987 Top 100 Countdown 2008

I must say that I'm honoured to know practically... well, 70 percent of the songs in the charts. how cool is that?! WOOHOO!!!!!!

Okay, calm down... deep breath... Despite a few surprises, the whole show went on pretty well. i think the heaviest disappointment for all the songs was... lemme see lemme see... well, there are quite a few actually:

Tattoo by Jordin Spark. (#64) O.O
Forever by Chris Brown (#44)
Gimme More by the Legendary Ms. Britney Spears (#43) I seriously thought she could do better than that....
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis (#11) I thought she was going to make it to the top 5. Oh well...
Just Dance by lady Gaga (Totally not on the charts... I wonder why...)
Womanizer by Britney Spears (Didn't debut AT ALL)
Love Story by Taylor Swift (And again, a miss)
So What by Pink (Didn't hear it at all)
Hot N Cold by Katie Perry (I can't find it in the list I recorded...)
Save You by Simple Plan (A miss... well, understandable since it was new on radio... But hey, it was released on August, with the video on October!!!! Or so Wikipedia says...)

Anyways, all these are just based on my opinion. No offence meant. You might be thinking like, 'what the hell?! Britney doesn't even deserve to be on the charts' and stuff. I hate to say this, but face it, her songs (despite her nude and censored videos) are actually nice. For me, that is. In music, I don't think we should not listen to nice songs and let our opinion of the song get tarnished before you even get to listen to it just because the singer's reputation isn't very good and stuff.


Keeping an open mind is what's important...



Anyways, enough of all the Britney politics, I congratulate One Republic's 'Apologize' for the being the Top Song of the Year. Well, in Singapore that is. Following 'Apologize' ('It's too late to apologize' somehow is a bit too sadistic to end year 2008 don't you think?) is 'Low' by Flo Rida ft. T-Pain (overplayed everywhere), followed by Take a Bow by Rihanna.





Now that we're done with the charts, let's get on with good ol' 09. It's the 'mooooo' year!!!! Wowzers... how time flies... Pretty soon enough, we'll all be old hags rotting at home knitting gloves everyday.

lol. Just kidding.


Happy 2009 people!!! May all your wishes come true and the Global Recession to end soon!

Goodynight!

A Day Away from 2009

Yo peeps, it's the last day of the year 2008. -wipes fake tear off face-

The PMR result slips were handed out yesterday. Cousin Sze May got straight A's (smartass, CONGRATS!!! XD) as predicted, and I bet our seniors were all jumpy and almost had nervous breakdowns when they were a step away from taking their results.

Sigh, next year, it'll be our turn. So, I'll just shut up for now.

If only I could find the answer to take it all away... -Save You by Simple Plan.

Ahh, such soothing music.... It's an awesome song!!! I found it when I visited the 98.7 FM homepage to check out the Top 20.


Speaking of which, the 987 Top 100 countdown is today (well, duh)!!!!!! 12 noon to 10 pm. I'm not gonna miss it!!!!





Happy New Year's Eve people!!!

Boxing Day

It's Boxing Day today, where are the presents?


lol. Nah, I don't need presents, I already have 'em; the happiest moments of my life. :)


Gawd, I sounded so corny there. Ewww...

But anyways, I spent my Boxing Day by assorting those clothes my cousins gave us (I just threw most of the shirts aside; I'm VERY VERY picky when it comes to clothes), tidying my closet (new clothes!! YAY!), surfin' the net (like always) and playing Wii.

Hahahahahhahaha.....



I suck at it. A few dance moves like the Point move and I'm all sweaty and knocked out.

But still, I did get nice scores when I played. -innocent grin-

Come to think of it, the moves are like those exercise moves you see on TV where all the hot blondes demonstrate on the Exercise Channel. o.o

Speaking of hotties, Natsume's mom is REALLy one. Okay, I did see her make some cameo appearances (once or twice I think) on the cover of the Hana to Yume magazines, but I couldn't get a close-up. But now that I've visited Sorasan's LJ, wow. Igarashi Kaoru... Sounds a bit weird for Natsume's mom, but still a nice name I suppose. XD


(I know I sounded lame there. My apologies. )


Anyways, it has been a long day. I'd better get some sleep now. Toodles.

Christmas

I think this year's Christmas is one of my most 'special' Christmas' throughtout my lifetime. Throughout this whole special occasion, my family (plus my grandma and my cousin) were all stuck in the car travelling back to Johore from Penang. Ain't it cool?

The trip to Penang was quite okay, despite the rocky start. Stuffed our faces wth food, gained weight, became lazy, took naps during those hot afternoons, went to the big G (Plaza Gurney) three days in a row just wandering around shopping, swore to hit the gym when we got back yadda yadda yadda. Yeah, basically, that's what we did.

Okay, there's a lot more stuff we did but I'm too lazy to blog it all. Don't know why but I'm always feeling sluggish lately.

On a brighter note, I bought FOUR Sarah Dessen books from Borders at Queensbay. YESH!!!!! Screw the reading list I made previously, I'm reading the whole set of books I bought. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

And there's no MRC training tomorrow..... -big grin on face-

But there's still tuition. Argh. And school books to buy. Damn.

Anyways, I have to review every single story I missed these few days, which is A LOT. Ish... And I need to wrap those new books and arrage them nicely on the bookshelf. SIGH.

Oh yeah, and erm, Merry Christmas everyone. :)

100th post: Comic Fiesta 2008 & Penang

Should have been in Sunway Pyramid going to the Comic Fiesta 2008 but I'm not. Should have been browsing through loveariddle's or kidchan's marvellous works (I think they're there...) but I'm not.

Instead, I'm in Penang, eating all the local food in the world and shopping for New year's clothes. Saw 3 shirts I really liked at the sports shop in plaza Gurney earlier on. I didn't buy the hoodie as it was too expensive, didn't buy another shirt I liked as it was too big, but I did buy the dark blue one, despite the fact that my mum and my cousin ignored my protests of the shirt being too fitting. This women's shirts these days are really hugging your body until you can't breathe.

Anywyas, shall elaborate when I get back to Johore. Toodles.

Detective Conan the Movie 12: Full Score of Fear

Music is a way humans connect to God. You should sing as if you were praying sincerely to God. -Doumoto Kazuki, Detective Conan the Movie 12: Full Score of Fear

The movie spells A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

I recommend it to all music lovers and the choir people the whole wide world. After listening to all the songs in the movie (well, I did get the chilly feeling at the beginning), particularly Amazing Grace, I felt myself just staring at the computer screen (yes, I use my PC for DVD purposes instead of the TV) in awe. I felt absolutely relaxed at the sound of the music.


Amazing Grace is a song of forgiveness. -Akiba Reiko, Detective Conan the Movie 12: Full Score of Fear


That's it, I shall download that song now and listen to it whenever I'm angry. :)




Going to Penang tomorrow with my grandma and cousin, and I won't be able to attend the Comic Fiesta 2008 at Sunway Pyramid for the next two days... T.T Sacrificed that chance for this trip to be able to go to Penang to see our relatives and eat Penang food again. But it was worth it in the end.





P.S: If I have quoted any of the quotes above wrongly in any way, please excuse me and point them out to me. Thanks.

Early to Rise

Holy shoot.

It's seven in the morning, and the sky is as bright as a half-past-seven sky.

Woke up at four after hearing some siren blare (I think it was the house behind us), and I slept at eleven yesterday. Well, yester-'night' to be exact. And up until now I've been reading Zutara (Zuko/Katara) fanfics to pass time.

Not sure why I'm blogging this, but meh.






I missed sunrise, ish........




7.30 AM edit: Okay, I didn't miss sunrise. I'm seeing it right now. Yay.

Lesson of the day

I think my parents are now smart enough not to let me keep anothing that's important i.e I/C, student card etc as I almost lost all the above mentioned, but lucky for me, I have managed to find them lurking around under my drawer and in a dictionary. Yes folks, you heard it, in a freaking dictionary, the one I always use.

What am I, insasne or something?! Was I trying to use my I/C as a friggin bookmark?! My poor nerves!!! (XD, Mrs. Bennet)

But ah well, GOOD NEWS!!!!! I'VE FOUND MY IPOD!!!!!!!!!! AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS OF MIA!!!!!!!! DEAREST IPOD HAS COME TO MAMA!!!!!!! LOL. But my iPod earphones are damaged as mentioned in one of my previous posts... -.-

I'm starting my Operation Clean Up Study Room plan, doesn't it sound exciting?! Ha-ha, as if. I'm so tired now that you give me a pillow and I'll drop dead instantly. *insert disbelief look from readers* Yet, here I am, blogging (more like ranting) my life off, making it known to the public.... not that I'm some kind of celebrity or whatsoever.


SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. God I need it. (I make it sound as if I'm drug-deprived. XP)




I don't think my plan will go smoothly like how it was planned though, I'm having art classes tomorrow for the whole day...... Tsk.


But on a brighter side, I've found my iPod (second time saying that)!!!! And I bought the Avatar series and the DC 12th movie!!!! YESH!!!!!!!!!

Random stuff squished together with ducktape to produce a post

These few days have been very interesting and productive for me. First we had camp, and then mum surprised sis and me both with new handphones (I objected to it at first, as I'd rather save the money for my uni or buying manga and stuff; but after a while, I became quite okay)

My new phone. Yay.

Somehow, I managed to revive my interest for Detective Conan again. Not to mention that the 12th movie is out in stores now!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG!!!! And a trailer for the next movie!!! Which, is rumoured to be the last... Is the DC series coming to an end?! (though I see that the manga's current arc has no connections or whatsoever to a logical ending) Ah well, I just hope Gosho Aoyama-sensei makes an announcement regarding this matter asap.





I watched the BBC adaption of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I must say, it was awesome! Collin Firth is definitely the best actor for Mr. Darcy, but I find Jennifer Ehle a bit too soft for Lizzy. They should have found an actress with a sharper expression. But I liked the way Mr Darcy looks at Lizzy all the time, he just has those eyes. I'm not making sense... -.-





But the mini tele-series did make me interested to read the book again (I abandonned it halfway reading through a few months ago). Speaking of which, I think I totally neglected my reading list. *gulps*





YES!!!! I don't have to go to tomorrow's training!!!! For that I have tuition replacement classes that are not to be missed!!!! I'm learning how to use charcoal to draw now, it's really interesting.








Sadly, my mum's really undecided on whether or not to visit my relatives in Penang. I don't know what's got into her but for a moment she says she's going and for the next she says the total opposite. Weird, isn't it? I miss Penang...





Oh well, I'm off to face the tortures of cleaning my drawers now... Until then, toodles.

Home at last.

I'm finally back from the YHC in Raub. It was... okay I guess. I saw a few of my fellow Convent students there, like Nicolette, Li Chin, Eunice, Chien Yin, Sue Anne and co. I went for like, five days. And on the last day we Johoreans sat the train home. THe train to KL was late, but the train back Johore was punctual, and we arrived early at five something in the morning today!!!! YAY!!!!



Not to mention the fact that I was away from my PC for SIX friggin' days. XD Quite a feat, don't you think? Ever since the mid-year holidays or the August holidays I had been in front of my PC every day.



The first day of the camp totally sucked. We were given camp briefings, team categorizations, leader votings, yadda yadda yadda. then we played some games like tug of war and water bomb. At the end of the day, I guess homesick got the better of me and I almost started crying in my dorm. Blargh.



The second day was really fun. We went for the high ropes, flying fox and absailing before going for canoeing in the lake. (Too lazy to blog everything so I'll just summarize it all).



The 3rd day was the worst, and arguably the most hectic throughout this whole camp. First, we went for the Obstacle course where our teamwork is being put to the test. The hardest one of all was the 3.0 m wall. All of us in our team had to climb up with the help of our teammates. Something quite embarassing happened there. coughcoughCKcoughcough (The G3 people should know about this. XD)



And then, jungle trekking. The part I hated most. Well, I wouldn't call it 'jungle trekking' as all we did was climbing steep slopes up the mountain in a thick forest so yeah. And that night was the night I slept a bit deeper than the rest of the nights in camp. For the other nights, I was in the state where even one tiny sound was heard and I would bolt up from my bed. Cheers to the bed bugs in my bed for such tiring actions.



The fourth day (second last day), we had kite-making (and we didn't even get to fly it) and talenttime practicing. Kite-making was -yawns- boring, and talenttime practice was sweetly horrible. I'm even surprised how our Pink team got the first place!!! (PINK PRIDE PEOPLE!!! -shows pinky finger in the air-)



I did dancing for the Talenttime with Maggie (Convent senior), Serene, KLSissy's (Ken Long, one of our famous team leaders) lil' bro (I think his name was Kit Long or something) and two moe annoying boys younger than us. The funniest part in the talentime show for our team was the Poem Recital. I think KLSissy wrote it. It's about milking a cow, and we had two guys making funny movements as the other 3 guys recited it. XD



Lilac (Sis)'s team did a Snow White crossover play, with a really EEEEVVIIIIL twist. The guy who played Snow White was so damn funny!!!!! And in the end, the prince (Yuyi) and the evil queen got married (fictional). =.=



Turqoise (Shu Ling, Chien Yin & Eunice) team did a play on some daily life thingy. The play was also a comedy with another sissy. It really sounds as if this camp had a lot of sissies. Hmmm...



As for Saffron (Chu Hsien) team, they did another American-Idol style (like ours, just that ours has a variety of show like Taekwando and stuff while theirs just had dancing) play. Chu Hsien and Eunice's sister were two of the judges. They were absolutely hilarious!!!!



And then, the peak of our entire camp; THE DISCO PARTY!!!!!! Gawd, now I don't need to go clubbing for the rest of eternity. Instructor Mark was playing all the hot songs and EVERYONE, including the kiddies were jumping about and shouting. But when they announced that the people who wanted to go back could return to their dorms, I chickened out immediately. I'm not really a night-disco-clubbing party girl or whatever you call it I suppose. but in the end, I had to stay back in the hall cuz NO ONE in G3 (the kids above 14 years old) even cared about the announcement. =.=






Did I mention someone even stripped off his shirt in the middle of the crowd? Gross... coughcoughCKcoughcough.



Anyways, we had camp debriefing on the next (which was the last) day and then the instructors announced the winners for all sorts of prizes!!! PINK WON!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! (PINK PRIDE!!!! -shows pinky finger) But don't be sad Poh Ping, I still think we did a very good job on the flag!!!!! After that, we boarded on the bus after lunch and said our final goodbyes. Sigh....


I made lots of new friends in the camp, and got to know more about my schoolmates in the camp too. I'll miss them for sure........
