for the reader who still comes.
and for all glamberts who still haven't caught wind of this yet.
hotly anticipated single from adam lambert, "Time for Miracles" for the movie 2012. Although it's just a short 30 seconds but that 30 seconds was a blast and hinted of far more greater things to come. can't wait for the full single and his album to come out!
guess this will be the last time before a long hiatus (again). a long time before i'll post again. everything has been last than ideal till now. but that will change.
Oh yeah I know its not easy, I know that its hard
Believe the tunnel can end, believe your body can mend
Yeah I know you can make it through, cause I believe in you
So lets go put up a fight, lets go make everything all right
Go on and take a shot, go give it all youve got.
Yeah I know you can make it through, cause I believe in you

Go on and take a shot, go give it all youve got.
You know, maybe it's time for miracles.

Haven't blogged in ages.
Many things had happened in this short span of time, I'm not sure I can recall them all or whether they're even worth putting them down permanently here.
Certain professions, perhaps best viewed as discoverers, artists, explorers and healers, help you see things in another perspective. It's the age-old question of whether the cup is half-filled or half-empty really.
I don't know if I sound incoherent or cryptic.
Am doing my pq now and looked through some of the past reflections I made of myself and found it quite amusing I actually wrote stuff like "I intend to hone my management skills as well as emotional quotient, as well as to develop a desirable risk-taking attitude so that I may be one step closer to fulfilling my ambition of becoming a successful entrepreneur in the food and beverage industry and propel me to success in my future enterprises. "
"In pursing his dream to be a lawyer, Felix has joined various attachments such as to a lawyer firm recently where he got to experience first-hand a lawyer’s life. "
I made many changes with regards to my aspirations throughout my childhood. Its sometimes this and sometimes that. I remember telling an interview panel once I wanted to be in F and B and later found out I didn't really know much about an upcoming food fair hahaha. Then there's the countless afternoons looking at petitions and affidavits.
Haha,
where does my path lead to.

hello again.
it's been a long time, (checks date) omg more than one month since i came to this space. hahah everybody prolly thinks this thing is long gone. actually, didn't really feel like blogging until my sister fulfils her promise to make me a nice new skin.
going by the current circumstances, i think i'll have to wait like >10 more years for that to actually happen.
alot of things have happened since i last blogged. hah i sound like my econs teacher before every lesson must give news flash of current affairs (mostly unrelated stuff) except for this week, i just realized.
like, learning to say goodbye to mj. another teacher of mine commented how hypocritical some people are, it seems like a not too long ago memory where people were doubtful about his associations with kids and now that hes gone lotsa people start mourning his passing or how some people don't really know him at all, since he's totally not from our generation but still pretend to care.
as a child, i read about him from some smarties (educational) magazine and then later not too long ago, i watched the documentary that got him embroiled in a series of cases. but otehr than that, i wouldn't dare say im a fan of his. but i would still mourn his passing, cmon larh hes the guy who revolutionised mtv mvs and dance moves. which spawned countless imitations (i can't help thinking about jango from one piece lol).
speaking of one piece. manga is getting great. one piece is as funny as ever, with its all star line up what can 1 complain. bleach is imbaaaaa cool! the last pic of all the vaizards wearing masks. waaaaah. ahahhaha. drools. naruto needless to say. my fav sasuke's back in the picture. enough said.
then there's saying hello again to emma watson ((: haha wahlao its like some episodic obsession that comes about everytime theres a new potter movie. that's not to say im an episodic fan. ( on the contrary, im a timeless eternal frontline fan btw. or so i like myself to believe.)
anyway for those who dunno, other than wentworth miller and adam lambert, my other obsession is with emma watson wooo. cant wait to watch the movie in like.... 7 days. wouldn't mind watching it 2,3,4566788999029842939325468989054 times if emma gets enough screen time. the last show her screen time was so pathetic i think scabbers got more screentime than her. (figurative sarcastic comment).
haha uber cute vid.
other than catching up on emma watson updates i've also been catching up with my missed harper's island and prison break episodes.
harper's island actually, if you think about it, is quite a lq show (no surpirse its ratings keep tanking) esp with some stupid mad killer holding a ridiculous looking sharp pointy object (i cant bring myself to call it a sword) who somehow manages to sharingan his victims into missing EVERY SINGLE OPEN FIRE.
imagine a scene with him standing on elavated ground 1 m away not moving, with his victim shaking with fear, screaming incoherent stuff like "GETAWAYFROMMEYOUFREAK" or sth to that effect, shooting some space 20cm off target, and then runs out of bullets. (happened twice in one episode) -.-"
prison break's great of course. but not so great since i know i will mourn micheal's passing. (pun btw)
anw, here's a song i heard from harper's island, quite nice this band.
9:59 PM
back (again). lol.,

Lol@ at title. It's been a long while since I've posted, not sure who still checks here anymore. Many things have concluded before this point of time with many making reflections and all.
It's close to 2 a.m I don't know why I'm still online, I can't get to sleep but I don't really feel like making a "reflections post". Theres a sleepover tomorrow ( I think?) which means I'll be (would have slept?) sleeping later than 2 / 3 am consecutively for 3 days. woo.
Update when I get the mood.
p.s I watched Angels and Demons with my family today. It was good. (>>> looking for people to watch movies with)
I realized this post was very incoherent and very gramatically wrong. heck anyways. the only reflections i'd make is this!!!
has no idea why konan is giving naruto flowers. but i still think the origami stuff is very very cool!!! + sas-k and kakashi are back!!! (ok i know im a bit lag hahaah)I also think the line is also very cool!!!
for you; these are the flowers of hope that never die.

Had wanted to post this since the weekend, but never got round to it.
(the following has no relation to the title)
I actually read sometime last week about how racial sterotypes are exemplified in the lastest Amazing Race winners, Tammy and someotherguy whose name I forgot. (They're brothers and sisters)
Although I'm a huge fan of reality series of all kinds, I didn't really follow this season of AR ( I think the series has lost its appeal to me). Anyways I only caught 1 episode in which they were scheming their way (think: backstabbing) in China ( I think) where they had an upperhand in language proficiency (they were American Born Chinese). They made use of their talents and tricked other teams into following them while telling the gamemasters of various stations that they desperately needed to win / their mum and dad would be ashamed it they lost at this leg and all that crap. *rolls eyes*
Anyway the article talked about how they fitted snuggly into descriptions typecasted, sterotypically of asians (headhardedness, subversiveness of women, which by the way has undertones of sexism)
Speaking of sexism, (I can't really remember when was it) but I vaguely recall a scene not too long ago where I was walking with someone near some traffic junction and that person was commenting how theres a rise in women drivers and how they shouldn't drive big cars when they can't handle it.
Ok, no link, but I guess that was like a preemble to what I really wanted to talk about and that was homophobia. or actually/rather, the prejudice against homosexuals. Haha you know where I'm heading towards. (ADAM LAMBERT).
A disclaimer, I had been an avid fan of lambert since he FIRST appeared during the auditions round where not much spotlight was cast on him ( I think they were saving their secret weapon).
Others soon caught on his unique (imba gay) singing and pledged their loyalty. But when news of his questionable sexuality spread, many started throwing all kinds of crap at him.
I seriously don't see why him being gay (if he even is at all) should affect his chances of winning AI, or for that matter, his singing. No matter what his preferences are, he's still undeniably a good singer (dispute that only when you can reach notes as high as him all you naysayers/ doubting thomases pointing fingers at him saying how his theatrical antics can't match up to works of legends). Although admittedly if he were more effeminate, I prolly wouldnt have rooted from him so readily from the start, but still... as he cooly shakes off these questions "I am who I am".
He is who is he is, and he is a DAMN good singer. (even all the newspapers say if the stars are aligned Adam should win on thursday)
Haha, so here's an early GOOOOO ADAM LAMBERT!
Oh and I think this song is imba. One of my fav performances ( I kinda like his tender soulful side more than his rocker side.)
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
[randomly inserted edit: just felt like i need to rant here. i feel like a lonely crowd when we'd walk pass each other, ours eyes meet but no words come out. like strangers. referring to no one in particular but more in a general sense in an increasingly common phenomenon. ]
On a sidenote, speaking of songs, my latest fav song at the moment is definately
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
[CHORUS]
Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I've got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I've never seen no body shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
I think you and I should stay the same
[CHORUS]
Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
Haha
[CHORUS]
I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself
[CHORUS]
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself, myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself
Haha I think the humming parts and the haha are superduper cute. Actually most, if not all, of her songs in Fearless are dam nice. Listening to the songs kinda inspired me to try and pick up my rusty guitar skills again.
(I found this on youtube, must compare it with originial lyrics, this guy is dam good lol. like roflfunny-kinda good)
(lol this post is imba long)
All I need is someone to guide me now. Haha.

choices,
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
my sister is currently slogging it out somewhere in ubin battling hordes of sandflies and mosquitoes.
yep, that's right shes in obs. Her absence made me think back on my experience in obs, but i soon found out that my memory of that event, despite me being a pro-camp person (think: camps aid in bonding) is close to zilch.
I can't even remember who i kayaked with (i think it was melvin) or who was in my group. All i can remember was that majority of my time was somehow spent with kj and linky (who were both in another watch) but our watches stuck together as a group in expeditions.
All i can vaguely remember is ... some shovel (which i forgot its name) but soon recalled it had something to do with dota, then i remembered it's called tool of entrenchment. (no prizes for guessing its purpose) and my wonderful experience with it (first and only contact - thank god) .
Then next was the time we were stoning in the toilet while waiting for our turn to bathe with Kj and linky after 3 days of mobile and our FIRST EVER time stepping into a modernized toilet in obs campsite.
My last memory would probably be lugging some imba heavy bagpack and making it to our "somewhere hidden in the forest" campsite where we heard some wolves(?) howling and some other people howling as well (sounded like some old men were singing karaoke).
This post was about making choices, I thought long and hard about the issue during my bus ride home. Choices like choosing to do something, to turn up for something or not to do something or not to turn up for something. Strangely though, while I thought of many things, I suddenly can't recall a single thing. lol.
I called up my tuition teacher randomly today. Okay, actually it was not that random, I realized that my POA was missing and felt insecure that my harry potter collection was incomplete so I called to check if it was with her (LOL). Had not spoken to her for like 2 years. I'm not sure what was the purpose putting that here.
But my short convo with her made me realize 2 things. 1. Something really needs to be done about how I speak, I used to be able to code switch. But then somewhere along the line I decided to be lazy and thus led to a downward spiral such that I now talk to everybody like they're some ahbeng I befriended at the market. 2. make important choices wisely from now on.

Don't Want to Miss One Thing,
Sunday, May 10, 2009
I'm back after a week of inactivity again.
It isn't that good to leave a negative post on top for too long. (hahaha lol don't snigger).
The past week has been hectic from the head to the tail what with a barrage of tests and activities going on simultaneously.
In the end, it seems like I can't really wander off too far from the issue of ccas. I had to rummage through some Orientation Camp photos for some yearbook thing, which of course, needless to say (you know whats coming), got me thinking (again).
With all the recent events concluding, the last one being Flea-ker (the very last event under our banner), I realized how much/little (?) I've been invovled. I don't know larh, if you take a look at all the photos, it seems like somehow or other, either by choice or by certain circumstances, I cant be found in alot of the group photos. And I'm not sure what that means either. Even for OC, which I planned for, I was absent for 1/2 the event. -.-"
All those times I have missed out on things, I'm not sure what I lost, and what it means. But this post wont be an emo post larh hahaha. To quote someone (rephrased to put into context), I cannot expect my experience in I and T to be the same as the experience I had in N and if I insist on just looking for the treasured times I had experience before, I'll just end up not finding it.
Having said that, with Installation drawing nearer and nearer, the time to pass the baton looms ever closer, (i'm going to sound like I'm echoing the thoughts of what has already been exchanged online already), I'm sure I will still remember fondly some of the things we've been through together. Already, some memories are flooding my brain, immediately ILTC pops into my head, the times we spent stoning together listening to some old foggy drawl on and on into the history of .... (left blank for good measure), eating curry pok, talking cock and playing bridge into the wee hours so on and so forth. I will also never forget playing bridge and talking cock into the wee hours in another training camp i had attended around the same period last year (sparex ahahah). [if you noticed, both events are camps. yes, I do think overnight camps are the most instrumental parts of bonding. afterall, it's the night activites where the fun begins. heheheh)
All the talk about bringing tissues to Installation, (okay this is going to sound quite sissy) but I think, in the end, I'll still need them too. (haha). I won't deny I'm quite the emotional person. The last time something similar was held was POP, and yes it ended with me 泪水洗脸 too. Haha.
So I guess the point of all these was to say that at the end of the day, no matter what I feel/ felt at certain points of time, the past 2 years (in both I and T) were not spent in vain and I would defintely have memories I would treasue in time to come.
Okay it's getting repetitive, I'm gonna take a break from posting and go brush my teeth (started at 11.40? and its 12.30 now with some msn here and there)
left blank cos i wanted to post something here before the next few sentences but i suddenly can't recall what it was about.)
ooo I rmbed, hahaa i made this facebook quiz thingy about how well you know me. Apparently, lots of people thought my fav manga was one piece. Haha that's totally a misconception. My favourite is (and prolly will always be) Naruto. Alot of people also thought that the thing i hated most was my haircut so that either reflects that a)my haircut's really hateful at the moment or b)i care about my hair alot(?) lol. either way, the ans was that i actl didn't like (hate is too strong) my bag the most, the matter was taken care of today.
In an abrupt link back to anime/manga, my fav character fyi is not Orihime despite my obsession with hime hahaha, its definately Sas-k!!! esp the badass anti-hero TS Sasuke. And just fyi, my fav colour is actl something brownish (not reli khaki but khaki seems quite close and that was all i could think of). hahaha. I don't know, somehow brown gives this relaxing feeling, like very Nature-ish. Just like how I have this obsession with tree motifs. I still haven't found my perfect tree t-shirt btw.
Went to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine today. Despite all it's negative ratings and all and admittedly a more inferior script as compared to its counterparts, with its stunning visuals and light-hearted jokes at some point of time really made it a feel-good movie and it totally deserves it's no.1 box office spot in both US and Sg. (ps i esp liked the part where he set a fire with his claws dam imba cool, that scene)
Just like how Adam Lambert totally deserves to win American Idol. Sunday Times ran another coverage on him today (actl it was on AI) but anyway it predicted that Adam was gonna win. yay. duh. haha, quite sad allison's out larh ( i didnt watch the results show) but i guess making it this far was already a feat for the 17 yr old. Adam ALL THE WAY!
