Short And (Not) Sweet

I'm so tired and I only have tonight to be online so I won't say much. My entire weekend is completely burnt.

So many things.

I turned down 6 bands this week, all for Blame It On Eve. Hope I do get in...

When I see you all, I don't see a we, I see a me.

Oh, and Sky Sailing sounds a lot like Owl City!

And my new bedsheets make my bed look so...grand. Like from some royal place! But the bolster lloks like some huge candy :S



I guess this is the part where you look at me
And say goodbye

Mosquitoes Shouldn't Exist

Came back from an outfield yesterday, and thank god we came back. I had a major headache, and I was covered with mosquito bites. I had a line of bites across my forehead, and around 30 bites around my left wrist alone. Of course there were more around my body. I swear those mosquitoes are not normal. They can somehow bite through the uniform that I even had bites on my butt. They kamikaze at your face, and the buzzing sound keeps me awake all night. Not even insect repellent works on these starving insects. Seriously, why do they exist?

And I got so many Saturday duties because of the fucking fat ass. Seriously, after NDP I thought I had my weekends again. But now it seems my weekends are only on Sunday from 10am to midnight. No more Monday off because no more NDP either. FML, and fuck him even more.

Brought my bass to camp since I got my new small amplifier! Gotta try to learn how to improv! For the band!!!

Marvel-lous!

I had so many things in mind to blog about that I remembered during dinner, but I've forgotten now.

I do not understand why guys like to hit each other when they bump into each other. Especially me. I don't tend to hit people; they tend to hit me. Seriously, almost all my friends like to give me a punch or hit me when they see me. Not the really painful kind, but the kind enough to let me know they are saying "Yo!" Is it some male communication skill?

Today there was a damn run. A damn 3.75km run. And some major, who probably lost a screw (or his nuts), shouted at me for talking while running. I mean, nobody said it was suppose to be a silent run. And I was encouraging my friend, who somehow was dying after only 500m. That A-hole was like running to beside me (not exactly beside me because I was in the middle of the cohort), and shouting, "YOU BLIND IS IT? I ALREADY SAY NO TALKING! WHAT'S WITH THAT FACE? DON'T GIVE ME THAT FACE." Let me counter his wonderfully structured statement sentence by sentence LOL:

YOU BLIND IS IT? He kept saying no talking for god knows what reason but I didn't actually register. So he asked if I was blind. Blind? Oh yes sir I totally did not see what you just said.

I ALREADY SAY NO TALKING! Ok this dude was shouting at the back, and he was not my officer, so I did not actually bothered when he said no talking.

WHAT'S WITH THAT FACE? I'm not sure what face you saw, but I was feeling puzzled and amused. You try feeling like that and see what face you make!haha

DON'T GIVE ME THAT FACE. I kept my face straight because if I looked at you any longer my face would probably look more screwed. I was not giving you any face. Sir.

Seriously, where does army get all it's people from?

X-men: First Class is going to be out next year! I know it's a long way, but I really want a X-men movie that does not suck like the trilogy. God they were so... dark. And some of the cast are somewhat confirmed!

James McAvoy shall be playing as Professor X! Not sure what movies he's acted in, but he looks really familiar.LOL



Michael Fassbender will be Magneto. He is going to be on the upcoming Jonah Hex, and you guys may have seen him in Inglorious Basterds.


Jennifer Lawrence is Mystique! Not sure why there is a Mystique, but hopefully she wears some clothes. LOL And I got no idea what she acted in.


Alice Eve! I'm sure you guys recognize her! She was in She's Out Of My League! She will be Emma Frost in the movie!


You probably seen Nicholas Hoult in Clash Of The Titans. Well, he will be playing Beast in the movie! Though he looks cool enough to be Iceman to me!


Lucas Till is said to be playing Havoc, who is Cyclops' brother if you people do not know. He was in Hannah Montana's movie. Big deal.


Kevin Bacon, who I remember only from Hollow Man, will play as Sebastian Shaw, black king of the Hellfire Club.

Well, they never spilled the casting for the important people like Cyclops, but we will be waiting! Also, the new Spider-man is Andrew Garfield! Looks like a potential Peter Parker, if you ask me XD



Got to practise my bass! Goodnight all! :D




Time stops like everything around me is frozen,

Pools Ponder

I was leaving camp when I walked past the Singapore Pools just outside my camp. I noticed a huge crowd inside, all waiting to buy their numbers or whatever. And majority are old folks.

I never did see the point of buying Toto of 4D or what name they call it. Sure you think you're paying only a tiny bit once in a while to try your luck. Maybe after your 20 years of fruitless trying you'll sit down, count the amount you spent on this, and realised you could be riding your dream car right now.

And its always the old folks. I think it is probably common enough for it to be considered a hobby for them. All they needed was their retirement cash in one hand and luck on the other.

Another thing about this is how people tend to think the dead can bring fortune to them in 4D. When a relative moves to the other world, everyone grieves. But once the grief is over everyone starts taking down numbers like D.O.D. to use for 4D.

Yesterday I was telling my mom I dreamt of my deceased cousin. She immediately went to take out the orbituary page of him which she kept from the newspaper and started looking for some numbers to bet on. True story.

When I grow old, you won't see me stepping into Singapore Pools. I'll probably be too busy watching classic cartoons or reading Archie Comics.


Love.
Either fall in,
or fake it.

Paint My Love

OMG I love MLTR! Shall go tackle their songs when I'm free! Sure they're old, but their songs are just classic!

Today was spent mostly on playing around with my bass. Got a long list of things to buy! Semi-acoustic, maybe a new bass, new amplifier, picks, etc. Loads of stuff to buy!



Paint my love, you should paint my love
It's the picture of a thousand sunsets
It's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love

You think the

No use for shields
And guns
You'll need them now
That the lump takes a
Home in your throat
With the words that
You're choking
As you try
To tell yourself it's ok
Flying by time to gaze
But never face

Going On The High Key

Wow. Today 3 different bands approached me and asked me to try out for their bands! One is doing J-rock, which I was LOL. They asked me to hear one song they play from D-Gray Man or something.  Another is some really good band but I feel so... not-good-enough for them. But they already have their first EP! And their songs are great! The band is called Ridge!

But of course I'm still waiting for Blame It On Eve because that's the band I really really want to be in right now. Sure trying to learn improv within 2 days is impossible, but I'd rather die trying then to give up here.


I aim to get into the music scene of Singapore. It will be legen-wait for it- dary!

A wound leaves a scar, no matter how small.


It's time we stop admiring their success,
And make our own.

Sunday Kill(ed)

Ok... booked in so early when only needed to be around at noon. Oh well now I'm back home with what's left of my long weekend!

Yesterday was fun! Sure the sky was a bit cloudy at Sentosa but we had a lot of fun playing frisbee and volleyball! Even dunk people into the sea! And the guys kept looking out for hot girls! There were these 3 girls who were jogging along the beach in their bikini, probably just to attract all the guys' attention. My friend tried to ask them to help us take a picture, but she said "I don't want to." straight in his face. LOL

We went to watch Inception after that at Vivo City! Great movie! Fortunately, I was mentally prepared to use my brain cells during the movie, so I did not get lost halfway or anything XD I smuggled in my Carl's Jr lunch in and boy was it satisfying! After a tiring day at Sentosa an awesome meal sure hits the spot.

There was steamboat after that but I was too tired, and wanted to hang out with the CR gang, so I told them I would not attend the steamboat. Met the guys for lan, which was rather shitty mostly because while playing halfway I received an SMS telling me I had to book in that night. Ultimate mood killer. What made me more infuriated was that I could not do anything about it.

Oh and that morning I was rushing because I woke up late. I totally forgot my breakfast and brushing my teeth. So when I went Vivo City the first thing I did was buy a toothbrush and toothpaste and go to the toilet to brush! And I saw this mother and daughter, dressed to play some sport (tennis?) at a taxi stand and they were standing there chewing some sweet or something. What was hilarious is their facial expression. They had a look saying, "We are gonna own you guys." Probably preparing to intimidate their opponents later.

Shall start practising and learning how to improvise!

Best decision I've made :)



Manage me, I'm a mess.

I Hate NS So Bad Right Now...

Because I need to book in tonight when I am suppose to book in on Tuesday night. Can you imagine how irritating and frustrating it is to suddenly, at 7+ pm, receive a SMS saying to book in by tomorrow morning? I heard it'll take only half day and by lunch time we can book out. Thanks a-f***ing-lot for screwing up my long weekend, NS. Seriously. I really need these 2 days off. I'm a 7-months-old bassist and I need to learn how to improvise, which took others years of experience to learn, within 2 days. And NS has to f*** it all up for me.


I'm so pissed that I'll blog my otherwise awesome day another time.

It's The Lil' Things That Count

NDP was... more tolerable than usual. My contingent moved fast, we were on time, and the crowd goes wild! The crowds were huge! I think some photographer took a photo of me leaning on the pillar just now O.O Lunch was Pizza Hut, but the food was cold. Note to self: cold chicken wings are not nice! But Nicholas seemed to enjoy it and asked for extras LOL

For once we were leaving early at 8:30pm! But just as we went down to the pick up point we were told our buses were sent to pick the primary school kids instead of us at last minute because their buses were lost somewhere. Sure at first I felt angry, wondering why Life kick you in the nuts when least expected. Then I realised it was okay. I rather be in that situation then going home while all these young kids wait till God-knows-what time for their buses. By then what time will they reach home? Their parents would worry, and these kids need to rest after an exhilarating day of NDP. I'm glad they got home according to schedule at least. The one hour wait was worth it. Because today I was watching the NDP from one side, thinking that NDP was stupid and lame and whatever. But I saw these young kids cheering and enjoying themselves. It hit me that I actually envied them. I learnt from them to enjoy the little things. Sure NDP is hell, where I get f***ed from all directions, but in the end it's worth the crap. Seeing their excited faces as the planes flew by, their happiness through the NDP, I wondered where that kind of happiness was in me. That's why I want to work at a daycare or something like the camp Jeff and Kenny did in Interact Club after I ORD. To find the innocence I've lost through growing up.

Tomorrow, Sentosa + Inception + Steamboat(?)! Awesome!


One kid's smile 
can make all the trouble
feel worth going through.

When It Rain It Pours

What a start to another NDP day! It rained ao heavily this morning the road outside my place was flooded! Means cannot take bus to Kembagnan MRT; had to walk to Eunos MRT station in the rain. My jeans are totally soaked, and so are my shoes :/

Let's just get today's rehearsal over and done with!

All the other bassists are so... pro. How do I stand a chance? :x But I'd be over the moon if I get in!!!!!! Oh please please let me be chosen!

But he talks like a gentleman.

~ The Killers - When You Were Young

Explanation Time

Edited because it's not meant to gun CR down or anyone in particular.

Because we were having too much fun yesterday, I did not bother to talk about the band thing. But now I shall. CR if you want to know everything, I'll talk to you personally. Alone. Because I will not say it all here, and some stuff I left out here are actually quite important too.

Ok first and foremost I apologise for not telling you guys about me auditioning. I only wanted to tell you guys once I got into a band. I felt that even if I told you guys first, but fail the auditions, won't it be wierd? Like how the guy in She's Out Of My League finally said what he wanted to day to the people on the plane and realise he cannot leave the plane. But you guys did the same thing to me with the back up bass thing, you know?

About the back up bass: you could have discussed with me first. But since I didn't tell you guys about the auditions, we're even on that. What's worse, you simply chose some guy you know. No try outs or anything. Best part? I found out who your so-called bassist is, and he know nuts about bass. If he was some guy with bass experience, it would not be so bad. And you said is so that I don't need to play songs I don't like. It's not the songs that I don't like, I realised. It's the band. So imagine right now I do not actually enjoy any songs we play, does that mean he'll play everything? I'll talk about that more further down. Thing is, have you considered solving that problem by trying to make me like the songs first, instead of adding another guy into the band? As in, solve the problem within before getting help from without?

Lastly, why I quit the band. Before you go further, ask yourself: what is a band? How do you define it and what do you expect the band to be? I tell you what a band is to me. A band is a group of friends who can just meet up, sit down and start bonding through music. A band have fun playing music together, and they do not have back ups. What band has back up? We are not a percussion band CR, so there is no back up. I thought the band felt special to me because hey, I'm the bassist of our band. But you want a back up. A band is like a family. You cannot just get back ups. I don't believe a band should be covering for each other. No successful band works that way. But you do this "cover for each other" which I don't feel is how a band should be. Because we never have full strength, you think that works. Sure, in the short run we make some music, but where is the chemistry?

Remember that discussion we had about the band? Personally, I think in the end it was futile because I see no changes. One good example is the songs. We agreed it'd be pop and rock, but the way I see it, we, I mean tou guys, are going acoustic. Sure you say it's for wedding gigs, but playing solely acoustic? That's what I see right now. Every song you guys are going to play soon are acoustic. And all those new songs, you guys did not even discuss. Just suddenly decided to play these songs. You guys don't even ask for my opinion. CR you should see next paragraph. Do you know what I feel? I don't feel like a band member; I feel like an instrument just to help make your music sound complete. And you guys are spamming songs too fast, do you realise we are not good at any song at all? So sure we have a list of songs we can play, but that is not progress. Sorry to be the bad guy here, but we barely went anywhere. Till today, after a year as a band, we still cannot be 100% confident of our Love Story. Progress is not measured by how many songs we accomplished as individuals, but how much chemistry the band has and their skills.

Remember I mentioned that the band would affect friendships? Well, this is where I told you so. I can be very out spoken and say this last point, but I know better. Holding it in is not because I'm soft spoken or scared, but because I put into consideration our friendships and feelings. All I shall say to CR for this last point is: lead like a leader. I looked up to you to be the one to make the right decisions for the band and make sure things work out. You said you would handle music, so I agreed to leave it to you because I knew you could handle it. But you just do not seem to be taking charge at all. Certain things are so obvious. And as a band member I deserve to think for myself. I won't just learn what you guys tell me to play just with a snap of your fingers. Why I don't go for jamming? Simple. I don't enjoy it anymore. How much do each of you actually enjoy our jamming sessions, honestly? If you guys continue this path and not bother trying to understand all I said, then so be it. Sure we may know how to make music, but do we know how to do it as a band?

I'm not saying I'm entirely right but all I said is based on my perspective and observations. I know what I really want in a band. You guys should think through carefully too. Sorry if all these sounds harsh, but I'm being honest. I may not be "treading lightly", but its because I believe we are friends long enough to let this band thing screw up what we build since Toilet Kurau secondary.

Guys, if after my explanation you guys want to counter, tell me face-to-face. Don't write in my cbox or something. Tell me personally so that I can explain my rationale. Peace :D And all the best to your band!

PS: CR sorry if it sounded like a personal attack, I've edited to make it less offensive, yet still trying to send my message across. I didn't expect it to sound so much like one, so forgive me. And I didn't discuss with you on Friday because I want a one-to-one conversation not only to tell you all these, but to tell you more of our band's flaws. Thanks Kenny for pointing it out.



I never wanted to believe
That you could lie, that friends deceive

Singlets Are Not Meant For Malls

Today went to gym in the afternoon with Kenny! Then he asked me to tag along to Shaw Towers to pay for our planned paintball thing. And I did not bring anything except my gym towel, wallet and handphone. So I went there in my gym attire, which was so... out of place. LOL

We played lan at night with CR and Jeff, and chatted at Macs after that.

Tired!

Tomorrow is another NDP day :/

Now, more than ever, I see things clearer.

I really pray I do get chosen...

Army Is

Seriously, army is nuts. On Tuesday I went to see the MO because I was sick, but the doctor gave me so many medications and no status. When I went back my BC insisted I get something, so I had to go back and asked for my status. Turns out I was suppose to be on Att C, means I was suppose to go home. Why? Probably the doctor thought I was malingering. I do not see how having flu is malingering -.-

Best was yesterday. I could book out yesterday, but my friends and I decided to play MGS versus on PSP, which was damn fun! We were laughing our asses off trying to kill each other. Anyway, I booked out only at 9 plus, and as I was on the way down to the office to sign the book out book, my warrant officer sms-ed me and said "Why book out nvr sign the book? 3 extra." WTH. So I replied, "Haven't book out yet." Thinking he is so smart, the doofus asked why and where I was. So I said, "I was playing PSP with ___, ____ and _____ in their bunk." Moron.

Gym later! Got to exercise a bit for this Sunday!

Feel like doing bass covers and putting them up. Also, I want to start doing Automatic Loveletter's songs!

Loooong weekend from today till Tuesday! Awesome!!!

Local Disgrace

I probably have complained about the behaviour of Singaporeans in a post long time ago, but today just made me want to bring it up again.

I was taking the MRT train from my camp area to Choa Chu Kang and it was crowded. It's the time that people are going to work, I understand. So the train is crowded, sure. I face this whenever I head to town on weekends. What infuriates me is when people just squeeze in when there's obviously no space. What's wrong with waiting for the next train? " I'll be late." Then leave your house earlier. That's the problem with Singaporeans. They do not try to change to resolve such issues. They just complain to the government and just care about their own problem.

It was so bad that one idiot squeezed in by pushing the people further in. It's like fitting more tuna into a full can. And this guy placed his hand on god knows which pole that his armpit was in my face. As in so close I could no longer see my PSP. fortunately there was only one more station.

At Choa Chu Kang MRT station it gets better. The people just slowly push their way through the doors while we were trying to exit. Seriously, they think squeezing in slowly will make me not notice them or something. They were probably thinking " Ok I budge in nice and slow and then they would not mind or even notice!" Wow Singaporeans have you no f***ing shame?

Who the hell thought of NDP rehearsal being so early? Obviously they didn't give a thought about us. Knuckleheads.

And to end of this anger-relieving post, I hate those useless assholes. Nobody pisses me off like they do.

Couldn't You Goal Earlier?

Yesterday was watching World Cup finals! But the night started with karaoke! Because CR and Rosh could not make it, leaving just Kenny, Jeff and I, we cut down the session from 3 hours to 2. Another reason why we cut short was because of the chicken that the guys wanted to buy at Cold Storage just before it closes because it would be at half price. Our microphones were so loud that I realised I could hear them from the entrance. Means a lot of people must have heard us singing O_O

After picking our chicken and Nic, we went to Kenny's house for World Cup. But because we had so many hours to kill we decided to watch Zombieland. Because it's my second time, I kind of got over the gore and blood the movie has, and was laughing instead. The fact that I was laughing when it was not a funny scene made me laugh harder. I'm not sure why. And the fact that the guys were wondering why I was laughing at all the gore only made me laugh even harder. Nic went to skype with Shu Ning instead of watching Zombieland. Don't blame the guy; I'd do the same with my girl if I were in his shoes. Note to self: get webcam when I get a girl LOL Anyway after that movie we decided to watch something..."light" and we ended up watching Russell Peters! OMG that guy never fails to tickle the funny bone with his racists jokes and imitations!

Soccer was funny! Nic kept shouting "Goal!" and Jeff would look away from his laptop. And Nic was waiting for half time to cook the maggi mee. Actually more like make Jeff and Kenny cook it because he was lying on the foldable bed. I was quite impressed with the fair play at one point, where Spain wanted to pass the ball to their goalkeeper but ended up giving Holland a corner kick. But Holland was kind and passed the ball to Spain's keeper (Y) I was so tired I closed my eyes after full time, and when I woke up the extra time was over T_T In other words I watched the whole match to see some goals but saw none, then when I slept they score. *&#%@!

And I was really sick yesterday. Even had nose bleed. Sigh...

Book in tonight. Mood killer.



Say goodnight our first goodbye

Tammy must have felt that way when her... stuff were leaked. I know I'm exaggerating my case but it's something like that.LOL There's only one picture I really love, which is this:






















Tomorrow shall be a fun day! Singing! Soccer! Actually I'll replace soccer with sleep :D

Stupid internet. Now have to re-type this post....

Nothing planned for tonight...boringgggggggg.

I plan to try out songs from Click Five and Muse this weekend! Especially "Neutron Star Collision"! And more Hey Monday songs.

I'm suppose to go Choa Chu Kang at 8am tomorrow? NDP is seriously ridiculous...

Want to go karaoke soon! Need to practise my singing.

I've got the jitters... :/

Selena Gomez is only 18 and look at her in her new music video for "Round & Round"! The song is awesome!

And there's Jo Kwon's new song The Day Of Confessing My Love! It's really good too! I heard that it is a big hit!

I'm A Nervous Wreck

I am so nervous... I've never taken things so seriously before. But it means a lot to me, and I'm going to try my best. If I do succeed, I'll be glad! If not... I'll see where I head from there I guess. I've been running those songs over and over again, yet I don't feel a tad more confident :(

What did I do the past few days? Hmmm... Not too sure myself. A lot of nothing I guess! But I do have a busy week next week.

Funny. They insist that we take off until we left 10 days or less, or else they would minus my off. Why can I not save my off? So I booked out today, and book in Monday night. And I'm taking Friday off. For what? I don't know myself. LOL

Today was the soccer. I'm not a fan of soccer, especially playing with world cup fanatics. And the buses were late meaning we had no time for breakfast upon arriving. They should let us book out last night! Oh well...

Maybe I'll go collect my modelling portfolio tomorrow. Stop procrastinating. And my driving theory test!

It pains me to see time just pass like that...

Music Is Addiction

I just realised I cannot live one day without whipping out my iPod Touch and playing music, even if I do not actually listen to it. I shall go create a group on that on Facebook soon! And I normally create a playlist consisting of the songs I really like, since there are a lot of songs in my iPod Touch. When you suddenly choose to play all songs in your iPod Touch, you will hear songs that you probaby never hear before, or songs that make you go " Oh this song! I remember this song!"

Today duty spent on watching movies. Guess Who, Valentines' Day, How To Train Your Dragon... I want to watch Iron Man 2 later! This is not duty; it's a movie marathon! LOL

I've been repeating Hey Monday's Homecoming on my iPod whole day, running my tabs in my head over and over. I've never been so serious about music, but it feels good!

Sounds like I'm booking out on Wednesday this week :DDDDD

On Saturday during NDP there was this snack from KFC, and people were taking extras and putting in plastic bags to bring home. Disgusting. This is the ugly side of human nature :/

Finger Technique

I'm getting the hang of the finger technique for bass! Shall try doing that for the songs I know. Heard the band next door playing songs from Muse and Blur, sound so cool! Wish I could join them... really miss BOW right now. Wish they'd ask me to hang out again... Bought a new cable because my old one is faulty. And no small amplifier for bass :(


Duty tomorrow. Damn...

"Hello Everybody!"

OMG CR and I kept spamming Barbarella's "Hello everybody!" and other noose stuff yesterday! But let me start from the top...

NDP was wet wet wet. Really dampen the mood until the crowd at NDP was so quiet...LOL But lunch was good! KFC! Took 2 boxes. Greedy me :D And I was so exhausted I hid somewhere to sleep, so did Nicholas. After talking about him and Shu Ning, I realised that their long distance relationship may actually work, contrary to belief that LDR is lost cause. Because they are so... bonded that they probably cannot find another person who could reproduce such emotions and connections with them. *Salute*

Anyway CR went NDP with his classmate Liu Jun, so I got to meet up with them after NDP. But NDP was rather disappointing. The fireworks were pathetic! And the rain... my socks were totally wet, and my feet were no better. I was so exhausted, and felt like going home to sleep. After meeting the two, we went to McDonald's to grab a bite (I just ate a vanilla cone :) ). There was this lady who was eating her cone and kept staring at us. We talked cock for quite some time before going to Eunos. I went home first to change while they met the guys at Siglap to watch soccer.

Seriously, why are people crazy over soccer? I mean, I'm not against soccer or anything, do not get me wrong. I'm just confused at how people are into watching soccer. Sure I may be interested for a few minutes but I stop watching soon enough. Oh well, it's like how I like other things that people don't.

I went Siglap to find CR and Liu Jun at Cheesecake Cafe, and I decided to hand out with them instead of watching men chasing balls. Had an Oreo cheesecake when I was not hungry or a big fan of cheesecake. Just bought it for no reason....wow typing all these is tiring think I'll just cut short everything.

Did not watch the 2:30am match in the end and we all slept at Kenny's house and today is jamming.

XD




It's not always rainbows and butterflies,
It's compromise that moves us along.
My heart is full and my door's always open,
You can come anytime you want.

iSpotted Again

Looooooong time since I've blogged, no? It was like, a few days already, yes? So I'll blog now while on the train from my place to Choa Chu Kang, no? LOL

Well, the reason why I did not blog is because the past few days were spent mostly on... Resting my eyes. So I waited until I have enough to talk about before blogging. The week was rather uneventful, except for us taking 45mins to prepare for phototaking which took less than a minute. Because we got "Best Unit". My friend was saying we kept getting it because no other unit bothers to fight for this award LOL There was some event on Thursday but I only took the door gift and left. They gave some Philips headphones but I gave it to my friend. I've already got a $100 one of a way better brand. Two is not always better than one, Taylor Swift.

Yesterday hung out at Esplanade! Really cool! So glad I agreed to hang out with them instead of chickening out. Hope they ask me out again!

But I reached the meeting point, City Hall MRT, half hour early and decided to visit Topman. Nearly bought a $188 jacket but decided to wait. And wanted to buy a top but only had XS-size left T_T I did buy a pair of red shoes in the end, that cost $45?Did not actually know the price until I paid for it.

Anyway I waited at the station for quite some time because they were kind of late, and I spent my time checking out the fashion of other people walking by. Then there was this fat couple arguing behind me. Actually the guy was doing moat of the talking, asking the gal why she keep running away or something in chinese. I was looking for toilet when this lady stopped me and started talking in chinese. At first I thought she wanted to ask for directions. But then she gave me this contact card, and turns out to be a modelling agency. Best part? It was iModels, the same company that approached me last year! LOL But I still gave my contact anyway because I was too stunned.

Karaoke at night was fun! Sang till our voices gone, and I had a splitting headache that night. Could be the cat food though...

And damn you taxis! So hard to find any taxis yesterday to go Marine Parade to find CR! #*¥@$!





We'll take control of the world,
Like it's all we have to hold on to,
And we'll be a dream.
