it has been more than 4 months since i've lasted posted here.
it has been crazy ever since school started for the semester and seriously, i don't really feel like going everything through. but things is, i definitely learnt a lot this semester and my perspective on a lot of things changed. this semester of school has changed me into a better person. stronger, better and maybe a little bit more sinister, in a good way. =)
i really feel like coming back to blog regularly during this holiday. but i won't make any promises. let's see how it goes. =) because frankly speaking, i wanna stay off using my laptop for a while. i will be on it the whole time once the new semester starts.
i really missed those days where i can upload pictures and share videos here. and i can just go on typing and typing. the feeling is so nice. guess that happens when you grow old. last time i blog, i'm 17. now, my 18th birthday's long gone and i am studying for my driver's license. time does the job. =)
i hope to see you all here again. i'm still alive and kicking, for your information. =D

first of all, the tagboard here has been deleted because well, nobody really does tag there. and i hardly reply to them. and i really hate those porno or terrorist ads here, so i just deleted it once and for all. plus, i keep having trouble searching for my username and password to Cbox. =P you can leave a message for me at Twitter or Facebook if you like, the links are by the side. =D
there's quite some photos of my BigBang collection i wanna post. but i will be collecting some items tomorrow. so i guess i will upload them the next time. which will not be so soon, i guess. =P
and i have no idea when will be the next time i will be back. so yeah, take care ya all!. +D

sigh. i still have no idea on what to do with this blog here. i mean, i got a few ideas in mind for this blog. but... i still cannot decide on which direction to take... i don't really have the ability to manage the "weekly blog" system anymore due to irregularities of my time management and all... and sometimes, i simply do not have the will to blog. but, i really want to come here and write something once in a while. that's the whole point of it all from the beginning right? i started this blog when i was 11 and this has gone on for 6 years. i did not think of closing down my blog ever, no matter how long i leave it alone for. neither am i this time round. i will still continue blogging, but mo more regularly. maybe just once in a while. hope that will do. =)
there's too much that happened and took place ever since i last blogged. hm. let me try to recall some of the more general events..
all right, the crazy studying for my first ever exams in Ngee Ann Poly, Diploma in Psychology and Community Services. i really did study like mad. it's not that kind of studying you will expect a poly student to do, since the general stereotype of poly students are "slackers". i studied hard, i focused and i think i will do well for the exam. it's not being proud, it has always been being confident. =)
and no worries, i am still a V.I.P. as i always say, Big Bang touched me more than any other artiste had. they had lots of activities going on and the more significant one will be that Taeyang ended his solo activities already and Big Bang is aiming a comeback by the end of the year. how i personally feel about all these are on my Twitter and Facebook. and i really find it a nuisance to repeat it all over again here. but in general, all i can say is that i will wait for Taeyang faithfully. G-Dragon too. i know that the 5 of them cherish their solo time a lot, more than members of other groups. i firmly believe that they will be back, just not so soon.
this is a video done by me. for more information, right click and watch it on YouTube. it's all in the descriptions. this video is also the video featured in my blog here. =D
and this... is my cover of Wedding Dress, English version. AHHH~. i don't know what else to say about this. it's all in the description too. =)
ok then... the next thing i will touch on is the drama that i just finished watching... QUEEN SEONDEOK. yup, i know that i am slow. this drama is 1 year old already and i am only done watching it now. but really, i have no regrets watching this drama. this drama has taught me a lot of things, more than any other. the complex and imperfections of each character are perfectly portrayed by the superb acting skills of every single actor. as usual, i cry like mad during those emotional episodes. i only cry during dramas, seriously. but there are parts in this particular drama where i was so stunned by the cruelty of reality that i was just speechless with no tears coming out from my eyes. just couldn't say anything too.
my favourite character is Bidam by Kim Nam Gil. Bidam is the most complex character i've ever come across. as cliche as it may sound, i really wished to know Kim Nam Gil sooner. he is a very very very talented and great actor. he skillfully brought Bidam to live. he is not featured in those promotional posters and on the cover of those DVD sets, but he is hell of a huge main character. i guess the reason is because he did not appear until episode 20++ and hence, the production team do not want to spoil the audiences. he is more than a main character as the story goes on. trust me. =)
then my next favourite is Alcheon! he is really a supporting role, but i really like this character. i really admire his ability to stand by his principles and do the things that he feel is right without fear from higher authority. it is his courageous and righteousness that attracted me. =D
the final 5 episodes... i really dreaded them. i always dread to watch the last few episodes of long dramas. i always feel loss whenever i finish watching a long drama. just cannot quite believe that it's gone. but anyway, i cried like crazy at the last episode. i just sit on my chair, dazed and i cannot think of anything. it's just so sad. i've watched another great drama by a superb production team and cast. =D
and because of Queen Seondeok, i've become a fan of Kim Nam Gil already. i really love his flair for acting. =D really such a pity that he has to serve National Service at the peak of his career when he has been acting minor and supporting roles for so many years already. i hope his fans in Korea will stand by him for 2 years and i really wish that you will make a comeback with a powerful role, as compared to Bidam. =D he has roles so minor in My Lovely Sam Soon and the dead husband of the Geum Soon in Be Strong, Guem Soon! both dramas that are very popular, but we all failed to notice Kim Nam Gil. Queen Seondeok brought him to fame and now, he is in National Service... AHHHH~. please be back 2 years later!
KIM NAM GIL, you are officially on my list of "favourite actors" with Song Seung Heon, Park Hae Jin, Kim Bum and Jang Hyeok. i hope T.O.P is joining the list soon. =D
next drama will be Slave Hunters. it's not long but i think it's nice!. =D
ok i shall share 1 more video before i leave to watch Valencia vs Manchester United.
latest cover of mine. see the descriptions for more!. =D
thank you for coming here always. yes, you! no one else, you.
i will try my best to blog more often. =D
jayne. =D
Sunday, September 12, 2010{ 10:17 PM }
hey all. =D
hm. i've had people asking me why i haven't blog in such a long time. and well, firstly, i'm surprised that so many people actually do read my blog. just that you all don't tag. =P anyway, thanks for coming to this boring blog so often to check me out.
to answer the question. hm, i've been thinking of changing this blog's format to make it more interesting. no longer making it a narrating of daily happenings, which even i myself find boring. and it's really quite difficult for me to recall what happened every single day. so, i will be changing my blogging style. to be make it more interesting? i don't know. i just hope to make it a pleasant and enjoyable visit or read for you and for me. =D
as of now, i am still thinking. i already have a few ideas in mind. i hope they will materialise soon with my efficiency. =D
thank you all for your visits!. =D
jayne. =D
Friday, August 27, 2010{ 10:06 PM }
decided to blog now because my weekend is awfully packed. with exciting and unexciting events. i shall elaborate on them later, if i remember. but from what i see now, i will not have 5 hours of free time during the weekends. i finished my studying for today much more earlier than expected.. so yup, here i am!. =D
Sunday, 22nd August 2010
base on my Tweets, Sunday was kind of a peaceful day for me. i stayed at home to study and it is the day where i finally started on Psychology. well, it really wasn't easy for me to start on the textbook. if you have no idea how a Psychology textbook is like, it's just really big blocks and chunks of words. if you think your Sec 3 or 4 textbook is dull and boring, try my Psych textbook. phew~. my eyes can just close after a page or 2 even though the content is interesting. but the use of words... is... dull. but the usage of words is essential to bring out the essence of that particular theory or example... so, i really can't say too much of my own opinion on this. it will contradict everything by the end of my self-debate.
to better illustrate the difficulty, let me use an example. i can finish 3 chapters of Sociology in a day, at the very least. but for Psychology, sometimes i cannot even finish 1 chapter in a day. that's how detailed Psychology is. phew.
Fulham vs Manchester United at night. well, i think that we played well. but due to some serious defending and attacking errors, we drew the game. as said, Nani shouldn't take the penalty at all. and what was Evans doing at the goal as he watched the ball go past him? at the level he is at now, Evans will never reach the best that a defender can be like Vidic and Ferdinand. John O'Shea is the team's weakest link. he is weak in all aspects of football. defend, attack, pass, head, block and most importantly, footballing sense. i sometimes feel that he look lost on the pitch. sigh. i hope we can get over the errors and do much better tomorrow at Old Trafford as we play against West Ham.
Monday, 23rd August 2010
went to Republic Polytechnic to study with Clarence and Sandy! gosh it has been a month before i see them both! i really like meeting up with old friends after such a long while. it's like we work on our own for whatever we wanna achieve for ourselves, but we still do not forget our friends and the way we value our friendships is what i love the most. =D
and as usual, waking up at a particular time for me during non-schooling days is a huge chore for me. i really am bad in waking up during non-schooling days. the motivation is just different for me to get up more quickly and easily. =P
and i have to say that my current alarm tone is one that really fails to wake me up. because i love the song so much, i always let it ring and i am just plain reluctant to stop it. it's Stay by BigBang. =P
anyway, yup we studied at RP and jason ho joined us a little while later. i find that place really nice to study. not that NP is not good, but it is just too far and out of the way if 3 people who stay in the North go to NP just to study. RP is definitely the better choice. =) while studying, the guys were really kind of sick as they saw girls walking past. their thinking can be really disturbing sometimes. but i don't know why, i don't take these as "unacceptable" and i sometimes even join in the fun. or i just listen. =P i should find their thoughts revolting, but i am not. somebody tell me why. 0...o
the studying was quite productive and i am glad to have spent some time with my precious friends. i admit that i am not a very good friend when it comes to meeting up and spending quality time with each other. sometimes i am forgetful, sometimes i am not. the way i prioritise things in my life is somewhat personal and maybe very unacceptable to you, and so sometimes i really do not have the time or space for my friends. and i can't say that it's because i have "too many friends" because i put priorities over certain groups of friends. i am not Miss Popular who got calls and texts so much so that my phone will keep ringing/vibrating... but it is the individualistic nature of me that i will want to be left alone for most of the time. so i really thank my friends for understanding what i really want. thank you so much!. =D
i don't know why. i feel that i can relate to music and singing so much better than to talk and share my problems with a person, no matter how close that person is to me personally. i think that it is really obvious that i am in love with music and singing so much. but i really do not have the talent for taking up any instruments. i tried really hard before. but... i don't know. maybe i have a disability in learning musical instruments. the furthest i can go besides singing is lyrics-writing. sigh. sometimes, it's really depressing to not being able to be more of a complete and skillful person who likes music and also able to play it. ok fine, nevermind. i get too dramatic whenever i touch on this topic. =P and if you realised, the way i think gets more and more abstract. and the way i phrase it gets weirder and weirder. ...
walked around in Causeway Point and as i stepped into Music Junction, they were playing Where U At! i lingered in the store until the whole of Solar finished playing. i just hid in 1 corner as i quietly mouthed Wedding Dress. =P and please, do not say that i did not warn you. never ever buy BigBang stuffs from Music Junction please! they are all parallel imports and they all look so fake! urgh. =P
reached home and was awfully tired due to 1 whole day of studying. slept for a whole 2 hours because i could simply function no more. the first time i had to take a nap since the break started. sigh~ but i was all full of energy after the nap. =D
as i checked Twitter after i woke up, Wedding Dress English Version's preview was out! although that preview was of really low quality, i know that Taeyang will never ever disappoint me. =D
carried on with my studies and i finished that chapter before watching Man City vs Liverpool. man, i have to be honest and say that the more i study PCS-related stuffs, the more i feel that i will not pursue a career in this field. but i can never say for sure, right? the worst thing of my decision-making is always due to my multi-interest. i am interested in so many things that i can never ever give up certain things. the dream for me right now is really unrealistic and even wishful thinking, to some people. but really, i am skeptical the possibility of it. which means, i sometimes think that it is possible. but sometimes, i just mock myself for being too naive and unrealistic. sigh. i just don't know. we shall see things go.
Man City vs Liverpool was quite a match for a neutral. i am anti both Man City and Liverpool, so i think that equals to a neutral. but because Liverpool was playing so badly, i was cheering for Man City by the 60th minute. sigh~ Liverpool were ripped to pieces. it was a great debut for James Milner. Adam Johnson and Joe Hart were very very impressive. Joe Hart was the star performer once again. they played really well. and i am a Manchester United fan. ... so you can imagine how crap Liverpool were.
Tuesday, 24th August 2010
as usual, it was my holiday-break routine. out of bed at around 2pm, anything before that will be considered early. then be on Jappie (the name of my laptop) until 4pm for BigBang news on Facebook, Twitter and Big Bang Updates and mails that i should reply to and then i proceed on to studying. =)
dinner at Thai Express with dad and John. Tom Yam Crayfiish Glass Noodles. i am really a Tom Yam and spicy-stuff lover. they really do spice up my life and give me a kick whenever i needed it. =) then i bought a storage container to store all my BigBang items. my Solar Deluxe Edition and my incoming Big Show DVD 2010, Solar International Edition and Shine A Light DVD. =D WOOO. and all 3 of them comes with posters!. =D i get all excited whenever i speak of them. sorry. =P
and bombs were waiting for me as i was away! Wedding Dress English Version was officially out by the time i reach home and gosh, my heart melted immediately. it's definitely different from the original version and of course, it received criticism. whatever it is, all i can say that i like this version and i am glad that Taeyang is receiving recognition for whatever he has done. he deserves all the love from fans all over the world for his awesome talent and character. =D
there is lyrics if you watch it on YouTube. it's under Descriptions. when i listen to it a month ago, i can't wait for the English one. now i listen to the English one, i sing along to it in Korean. 0..0 but anyway, i really like it. it's like i can really feel his pain... there are slight changes to the meaning of the lyrics, but the gist is still there. gosh, the English lyrics is making me cry. =( but most of all, thank you so much, TAEYANG!. =D
and YG officially announced that Taeyang's I'll Be There MV (which is the video here) reached 1 million views in just 2 days since its release! it even received praise from the American music industry. GOSH~. i really hope that they will debut in the US and get to the peak that they are so capable of achieving. =D
then news came out that Beautiful Hangover MV will be released the next day!. WHOOOO! V.I.Ps were trying to make Beautiful Hangover trend worldwide in Twitter but i don't think it did. i included Beautiful Hangover in almost all of my tweets. =P
and oh, before i forget, let me introduce you to Jishy, the fish that hangs on my table lamp. he is awesomely cute after i've drawn his nose and mouth with my highlighter and marker! i always flap his fins when i sing to BigBang's songs. he is swimming in front of me right now because i just smacked him. =DD
Jishy says HI!!!. =DD
Wednesday, 25th August 2010
have to get up early because i was meeting Sandy for lunch and study session! i check Twitter before i totally got out of contact with my bed and after seeing that Beautiful Hangover MV is released, i felt so much more motivated to get out of bed. =) and as expected, the MV did not disappoint me at all! the visuals and the angles of all the shots were really novel and it has been quite a while since i liked a MV not because of its plot or that i am totally in love with the song. because of how it is taken. =D
=DDDD ki mi wa my beautiful hangoverrrrrrr~~~. =D
right, so i had a really awesome lunch with Sandy. it has been quite some time since i had lunch because of my holiday-break schedule. lunch time is far over by the time i get up. but anyway, lunch at Breeks was awesome! i really love the spaghetti with mushroom sauce and smoked salmon. =DD
then Clarence joined us and we went to study at Republic Poly. =D
as much as i tried to counter my need and desire for coffee, it was unsuccessful at all. i simply need it to start my day off in order for my day to be productive. i was really dozing off after lunch and i was only at the 2nd page of the textbook. ... so i went to the 7 eleven to look for coffee of some sort. and i saw this!
it's Ah Ka Pae Ra. which is A-Cafe-la, which is the name of this brand, i think. below it is Ba Nil Ra Ra Ttae, which is Vanilla Latte. =DD
this coffee is really awesome. totally lit me up for work. the aroma is so nice and the sweetness is just right. i am infamous for not adding sugar nor milk to my coffee, fyi. and, it's $2 for 270ml of it. the bottle is so small and cute! it's not those 500ml bottle of coffee. 500ml of coffee at one go is crazy. 270ml is just nice and $2 is definitely worth it for its quality. =D
Sandy came to stay over and while she was coming over, i used Jappie and found out that BIGBANG are coming to Singapore! i knew of this Kpop concert quite long ago, but seriously, i never ever would have expected Big Bang to be one of the 6 bands to be here. they are Big Bang, for crying out loud! they are the biggest shots of Kpop!. i am still coming to terms with the news right now. and because YG still haven't release official announcement on this, i am still really doubting it. but whatever it is, the excitement was really crazy! Sandy was kinda taken aback by my craziness but i was jumping, screaming and shouting in my room. i totally lost my image in front of her. she kept saying that it was not-Jayne to be like that. i absolutely agree. Sandy has the privilege to see the crazy me.
but seriously, they are really coming????!!!!! rumours are that the best tickets are priced at SGD 298 but it's really not yet official. ticketing details will be released soon and i am stalking Proof Label's Facebook and Twitter every second i am online. i am so going if BigBang is really coming. i just cannot miss it, for crying out loud! i am going to order the V.I.P light stick and wear Taeyang's Solar T-Shirt there. =D BIGBANG BIGBANG HWAITING!. =D
yeewei, liting and i were super excited over this ok!! soshified, shawol and vip! all our favourites will be together on that stage! how cool is this?! OMGOMOGMOGMG. i still cannot believe this. =P this is simply too awesome! after all the excitement, i really hope that this whole concert will work out. i don't want my feelings to be cheated. =P
AGAGAAGAGA. okok. so anyway, what we did at night while Sandy was here... was. well, nothing much. i went crazy over BigBang, Sandy was totally shocked. then. i finally calmed down after a very long time and we went back to studying. and we talked well into the morning. we slept at 6am. those long talks you always have with a friend because you don't get to see him/her often are really nice. =D but we got so tired, it's the first time we immediately fell asleep after i announce that we are going to sleep. =P
Thursday, 26th August 2010
we woke up at 2pm when she actually had a appointment. but when you can't even open your eyes properly, forget about going anyway to do anything with purpose. ... rest is essential, not sleep. your eyes can be close and you are sleeping, but you are so troubled and keep on having nightmares and all, then what's the point of sleeping?? resting can just be listening to music and doing stuffs to take your mind off whatever that is bothering you. it makes a whole lot of difference. =D
and and, BigBang's latest single in Japanese, Somebody to Luv. =DDD i am now really into this song. =D
anyway, we woke up, i used Jappie and we had lunch at Kopitiam. i had the same thing again. no prize for guessing right. =P (i think it was at least my 4th time in a week) we went to MacDonalds to study and we were invited to leave as dinner time was approaching. ...
came back up and i received news that stores in Causeway Point were having discounts. and so, we went there really spontaneously. =P it was really last minute without any planning but it was kind of underwhelming. nonetheless, i bought lots of stuffs! =D
4 t-shirts and a pair of shoes for $63!. =D i am really obsessed with t-shirts and shoes. hoodies, jackets, jeans, accessories, bags!. =D i have a soft spot for them all. =P i really look forward to wearing all my new clothes. now i even got a list for them in case i ever forget to wear them. and i am planning when to wear them and on what occasion to wear them because i believe the first time really does needs a good start. =D
i have much more t-shirts than most people do, but i really can and do remember each of them and the occasions that i wear them to. from my Psychology textbook, "we receive so much useless sensory information each day, our memory system has mechanisms for getting rid of unneeded sensory information." i have shortage of such mechanisms.
i really like the feeling of buying clothes and apparels that i like. if it's at a cheap price, i think i can fly to the sky. =D typical girl shopaholic? whatever. =P to me, it's really hard to come by something that i really like. and if i can buy it and own it, it means that the item is really fated to be with me and be mine. you can say that i am thinking too much into it, but that's how i really see it. and to me, it is not about showing off whatever branded stuffs i have. i don't even own anything from those high-end brands like Chanel and Prada. i always look out for sales and only buy when they are below normal retail price. and i am never in a rush to buy anything without considering it's worth. and so yeah, i think i am a smart shopper. =D and to me, it's really not about looking cool and nice. it's more of being presentable and to me, i show whoever i am meeting or whoever that looks at me at that time the respect by dressing appropriately. it's really basic courtesy and respect. =D
and for the rest of the night, i did nothing much but youtubing BigBang videos. on Wednesday night, i screamed and sang so hard that my voice went hoarse and my face turned hot and red. last night, i laughed so hard that my voice went hoarse from all the funny BigBang videos. they were mostly videos when they just debuted, when Taeyang's hair is still in braids (or whatever you call them). =P
Friday, 27th August 2010
woke up really reluctantly, seriously. it has been like this for a few days running already. i always put my alarm at 1pm even though i do not need to get up by then. i just let it ring to remind me of the time, which is damn annoying. and i got up at 2pm. studied, blah~....
was really tired and so i took a few pictures of my room using Jammie (my camera). i must be the only one person in this whole wide world to show off such a messy room. but i always like my room to be messy. because... well, it's just who i am. =D
i hardly make the bed after getting up during holidays-break and when i know i will be in the room for the whole day. to me, making the bed is only for show and display purposes. Jappie is abandoned to the side while i am studying to prevent me from getting distracted. my phone is charging. and so, there are a lot of cables, wires and chargers in my room. i myself have tripped over them for countless times.
from a higher view. look at those messy cables on the right side. and on the right side there is my beloved CD player, which always has a CD inside at all time. =D
my messy-beyond-words desk. the desk is decorated with photos taken with my beloved friends. all my necessities can be found on this desk. from contact lens solution to hole puncher to ticket stubs to snacks to to-do-notes to facial mask.... EVERYTHING. and that is why there is always not enough space on my desk. the sides and compartments are all stuffed with these and that. there is just enough room for my legs under the table because there are boxes of things there too. not even the slightest space is spared. =P
i think i really do need a de-clutter-er. i am bad in organising things. i am only good in organising non-material things like events and parties. =P
ok i am sort of done with my weekly report of happenings in my life. right now, i am playing Connection, I'll Be There (English), I'll Be There and Wedding Dress (English) on repeat. i want my copy to arrive soooooon!. =P
their latest live performance, just earlier in the day today. i love BIGBANG to the max!. =D they really make me so much more happier. more and more friends that met me after i became obsessed with them say so. =P
OH OH!. i forgot to mention that Taeyang's Solar International Edition is appearing in charts of Western countries like US and Canada!. OMG i am so happy for him!. he is finally gaining all the recognition! i really hope that BigBang will debut in US. they will be daebak (big hit) !. =DDD
and i have dedicated 2 hours of my everyday time to BigBang. on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and BigBang Updates. =D
and with the lyrics of Wedding Dress (English) out, i am so tempted to do a cover of it. i can sing it at once, which kinda surprised me. we shall see how. =D
i am really excited for tomorrow! going to meet YanLin and Gena and the guys. not sure if they are coming, i hope they are!. =P my beloved friends... =DDD
and so, i am sleeping earlier than usual. and because i forcefully forced myself up today, i am so damn tired now. phew.
i will be out for the whole of Saturday. reach home, Manchester United vs West Ham. then a few hours of sleep and i have a trip to Malaysia. phew. my weekend is packed. then meeting with LiTing on Monday. book me as soon as you need me to be at wherever you want me to be, don't say i never warn you. sigh. =X
till then. seeya!
BIGBANG!. =D
jayne. =D
Sunday, August 22, 2010{ 12:16 AM }
this week has really passed in a blur. i don't know why... maybe it's because of my unusual sleeping pattern. if you still have no idea how i live during holidays (or supposedly so), your afternoon is my morning, your night is my afternoon, your middle of the night is my night. i only sleep at your dawn. and my average wake-up time is 1pm to 2pm, 12pm will be considered as early. yeah, that's the gist of the whole idea. i don't know why i prefer living like this, i prefer to be active when the world is quiet and vice. just my own unique preference, i guess. =)
as i blog, i am constantly referring back to my Tweets, if not, i will never be able to blog successfully. because as of now, my mind is is currently in a fuzzy state. =P
warning: this post is going to be wordy because i haven't been in much action this week. =P
Sunday- 15th August 2010
it was the day where i really was determined to pen down all the story outlines that i have in mind. my last story ended quite abruptly due to my lack of persistence and capability to come out with a satisfying masterpiece. i'm never much of a writer. i do not have the writing flair that so many budding writers out there possesses, but i think that the thing i have in me is the stories that i have to tell for my characters. i don't know how to use flowery and smooth-sailing language to express the message that i am trying to convey, but i believe in my content... but i know that it will never be enough. but still, just writing it down does no harm right. the ideas are constantly coming in and my inspirations are flowing real smoothly. if i don't pen it down, my head will really explode. i spent the whole of the afternoon writing it... the details and all. i thought the storyline was quite good. we shall see if i publish it online or what. maybe i will. maybe it will be forever in my notebook. who knows, right? =P
and well, the main thing is.... as i was writing so smoothly and i was really engrossed in writing. unknowingly , my eyes were flowing with tears. say i'm not really saddened by anything or whatever, but maybe it's because of how i always relate and put myself into my characters that makes me that emotional. =P
spent the evening watching Real Sound by Taeyang and it's the last episode of it. was really quite surprised that it only has got 4 episodes. really wished that it was longer because this show sort of documents his personal thoughts and the other side of Taeyang that we normally don't see. he is really an individual with lots of values and character in him. i really admire him for his determination and hard work he has put in in order to reach the stage he is in today. he is awesome! he will always be my favourite in Big Bang, no matter how much i gush about G-Dragon. they are both similar, and yet different. it's not fair and right to compare. =D
Taeyang said he like food like spaghetti and pizza! i was having Pizza Hut at that time. hahhha!. =D okok, sorry. crazy fan in action. =P
went on e-bay to look out for Big Bang goods and i am so damn glad that i do not have a credit card and paypal account. if not i will be in deep trouble now. i go all out for whatever that i like and support, some of you might have witnessed the exaggerating extent of "all out". but after all the exploring around, never ever buy from an e-bay seller. they sell so much more expensive than blogshops! i don't mind paying for that item, but my principle is that the money must be well spent and worth the value!. =P
first match of EPL for both Arsenal and Liverpool are against each other. and i have to say that this match has all your dramas. red cards, unlikely equaliser, etc etc. but personally for me, i feel that Arsenal could have done so much more better to win the match. they were 1 man up for quite some time but they did not use their numerical advantage and let it a goal instead. they could have win the game but they didn't. but ok, their opponents are Liverpool, so we shall all sit on that fact.
Monday- 16th August 2010
met YeeWei in school to study together. and the feeling of going back to school after just a week is pleasantly surprising. i actually missed the train ride and all to school. i get to listen to Big Bang in the train, i just look around and observe people... and after i stepped on campus ground, all the familiarity comes back. feels good to be in NP, i must say. it has become my home, for some reason. =D
yeah and we talked a lot about k-pop stuffs. mostly about Big Bang. cause i'm new to being a "fangirl" and so i have lots to learn from LiTing and YeeWei. hahahha i just cannot stop talking to YeeWei because i just feel that i have endless things to say to her. she is sooo cute and her perspective on things are very different from others, that's how i feel. i like being with ahwei. and studying with her is really productive. i can ask her things, we discuss it together, look for answers until we are certain of it and we hardly distract each other unless we're having breaks. =P
speaking of breaks! i reward myself with 1 video view on youtube after each chapter is reviewed and gosh, i must say i love using youtube on my phone! the image and quality is so good! i am constantly looking for reasons to cherish and love my phone. =D
the rain was very strong and heavy while i am on my way home. my obsession with the rain is one that i cannot find the reason for also. maybe it's because i like to wear jackets and long sleeves out. i like jackets, long sleeves, long pants and hoodies. i like to wear them out. but it is simply not possible in Singapore. sometimes, even jeans are killing me. i need a cooler climate. =P
for the record, my obsession with apparels are black (and white) graphic and vintage-designed t-shirts, Manchester United merchandises, caps, sneakers (high tops and low dunks inclusive), hoodies and jackets. oh! accessories like wristbands and rings... AW MAN. i am dead if i have credit cards. urgh. =X
i had 麻辣双鱼粗米粉汤 for dinner, i still remember. it was damn awesome! and it came in a HUGE bowl to justify it's value. it's $6... 0..0 but i was hungry enough to finish it. i didn't have anything for 7 hours before that. =P
then out with John for his supper at midnight. the usual midnight, not the midnight by my definition. it was really cool ya know. having the windows open in the car at 1.30am... i like this kind of rides. makes me look at the world differently sometimes. =P
then we watched Manchester United vs Newcastle. i was really anticipating the match because it has been really long since i watch a competitive match of theirs. please do exclude Community Shield. 0..0 anyway, i am really pleased at how they are performing. older players Giggs and Scholes grabbed all the headlines and at the end of the day, it's always the team effort. =D MANCHESTER UNITED for life!. =D
right. to be honest. i wasn't really paying attention to the match. i was... more of surfing the net most of the time because it was kinda boring at times. i was looking for BigBang goods, comparing prices.
and i was looking for sneakers. my sneaker collection is feeling lonely. =( and i found a Japanese brand called MADFOOT! the spree is over in that particular blogshop and so i tried all my might to look for a physical shop that sells it in Singapore. gosh, the price that they are selling it at is 3 times more than the blogshop. i shall wait for the next spree then. =(
Tuesday- 17th August 2010
there was nothing much to Tuesday except that i was studying. if you minus all my Tweets that gushes about or are BigBang related, my day was quite dull. spent the entire day studying Sociology.
started to Tweet with #happyGday for G-Dragon's birthday on the 18th. you should have seen how it trended! gosh, feel so damn proud of myself. =D
the plan was to meet Denise at 10am in school. so it means i have to get up at 8am, at the latest, if i do not want to be late or anything. but i only went to sleep at 5a.m.++ because my mind was sooo occupied with all those nonsensical hilarious thoughts and scenes. i shall pen them down later, i think. before i forget them. =P
Wednesday- 18th August 2010
i seriously have no idea how i can even get out of bed. but i still did. and... well. went to school and we studied real comfortably in the library. =D
it really nice to see XinXin after so long! cause we didn't really get to talk much during the outing. and... we have so much to say to each other! it's like we are afraid of the other to miss out on any details of what's going on in our lives.
i cannot stop smiling like a total idiot for the entire day because it's G-Dragon's birthday. yes, i know. it's his birthday, why should i be the one who's so happy? i don't know... was tweeting about G-Dragon for the whole day and i just listened to his songs. i am really liking A Boy more and more. the more i put my attention on the lyrics, the more i really admire him as a singer-songwriter. he is a genius, no doubt. his determination, his passion, his pure talent. =D
can't help but keep thinking that this is my first time ever since my primary school days where i was so crazy over Energy and Jay Chou. and hence, the name of my blog. i am not so into them already but i still retained that url. but anyway, XinXin was also surprised at my obsession over Big Bang. "first time that i see you go insane over men...". OMO. =P
we had Chicken Chop for lunch! gosh. it has been way too long since i've had such good and cheap western food. not to forget it's just in campus! everyone should eat it once in their lifetime. it's too awesome to be missed. =P
and so, as usual. playful and nonsensical after lunchtime.
from top to bottom:
ngyi sin sin, deur ni seu (lee xin xin, denise) ngyang chu ngyi (yang chu yi) chae ngyin (jayne) nguae dying deu rae seu (wedding dress)
i know this romanisation sounds weird, there is this pronunciation rule. which i am lazy to elaborate here. as long as you get the point. =P
ha ru ha ru (haru haru) byig beng (big bang) te ngyang (taeyang) so neon ngyi ngyeo ( A Boy) na man pa ra poa (Only Look At Me) saranghaeyo, which i made a mistake.. yes i am still a noob. i will improve. =P
and XinXin took a series of pictures of me but i am so not going to put it here nor on Facebook. it's too embarrassing. urgh. =P
we didn't really study that much, but i still completed what i expected of myself. partly due to the after-lunch-dozing-bug that really pulled me off the track for studying. then we ended up talking and all... though we still studied. =P
then i suddenly feel like going to the Multimedia section of our library purely because we haven't been there before. and i was up for experiencing something new. to a certain extent, i was bored of all the same thing in school. i was craving for something new... and so we did go into the Multimedia section.
we were all excited to borrow the films but found out that they were feature films and we have to return them the next day. the ones that were normal loans were documentaries and educational. HOWEVER. the exciting part came.
DENISE found Big Bang Big Show 2009! i was literally dumbfounded there. my mouth was hung open, i was so surprised that i couldn't even manage to scream. Ngee Ann Polytechnic Lien Ying Chow Library has Big Bang DVDs... OMO OMO. and i can borrow it for 2 weeks! that's the greatest thing man! and of course, i grabbed it at first sight and went to borrow it. there were hitches during the borrowing process but when i finally got it done successfully, i was on cloud nine. HAPPY is an understatement, seriously. =D they also have tonnes of BoA and Ayumi. aw man. NP is just... awesome. =D
after leaving that section, i noticed a "Request for accompanying material(s) at Counter" and i thought the materials should be just some headphones or what. but i was curious and just went to ask for it. the librarian took quite some time to get back to me and what she was holding nearly got me screaming there and there.
*flips the PHOTOBOOK nonchalantly* "it's just a photobook, do you want it?"
i tried all my might to hide my excitement.
"oh yeah. why not? ok."
if you are a fan of anything, you will then understand my excitement. it's too amazing to be true, seriously. and so, i placed the stuffs in my bag cautiously and went home eagerly. =P
thank you so much XINXIN! for discovering the DVD!. =D
went home, unopened the DVDs and i thought that the school must have some precautions to prevent loaners from copying and reproducing the materials. but i just wanted to try my luck. and OMO. it worked. i have been too great on luck. or is it all fated? it's kind of creepy. =P
and of course, i will want to document this whole process. and since i need to return the DVD and photobook by 1st Sept, i took photos of it. as expected, i took so much photos that my battery went dead. and as usual, i have a spare one on standby. =D
the library record that i have. =D it is soooooo cool! i have Big Bang on my loan records!. =D
the loan receipt from borrowing Big Show 2009. =D
the loan receipt for borrowing the photobook. =D
how it looks on the outside. =D
the first DVD which contains the main concert performances. =D
the 2nd DVD which consist of hilarious VCRs and all the makings of the concert. =D
and i shall only upload 5 photos which i have taken of the photobook, in case i get into any trouble of any sort. =P
minus away the anti-climax-ness of the code tag, i like this picture because it puts BIGBANG in the spotlight. =D
all ready for Big Show 2009!. =D
the gentle side of him with his dog. and he is always having fun with kids. =D
he is one leader that i have the most respect for. his talent, his passion and his determination. =D
i never have thought Seungri as the one who will hold a guitar and be so serious in singing. =P
and so, i could not wait any longer to watch the DVD though it was already late and i was tired. but seriously, i cannot just go to sleep without watching it, knowing that i have it on my table. and so i watched Big Show 2009 although i was damn exhausted.
i've watched pretty much of their performances in Big Show 2009 on YouTube but the feeling is different when you are viewing it in a higher quality with better sound system and also with bigger screen. all i can say is that they did not disappoint me at all. they have not disappoint me before, as a fan. they ended my day with a huge smile on my face and every single one of their performances showed the effort they put in and all... it was awesome!. =D
they are so young, yet they are so capable of such great stunts. they rule, really. =D
Thursday- 19th August 2010
Big Bang 4th Anniversary! was spamming Twitter with #bigbang4ever and it was no.1 on trending for a few hours! YES!. =D 4 years, they grown so much and improved so much. the more i check them out, the more i find them worth my time and money. =D
basically i did Sociology past year papers for the whole day. and gosh, it made me very very very depressed. it was really much more difficult and tricky than i expected it to be. i have to spend so much time to answer only 1 question and i am not even sure if i am correct or not. i need to practice more man. thank goodness i have Big Bang with me as i toil over the questions. =)
only used the lappie late at night and G-Dragon has a new hairdo! saw it from the message to V.I.Ps and they are really nice and the responsibility that they have towards V.I.Ps are really what i respect the most about them. =D
he is always surprising people with his hairstyle and his fashion sense. =D if you are interested enough to know what they are saying, you can leave a tag here or something. once again. although i don't reply to tags, i check my blog everyday, ok? =)
and HA! XinXin suddenly has the idea of dying her hair blond. gosh. that's really tempting. i have been contemplating that idea for quite some time already. all the colours i've tried on my hair are all natural colours like copper, bronze and brown. blue seemed to be a little bit too extreme but i will really want to try it one day when i finally can muster the courage. but right now, blond is really tempting me. there's just too many factors to be considered. it's not like i can turn it back to whatever colour i want to next day if i don't like it. i will think it through properly before doing anything drastic. but my next scheduled highlight session will be just before the next semester starts. october... so i still have some time to think it through. do give me your advices. =P
and yes, to a certain extent, i admit, GD influenced my decision. 0..0
and i started to download all the songs that Big Bang started out with. and gosh. they really surprised me. cause John only listens to their songs after Lies. and so... i really like some of their songs. my favourites are Oh Ma Baby, Make Love and Nice Person. the style is not really the same and the typical Big Bang you know. but i really like the way they play with vocals. =D
and TAEYANG's new song I'll Be There's MV is out! OMO the visuals and the choreography! TAEYANG is so going to reach new heights with the release of this song. even Perez Hilton likes it. =P
this song also has a English version. OMO i cannot wait to get my hands on his International Edition of Solar. it comes with a poster. OMO OMO. =DDDD
and i watched the special features DVD of Big Show 2009. cause. i was shaking and almost falling off the chair from laughing. they are so damn hilarious! the VCR of them in the amusement undercover and Big Bang Virus are just earth-shakingly hilarious!. they really do light up my life. =D
and i think i will never stop looking for the answer as to why i am suddenly so crazy over Big Bang. why why why? the only logical explanation that i can offer myself is that they helped me tide over a very difficult period of time in my life. they are more than an idol group to me, definitely. they are who i admire, look up to and respect. their music and performances brought joy to my life and the way they worked so hard to be where they are today really inspired me... =D
got emo at night because of... i don't know. just some sudden rush of emotions. maybe it's due to the study fatigue. but as usual, i got over it with sleep and i am all good again for the day. =D
Friday- 20th August 2010
the highlight of the day was that i went out with ZUONI (john)!. =D i went to Herbalife to get my stuffs first and we went to Somerset 313 to walk around!. =D and i know it's embarrassing to say this. but it's really the 1st time that i'm there. i was super excited to check out all the shops. the t-shirts, shoes, hoodies, jackets, CDs... OMO OMO.
gosh i really love the Limited Edition Vault there. what i find this store different from the one at Queensway in there this store has sneakers of more classic and vintage designs whereas the one at Queensway has more of funky and loud designs. but they are really awesome! my eyes all lighted up when i see those cooooool sneakers. high tops, low dunks, pointed, leather, canvas, etc etc. they are all awesome!. =D
John did not find the HMV there impressive but i really like it there too! i like their collection of Muse t-shirts and they are really the place to look for k-pop CDs. but please. do not buy from there. the price can induce current within you. source out for blogshops. =) anyway, i am really happy to have seen the singles of Big Bang that i never knew existed. =D
then we had dinner at this Imperial Treasure hongkong fastfood concept restaurant. it looked posh but then the prices of the food are really reasonable for such quality, ambiance and location. =D
i am really surprised at the amount of charsiew i got. it almost covered the whole of the noodles. it's really nice!. =D
i shall not upload John's niu nan mian here. it looks damn unappetizing but it is really nice too. =D
went home after that and i had a really nice pastry from the Imperial Treasure Bakery. i am not sure whether it's cake or bread. but i will take note of the name the next time i buy it. i was so determined to finish it, i forgot to take a quick picture of it. next time, i promise. =P
then i ironed my clothes while listening to Big Bang using dad's marantz system. gosh. my Philips player is nothing compared to marantz. seriously. all i could remember was i lost i am in the world of Big Bang and how loudly and openly i sang to their songs... the quality of the music brings the whole idea to a totally new level. =D
did a bit of Sociology and then i went back to using the lappie. suddenly felt like going back to Wikipedia to check them out. in case i miss out anything i should know. and really. i missed out big time. i like Only Look At Me so much and yet i didn't know that G-Dragon has a Part 2 version of it. quickly downloaded it and i soooo love it too! it is really different from Taeyang's version. but still like it very much!. videos down there. =D and i spent the night just looking at videos. and i am more determined to buy G-Dragon's Shine A Light Concert DVD. =D
Saturday- 21st August 2010
i spent the first half of the day doing Sociology non stop. it came to a point where i am literally dragging through each question. a huge sigh of relieve comes after i'm done with a whole question. it's really tough. it was really with the help of G-Dragon's Only Look At Me then i managed to keep going on. huge load off my chest when i finally managed to finish the entire paper. phew.
oh oh oh! they have a preview of their new song out already! it's called Somebody to Luv and i cannot wait for the whole song to be released! their comeback with a full album is SOOOOOON. =DD
made dinner for myself. was really clueless on what to make but the lazy me bought the same hargao and siewmai again. but i bought something different too. Honey Pork Ribs!. =D
i just cooked to noodles with stock, threw the ribs in, microwaved the hargao and siewmai and the chilli sauce are leftovers from KFCs. =P geehee. and TADA. one meal for jayne. =D
i managed to finish the ribs without dirtying my fingers. give me credit for that ok. =D
searched for videos to watch while eating. and videos are down there!. =D
all right. then it was time for football! gosh how much do i miss sitting in front of the television to watch sports. football and tennis especially. was watching Arsenal vs Blackpool. it was a rout. ... but anyway, still a good game. nicely done, Walcott. please silence all your critics with whatever you have!. =D
ok! videos time! the section that i love most because i really like to share what i like. =D
i really like this piano cover. it's very easy for me to sing along too and i am aiming to do a cover of Wedding Dress. soon, i promise. =D
he sings, he dance and he steals my heart. =D
he has so much more space on stage for his talent. he gives me a totally new and different feeling when he is on stage solo. =D
i was thinking. ain't this Forever With You? hm. but anyway. they are awesome. their greatest asset is their ability to sing live. =D
the promotion video for Taeyang's upcoming concert on 24th September, i think. it's going to be real good! they must have a DVD out for this concert!.
performance with Taeyang during Shine A Light. you see their chemistry and how nicely the song is done by the 2 of them!. =D
and this video really touched me. the friendship and love between these 2 person from boys to man. i really envy their friendship so much. they have so much love, respect and understanding for each other! =D
live performance of I'll Be There. be prepared to be star-struck!. =D
GD is a caring hyung. not everyone can do it like he does. =D
i feel so sad when i see the boy crying so hard. but i cannot stop laughing because GD can't cry at all!!. cause it's too damn dramatic. =P
they were still newcomers and were really overwhelmed and touched by V.I.Ps and once Seungri starts crying, others too. can't believe that they were once like that. they are getting stronger and stronger. no doubt. =D
my favourite Lies performance. guess who's the conductor? =D
GD as a playful dongsaeng. =D
last but not least. this video is from Big Bang 1 Night 2 Days, which is included in Big Show 2010. it's like the 5 of them went on a trip and they had games and activities that brought them closer together after not spending much time together due to their solo activities. i chose this part to be uploaded here because i cried while watching it.
everyone was saying how a difficult year 2009 was for GD because of the controversies and criticism he faced. he endured and overcame them one by one. and it wasn't easy for him at all. being a leader of the group and of himself, he has such high expectations that he will not allow himself to falter in front of the camera and his members, whom his is suppose to take care of. it was really touching when Taeyang, his 10 years of close friend, wanted to say comforting words but GD just refused to be comforted. though it was all jokingly expressed, i can really see their concern for each other, especially from Seungri too. he is the youngest in the group but he feels so much for his hyung, whom he saw was having a great deal of hard time. T.O.P really surprised me with that exceptionally message to GD. and yes, i teared. =(
and when it was GD's turn.. he, as usual, was his crazy self. but he became serious when he wanted to convey his message.
"i will lead you at the front, i want you to push me at my back..."
is the final straw for me to tear. he is only 23 years old, for crying out loud. i always feel that people are really harsh in judging them just because they are celebrities. they are growing as well! and also, with his message, i look forward to their upcoming album more than ever! it's totally produced by G-Dragon himself and he wrote all the songs too! this boy/man, has all my respect and admiration. =D a few minutes into the video until the part i mention. =)
and G-Dragon, being infamous for always waking up late, woke up earlier than some of them in order not to bring the group down for punishment. even he himself is shocked, not to mention the others. he is.... beyond words to describe. =D
G-DRAGON!. jiyong!. =D
this VCR will be included in Big Show 2010. can't wait for my copy to arrive!. with poster! WOOTS. =DDDD
ahahhaa. ookk. it's 5.23a.m. now. i am going to wash the dishes. and off to bed. =D hope you like the videos. =D
jayne. =D
Saturday, August 14, 2010{ 11:03 PM }
change of mind to blog today, right now, because i've decided to not on my laptop because i seriously need to concentrate on studying already. my progress of studies is not good at all... and seriously, i am not being hard on myself. it just isn't right... sigh~. studying is the most boring thing that can happen to a student. i love learning and going to school, but studying for a test... is inevitable and detestable. urgh.
first and foremost, let me share a video taken last Friday. me and Amanda were suppose to be studying for Korean, but we end up doing something else, as always. then i just asked her to act emo and i sang 홍두|| originally by SEEYA (Li Bo Ram), a song from one of my favourite K-Drama, East of Eden. i apologise for the impromptu incorrect lyrics! (which i think takes it to a different meaning... =X)
hope you guys liked it!. =P
basically, i can't remember much from this week other than some of the significant events that took place. it's first week of this 3-weeks break and i spent most of the time slacking and resting and not doing anything of high importance. =P
Sunday
FA Community Shield and Manchester United won it!. how nice to be able to see my favourite team win yet another silverware and i think it certainly proved to people how capable our current squad is, to a certain extent. since some people do not see the Community Shield as prestigious. but whatever it is, i see a bright future ahead of this current squad that we have. young, full of energy and passion, always striving for the best that we can achieve. =D
anyone spotted how Fergie has put on weight? OMG. me and John were speechless. but he's still the greatest manager of all, in my opinion. =D
spent an awfully long time to sort out the slides to print out for examination revision. trust me, it's really not that easy. the manual work that i have to do is horrendous. =X
Monday
no memory of how Monday passed. well. must be another day that i slept till afternoon, used the laptop and.... oh ok. i remember spending the whole afternoon printing the slides. because i wanted to print it double-sided, i have to manually turn the pages each after odd-pages are printed.. so it wasn't that easy and fast. never undermine these work. urgh.
i get this feeling that i did something more. and after much digging from my Tweets, YES. i watched Big Bang Beginning on tvN! Gena, thank you so much for texting me about the airing of this show! OMG. i totally enjoyed the 2 episodes. i saw the formation of Big Bang.. and i love them more than ever. this documentary made me... understand more about them. they are really more than just an idol group. i can go on and on about how i feel about them, but you really have to listen to their music and hear the sincerity in their music. they are simply awesome. G-Dragon, i admire his leadership, dance, song-writing and being the main driving force behind the success of Big Bang. he has my respect. =D the talent that they have in them can go on for very long... people are already calling them legends but the oldest member is just only 23! i am proud to be a fan. they made it all possible. =D
and i spent the remaining time watching Iris, i guess. yes. keep telling me i am slow and be amazed at how busy i am to be such a slow k-drama fan. ...
for your information, i've switched to my holiday clock. which means afternoon is my morning, night is my afternoon, midnight is my night. everything is just pushed later. so i am the most active at night. =)
did another cover at night while waiting for my assignments to be submittied. and this is the first time that i really film myself... took me long enough to decide on what i really wanted to show people what i am capable of. and i think the response so far has been fairly good. yup, so here it is:
BoA's comeback album is out! can't wait to hear it. MUAHAHAHA. =D
Tuesday
nothing much on this day. only got these pictures to share from my home-alone dinner. =P
they look damn mouth-watering to me when i take pictures of them so up close. but i am really sick of them already. i am not having these for at least 1 month. =P if you do not know, i've had them for at least for a month already. you will get sick of them, no matter how nice it is. =P
Wednesday
woke up feeling very horrible... i was feeling warm while i slept and so i did not have the quilt on. huge mistake. eeek. but i my mood was instantly lightened by a chocolate pancake from Mr. Bean. it taste so great when it's warm! and it has been so long since i had it. eehee. =P
went to Junction 8 with Dad. we had Manhattan Fish Market for lunch.. the lunch was good, as usual. the fish (grilled salmon, especially) there is good. =) then we went to collect my pouch for my camera. finally. after 1 month... =P here it is:
i like the smooth texture of the pouch and the matching design with my camera. yes, i know a lot of you say it's too girlish for me. but i'm never the one to be restricted by your views ok? i love my camera so much more now. =D
then Dad sent me to East Coast Park for T04 outing. it was raining really heavily on the way. heard parts of Singapore were flooded again. took some pictures of the huge rain:
and Dad said i was lame when i told him what i was capturing. ... fine.
i reached before the group came and so the impatient me went to rent a bike of my own to cycle around first. gosh, how i love the feeling of wind against my face. the most relaxed i've felt in such a long while. =D
rode the double bike with dongsaeng (LiTing) and it wasn't really riding together. she didn't know how to ride a bike, which i totally find unbelievable. and so, it was much more difficult for me. give me some credit. =P
yes, Singapore does have places like this. you have have to look deeper than the surface.
didn't really take many pictures because it was not advisable to have my camera out due to the rain. but my phone went busted after getting soaked in seawater while i was having a great time on the beach. man.... ok more details on that later.
well, all we did was fly kite, have fun at the beach and cycle round. i really had a great time myself. it has been too long since i've been outdoors. and ok fine, i admit that i am a noob at kite-flying. 0..0 oh anyway, a clip taken during the kite-flying. =P
Winston was really determined to have his time with the kite. =D
and amidst the rain and stormy weather, i had the right emo feeling to sing.. and so LiTing agreed to be my guest in this cover... =P
and so me and LiTing went on our own for dinner because we really wanted to try the Korean BBQ despite the price that seemed ridiculous for students like us. $42 per person. ok, don't call me crazy yet! for the service and the quality/quantity of all the food, it was definitely worth it! i will definitely go back there again! the chicken... OMG. i just cannot forget how it tasted like..! the both of us cannot stop gushing how awesome our dinner was, really. it was a great reward for ourselves for all our hard work. =D
cannot stop smiling at how delicious everything is!
take a look at how nice everything is placed, like what you see in dramas. we were welcomed into the restaurant by Korean greetings! =D
my beef rib soup. no words can describe how rich the soup tasted. =D
look how nicely it is barbecued!. =D
left the bottom of the soup untouched because honestly, it tasted awful when it's not hot. =P
the heart-shaped watermelon that melted my heart. =P
the dinner was awesome!. =D remember, it's Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ at East Coast Park ok! just beside Long Beach and Burger King. =D
the way back home was barely bearable because my phone was not working and i did not have my ipod with me. i can never sit still with no music in my ears while on the bus or train or even while walking. i just need them to live! i can't even sleep properly without them... and my phone's screen kept misting whenever i turn it on. quickly took out the battery to prevent it from exploding in my bag. and i really dread the trip to Nokia Care. urgh.
reach home at almost mid-night and watched more Iris. gosh... i cried my heart out at that particular episode, really. it's too damn sad. i did not even cry that hard while watching "East of Eden" or "Cain and Abel". soooo sad. =( i cried until my eyes hurt. =(
Wednesday was the most happening day of my week. =D
Thursday
i pulled myself out of bed early to get my phone repaired. i only slept for less than 5 hours after stretching myself that much. was feeling damn sick because i spent the whole of Wednesday until rain and air-con. glad i took a Panadol Cold Relief before going to sleep. trust me, that pill does really work wonders. for me, at least.
it was raining throughout the entire outing and i really wonder why i turned a few shades darker. ... but it's ok, i love myself tanned. =D
and i cannot stop wondering how G-Dragon will sound like if he sings ballads. people may say that it's not his style.. but doing some dialogues in some songs (Forever With You, Haru Haru, Stay, etc) , i really feel that he will succeed if he sings ballads. the way he put his emotions into raps can be put into ballads too! he expresses himself best with his music. =D
went back to Woodlands home to get my spare phone, which was N81 8GB and it is still as healthy as a horse. it's the most lasting phone i've ever used to date, really. still working like i just bought it. =D
went to Causeway Point to get the phone done and when it was done, i walked around CD shops despite being super exhausted. and i really have the urge to buy GD's live CD. aw man. he sounds super awesome live. =D
went home and slept for 3 hours. the Nokia officer called me during my sleep and told me that my phone was beyond repair. i did not get it initially and still asked how much it would cost to repair it. she repeated that it was beyond repair and then i got the meaning... it was BAD. and of course, my heart sank. the phone was only with my for 6months! it's such a new phone and i chose it over a iPhone which was free! i am still mourning the loss of my phone. =( the best part is breaking the news to Dad. ....
home-alone dinner again and this time round, i made something different. partly because the pasta was finished. if not i will be lazy to buy something else...
i had a hard time trying to decide what to buy for "side dishes" and walked around the supermarket for a few rounds before i finally made up my mind...
decided on frozen siew mai and har gao. i only had to microwave them and i used leftover chilli sauce from KFC! it taste fantastic. =D
it looks nice and it's actually quite awful. the smart ass me thought that it will be correct to sink them in water before cooking. but it's ramen. they all stuck together i have to eat it like dough. thank goodness it isn't much and i cooked another small serving. my estimation is so poor that it isn't even enough for me... but in the end... it isn't that bad. =P
and i ate them while watching Iris. seriously, T.O.P's acting left me speechless. because i really cannot find any sign that it's his first try at acting. he is so natural at the killer role and the way he acts... really gives me goosebumps. i don't think i can ever forget that neck scene. EEWW. but he is... really good. and gorgeous. =P honestly, i paid the least attention to T.O.P amongst the 5 of them... but now... oh man, he proved to me that he is not somebody to neglect. =P i really want to watch his first movie, Into the Fire. it seemed that he has put in a lot of effort for this role and i will want to see it when the DVD or movie is hitting Singapore!. =D
Friday
Dad was pretty calm when i told him about the phone. he quickly told me to get a new one because he need to get rid of all the phone rebates he has. 0..0 and so we went to Causeway Point to buy a new phone for me. it was the first time in my life that i was not looking forward to buying a new phone because i was still feeling bad over my negligence.
lunch was at Ichiban and i had salmon again. =D
the customer service officer at Nokia said, "the seawater not only corroded the motherboard, it totally cleaned it!"... and he showed me pictures of my phone with the motherboard. parts that are suppose to be gold ended up to become silver. and he said it was the "worst case of corrosion i have seen in my life"... i can only smile back at him like it's funny.
and i was totally unprepared to buy and use a new phone. like, normally you will go online and find out and research on whichever is the most reasonable price and whichever model you want. but i have to decide there and then.
i wandered between Blackberry, HTC and LG (because they have Big Bang's picture on it. 0..0 )... and i finally chose Samsung Wave because the customer service officer recommended it to be the most reasonably-priced for a non-contract phone. the Blackberry Storm 2 that i wanted initially cost $1000++ with no contract. 0..0 after much struggle, i finally got a Sumsung Wave. let me pay a tribute to my old phone... =(
Dear N86 8MP,
I am so sorry for ruining you just after 6 months. The most unfortunate thing is that you are beyond repair. No matter how much i am willing to pay for your repair, i won't get you back. You have served me well for the past 6 months. You are especially handy when my camera runs out of battery. Even though you are irritating as you will automatically activate my music player after a conversation, i still love you. Even though you keep failing and scamming me with your battery life, i still love you. Even though you keep lagging like crazy when i put Big Bang's pictures on slideshow as wallpaper, i still love you. I really do love you from the bottom of my heart. i am so sorry. =(
Jayne.
sigh. i am really depressed ok. for a while. that i have to abandon my Nokia-using days. i've used Nokia for the past 6 years since i was a primary 3 kid. and i really like Nokia's user-friendliness. it's my first time using a non-Nokia and touchscreen phone. and the idea of it sent trembles down my spine. =(
this is how Samsung Wave looks like:
Dad kept saying that it's nice and he seemed to like it more than i do. 0..0
brought it home and unpacked it. and i really did like it. ok, fine, i am fickle-minded. 0..0 anyway, the design is sleek and the texture is really nice. the touchscreen is sensitive enough for my clumsy and fat fingers. the instructions in the manual were clear enough for my common sense and the function that amuses me the most is the Fake Call. i think i will use it often. =P
started to look for apps online to install and i decided on mainly instruments and languages apps. Korean is a must, along with Japanese and Spanish. i now keep going to the Piano app whenever i have nothing better to do. =P i spent the whole of the day doing up my phone. and... it was cool. just that. i really hate spending so much time transferring the songs and setting the ringtones and all. it's irritating. urgh.
and the worst part of adapting to this phone is the touchscreen typing of SMS. i can no longer look elsewhere while typing without typing nonsense. aw man. =(
ok so at the end of the day, my phone looks like this:
this is the best that i can take with the lighting in my room. 0..0 i feel elated whenever i see the wallpaper. SO CUTE right?!. =DD i promise to cherish you more than ever, my new Samsung Wave. =D
and so... i really kind of like this new phone of mine. this totally unexpected new phone... i can use it in school as it really has a lot of apps that needs wi-fi... and maybe this phone will not cause be to such an technology idiot after all. =P
Saturday
woke up early to go to HELP FSC for volunteer duties. i really had great difficulty to get out of bed but... BIG BANG motivated me. my alarm tone's Stay. =) but i was late in the end. because of all the unexpected and last minute stuffs. but it's really good enough that i am only late for 5 minutes. =P
it was only a week ago, at most, that i praised my Adidas Superstar for being so durable and lasted me for 4 years and brought me to so many places. and it was today that i looked close enough to see a huge crack and it's really life-threatening. the crack is so huge, it can split the shoe's mouth straight into symmetrical 2. 0..0
anyway, it was fun at HELP today. think i am not suppose to use real names of the kids there so i shall not elaborate on them. but i really learnt a lot through this experience. helping out personally and getting myself involved in the activities allowed me to face up to the challenges firsthand. all in all, the experience was very enriching and i am very glad that some of the kids were willing to talk to me because i myself know that i do not have a friendly appearance. =P but the best thing about kids is that they say what they really feel. and so i am able to work together with their honesty. they're all really great. =D
all right. for those who still do not know what HELP FSC means, it means Help Every Lone Parent Family Service Centre. it's a help centre that caters specifically to single-parent families. the programme that i took part in today was to interact with the kids from single-parent families. kids like myself. i can't be classified as being from a single-parent family, strictly. but anyway, i felt especially... connected. =D
went to Junction 8 with Amanda and we had Dokboki. ok forget it. i give up spelling it the correct way. i also had that fried fish and jumbo chicken sausage because i did not have lunch with the kids. (they had my taboo for lunch, MacDonalds...) and it was really nice! the dok... OMG!. no matter how spicy it can get, i will not get sick of it, even if it means i have to camp in the toilet after eating that. i LOVE it!. =D i really want to visit Korea and go to Dongdaemun soon. really.... =P my motivation to study Korean harder is getting stronger by the day. =D and Amanda, thank you so much!. =D
went to NTUC's Korean section and i bought some snacks.
it's pronounced as ddo dddeu. it's like small cakes with cheese and chocolate inside. it's nice and perfect for sudden cravings for snacks!. =D
it's also Mother's Finger in Korean and despite it's weird name, it's HEAVENLY! omg, even John says that it's nice! it's like sponge cake with cream inside and the freshness of the ingredients makes you wanna fly up to the sky. REALLY. =D
this mint candy, however, is not so much to my liking. it's special in its own way. i will still finish the entire packet to get rid of food smell in my mouth. but i will not buy it again. =P
i am glad to have bought these Korean snacks. it's expensive ok. total $10. but i like them very much!. =D
Amanda told me that Big Bang's on Teenage and i bought a copy of it!
don't be deceived by the cover. the content inside is... what fans all already know. it's only 3 pages of Big Bang with old photos. no poster also. but it's ok. i have the cover. =DD
and today marks the first day of English Premier League 2010/2011 Season. opening match is Spurs vs Man City. exciting match throughout but boring scoreline. i am looking forward to Arsenal vs Liverpool tomorrow. my football-ing days are back!. =D i missed yelling GOAL!!!! for Manchester United! they will be back on Monday. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED! =DD
everyone is going gaga over Youth Olympic Games. i have totally no interest in taking part in this historic event. i have no idea why. =P
ok now, time for YouTube sharing. =D
thank you so much to Amanda for introducing IU and this song, MIA to me! i am now in love with this song. and IU is such a talented singer. she's only 17, same age! she should really sing more of such ballads, rather than acting cute.
a song that has always been a favourite. i always dream of doing a cover of this song. but right now with my current capability, it is near to impossible for me to cover 3 vocals... but, i will try my best. it's getting better as i progress. =D
you are missing out big time if you do not watch this. he is TALENTED and he is a GENIUS. i worship him. i have ran out of words to describe his talents. =P
ok i have come to the end of my weekly blogging. hope i haven't bore you all. i depend heavily on my Facebook updates, photo uploads and most importantly, Tweets to make my blogging more meaningful. if you guys see repetition, it's kind of inevitable. =P
i have my Big Bang compilation CD playing for the 3rd time already. my CD player and the CD won't go berserk right? =P
I LOVE BIG BANG! I LOVE MANCHESTER UNITED! I LOVE SAMSUNG WAVE! (until it starts to give me problems...) I LOVE ALL THOSE WHO MADE ME SMILE/LAUGH/CRY! ALL! =D
ok. i shall concentrate on studying tomorrow. i am tired. to the max. my eyes can hardly open. now, i am no longer shocked by the time whenever i look at the clock.
from top to bottom:
the library record that i have. =D it is soooooo cool! i have Big Bang on my loan records!. =D
the loan receipt from borrowing Big Show 2009. =D
the loan receipt for borrowing the photobook. =D
my beef rib soup. no words can describe how rich the soup tasted. =D
look how nicely it is barbecued!. =D
left the bottom of the soup untouched because honestly, it tasted awful when it's not hot. =P
the heart-shaped watermelon that melted my heart. =P
decided on frozen siew mai and har gao. i only had to microwave them and i used leftover chilli sauce from KFC! it taste fantastic. =D
