I had a really great day yesterday. Felt so happy to be able to meet up with so many people within 12 hours. I even bought something when Del and I went shopping. Yay, that always brings a big smile to a girl's face :)

Pictures should be up of Weng and Jun's (haha inside joke) birthday get together soon. My internet is not being kind to me. I've attempted to upload the pictures on Facebook more than 5 times now, all of which failed. Ahhh. It'll be up...eventually.

I think everyone should listen to Earth, Wind and Fire and groove till the sun comes up

musique iz ze love

"[In life,] I am a coward. In music, I am brave."


I read that on a myspace blog written by Dia Frampton, singer in the band called Meg and Dia. What she said really caught my eye, cos I feel the same way.

When I'm up on stage, or even singing a song in one of those Youtube videos I do for kicks, I get lost in the music and I don't feel like myself in real life. Suddenly I am this person who's not afraid of being who I am completely, or expressing a certain emotion that I would never show in person.


I love that Music gives me the freedom and space that I need.

all i do is lay around...

You know the feeling of being burned out? It happens to me quite a lot lately. No good man. Must. not. procrastinate.

And by procrastinate, I mean watching TV, Youtube videos, lazing around, chatting online... I don't actually do things that bore me when I procrastinate though, so I'm really thinking procrastinating isn't so bad. Except the fact that I'm not getting anything "important" done (assignment deadlines, presentation work, etc). And I guess I admit that if I were to procrastinate forever, my brains would be of little use in the future.

So bottom line is, procrastinating is fine. In moderation :)

Blackberry

Been really really thinking of checking out Blackberrys lately. What first caught my eye was when I was reading Joyce Wong aka KinkyBlueFairy's blog when she wrote about how much she loved her Blackberry. Then I also read a good review from someone else's blog. And then I found out that Jie Ying just recently got one as well. So that was when I started checking out its features.


Well, both my parents got an iphone and they love it. They keep telling me I should really get one, but somehow I just feel that the Blackberry would be sufficient for me, seeing as I'm not really interested in all the funky applications for the iphone (games and all). I'm just looking for something I can surf the net with without having to look for the nearest computer lab or lug my laptop around.

Anyways I'm still thinking about it. Thoughts anyone?

nyeh

I'm starting to feel really less feminine nowadays.

Yesterday I got a haircut, and the man who was cutting my hair made many...many comments. "Your hair is very dry, you must use a serum after you wash your hair. You should also apply mask on your hair every two weeks or so." And he goes on, in this tone of disbelief as to how bad my hair was, although he complimented my natural-looking waves.

Anyway, I mean what does that tell you about how much of a girl I am? And to be told by a man! sigh.

Then today, I drove over to BSC to buy a new swimming suit right, and at the shop, I looked at the sizes and wasn't sure WHAT exactly they measured. 28, 30, 32, 36... I was like "Eh?" and since there were no women assistants around, I had to ask (yet another) man,

and he said, "Oh... uh... It is actually the uh, chest size."

"Oh."


So. Awkward. aiyo.


How do I not know so many girly things that guys seem to know better. Really quite worrying, isn't it?

i stand here unashamed

wow i just learned how to post videos on my blog, how awesome am i. anyway i wanted to share this with you guys, the lyrics are very meaningful to me and remind me to have faith when things get tough. hope you're all well. xo

dreams

sorry you haven't been hearing from me, peeps.

but today i felt inspired to write. after a month. but this will be a quickie (i think)

i've been having really vivid dreams. they feel so real. it's been four nights in a row now, and they involve different people in each of them, but some of the same people in all four.

some claim that dreams are a way of dealing with/reflecting on your daily up's and down's, or whatever's been on your mind lately. in the case of the dreams i've been having, i'd say this claim is fairly true, though not entirely.

i've been dreaming a lot too. well, not just in my sleep, i mean. dreaming about what i want to do in my life. dreaming both big and small. it brings about mixed emotions really. excitement, fear, joy, sadness.

well anyway as you can see, this thing about "dreams" has been quite significant in my life lately. they're just kinda always there, some part of the day. sometimes more than usual. i used to be a big dreamer when i was in school, but then it kind of got lost, and now i guess it's back again.

the first song i wrote was called "dream." or "dreaming," can't remember

i still believe that you should never stop dreaming. somehow it defines who you are inside, something that's just bursting to come out, and if you put it off, one day it might be gone. so, my advice, don't be afraid to dream. really. cos you never know... it might become a reality.
