Kay so I think an update is due. Been living the Life of the Lucky; haven't had this much fun since, well, never ! Actually I think all this freedom's a little bad for me, don't know how I'm gonna cope once I ''get back" to school.

Anyway, here goes a play-by-play of the week's events :


Sunday: European Association Christmas Concert

A small group of us (lynette gen cass kaijun yangzhen me) formed an acapella group to perform for this charity christmas concert function organised by the European Association.

It was a pretty sweet event, considering it was for underprivileged elderly (all Eurasians, of course). Performances by supposed local celebs like John Melina (?!?!?) and Don Richmond haha ! We sang a few xmas + non-xmas songs, haha the video is SUPERRRRR embarrassing :X

Let's just say no one can move like sop ones ;)

forgot to mention Mackie's parents were like the in-charge(s) for the performing comm

Monday: GOSSIP GIRL MARATHON (L)(L)

Oh. My. Gosh. Seriously, how could I have not discovered GG sooner ?!? I used to think it was just a shallow superficial scandalous serial (haha sorry i like alliteration !!) but BOY WAS I WRONG. It's a shallow superficial scandalous serial with beautiful people !!! And the best thing is, these beautiful people have relationships with each other !!!

Homg.

So basically, I spent 8 hours at Cassy's house just staring at her comp screen and salivating and WANTING MORE. Can't believe we only watched 9 episodes ! (?!) Of season 1 !!! Gah desperately need to get my hands on the dvds to catch up.

So. HOT.

This, my friends, is Dan&Serena, a.k.a the best and most likeable couple in GG. Or at least the first season, so it seems. Dan (Penn Badgley) is like, really really cute and witty and the sweetest thing is, he's like this poor dude who's had the biggest crush on the insanely gorgeous Serena (Blake Lively) since forever. So when they get together, you just wanna jump out of your seat and whoop.

Coolest thing is, Blake and Penn dated in real life ! For 3 years ! Note that it's dated, because they just broke up this year, before I even started to acknowledge their existence, which is beyond depressing.

But even so I stand firm that Blake+Penn make the cutest couple ever, pwns Zac+Vanessa HANDS DOWN. So totally praying that they'll patch it up and get back together and have the most gorgeous babies on earth ):

Tuesday: Easy A Day

Meh so due to some last min change of plans, I went out alone with GenGen. Trained to Dhoby Gaut for some thrift shopping that I discovered via http://sophiewillocq.blogspot.com/ at a thrift store called New 2 U. (You can see the signboard just behind Gen's head)

Anyway, the clothes were pretty much terrible and unbelievably cheap. Nothing cost over 6bucks HAHAHA gen and i were in HEAVEN. Bought this really cute shirt with a cat print on it that was initially priced @ 2bucks, but they have half-price for students on tues, so basically I got it for ONE MEASELY DOLLAR SUCKAH.

Wish they had nicer clothes though, cos everything there was like for old middle-aged people T_T

Quickly trained down to Orchard to catch Easy A @ Cineleisure. Pretty good show ! I think the plot ending was kinda stupid, but the technical work was done really well. And best of all ... PENN BADGLEY WAS IN IT !!!

He played Emma Stone's love interest but come on, we all know that he looks tons better with Blake and probably will only ever have feelings for her. ^^

Wednesday: Stoned at home

Watched Legally Blonde 1 & 2. 1 was better and I now have a better impression of Reese Witherspoon.

Thursday: Narnia-Ikea Outing !!

Voyage of the Dawn Treader w/ nette tian tong ning @ AMKhub. Visually entertaining but the script was so corny ! I was cringing half the time. AWWW I miss Susan and Peter.

Meatball-filled lunch afterwards, followed by an adventure for Tian's new Pikachu through the wonderful world of Ikea.

proposing

Friday: Sentosa w/ the Teos !

Spontaneous outing with Gen and her family to Sentosa. Spent the day at the beach taking pretty photos and frolicking in the water ~

Saturday: Baby Edward's Party + Double-flea attack

Went for the 3month-birthday lunch for my (almost) newborn cousin Edward ! Cute little thing, but honestly, I don't take very well to babies. They're kinda ... ugly ._.

Really fun catching up w/ the aunts and uncles though. That would sound bizarre, if not for the fact that due to weird relations, they're still under Generation Y.

Trained down to Raffles Place after the lunch to go flea-ing @ Alcova w/ Megan. Exciting much !!! We're true blue flea addicts now.

A little unnerving to browse at first, cos all the people there looked so condescending and unfriendly O.O Haha nothing like the friendly faces at the Haji Flea.

But we still managed to get stuff ! Especially since we finished the entire place in record time and decided to head over to the Flashbang flea at Singapore Flyer Skydeck. Hooray for double-flea attack ! I got 3 dresses, 3 rings and a top for $35. Not my best but still reasonably cheap I guess :) Totally made up for the fact that we got scammed 10bucks by the taxi driver while cabbing from Alcova to Flyer.

WOW so I've finally finished this agonizingly long post and if you've read it till here, I truly applaud you. Next update will be when I'm back from Phuket then, since I'm leaving on Tues ! Whoo fun I even bought brand new (hot pink) sunnies just for the trip ^^

SEE Y'ALL. XOXO. (You know you love me)

After talking to Gilaine yesterday, I was really inspired to outline my career path more distinctly, and not just sit around wondering where I wanna go after JC. Duh I want to go overseas, but previously I had absolutely no idea where. What the top film schools were, their admission rates+fees, yada yada. So now I'm here googling and I find myself overwhelmed with choices. It's kinda embarrassing but I can't help daydreaming about the possibilities of a my dazzling future while reading all the programmes offered.

^^ teehee.

People who know me well will know that I'm a complete worrywart. And right now, yes NOW, instead of enjoying the glorious holidays ttm, I'm worrying about how I'll ever get to any of those schools. The fees are a freaking fatman bomb and my parents have stated clearly that if I wanna go overseas, it's gonna come out of my own pocket T.T

But I clicked on the doc on scholarships and it's 33 pages long, and despite my constant irrational need to worry, my greater need to procrastinate and be lazy took over, thus forcing me to close the damn document.


Guess this whole hooha about colleges was also spurred by my discovery and newfound love for yet another musically-talented brunette

KURT HUGO SCHNEIDER. -insert a million fangirly hearts-

Apparently extremely popular on youtube, I just started appreciating his downright awesomeness and ability to play like 20 instruments.

He even freaking played Pachelbel's Canon on mobile phones ?!? Like using the beeps non-touchscreen phones make when you press the buttons. Genius man.

And he arranges all these amazing mash-ups and medleys which his partner sings, but seriously, people should be going gaga over HIM instead of his singing buddy.
It sure helps that Kurt's really easy on the eyes too. REALLY easy.

But the coolest fact about him is that he goes to Yale. Musically-talented, slightly nerdy, cute AND he goes to an Ivy League College ?! Do these people even exist in Singapore ?!
)':


On a less depressing note, Nettey came over for a Glee Marathon today, since we were hardworking students and missed out on the entire Season 1 to mug for prelims/O's. Lovelovelove Finn and Kurt, who looks so cute in the first few episodes but not so much in the later eps. And Quinn, of course, the most gorgeous in the whole cast (Y)

Santana is starting to look extremely appealing too ... her skin positively GLOWS and it's pretty obvious that she's got the best bod in the club.

Yeah ... my lesbanic fetish starting up again :/ Sometimes it comes this close to overstepping my very normal obsession over Angmohs.

I guess you could say I have this really silly insecurity that my juniors won't like me anymore now that I'm not in choir with them.

Never felt so lonely in my life.

I AM SO FUCKING BORED.

I THINK IM GOING TO GO MAD.

PROM WAS AWESOME !

So glad my red dress turned out alrighty in the end, i was afraid it would look too plain :D Ugh but so many girls wore red on that night ! Not special anymore ): But no matter, everyone looked really really pretty !

Met w/ Nette + Tings + Boon to do hair @ Far East before going and they curled my hair until damn taitai-like. Then we rushed off to do express mani-pedi which was so express that I smudged it 2mins after it was done ): Then rushed off to Swissotel to rehearse w/ choir greens and finally got to change. Flower helped me do eye makeup haha it smudged towards the end so I think I looked pretty darn tramp-like.

But yes ! Food was pretty good and everyone looked gorgeous :D Just before our turn to go onstage I started chattering and shivering (as I always do) so badly that Gen & PeiYun had to start rubbing my arms. But I guess it turned out OH-KAY just hope we could even be heard ~

Lots of photo-taking preceded before we finally retired to the hotel room. More photos, gossiping and at long last, sleep. 12 of us squashed into 2 adjoining rooms HAHAHAHAHA EPIC. Rueiern+Gen+Wen+Lynette+me jammed into the king-size bed while the others shared the 2 queen-sized. In the morning I went to check on them and they even placed all the armchairs at the bedside for their outstretched legs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yep so in the morning had macs for breakfast, talked/played loads more and went home voiceless.

And basically, I've been going out everyday since. Seriously, not one day of homestay I think I'm gonna set a record ! ^^ Watched HP7 (which was absolutely AWESOME i love david yates now), shopped tons and spent wads of cash in the past few days. And I caught Prince Caspian for the very first time and now I'm officially a Narnia fan. Wish Susan and Peter didnt have to leave so fast ):

Last note to this obscenely long post: GO LISTEN TO THE CALL BY REGINA SPEKTOR !! They used it at the end of Prince Caspian and it was absolutely magical. For some bizarre reason I was so touched by it I went to sleep thinking about it and even woke up with it in my head. Wanted to cry cos it's so darn appropriate for the movie ! HEE.

Universal Studios on Friday !!! :D



I was a little skeptical about it at first, esp being the smallest one opened and having 2 great rides that werent even opened yet, but it turned out pretty good ! Or maybe it's cos I went with a whole bunch of the MEP girls (L) Plus the weather was fantastic !



Lots of laughter and photos and for me, incessant applying of sunscreen ^^ I got a little sick towards the end, must have been all the head-pounding music they blasted throughout the park. Favourite segment of all time is definitely the New York part, everything looked so authentic and pretty !! Ning the lucky cow gets to go there end of the year omg ENVYYYYYYYY. And I really liked the Steven Spielberg show and Monster Rock show too haha. Count Dracula is tre sexy ;)



Rides were just okay though. Too short for my liking :/ I guess best ride goes to The Mummy's Return since I'm a huge roller coaster fan. Plus the queue was like the shortest, so thumbs up for that !

Photos ! (rest on fb) :

oh and Nettey wore contacts for the very first time ! Doesn't she look cute ^^

(yes, I'm back.)

Choir Farewell today. The 2+ hours of partying werent anything to rave about, but the gift/letter exchange at the end was beyong touching. And i just finished reading all the letters from everyone. Ohmygosh seriously, no words can express how touched I am. Surprisingly, the best lettters were from the juniors, and if i see another "You're the greatest/awesomest/best SL ever" I think I'll pinch myself. I have the best juniors ever, without a doubt, and I'm not just referring to sop ones. Really cant believe I have to leave all of this behind. Then again, turns out I dont feel so mortally depressed as I had expected (and prepared myself for). I guess the reason is that I know that choir is and always will be a big part of me and even if I leave, I can't ever let it go. It's comforting to know that I'll always have this with me forever (:

And haha, since you're probably the only person who ever reads this blog, HEY DENISE BIG SHOUTOUT I LOVE YOU !
