Kelly Clarkson performing ‘Impossible’, off her album ‘All I Ever Wanted’ at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 27 April 2010 as part of her ‘All I Ever Wanted’ World tour.

I had the opportunity of seeing Kelly Clarkson live just this past Tuesday, courtesy of a friend who’d won a pair of tickets to her concert. She was incredible live, and showed us why she is THE American Idol. I was enjoying myself so much I almost fell over while jumping on the stairs. Lol. I didn’t really bother to capture pictures or videos because we were in the seats but I managed to record this one of her performing Impossible from her latest album, which she co-wrote with Ryan Tedder.

Got this on a quiz I took on Facebook...

2010-04-24T01:29:00.000+08:00

...and I would say that it is a pretty accurate description.

You are really your own person! You love just being yourself. You have your highs and your lows but you always stay loyal to who you really are. You don't care about fitting in with the crowd or keeping up with trends. (Often you realize you are way ahead of them anyways!) You are your own person! This is the best thing you can get for yourself! You know who you are and you should be proud of it! Don't be afraid to be as simple or crazy as your are! You just should keep being yourself...

I've really never been one to follow trends. Sure, at some point in my life, I might've done some things to 'fit in'. But it's different now. I've learnt to embrace being different. And through everything I've gone through in the past 2 years, I've come to realize that perhaps, I was never meant to take the conventional route. That maybe I was meant to take the path less trodden. But that's not stopping me. Instead, it is my motivation to create a path towards success for myself, and no one else.

This is my life and I'm taking full control of it.

[side note: for some reason, my brain seems to function better in the wee hours of the day]

“Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.” - Dale Carnegie

And that is why I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, for having ‘wasted’ 2 years of my life, or so they think. I’m getting kind of sick of it, to be honest. I don’t need the ‘sympathy’. I really don’t. Because I don’t feel like the last 2 years have been a waste, but instead, it has been a time of reflection and growth. And out of that, I’ve become a much stronger, determined person.

The Awakening

2010-03-02T15:16:00.001+08:00

Came across this on Facebook and it definitely struck a chord with me.

A time comes in your life when you finally get when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out, ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening.

You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.

You realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you, and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are, and that’s okay. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.

You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself, and in the process, a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.

Your stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you – or didn’t do for you – and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.

You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and everything isn’t always about you.

So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself, and in the process, a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.

You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties, and in the process, a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.

You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you’ve outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.

You learn that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a “consumer” looking for your next fix.

You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don’t know everything, it’s not your job to save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing. You learn the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You learn that alone does not mean lonely.

You stop trying to control people, situations, and outcomes. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.

You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drinking more water, and take more time to exercise.

You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.

More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it’s OK to risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.

You learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn that life isn’t always fair, you don’t always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people, and you learn not to always take it personally.

You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t always somebody’s fault. It’s just life happening. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

You lean that negative feelings such as anger, envy, and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.

You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.

Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than you heart’s desire.

You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.

You hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.

Finally, with courage in you heart, you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can.

Let's spend tonight on top of the world

2010-03-01T12:44:00.001+08:00

(Finally doing this after a month!)

It was 2 months ago. I was surfing the Sistic website checking out upcoming concerts in Singapore. I was deciding between Paramore and Backstreet Boys, but I didn’t have anyone to go with. And then my eyes led me to this one spot on the page that said ‘Boys Like Girls Asia Tour 2010’. The moment I saw that, I was more than sure I was going to be there. I decided to take my brother along (as a sort of belated Christmas gift) because he hadn’t been to a concert yet, and I wanted for him to be at one before he enlisted into the army.

I was out with the family on boxing day and my brother had left earlier to meet up with his friends, so I told my dad to drop me off at Junction 8 so I could get our tickets to the concert. After spending a couple of minutes at the Sistic counter, I finally got these!

I was a bundle of excitement. I hadn’t been to a concert since The Click Five back in June 2008. it had been a whole year and a half! Of course, as always, it was time to start the countdown. 33 days it was, but still, it seemed so distant.

Fast forward to 9 days before the concert, because everything else in between doesn’t really matter. I got to know a couple of fans on the BLG Singapore facebook page and we kept in touch during the days leading up to the concert. Here came the last few days of the countdown!

The night of 27 January, I pretty much had a case of severe insomnia. BLG was on repeat on my iPod and it wasn’t helping. I tossed and turned in bed for a couple of hours before finally dozing off.

Alas! The day had come for the Boys Like Girls concert at the Compass Ballroom at Resorts World Sentosa. On top of the excitement of finally going to a concert after so long, it was also a new venue and I couldn’t wait to check it out. I’d arranged to meet up with my new friends, in hopes of getting a good spot together. My brother was supposed to be working that day, but in the morning I got a surprise when I found out that he was at home. Poor kid wasn’t feeling well, and I was panicking thinking about how I might need to find a replacement to accompany me to the concert. But fast forward a couple of hours later, thankfully he was alright and so everything went as planned.

About 3 hours before the concert, we set off towards Harbourfront, where we would then take the bus service RWS 8 to Resorts World Sentosa. We got to Vivo City, grabbed some grub from Bread Talk then proceeded to locate the RWS 8 bus stop. Here comes the hilarious part. The moment we stepped out of the doors of Vivo City I saw an RWS 8, exclaimed to my brother and we started running across this grass patch, only to find shrubs some distance down and so we couldn’t get to the bus stop from there. We ended up having to make sort of a u-turn to the bus stop. We get on the bus and realize that all that running was unnecessary. So much for wasting our breaths. Anyway, we were glad to finally be in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus. This was the final lap, or so we thought.

Eventually, with all the time spent travelling to Harbourfront and locating the bus stop, I didn’t get to meet any of my new found friends (although I did get to meet Rashey briefly before she went off for the Meet & Greet session). We finally got to the venue at about 6:30 and oh my, the queue was already crazy long! I tried to look for Kay and Jessica but it was impossible with the crowd that was forming up so my brother and I just joined the queue.

Surprisingly, the queue was moving pretty quick and before we knew it, we were in the ballroom! I was contemplating being up front on the left, or further back and centre and finally picked the latter (after recalling about The Click Five concert). True, I would’ve been closer to Paul but I decided that I would get a better overall view being in the centre. And so back and centre it was. What we thought was the final lap wasn’t. The last couple of minutes waiting for Boys Like Girls to get on stage was pure torture, and I was tweeting and looking out for tweets from them to pass the time.

After waiting, and more waiting, there was still no sight of Boys Like Girls but 2 DJs from Power 98. They were giving out answers, then asking questions and giving out prizes. Boy, I couldn’t wait for them to get off stage because it’d felt like we’d been waiting for forever! When they were done with their piece, the lights went down and the concert kicked off with the intro of I Gotta Feeling (originally by the Black Eyed Peas) and going into Love Drunk. The other songs in no particular order, just because I can’t remember anymore: Hero/Heroine, Thunder, Two Is Better Than One, Shot Heard Round The World, She’s Got A Boyfriend Now, Contagious, Five Minute To Midnight, Dance Hall Drug, Heels Over Head, Heart Heart Heartbreak, Someone Like You and The Great Escape. I would like to point out that the lighting and backdrops were brilliant! I managed to get some nice shots and videos, which are up on Facebook and Youtube respectively.

This was the first concert I’d ever been to with my new camera and I couldn’t wait to capture the memories. The moment Martin got on stage, I had it set on HD and ready to roll. Martin on stage: cue screams. Bryan on stage: cue screams. When Paul got on stage, my mind was telling me to stay calm but my mouth wouldn’t listen to my brain and I went into ‘spasm mode’, completely forgetting about the fact that I was trying to get a video. Once they started playing Love Drunk, I knew there was no way I was going to get a decent video so the camera was turned off for a bit as I rocked out. Nothing beats hearing a song live for the very first time, nothing. That moment is just phenomenal. At one point during the concert, a few lucky fans got to be on stage with the guys. I swear if I were one of them, I wouldn’t have been able to stay put in the corner. The concert ended with The Great Escape, and this was no doubt the best moment. By that time, I had managed to move up front by quite a bit. Martin told everyone to get crazy and try to climb over the barriers to get on stage. But of course, that never happened because of security. Fuck security! Martin ended up getting off stage and crowed surfing, and in the process, I managed to catch his finger for a good few seconds. Boy was it getting really chaotic, with people falling over and what not. I fell on some people, picked myself up and ended up having to help some people up, which led to my brother asking me if I fell because he lost me at one point.

That marked the end of the concert. Boys Like Girls definitely rocked the first concert at Resorts World, it was a night to remember for the days and months to come. (Not gonna lie, it would’ve been even more awesome if I’d managed to get a pick, drum stick or bottle. But it was an awesome night nonetheless!)

Fast forward to today, it’s been a month since then and every single memory from that day still lingers in my mind. It’s crazy how I can still feel like I was there just from watching videos. And right now, I’m itching to go for another concert already!

Make it or break it

2010-02-19T18:25:00.002+08:00

I was starting to feel nervous about the admission test tomorrow, then I re-read the test instructions and feel slightly better about it now. Guess it’s more of a test of conceptualizing a design and creative thinking, more so than how well one can draw, so it’s all good! Which reminds me of how I didn’t complete a piece of art for an exam back in the day and still got an A coz the teacher thought I had a good concept. Hope I still have that in me! And no creative block tomorrow pleaseee, that would suck soooo bad! *fingers crossed* I really want this.

Boys Like Girls Asia Tour 2010!

2009-12-26T23:09:00.001+08:00

My 2010 is already off to a great start! :D

"I know that it’s been a tough year for a lot of people. And I know that when you get knocked down it’s the hardest thing in the world to acknowledge that someday things might be different. And I know that the bad days are really, really bad. And if somebody broke your heart, or somebody broke your dreams, or something happened that made you feel like things will never change. But I don’t think that’s true. I think that things get better. I think that good things come back around. I think that things CHANGE, are you with me?"

- Taylor Swift

I love Taylor for saying that! God bless her heart. It left me with tears in my eyes by the time I reached the end, and I believe that 2010 will be a year of positive change.

2009-11-20T17:17:00.003+08:00

I've caught up with the Tumblr fad, so I guess most of my posts will be on there from now on. But I'm leaving this here in case I wanna pop by :D

Blake & Sir Diddimus at the park

2009-10-30T00:43:00.003+08:00

Oh, Blaker... Diddy's working out and you're just cruising on your skateboard getting pulled along. And the Batman theme song? Haha. You're such a dork...

December, where art thou???

2009-10-20T13:35:00.002+08:00

Oh December, please be here already...

#1 I will finally be able to upgrade my phone! (iPhone perhaps?)

#2 I can soon strike 'Trip to San Fran' off my wish list, and on top of that I think we're making a trip down to LA too :) Holly-freakin-wood and the Golden Gate Bridge here I cooooome!!!

SUPERRRRRRRRR STOKEDDDD!!!

Shoutout!

2009-10-10T22:32:00.001+08:00

Hehe, thank you Amy!!! :D She always gets me dark and noisy shoutout vids, haha.

Blake & VFC say what?!?!?

2009-10-07T16:52:00.002+08:00

Original Video - More videos at TinyPic

So according to Jayk, VFC is gonna be at Blake's CD Release at The Roxy (well, makes sense since Drew worked on one of the songs). OMG WHAT?! I WANNA BE THERE SO BAD BUT TOO BAD I'M STUCK HERE >_< This is when it really sucks being so far away :( It's a good thing though coz some VFC fans are going because VFC's gonna be there. I mean, the more people at the release party the merrier! Hopefully they're gonna love what they hear, and in turn gain Blake some new fans :) But ahh, I'm just soooo happy for him. The album is nothing less than amazing, and plus, he's got 2 bands opening for him at The Roxy! GOOOOOOO BLAKE!!!

Oh this torture's got me sayin...

2009-10-04T20:14:00.005+08:00

So much for wondering if the CD is gonna be in stores here since none of the stores I've asked have any information about it. I wasn't even gonna ask dad about pre-ordering it, with everything going on at home right now. So this is pretty much heaven sent. Apart from the CD, I'm getting the t-shirt designed by Blake's friend, Ethan, too!

Can't wait till everything gets here!!! :D :D :D

2009-09-27T18:34:00.006+08:00

Hi lover ^_^

What I said when I saw this pic. Thank goodness my mum didn't hear me or she would rant about what she thinks is my 'obsession'. *rolls eyes*

Haha, how awesome is this?!

I think it's a street in San Francisco. Daaaamn, I wanna go to SF! I think we might be going to Taiwan in December though. That ain't too bad since all of my family but me has been there o_O But my mum says I shouldn't be complaining since I've been to Australia 3 times :P

F1 Weekend

2009-09-25T17:53:00.007+08:00

F1 weekend. While everyone is partying it up at Fort Canning Park for F1 Rocks, here I am stuck with my 'oh-so-interesting' life. It's like freakin Hollywood is here this weekend! Of course you have the artists performing at F1 Rocks like No Doubt, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas etc. But with each day you keep hearing about someone who's in town. First it was Lindsay Lohan (who's replacing Nicole Scherzinger as the host for F1 Rocks), then apparently Paris Hilton was shopping with her at Ion, Josh Hartnett and now I'm hearing that JT is in town too. Man, the question now is, 'Who is NOT in town?'. Sadly, lady luck wasn't on my side this time so I didn't manage to win any tickets and such. Ahh... times I wish money grew on trees! Don't you?

Singapore Idol is boring, so I don't know why I watch it. Just to pass time I guess, and poke fun at people. And if I hear one more JB song on that show I'm boycotting it. No, seriously? JB on Idol? Ok, moving on before the JB fans come and bash me up. So Syltra got voted off, and even though she wasn't as good this week, I feel it should've been someone else. Speaking of next week's theme... It is the year in which they were born. Just checked out the song choices, and OF ALL SONGS Charles had to pick You Give Love A Bad Name, and he says he does not want to be compared to Blake Lewis. How are you going to not expect a comparison when afterall, that is the song that Blake was most remembered for during his time on American Idol? I say good luck to him on that one. Blake totally revolutionized that song, and I don't think anyone could top it (pssh yeah, call me biased but it's not like that would matter). Remember when Suji sang it on One Million Star? He tried to imitate what Blake did with the song and I almost died watching him try. Apparently you can't find the vid on Youtube anymore, so that's that. But this is...

Legit; the best rendition of YGLABN I've heard thus far.

And it comes up as the 3rd video if you search the song On Youtube! :)

While I'm sitting here mulling about F1 and all that shiz taking place this weekend, why not shift my attention to Heartbreak On Vinyl? So I finally heard the previews on Amazon and I can't wait to hear these songs in full (they sound really great). I know this album will do nothing less than impress. Gosh, it needs to be October 6 already!!! Just 11 more days! Eleveeeeeeen, geez c'mon!!!

So, this was pretty pointless and irrelavent but I just had to shake off some of the thoughts buzzing around in my head :P

2009-09-22T23:55:00.002+08:00

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

- Jack Kerouac

2009-09-22T21:27:00.001+08:00

Me: Weather's kinda crazy today.
Mum: Yeah, just like you.

Oh, thanks a lot mum o_O

This is a sad song...

2009-09-22T13:28:00.003+08:00

Edited; H-freakin-D!!!!!

Geedamn, lookin’ great B! But then again, when do you not ;)

This is a sad song
For all long gone
With melodies that kill me
This is a sad song
So sing with me tonight
Just sing with me

Push, push, back upon it

2009-09-16T22:32:00.004+08:00

How did I not know about this song? Apparently it's from the Step Up 2 OST. Yeah, I haven't seen Step Up 2 in full (don't judge me!), much less know anything about the soundtrack. But this song is pretty amazing! (or perhaps minus lil wayne's parts)

Lady Gaga; Paparazzi at MTV VMAs

2009-09-14T17:23:00.001+08:00

Wow, the ending was kinda bizarre though. But she's pretty good live.

2009-09-14T11:52:00.003+08:00

WOW KANYE WEST IS A FUCKING DOUCHE! I feel bad for Taylor. She's amazing and she deserved that award. And much props to Beyonce for standing up for Taylor.

Seriously, he's got DOUCHE written all over his face.

And WTF?! There's no need to be blowing up like that. That guy is insane! He just killed himself by doing that. Now he's been banned from the stage, his twitter has been suspended, his performance has been cancelled, MTV will no longer be playing his music or videos on their station, and he's been removed from radio city music hall. Great job Kanye, great job.

Flo & JJ

2009-09-12T23:10:00.003+08:00

Aww, Flo loves Justin.

Flo: *gasp* Justin.
Flo: Justin!! Ahhhhh!!!!!
Flo: Gimme a hug
Justin: Alright buddy, you miss me?
Flo: No.
Justin: Then why you give me a hug?
Flo: I don't know
Justin: You love me...

Haha, aww...

Golden Gate Bridge, I might see you in December!

2009-09-12T15:59:00.001+08:00

Warning: Spasmodic blog ahead

So my mum randomly walks into my room and asks when I'm outta school in December. Then she proceeds to say that she's planning for a trip to San Francisco in December. At this point, I'm flippin out big time! She says it all the time but it's never happened, so I hope it's for real this time! So I tell her I'm probably outta school a week before Christmas, the week of the 14th. And she's all, don't give me a 'should be' I want a definite date. So I'm like ok, I need to find this freakin school calender. And I start panicking, thinking I might've accidentally gotten rid of it. But alas, after searching through my shelf I found it! I get outta school the week of Christmas (week of the 21st). So then my mum goes, I know your schedule better than you. [yeah, i really do suck at life. thanks a lot (not) for the reminder mum]

BUT OMG I HOPE I GET TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!! *fingers and toes crossed*

2009-09-12T15:14:00.004+08:00

I was just checking out some pictures on the internet to gain some inspiration for the contest that the BLArmy is currently organizing and saw these necklaces made out of recycled vinyl. Pretty innovative!

Love this one of a cassette!

And now, I have to think of what I want to do for the contest. It's like, I have this idea in my head. But the question is, how do I execute this idea into a piece of art? That will be quite the challenge... (especially when I'm thinking of doing an actual piece of art, instead of a graphic on Photoshop)

Baby Jesse

2009-09-11T01:50:00.003+08:00

Aww, baby Jesse...

Was just watching this. I remember searching high and low for it :P

And this never gets old... I still remember the very first time I saw it on MTV :)

Kinda miss his old hairstyle. And I just found out today that he's naturally brunette? Oh gawd, 5 years of being a fan and I just knew that?! Lol. But he does look good blonde.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)

2009-09-10T17:35:00.004+08:00

Miss Speezy's new video for S.O.S. (Let The Music Play). Love it! She looks absolutely gorgeous!

Aww, a little Idol love, from none other than Bshorty...

Let the music play...

2009-09-09T23:33:00.003+08:00

So, I pulled an all nighter last night/this morning and planned to stay awake till 7 to try and win those F1 Rocks tickets for day 3 (Beyonce/BEP). But of course, my plan to keep myself awake failed and I overslept. There goes one chance at winning those tickets. Hopefully they're still giving out tickets (specifically day 3) the next 2 days. Also, a couple of hours after I woke up, I found out that Blake had been at a satellite radio station answering calls. Oh geez, if I had been awake then I would've risked a call if that meant I could talk to him. And, as usual, save the explanation for later. Lol. But yeah, too late. I'll have to wait until I meet him then...

Moral of the story: I should never try to pull and all nighter like that

Hoping that day 3 tickets are still available on tomorrow morning's show and that I will be awake :P

heartbreak on vinyl was for people like us who fall in love in analog and never let go

2009-09-05T23:32:00.005+08:00

Hehe, gotta love these boys. I love me some cake <3

Heartbreak On Vinyl will be released in 31 days, yay!!! 2 years ago, it was pretty much an epic fail when I tried to distance myself from listening to anything before ADD was released. And it's no different this time (what with Blake spoiling us with previews and all). Heard the title track yesterday, and it is a-ma-zing! Sounds just as good live or recorded. Just watched a video of Blake working with Dave Aude, and Love Or Torture sounds really great (can't wait to hear it in its entirety!), so does The Remedy. All in all, I can't wait for this album already! I hope it will be available at HMV *fingers crossed*

Finally did my piano cover of this beautiful song! :]

Still fascinated by scrolling page effect :P

I was just checking out Sean Alexander's wikipedia page and wow, look at the people he's written for!

So anyway, I was checking out some of those songs when I came across this one and I though, 'Hmm... Familiar much?' Of course it is! Because it's 'Mad' by Drew, but sung in Chinese by 棒棒堂.

Psst, I think Mad is better (just sayin, haha). And the lyrics are way different.

English
Because I'm mad I wanna see ya, mad wanna kiss ya
Mad I wanna be with you
And I just mad wanna hold ya, mad wanna cuddle
Baby I'ma see you soon
There aint nobody else that can touch me like you do
You got me so mad, mad, mad, mad, mad in love with you

Chinese
只要有你在我身旁
陪我一起闖蕩
我就什麼都不怕　
只有你懂我的想法
默契不用假裝
你就是我的翅膀
就算未來不按劇本的步調趕場
No matter where you go
I will you go way
You wanna be with you

So a contact on Facebook posted a vid of the original Pokemon theme. Oh, how epic. Dear childhood, where are you? I miss you so... So I was watching good ol cartoons and such and decided to go look up the original cast of Power Rangers and how they look like now. HOLY CRAP LOOK WHAT BECAME OF THE RED RANGER DUDE!

And I don't know how it gets better than this...

2009-08-21T18:25:00.001+08:00

Is it pathetic how I teared up when I saw these?
Is it weird how I can totally see you sitting at the piano penning Sad Song?
Is it crazy how it’s been over 2 years since you were on American Idol?

Saying hello from Milwaukee. “hello” - LOL! What a dork <3 I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that Darude commented on the video. Thank you for retweeting it :)

this a sad song for all the long gone...

2009-08-20T00:14:00.003+08:00

Finally did my piano cover of Sad Song! I hope Blake gets to see it!
*fingers crossed*

Straight Through My Heart

2009-08-10T17:09:00.002+08:00

BSB's new single, Straight Through My Heart. Lovin it!

In the heart of the night
When it's dark in the lights
I heard the loudest noice
A gunshot on the floor

I looked down
And my shirt's turning red
I'm spinning round
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice in the ear
Like I missed you
Want you tonight

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding, oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it, oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be here
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart

Thought I moved more than on
Thought I could fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I can't leave her alone, oh oh

Hear the sound of a love so loud
I just can't, I just can't ignore this feeling
Said she miss me
And she wants me, wants me tonight

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding, oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it, oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be here
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart

In the heart of the night
When it's dark in the lights
I heard the loudest noice
A gunshot on the floor

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding, oh
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down, soldier down)
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it, oh
No I can't resist
(I can't resist)
And I can't be here
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
My heart
Straight through my heart
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
(Soldier down)
My heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Sad Song casting call

2009-08-08T20:49:00.004+08:00

Casting Tomboyish, Hot Young Woman for Music Video (Los Angeles, CA

Blake Lewis' (American Idol Runner Up Season 6) new video for SAD SONG is now casting the following:

Lead / Female / Caucasian / 19 - 26 years
Description: PROTOTYPE: NATALIE PORTMAN. BOYISH/MODERN/SEXY/BLEND OF EVIL AND SWEET/SOMEWHAT ANDROGYNOUS.
ANGULAR/THIN PHYSIQUE/MUST BE SHORTER THAN 5'6".

****SHORT HAIR IS PREFERRED.

Thank you!

* Location: Los Angeles, CA
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: $400 flat rate for two days work

ZOMGGG!!! Blah, the only requirement I fit is that I'm 19, oh and that I'm shorter than 5' 6"! The description is kinda wth?! though. Haha. Seriously though, androgynous?! o_O We don't need to know Blake, we don't need to know. Lol. So I was talking to Shayne and I came to the conclusion that it, perhaps, describes said lady who broke his heart and inspired him to write Sad Song. No one will know, but there is a possibility seeing as he seemed so into her and all and would probably want the female lead in the video to resemble her. And um yeah, Natalie Portman coz he loves her. Oh, and in the description it says prototype? Wth?! It's like describing an inanimate object or something. Bahaha. All in all, this was weird and funny all at the same time.

Oh hai, bb! You're crazy but I ♥ you (and your amazing hair).

I missed seeing you and your crazy friends live.

The 'ME' on my palms are slightly faded but are not totally coming of yet. Oh, the trouble I give myself just for someone's birthday video o_O And I had no idea the yellow walls in my hall would make such a great backdrop! Of course, the picture above is not without editing on Photoshop :P

Dream a little dream of me...

2009-07-20T00:11:00.003+08:00

So after a really crazy dream about getting David to show me his abs, I get a dream of being with the fam at Wendy's. And obviously we don't have Wendy's in Singapore. So I was thinking, 'OMG! Is this a sign that I will be going to the US to see VFC someday?!' Ok but this is odd, we weren't there to have food. We were queueing to use the restroom. Pretty odd. And while we were in the queue this black girl kept going up to people asking them to smack her booty. Ok...? What happened after that is kinda gross. Turd-like muffins wth?! I shan't continue anymore. LOL. But yeah, that was kinda odd and omgwowseriously?! at the same time, I guess...

Will I have more interesting dreams tonight? Only time will tell.

VFC invades my dream...

2009-07-19T00:36:00.003+08:00

Story time!

So yesterday morning I woke up, then fell back into a semi-sleep. While semi-sleeping, Varsity Fanclub invaded my dream. In my dream, I was going around talking to the guys and getting pictures taken. Then I came to David and I was leaning in for a picture when I randomly asked him, 'Can I feel your abs?'. He turned to look at me with this 'WTH, seriously?!' look on his face and proceeded to lift his shirt, revealing his abs. I was all 'OOH LALA!' and started exclaiming everyone 'I won the bet!'. My friends who were with me ended up having to pay me 10 bucks each.

End of story.

:)

Tell 'em that it's Human Nature

2009-07-17T00:17:00.005+08:00

If they say why, why
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
If they say why, why
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way

I didn't get to watch the whole of MJ's memorial, it being early in the morning on the first day of the common tests. Anyway, I happened to come across this video. Wow! John Mayer is really good on the guitar! Sidetracking, if you have a twitter I think you should follow him. He has some pretty hilarious tweets.

2009-07-13T01:27:00.002+08:00

I wish all this wasn't for real.
I wish life would be normal
But then again, when has life been normal?
And what is the definition of 'normal'?

I pretty much cried myself to sleep last night and woke up with tears streaming down my face. It's gonna be a pretty rough time, but I'll deal with it. Whoever knows what is gonna happen from here, but whatever life throws me I'm willing to accept and face it with nothing but positivity.

Smile.

2009-07-12T17:57:00.001+08:00

Smile
Tho' your heart is aching,
Smile
Even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky- You'll get by,
If you Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through- For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev'ry trace of sadness,
Altho' a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile- What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile

You've been hit by, you've been hit by a smooth criminal.

2009-07-05T16:20:00.004+08:00

WOOOO!!! GO DAVID!!!! DO THE MOONWALK!!!

Not only did he do a great job looking the part, he danced really well too!

Wowza!

2009-07-05T00:38:00.003+08:00

WOAH! Did MJ come back to life or what?!

Haha nah, it's just David. But daaang! He did a really good impersonation!

2009-07-04T16:00:00.003+08:00

Clearing out emails and guess who wrote me an IM?! Why yes, Dallas (Blake's dad) just IMed me saying "Hi VK, I was just heading for bed, but your name popped up so I thought I'd say hi. Hugs, d"

I haven't talked to Dallas on MySpaceIM in awhile but this is the second time he randomly IMed me. Haha. It's funny that he knows me as VK. Blake only knows me as Vanessa, so I usually don't sign off as Vee if I'm writing to him (as I usually do).

Lalalala... Ok, now back to more studying. Reality ch-ch-check!

This is the story, story of my life...

2009-07-04T00:33:00.003+08:00

I'm listening to some Audio Day Dream right now since I haven't listened to the album as a whole in awhile. It's amazing, nothing more I can say.

Anyway, I just felt the need to write about my 'KFC experience' on Thursday. My mum was out, so it was just my maid and I at home and we decided to order KFC for lunch. Here I was on my computer doing an online order for a Bandito Pockett buddy meal and nachos. Upon confirmation, the page stated that it would take approximately 45 minutes for the delivery.

So I wait, and just about 45 minutes later the delivery man arrived. He confirmed the order of a Bandito Pockett buddy meal and nachos and I receive the bag of food. For some reason, I didn't think of checking the items before the delivery man left. As I opened the bag, I realized we were missing a Bandito Pockett. How ironical, because afterall it was a BANDITO POCKETT meal. The Bandito Pockett was the MAIN ITEM! Of all things to be missing out on!

I made a call to KFC to inform them that I was missing out on a Bandito Pockett from my Bandito Pockett meal and the lady told me that it would be sent out soon. Half an hour passed, and there was still NO sign of a Bandito Pockett. Hence, I made a second call to KFC telling them that it had been half an hour and I hadn't received my missing Bandito Pockett. This time, I was told that the delivery man would call me about it. A couple of minutes later, I did get a call from the delivery man saying he was on the way. Finally, the Bandito Pockett arrived, almost an hour after I got the initial delivery. In total (from when I made my order online), I waited close to 2 hours for ONE BANDITO POCKETT. Now, just tell me how ridiculous is that?!

And that, is my 'KFC experience' from Thursday.

About a week ago, I was at Gain City with the parentals to look for a new fridge. It was quite a challenge looking for one that fit. Well you see, when we got the house, the so-called-designer made it such that the area for the fridge was between the stove and some cupboards and it was a very restrictive space. Thus, we had to find one that would fit that cramp space. We literally spent a few hours there just looking at fridges!

We finally made our decision, and we were supposed to have it delivered just this past Wednesday. However, we realized we had made a miscalculation with the measurements and the depth of the fridge we had chosen would not fit the cramp space. With this, we had to reconsider our options. So today, I made a trip to Courts with my mum and maid to check out the fridges available there. Unfortunately, most of them didn't fit the bill. After we were done checking out the fridges, we didn't have anything else to see at Courts so we walked over to Ikea.

I looooooove going to Ikea - even if it's just window shopping. I need to bring my camera along the next time I'm there. I can already anticipate a lot of crazy and random pictures. I basically freaked out at EVERY SINGLE ORANGE OBJECT on the shelves. "OMG, look! Orange candles! That's such a nice colour coordination! I want the orange towel!" My mum got a set of 6 colourful cups and I said the orange one is reserved for me. We got a couple of things, then my mum freaked and realized that if we were to take the train/bus we wouldn't be home in time for the 7pm Korean drama. So we went to grab some grub (Ikea's hotdog is cheap and good!) and then managed to get a cab to rush back home.

That was pretty much how my Friday went down :)

I am speechless...

2009-06-29T16:02:00.002+08:00

I wanna jump into my computer screen just watching this.

Just OMG. I have nothing else to say. This is such a distraction. I'm supposed to be studying but I can't even function anymore. Oh boy...

2009-06-27T00:37:00.003+08:00

R.I.P Michael Jackson

Yesterday morning, I logged on to Myspace to see Travis Garland's blog that was titled 'michael, RIP'. For some reason, my first inclination wasn't to read it, but to go and google 'Michael Jackson dead?'. I read one of the news articles and thought maybe it was just a hoax, maybe it was just someone trying to make up a story. So then, the next thing I thought of was to log on to Twitter because if it was for real then everyone would be talking about it on there. Indeed, the minute I logged on, 'RIP Michael Jackson' was all over the place. It was then it dawned upon me that yes, the King of Pop has passed away.

I may not be a huge fan of Michael Jackson's, but I definitely remember the days my dad would bring my brother and I to go pick my mum from work. We would listen to this one CD my dad had, that had some of MJ's songs and always sang along to them.

The music world has indeed lost a great legend - one who has been an inspiration to so many and paved the way for the music and musicians of today. Even though he is gone, his music lives on...

Oh hey, waddup?!

2009-06-18T00:42:00.003+08:00

First things first...

I got a new layout, chyeah! Although I don't know why the post column is kinda off... Whatever, I'll figure that out in a bit.

So last week, I went for a dance master class by Alvin de Castro - a choreographer from Australia. That was the first time I've been to a dance class in almost a year! The class on Friday was INTENSSSSSE! Pretty hardcore hip hop. It was super fast, and he kept going on and on. We didn't get a break till almost the end, where you see everyone rush to grab water. On Sunday, it was more of lyrical hip hop. Loved that (and the song too). It was alright in the first half or so, but towards the end he started throwing us so many steps and it got kinda confusing.

This was the choreography taught on Sunday...

Lalala... Fast forward to yesterday. Nette came over to bake. I was supposed to meet her in the morning to go get some ingredients, but she couldn't make it till later so I went to get them first. I never realized how fun grocery shopping could be till then, haha. Anyway, back to the story... I went back home, had some sushi and chilled for a bit. Nette came at 2+ and we got down to making some chocolate pudding cake, which I randomly found online.

This is what it was supposed to look like.

Looks really delish, doesn't it??

And this is what our finished product looked like.

Far cry, I know. But nonetheless, it tasted AMAZING!!! I swear I went to heaven and back.

2009-06-11T00:42:00.007+08:00

*sniff sniff* *cough cough*

Was sick over the last weekend, and the cold is still kinda bugging me. But ... school's out bitches!!!

Not the greatest reason to celebrate, seeing as the common tests are right after this 2 week break. For now though, I have the Hip Hop master class to look forward to! And hopefully I'll be able to hang out with the cousin a little (sleep over at either of our houses perhaps?). I need to get back on some photoshopping before I completely lose touch, and I'm [hopefully] gonna figure out a couple more songs on the piano :)

Lovin someone's new 'do! Return of the blonde!

118 DAYS TO HEARTBREAK ON VINYL!!!

2009-05-30T00:20:00.003+08:00

I probably haven't been making a lot of sense with my blogposts. I just feel so 'off' lately. Sorry if it's just been about music and stuff :P

I need to write more substantial blogs. Soon I will, soon... When I've gathered all my thoughts.

ETA: Oh, I forgot to mention this. But I finally went to find out what TweetSG was all about. It allows you to tweet from your phone by texting to a local number, so you don't have to pay extra costs (well, depending on your mobile plan) when tweeting. So, yay!!! I can tweet from my phone and not be a nervous wreck when the bill arrives. Watch out folks, Vee the twitwhore is back and ready to spam your feeds ;)

2009-05-29T23:29:00.004+08:00

Just read Drew's blog. I couldn't help but tear up when it came to where he was talking about Thomas' decision to leave the band.

When we had our discussion, when the decision was made...
Thomas told us of how he felt and his emotions on the whole situation.
He said it "I can't do it anymore..I'm really sorry guys....."
We all sat in silence...

......no one spoke a word.

Then Thomas moved in for the it's okay we can get through this hug...and the tears just started to fall...I couldn't hold back. No one could.

That part just totally got to me. Call me emotional, but I just couldn't hold back the tears. Add that to the fact that I've been kinda emo this week, even listening to No Boundaries made me cry.

Honestly, it wasn't surprising. I mean, Thomas' musical style and everything is so different than what VFC's is. Plus, he's got other things he wants to do. It was but a matter of time. That said, it's still gonna take some getting used to - VFC without Thomas.

No one said that life was easy but together we can put an ease to the imPOSSIBILITIES.

Thank you Drew, that was really inspirational.

Thank you again for taking the time to read my novel.
I hope everyone out there feels a little closer to me and understands that you're not the only one going through a hard time. This isn't easy me or for us...
So lets all help each other out please...

And the Thomas shirts will still be up there....however there wont be anymore made so I'm getting my mom some of them as a keep sake and collectible =)

See everybody in Brea in a few hours..

I didn't go to bed because I felt I needed to express myself to all of you.
I hope this found you well.

Thank you everybody out there for being who you are and being here for me and the guys.

We need you.

Thank you Drew for this blog (even though it made me cry).

Listening to the new songs Drew posted now. He has such an amazing voice.

Just a little FYI: Drew co-wrote Shinee's 'Amigo' (whoever's into kpop)

L.O.V.E.

2009-05-27T23:41:00.002+08:00

Been hearing this song on 91.3 and I love it!

Always say that you will change
Don't try to cut me off baby
Baby girl you hold me back
I'm not the boy last night

Everytime I say I'm gone I prove me wrong
Coz I'm addicted, I'm addicted to you

I Try and try to leave but I just can't
Let you go coz every single moment
My heart says that I just can't quit
I'm like the ending of a movie
That you just don't get
I don't show up late
I never forget
You got me running circles in my head
No I can't quit
You're my bad habit

Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh

I know I said I couldn't stay
I tried so hard don't walk away
But girl you got me itching and got me wishing
I could break myself off you
I'm tryin' to be alone baby
But you just take control ofme
And I keep trying to hide it
And I deny it
I don't need you anymore

But everytime I say I'm gone I prove me wrong
Coz I'm addicted, I'm addicted to you

I try and try to leave but I just can't
Let you go coz every single moment
My heart says that I just can't quit
I'm like the ending of a movie
That you just don't get
I don't show up late
I never forget
You got me running circles in my head
No I can't quit
You're my bad habit

The first step is claming that I'm wrong
I'll never take the blame (oh, no oh)
So help me help myself get better
Tell me that I'm yours forever (are you addicted to me?)

I don't show up late
I never forget
You got me running circles in my head
No I can't quit
You're my bad habit

I try and try to leave but I just can't
Let you go coz every single moment
My heart says that I just can't quit
I'm like the ending of a movie
That you just don't get
I don't show up late
I never forget
You got me running circles in my head
No I can't quit
You're my bad habit

Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh

2009-05-23T01:26:00.004+08:00

The music video for V Factory's 'Love Struck' was released yesterday, and it's actually pretty good. I'm not that much into V Factory, but this song is growing on me.

Love struck, oh oh oh oh (girl you got me)
Love struck (you got me)
Love struck (girl you got me)
Love struck, oh oh oh oh

I, I, I love it when you give me that smile
I've, I've, been waiting for this a long time
My, my, my premonition is telling me try
Girl I really want to get that get that
Really should no doubt about it

I have to give you credit for your style
and the way you rock that dress is so wild
I got to give it up 'cuz
girl I really want to get that get that
Really should no doubt about it

I'm craving for you and just like a fool

ETA: Oh, and while I'm on this. Here's a video of Blake doing what he does best. Awesome shiz!!! Like someone said on BLMM, his beatboxing skills have multipled (however that is possible)! Hahaha...

Finally! Here it is!

My piano cover of Echo by Varsity Fanclub :D

VFC on the road

2009-05-11T14:33:00.007+08:00

VFC just posted a bunch of really hilarious pics. There are so many so I'm just gonna post David's :P

Caption says 'utterly milklicious'. It totally should've been 'udderly milklicious' LOL!!
And look at his face, what a kid.

David's new friend? Uh, I have no words. Haha.

Aww, look at him sleeping. How precious...

HAHA! And David in a wifebeater *_* (if only he was tanner...)

Even the way he drinks is hot oh gosh... *_*

Jayk has the biggest goosebumps

2009-05-08T19:52:00.005+08:00

I logged on to MySpace today, to find that I had a new message. At first I was all, 'Could it be VFC?'. Then I thought maybe not, since the message had been in it's 'read' status for over a day and it's probably the guy who helps maintain their MySpace who saw it. So then I was wondering who else it could be. The inbox page was taking forever to load, and when it finally did I saw that it was indeed a reply from VFC (or Jayk rather) about my Echo video!

Thanks Jayk! :D

2009-05-08T01:00:00.005+08:00

Just checked up on my YouTube (music acct) comments, and saw this comment on my Lost Then Found acapella vid.

OMG!
Totally great,
Your voice is SOOOO AMAZING!
Varsity fanclub would freak if they saw this video! I shuld send this to them!
They should have a girl in through. You'd get the part.
Right away!

Aww, thanks to the person who left me that comment. If I could be part of VFC, how awesome would that be?! If they ever need another person in the group, I'd be up for it! Oh shiz, talking bout living in the VFC house (minus the mess that tend to create, guys being guys)? I'm not even gonna continue. Hahaha!

Noooooze!

2009-05-07T23:40:00.008+08:00

First things first, another new vee-de-yooo!!!

Here's VFC doing an acoustic version of the song. David's solo *_*

Second... oh, they showed snippets of past hometown parades. And what was the first clip? BLAAAKE! I was literally like this =D when they showed snippets from his hometown visit. Ahh, memories... Same with David Cook's hometown performance too. I totally remember staying up to watch it via live stream last year. Oh, did I mention Blake sang for the First Lady and the Ladies of Congress a week or two ago? I'm so proud of you bb!!

Third... Oh they presented Daughtry with his platinum plaque today and when I saw red and white I was thinking, 'Singapore?'. Indeed it was! And it seems like Singapore was the only Asian country on there. GO DAUGHTRY!!! The new single is awesome and they rocked it on Idol tonight. Shows you don't necessarily have to win to be big, although it would be an advantage.

Ok, what was I gonna say now? I hate when I blank out, pffft!

Back to the hometown parade videos. In between snippets, my brother went 'Is he gay?'. I was confused as to who he was referring to so I asked 'Who?'. And he said, 'David Archueta'. Wow, you should've seen the look on my face. It was thinking 'WTH are you thinking bro?!' Seriously though, look at that kid. He's so innocent and angelic.

VFC SG intro from Bobby Edner!

2009-05-05T22:50:00.003+08:00

VFC had a show in LA yesterday, and I managed to get my friend Laura to get an intro vid for the Singapore fansite that I run. Here's Bobby's (pssh! he was in spy kids 3d) introduction to the site. I find it amusing how he finds the need to tell everyone he's reading it (from a paper), haha.

Big thank you to Laura, and of course Bobby!!!

Falling Slowly piano cover

2009-05-05T22:24:00.003+08:00

I loved Kris Allen's studio recording of Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova and was inspired to do a piano cover of the song. Let me know what you think?

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

R.I.P. Adam Cook

2009-05-05T00:00:00.005+08:00

Adam Cook (David Cook's brother) passed away early Sunday morning, after his decade-long battle with brain cancer.

Watching David announce his brother's demise at the Race for Hope event just made me wanna give him a big hug. My condolences to the Cook family in this time of grieve.

Lost Generation

2009-05-03T16:20:00.001+08:00

Check this out

If today was your last day, would you live each moment like your last?

2009-05-01T01:02:00.001+08:00

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

Hello May!

2009-05-01T00:53:00.004+08:00

Dang! Where did time go?! It's MAY already!!!

13 days to my 19th! OMG! Last year of being a teen then I will be 2 decades old. *gasp*

So, Matt has been eliminated from American Idol *sigh* and we're left with the final 4. And, who would've thought Adam would be in the bottom 3 (or 2 even)?! Well, that goes to show that anything can happen in this competition and no one is ever safe.

Quoting Bully over at Team Plaid:

Speaking of Adam and Michael Johns— anyone else here smelling a Daughtry move coming up, to dump the undesirable yet effective rocker from the Top3 land? Will the fans step up, to save him like they did Cook? Are we just complacent, because he is so dammed good? Hmmm.

Wow, I hope that is not the case! I hope the fans vote real hard to keep Adam in the competition after the shocker yesterday.

In other news, we're having a family lunch at Sakura later today. The food is kinda blah, but I'm finally getting to see my dear cousin again!!

I want you and your Beautiful Soul

2009-04-27T23:21:00.008+08:00

Ahh, I will never get tired of this song... (or this video)

I still remember seeing this video for the first time on MTV 4 years ago. I'd heard Beautiful Soul on the radio, but I didn't know who Jesse McCartney was. When I finally saw the video I was thinking, 'Oh, what a cutie!' He was what, 17? And now he's freakin 22! Oh boy, where did time go? So yeah, I've been a fan for over 4 years now. Although I may not be as obsessed as I once was, I am still a fan and enjoy his music, which has changed so much over these last couple of years with his 3 albums.

Suffice to say, Beautiful Soul is my all time favourite song by Jmac :)

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

if no one wants to start the show then we will, we will

2009-04-25T23:13:00.004+08:00

Time for updates!!!

Ok, where do I begin?

Thursday was the 50th National Track & Field School finals (I can't remember the actual event name so let's just leave it as that). My brother had 3 events that day and my parents were going to go watch him, but my dad was busy so I decided to go with my mum instead (since I was off school). Part of the reason why I went was because it was at the Choa Chu Kang stadium and as you know Lot One is around the area, and apparently they have the green/black checkered shirt that looks like David's. So I was thinking we could stop by Lot One to check out if Cotton On had it or not.

We took a train down to CCK and were surprised that it only took half an hour to get there! While we were getting out of the station, my stupid card wasn't getting detected and I was getting annoyed. Not to mention, the uber warm weather was adding to my annoyance as well. Then we made our way to the interchange to catch a bus to the stadium, and pretty much followed all the students who were on board.

I shall spare you of the details, because it was a pretty long day and I honestly can't really remember anything. There was this lady sitting behind us who was so annoying I felt like bitchslapping her. Forrealz. First she's cheering for one school, then she's cheering for another, then she's cheering for yet another. I was thinking, 'Make up your mind lady'! Oh, and she was screaming so much the entire time. Annoying screaming. No thanks please. Poor brother didn't come in for any of his events, but at least his school bagged the top spot for their division so congrats to them.

After the prize presentations, I left with my mum to go to Lot One. I told her I wanted to go check out Cotton On and she was like, 'Again?!'. She was checking out some other stuff, so I told her I was gonna make my way to Cotton On first.

I was looking around, when all of a sudden, it was like a ray of light came out of nowhere. I thought I saw green behind a row of shirts so I decided to go have a look. I searched through the row of shirts to find the shirt I have been looking for all this time! There it was, right before my eyes! I was beyond happy. So anyway, I decided to look around to see if there was anything else that was nice. Just as I was doing so, I saw that my mum had come to Cotton On. And what was she looking at? The very same shirt! I went up to her and I was all, 'OMG! I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THAT TOO!'. Then she asked me to go try it and I happily took an S and a M and head for the fitting room. I was so happy I was dancing around in the dressing room (without a bloment this time though, lol). So yes, I now have a matching shirt with David Lei Brandt :D And that was how I spent my Thursday, pretty much.

Today was yet another warm, humid and boring day. Got some school stuff organized, then tried to Photoshop. But it was another futile attempt. I managed to edit a picture I took on Thursday at the stadium though (yeah, I got bored and started snapping as usual). My art is really suffering. Oh, crap.

Speaking of Blake and Drew...

BlakeLewis @drewryanscott we smashed it last night homie. When i'm back lets do the session and come up with some killer harmonies!!!!!!!!! booyakasha

drewryanscott @BlakeLewis let's do it!!!! I loved it!!! We gonna make some new B.Lewis shizzol

I think they'd make good buds. They are both so random!! I think they need to make a vid already, it'll be craziness. Or Blake should do vlog numero dos and have Drew in it. Hahaha.

photoshop blocks = no fun

2009-04-24T23:30:00.002+08:00

Thanks @blakelewis for stopping by the studio and knocking out some shitty photoshop drawings.

@EthanNewberry I know right?! I use to be good at that shit too. If you don't keep up with your art it will suffer. Photoshop you're mine

I couldn't agree more with Blake on that! My art is indeed suffering right now...

2009-04-24T16:37:00.001+08:00

SAY WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?!!??! DREW RYAN SCOTT IS WORKING ON A SONG WITH BLAKE COLIN LEWIS?! SAWEEEEEEEEET!!!

I FOUND EET! =D

2009-04-24T01:36:00.002+08:00

We haz matching shirtz! xD

2009-04-22T21:58:00.005+08:00

One of the first few vids I watched when I first found out about these guys. Their harmonizing is awesome!!!

They start singing about a minute into the vid. David's falsetto! *_*

Matt's (twerk?) LOL
Kris' chicken dance. HAHAHA.
And don't forget Adam's krumping, haha.

Oooh, I didn't know the American Idol contestants did commercials for this too...

Adam is totally staring at the telprompter. Lol.

Matt! As much as he's one of my favourites, and I'd hate to see him go, I think tomorrow's the end of the Idol journey for him =\

Kris actually looks like he's done this before.

Roll the Credits

2009-04-22T18:28:00.001+08:00

and it doens't make me feel any better
that you took her
places we would go

I thought you were meant for me

tell me whys that chick playing
my roll

Baby tell me who is she

when you're not together
I aint gonna do nothing crazy
I just need you to hear me

Roll the Credits
And tell me how many of your
friends you told all about it
they said you were working last

Did you lie to all of them too
Or was I just a fool

We weren't even at the end
but you started auditioning
and let somebody else star

Baby tell me who is she
I need to know her name and number
Tell me who does she hang out with
when you're not together

Back 2 School

2009-04-20T23:56:00.006+08:00

First day back at school.

I survived it.

Go meeeeeee!!!

:)

The day starts we me deciding to cross the overhead bridge to get to the other side, instead of making myself suffer in the hot, humid weather. Didn't work. I was still a mess after I got to the bus stop. On the way there, I missed a 76 and was a little annoyed. Then, within 20 seconds, another 76 comes by and I'm thinking, 'Crap! How is that possible?! It usually takes at least 15 minutes between 76s!'. Just when it couldn't get any worse, a 25 came by just as I was still crossing the overhead bridge. By this time I was really annoyed seeing as it had potentially ruined my plan of making it to school in time for the first lecture. After a bit of waiting, another 25 arrives. I hop aboard and take it all the way to the interchange.

I then decided to walk to the Jubilee bus stop to take 159 so I can avoid the looooooong walkway and get to block Q quicker. Well, what do you know? Just as I arrived at the bus stop, there is 159! I was so happy I picked up my pace and walked towards the bus, only to find a man standing right at the door trying to get in. Stupid people didn't wanna move the heck in when there was still space. Pffft. So it was more waiting for me, and I started getting impatient as time passed. By this time, I was literally melting. So finally, the bus comes at just a couple of minutes before 9. In typical 'auntie style' I hopped in front of a lady and squeezed my way onto the bus, afraid that I would miss this one too. *facepalm*

Well, it was a pretty mundane day. Food chem, all over again. I tried to keep myself to stay awake during labelling but found myself on the verge of dozing off at one point. Food biz was pretty much mehhh...

TWEET TWEET!

Twitter.

Go get one fool!

Seriously though, I miss the days when hardly anyone knew what Twitter was. These days it gets flooded with tweets every millisecond, that it's constantly going over capacity.

Everyone and their mum has a twitter now! Heck, even the President of the United States has a Twitter!

That said, Twitter is still tons of fun though.

Just some fun facts for ya:

Vanessa is ranked 254,324th on twitterholic! (by followers)

Vanessa is ranked 532nd in their location on twitterholic! (by followers in 'Singapore')

I just gained another 20 followers in one day. ONE FREAKIN DAY. Oh those creepers... *goosebumps*

Overall, Ashton Kutcher (took me forever to figure out his user aplusk *epic fail*), CNN Breaking News and Britney Spears are still the front runners in this little game we call Twitter.

That sure was a mouthful about Twitter. I just felt like I needed to spread the word.

With this, I conclude this blog post.

Thank you so much for reading :)

SHIIIIB!!!

2009-04-17T17:25:00.002+08:00

Woah! BT was totally in Singapore (well the airport anyways)!!!

Hello Singapore. Flight one done. This is going to be a long long day :) http://twitpic.com/3edf3

Slumber party!!!!! Gonna nap on the floor in Singapore airport for an hour with this crew!! Move over!! http://twitpic.com/3ee1e

BT who? He's a producer whom Blake is good friends with. Imagine if they were travelling together to London. OMG! I would've totally rushed my ass to the airport. Except that, since it's just a transit I wouldn't get to see them. Just me and my wishful thinking...

On to other news...

After 2 days of fussing with the layout and coding for my VFC Fansite, I'm finally done with it!!! That sure used up so much of my brain juice. Gotta give the brain a break now before I go crazy. Ah, so glad I managed to get it done before the horror comes knocking at my door.

Adam Lambert is "Born to be Wild"!

2009-04-15T23:20:00.002+08:00

I think they should just stop the competition right here and crown Adam already. Seriously, no one is a threat to this guy!!!

3 songs I'm currently digging, by former S Club 8 member, Calvin Goldspink

1. Dance In The Rain (Travis Garland from NLT does background in this one)
2. Never Not Beautiful
3. Private Show

And, I'm finally done with my entry for the Drew Ryan Scott Online contest!!

PS: Sound quality sucks because I recorded off my laptop. Should've put it on the iPod and played it through the stereo. Oh well... That's something figured out for future videos :]

Sem 1 Timetable

2009-04-15T01:34:00.003+08:00

Surprise, surprise!!! I got my timetable, so I don't have to go down to school just to register for my modules.

No school for me on Thursdays. And while everyone else has a 3 hour break on Friday, I have 5. So much for screwing things up... I don't even know what to think of this timetable. All that I want is to get this over and done with so I can go do graphic designing after this. Afterall, I already got the green light...

2009-04-14T22:56:00.001+08:00

I messed up HTML so my blog looks like crap now. I'm done dealing with HTML for the day, so I'll fix it tomorrow!

In the meantime, enjoy the new song. It's freakin dope!!! It's by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, who is an amazing writer!!!
