Facebook is being a bitch. Rawr. And I bloody hate local taxi companies. I WAS ON THE PHONE FOR TWENTY EFFING MINUTES STRAIGHT JUST TO GET 2 TAXIS. Some bloody comfort cab bailed on me and didn't even have the decency to call. AND I FUCKING HATE THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OPERATORS AND I HAVE TO RESPOND TO A BLOODY MACHINE. How important are we as customers to the stupid companies if MACHINES ARE THE ONES TELLING US MECHANICALLY AND MONOTONOUSLY THAT OUR CALL IS 'IMPORTANT TO THEM' ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Seriously, can they just bloody increase efficiency by using more HUMAN operators ?? If I want to change my pickup location, I have to wait for the machine to let me punch in my choice before WAITING SOME MORE FOR A BLOODY OPERATOR ! And I tell you, I am no stranger to this stupid system of theirs. AND IF THEY KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH CALL VOLUME CAN THEY PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO DECREASE CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION !?!?!?!? Plus, the fact that I was making the important guests wait MADE IT EVEN WORSE. Bloody hell.

***

That aside, today was a great day. Although the response reminded me of our dunstable to charpentier concert. As a performer, I felt really sad for them. =( Lucky there weren't any major cock ups. We also christened our water trolley (donkey) 'Molly' haha, trying to amuse ourselves. I managed to take a really nice UN-BLUR photo of jas and taras !!! :D Will make some contrast adjustments and such but it is really a nice candid shot (: Am saving all photos till after radio & juliet ! :) Will miss my tech guys (more than the young handsome ones hahaha) when they leave ):

I think my elation will last me quite a bit :D :D :D Hurhurhurhurhurhur. Although I feel like having martinis or something with the stalkers, lols. Maybe timbre or something on sunday ? Or the bar cherr recommended at millenia walk.. And also I've been inspired by this random guy's photography. Go check it out. GORGEOUS. I am so envious. And now I find my digital canon ixus hopelessly inadequate. Or maybe it's just me. =X I'm quite shy with taking random candid shots (though those are my favourites..) especially of strangers. I'll work harder ayes ! And because my shutter is not quick enough and I don't like using flash, I end up with many blur shots. ARGH.

Supposedly the icing on top of the icing. But you chose differently.

Oh and on another note, I'm not too upset with tourism although I did put in quite a lot of effort studying it (after soci) and it was my favourite module (after old and new music). I'm wondering now if I should do a minor/second major/change my major. I KNOW. IT'S MAJOR RIGHT ??? Hahaha I love puns. But yes. I shall take physical geog mods and see how I like them. And the biggest miracle was LITERATURE :D :D :D I literally (hahaha) gave up hope ! But I guess miracles do happen.. (:

We all thought the dad (there's a family of three, the father's the director of lubljana's ballet troupe, his wife's the soloist and they brought their cute 14 month old (: ) is really dao but when he smiles or winks, he's really quite handsome. I googled and found a photo of him when he was younger (he's in his early thirties). Whilst waiting for eddy to finish with his interview, I had a really nice chat with him and he's not as aloof as he looks. It's quite sad because ballet dancers have a very short shelf life.. As opposed to opera singers and all.

I'm so glad that I don't have to deal with the chorus much. =X Ironically. The group is huge !!! And they have many requests ! And some of them are just...icky. It's quite amusing really because yz and I have nicknames for quite a few of the dancers. There's the stripper =X, pan asian guy, striped shirt guy, guy who loses his shoes, muscular woman (most of the ladies look similar =X), guy who is almost always revealing his chest (also known as guy who really smokes a lot), flirty guy, dao guy, cool black guy who speaks good english, flask guy, the two older guys who don't look like dancers (also referred to as the independent ones), somewhat nerdy guy with specs.. Haha I think we covered most of the guys..

Last night was quite a success ! Except for the fjgvkfsajhsalfdhjbgl involving the latched doorway. >( Was really quite disturbed by that. But I'm glad most of them are okay. I especially like the bass (: Hope tonight will be even better..

There was a lot of running around after the chorus and dancers left. Locking up, directing people to the mall, trying to call for taxis, giving directions, making sure everyone had left and settling transport. Managed to join the tech people plus eddy, alan and matt for 15 minutes whilst they drank and smoked. I think I failed my geog and hist teachers when I told them that slovenia is a few hours from austria and that I thought it was part of the former USSR. =X Lols, the whole table was laughing at me. Sorry mans ! Hahaha =X


I like my men macho. Or just really really cute. Hurhur.

ON ANOTHER NOTE I AM SUPER HAPPY AND HIGH RIGHT NOW AHAHAHAH
THIS SURELY IS A SIGN THAT GOD EXISTS ! HE REALLY IS A MIRACLE WORKER !
PRAISE GOD :D

I must remember to take a picture with cute blonde doctor ! He said hi to me first (: And the very cute mr cl*ug. And the very very cute brown haired dancer. And nice cute (but not very young) guy who helped us carry the flask. And cute pan asian guy. And cool cute black guy who speaks relatively good english. And the cute baby ! ((: So many cute people ! And of course my tech team ! All of them are cute in their own uncle-ish macho way. Hahaha (:

Sonny Rollins was having a concert tonight and I brought tall electrician andrej to the concert hall side for a peek backstage (: Pity that I couldn't bring gorazd along.. And I just realised that I've been calling the handsomest tech guy (imo) by the wrong name ! =X Oops to tommy ! (tomaz) Haha and I was so amused cos it was 11ish when I dropped them off and they went to go drink. =/ They really love beer and cigarettes. =/

I just really don't like it when people are friendly with me just so they can chat up my hot friends. How insincere.

Am exhausted and just used many 'ANDs'. May I have free time tomorrow ! AHHH OPENING NIGHT ! Hurhur.

Back home and really exhausted. Good thing they cancelled tomorrow's morning transfer so I start at 130 ! I can finally sleep in and maybe catch a bit of mythbusters ? Lols.

Why me ?!?!?!??! I've been the earliest to arrive and latest to leave. ): And because the rest aren't around in the morning, I get TONS of saikang to do. ): Judging from the past 2 days, I think if I can't be my own boss, I will have to jump into a lake or something. I really cannot take excessively dramatic reactions.

Finally got a look at the dancers. :D So many cute guys !!! At least 3, not including mr c*lug ! I don't know their names so it's cute dancers #1, #2 and #3. And a cute baby ! Hoho. It's really quite gross though when everyone's flirting with my hot colleague especially the old men. Eeeeesh. Oh ! But I got to talk to the cute doctor (: He travels with them and he's the only blonde I find adorable so far..hurhur.

You. Yes, you.

I think by the end of my stint, I'll hate the backstage. AHAHHAA. My feet protest every night. At present, they look GROTESQUE !

Helloooooooo I am now taking a break (MY FEET ARE DYING) . Blogging from the lounge and I can hear RJ's band concert hurhur. Will probably reach home after 1130, am quite sleep deprived. (although not as much as my superiors, haha) Woke up at 5 on sunday, at 6 today. And I get full day shifts ! Meh. The tech people are very very nice still (: They are all hot dads/middle aged men & ladies HAHAHA. Bellies and all. One of them reminds me of dear prof hi*ggitt ! Language barrier is still a bit of a problem though. Plus their smoking habits ! =S I must say that being backstage in the theatre with twenty odd MANLY MEN is quite scary. I didn't know whether that was made weirder when I offered to help with some simple stuff, haha. Oh and I finally caught a glimpse of Ed*ward Cl*ug IN THE FLESH ! HOT ! Hahahaha. (okay I know jc is going to say that I'm objectifying men again or something) Apparently he used to look like McDreamy ! Hurhurhur. I must remember to take a photo with him.. Can't wait to see the dancers ! =X And I met the vocal soloists ! Powerrr. I love the deep timbre of the bass..

(I'm going to be here for another 2 hours, I feel really schleepy)

Okay hopefully my laptop will be my cure for boredom for the days ahead. ASSUMING I have free time. Hahaha. Once the 100+ people clutter up the hallways and our schedules with requests and such.. I'm not going to optimistic. But so far it's been pretty interesting. And I like talking to these foreigners (: Maybe this is something I can consider in future.. Tourism.. Event planning.. Hrmmms...

(yay ! ebuddy-ing !)

Hope tomorrow goes smoothly ! It's the first day of rehearsals with chorus and dancers ! (:

I really like the hamster wheel ! There's even a man 'running' in it !

Water Fools ! By Illotopie from France at Boat Quay on Saturday! We stood waiting for an hour then stood throughout the 50 minute show ! It was warm and the view wasn't great but I really loved the concept and of course, the crowd pleasing fireworks :D

***

Watched Made of Honour with minhuay, zkai, gwei and saffie. PATRICKDEMPSEY :D BORDER COLLIES :D Movie was a cliche but I quite like how the songs really complemented the scenes and created the mood. Hurhur.

Today went well, with relatively little hiccups. (: Yay, I didn't oversleep ! Don't think I should comment much just yet. OH ! I bought a pair of heels from schu for 15 BUCKS OKAY !!! 70% OFF ! HAHAHAHAHAH :D I am such a bimbo. And I got shorts from cotton on also.

HOPE I DON'T OVERSLEEP OMG ! May tomorrow go well !

(:

Omgahhh 1157pm and I want to blog about today but I shouldn't even be awake !!! Need to get up at 5 ahhhhhhh ! Hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow ! (:

Patrick Dempsey and Border Collies are a lethal combination that'd make any girl melt.

Unfortunately, my great fat mug is gracing the main portion of this log. HAHA, at least till I add another post.

Oh how I love the colour accent function ! (: Haha and db got the cheek with the dimple !

Jlow is LITTLE MISS PERKY BUTT. Not little miss demure at all haha

2/O people !!! But missing the rest of the stalkers ))):

A candid shot of almost all the guests !

I can see clearly now the rain is gone. (okay fine, it didn't rain today)

Harrison Ford is a handsome old fogey ! It's not the young guy I'm blowing the kiss to !

((: Bright lights and red backsides.

Blue moooooon.. You saw me standing alone..

Can you imagine my horror when I woke up slightly past noon today ?! Probably the first time in months !!! MORE IMPORTANTLY, I MISSED THE FIRST QUARTER OF MYTHBUSTERS !!! So in my woozy state, I stumbled to the living room and flipped the tv on. Haha. I must get my daily dose !

'Twas jlow's surprise birthday party ! Pity cherr and slin couldn't make it ): It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be (cos sk and I were the only people from our gang). During the candle blowing, someone asked jlow to smile and estee just shouted THAT IS GROTESQUE ! Hahahahaha omg, the word of the day is GROTESQUE !!! And I got to eat stingray ! Yum (:

We left around 9ish, just in time to be the last patron at SWEET TALK in hougang point ! HOHO. MY BUBBLE TEA CRAVING WAS SATISFIED. Glee. Much phototaking ensued, hurhur.

And just because kittens are the CUTEST THINGS EVER (alongside almost all baby animals), I koped some of cedric's well taken photos (KUDOS!!!) and made a lolcat comic ! (: (:


I want to read alice in wonderland ! And draw something really pretty based on the disney cartoon. Mmkays, it's 0340 hours. I hope I am not late for the movie tomorrow ! Oh, and I actually saved an entry about some of my thoughts on whaling in my drafts. I don't know, am trying to be intellectual. HAHA. Maybe it'll see the light of day. Maybe not. And can you believe that I've been wanting to understand what the subprime mortgage crisis is about ? I think my econs teachers ngpua*ysan and wtan will be soooo proud of me ! I just don't like the nonsensical mathematical/graphical part econs. Especially not microecons. I prefer studying the international economy. Oh and market failure. Lols.

Most of today in pictures..



I really like this photo I took from inside a bus. The rain created this tear-y, rather dreamy effect. (: So much of the red.. Makes me think of the song 'Bleeding Love'..

Howard pinching zkai's fries !


ICE CREAM :D Saffie and Aggie tickled orangey pink..

Haha, the SAF08 sign that attracted unwanted attention on the way home.

***

Briefing wasn't too long.. I'm attached mostly to the maribor tech crew. Which means it's very unexciting in the middle of the day. I'm not sure what I'll be doing actually. =/ But it also means ferrying them from the airport this sunday at 635am. GAHHHH. And they usually have to be at the esplanade by 830am and they only leave at what, 11 ? =S But things will be very packed for me for R&J..

Met aggie, saffie, zkai and howard for dinner. Xiany the organiser had to work overtime. =S And we were so dissatisfied after pasta at waraku ! The portion was wayyy pathetic and expensive. >( So we had ice cream at swensen's, hurrah ! Okay it's just nice to hang out sometimes, we don't need to do anything fantastic (: Dimsum sooooon !

Tomorrow will be spent tv-ing, reading, shopping for a gift and partying at night ! Unless we get bored then we'll make a getaway, haha.

Take care yuklum ((: Keep the faith !

You know, I don't think I'm alone in this but thanks to msn, so many people and faces and experiences have been reduced to just nicknames. The little pop ups are a constant reminder of awkwardness due to the lack of initiative and effort at both ends. I think it's interesting because this initiative and effort stems/stemmed largely from some kind of motive. Often people are added not merely to keep in contact and all but to fulfil other purposes. Projects and schoolwork or certain groups. Msn is an avenue for work and as hard as you try sometimes, work people aren't always play people. So chatting becomes an important tool for discussion of assignments or even networking and negotiating. It is difficult to bring oneself across this boundary. Perhaps due to the fact that one does not want or bother to associate with said associate beyond matters of work. I think this has also to do with the duration of projects. Especially if you're not tied to a certain person, the propensity to interact socially is limited. I think this is really quite true of some of the fass people. We all take very different modules so we make friends for the sake of completing groupwork in the span of 3 months. And that is it. Assignment related talk most of the time, superficial banter occasionally and sporadic insightful (but ultimately insufficient to propel the relationship) conversations at best. Hello, goodbye. And as quickly as it arrived, the smile vanishes. Similarly, the necessity of that particular msn contact. All that remains are words in the form of a nickname that might illicit a chuckle or pique curiosity but ultimately are like post-it reminders of a time past that holds little relevance to the present or future.

Whilst the purely professional contacts are one thing, there are also the purely 'recreational' contacts. Those that you add in hopes of cultivating something significant and conjuring some semblance of a future. I think this is just me. HAHAHA. But yes. I've complained about this before. Soon my interest wanes (as always.. most of the time due to lack of reciprocity) and they become figments of my imagination. Or a mere fragment of my circle of 'friends'. Encounters that in a month I will look back on and laugh- at myself.

And I really dislike it you know. I dislike that I am like them, another stupid nickname on their msn contact list. Someone who is perpetually online but useless. Preserved for the sake of last time's brilliance or excitement. I am tempted to delete the people I hardly speak to. I don't want to be reminded that I am of little consequence.

But still. They exist. They exist behind their screens just as they exist in the form of a string of words on one's screen. Whether by choice or by circumstance, we choose for them to leave an imprint. But it is no indelible mark. Without the context, it is difficult to find motivation or some compelling reason to sustain or pursue this relationship. And I believe there are only a few brave souls out there who reach far back to bring the past into the present by way of a simple 'hello' on msn.

Which makes me just think about how as we grow older, the friendships, whatever-ships we start are based on very different things. There are underlying tensions and intentions, a sense of triviality almost. Maybe because most/some of us have others to 'fall back on'. An already strong group of girlfriends, a clingy boyfriend, a spouse and family, that we see no reason to take newfound -ships seriously enough to build them up. Or maybe we rationalize, knowing that history can never be replaced and hence most of your time is devoted to bosom buddies who've know you since you were a wee bairn. So no energy to dissipate equally to so many good pals.

I don't know why I'm thinking about all this now at 3am. Just that I think it'd be really nice if I could hear the rest of pten's opinions. I really like our deep talks as much as our nonsensical ones. Or anything coming from anyone who reads this actually. (since I think only about 20 people have access and I don't just let any tom dick or harry read this haha) All this stemming from my msn observations, haha. Oh wells.. Am quite tired. Shall try to read abit before turning in...

I think we all need some happy talk.

The peranakan museum ! (:

Haji Lane~

On the way to Zamzam at bugis ! My first time..

Xunny who was gamely tried to finish the huuuge murtabak

Qua, your tudung looks fine !! Haha..

***
Am currently reading Gregory Galloway's As Simple As Snow. It's been really interesting so far. All the unanswered questions makes you want to rush through everything to find the answers. And I tell you, if I don't get my answers, I will get ANGRY. Hahaha ! Of course I learnt in en1101 (omg, I learnt something !!!) that even ambiguities and non-answers are loaded with meanings.

I remember telling qua and xunny that I think the only reason I'd want to have kids is so I can dress them up pretty. =X I'm better off with animals right ? Hurhur. Xunny was saying that if her kid was whining up a storm and being a brat, she'd refrain from smacking him/her and go, 'oh you're being so horrible but at least you're pretty...' Haha, oh dear. Like corinna mentioned once before, pretty girls get away with murder.

Okay need to bathe and head off for the r&j + archi of silence briefing ! Am quite excited and am wondering if we're being renumerated for all these briefing hours. =X HAHA.

I shall procrastinate no longer. Since there is no one to entertain me online, I shall 'pen' the post mortem for VoyAJe 08.

To be completely honest, I never intended to join the choir alumni. Partly because I wasn't too excited about a repertoire of 'cheapo' songs (although I do love many pop songs of that nature) but mostly because I really could not see myself forging a comfortable bond with the existing members due to the fact that their mannerisms are very different from mine. I mean, to begin with, their lingua franca is mandarin. Already I thought myself at a loss. (I must stress though, that all these were preconceived notions and perceptions) That also meant that they're generally more inclined (qualifying here !) to chinese pop music and taiwanese/korean drama serials. Plus, they probably had about 2 years worth of inside jokes. Lols. But you get the gist. I couldn't see myself clicking with them and this would not be very encouraging to music making. After all, as much as we all share the passion for singing, it helps to have people who you can connect with, a family you are comfortable being around.

Oh and (I just remembered) partly also because I did not want to feel obliged to stay on. Especially with cg's powers of persuasion, lols.

Anyhoo, I really don't know exactly what made me change my mind. Partly because I felt guilty. It was cheeguan's great idea to volunteer us (malcolm, tmx, dj, yl and I) as alumni representatives for the amadeus collaboration even though we weren't part of the alumni. Haha.. So you can say that the whole reason I'm even in amadeus is kinda thanks to cg. Hence I thought it'd be nice to return the favour. Partly also because it's the esplanade. (No shit ! the Esplanade pwnz !) Mostly because the juniors were quite excited about it. I remember gpt convincing us at ya kun in j8 after we watched juno. I guess it made the decision easier because most importantly, I had people whom I could connect with.

On a related note, I guess that's why I'm closer to my juniors than my seniors. Cos they aren't as 'cheena' so we have more similarities ? Haha, language is that important...

So that fine morning, gwei and I stepped into amkcc BRIGHT AND EARLY and were stunned by an empty room save for three old (unfamiliar) men- lw, jc & ryan. =X I think from then on we knew that tardiness wasn't a huge issue lols. =X

I just went to check my archives and this was what I found. Dated March 1st.

My first alumni prac today and it was quite an interesting and different experience I must say. I think it's not bad, we at least get stuff done. Even though yuklum is so playful. Hahah, okay but she entertains me with gossip.. The songs are really nice ! (: But I suppose quite a challenge considering the current strength. But singing is almost always fun so yeah

Wow. 2.5 months. Although my first official 'foray' into alumni was the CNY steamboat which I gamely invited myself to (to accompany gw I think). Haha.. I think the j7s had no idea who I was. And I mistook liping for yanting the whole night ! =X

So yes, I must really applaud nad for the choice of repertoire. It was challenging yet fun and interesting. (: (oh this is becoming a very lengthy post!) But yesg, two months passed in a blink. Largely due to the nonsensical projects and essays that I had to deal with. But you know, I looked forward to alumni practices. It was a time and place where I could destress and do something that I love with good company.

Perhaps the extra perks along the way also fueled the fire but that's another story. Haha !

The showcase for k*wei was quite daunting for all of us. Personally because I'd been on an exam hiatus and particularly because we didn't have the full strength. Plus, I guess we didn't think our joking around all the past what, 5 or so pracs (not even for those who joined after italy) would amount to something of 'passable' standard. But hey, we surprised ourselves. (: Not saying that his standard should be our only benchmark, but musically we kiiiinda trust him so it was really a huge confidence booster. I think that extra dose of confidence made us believe in ourselves more and take the music more seriously. Maybe it was reverse psychology. HAHA.

And just about two weeks after that, concert day. Almost endless camwhoring (though I wish I took more photos ): ) and feeling at ease backstage. The concert day excitement is really contagious. And singing on stage ? Like I said, if vocalizing your lungs (diaphragm) out to a thousand odd crowd doesn't send the adrenaline rushing, I don't know what will. Hence our two songs that went by in a flash. Seriously, redred was abnormally fast and I barely had time to breathe in doubledouble. Especially towards the end when the A2s have to repeat the 'by the pricking of my thumbs'. Lols, I was so anxious about not losing the note that I barely snatched a breath. Haha !

But apart from the speed, I think we really made an effort to stretch the song expressions wise. And for that, we must really thank jiemin, nad and CG for their interpretations and their conducting efforts ! :D And also JK who gave pointers (: It was great how everyone was interested in shaping the music..

I guess I was initially very worried about the progress. Especially because of the relaxed atmosphere of practices, many things weren't being retained or improvements weren't as great as they could be. But I guess that's pretty normal with er most choirs haha and things steadily improved.

And like CG said (my paragraphs are shorter already, I'm very sleepy... =X), there has been a lot of progress for the alumni. I was definitely not part of it's infancy but I've heard enough stories from yl to know that it's heading out to open waters, pushing itself towards bigger things. I guess it's this natural progression thingy.. After you attain this certain level, you are inclined to even bigger things. Though it doesn't mean you completely discount the little things that made you who you are.

So I don't know what this brings me to. Currently, I'm open to almost everything because it's the HOLI-HOLIDAYS !!! As long as it doesn't clash with work. But once school starts (GROAN), I'll have to make some choices. I don't know, I'm a commitment phobe. =X But I'm pretty sure of a few things. Firstly, the alumni really has some very decent people I can talk to. Though maybe not go all crazy hyper squeal-y and hoohah with but friendly nonetheless. (maybe because I'm quite friendly sometimes?) So positive perceptions have significantly increased. Secondly, a huge deciding factor will be the presence of the other juniors. =S I still feel a bit insecure if they aren't around. But as to whether they'll be sticking around, I don't know if hearts and impressions have changed since the concert but we'll see. Lastly, the experience not only created new friendships but also made existing ones firmer. Through banner making, present buying, lunch eating and song singing. (:

Mmms yes, impressions have indeed changed. I'm missing it all now and I have so many people to thank. But I really don't think I've seen the end of it all.

One important fact remains. I love to SING ! :)

Omgah, 0140 hours. Exhausted. Peranakan Museum with my aunt today and then had ENORMOUS prata and walked around bugis with qua and xunny. I got new library books too ! Hurrah ! Okay may tomorrow be a day as great as today ! Every holiDAY is great :D

Acid bar. Yay for auto ISO adjustment !!! DB we missed you ! Live music wasn't fabulous. Timbre/Wala/Jazz@Southbridge next time okayyy. (: Company was gooood though ! Hopefully there's time to meet next week with full attendance !

Am exhausted and broke. Going to spend most of the day out tomorrow too.. But really, I feel excited about work. I hope it won't give me reasons to be OVERLY stressed and cranky.

I've yet to watch Ironman. And I want to watch Indiana Jones ! I quite like action movies ! But I don't like not knowing what's going on so I have to go watch the prequels ? =S

Patience is really not my forte. But I will try. I want to try drawing a few more totoros.. I think I shall cross hatch. Perhaps thursday or friday. I also want to catch the arts fest opening performance of water fools at clarke quay ! Seems really different and interesting..

Okay, and I feel as if all intellect is slowly slipping away from me this hols. (wait, what intellect ? =X hurhur) I shall try to read the fiction I have at home ! Oh, and I wonder if the libraries have Ha Jin's latest book...

Schleepy. At this rate, I'll never post my post mortem of voyAJe 08. =X

I'm pretty lazy to provide the commentary at this hour so photos should suffice for now.

Pyong is round and laughing ! She has one of the weirdest laughs !

Everyone was in very high spirits (: Pre-concert euphoria ! Plus it's the esplanade ! So lots of Happy Talk going on, hurhur.

I like this photo of terrence but I did not like his all white ensemble (which created the effect for this photo ironically, lols).

Selene is so cute okay ! I am her stalker. Haha !

Colin & Kenneth ! Tenor homies ! Colin looks scary, haha..

Gwei and ryan fooling around !

I have such a fat face compared to gerald's. PAH.

Mirror shot ! I liiike. With yuklum pouting, hurhur.

I must say this before I forget. My sister was talking to her pw groupmate Tommy on the phone and the minute she said his name, I shouted, 'Where are the rest of your power ranger friends ? It's morphin time !!!!!!!' HAHAHAHAHA. Omg, I was so amused okay. And then my sister and I were trying to recall the names of the dinozords and instead of Mastodon (belonging to the black ranger), I kept insisting it was MAMMOTH !!!! AHAHAHAHA! Gosh, super funny. The first few seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Those were the days...

And and, I feel like watching all those old movie musicals by Rogers and Hammerstein !!! (((: I really really love Sound of Music. It probably jumpstarted my love for music and singing (: And Christopher Plummer is oh so charming and handsome for an old man. Shucks, maybe he's why I prefer older guys. HAHA eeks. Not thaaat old. But who's for old musicals in the esplanade library ? (:

Had a good time chatting with jq, hrk and ms z*hu today though I was really very sleepy. =/ And I am so jealous that tmx went kayaking. I want ! What happened to bukit timah plans ?!

Was surprised today on msn ! Then it all kinda went downhill. Oh wells. ): Where is the little capuchin ? They're so adorable I tell you, capuchins.. (: Shall go read wiki tomorrow on old and new world monkeys !

HELL YEAH :D

I don't know if it was our best, but I sure gave it my all. (haha, I kept telling myself to God be the glory !) The end of every major performance or competition is always bittersweet. Beginnings and ends. I'm really not too sure about the status of alumni choir for myself yet. Heck, I even have amadeus to consider. =S Okay but that (and pictures) is for another day mmms !

I love to sing :D

***

I don't know but it seems to me that I just cannot narrow it down to one. In fact, I'm inclined towards the other. At this point, it's really a matter of theory and practice. And I think that neither should be separated. =/

***

And omg what is wrong with today !? 18th May !??! Sunday of the long weekend ? It's after concerts and I hear about break ups and really emo friends and worrying blogposts about trust and feeling cheated. =S It's really quite scary.

Anyhoo, I never seem to be too tired after a concert to come online and translate thoughts into words. I'm really glad that I'm having such an action packed holiday ! Outings galore and doing things that I love, hurhur. Probably meeting jq, hrk and maybe ms z*hu. Maybe aggie and the rest ? Then stalkers on tuesday ! Hopefully pten on wednesday. First briefing on thurs for R&J plus archi of silence. Then work on sunday ! Oooohwhee, action packed indeed ! Hurhur.

Life is really quite fabulous now. Or maybe it's the post concert euphoria speaking. HAHA. (: But seriously, Thank God ! I feel so blessed. (:

Ahhhhhh, finger of birth strangled babe !!!

Zero hour approaches.

Hell yeah.

We will rock you.

:D

[msn nick has been omitted to provide privacy HAHAHA] says:
omg get him.
cos otherwise he's mine.

HAHAHAHAHA. It's the second time I've heard it and it just amuses me so.
He's the first to score an almost 4 on my cards. Smart rich cute funny. Haha ! =X
Actually come to think of it, aqm is about there too. But that one is even further away..
Already I'm on the verge of giving up. And I haven't even tried. Lols.

And always when I reflect on it, I feel like kicking myself for all the things I should have or could have done. Ah wells.

Step into my office baby~

(Haha, a quirky belle & sebastian song)

Tomorrow is approaching ! EXCITED ! (for frantic camwhoring too =X) But I'm starting to feel a bit anxious about the sound check. Am not sure whether to expect fabulous or flop. Most of the time (for me at least), the sound check has to be gross for the actual performance to be fantastic. =S Haha, I don't know ! Crosses fingers ! And bloody, the 'finger of birth strangled babe' part just scares the bejeezers outta me. I'm not sure if I'll be blogging again tonight or tomorrow morning but wish us the best ! :D I'm sure once we get a whiff of that familiar esplanade backstage smell, we'll be hopping about in excitement and anxiety. Ahh, all the little bitty parts that lead up to a performance.



Wishing and hoping and
thinking and praying,
planning and dreaming.

Okay, off to my daily dose of mythbusters !

Sometimes I just wish I can afford to study overseas.

I think the only way they'd see it would be if each year I tattooed my age on my arm.

I am not twelve years old.

Thanks to school, the last time the local charter of pten met was to celebrate qua's very belated birthday. Hurhur. Finally caught up with sally, qua and xunny to attend the cedar choir concert. It was really a gathering of quite a few ex-(choir)cedarians. The performance was a bite sized 60 minutes (the extra 15 minutes or so were encores haha) and I tell you, even after ALL THESE YEARS, ms chye is still the same. The clothes she wore to conduct =S, the kind of repertoire (a few contemporary pieces and HER FAVOURITE JAZZY NUMBERS) and most noticeably, the CHEESY ACTIONS that are in excess !!! Of course, she couldn't leave out her favourite 'wavy hands' action. See below. It appeared in two different songs. Gosh, the overdose of actions really made us cringe. =/ It was quite reminiscent of the songs we had to perform at orientation and other school events.


My three wonderfully crazy friends ! Qua looks as if she's praying to APOLLO !!! HAHAH !

But I must say, chye must have had a lot to deal with upon her return. The standard is definitely a far cry from yesteryears (say, 4/5 years back?). Even though I liked that everyone was pretty well blended in tone and there was this lightness about it (maybe I've become too used to saTB), there was a great lack of energy. No ringing soprano notes like the ones jianing and joyce produced (or even sally ! for that matter), dynamics that weren't stretched far enough.. Perhaps it was because they were quite afraid ? They are quite young and it is the esplanade after all. The concert hall has very different acoustics..

But what almost made me tear was the school song right at the end. The bunch of us seniors in the first row just stood up and sang so proudly. Choir and imoan was really quite an eventful part of Cedar, both good and bad. But you know, I'm so thankful for it because it gave me pten.

Anyway, to think we're going to sing there on sunday. Just the twenty odd of us. We've come a long way. (by that meaning er about 3 months since the day I stepped in amkcc and was greeted with a room empty except for three old men haha) To a crowd of over a thousand. If that's not going to get the adrenaline rushing (and the speed of double double as well), I don't know what will.

Hell yeah.

***

Went for the saf08 LO briefing today. I don't think I'm cut out for 2 hour long boardroom meetings. I'm too fidgety for that. =/ So I got my assignments and I'm glad that I'll be working with a familiar face (yuanzhi !) and a new friend (eunice ! she looks a lot like kaihui). I'll be LO with yz and eunice and another girl joycelyn for the architecture of silence and they're the biggest group in the fest with 155 people comprising of dancers, instrumentalists and singers. Then I'll be handling radio and juliet on my own. They're a slovenian ballet and I'm a bit worried cos I'm on my own and I know nothing about dance. I can't dance. =/ BUT CAN YOU SAY HOT BODS ?!?!?! Hahaha ! Hope there'll be eye candy. Then it's FA for small metal objects at vivocity which should be quite interesting seeing as how I took 2224 just this sem and the play's about how society marginalises those who are impaired, rendering them disabled. And the australian troupe's made up of people with intellectual disabilities. Finally to round up my fest experience, london sifonietta with eunice.

Heading to the esplanade for a site recce tomorrow. It's probably going to give me pre-sunday shivers and jitters. Good or bad or both I don't know. Haha, maybe I'll get a sense of the vibe there mmms.. It all sounds REALLY EXCITING but at the same time, very stressful. We're the first points of contact between the council and the artistes. Hope all goes well and it'll be a June well spent !

Oh, I dreamt the other night that whilst I was eating, two of my teeth fell out. I think it's a signal for me to visit the dentist.

Db's right. I can see it quite clearly now actually. I just now need to know what to do. HAHAHA. Which has always been the difficult part.

TALKING TO JC MAKES ME VERY STRESSED !!! WHY IS HE SO SERIOUS !? I feel as if I've been/am too naive and gullible ! I'm not so much upset with the circumstances I am caught up in (outlined below). I'm more concerned with the people who are truly suffering in the process then for myself. And ayes dammit, I'm not doing anything ! I should volunteer tuition services ! Still, my passions lie with the environment and the earth. Although I am all for helping underprivileged kids here and elsewhere. Okay, when I become that benevolent and charitable, I'll let you know.

But yes, I've discussed this with some of pten before. I find that we lead relatively very very fortunate and sheltered lives. Singapore is such a small world for us. It is precisely because we are mainstream and not deviant that we are not marginalised. So we are not disadvantaged. And because of that, we choose to be comfortable and remain within boundaries. I find it difficult to empathise with those who have been sidelined to other paths or routes or circles. Which brings me to how much we take for granted our positions. Even if they may be positions of naivety. I couldn't understand earlier why graces and xunny wouldn't bring up their children here. It makes sense now. They've both lived in australia for a while and so it makes sense for them to compare. I don't know how much better (or worse) life is out there for me. And I guess for starters, it makes sense because my expectations and dreams are limited to that which I know of.

Which just brings me to how I was talking to adel just now and she was lamenting how her dreams are not HER dreams. They're the dreams of society, of the everyman in this country. They are only her ideals because it is what is expected of us to work towards. How true, I find. Who doesn't want to make big bucks, be frivolous all their life without having to toil away for it ? You know, when I was young I used to have these huge, ridiculously idealistic dreams. I can only remember two right now. One, to find a cure for cancer. Two, to win the Nobel prize. HAHAHAHA OMG. Mad right ? Although it makes sense cos 1 will lead to 2.

But anyway, I realize that what I want to do is increasingly moulded by society rather then self. From vet to lawyer to journalist to teacher to.. I have seriously no idea. Still. Haha. Somehow, somewhere along the way I lost the ability to dream big. To be creative. Now I only plough through options that are feasible and realistic. And you know how much I hate being uncreative and unoriginal. So it's ironic.

I'm still trying to figure it out.

Also, it's interesting how the scary conversation with jc eventually ended with some equally thoughtful musings (even though I was trying to steer it into a more lighthearted, frivolous, 'bel like' conversation haha) about people and friendships that tied in very nicely with the deep talk I had with adel. I was remarking about how sometimes people don't bother to see past the surface. Was discussing with adel that sometimes you feel as if people don't really try to get to know you. They aren't truly interested in your views of the world or even contesting them. I think to a some extent, it is important to a lasting friendship. It is some kind of emotional and intellectual intimacy surrounding both the small stuff and also the bigger things. To take a functional perspective, HAHAHAHA it enforces some solidarity. And plus, it gives you an indication of people's directions in life. New avenues for consideration, new alternatives for exploration. It also gives insight on people's dreams. Their ambitions, fears, desires. I'm not saying that every dark, dirty secret needs to be revealed but at least a tiny portion of bared soul. That raw, truthfulness does indicate a trust that I find so very important in relationships. And of course, it definitely must not be one sided. That's what irks me sometimes. That in the end, as much as people wear one chamber of their heart on a sleeve, they turn away from the honesty at your lips. They find no gratification in being interested in others and as a result do not accord their friend with that kind of release. That's quite sad really. Give and take. Never one sided, never selfish.. Always reflecting, examining, catching oneself to ask with sincerity and concern.

How difficult and complicated -ships are.

And after all that, maybe that's just only me. Only a solitary person's mentality. How does that one person find kindred spirits if there is no one who feels the same and reveals that he does so ?

Must really thank (and appreciate) adel for sharing that little bit with me :D Just want to let you know that as much as I goshdarnit hate to plan for outings, I always find myself doing so because I care enough that we all meet ! Hopefully, we'll all make an effort to draw closer.. Love <3 (:

And also uncle limjc ! For making the effort to impress upon me some stark realities. I know I'm still very difficult in this area. And probably am going to be for awhile. That plus, I think I'm one of the lucky (ahem) few whom he unleashes his scariness upon ! Haha..

***

Okay, many many words for an entry that was originally supposed to be frivolous about the cedar choir concert. Tomorrow tomorrow ! I really hope I don't oversleep.. Hahahhaa. It was great meeting up with sally, qua and xunny after so long though ! Next week ayes !

ON A VERY BRIGHT NOTE, MICHELLE TANG WEI TING IS SAFE AND SOUND :D Praise God ! (: Thankfully, she was quite far from the epicentre, in another city. We shall all meet up soon !!

Life. Home. Urban/Digitalife. Main section. Everyday I read the papers in that order. Actually I mostly just skim through headlines, look at pictures and read their captions. =X But anyway, when I read that there was a major earthquake in Chengdu, I got really worried. Because mich is doing her OCIP there (not sure where exactly) and slated to arrive back home today. I've texted her but no reply. I really really really pray that she will return home safe.

***

Finished drawing out a 4-frame comic strip. It's not as easy as it looks ! Hurhur, am proud of self ! Originally planned to just laze around my house with db. We had lunch at the compasspoint kopitiam, blew 15 bucks in total at the arcade, checked out CDC's rates at kovan, had my half price waffle at gelare (OMG FINALLY!!!!!!!), browsed the pretty but body shape/size discriminating clothes in COAX at hougang, lazed around a bit at my place and got db hooked on super crazy guitar maniac deluxe 2 ! Haha !

Originally planned to watch Battlestar Galactica on central but I'm quite tired. So I think I shall try it out on sidereel tomorrow. I'm quite excited about this weekend. I really wonder how we'll sound in the esplanade concert hall. Hope I don't look too unglam in the last pose !

I'm going all wonky. LOSING IT, I TELL YOU. Sk can testify to that, lols. It's rather comforting to know that I'm not the only one flailing about and being all...spongebob-ish. For want of a better word. Okay, a milder, watered down version. Meep.

THE SITE HUNG ON ME !!! I took what, an hour to create it ? ))): So I had to 'print screen'. Okay the internet is losing its appeal. Especially when it's not tuesday or friday.

This is BAAAD. Really. Plus, I still don't know what to do. Haha, yeah I always find myself in such iffyness.

Oh gosh, it seems that now db and I are discussing sex appeal and she's asking me to rank the 8574w8957 eye candies I had/have. And seriously, I think I my taste is generally not mainstream and I have considerably low expectations. AHHAHA. =X

I was feeling extremely lazy and plus I was already late (and watching some nat geo programme on lithology) so I almost didn't head to city hall to meet the ccp people. Haha I think it's pretty great that we're comfortable with each other even now, 3 months after the project.. Gay friends are so amusing. It's funny how we talk about cute boys.. And joel is just so intelligent ! And he said that I'm hot ! HAHAHAHA. Why is he gay !?!? Lols.

Left to meet jianqi for an early dinner.. It was nice catching up with him also and it's a pity hrk couldn't join us.. Hopefully we can all meet to cycle one day. Is anyone planning a DAFC outing ?!?!?!?!

Made baked rice for mothers' day ! Mushrooms instead of carrots. Hoho, success once again (: I want to try heading down to kovan to register for BTT. I haven't heard of anyone learning at CDC but they provide lessons at sengkang so it's more convenient hrms.. I'll be mostly vegetating though. Haha ! And maybe drawing some more because it brings quite a lot of satisfaction.. I think I'll try more ghibli yeah.. But I dislike drawing eyes. I always seem to screw them up.

Okay which of my wonderful friends want to climb bukit timah with me ? :DDD And (ironically thanks to lit) I feel like watching the King Lear project !

I'm so amused by what gwei and I are caught up in and have been shaken around with. Howhowhow...

Normal A4 printing paper is SO NOT APPROPRIATE for watercolours. =X But I do so love the convenience of faber castell water colour pencils. Was feeling very restless and online isn't too exciting and tadah ! This is the result. The real thing looks so much better though. Happy ! Though I'm not too sure what to do with it...

***

Practice today was really tiring partly because we were outside and it was really warm ! But I think we elaborated red red rose and kinda internalised the phrasing and stuff. For double double, we cleaned up the rhythm (though now speed may start to be an issue) and added the action at the end. Haha.

After lunch at amk hub (the third time this week !) I joined my aunts in town. Got MAC foundation that's my shade ! Hoho, no more unnaturally pale face during performances ! I might be going to either ho chi minh or bali with aunty imm ! Sounds exciting, hurhur. I still want to go to bangkok though hello !

Am still in a quandary about the other one. And in a sense, there isn't much time left. Oh what to do what to do......

I opened today with Jesus Christ Superstar on dvd and I must admit that I don't know all the details. =/ Especially the parts with Pilate and Herod and the other two priest dudes. And the songs are a stark contrast to the very lyrical stuff of phantom and even joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat. Although I still really like Superstar and I Don't Know How To Love Him..

Then I met saffie and pyong to get the shirt for concert. I'm determined not to wear a boring one and look like a waitress. And I tell you, we were going positively mad !!! HAHAHA. Mandarin collars and messages that took so long to be replied. =X Finally a dash of courage and a phone call did the trick. You go, pyong ! (:

I discovered that I didn't particularly love victorian-esque frills but was fortunate enough to find one with very unique diagonals ! Gwei (whom we met later) thinks it's very me. Haha, I like crisp lines sometimes. Unfortunately, saffie and pyong didn't like it. ))): I didn't like what they thought looked good on me. =X But all of us made our purchases and so we won't be eaten up tomorrow ! Haha..

Pyong and I met gwei later to collect the alumni shirts. (which at this point, I'm wondering when I'll even wear it =X) And we had a really fab time gossiping and bitching. Some rather saddening revelations. Can't say I didn't see it coming but I mean.. Still, it's just sad I suppose. Feeling a teeny bit cheated. Ah wells..

I'm still quite worried about how one by one I (by choice sometimes) lose people I thought were rather good friends. Really makes me think that I am equipped with some seriously fatal (kinda undetectable?) flaw. (like how most technology I touch goes bonkers after a while.. SERIOUSLY) Conversely, maybe those people were just never really genuine and I was just someone that was too oblivious (nice perhaps ? hahaha) just 'used' for their selfish reasons. Whilst I made emotional investments. (as I do with all good friendships) Ah wells. It still kind of bugs me because I don't want it to happen with my friends now. Ayes.

I feel like learning wakeboarding after watching the supersized episode of mythbusters. Hahaha I think I'll lose a lot of weight just strapping the board on. And maybe struggling to float. Lols. In other news, my blonde streak is now violet ! :D

Quotes from Scrubs because they're so random.

remember what you heard when you weren't even listening

and

just like one hit wonder natalie imbruglia, I'm torn.

Hahaha ! Not really. I just want both. Actually, just one is more than sufficient. But of course, it'll be great to have a solid shot at the other, lols.

Acappella on youtube always impresses and inspires me. (: Just listened to versions of Stacey's Mom, Toto, Under Pressure, Don't Stop Believing and a kick ass version of 12 days of Christmas !!! :D

The hols have been FABULOUS so far :D Tired and Michael Cassio is running out of battery. Plus I'm watching the mythbusters two hour special at this unearthly hour of 230am. Hahaha. Okay, my brains have been fried thanks to jiechao the future terrorist/fugitive. Shush. Till another fantastic tomorrow ! (:

:D :D

Okay this song is suggestive lyrics but Queen really rocks still ! Hahaha, hell yeah I'm going to have a good time !

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva

Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call (can potentially sound wrong eh ? lols)
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload (er.. no not me !)
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode (=S omg, can you imagine zhanyong's critique of this ?)

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me hey hey hey!
Don't stop me don't stop me ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me don't stop me
Have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me Ah

intrigued is the word. =/

On another note, I AM SUPER SAD THAT I DIDN'T GET TO PARTY TONIGHT WITH SIR ELTON WITH XUNNY DEAR !

A MILLION SAD FACES HERE ))))))):

It wasn't as tough as I thought it'd be. Lucky there was no compulsory question on 'nation'. Actually, it was major crapfest for the first two questions. HAHA. So what else is new ? Can hardly contain my excitement ! Only tourism left !!! By the time I post my next entry, IT'LL BE THE FREAKING HOLIDAYYYYYY AND THE END OF MY FIRST YEAR AND NUFREAKINGS :D TILL THEN :D

Wish me luck for tourism ! (:

Bel is excited :D

Tomorrow is going to fly by in a jiffy and I'll be left with tourism !!!! Hope 2224 won't be too scary.. And that the prof won't be so anal about readings and specific examples with author and year published cited.

I just saw something on the alumni blog tagboard that made me laugh. HAHAHA.

Just read the paper on bodily bigness and I gleaned some interesting stuff about how bigness is always seen as something that is outside convention and needs to be constrained/restrained by covering up with tent-like clothing and it's more of feeling comfortable with ourselves, some sort of inner confidence.. So even though I'm neither by 'conventional standards' slim nor a size 16, it helps to just be comfortable with whatever I choose..

Anyhoo, made banana milkshakes today ! Damn, feels as if my papers are over. Still can't get over the fact that I can't watch elton john. Sigh sigh sigh.

Crosses fingers for 2224.

Discovery Channel is such an important part of my life now. Seriously. I structure my study time around mythbusters okay. The one hour slot ties in with lunch and maybe a nap after that. Haha.. And sidereel is just the bestest ever ! Don't know what I'll do without it.

Am more worried for social geog than tourism. =/ The format is really very sucky. 2 compulsory shorts and a long essay from a choice of THREE. THREE ONLY. OUT OF LIKE, 8 TOPICS. WHAT IS THIS. DAMN. Whines.

Okay no one and I really mean no one wants to watch Elton John ! ))))))): Am so sad.. Especially knowing that most of the seats have been sold. Meaning it's not just another fuddy duddy lame boyband concert. MEOOOW. I can only hope that he lives forever and comes back to singapore so I can hopefully drag my future other half to watch him ! Or maybe then xunny and I will be rich enough ! Hopefully ! You better pass the bar exam xunny !

I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait ! I just want to go out all day everyday ! Except of course, when I'm not at home watching mythbusters/samantha who/how i met your mother/the office/scrub or drawing or spring cleaning or reading (I've gwei's mitch alboms still and the latest alex rider, snakehead !!!! woots !) And oh gosh, I suddenly feel oh so broke. Haha..

Tory is still cute ! Hurhurhur.

The internet is goshdarnit evil. And I love Rachel Bilson's fashion sense.

http://kevan.org/johari?name=christiebellee

I created this ages ago ! Back when I still had diaryland maybe, hahaha. Came across it on nad's blog.. All inputs are welcome (:

2 PAPERS MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can hardly wait !
2221 looks promising. But it also means that everyone else found it promising, lols. Pak Jan and Thomas were just being mad and totally informal, lols.

I want a pair of onitsuka tigers ! But they're at least a hundred and thirty bucks, bah. =S And I found mythbusters on sidereel ! Hohohoho.

I'd very much like to reject reality and substitute my own dumbed down, 'bel' version of it. I guess I kinda am seeing as how I'm acting as if exams have ended. Darn it bel ! Wake up and smell the... bonang panerus or something ! (gamelan instrument)

Okay I have to make sure I really earn lotsa moolah to make up for all my (present/future) spending !!! Am already making a list (how 'me' is that ? haha) of things to do and buy. Including beaching, climbing bukit timah (unfulfilled since last holiday mans !), plum coloured skinnies, new court shoes, shoes.. Hahaha. And a holiday ! I want an island holiday !

6 days more !!!!!!

I underestimated how long it'd take to print remaining readings and slides for 2221 and 2224. I started printing proper close to ten and now it's close to 1am. RAWR. I had to manually flip my paper because I'm determined to print on both sides and save forests.

Totally forgot tomorrow's labour day. Hope I'm not too distracted with my family at home. Shall extract key points from readings and go through slides and cross fingers for seasian music ! Then it's full steam ahead with GEOGRAPHY. I actually found Valentine's chapter on the Street quite interesting. It was easy to digest (despite being 30+ pages long) and in non-convoluted english. Hopefully the other readings are as bel-friendly.

You know, just two months (or so) ago, the weather was freezing ass cold with rain everyday. Now it's bloody warm !!! This just goes to show that global warming is warping the weather more so than usual ! CONSERVE, PEOPLE !

Funny, I don't like being unable to stop myself. Horrible trend this one is.
