human nature?

these days i've been reading up on chinese history on wikipedia.
and i found out that most of the concubines or women in the palace, as long as they were in favour, they would have tragic fates.
and to say it bluntly, the ugly ones learn to live their jealousy but i wonder if they knew tht would've made them even uglier.

because Empress Dowager Cixi was not fond of the idea of reformation.
so she didnt want to give much power to those who wanted to reform.
and also felt that as a threat.
other than trying to keep all the power she could.
she was candid.
as she knew that exactly was happening in the palace.
with all the jealousy and desperation of getting more power.
esp. b/w the women, trying to get the favour of the Emperor, or perhaps even Empress Dowager Cixi.
and so, she would sometimes even mock the court ladies, for being so selfish.
but she says that in a very intelligent manner.

but when the Imperial Concubine Zhen that Emperor Guangxu so favoured supported Emperor Guangxu for the reformation, Empress Dowager Cixi got angry. the Imperial Concubine Zhen was sent to jail with her attempts at helping Emperor Guangxu reform and when the eight-nation alliance invaded the Forbidden City, she was hinted to commit suicide before Empress Dowager Cixi, she was even rumoured to be thrown into the well after she begged Empress Dowager Cixi to let the Emperor Guangxu negotiate with foreign powers.

and the other Empress Xiao Zhe Yi, (Jia Shun Empress), where the Emperor Tongzhi favored her and they spent all the time together that Empress Dowager Cixi was unhappy the Emperor Tongzhi didnt care about the other wives and she even hinted that they were young and shud care more about the empire. but the Empress Jia Shun didnt seem to listen and so she stopped the Emperor and Empress from seeing each other that caused the emperor to get really lonely that he went to vist the brothels. which they rumoured caused his death cos he got some disease. and the Empress Dowager Cixi cut the Empress's food supply and her father couldnt even help her and she committed suicide. and the tragedy didnt end just here.
the Empress's father was asked by Empress Dowager Cixi to stay in Beijing to settle state affairs, and her mother (granddaugther of Emperor Jia Qing) and sisters were escorted by force to the temple of heaven where they were gang raped by the several dozens of foreign soldiers. and upon return, the whole family comitted suicide.


or perhaps,
some just wanted power,
some wanted to show they were in power,
flaunted as though they were the only ones right.


like the Imperial Concubine Jin, which the Emperor Guangxu didnt favour, but when Empress Long Yu died and she become the highest ranking woman in the imperial palace, she scolded Emperor Puyi's mother at a public audience for the misconduct of the young Emperor Puyi. this caused Emperor Puyi's mother to commit suicide by swallowing opium. when Emperor Puyi was of age to marry, she even said the other lady of choice was not pretty enough to be the empress and with that she managed to get puyi to marry her choice of the empress.


seriously, i feel that the good people sometimes just dont survive.
perhaps esp. when u are good and pretty.
because you have to be bad and ugly.
and have the ugly heart too.
because u're in a power struggle.
u have to find all ways and means just to get power and favour.

ok. this feels sick.
thank goodness there isnt such stuff happening in the forbidden city anymore.
or dynasties or whatsoever.
but it definitely is still happening in the world.





power struggle? jealousy?

random

i've been thinking
cos sometimes i realise
somethings we do in a folly.
somethings we did cos we were childish.
somethings we never thought it mattered.
but as a matter of fact. it did.
sometimes i felt if i were to do it differently, perhaps it would turn out better
perhaps i wouldnt be feeling guilty or bad about it.
or i wouldnt even be stuck in this suckfest.
but reality is:
time cant go backwards.
nothing can change matters.
the only way out is to look forward.
and forget it all.
wad matters is living life now.
and making sure you wouldnt regret it.
wouldnt regret every single minute or second u're using the time for.
and wouldnt regret any actions u do.
i wonder if i were to count how many things i regret in life.
would it be a whole list?
seriously, i feel like i regret a lot.
perhaps i shud stop regretting.
and make full use of everything.
understand everything better.
and that also everyone has their life to live.
why not live mine to the fullest?
so yes.
i've gotta learn to live my life.
and treasure every minute.
and love myself.
and so.. the indulgence's going to continue!
hahahahaha


i was checking on the internet for princesses of china.
it was seriously random.
and i came upon someone called Princess Der Ling.
i read in wikipedia that she is of manchu origin.
and she lived and was educated in paris.
and served as a first lady-in-waiting for Empress Dowager Cixi.
and she wrote a book on her experience.
called 'Two Years in the Forbidden City'.
seems nice.
and the short notes (i think) from the link at wikipedia shows a lot about the manchu culture and their lives.
it's quite inspiring. and gives loads of room for imagination.
if i could i'd like to find the book.
but it's published in 1911.
i wonder i i'll ever be able to find it.


anyways. these days has been ok.
the home couch potato and emo-ing.
next week's another week to get broke.
but i'm looking forward to it.


loves=) muacks*

but this makes me wonder. there are so many covers and i've been doing this kinda post for so many times.
does that mean that there is a lack of talented people or it's cheaper tht way?
or am i going to hear dozens of the same song just diff person singing and different lyrics?
hmm. tht doesnt sound nice.

deja vu?

yesterday: went to the beach with fel and weichoo.
rained in the morning.
and almost did on our way there.
it was more of a drizzle.
so we decided to sit at mc's and enjoy our v.late lunch.
thn when the rain stopped we sat at the big rock and enjoyed the breeze. the beach was so much more beautiful thn it used to be.
and we we listening to songs and crapping ard.
and what started to be only 8 people on the rock at the 3 different corners..
become to be a gathering of sixteen 2 hours later.
with the additional 4 couples.
and it was crazy when we started seeing some rendevous going on.
and we went visitng the people at ntuc and played pool at the arcade afterwards.
and of course. we seriously crapped a whole lot yesterday.











shadys2 spotted: felicia!















shadys 3 spotted: weichoo!














and the nice sunset. why is there tht circle thingy/








this morning i got a call from granny. saying tht my aunt and cousin got into an accident. thank goodness they're ok.

Renditions
lets get back to the compare and contrast.
seriously i realise i spend loads of time on the computer esp. youtube.
no wonder they're earning big bucks.


Joey Yung容祖兒 -愛情復興 (2006)

the more famous one compared to its original. perhaps more famous to the non korean speaking worlds.




이수영Lee Soo Young (李秀英) - 휠릴리~ (hwil-ril-li) (2004)

the song means 'whistle to me'. is recorded in the album 'the colors of my life' by lee soo young.




Compare!!!

Vocals: Joey yung's. i mean.. i dunno but i feel that lee soo young's voice.. feels. a little harsh. i dont know if it's an effect to portray the song or whatsoever. but i somehow find that joey yung's a little more soothing.
Plot: Lee soo young's. although joey yung's got all the victorian plays and all the v.fantastic backgrounds. but lee so young's mv for this song portrays the storyline better. and hey, she has so much vibe in the storyline. i tot i was watching another winter sonata. so kudos to those who've tot about it.
Costumes: Joey yung's. seriously the costumes dont look cheap. and they are v.sophisicated. and there are at least 3 outfits she wore. and they are seriously v.nice too.
Music and lyrics: i cant say anything. cos music's the same. lyrics. i've got to understand korean.
Originality: Lee soo young's. obviously. cos she is the original singer. and her song came out earlier.


so yeah, they have their pros and cons. but since i'm not a korean speaker. i'm lovin the mv of lee soo young and lovin the song of jeoy yung's.

n'joy.

indulgence

seriously, these few days all that matters is the indulgence.
cos.. when i met fel and aldwin on monday.
it alr started as indulgence.
haha
anyways we went to the esplanade library's practice room.
and made all the crazy noises and the piano fight.
seriously i understand the part of having 2 pianos there but sometimes it does get a little too noisy.
iwonder how those people reading their newspapers feel.
but still. aldwin had some songs and felicia played those.
and i realised there were much more people taking the boats to see the singapore river on this monday as compared to the last mon.
which reminds me that the last time we went to the esplanade was just a week ago.
and boy, time flies.
but still it felt so long.

anyway, we had indulgence yet again.
we had jack's place for lunch.
and although it's a set lunch. it's alr got my pocket burning.
thn it just got worse.
we even bowled.
and lucky for us it was the student price.
and even more arcade.
but STILL>
for a pocket that small and thin and whatsoever.
i see a hole.
and although it isnt as big.
STILL.
STILL.
STILL.
there is a hole.
sighs.

today... met fel and went to simei.
and thn played arcade again.
haha i am reminded of the old days where we could like spend like mad at arcades.
which is no good.
anyways.
we went to visit the people at ntuc.
i miss them loads.
and they're cute!
haha
and had delifrance.
see? all the talk about indulgence.

i mean the entertainment people shud be earning like crazy.
i mean i've gone to kbox at least 2 times last week.
ate good food for many many times.
drank... ermm. ok. tht wasnt too high.
haha
but still.
yes STILL>
it's a lot.


sighs
i'm missing my cousins.
and perhaps i shud start saving.
wait.
omg
HOW AM I TO SAVE?
but seriously.
i'm jobless.
so i'm alr feeling broke without spending.
I"M SO BROKE!
sighs.

Lovies
had supper with fel and aldwin yesterday.
was like getting drunk without alcohol.
i wonder if i was getting mad with the lack of sleep.
or just ermm pure craziness.
ok. i'm not making sense.
anyways.
i loved dinner tonight.
cos i had this craving for steak.
and mom and dad decided we go eat that.
wanted to find ponderosa but just couldnt find any outlets in sg.
so we settled for jack's place.
and we waited for out turn considering we reached the place at the peak hour time.
but still i had a great dinner.
haha.
and i do love mushrooms.
especially when it's sauce.
haha
and went to sembawang music.
and finally got the mayday 'born to love' cd.
am so happy.
and i'm not regretting it.
haha
and still i LOVE my tv and scv.
they're good company at the ungodly hours of the day.
cos of the reruns and movies.
haha




i love the rainy nights. but i hate the lighting streaks.


Love is... unilateral? but love is a beautiful thing.
i LOVE the mayday cd.

emo-ing?
seriously it seems that sometimes.. it is inevitable to start to get into the emo-ing mode.
especially when you're having your holidays, cant find a job and so want to make full use of the almost last vacation in your poly life.
well, least that's what's happening to me.
least for this week it was crazy.
wednesday: met fel and mr aldwin at parkway and we went to k instead of the original bowl.
perhaps it was cos of the rain.
perhaps it was just pure laziness.
anyway, the plan flopped.
and we ended up spending 18 bucks.
and went for mcdonald's dinner/supper.
went hoem and watched tv again as usual.
snoozed till late.
thursday: met keat ru and fel to k (again).
only this time it's at cineleisure.
haha
it's madness. in less than 24 hours there are 2 k sessions.
seriously i'm broke.
considering i still havent found my job.
and keat ru's friend came too.
and he's good at singing.
and i'm starting to feel old.
and ck came along too.
and havent seen him in like 2 years.
anyway it was weird.
cos we were not really hungry.
and fel wanted to go home and practice for her exam.
and i was seriously feeling damn tired from the few days of continuous craziness.
anyways we ate at shilin and went home.
today: have been stoning. went crazy and bought myself wanton mee and the dumpling soup.
all those calories gained must be used somehow.
i think it was cos of the no appetite the day before. when i only ate prawn crackers, cheesesticks from bk and half the serving of the crepe form shilin and 2 glasses of lemon tea from kbox.
oh and maybe a little mineral water.
hey.. i doesnt feel like it's very little now..
okay. i'm thinking i'll just get fatter.

anyways i miss loads of people.
i miss my cousins.
havent got the time to really play and stoned around since they left for indonesia.
but wells, they are back.
so i'm looking forward to movie marathons.
oops. is my aunt going to kill me?
haha.
but seriously i wonder how much of quality time i'll still have after i start my sip/mp.
so i'm taking time as it comes now.

i'm still jobless. why is it so hard to find a part-time job.


i love my tv and scv
haha.









Love is.. betrayal? but for now.. it's family love's that's sweet.

Reminiscing again

18march2007
the only highlight of the day is that sending vincent off.
i didnt send him off the first time he went to brunei.. or was it dubai.
and we were late.. i think it is partially my fault.
anyways. we were like waiting for that traint o changi airport at like 11pm+.
and we had to wait for so long before it moved.
and thn we had to wait for the skytrain and it went slow as usual.
and thn we ran.
i think it was crazy considering all the other people that were waiting.
but wells.
i hope he'll have a good time for the 1month.


19march2007
slept for 12 hours.
and rushed out to meet fel.
went to the hong kong cafe.
ate the yang chun mian..
i think that's what they call it or something.
anyways.
we went to the esplanade
and got to rent the practice room.
i think that going there when the school holidays end is definitely the rightest thing to do.
cos i doubt we would've been that lucky if it were on a school holiday.
but wells. managed to find some songs.
and was happy.
and fel played damn well.
and the scenery was also seriously beautiful.
but all the cranes and patches of sand wasnt exactly pleasing.
thn we went back to the shop where we spotted this great deal.
and fel got her acoustic guitar.
for 200bucks.
and that is like so much cheaper than in yamaha when we saw the guitars were all like 400+.
and the guy was really nice.

walked around marina square afterwards.
and i got a top that seriously looked so identical to fel's.
sighs.
it's an incident after the top from the same bugis street store..
haha i bought the tee with a friend and when i met fel said she has the exact same tee.
and it was !!!!!!!!
haha.
coincidence.
anyways. we met mr.aldwin.
and we had the bowling session.
and had our crazy arcade session.
thn it was the finding food frenzy.
and in the end we went to the same hong kong cafe since everywhere was closing.





anyways. 20march2007
i was home the whole day.
being my absolute couch potato.
managed to watch a few episodes of the vcd for the upteemed time.
and thn was watching the reruns on the tv.
and thn it was youtube time.
and playing some lame games on the computer.
i think it does really matter how u spend your time.
playing the computer and doing nothing.. u'll spend your time away quickly.
yet it makes me wonder.. i could've studied so much or done so much if i were in sch.
and yes. i sort of miss school.
but i dont miss the part that every in class wouldnt be together.
sighs.
cos we'll be in our groups.
but luckily i have peinee and fuling.
i still feel the chalet's v.impt.
hope that the rest of the class wouldnt be too far apart.

tml meeting fel and aldwin and maybe sophia for bowling. yet again.
haha.
at katong shopping centre.
it's novelty.
i didnt know they had a bowling alley there.




Love is.

it's a first

went to the airport at about 9.40pm.
granny was scheduled to reach at 9.42pm.
but the airport was really crowded and there were lots of flights landing in singapore.
so while we were waiting and since there was only one exit for the whole stretch of belts...
there were loads of people waiting at the same area.
and there was a flight from korea.
from melbourne.
from shanghai. (granny's flight and belt 36)
and there were just loads of people.
and it was fun to hear korean all over again.

anyways. granny only came out at 10.30pm.
which was 50 mins since the time she was supposed to be out.
i think there were seriously a lot of people.
sighs.
anyways aunt say's flight was coincidentally at the same terminal.
and it was confirmed to land at 10.25pm.
so we dragged granny's lauggage and waited at belt 32.
anyways it was not long after that they arrived.
and most of the lauggage got into dad's car while the rest and the other people got into the cabby.
and we all met at aunt say's house.
bobby's fur has grown a lot for the past week.
the poor doggy's eyes cant be seen.
we had otah supper.
and we left for home at about 12+ till 1am.
anyways.
dad drove to geylang.
to show me how complicated the red light district in singapore is.
wells.
seriously there are some stalls selling really good food there.
it's a great place for supper.
other than the what-nots that is.

anyways reached home and slept at about 2.30-3am.
couldnt get to sleep.
so was stoning and watching the repeats.
anyways woke up at 12pm today.
thn had brunch.
tonight might be sending welfare.. opps. vincent off. (haha)
means it'll be the second time i go to the airport this week and the third time in 2 weeks.



i LOVE the airport.
haha
it's a good place for inspiration.
it's also a good place to stone.
it always feel comfy.
haha.

both are covers for the original song "If I'm Not In Love With You" by Dawn Thomas.
so if saying the japanese one is the original.. it's not fair to the chinese version.
saying the chinese is the original one.. it's also not fair to the chinese version.

15march2007
was supposed to meet fel.
but she went for high tea.
pei nee asked for company to go to bugis.
i felt like going out too.
and she went to help her mom 'bai bai'.
so we went to the temple.
i waited outside cos there was this massive crowd.
people we just pushing and trying their best to squeeze into the temple.
and there were loads of ash on the floor.
anyways we decided to go to bugis to roam.
bugis street was extremely crowded.. so we just walked in the shopping mall.
we went in circles and went to see the jap magazines.
which was crazy.
cos we were trying so desperately hard to figure out just what the magazines were writing. and all we could identify are the names.
and the pictures.
the good thing is i am convinced that for any jap matters, the shop's great.
anyways. we were seriously tired. and i was suffering from a bloated tummy from my big breakfast.
and that was when the desperate looking for seats began.
but the most interesting part wasnt all that.

it is when we were sitting there facing the main road, we spotted a very interesting man with his very interesting fashion carrying this vvery expensive professional camera and trying to find his way. he later sat next to us and took out his travelogue that is totally in korean and started looking around. then he approached us and ask:

tourist: how to go to malayoun?
lw: errrrr (looks at pei nee, pei nee shakes head)
tourist then starts to open his bag and takes out that book that is in korean again and points at the teeny winny picture of the merlion.
lw: ohh. ermm. that place is very far.
tourist: ohh. long walking distance? walk? walk?
lw: er.. too far to walk. you can take the mrt. (points at the mrt station opposite)
tourist: mrt? ohh. ok ok. thank you.

seriously. his english is alr very good.
i remembered when i went to korea 2 years ago almost nobody understood a single word of english.
i heard that that's because they are more theory and less practical.
but i realised they understood chinese better.

anyways. we decided to go to hmv at citylink mall since we didnt want to roam around bugis any longer.
and we met mr korean.
but he was heading to the merlion park so we went on separate ways.

anyways as usual. i miss 1 train before being able to squeeze into the second packed train.
and was stoning till 10.30pm.

seriously. i was wondering where in hell is the jalan simpang bedok.
i do remember going to the shop and save.
and that was at least 10 years ago.
so wells, i felt a little lost.
anyways.
we didnt go to jalan simpang bedok for supper.
instead it was east coast lagoon.
and a crazy game of bowling at 12am.
but i reached tired.
took a shower and slept at 3am.


and i'm still tired now.
i still feel like sleeping.
grah.
granny's coming back to sg tml at 10pm.
i have to check when's aunt say coming back.
woo.
and i'm looking forward to more idling next week.
i seriously still think i should find a job.







brush with fate.

Reccomendations again
this time.
the theme is hiphop+young+sweetthings?
no.
it's vibe
it's groove
and admit it.
the mvs are getting...
more sexy
haha.
well, missy hilary duff is.


Timbaland feat. Nelly Futardo and JT (Justin Timberlake) : Give It To Me

this song is cool. well, timbaland's featured for both nelly futardo and justin timberlake. i guess the working together went well. and this song is seriously nice. i love the groove. haha. and how many times do u get 3 fabulous people together? thumbs up for the collaboration. and i'm still lovin it.




Hilary Duff: With Love

Her newest look is the new talk of the town. the style of her song's getting.. a little different. i;'m not feeling the candy and cutie pies but much more. she's sassier. and cooler. edgier. and that is good. i love the change. and her change is fabulous. btw, this song is/was no.1 on TRL.

Rock on MTV.

haha.

Renditions again

through all the 5 hour internet surfing yesterday.
i got curious and went finding some renditions.
again.
this time it was more fun.
cos it was much much older.
and the original song's from the year i was born.
yes, 1988.
but the new rendition's yet exceptionally modern.
hint:it's a very famous chinese song and the singer's out with his newest album and i once said he's got this seriously cool tattoo.



haha. anyways. here it goes.




1988- Karyn White : Superwoman

fyi, she was 23 when she sang that song. and she stopped singing in 1995. but news shows that she's in for a comeback and her newest album's supposed to be up in stores this year. thing that amazes me is that it is in 1988. (i sorta love the year i was born.. too much stuff happened.. like we started to have the mrt..) and how the mtvs then looked like.





2006- Gary Cao Ge 曹格: Superwoman

i love his rendition of the spn. i love his vocals. seriously, this is a seriously good song itself and i found out the cool tattoo on the back is his surname: c-h-a-w.








i'm not a superwoman.
haha

good news? bad news?

i'm happy.
i managed to pass all the subjects.
and i did better than i thought i would
but i didnt do as good for the rest i thought i would've.
anyways.
my gpa didnt rise or drop.
i hope that next sem would be good.
would be stressful enough to make me do well.

muahaha.
=)
=)
=)



i just realised i havent wrote my new year resolutions.
it's 3 months late.
haha
i wonder if knowing i don have to take supp's made my adrenaline levels rise..
muahaha.
anyways i took some psychological test and results show that i should make a move when it comes to anything.
haha.





ok. the adrenaline level's a little too high.

reminiscing
again.
granny's in china till saturday.
aunt and family is also in indonesia till saturday.
granny was cute to call and say happily 'we're at nanking, tell your aunty lina'
haha.
anyways. after almost 2 weeks of enjoyment and afterwards gruelling torment..
...
thing is..
tml the results should be out.
i'm worried cos there's this one subject i have this gut feeling i'll have to do the supp.
it just feel like i WILL get it.
and it almost seems like i'll be writing that i got it tml.
i could even see the F on my 'report card'.
sighs
i wonder how nice a person who gives others so much stress live.
grah!


anyways. i was browsing thru the internet and found loads of stuff.
and well, i've been browsing for about 5 hours alr.
i saw the 2004 movie 'the prince and me' on wikipedia.
by julia stiles and luke mably.
it's old.
cos i watched it when i was 16.
when i didnt have to worry about supp papers.
so yeah, it's different then.
anyways, i foudn out that they have a sequel.
but it didnt get to the cinemas.
it was straight to dvd.
perhaps i shud try finding it at the video shops.
see if i am in the mood to get it.
but i do feel like watching it.
although paige morgan's changed to someone else and not julia stiles.
and also i browsed the movie's (1st one.. not the sequel) main webby and took their quiz.
and this is the result:




i think they're right about scorpions. somethings, we just cant put down.
i cant put down my dreams.
and i still do love fantasy stories.. that might not really happen in this reality world.
but i am just happy with me dreaming ahbout them.





wish me luck for tml. i need loads.

My Top List
circa march09/2007
my video log entry


Top Chinese List. top3

3. Danson Tang Yu Zhe 唐禹哲 -最愛還是你

he's probably better known as 'nan xue zhang' in hanakimi. i first heard this song on mtvchinese and wanted to post it but blogger was down. this song is the ending theme for his new drama. called 'zhong ji yi jia' aka. 終極一家.





2. Gary Cao Ge 曹格 -天使嫉妒的生活

he's got a really cool tattoo on his back. anyways i kept hearing it on scv asiaplus ch49. i realised his mvs are getting more and more sadistic. but wells, this song is still nice.




drumroll...




1. Mayday 五月天 -我又初戀了

i LOVE this song. and i Love the interaction of the grpmembers. they ARE fun. this seems like the next fun song after 戀愛ing. Nevertheless, they're still superb at what they do. muahaha.







as for the english songs. i have been too engrossed in mtvchinese for the past week. but i keep hearing these songs at mtvasia.

Jojo- How to touch a girl

this song isnt new but it's got the groove. besides, it's penned by jojo herself. so dont look down on this 17yr old. she's got spite.




Danity Kane- Ride for you

no offense but i feel that one particular singer in the group has a weird voice. it just doesnt sound like it's helping the other vocals. especially when she stretches the note or rises to a higher key. she's like constantly shouting. it just doesnt sound too pleasing. but overall, it's not bad. hey, they're new.

pop10's today. i wonder who'll top the charts.

i wonder if the alcohol played a part.
wells, i just hope it gets better.
i want the k-sessions.

5march2007:
met shixuan,fel,karmun and sophia.
sophia missy was late. muahaha.
haha while i was wondering if i was underdressed.
well, i guess it turned out okay.
thn we went to nydc at heeren for dinner.
i shared with fel a irish mudpie which.. had liquor.
thn went to indochine at wisma.
where the band was hopping.
and the songs were great.
the ambience was great.
the company was fantastic.
it was a great night out.
other thn the losing voice part.
but to prevent my voice from getting any worse.
i only got myself a mocktail.
the safe sex on the beach.
muahaha nice name.











the band at indochine. sophia dedicated the song: my sacrifice by green.






us.





















shixuan&karmun


















me&fel




fel&sophia

we then went movie hunting.
from cineleisure to cathay.
but to our dismay, nil places are open.
sighs.
so we went home.
reached home at about 12pm+
and watched tv.. before sleeping.
6march2007 a.k.a today:
there's this earthquake in indonesia.
which is freaky.
it's 6.6.
and it's centre is 403km from singapore.
and there were tremors twice.
one at about 12pm. which i didnt really realise much.
just felt a little giddy.
i tot it was my prob. with me being sick and everything.
but mom called and told me tht her building was evacuated cos of the swaying and stuff.
thn at approx. 2pm.
i felt the swaying.
i saw my curtains moving.
and i was moving on my chair too.
i think it starts to become freaky when u live on the 17th floor.
and feel the swaying.
anyways. my voice's gettign a little better. but still not the normal sound.
i sound like the taiwan host li qing.
sighs.
hanakimi's gonna end.
sighs.

Afterexams --blues?

no dont get me wrong.
i'm not abnormal to not love the holidays.
i do.
and i welcome it with open arms.
it's just that.
i wonder.
and realise that there are other thing to worry about.
like whether i'll flunk the irritating rushed aconhyd.
and do a supp and getting into the frenzy all over again.
blah.
i know it's done.. sighs.. wadeva.
and also i have to find something to do.
be it take up classes or get a job or i'll be idling the whole holis away..
a total potato couch.

anyway..
i seek solace in
punk,rock,r&b,pop,jazz,blues,classical.
music.
haha
i realise that i can do nothing for a day.
i just sit there and stare at the tv and afterwards the pc.
sighs.
but i love my new tv.
haha


so here it comes:
Rivermaya: you'll be safe here (so i heard they're coming to singapore..)

this song was very familiar.






Tank: Jie Tou Ba Wang 街頭霸王

he's cool





Justin Timberlake- What goes around (comes around)
