I've been going to ktv so often till I ran out of songs to sing already!! ARGH!!! haha.. with who?? the same gang lah... stan & co, ed & jac, doug & mic and me!!

It's becoming a routine to go ktv at cuppage and take up 3 out of 5 tables at the hall. We have been going so often till the people there already recognises us!!! This is crazy man! But its fun!

I'll be doing it soonz again, i hope!

It was stanley's brother, edmund's birthday so we went down to his 'party' at a pub along mosque street. The pub was called WHITE HOUSE, and it was really white inside out. How appropriate....

Edmund has lotsa friends! Almost everyone in the pub came for his birthday.. cool! There were at least 30 of them man! So in the end, the group of us settled down at a table and drank out night away without the birthday boy (he was already high before 12am!) haha.. Its been so long since I last went pubbing and drinking that much. Its fun to do this once in awhile. I miss this kinda feeling... The gang was fun to hang out with of course!

All of them will be heading to genting to watch the finals for Be a Star. I don't have any more leaves after my trip to UK. They keep asking me to go and I wanna go badly! I hope my manager allows me to go.. haha

I did not have to rot for another saturday, instead, I had great fun!!

Its my birthday today and so doug, mic, veron, glenn, shawn, carol and of cos Matt went to dinner at noblehouse yesterday. The dinner is superb just like the last time.

After dinner, we went down to ktv at shenton way, the place where the competition was held. That means, I had been going down to the same place for 3 consecutive days! haha We wanted to book a medium room, but there was no room available and therefore we took the VIP room. As we thought the room will be huge, we called stanley and gang along. But the VIP was not that big after all. In the end, we had almost 16 person all in one ktv room. It was kinda crowded but it was still fun. Shawn started the ktv session with his favourite Aaron's song and the rest joined in the fun! But Shawn and Caroline left early as Shawn wanted to catch the england match.

We were singing at partyworld from 10pm, all the way up to 2am. We still haven't had enough fun and therefore we headed to cineleisure and continued our ktv session. Matt did not join us to cineleisure as he was not feeling too well.

So there were 9 of left who headed to cineleisure! I have broken my own record! I sang ktv for 7 hours! I really cannot believe it!!! Doug, stanley and gang were drinking and playing some stupid games while we watched and laughed.

Its been so long since I had that much fun. How I wished the day not to end....

Douglas did not qualify for the finals and there goes my genting trip. He did very well, but I guess the judges prefer younger people and good lookers. But he's still my idol! haha

Gabriel and Emerlyn both did not qualify too. Kinda sad, becoz all my friends didn't qualify. But still, they were all better than me becoz I did not even get through the auditions.. haiizz Gabriel sang pretty well, its a waste he did not qualify for the finals. He has this natural R&B voice which makes him very unique. He has got the looks and sang with much feelings.

Emerlyn has this really super ultra high voice. She sings stefanie's song plus 3 keys!!! God! She's really superb! But today, her song was disrupted half way as they played the song in the wrong key.

After the competition, we went supper at Mr Bean and chit chat for a while before heading home.

Today is the second semis for the Be A Star competition. I went down after work with my sis and Doug. Stanley and Bess were both in today's semi. Stanley did pretty well, but he kinda forgot his lyrics. As for Bess, I guessed she kinda laughed too much before her appearance and therefore her voice was affected. But overall, I still think she did well as compared to some others who were terrible. HAHA! Its been some time since I last heard Bess sing, and I think she improved quite alot! Way to go!

Doug and my sis were there to watch the competition too, together with some other friends who we got to know through Stanley. They also qualified for the semis will be competing tomorrow night together with Douglas.

Wish them luck!

I wanna thank my dearest smarkies!!

We went for dinner today at White Tangerine. Its a small little cafe located at Hougang. Their baked pasta is the best!! YUMMY! Well, as usual, some were late. I was the earliest this time! haha... aunt snail came after awhile and we went down to the cafe first. We played UNO while waiting for our orders. Its been so long since I last played the game, I almost forgot how to play it! haha

XT,MY and HY came down later. And we spent the night chit-chatting away as usual. I missed those time where we would hang out at the macdonald's so very often and gossip away. Those were the days....

Oh yah, I got an angpow from them too! Thanks smarkies! I will use the $$ to buy either a pair tennis shoes or a new bag as my current bag is getting old.. haha thanks XT for bringing the cake too! Even though I was already very full, I still insist on finishing it cos it was really delicious!

And lastly, thanks to them for the dinner, the cake, the angpow and of cos the company!

For those who were not able to come, its alrite. Thanks for the angpow still!

I treated my family to Macdonald's breakfast this morning!! Yummy! We haven't done that for quite sometime. But I was rather zombie becoz I didn't sleep well last nite and had to wake up at 9.30am. But still, big breakfast was great!

I was supposed to go ktv with doug and gang, but it was cancelled last minute. So I ended up rotting at home again. But this time round, I have something to past my time... HYPER RELAY!! I'm terribly hooked to this online game. It's something like the old arcade game ' BISHI BASHI'. Just that, hyper relay is online and multi-player. I have been watching my cousin play this game and once I tried it, I couldn't stop!! So I played the game from noon till evening.

Matt came over around dinner time. I was too lazy to go out for dinner, so he ended up buying food from downstairs. Charlie's Angel was showing on tv. It's a nice show! If you haven't watch it, go grab the DVD!! Its definitely worthwhile!

Well, it seems like matt can read my mind. I was complaining here about how he doesn't have enough time to accompany me, the next minute he called me and asked me to go dine with him. hehe... happy gal again!

But, he was very late. By the time he reached my place at around 8plus, I have already fallen asleep. He called me, told me he was downstairs, then I slowly made my way down.

We went to a hongkong cafe restaurant for dinner at east coast road with JB and XD. Its been so long since we last met up for dinner. All of us have been busy, I guess. Dinner was great! Maybe I was too hungry.. haha

After dinner, went back home and watched my favourite drama at the moment! I was half an hour late for the show. When I reached home, my mum was already watching it in my room. Guess she also got poisoned... haha

I have been roting at home for 3 consecutive saturdays!! ARGH!! I wanna go out and hav fun but no one's free lah...

Matt's been busy working recently. He hardly have enough time to sleep nowadays. He's been knocking off at 10pm and therefore he doesn't have time for me too. Haiiz.. I'm collecting dust almost everyday...

Three weeks already.. I'm slowly getting used to him not around. First week, I was still throwing tantrums at him for not accompanying me. Now, I don't even bother to call him and ask him to accompany me. I would rather stay at home and rot. This is bad... I'm becoming used to loneliness. Its like being single... cos my bf dun have time for me...

3 saturdays spent at home... boring life... tats me now... lonely and dull... nothing to talk about liao...

I have just given my blog a new look and I'm so proud of it! haha.. hope u like it too. Give some comments okie?

I have also added in a tagboard, duno for what.. maybe just to fill up the space hahaha

I'm happy!

Aunt Snail!!! I wanna kill you for making me get addicted to your favourite drama now.. which is a FULL HOUSE!!

Well, i just finished watching the first 2 episodes on ch 55. Now, I'm craving for the rest of them. I don't know whether I will be able to wait till next sat. I might even have the urge to buy the vcd.

Aunt snail.. thanz...

I'm F**king Angry!!

I'm going to write this in the colour that I hate most to make it clear that I'm really angry!!!

You guys can call me a sore loser or whatever, but I'm still going to blog this no matter wat...

Okie, I signed up for the Be A Star Competition and had my audition last nite. I sang Peggy Hsu's White Wedding which was the song that let me qualify for the Project Superstar's Top 100. Well, but this time round I had to sing with the mtv. Okie, in normal cases, we will not be asked to sing the whole song for auditions. So I only prepare half the song as I can't really hit the high notes at the end of the song.

I was happily singing the first half of the song and was expecting them to ring the bell. But they didnt!! So I had to carry on right through to the bridge of the song and try my best to hit the high notes. I did hit them but wasnt able to hold the one note that was long and high!! After finishing the song, the judge commented.

The guy commented that I chose the wrong song. He was saying that my voice and peggy's voice was very different. So I rebuked saying that 'then i will have my own style'. He nodded and said 'yah, right, but...' What the hell! Am I supposed to sound like the original singer?? Then make it a 'mo fang' singing competition lah! Or might as well listen to the original singer and forget about the whole competition!! If he have commented that I chose the wrong song becoz I couldn't hit the high notes, I would have agreed with him...

Next, he commented on my diction. He said that I didnt pronounced the words clearly. F**K! I have people praising me for my good diction when I sing, not once but many times! He should go dig his ears man! Its either he's deaf or he himself didn't have good diction and so he thought I pronounced them all wrongly! CRAP! He might as well give comments like.. "I think your nostrils are kinda too big.. sorry you dun qualify..." F**K!

CRAP lor.. give better comments and I don't think he's fit to be a judge...

Alrite, I'm done with my complaining.. and learnt my lesson of just preparing half a song for auditions... I duno whether I still wanna join any future competitions after this super bad experience...

No Ktv for the time being..

Congratulations and Celebrations!!

Yes, I know I am really lazy becoz I cant bring my lazy self to blog about my UK trip. But I am already sorting out all my photos and will be posting them up soonz okie?

Okay.

There is 1 congratulation and 2 celebrations!!

Congratulations JB!!! Well, you know what I'm talking about rite?? Haha I'm so happy for you dude! Well done!! You know what? On that fateful 'do or die' day, we were all waiting anxiously for your good news! haha... When u smsed doug 'successful', we toasted for u! haha.. anyway.. Its too bad you 2 didnt get to sing the duet which you guys have put effort into but I do hope ur solo performance will be good enough to qualify for the next round okie? From now onwards, we shall not bother you too much as I know you will wanna spend more time with your new found romance rite? haha.. Take good care of her okie? She's a very nice girl..

Celebrations to Singapore and Aunt Snail!! Yeah HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!! I know I'm 2 days late.. but i will treat this whole month as Singapore's birthday! haha Coincidently it's Aunt Snail birthday (Happy birthday Aunt Snail!!) following our nation's birthday, so we met up for an early birthday celebration and went down to the carnival@marina with matt to watch the count-down concert and, of cos, the FIREWORKS!! (Well, actually JB & XD, my sis and doug with his family were also there but it was impossible to locate them due to the crowd.) The fireworks were so beautiful!! I wish it had gone on forever instead of just 15mins... After the fireworks display, we decided to head out of the crowd and in the end, we got into the going-home-crowd instead! So I gave doug a call and found out that he was enjoying the bowling alley's aircon. So we immediately went to the bowling alley to grab our share of air-con haha It was soooo cooling! Smarkys decided to leave first as they did not wanna miss the last train. So me and matt hanged around for a game of bowling with doug, his sis and bro-in-law. I played badly.. so I do not wanna elaborate that. After bowling, headed home and pigged out..

So 9th August, I woke up at around 2plus, surfed the net for this years NDP theme song, learnt it and headed down to padang. I reach padang at 4plus and began suntanning myself in the hot sun. At around 5pm, the hosts came out to warm up the audience by making us do the 'padang wave', shout, sing, dance even! It was fun! But I didnt enjoy this year's NDP as much as the previous time at the national stadium. Maybe the crowd this year is smaller and therefore the atmosphere's not as high as it was at the stadium. But overall, the NDP was still not bad.

Day 2 : Bath

We woke up at 8am in the morning, packed out stuff and got ready to go for our short UK tour. Abang, shawn's friend, came around to help us in moving Shawn's stuff over to Augustine's place while we tour. Initially, we wanted to tour with our trolley luggages, but Abang gave us a better idea and that was to just stuff as much as we can into out haversack and leave the trolley luggages at his place. That definitely make the trip much easier as we would have less things to carry around. We brought enough clothes to last us till poh's place where we can do some laundry. Abang also lent us his digicam coz Shawn's memory card disappeared even before I was there.

So after taking brunch at his college and leaving out stuff at Abang's place, we set off to the train station to catch a train to Bath. We finally reached Bath at 4.30pm after the 2 hours train ride. We immediately headed to the backpacker's hostel to secure 2 beds for the nite.

It cost us 16pounds each to bunk with 2 other people. There were 2 double-decker beds.

So we took one of them and Shawn had to sleep on the upper deck becos there wasn't any ladder for me to climb up!

After exploring the hostel, we head off to explore the town. Bath is a very beautiful place with all the roman architectures. We wanted to explore the tourist attractions there but unfortunately they were all closed by the time we reached there. We took the city site-seeing bus and travelled round Bath.

We didn't have enuff time to hop on and off the bus as we were already on the very last bus. So we just took the bus back to the place we boarded the bus and decided to look for dinner.

We found a nice and cosy restaurant near our hostel "The Wife of Bath Restaurant". The food was yummy and the servers were really friendly. I felt like I was eating at home.. I realised that I already started to miss my mum's cooking.. After the dinner, we walk around the nearby streets but most of the shops were closing, so we decided to go back to the hostel for shower while waiting for the sun to set so that we could take some night shots.

By 8pm, we were already lying on our beds resting and reading up on the next destination. The sun finally set at around 10.30pm. We were already dozing off by then but we still dragged ourselves off our beds and headed out to take some night shots.

Bath is really beautiful at night with all the lights shining on the roman architectures. But it was really cold, I was almost shivering while taking the photos. We ended the day with 5 night shots after waiting for more than 2 hours for the sun to set. That's the very first time I had to stay up till 10.30pm before the sun sets. Interesting but tiring...

I'm back...

Yeah, i'm finally back here in singapore after spending almost 2 weeks in UK. I have so much to say about the trip, but I definitely don't have enough time now to write everything down. Think I will try to blog them all down tonite.

Yup, I was in London when the bombings happened. I wasn't on any bus or train at that point of time, so I was not affected. I'm still in one perfect piece. For all those who was concerned and smsed me, thanks! I'm alrite...

Still about Day 1 : Dinner was great!

UK TIME : 0746hrs

There was a downpour before we set off to dinner, its not supposed to rain in summer. Think I'm unlucky. The rain lasted for about an hour and we set off to dinner. Yesterday's dinner was good. We ate at cowherds, a traditional restaurant pub. The waitresses were pretty and friendly. We had a starter (tiger prawns in creamy white wine sause), mixed grille and 'hunters' chicken. We had to wait quite awhile for our main dishes though. Lucky, we weren't very hungry.

After dinner, we walked down to the city area and walked around the place. The place is kinda small and quiet. Actually, southampton is seldom have tourists, so while walking around, it looked weird when we started taking photos. haha

We will be moving out of his hostel today. So I will not have internet access internet access until I reach Poh's place on 2nd july.

DAY 1 : I'm in UK!!

This is so exciting!! I survived the 13hr flight! I boarded the plane at 0030hr and it took off at 0040hr as promised. The first one hour or two was kinda fun cos its the first time I'm taking such a long flight. I was reading my Da Vinci Code and watching Robots at the same time. After the show ended, supper was served. The pasta was not fantastic but still edible. Well, you can't expect much from microwaved food. The lights went out at 0400 and I managed to take a three hour nap and was woken up at around 0700hr becoz there was some kinda turbulence. After about 15mins, I dozed off again and woke up at 1030hr. Watch abit of tv and breakfast was served. Microwave food again... By that time, the sun is already up and I managed to see the ground below me. I was at the window seat so I spent the next few hours looking at the scenery below me.

Reach Heathrow at 1345hr which was 0645 london time. The queue at the passport control (custom) was soooo long!!! It took me almost an hour to get my passport 'chopped' before I went over to collect my baggage. Once out of the place, I looked out for Guojun, couldn't see him, called him and he was at the wrong terminal!! So I had to wait another half an hour for him to appear then we caught a 0945hr bus to southampton. The bus trip was almost 2 hours. Reached the city area of southampton and went to look for some food. Bumped into one of his friend Pam and her sis, went to Mark & Spencer's cafe, ate some sandwich and make our way to his hall montefiore.

His room is real small! Even smaller then my bedroom! Well, but I don't think he need a big room anyway. I will be bunking in with him from today till 30th June. I'm taking the bed and his settling with comforter on the floor. Poor Chap.. well, thats too bad.. u can't expect a lady to sleep on the floor...

Slept for about 3hours due to jet lag... now going to Cowherds for dinner...

DOUGLAS WON~!!

Douglas won the singing competition I mentioned earlier on. He got FIRST!! I am soooo happy and proud of him! I think he did great on thursday night and he definitely deserve to win especially after seeing him dance for the fast number! He sang both Jacky Cheung's song and I think he better for the fast song. It was the very first time I saw him dance. He didnt show anyone his dance moves before the competition, not even my sis. WAHAHA he must have practice really hard at home man! WAY TO GO DOUG!!!

6hours spent in the hair saloon...

Yup, I rebonded my hair on sunday!!! Its super straight now and I think I look like a china doll with fake hair haha But it should look more natural after a few washes. I reached the saloon at 12.30pm and left at 6.45pm!!! Imagine sitting in the chair for 6 full hours and only moving a few times to wash my hair. I spent $170 on it and I think its reasonable becoz I really pity the lady rebonding my hair. Its much cheaper than the previous times where I had to pay $200. I am happy with the outcome. Next, I want to colour my hair.

*POH.. any free deal over at your side? Becoz I cannot colour my hair now, I can only do it 2 weeks later. I will be in UK at that time.. haha :P By the way, whats the name of the mag u wanted me to help u buy? I will be going down to TAKA this sunday so I will be able to get it for u.

Shawn have been disappearing from MSN recently. He seems to be really busy packing his stuff and hoping he is planning our trip. He told me that he needed me to buy some things over. I'm still waiting for his email. *SHAWN.. I only have less than 1 week left, so u better be quick!

Sick...

I practically sneezed my whole friday away. I was alright in the morning but once I stepped into the office, my nose started to itch and the sneezing started. I was sneezing so badly until my colleagues nearly wanted to quarantine me haha I managed to hang on till 5.30pm and went back home. Luckily, my colleague gave me a ride home, so I didnt have to sneeze my way home on the bus.

Reached home at around 6.30pm. Popped 2 flu capsules and slept. The pills were great! I managed to sleep my flu away and only woke up at 1am for a toilet break and carried on sleeping again. My phone alarm rang at 7am, when I'm supposed to go to work. But I decided to take the day off and slept till 3pm.

Now, I'm sitting in front of the computer listening to Stefanie's song. I'm feeling very bored. There's nothing on tv and I'm really starving becoz I skipped dinner last nite and breakfast & lunch today. I can't find much things to eat!! Right now, I'm waiting for my dinner and hope its good.

I was supposed to meet my sis yesterday to buy my handphone coz my phoneline is under her name. Now, I'm still thinking whether I wanna go get it today. Wonder where is my sister now...

Going to give her call....
