Sleepy, nail art, yawn...

Sleepy... Stayed up all nite ystday to watch baseball this morning at 7. Slept till 5pm after the game ended. And feeling sleepy already... No wonder Jester calls me piggy... hmm...

Sometimes really feel like moving out. Too noisy at home. My sis will start throwing tantrums for absolutely nothing n my mum becomes pek chek. Then starts shouting her head off at issues not even related to wht my sis is throwing tantrums abt n begins on her own rantings. Then my dad hears them all, n "world war 3" starts at Clementi...

Been spending money on nail polish, acrylic paints n beads recently. Doing my own manicure plus nail art and DIY earrings at home... So fun! Most of the money goes to these items. Although I tell myself, next month thn I'll get a new colour, but whn a colour comes along n catches your eye, you'll grab it, rite? Haiz, betta control myself a little, cos i cant be drinking nail polish for food.

Was discussing wif PJ that mayb we can pool resources n rent a bazaar stall or something and sell wht we dun want. She had done it wif her sis b4 n thy made a little profit after minusing out the rent. Mayb during the Dec hols as it'll be more convinient...

Sleepy... *yawn...*

Lala-land...

Haha.. been ages since I typed anything here... Not much to write aso... Heh... Been ok with life, no rantings... Just hope that Neopets servers shld buck up a little, getting slower and slower... Dunno why I named this lala-land though...

22 years on Earth...

Woah! My b-day's in 24hrs!

Grand old age of 22. Getting old... Young at heart can liao.. Hehe... But 22 really seems old man... A few more years mid-20s already, and a few more late-20s thn the big 3-0!

Wht have I been doing for the past 22 years? Was in my mum's tummy for the first 9 months. Both my parents working so was taken care by my nanny. Till I was 7, thn I went home cos my parents got a maid. But had trouble with the maid, sent the maid packing and I was back to my nanny's place. It was only till Pri 3/4 that I really had my own room in my own home. My sis came along whn I was having my dec hols in Pri 1.

Had a score of 228 for my PSLE, couldn't get into any of the sec sch my mum n I chose, so was thrown to a sec sch I didn't like. Didn't like but stayed on for 4 years cos couldn't get a transfer out to anywhere. Went to FSV, my interest. The rest of the courses I chose was to just enable me to go to Ngee Ann so if I cant get into FSV, I can transfer in there.

Its the first time I did something I really liked. Quarrelled with my mum becos she wanted me to go JC. Never regretted my choice till now. Stayed in FSV for another half a year to do a short advanced-dvd course and chose to forgo a place in Murdoch Uni (Bachelor of Marketing and the Media, BMM).

Its a uni course that I really liked. I can get to learn abt marketing in the media and media's marketing, with advertising added in. The main reason I wanted this was becos of the advertising subjects tt I'll be able to do. Not copywriting and the arty part of advertising but the maketing and media part. Interesting eh? I'd like to go back to do the course again whn I have the time.

I've written abt the ABC choices thingy entry some time back. So tt's y I'm still here now. Directions changes. Expectations of life changes. Hmm, not quite though. All I know is that I want to have my own time freedom but I'll still have money. Thus, business...

When I have the financial freedom, I may most prob go to Murdoch to persue the course I wanted to. And of course play my softball, and do every single thing I love.

Bday celebration, Becks' move...

Celebrated my b-day earlier last week. Got a hotel room, checked in wif a few frds. Played mah-jong (trying to keep noise level down), talked cock, swam (damn cold swimming pool), buffet breakfast (not too much of a spread), thai express dinner (yummy tom yam, green curry for dinner, red rubies n tapioca for dessert)... No pillow fight though cos we're all civillised pple. Hehe... Really enjoyed myself for these 2 days. Might be celebrating again on the day itself on Tuesday. See arrangements how...

One reason I'm in here is also because Bugger's MIA again... Ping timeout this time round. Haiz... There goes my trivia...

Becks heading to Real Madrid. Sad sad... Y sell Becks n not Veron? Cos Becks is worth more? Cos whn his contract ends in 2 years, he'll be on free transfer n Man U wana earn some money outta it? y? haiz... How I wish he remains in Man U. It's his fave team since young and what beats the feeling you have playing for your fave team? Haiz... Now when there's soccer telecast, I'll have to watch 2 games instead of 1... 1 for Man U (cos my other fave players are still there), another for Becks... Haiz...

Updates yet again...

Diaryland keeps getting clogged up nowadays.. too many pple accessing the blog at the same time? Huge updates? Dunno whether considered or not..

American Idol of 2003 is Ruben Studdard!!! Whooppii!!! So so happy!!! Can't wait for his album!!!

Mentioned that my throwing's off, and now I know the problems. Have to keep practicing till I get it right. SEA Games 2005, I'll reach for you! I must try and go all way out to reach there!

On Sunday, I saw something. I don't know if that's real love, or issit cos being together for so many years, you just can't live without each other... Well, well, I not in a position to comment about love, am I?

Mind's in a blank.. Dunno wht else to blog... Haiz...

Man U are Champs Again!!! AMI2

Remembered to blog these things down while in the cab just now...

Man U are Champs AGAIN!!! Eight titles in eleven years is a great feat! Yesh, we snatched the title back from ARSEnal back. (note how I emphasize on the arse?) So happy! But rumors of Becks gog over to Real Madrid isn't dying down. Hope he'll remain in Man U... Haiz...

I caught this season of American Idol. It's the 2nd season running. The first season's champ, Kelly Clarkson has just released her album. It's now down to the final 2 for this season. Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuben Studdard n Clay Aiken (aka - in my opinion - the sissy n broadway guy). I was supporting Kimberly Caldwell and Ruben since the start. But Kim was voted out a few weeks earlier... Don't understand y the always off-key singing of Carmen managed to let her stay a week longer thn Kim... And Treynce, wif imitating Brandy's n Whitney Houston's voice could even stay longer!!! When it was down to the final 3, with Kimberly Locke, I wanted a Kim L n Ruben final, cos Kim L's voice is versatile wif a huge range. Too bad, Kim L was voted out. Americans are either deaf or blind. Deaf cos thy cannot hear who can sing n who cannot. Blind cos they are blinded by their faith n "ba chu ta stamp". Hope my Velvet Teddy Bear will win the competition. Go Ruuuuuuuuuuben!!!

Where are my baseball matches?!?!?!

By the way, stupid ESPN still not showing the baseball matches!!! Argh!!! Pek chek!!! Wonder have to wait how long more... Sianz...

For the past 30+ days....

Freaking long since I've updated this thing. No time, can't be bothered to, nothing to blog about, too busy, forget to blog, all sorta reasons.

Played pool on n off throughout this long period of not blogging. Think I've improved slightly. Just that my posture n basics still sucks.

Went to Melaka on the 2nd n 3rd of May for an upgrading training program. Damn shiok! The feeling of everyone coming together for th same goal, striving and encouraging each other to move on. The hotel I was staying in had a shopping mall opposite it. In the shopping mall, there was Dunkin Doughtnuts n Baskin Robins Ice Cream!!! So happy. Bought half a dozen of doughtnuts and 2 pints of ice cream back to SG. It's been so many years since I last tasted these "childhood" tastes. Reliving my childhood days when eating those doughtnuts n ice cream. Haiz, if only there are these outlets in SG now... Scrimping on my ice cream now... Taking only a spoonful every other day...

Since the 12th, we had a softball camp in Ngee Ann. Went back to train with the team. Did 200 duct-jumps and push-ups, sprinted, ran, did 100 sit-squats... Quite a bit of physical for someone who haven been gog through all these for so many years. And after these years of playing softball, I've been gog through the basics which (unfortunately) I haven been taught. Its a really back to zero experience for me since last year. Now, I'm slowly picking up. Hehe... And at last, I can judge fly balls!!! Hehe... Wasn't been able to estimate n judge, now I can... Hehe... So happy... But my throwing's a bit weird, have to practice on tt...

Time to zzz...

Kor Kor, thanks for your "Zui"! Jeter hurt...

Sob sob... No live telecast of MLB games on SG's ESPN yet... Made me so happy for nothing. Checked out espnstar.com n found that they only start telecasting on the 10th... They betta not push it to a later date again... So i chked mlb.com to chk out NYY's season opener's score. Thy won, but Derek Jeter (sob sob...) dislocated his shoulder n will be out of action for a while... Haizzzzzzzzzz........

There's never ending news of people getting SARS, when will it ever stop?! Poly n uni students have appealed for the institutes to be closed during this period, the ministry refused. Now, after a student from NP kena, they closed NP for 3 days n poly staff had to track those who were in contact wif tt student. I was thinking, if only these institutes are closed at the same time as the pri n sec sch n jcs, thy would not have to go thru so much trouble. Pardon me, but I think the authories are just not doing things enuff in order to contain the virus spread.

Leslie Zhang Guo Rong, singer of my all-time fave song "Zui" commited suicide on Apr Fools Day. When I first heard the news thru CNA, I was thinking, wht a crude Apr Fools joke. When CNA reported it again, the news started to sink in, but i just cant believe it. The next day, there was newspapers spread n the entertainment news progs aso reported, it was thn i really realised it was true. Although i still refuse to believe what has happened, the fact is that it has already happened. He's so so talented... "Kor Kor (which he is usually called), everyone will miss you n your songs"

His death reminded me of Zhang Yu Sheng. Although he did not take his life, he was involved in an accident which made him lay in hospital for many days, never waking up n died. The images of him layin on the hospital bed, Amei, Su Rei and other frds holding hands in a cricle saying prayers for him and an inconsable Amei who was crying n crying, all these images seems to happen jus only ystday. Even at a memorial concert on his one year death anniversary, the image of Amei crying on stage, unable to finish her song which he wrote for her, is still so fresh in my mind.

Do talented artists have to come to a not so good end? Y do thy have to pass away this way? Or are there many others who died this way, n jus that thy are in the limelight, we are able to feel the loss to the industry? Do most of them suffer from depression? Tao Zi made a comment on her show which i agree, "Leslie is like 'so up there', many of us would think twice abt calling to chat wif him cos we are jus small fries". So do great artistes have to be lonely?

War, carnival, zzz...

So, war has started. I'm anti-Saddam but not pro-war. Have to disarm this mad fella asap. God knows whn he's gonna stage a bio or chem warfare on the rest of the world.

There was a SRC carnival for softball for the past 2 weekends. The matches were kinda ok, some exciting, some not. As usual, the 'C' division girls games were won on who had the least errors and free bases.

Haven't slept well these few days as had to reach Padang early. Woke up at 9am today, headache, went back to zzz. Woke up at 3pm, still headache plus giddiness... Kinda okie now... Arm aching too, cos din do proper streching before throw/catch.

Meeting Klooz n Pam most prob in the evening later. Mum say go facial wif her in the morning... Gotta sleep soon, but CNA gonna start Fox news broadcast...

Yeah!!! MLB's returning to ESPN starting on Wed!!! Hehe!!! At last! Hope they telecast more Yankees games so I can get to c Derek Jeter... Hehe...

Go to hell wif war...

Go to hell, Saddam!!
