge around. Lol.

Then, we went to Westmall to randomly walk around and look at things before deciding to go to the arcade.

They had a offer, purchase $20 and you get another $20 for free. So we topped up our 2 cards, and each had $40 in it, so we had $80 to blow. Haha.

Me and Amalina took one card, while the other 2 took another. Played shooting games, where both of us kept screaming 'itch' + 'B'. Too funny and we kept saying it was the last time but kept swiping the card every time one of us died before finally, both of us died at the same time so we ended it there.

Then we played another shooting game which we kept screaming and making a lot of noise in the already noisy arcade. Again, super hilarious.

After that, we took neo prints for like, the first time in what, 4 years? Lol. It was so random and funny.

Then we had dinner at Burger King before going home.

Ok. Thanks. Bye.

Dorama Ended

2011-03-31T18:29:00.002+08:00

My dorama finally ended. 'taisetsu na koto wa subete kimi ga oshiete kureta' ended and I'm quite pleased with the ending.

I'm a sucker for happy endings and thank goodness this dorama had a happy ending. It was such a touching end for the whirlwind roller coaster ride they put me through.

I was like

When they got together. And the ending hug was just too sweet. Now I must hunt for more good doramas to watch.

-CUT-

Sexy Siwon to seduce you. LOL XD

Dinner and Grocery

2011-03-29T20:34:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, went for dinner at Banquet, where else right.

Can't wait for CWP to finish upgrading/renovating. The lifts are always full in the evenings and it's like playing a game of 'Which lift can I squeeze in?'

Not fun.

Anyways, ate noodles.

Yup.

Then went to Fairprice to shop for groceries. Bought my favourite chocolate pudding and other household items.

Home.

Boring post is boring.

MY LIFE IS BORING.

Haha

BYE BYE

Suckerr Punch

2011-03-26T15:55:00.003+08:00

Watched 'Sucker Punch' with these chingoos yesterday.
Sob was forever late as usual. After waiting for her for at least 15 mins, we went up. A lot of school students.

A pretty dumb convo.

Me: *full of confidence* 3 tickets to SOCCER PUNCH.

*realises mistake, laughs like an idiot* Er, Sucker Punch

Girl at counter: *poker face*

Lol.

Anyways, gotta say, the movie is pretty freakin' awesome. It's a bit confusing but the battle scenes are amazing. I love it. But I think this movie is more geared towards guys as it features 5 beautiful ladies in skimpy outfits with weapons killing bad guys. Lol.

Made jokes about the dancing. Which was like this.

Hahaha. Shit never gets old. :P

Then walked and talked, as usual. Had a pretty great time with them, as usual. Haha. KTHXBYE.

Sem 2 results

2011-03-22T09:22:00.002+08:00

It was released at around 8am this morning.

When I heard Acchan's voice in SKN (my ringtone), the first thing I did was jump out of bed to shut it up.

Looked at the text and saw my grades.

Needed to double check so I switched on my laptop.

My thoughts. I got D's for my 2 forever problem modules, AFA and Stats. Which was no surprise really.

Then I saw I got a couple of As.

And my GPA rose a bit.

So now that I know my results and that I've improved this semester, I can relax and enjoy the rest of the holidays.

GIF PARTY!

As Rebecca Black says:

Bye bye. :D

Rotting

2011-03-20T19:43:00.003+08:00

Been basically doing nothing the past few days.

Just lazing around at home, watching TV, playing the computer and being a lazy ass in general.

Anyways, something to look forward to.

Or not.

Results will be released on the 22nd.

I will either

Wish me luck!

FRYDAY

2011-03-15T14:10:00.003+08:00

So there's this girl. Her name's Rebecca Black and she released this music video for the song 'Friday'.

And basically everyone on Tumblr is making fun of her. Hahahaha. Seriously, her song is so... And the video is ...

Needless to say, I LOL every time something new comes up on Tumblr. It gives me much happiness.

I especially love this girl. She's got mad skillz man.

My reaction every time I watch the video or see pictures of GIFs of it.

Random post over.

Bye.

J Pop for you

2011-03-15T00:03:00.002+08:00

Since K Pop is everyyyywhereee.

EXILE's latest single that I loveeee.

AKB48's latest single. Acchan's voice is just love

And, Perfume's Nee. They're an electropop trio and their songs are awesome. :)

BYE BYE

Update!

2011-03-14T23:49:00.002+08:00

Went to Jurong Point with the chingoos (minus Amalina) today. Ate (as usual) at LJS. But the forever awesome me forgot to bring her wallet. -.-

I brought everything else (EZ Link, cellphone, camera, IPod) but not the most important thing. Which is my freakin' wallet.

But the extremely nice and kind Sobrina lend me some of her money so that I would not starve to death.

Haha.

After that walked around for awhile but we got bored so we sat at McD to decide when everyone was free so that we could go to Haji Lane or ECP. Decided on Haji Lane cause Khad was forever busy.

Then took another LONNGGG bus ride home which made my butt and legs cramp. Yay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, if you have kept up with the news, a devastating earthquake and tsunami occurred in Japan on Friday.

The images they showed terrified me. It was seriously unreal. I felt like if I woke up the next day, Japan would be fine. It will all be a dream. But it's not. It's real. And it happened.

What frightened me the most was the possibility of a nuclear outbreak. I do not want another Chernobyl disaster. Japan has many problems and this huge one comes at them. I honestly hope that everyone there is fine and everything will be alright soon.

In times of disaster, the international community rallies together and you feel the love and support of everyone around the world. Times like this make me believe in humankind. That there is compassion and love in us.

So everyone, keep Japan and all the other countries in your thoughts and prayers. That is the least we can do.

Old pictures are old

2011-03-01T18:02:00.004+08:00

I was cleaning out my room and I stumbled across a photo album. It's always nice to look at old pictures and try to relieve the memories.
Kindergarten. I swear I hated the girl in the front row, 3rd from the right. She was so mean! *Taylor Swift's Mean song comes on*

My sister's face on the left cracked me up. I look so flippin' white and emo in the front. Yeap. Overalls were so cool back then.

I still remember when this was taken. Around 8 years ago? A DIY party at my uncle's house. First time I ever saw a steamboat. Hehe

I actually have no memory of this. But it should be when I was 10 because look at my nerdy smiley face. And I loved that baju kurung so much because I thought it was the prettiest shade of peach. Yeah, yeah. Lol
Outside photo with my little sister who kinda looks dumb here. HA HA.
Baby me. Don't I look so cute that you just want to take me home? :P

And me, crying so hard my hair is standing up. Woohoo, I was awesome even back then. :P

And this is the end of my self praising post.

Should be meeting up with the chingoos tomorrow. Good cause I've been literally doing nothing these past few days.

Bye bye

EXAMS ARE OVER!

2011-02-25T13:12:00.005+08:00

YAY!

Crazy

2011-02-22T20:48:00.002+08:00

Doing questions for Accounting for Assets (AFA).

I hate it.

I hate Maths or numbers in general. Just the thought of having to find something out makes my head spin round and round.

But at least Accounting is a bit easier than Maths. No formulas and having to find X or whatever.

So pray for me that I won't blank out and feel like shredding the paper into a million tiny pieces tomorrow.

Oh, on a totally random note, don't you hate it when you call someone for help and they laugh at your genuine questions with their friends.

-.-

Normally, this wouldn't piss me off, but today, I'm feeling a bit emotionally unstable so it pissed me off to no end.

Thank goodness I have another someone to bother with my endlessly dumb questions. I feel motivated now.

Ok.

Cut!

POM Exam

2011-02-18T13:55:00.001+08:00

POM exam today.

It was ok. Just that I think half of my brain cells just died trying to recall all the points.

And I totally blanked out on an 8 marks question.

-.-

Bye bye marks.

But otherwise, I'm sure I'll pass. Not sure about how much though.

Well, 1 down, 3 more to go.

I'm sure I can do it.

Q10

2011-02-15T13:16:00.001+08:00

Oh!

And I bought Q10! Yay!

Exams!

2011-02-15T13:07:00.003+08:00

Hello hello.

My study break had officially commenced a few days ago.

But, been spending the past few days studying randomly. Like, a few lectures in the morning, some in the afternoon and a bit more at night.

Quite productive, I must say. I finished my POM notes on Saturday and am already 2/3 through my Micro revision.

Gonna finish my Micro revision hopefully by today or tommorow, then read up on POM again because it's on Friday!

Well, gonna go watch TV, I mean, study.

Bye

Osaka

2011-02-09T23:21:00.002+08:00

There's gonna be a study trip to Osaka, Japan this March.

The sad thing is, it costs $2 400.

Which is too expensive for me.

Why wasn't I born rich?

Darn.

I really wanna go to Japan.

Have to pray the school organises another one.

DORAMA

2011-02-08T08:19:00.002+08:00

I don't usually watch dramas. I watch TV shows such as The Mentalist, 90210, Cougar Town and stuff like that, but not dramas.

Even though my sisters buy like tons of K dramas, I don't watch them. I just ask what's happening, watch whatever is playing then get the gist of the story and I'm done. Lol.

But this dorama, Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta, which roughly translates to 'The important thing is you told me everything', is strangely compelling.

It's about 2 teachers at the same school who are gonna get married in a few months. But before the start of the semester, the guy sleeps with a student. He doesn't know what happened and the fact that the girl is his student. He rushes to school, giving the girl a key to his apartment. So imagine his shock when he sees the girl in his class. So the girl is kinda messed up and wants to break up the 2 and this is basically what the storyline is. And blah blah blah, I'm too lazy to tell more. Haha

I first watched this drama because Shinoda Mariko and Toda Erika is in it. But then, the storyline is different and now I'm hooked.

And this is the end of things that is happening in Ain's life that do not concern you!

Bye!

Sleepover

2011-02-06T19:56:00.002+08:00

Slept over at grandma's house last night.

Arrived there around 6 plus. Was hungry so we went to McD's to eat.

Then me and my little sister went downstairs to rolleblade (she) and Swave boarding (me).

I'm totally getting the hang of Swave boarding.

Woot woot

Although, I still haven't figured out how to brake and also move it faster.

Hmm...

Anyways, tomorrow is the start of the last week of school.

But it's exams after that.

So...

See ya!

Geylang

2011-02-05T13:18:00.003+08:00

Went to Geylang on Thursday, the first day of CNY.

Went with aunt, uncles, grandma, cousin, sisters and mom. We went there to eat and walk around. Most of the shops were closed, save for some of the food shops.

Ate like a lot of delicious food. After that, went to grandma's house for a while before going home.

Possibly going to sleep over at grandma's place tonight.

One more week till the end of year 1.

2 more weeks to exams!

Ok. Bye

Debate

2011-01-27T20:56:00.002+08:00

Had a debate today.

I lost. Lol. Wasn't really prepared for it and all of my points didn't make sense. But whatever. The topic was about advertising which I know zilch about.

The other debate was about gay marriages in Singapore and whether it should be legalised. The debate was quite interesting, but I kinda supported the proposition.

Yes.

I think gay marriages should be allowed.

Will it happen?

No.

Singapore will never legalise gay marriages. Too controversial and unnecessary.

Good brain working.

Next Tuesday, will be Effective Comm ICA 3 and POM presentation. Last 2 presentations of my year 1. Next week will also be CNY.

I told JZ to give me oranges, not Sunkist ones but mandarin ones. She called me crazy.

Tsk.

And these past few days, me, JZ, Shah and Yvonne (just roped her in today) keep playing this game on my ITouch called 'Cover Orange'. It's a simple yet addicting game. Lol

Anyways, meeting up my chingoos tomorrow to eat at Mac. -.-

Haha.

Can't believe that in 2 weeks time, year 1 will be over.

WHOA.

Fast.

Projects!

2011-01-20T20:03:00.002+08:00

Swamped with projects which are all due in the next few days.

Tomorrow, Micro report.

Monday, Micro presentation, Sports report and presentation.

Tuesday, POM report.

And I think I have a debate on that day too.

Ah.

I always hate this period of time. Everyone was like, panicking when David said that Sports was due on Monday with presentations.

Rush rush rush

Sadly, can't meet up with my chingoos.

Out and About

2011-01-02T21:59:00.003+08:00

First post of 2011. Hope this year is good to you.

Woke up early on Sunday (I do that often) to go to the Zoo, with sisters, mom, uncle, aunt and cousin. Same old zoo story, walked around until energy drained, legs hurt and mood cranky.

After that went to Woodlands Waterfront to chillax. Climbed this jungle gym thingy and took pictures by the sea. Enjoyed the sea breeze before returning home.

Random but, I have this cool bruise on my knee from hitting it against the table. Haha. Great way to start 2011.

MacRitchie Park

2010-12-26T21:31:00.002+08:00

Woke up at the extremely early time of 5:05am on a Sunday, right after Christmas, to go to MacRitchie Park for my Sports Practical project.

Met Shah at Bishan and hopped onto her dad's lorry to go to MacRitchie. Been a long time since I've been in the back of an open air lorry, so it was nice with the morning air blowing.

Reached there around 6:40am, and there were already the runners. Took some pictures then waited for Yvonne. Turns out she was still at home.

-.-

*face palm*

So we walked up the route and stopped by the water where we took some pictures and talked nonsense. Went back to the starting point when Yvonne arrived and we interviewed the organiser. I stood there with my phone, recording his voice, while water from the roof dripped on me. -.- Nice.

Then we decided to see how long the route was and we walked. We went into the forest, with the rocky path. Told Yvonne and her boyfriend to run up first, since they're runners and will obviously be faster than me and Makcik, so they ran ahead while we two red people walked steadily. Took random pictures and talked, quite loudly I think, cause the path was silent and only the two of us were talking. Haha.

We only made it like, 2km (?), before Yvonne and her boyfriend had already ran to the ending point. WTF. Super fast. Haha. So we went back.

Said goodbye to the two and me and Makcik ate at the cafe. Haha, so much for burning fats. Then after that, we went home.

I was so tired, I immediately took a nap.

Ok.

Bye.

F is for friends

2010-12-24T22:53:00.002+08:00

Went out with these awesome friends/kawan/chingoo/tomodachi today to IMM.

Haha.

Made Khad wait for like, 45 minutes for us. Sorry K. Then walked around, talked, took pictures and LOL-ed before going to BAGUS to eat.

Sob ate her Bakmie. As usual.

Then walked around some more before I wanted to go and eat ice cream at McD, so we sat at McD, talking nonsense again.

Sob was totally hilarious today.

Me: Sob! Sob!

Sob: *turns around* No. Don't call me Sob. Call me 'maknae' *wiggling finger*

I almost died of laughter.

For reals.

Hehe.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

East Cost Park

2010-12-20T20:30:00.002+08:00

Went to East Coast Park yesterday with my uncle, aunt, cousin and sisters.

Been a really long time since I went. Had fun playing in the water, sand and also rollerblading for a while.

Today is the start of my term break. Basically played the Sims 3, practised guitar and also roller bladed for the first time at the park connector near my house.

Lol. :P

Lots of projects to do. Should sort it out tomorrow.

AKB48 Singapore Fan Meet

2010-12-11T23:35:00.004+08:00

Ticket!

Me!

(All of this is from my not so good memory, heh)

Fom the top, met up with JZ at Esplanade around 1pm and proceeded to the Singapore Toys, Games and Comics Convention (STGCC) at Suntec City. The AKB48 fan meet ticket included a one day pass to the convention so we went. Collected my ticket and went to the convention.

A lot of cosplayers (as usual) on the 3^rd floor. Went in, got a goodie bag and proceeded to round around the halls. Lesser people than at AFAx last month. Rounded for about an hour before going to BK to eat lunch.

After that, checked out where the fan meet/queuing was then went back in, to buy something. JZ bought a random manga, I didn’t really wanna buy anything so we went out. Went to the washroom before going to the place for queuing up.

Official queue started at 3.00pm, I only arrived there at 3.30pm and there was already like, 50+ fans in front of me. Saw the fan club from Indonesia and some of the SGP48 people. They stood out with their bright pink shirts.

So I settled myself down and waited. I whiled away the time reading a book, listening to music, watching videos, playing games and just staring blankly around as more people filled in.

6.30pm, we were led into the theatre. Any gifts had to be placed at the table to be given to the girls later, so a lot of the other people were quite disappointed. Lol. Went in, got my Chance no Junban postcard and got a seat 4 rows from the front, on the left. The middle were all filled, sadly.

Waited around, watching videos from the CnJ single. The wotas were already screaming names and chanting. I was just soaking in the atmosphere and looking around like a kid at a candy store.

Around 7pm, the lights dimmed and everyone immediately stood up. I was caught off guard, so I threw my bag on my seat and quickly stood up too. Haha.

They had Overture first, but I didn’t really know the chant, except the ‘Jya, jya’ part. All the ‘-bers’ were too confusing. Haha, loser. -.-

Anyways, the 12 girls came out and ZOMG, they were shining. You know when people always say ‘You look prettier in person’, I believe it. They seriously all looked super pretty in person. They sang ‘River’ first. It was medley (I can’t freakin’ remember all the songs!) before the introduced themselves.

And OMG, it was so cute. They all memorised their greetings, heh, so it was spoken in halting English. Like, “Hi. My. Name. Is. Asuka Kuramochi.” All the greetings had a pattern, like name, nick name, something about Singapore, and nice to meet you. It was seriously so cute when they forgot what they were supposed to say and went, “Eh!?” And, they wrote their greetings on the back of their hands! LOL. One of the girls was looking at her hand, and the crowd went ‘Ehhhhh!!!’ and the other girls were like shaking their head and gesturing ‘No, no’. It was hilariously cute. And, one of the girls (I've just found out is Matsui Sakiko) spoke some Singlish which was deathly kawaii. She said, "Ok lah, ok lah!" which made all of us super excited. :D

They had like, sub group songs before they all came out for ‘Aitakatta’. There was a short MC. People were screaming when they were talking, so others would shush them and the girls would laugh. Lol. One of them (Harugon, I think) asked them where the best place in Singapore was and everyone began screaming the answers and they laughed and finally settled on ‘Merlion’. Then Mocchi told a story of how she visited Sentosa. She said ‘Sen...’ then went ‘EH?’ before saying ‘Sentosa’.

“I went to Sentosa...” then she paused and kept gesturing with her hand, like spinning it so in everyone’s minds, yesterday. But then after a while she finally said, ‘Today’.

LMAO.

They then sang Oogoe Diamond and Bingo in English. At first, I was confused when the lyrics weren’t the same. I was thinking, ‘What kind of language is it?’ then realised it was English.

Oops.

My bad.

I don’t mean to sound mean, but it was hard to make out the words, but kudos to them for trying and the management for making songs in English. When the two songs came out, I felt like they were reading my mind, because both songs were on replay on IPod, so I was totally stoked when I heard it.

The ‘last song’ was Heavy Rotation.

SQUEALS!

The song is so chant worthy so I was like, max tension, when it came out. And I screamed along to the ‘I want you, I need you, I love you’ parts. And also half did the ‘Heavy rotation’ motions. Lol.

The lights came back on as they waved goodbye and the fans all chanted ‘Encore!’ for 3 minutes and they came back in, in the CnJ white outfits and sang CnJ. That was the last, last before they had this random Jankenpon, with Uchi throwing scissors, so those who had stone on their postcards would get autographed posters.

Darn my bad luck. Or Uchi for throwing scissors, cause I got paper. -.- After that, they got ready for the high touch event.

ZOMGIWASSONERVOUS.

Before going up the stage, I was nervous like I was going for surgery or the dentist. My heart was literally pounding and I kept wiping my hands on my jeans. The first person I got to high five was Uchi, and she was nice, she looked straight into my eyes and said ‘Thank you.’ Being the awkward girl that I am, I just smiled like a dork and said ‘Thank you’ back. The next few girls, I said ‘Good work’. Ok, I whispered, since my voice suddenly decided to not come out.

Mocchi, Sumire looked right at me with beaming smiles and said thank you, so did Ami. I can’t remember the order of the girls, but those 10 seconds that I got to high five all of them were flippin’ awesome! The last was Harugon I think and she was like, the high tension girl, she said thank you really brightly and waved at me at the end.

After that, I walked off stage with jelly knees and a stupid smile on my face. Holy crap, my hour with AKB48 was over. And it was awesome and the $30 I spent was so worth it. It wasn’t really a meet the fans session, just a mini concert with an extra high touch event thrown in.

So I walked home with dorky smile on my face, still thinking of AKB48.

My life is complete.

Not really, but still.

Girls that scored higher on my list are Uchida Mayumi, Kuramochi Asuka, Maeda Ami and Sato Sumire.

Uchi looked so much prettier in real life, and she resembled Takamina at times on stage. She was really nice, and took her role as center girl seriously and quite well.

AHHHH...

AKB48!

December Weekend

2010-12-05T21:00:00.004+08:00

Happy that we won UNO

On Saturday, went to BB BK to meet up with Amanda Lim Qing Pei, Khad and Keciq for a random meet up to play UNO and Monopoly Deal.

At BK, I was the only eating. After eating, played Monopoly Deal (MD) and amazingly, I won twice! Haha, I've played MD with my classmates and I lose every single time (loser sign on forehead). Bought pie then played UNO. And I won like once and came in second the other times. I was on fire! Haha.

Laughed and talked. Then went to Fairprice cause Khad and Keciq wanted to buy sushi. There, I proceeded to poke every single thing that interested me and also squeeze and pinch Amanda's cheeks, which I haven't done in a long time.

Then rounded WM before going home. :)

Today, woke up freakin' early (5:10am -.-) to go to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. I think today is the earliest I have woken up this whole year.

Anyways, met Shahidah at Marina Bay, because according to her, the race point was at Marina Barrage. However, on the MRT, I saw most of the race participants getting off at City Hall. So, there was nothing at Marina Bay, and with red faces, we boarded the train again and went to City Hall.

We followed the hundreds of people wearing the race shirt to the start point. Took lots of random pictures. The whole point of being there was to 'observe' how the event was run and organized. But we were like tourists, taking pictures with the Esplanade, the Marina Bay IR and Supreme Court. LOL.

Walked like crazy to find the start point for the 10km run. Saw the flag off then went to the Padang for the end point.

Got ambushed by people asking to do survey. Took pictures again then went to see if we could see Yvonne finishing the race. Spent like an hour looking at people running, before boredom, tiredness, hunger and thirst made us go look for food, shelter and something to do.

Ate at KFC. Then sat on the steps outside Marina Square, talking nonsense about our lives. Yvonne still haven't called and it was getting hot, so we went back in and sat down at one of the seats. Finally told someone about my current 'want', which is super embarrassing to talk about out loud.

Turns out, we wanted the same thing and proceeded to talk about it. Totally forgot our whole objective for going there. In the end, didn't meet Yvonne since she was going home. Oops. Talked some more before finally going home at around 12pm.

Tiring weekend, especially today.

2 more weeks to the term break. (YES)

And 1 more week to the fan meet. (YES)

My Guitar

2010-11-27T22:05:00.002+08:00

My guitar.

I really suck at playing it.

Lol.

I printed out the chords sheet, but my thick fingers can't move fast enough to change chords. And I don't know how to read the music sheet to play songs so I just strum and make noise in my room.

The only chord I'm confident of is C.

Haha.

I need an instructor.

Anyone?

HP 7, Seoul Garden

2010-11-21T00:23:00.002+08:00

Before the movie.

At Seoul Garden.

First thing in the morning, went to Yishun to go and try to buy SS3 tickets for my sister. Even though I'm not going. -.-

Reached there at around 10am and there was a queue already. And guess who was at the head of the queue. No. Not a bunch of girls. But a group of guys. Yes.

I know it's sexist but seriously, do guys really go and watch a group of 10 other guys dancing and singing on stage? Or are they just scalpers? Lol.

Anyways, the counter opened at 11am. But surprise, surprise, the tickets were already sold out. Only left the single seats at cat 2 places. Called sister, she didn't want, so we went to Orchard to give my mom her ATM card.

After that, made our way to City Hall to go to Marina Square where we were gonna watch the movie. Went into HMV (again, like always) and saw lots of K Pop CDs. And still no AKB48 cd. -.-

Sat around at McD's while waiting for my big sister to arrive then we went to the GV. The hall was quite packed and we had to sit in the front, like 5 rows away from the screen. Needless to say, my neck ached quite a bit after that.

But, HP 7 was damn awesome. They stuck quite close to the book, so I'm very happy about that. Ron was just so darn adorable as usual. They didn't leave with a cliffhanger so that was good. Can't wait for Part 2 next year! :D

After the movie, went to Bugis to eat at Seoul Garden. The first and last time I went there was 3 years ago with my 2E1 peeps, so this was the 2nd time I was dining there. Ate quite a lot of meat. The crabs and prawns were nice and had like 2 servings of ice cream. Haha, big eater.

Walked around Iluma for a while before going to Somerset. I wanted to see what that HMV had to offer. And they had some J Pop cds, which made me very happy. They only had 1 measly AKB48 CD and it wasn't even the latest one. -.- It was one from way back, in 2007. -.-

But they sold almost all of the Hello Project groups, with Morning Musume getting their own like, little section. Yes! Score one for H!P. :D

After my sister bought a drama and movie and some magazines, we went home. Super tired. Was out for 12 hours today. My feet hurt. Lol

Gotta study for Micro ICA on Monday. And all the other subjects too. ICAs are coming already! Go go go!

AFAx 2010

Went to Anime Festival Asia 2010 today with Jia Zhen.

In the MRT, I already saw two girl cosplayers. And an almost fight. Suddenly, this younger man stood up and like, shouted at this older man and tried to punch him. Curse words flying all over the place and he kept gesturing towards his daughter I think. I think he was implying that the older man was looking inappropriately at his daughter or something. Anyways, he left and the old man was quite shaken. I was like, WTF. Why is Singapore so angry these days? Slashings and fights. Years of pent up anger?

Haha.

Met Jia Zhen and went to Suntec Convention Hall. We didn't really know where to go, but just went with the flow (i.e follow people in weird costumes) and saw that the queue was super long. But then this man led us back down and we bought our tickets and went back up, bypassing a lot of people to go in. There was a lot of people already, so we walked in a circle, looking at the outside booths first before venturing to the middle. There was a small stage, with people I don't know. Haha. Got the map and we looked around.

There was a lot of anime being sold and LOADS of cosplayers. There was also a butler and maid cafe. But we didn't go in cause there were many people and I didn't know how much it costs. Lol. The butlers were quite handsome though. ^^

Looked at imitations swords, guns and other weapons. There were cool shirts and other stuff, but it was all so expensive, so we didn't buy any.

After rounding the entire place, went out, next door to the Borders book sale. Lol. Randomly looked at books, but none were interesting so went back into the Festival. Was determined to at least buy something to remember the event by, so I bought 3 key chains. They were cheap and cute so we bought some.

Then, after going round for like, 3-4 times, and seeing this apparently famous cosplayer from Japan, we went out for lunch at LJS. Ate, then went to HMV.

HMV sucks balls.

They don't stock any AKB48 CDs. Like, not even one. -.- How can you not stock Japan's hottest girl group? Even CD Rama has a few AKB48 CDs, the latest being 'Heavy Rotation'.

Pfft.

We were tired, so we went home.

Had fun. There's gonna be another one next year, so I'll save up and buy a shirt or something. If there's a famous band coming for the concert, might go.

Oh, and I'm going for AKB's December fan meet. It took me 10 secs to confirm my purchase. I had no chance to rethink.

The thing that's making me nervous is the fact that I'm gonna be shaking hands with 16 Japanese girls. Eek.

AKB48 Beginner

2010-10-30T15:42:00.003+08:00

LOVING AKB48's new single, 'Beginner'. It's a dark song and a total contrast from their previous single, 'Heavy Rotation'.

The original PV is bloody awesome too. It's like a gore PV, with Acchan getting stabbed in the hand and the scream she lets out is freakin' fantastic. I may sound sadistic but you have to watch it to understand.

I have mixed feelings about AKB48. On one hand, I like them. They're funny, pretty and have decent songs. This single is on it's way to be a million seller in Japan, selling 500 000 copies on the first day alone. That is AMAZING.

On the other hand, if they get a million seller, it kinda condemns Morning Musume further into obscurity. AKB48 are already national idols, at the peak of their careers where they easily sell 100 of thousands of copies.

Morning Musume were like that, during their peak, 10 years ago. They had a string of number 1 hits and sold thousands of copies. But then, when you're on top, you're bound to fall, and fall they did. They now sell a respectable 30 000 to 40 000 copies every single. But that pales in comparison to AKB. A lot of MM fans have shifted to the AKB army, and they're only growing in strength.

I want AKB to do well but at the same time, I don't want them to do well.

Ah, I should have stuck to listening to American music, where you don't become so connected to the singers. :-/ But it's too late to turn back when you're already stuck in, waist deep.

Hoot!

2010-10-30T15:36:00.002+08:00

Loving the new song, concept and video!

All the girls look hot. Fany's blond wig needs to be burnt. Lol. Choi Siwon is so handsome and dashing in that suit. Ahh.

Hoot hoot! :D

Stuff

2010-10-30T15:24:00.003+08:00

Random post to update this blog. Things I got this week.

A free IPhone cover because I bought Taylor Swift's latest deluxe album. It's sparkly! :D
The album. Loving all the songs. And I forgot how much I love her and her awesome lyrics. :)
And a pair of new, cheap sports shoes. Since this semester, there's gonna be 'P.E' lessons, might as well buy a pair to last me a few years.

I've made up my mind. Gonna skip AKB48 concert to go for Taylor Swift's next month. Dang it. Why can't I be rich? :(

K Pop Night 2010

2010-10-24T13:24:00.005+08:00

Decked out to support SNSD.

Best. Night. Ever.

Start from the beginning. Went out with my 2 elder sisters and a friend at around 3pm to go to Expo. There were a lot of sales going on so, there were a lot of people there. But saw SONEs almost everywhere, decked out in SNSD shirts and carrying pink light sticks/sabers.

Saw many SHINee and Big Bang fans. There was a Big Bang Indonesia fan club. The queues for the standing pit and Cat 1 were long. Joined the cat 3/4/5/6 queue. Doors were supposed to open at 6pm, but it only opened an hour later. The process was surprisingly not chaotic, everyone was very orderly.

We all had different seat numbers and we were hoping to exchange with people so that we could sit together. In the end, me and my eldest sister sat together, while my other sister sat with her friend.

MCs came out, and pumped up the crowd at around 8pm.

The first band was FT Island. They sang 4 songs I think. I can't remember. I only know 1 song which is their latest single.

Next was 'The Boss'. Cuteness all around. Everyone was still seated and not quite excited yet.

Then it was 'ZE:A'. Screamed for Dongjun. They sang 'Mazeltov', a song that I hate. Then they sang my favourite song, 'All Day Long'. Ahh. After that they sang their latest single. During the talk, Kwanghee was so cute. Lol. After they were done performing, he grabbed the mic and kept saying "Annyong, annyong". So cute. :D

After that, was 'Infinite'. They had a dance break at first before performing 'Come Back Again', a song that is so catchy. Then it was 'She's Back'. I can't remember, but I think they performed another song which I don't know.

Next was, ZOMG, SHINee! Jonghyun didn't come. At this point, me and my sister had switched seats to be with my sister and her friend and we stood up and screamed.

TAEMIN!

They sang 4 songs, 'Replay', 'Ring Ding Dong', 'Lucifer' and 'Hello'. Taemin and Onew covered JH's parts and they did well. Except for Onew messing up during the beginning of RDD. The place was electric. Screams and chants and singing. Awesome.

Then it was the moment I had been waiting for.

SO NYUH SHI DAE A.K.A GIRLS' GENERATION!

All of the SG SONEs lit up their light sticks and sabers and pink was the colour. They came out and sang 'Genie' and 'Oh'. Tiffany rose up higher in my rankings for her super awesome, "Singapore, put it back on!" Holy crap. I almost died right there and then.

There was a short talk segment and Tiffany, Jessica, Seohyun and SooYoung spoke. SY and her cute Engrish.

They then performed 'Run Devil Run' and 'Gee'. There was a short break before 'Gee' and everyone was chanting 'Gee! Gee! Gee!'. The song came on and it was amazing. The fanboys were great, chanting loudly and singing along. Me and my sister, at that point, didn't really care, and just let loose, screaming, singing and chanting along. My knees felt like they were gonna give way. I was THAT excited.

The last performance was Big Bang. They sang the most, 6 songs. I didn't really know any of the songs, so I was quite lost. Lol.

After that, all of the artistes came out and said goodbye. And it ended.

Seriously, the best 2 and a half hours of my life. Every dollar was worth it. To see all those idols especially SNSD, in the flesh, was amazing and so surreal.

Now, I want either an SMTown Live or SNSD's ITNW concert to be in Singapore. That'll be even more amazing. :)

Doramas

2010-10-07T12:36:00.003+08:00

So I've been wasting my time away watching Japanese doramas. Acting is kinda bad but since they feature idols, it is forgiven.

Currently watching:

Mendol-Ikemen Idol

The show is about 3 girls who dress up as guys so that they can fulfill their dreams of being idols. Super hilarious and features 3 AKB48 members. Takahashi Minami, Kojima Haruna and Minegishi Minami.

Majisuka Gakuen

Still watching the first episode. Loading is slow. -.- But apparently it's about girls in this weird ass school where you can basically do anything you want. All of the girls are gangsters and shit like that. Idk. Lol.

But it features almost all of the AKB48 members.

Q.E.D

Featuring Takahashi Ai of Morning Musume. The guy is cute and she's even cuter. Lol It's a romance/drama/mystery kind of show, so it floats my boat very well.

Going out again tomorrow. Yay. :D

GEE GEE GEE GEE JAPAN!

2010-10-06T14:11:00.003+08:00

Japan are gonna be Gee'd by the 9 lovely ladies of SNSD or Shojo Jidai as they are called in Japan. The 'Gee' Japanese version PV just came out and it's awesome. Very colourful and fun and Minho looks smokin' in it. :) Check it out and be prepared to "Gee gee gee gee baby baby baby".

Replay

2010-10-05T22:20:00.002+08:00

So, I was just reading back all of my past entries. Brings back too much memories. I laughed at some of the things I wrote. Tried to remember and relieve back some of the things that happened. I really miss YISS and all of my friends every time I read it.

I should seriously stop reading my past entries. -.- I think everyone has moved on except me.

It'll take a few years. This has only been a year since I left YISS, so the memories and experiences are still raw in my mind. During this time, when I see status updates of people taking O Levels and graduating, I wanna tell them to stop and just savour every last moment they have while they are still students. While the feeling of being a part of that community still exists.

Because once you graduate and go back to the school, the feeling just isn't the same anymore. It just feels like you're a visitor to the school. Like, that building isn't your second home anymore. That the halls that you walked on, the classrooms that you sat in and the things that you touched for the past 4/5 years feel foreign.

Well, I guess I feel this way since I look back at my 4 years in YISS fondly. I enjoyed every single moment, good or bad, that happened in those years that have shaped me.

I keep repeating this but seriously, if I could go back in time and redo the whole entire four years, I would say yes in a heartbeat.

It's not that I don't like poly life, it's just that, I don't feel like I fit in with my friends yet. Like, I don't really feel comfortable yet with them. I keep thinking of things to say and I don't feel myself when I'm around them. I only feel real and me when I'm with my beloved Rubies. I don't know, I just have to give it some time. I've only been in poly for less than 5 months. Hopefully, I'll feel me again next semester.

Random, wordy essay. Just need to pour my thoughts out. Read somewhere that Virgos are better at expressing their feelings through blogging/writing. It makes me feel better when I see my train of thought in words.

The past is strapped to our backs. We do not have to see it; we can always feel it. ~Mignon McLaughlin,The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Bowling and movie

2010-10-04T23:18:00.003+08:00

Went bowling today at Kallang Leisure Park. Looonnggg time since I bowled. Probably a year or so, so I kinda sucked at first. But after a while, got the hang of it again and I got a freakin' STRIKE! Yatta! :D Lol.

After that, went to Toa Payoh to eat and also watch the movie 'Devil'.
Since Sah, Shah and Syafiq had free tickets which were available only at Eng Wah and the movie was showing at the right time. The cinema was super old and when we were going to our seats, I think I hit something and the chair's arm fell off. We cracked up. The metal bars in the front were also wobbly.

Anyways, the movie was OK. The sound effects were scary and it was quite captivating. Wish that they would have developed the story more.

After that, went to CWP Banquet to eat with family. Then shot some more bad guys at the arcade before going home.

Lee Taemin is such a cutie pie! Loving the song. Going back to their roots. They're a RnB group, not a pop electro group.

School's in 2 more weeks!

Fat

2010-09-30T19:40:00.002+08:00

I'm getting fat sitting at home. Seriously, all I do is eat. Not really, but still. I'm gonna be fat when you see me. Lol.

Yes, I've been into J Pop. Not recently but quite. Lol. I don't make sense right now. Only interested in Hello! Project and AKB48. Number 1 variety idols have to be SMAP. Old guys but still super funny. :D

Well, 3 more weeks to school and K Pop night. I wanna go out. Anyone? :P

Results

2010-09-28T15:04:00.002+08:00

SUCK BALLS.

This is a total wake up call. I must work hard in Semester 2. I don't wanna reveal it but let's just say, it's terrible like HOLY FREAKING CRAP.

-.-

Seriously, gonna work hard and get As in Semester 2. The good thing is I passed all the subjects and don't have to retake any.

It's like a kick in the butt.

Or a slap in the face.

WORK HARD AIN!

TGIF

2010-09-24T21:42:00.002+08:00

Went out with my sister to CWP to eat at Banquet today. We were hungry and my mom didn't cook. So she ate noodles while I ate rice.

Walked around. A lot of sales at CWP since most of the ground floor shops are closing for renovations.

Day was boring. Bleh.

I want a 1TB external hard drive. Must save money so that I can put all of my videos in there. Too much crap in my laptop already. LOL

Bored!

2010-09-20T22:13:00.005+08:00

Well, I was bored so I decided to randomly go out alone. Went to North Point, then Sun Plaza before going back to Causeway Point.

That was how bored I was.

North Point. Did nothing really. Just walked around randomly trying to find the John Little but after a while, got distracted so eventually, didn't even find it. Decided to go to Sun Plaza.

Sun Plaza. Went into This Fashion, looking around and just touching clothes like some crazy person. It was a weird atmosphere in there so after debating in my mind, decided not to buy anything and went to the library. Didn't really wanna read anything so went to the bus stop. I guess my mind wasn't focused cause I walked past it before having to rewind like a dumbass. The bus going to Woodlands was looping a long way, so decided not to waste money and time and took the MRT.

CWP. Wandered around aimlessly. Went to Popular. Saw AKB48's 'Heavy Rotation' CD there. CD Rama is really keeping up with the times. Almost all of the latest K Pop and J Pop discs are there. Wonderful. Bought an empty CD and a new holder for my EZ Link. Total random buys.

Then wandered around aimlessly before going to the Dollar Shop and buying, plasters, toothbrushes and biscuits. I am such a random buyer. Don't ask me why.

My random buys. Not the plastic bag.

Bought bubble tea then went home.

Watched Date Night. That movie is hilarious. Tina Fey and Steve Carell are comedy geniuses.

Oh. And FINALLY, got a new chair for the desk. The other had broken wheels and was extremely uncomfortable so this is flippity awesome!

Well, 2 consecutive posts. Wonder if I can keep this up. Lol

Till then, tara tara ta!

Hari Raya '10

2010-09-19T15:50:00.006+08:00

Well, since I told Mary I'm gonna keep my blog going for 10 years, I've decided to, hopefully, actively resume blogging.

1st day.

Didn't buy any new clothes this year cause of K Pop night and mostly cause we didn't feel like it. Haha. So wore the blue baju cause my sister couldn't fit into her red one and didn't wanna be left out.

K POP Night tickets

Can't wait for 23 October 2010! My Girls' Generation and SHINee, here I come! :P Seriously hard to get the tickets. Sistic was crashing and the tickets were all sold out in like 5 minutes. Thankfully we got the seats even though it's not together. But as long as I'm there, I'm a happy little kid.
