-UNLOCKED-

Haha! Decided to unlock now. I shan't be afraid any longer. Anyway, I've realized that ever since I locked my blog, it had been dead and nothing was being posted so here I am again.

My Singapore Idol journey has been awesome. Did trailer shoots, 8 days covershoots (out next Monday btw ;)) etc and I'm still having fun. I'd like to thank all my supporters and fans for voting me through to the TOP 13. Without you awesome people, I would not have come so far in the competition. I'd thank each and everyone of you all personally if I could. Do continue supporting me and voting because every vote counts!

Idol TOP 13 Roadshow is on tomorrow, 3pm at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Do come by to show your support to your favourite Idols.

Will post soon.

Goodbye.

TOP 24

2009-08-26T22:20:00.000+08:00

OKAY! SO THE BEST NEWS ON THIS BLOG SO FAR IS THAT I'VE MADE IT TO THE TOP 24 OF SINGAPORE IDOL 3!

And you'd never believe that just one hour after the news was announced on national TV, I've got spammers tagging crap on my tagboard so I've decided to lock this blog and make it only available to my closest friends (if you're reading this, that means you're one of my closer friends). I flick open Nuffnang and find that everyone 'Key-worded' "Duane Ho/Duane Russell Ho/Singapore Idol" and came to my blog so the internet, as I've known it is not safe anymore.

And the celebrities are sure damn right that you should never, ever google your name.

Thanks guys for all your support!

Goodbye.

Exams

2009-08-17T20:47:00.000+08:00

The prelims are just two days away. 'O' Level English Oral tomorrow. Exams are so near. Arghh. I MUST STUDY!

Facebook is being so irritating. It keeps lagging. Don't know if it's a global situation or just my laptop that's being cranky.

Goodbye.

B'day

2009-08-10T22:51:00.002+08:00

I left Sentosa in the morning and went to Bra's house. Got there at about 12 plus and I had an awesome time there. We watched Dead Silence, a show about dummys and ventriloquists. We played Sardines and Pitureka too. Had fun playing all those fun games.

Goodbye.

2009-08-09T17:20:00.003+08:00

I went to Sheraton Towers to eat lunch at this awesome dim sum place. Very yummy. Went to Vivo after that to get stuff for dinner and now I'm back at Sentosa. The best thing about this place is tonight, I'll be able to take pictures of the fireworks cause the Flyer can be seen from here which means fireworks! That also means that I'll be able to see all the fighter jets and boats and stuff that will be making their way to the parade. Oh, and...

HAPPY 44th NATIONAL DAY!

Singapore Idol premieres tonight. In 3 hours time! Can't wait.!

8:30, make sure you watch Channel 5.

Goodbye.

Harper's

2009-08-08T22:01:00.003+08:00

Today was good. Pretty muched lazed around. I studied Chemistry!! Finally picked up a book to study. I went to Palawan beach and ate at some Northern Indian restaurant for dinner. Oh, and I was driving around Sentosa island in my Aunt's car and we drove past Resorts World. Universal Studios is HUGE. OMG! The duelling coasters are so huge and the drops are crazy. I'm now near the balcony and the sound of waves crashing against the shore is so relaxing.

I also remembered that I had not watched the season finale of Harper's Island so I found it on Youtube and watched it today. It was very nice. Very unexpected twist at the end. It turned out like a psycho romance story. Best show I've ever watched hands down.

Singapore Idol premieres tomorrow at 8:30pm after the National Day Parade so don't forget to watch it on Channel 5!

Goodbye.

Study Holiday

2009-08-06T23:04:00.000+08:00

Today was okay. Stayed back for Art and did what I could. Anyway, I'va got an extension so can still chill for now.

Daniel Chow surprised me by giving me Reliant K's Mmhmm album. No special day but he just suddenly got Andre to pass it to me during recess. I went over to him and thanked him for his present. To Daniel if you're reading this: Thanks alot again! Really appreciate it! :)

I'm going to my Aunty's house at Sentosa to stay over for the long weekend. It should be fun. I'll go explore all the beaches I have not been to. Apparently she owns an apartment that overlooks the ocean so that should be interesting too. I'll bring my laptop so I can access the internet over there. I shall also bring my book and make it like a 'Study-Holiday-Overseas kind of thing" Prelims are coming real soon and it worries me that I have not started studying yet. Note to self: Do all my TYS's asap!

Goodbye.

Fierce Dreams

2009-08-05T17:39:00.003+08:00

Posted on Facebook:

Dreams really do come true. Pradeep told me in the morning during English lesson and I started crying. Couldn't pay attention for the rest of the lesson and at recess, I ran down to the General Office to take a look at the papers. There it was: Beyonce headlining F1 Rocks in September.

Every 11:11 wish was for her to come and I am so glad my wishes have come true. I talk about her every minute of every day.

SASHA FIERCE, MEET RUSSELL FIERCE!

Goodbye.

Sleepy

2009-08-04T22:26:00.002+08:00

I'm so sleepy. Time for me to sleep. Math re-exam today was nonsense. I still can't do anything. I'm gonna fail again for sure.

Goodbye.

Mercy

2009-08-03T21:35:00.003+08:00

I need to break through the barriers and stereotypes surrounding who I am. It's not going to be easy but I'm still gonna try. I've already begun so all that's left is to finish well. And I am telling you, I'm not going. Duane's NOT going.

Mad About English

2009-08-02T20:32:00.001+08:00

It's the end of the weekends already. Sigh. Another week. I really need to start studying cause it's already August. 3 months more to 'O' Levels. I have a sorethroat coming prolly cause I sang too much yesterday.

OKTO is showing Mad About English later at 10 and I'm so glad because I've wanted to watch that show fot the longest time. It's about China people trying to learn English and it's hilarious because of their accents. It's a must-watch.

Art is killing me slowly.

Goodbye.

Arty Farty

2009-07-31T21:22:00.003+08:00

I am so tired. I skipped school today because I overslept. I went in the afternoon for Art and after squeezing all my peices into my prep boards, I realized that I only had five boards completed. I was horrified cause I worked so hard for the past few nights. Well at least now I have five boards that I really like. Three more to go.

I've got a full day at church tomorrow. Gonna rest early tonight.

Go to HERE and bcome a fan of me now! This is in preparation for the bigger things that are up ahead, if you know what I mean!

Goodbye.

Seriously

2009-07-30T19:41:00.000+08:00

Day 2 with my contact lenses and I'm loving it. The interview went well. They liked my photography. It was over quite quickly too. I really felt so awesome stepping into a poly just now. I hope that's where I'll be next year. It's like there's so much freedom and happiness over there. I will NOT be able to complete Art tomorrow, seriously. I tried my best - stayed up late last night to draw two thing and I'm going to draw stuff tonight also. I also need to do the write-up of myself to be put in the school magazine. I didn't even know that our school had a magazine.

Goodbye.

Had Me At Hello

2009-07-29T20:08:00.000+08:00

I haven't posted in a very long while. I've been busy with school, Art and outside commitments. School has been so-so. Currently rushing Art and I've got an interview for DPA tomorrow at Ngee Ann. Can't wait and hope I make it. I'll try to update more often yeah. This blog is getting dead. I feel like changing my URL and blogskin.

Goodbye.

Back

Paradise

2009-07-08T00:34:00.000+08:00

I'm in Sentosa right now and it's like paradise over here. The house faces the sea and the breeze is so nice. Will take some pics and upload them tomorrow. Quite lazy to type now so I shall end here.

Goodbye.

Shopaholic

2009-07-06T23:31:00.002+08:00

I went to Vivo just now with my family and I spent alot of money! So happy now. I bought a jacket from Zara, which made me feel like Chia, a hoodie from Topman and a vest from GAP. So glad that I got stuff that I really like. I ate at Carls Jr and it was really good even though it was expensive. I also bought a DVD recorder since my old one had been spoilt for quite sometime now.

Goodbye.

Sealed

2009-07-02T22:00:00.003+08:00

Okay people. As of now, my lips are permanently sealed. I signed a contract of non-disclosure for SG Idol so I cannot say anything about it from just now, 7-something pm, so you won't be hearing of it on here or anywhere else anytime soon.

I'm gonna delete all my posts on SG Idol now just to be safe.

Oral was a total disaster. I stopped for so many seconds and nothing came out either.

Goodbye.

Sold

2009-07-01T21:40:00.001+08:00

Today was better, thankfully.

The Rolling Stone Magazine with Adam Lambert on the cover is sold out everywhere. Arghh! I tried calling Borders, Kinokuniya and Times Bookstore and it is sold out everywhere. Super sad.

Goodbye.

Mood

2009-06-30T21:32:00.002+08:00

School has been pretty bad for me. If you see me being moody in school people, i'm not angry with anyone. I'm angry at the environment. I just need to keep telling myself that it'd be all worth it and this makes me wanna work even harder. Two day in a row and this has happened and I wonder how much longer it will last.

Goodbye.

Youth Sunday

2009-06-28T21:30:00.001+08:00

Youth Sunday was awesome!

Avioms FTW!

School tomorrow and I'm dreading it. There's over 400 cases of H1N1 in Singapore and the alert has not changed and the government is doing anything. Stupid.

Goodbye.

Rocks

2009-06-26T01:59:00.000+08:00

Nuffnang rocks!
Chasing Pavements rocks!

I'm gonna have a busy weekend in church this week. School starts on Monday... :(

Goodbye.

Workout

2009-06-24T22:19:00.002+08:00

I had a good workout in school today. After Art ended at 5. Steph, Yuki, Emelia, Letritia, Yoke Kay, Hakim and I proceeded to the hall. We played catching, ice and water and Truth or Dare. I ran like mad and now my muscles are aching. Super fun! There was a point when Hakim disappeared behind the stage and the rest of us were super freaked out. Some of us thought he fainted and others thought he was captured by the 'ghosts' backstage. He tricked all of us good.

I also had dinner with Yuki and Hakim at Vista Point after we left school and we had a nice, long chit-chat about alot of stuff.

Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

Goodbye.

City

2009-06-19T20:57:00.001+08:00

Went to Vivo City with Stephy and Mariel today. Had a really good time but now I'm really tired. Time for me to sleep early now.

Goodbye.

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

2009-06-18T20:27:00.011+08:00

I'm going out tomorrow. Yes! Finally something to do. I am loving Lady Gaga more and more. Due to the excessive free time these past few days, I find myself watching alot of shows on the internet and on TV. I started watching Prison Break on Monday and now I'm hooked on it. In Sec 1, Prison Break was like my favourite show in the world but slowly I stopped watching it and I totally didn't watch Season 4. On Monday I was bored so I watched it and now I'm addicted to it. It's showing 3 times a week on Channel 5 so that's awesome. I also watched, My New BFF, Project Runway, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, The Hills and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.

I have not studied for Maths and I'm gonna be so dead next week. My next audition for Singapore Idol is also happening next week and I have been practicing my song again and again these past few days. I hope I will sing it perfectly with no bad notes. Gosh!

Goodbye.

TTYN

2009-06-17T02:55:00.000+08:00

I watched Paris Hilton: My New BFF today. It was really nice. Bored to my wits end today.

*TTYN*

Goodbye.

JDMA

2009-06-16T02:09:00.000+08:00

I started watching the last 5-6 episodes of the latest 'Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency' since Saturday and I must say that it was really good. ALOT of drama. I think Season 4 is way better, compared to Season 1, the only season that I watched.

I'm trying to stay up for two more hours because at 4am, it'll be 4pm in New York and there will be a live chat with Danny Gokey. For the next two days, there'll be a live chat with Adam Lambert and then Kris Allen. You can submit questions and some questions will be answered so hope I'll be able to stay up.

Goodbye.

Umbrella

2009-06-15T19:52:00.002+08:00

I'm so happy!! I went out today and spent $100 plus on this:

I tried taking a few test shots of myself and the shoot-through umbrella really makes shots awesome. It's time for another photoshoot again!! I also went for vocal class today. My Mom is leaving tomorrow for Malacca and she'll only be back on Friday so people, date me!

Goodbye.

Poker Face

2009-06-14T20:28:00.003+08:00

So I was bored today and I had no one to play with at home so I started cam-whoring. Don't hate me. Anyway, I can't wait to go out this Friday. I really hope I'll study this week. Harper's Island is on tonight. I finally have a one week break this week and I'm going to realy relax and do nothing or stuff that makes me happy.

Why does this post have so many short sentances?

Oh, and yes... Something random.

Goodbye.

Over

2009-06-12T22:15:00.002+08:00

The two week of Art is over! Thank God! I almost died yesterday cause of ome of the teachers. If it was not for Ms Lim, I would have dropped the whole subject last week. We have a nice one week break next week and will have to return in week four to complete everything. Going out with Ashnee, Steph and Mariel next week I think (I hope). I also hope that I will start studying cause I haven't had any time to do so.

Goodbye.

The Dream

2009-06-06T22:14:00.003+08:00

Hey all,

Just a quick update. I arrived at The Cathay at 5am and queued till 4pm. Finally at 4, they said we could only register but cannot audition since the audition quota was reached. The sun was terrible cause we stood in the sun for like 6 hours straight. My face is noticeably darker. I'm gonna leave now so I can get a queue number for tomorrow, hopefully.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

The Fame

2009-06-04T23:39:00.002+08:00

OMG!OMG!OMG!

I'm the luckiest person on the face of this earth.

Cutting the story short, waiting was terrible. I was bloated, hungry, tired and feeling faint. Queued since 4pm and I managed to get to the first row of the free standing area. I held on to the barricades and did not let anyone take my place. When the show started, I screamed like mad and danced furiously. Then suddenly this huge angmoh guy came up to me.

"Do you speak English?"
"Yes"
"You dance really ell, would you like to go on stage to dance with the dolls later?"
"*freaks out* YES!"
"Okay, I'll come get you later."

I was excited but I didn't think much of that so I continued screaming, singing and dancing. About 7 songs later, he came back and told me to meet him round the side of the stage. My heart was beating so fast and I walked quickly towards the place he pointed. Two girls were there too and we started freaking out together. I danced at the side of the stage to Whatcha Think About That and Bottle Pop. Then we got ready to go on stage. I went on stage and the feeling was crazy. Like a few thousand people screaming at you. My 'partner' was Melody. LOVE HER! I shook her hand and she got my name down and stuff. Then they taught us some moves. I was last so as the other two girls danced. She whispered to me "You're the last one so do something special" I kept giving her thumbs-ups. I did my thing and it was crazy. After we got off stage, I was super high. I couldn't get back to the first row where I was so I stayed at the back of the standing pen where there was a huge space I dance like mad and jumped about when they did their encore of Don't Cha, Jai Ho and When I Grow Up.

I'll upload the video once someone uploads it on Youtube. Best day of my life EVER!

Pictures soon too!

Goodbye.

Wear

2009-06-03T23:31:00.001+08:00

I haven't decided on what to wear to the concert but I'll definitely wear my printed tee. I'll scramble tomorrow morning. There's the Lit workshop tomorrow. And I'm gonna rush straight from there.

Goodbye.

Spasm

2009-06-01T19:08:00.003+08:00

Today was my first taste of an 'O' Level paper! So I arrived at school and everyone was super serious and proper. The twins (Sam+Jac clipped up their fringe which was totally nice, Harith cut his hair, Marcus cut his hair etc.) Everyone was reading notes and stuff and I was happily flipping through 8 Days. We finally went into the classroom and everyone was so serious so I kept quiet and waited. Suddeny, out of nowhere, Valerie walked by and I almost had a heart attack. She entered the classroom like a lost sheep and I started spasming. It was so bad that I had to bite my tongue, less I start laughing out loud. I seriously laughed so hard and started tearing up. It was so hysterical. Basically, her hair was in a mess like a mushroom or a ball on top of her head or something like that. That was seriously the highlight of my day. You have to see it to believe it. SERIOUSLY.

VALERIE'S HAIR ON 1/6/2009 = CRAZYLAUGHINGSUPERHYSTERICALSTUIDSILLY DUANE HO

Paper 2 was awesome. So easy!! I was so happy cause for once, I could understand the compre passages. I think I can pass it this time. I paper 1 badly though.

Anyway, I went to Causeway with Debra, Elaine and Ashnee after the paper. Had fun laughing about the website fmylife.com all thanks to Elaine alhough now when I read the website, I don't find it funny at all.

I love you Valerie!! Muackxhzsxz!!

Goodbye.

You Choose

2009-05-30T22:06:00.003+08:00

My awesome friends and blog readers, please help me choose which design is nicer to print. Also if you have any suggestions in terms of font type, size, let me know yeah. Simply tag 1 or 2 on my tagboard cause I really don't know which one to choose.

Thanks in advance.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Recurring

2009-05-24T21:00:00.004+08:00

I dreamt that I was at Beyonce's concert again last night.. It's super nice when you dream of something so pleasant and when you wake up, you feel so comforted and happy.

I slept at like 5am last night. I love staying up super late on Saturday nights. I woke up at 3pm and half the day was gone. I watched the repeat of the American Idol finale on TV at 4. Screamed alot again. Especially during Boom Boom Pow.

This week can be considered as hell because of mother tongue intensive. I plan to just use the three hours everyday to study other stuff like Geography, read magazines, talk, sleep, listen to my iPod, draw and be random. No way am I gonna listen and write and Chinese.

There's Harper's Island tonight finally. And the finale of S Factor is tonight and I'm gonna watch it only because there'll be alot of bitchfights because they will confront each other.

Goodbye.

Spoilt

2009-05-21T20:10:00.004+08:00

I took that a few days ago.

Anyway, Chinese was super boring. We have something like three hous of Chinese everyday due to the 'O' Levels and it sucks. It was so boring that I rotated sleeping, talking to Alex Ong and Zyann , reading 8 Days and drawing around the three hours. One hour is enough to kill me and three hours now is like hell. One more week to suffer through. Help me!

YUKIangelitto spoiled American Idol for me. It always so happens that everyone finale of American Idol, someone will spoil it for me. I told Glenys and Elaine not to tell me who won since Glenys' family was watching the live telecast and was gonna tell her who won the minute it was announced. I was happily eating my Nasi Briyanni when YUKI suddenly checked her phone and yelled "WTH! ------ won! That's bull$*!&!" My heart skipped a beat as anger rushed through my body. Like seriously, a shock went through my body and it was because of anger. I just kept quiet and continued eating. But nope, I'm not angry with her cause I didn't tell her in advance. I shall watch tonight still although I'm not very happy with the result.

See, I didn't spoil it for anyone.

There's lots of drama... I like it.

Goodbye.

Welcome

2009-05-19T00:48:00.000+08:00

I slept at 5:10am last night cause there was no school. Survivor finale was awesome except for some decisions that I didn't like. I went into a shop today and I swear, at the cashier place where the cash register was, the LED sign on top of the cash register said 'WELCOME TO BEYONCE'. I was very surprised cause the shop wasn't even called Beyonce. Speaking about Beyonce, I printed my Beyonce shirt yesterday and I wore it out today. So much fun.

I hope we get back the results for the MYEs tomorrow. I'm anxious to find out how well or badly I did.

Goodbye.

Played

2009-05-14T19:44:00.003+08:00

Exams are almost over and I'm very glad about that. I've been busy everyday with studying hence the lack of blogging.

I just went blog hopping and I'm just going to put it out straight -

I'm so sorry that I thought for a second that I was one of you all. I'm sorry for myself for spending 1 year trying to fit in with you guys only to find out that all I thought never existed. You guys played me with your smiles and words but now I know all of you are fake. I feel like an idiot now for believing all of you and after everything you just drop my off as if I don't have feelings. Have fun in your lovely little clique. I've been played, thanks to you guys.

Goodbye.

You Found Me

2009-05-08T18:43:00.011+08:00

I spent 3 hours today from 3pm to 6pm recording myself. I recorded You Found Me by The Fray. So this is specially dedicated to all you people, my friends and all the people who pass by my blog. Tell me what you think okay?

MySpace Playlist at MixPod.com

Math was a killer as expected. I haven't bought my Doll Domination tickets. The tickets went on sale this morning at 9am and when I checked the Sistic website at 1pm, the last three categories had already sold out. I'll probably go get the tickets tomorrow. Worst come to worst, I'll just get mosh pit tickets.

Goodbye.

Beyonce Before/After

2009-05-07T19:07:00.003+08:00

Debra introduced me to this makeup game and it was so fun. As you can see, heres what I created with Beyonce! I love it. Very silly but fun.

Chem was okay. I think I can at least pass the paper. Math tomorrow. Another killer subject.

American Idol tonight. Can't wait to see who goes home

Goodbye.

MYEs

2009-05-06T16:38:00.002+08:00

The MYEs are under way. English was okay. Chinese as nonsense. Social Studies today was good. Although I left out the entire last question blank because of the lack of time (13 marks gone) I think I answered the questions I did well. Literature was okay as well. I think I did better at the unseen part compared to the Island Voices part. The unseen text that was given was really nice and meaningful.

There's Chem tomorrow and I am so dead. I CANNOT do Chem. I have alot of studying to catch up on. Will update when I have the time.

Goodbye.

2009-05-02T00:55:00.000+08:00

I have done something crazy...

I have just registered for Singapore Idol!

Goodbye.

Feeling Good

2009-04-29T23:26:00.002+08:00

Adam Lambert totally rocked with his version of Feeling Good.

English paper was okay. I did not the do paper 1 well but I was very happy with paper 2. I went to Yuki's house after the paper and Chemistry remedial. Her cats are awesome.

Tomorrow's Chinese. As you can see, I'm not bothering to sleep early cause sleep early or don't sleep early, the result will still be the same. FAIL. I slept at 9pm last night.

Goodbye.

David Archuleta will be performing on the results show of American Idol tomorrow. So all you Archies/Archangels/Fans, be sure to catch him.

The predicted tsunami that will hit Singapore seemed like it was going to happen cause just 10 minutes ago, the wind outside my window was super strong. The trees were like on the verge of collapsing. Quite cool and scary at the same time. Wen I opened my window, the wind just blew it shut. Anyway, 20 minutes more till the curse is lifted and we all will not die.

Obviously I know it was all a hoax.

I'm hoping to do a photoshoot with the twins on E-Learning day again. For Art coursework okay.

I started on my sculpture and it's beginning to take shape. Happy.

Goodbye.

I am addicted to You Found Me by The Fray.

Goodbye.

Study

2009-04-16T21:32:00.003+08:00

I studied Chemistry for 1 hour and 15 minutes just now. So proud of myself. Haha. I went fot the Maths consultation thingy with Valerie after school and I'm really glad that it helped quite a bit. 13 more days till MYEs. That's why I've been studying religiously yesterday and today. Thanks Valerie for teaching me Chem today. I understand a lot more now. Hah, I still have a long way to go in improving my Math and Chem from an F9 to at least a B4.

American Idol results show start at 10. I'm sleepy but I feel that today was a productive day. Finally.

Goodbye.

Choices

2009-04-15T21:39:00.002+08:00

I was quite pissed during one lesson today. I think I did my best during the Oral Exam yesterday, the best I've ever done in the history of my 10 years of formal education. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have changed anything about it. And, my future isn't moulded already because of 'fate'. Haven't you heard of the phrase 'fate changes everything, everything changes fate'? I'm gonna do whatever I love. Even if I get 50 for my 'O' Levels grade. It all depends on personal choice. Only someone stupid would go for the last resort of an engineering course even if he/she didn't like it.

And whatever Zeken said, GO ZEKEN!!

American Idol starts soon.

Goodbye.

2009-04-13T22:26:00.002+08:00

I finally bought the file that I wanted. The one that Ivy, Liping and Jesline have. There's EL Oral apparently for Prelims tomorrow. I think that means I'll have to skip my vocal class tomorrow. The slots are quite late. I came home today and zi lian-ed. Haha. It's been a long time since I have done that.

Goodbye.

Harper's Island

2009-04-12T23:37:00.001+08:00

I just watched Harper's Island on Channel 5 and it look like a promising show. Quite scary. Haha. I'm easily scared. There's school tomorrow. Sigh.

Goodbye.

Fanclub

2009-04-10T13:27:00.003+08:00

Okay, I sent the pictures I took to the OFFICIAL DAVID ARCHULETA SINGAPORE FANCLUB with a short message and to my surprise, they put my photos on plus my message. During the days that preeceded the day that changed my life, I had gone to davidarchuleta.sg again and again to read their updates so yeah, I guess this will be one of my favourite sites for a long time.

The last 6 pictures on there is from me. Today's Good Friday. I've got to go to church later. I'm so glad that this is a long weekend. One extra day to rest. I wanna watch the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience (I think that's what it's called). Mid-year Exams are coming. Dreading the thought of it.

I'm now addicted to David Archuleta's music.

Goodbye.

The David Archuleta Experience

2009-04-08T17:00:00.003+08:00

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I better write this down cause the feeling's still there. Prepare yourselves for a long post.

In the end, Hakim couldn't come cause he fell ill so it was only me and the twins. I rushed home after school and got home at 2:30. I showered and changed and met them at Causeway Point at about 3:45. We managed to reach there at about 4:20 so I took away something from McDonald's and then we headed to Iluma. When we got there, there were like a hundred plus people sitting on the ground outside all barricaded together. A new line started so we queued up thinking that that would get us in. After sitting for almost two hours, we finally got near the door cause an area infront of the stage was baricaded so we thought that's how to get there.

When it was our turn, a woman told us that this was for autographing signing and only one CD per person was allowed. I knew that a long time ago but I didn't know that we were queueing for this. Sam went in and Jac and I stayed outside. Jac asked the woman why they didn't state properly what the queue was for. The woman just apologized and I then convinced Jac to find a place inside to stand outside the autograph-zone.

Moments later, the woman came around and tapped Jac's shoulder. She said that there were two girls that had two extra CDs and so she asked us if we wanted to help them get the extra autographs of David Archuleta. We said 'YES!' and I thanked the two girls profusely. Waiting for David was torturous cause I was all squished up sitting cross-legged on the floor. Cramps and numbness everywhere. At about 6:30, we finally stood up to wait and we waited and waited.

There were like eight false alarms where evryone started screaming frantically and started recording the entrance where David was coming from. It was fake of course. Finally David came out and I screamed my lungs out. He opened his showcase with Touch My Hand. He continued on with A Little Too Not Over You and I totally loved it. He moved on to his keyboard and played and sand A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. He closed his short set with Crush and surprisingly, although I had said that I prefered A Little Too Not Over You to Crush, I started jumping up and down when the intro was played. I sang my heart out throughout the entire performance.

He left the stage to get ready for the autograph session. He finally emerged again and throughout the whole time whilst signing the CD inlays, his whole album was played on repeat through the house speakers and funny enough, I saw his lips moving along to the songs. What started out as me and Jac being a good 4 metres from the back of the queue ended up with us being the last in queue. Everyone had cut queue. We then pushed forward to the queuing lane and I started snapping photos of him cause we were nearer to the stage and there were not many hands all raised in the air. I didn't manage to take many pictures cause of the amount of heads blocking me and the big rush. People were literally being pulled on and off the stage cause the maagement wanted to make things speedy.

I walked up the stage and in a split second, I was walking towards him. My heart was pounding. I stopped in front of him and said "Hi David!" He smiled and said 'Hey!' I quickly reached out my hand and shook it and just as I was done, someone started yanking me away. At least I saw him really close up and I shaked his hands. Super happy and satisfied. I touched a mega superstar!!! I didn't really feel really hyper after the whole thing but today, I was quite silent during class. I wasn't talking loudly and laughing as I normally do cause I was just trying to recall the whole performance, looking at him eye-to-eye and shaking his hand, again and again. I was like floating on air the whole day today.

I'm like some obsessed idiot but I can't help it. He seemed like a really genuine and down-to-earth person. The way he smiled told you that he wasn't smiling for the sake of smiling but was smiling cause he was genuinely happy. The deafening screams and everything made yesterday one of the happiest days of my life so far. Until Beyonce comes. He is now my favourite male singer! Then comes Jason Mraz. Haha.

Goodbye.

LIVE!

2009-04-07T23:37:00.002+08:00

DAVID ARCHULETA TOTALLY ROCKED!!! WILL POST MORE ABOUT TODAY TOMORROW. FOR NOW:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I SHOOK HANDS WITH HIM!

Goodbye.

1 More Day

2009-04-06T22:59:00.006+08:00

I just finished picking out what to wear for David Archuleta's performance/Meet and Greet tomorrow! I am freaking excited. Hope I don't over-dress or dress badly cause the people I'm going with (Jac, Sam and Hakim) always look fabulous in every picture. I pretty bad at dressing up honestly. Anyway, I'm blasting David Archuleta's music in my room now. I'm trying to learn the more popular songs now so when he sings them tomorrow, I can go into a crazy frenzy. The above picture was what The four of us drew in class today. Scribbles of the word David, Archuleta, Love and other random phrases. I started listening to my iPod in class and Sam, Jac and I started singing David Archuleta's A Little Too Not Over You. I feel like an obsessed fan but who cares. It's a superstar in Singapore. How can I not be out of my mind.

I've still yet to pack all my camera stuff! My goal is to get at least 30 decent pictures of David. My camera and flash shall NOT fail me. Can't wait!! Okay, will update with photos and all the happenings tomorrow night or Wednesday. We're gonna zoom home straight after school, get changed and cab to Bugis asap. I'm off to pack

Goodbye.

Penguin

2009-04-04T00:56:00.002+08:00

Today was fun. There was Bio practical in the morning and we were equired to burn biscuits! So fun. Art was fun too. I made a penguin for Ivy using Ashnee's clay.

Cantonese rocks!

4 more days!

Goodbye.

5 Days

2009-04-02T20:55:00.001+08:00

5 more days to David Archuleta! Freaking out with joy and anticipation!!!

Goodbye.

DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!

2009-03-30T19:31:00.000+08:00

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HYPERVENTILATING!! PEOPLE, I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY! DAVID ARCHULETA IS COMING TO SINGAPORE ON THE 7TH OF APRIL 7PM AT ILUMA (A NEW JOINT NEAR BUGIS JUNCTION). HE'S GONNA PERFORM A FEW SONGS AND HAVE MEET AND GREET SESSIONS FOR CONTEST WINNERS AND AUTOGRAPH SIGNING. IT'S IN A SHOPPING CENTRE SO IT'S F.O.C!!!!!!

I went around spreading it to everyone I saw in school today. I am so going. I just love his voice. His range is CRAZY. I can't wait. I see him on album covers, magazines, TV, American Idol, Youtube and now he's coming to Singapore and I'll be able to see him face to face. OOOOMMMMGGGG!!!!!!!! And it's free (typical Singaporean)! David Archuleta, you rock my world!!!

Goodbye.

LOL

2009-03-27T23:21:00.002+08:00

Today was one of the funiest days of my life. I haven't laughed so hard in months. Firstly, on my way back from Vista Point with Letricia, Evan and Ashnee, we saw two sparrows having sex. Bird porn. Our reactions were priceless. I came back to the art room and had an even greater time. I drew one drawing and then we started playing catching and dancing and singing and basically alot of crap. Laughed so hard when Bra mentioned the Mariel thing. Damn funny day today lah. Okay, I'm rushing off to watch Survivor now.

Goodbye.

$1.50

2009-03-26T21:41:00.002+08:00

I can't believe what I'm about to say but I'm beginning to like Lady GaGa. I went to check out some of her live performances of Just Dance and Poker Face and she's such a good dancer. The best thing is that she doesn't lipsync like some other artists a la Britney Spears. She's fly.

I stayed back for extra Art today. Tay helped me correct my 'cross-legged pregnant woman'. Have to rush for Art cause I feel like if I continue slacking, I won't be able to meet the 12 June deadline.

Ashnee and I started a big hoo-ha in the canteen when the drinks stall auntie refused to sell us instant noodles if we didn't buy something else (drinks not counted, must be her fan choi). We walked back to our table and started yelling really loudly. I was like "I HAVE NO MONEY ANYMORE LOR. WOULD YOU RATHER EARN MY $1.50 R NOT EARN ANYTHING AT ALL!!?" In the end, a basketball boy came along to the stall and bought 2 lohmaikais and so we dashed to the stall and bought our Tom Yum instant noodles.

Goodbye.

Remember

2009-03-23T23:28:00.002+08:00

Today was the first day of Term 2. I was quite sleepy. I have nothing much to talk about. I was looking though some of my old files and found this. Those were the days. Everyone's on their tippy toes and check out Hakim and Taufiq. Kinky. Haha.

Goodbye.

La Coacha

2009-03-22T00:32:00.002+08:00

I slept the whole day today. I've watched the video below like 5 times and it still cracks me up.

Go watch it. Beyonce is deffinitely no wannabe Shakira. Shakira is just ughh.

Goodbye.

Macro Mania

2009-03-20T19:20:00.002+08:00

Woohoo! I'm enjoying my new toy. I went to Peninsula yesterday evening to get a AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED (in other words, a macro lens). That's something I've always wanted. Even before I got interested in photography a year ago, I had always loved taking macro shots with my Sony Ericsson Cybershot phone. After I got my D90, I then waited to save enough to get one. So, I finally got it yesterday and I'm loving it. It's a little difficult to use because the slightest distance between objects would cause a big difference in sharpness (DOF) and I paid half the price of another model that came with Vibration Reduction so the slightest camera shake would cause everything to go blur. I guess I'll have to use my tripod whenever I use my macro lens. I spent last night and today taking test shots. I'm still getting use to it so I'll prolly do more experimentation in the days to come.

The generic 'Tip-of-the-Fork' shot.

NIKON!

I love the sharpness.

Dominos.

I haven't done any homework.

Goodbye.

New

2009-03-19T16:19:00.002+08:00

I'm gonna get a new lens for my camera later! So excited. Haha. I haven't blogged in a long time beacuse of school and pure laziness I guess. I have lots of homework to do. Stupid Chinese. I have many things to draw for Art too but I'm just too lazy.

Goodbye.

Loser

2009-03-16T19:22:00.004+08:00

I just got home. Stayed until 7pm with Ashnee, Evan and some Sec 5s in the Artroom. I did something today for a change. I tried to copy one of Ben Liang's waterfall drawings. I think it came out pretty okay. Chinese remedial in the morning was a bore. I have so much Chinese homework to do and I really don't feel like doing any. Chemistry was boring. I only understood a little. I didn't understand a single thing about Hereditry in Bio class. Prolly cause I was super pissed off with some loser. I shall not dwell on it but this is for you:

Special message for someone!! (I really love special messages <33):

Please, girl, get your facts right before you come and attack me. Even the girl sitting beside you can testify against your wonderful story. It really makes me wonder what your motive was for cooking up such a interesting story. Bottom line is, I know what I did and did not say. If you really want to believe that I was such a dumbass to not know how to protect my friend, it's your loss. Dirt off my shoulder. And you still want to say that I'm way too defensive because of my ego. If you really think that I have an ego, then you have'nt seen the half of it. Think I'm a coward by not saying all these things in front of your face? Just let me know and I can accomodate by telling you off face-to-face.

XOXO
...

Okay, anyway. Many people can testify against that loser so it's okay. I'm so pissed off not because I'm guilty more so because he/she/it still wanted to insult me at a personal level. You wanna play personal? I do personal too.

I want an iPod touch!

Goodbye.

Pocket

2009-03-14T21:49:00.002+08:00

Alot of things happened today. I woke up at 8:45. Took a shower and then headed to Hong Kah Secondary School for my theory exam. I had a hard time finding the school and I got there 15 minutes late. I rushed in and lucky me forgot to put my phone on silent. A few minutes into the exam and Evan called. My phone blasted and everyone looked at me. I was so scared It would be considered cheating but the invigilators just looked at me and hand signalled me to off my phone. I switched it to silent and as I was doing the paper, Evan kept calling and the phone kept tickling my thigh cause it was in my pocket. The exam was kinda easy. Alot was from Grade 1 so I managed to do it quite smoothly sans maybe one question that asked about rests.

I rushed to school after the exam. Parent-teacher meeting. The usual happened. Nagging and questioning. My mom demanded to see Fish Porridge and she told her that I always did not pass up my work. My mom waited for Chia to be done and he kept saying that I was not focused and I was always distracted. Actually, all the teachers said that I needed focus. Argh.. heck focus!

I have so much homework to do. By Monday. Have to go back next week for remedials. My holidays gone. I want to go to the IT Show tomorrow at Suntec.

Goodbye.

2009-03-13T19:20:00.002+08:00

I have Grade 2 Theory of Music exam tomorrow. I'm so scared cause I didn't learn everything properly. Yoke Kay says it should be easy.

I want an iPod Touch!

Goodbye.

Work It Out

2009-03-11T21:06:00.002+08:00

I need to rush Geography. I've got truckloads of work. Sigh. American Idol tonight. Yeah, great!

Goodbye.

3 Words

2009-03-10T22:07:00.002+08:00

I skipped Math remedial today. Art is slowly beggining to make sense. I'm tired.

Goodbye.

Sleep Deprivation

2009-03-08T00:14:00.001+08:00

I slept at 5pm with the intention of waking up tomorrow morning but I woke up at 11pm. I slept for 6 hours in total. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep after I use the computer for awhile.

I finally alept till 12pm this afternoon cause for the past few days, (Friday and Saturday) I had woken up at 7am, a stark difference from my usual waking hours of 10am-1pm. I went for the photoshoot on Friday and went for Flag Day on Saturday. Flag Day was okay. I went with Evan, Ashnee, Rebeah, Zeken, Mariel and Amarpreet to Wisma Atria. We slacked at Food Republic. We talked about gosts, exorcism and other supernatural stuff. I collected a total of 15 cents. 10 cents from Mariel and 5 cents from Ashnee. We left at 11 and arrived back at school at 12 plus.

I rushed home then went to church. To be honest, I was really tired from waking up early the past few days so I couldn't play well. I really had to psyche myself out because I was really tired. I almost fell asleep during the sermon.

I didn't do much today. Today seems like a good day for Malays to get married. I saw a total of 3 wedding being held. Two in my neighbourhood one more near Aljunied. The wedding below my house was so noisy. There were singing non-stop karaoke since morning and so I heard the sound of girls and guys screaming their heads off, not to mention that the songs they sung were in Malay. The week starts again tomorrow. Sigh.

Goodbye.

Fashion

2009-03-07T00:22:00.003+08:00

The word of my day: FASHION

I left the house at 8:15 after logging onto AsknLearn for a while. I downloaded all the Maths etc the night before. I met Valerie and Violet at 8:45 and we trained down to Marina Bay with Sheryl. We got to Marina Bay at about 9:30 and I lugged my suitcase full of camera eqipment onto the free shuttle bus that brought us to Marina Barrage. There was a photoshoot for a wedding going on there. We started shooting at 10am and we broke for lunch at 12 plus. I spent $11.90 buying some smoked salmon sandwich that came with clam chowder soup and coffee. The food there is awfully overpriced but we had no choice. We started shooting again at 1 and we shot all the way till 5pm. I was very tired but the results and fruit of our labour made it all worthwhile. My models were super fierce and I had a fun time experimenting with human portrait and fashion photography.

I'm so sleepy now. My rashes are better now, thanks Chibi. Oh man! I just remembered that there's Flag Day tomorrow. I have to wake up at 7 again. Damn. I will never do something as shameless as to ask people to put money into my tin and then give them a crappy sticker to stick on their shirt. I detest people who do that. I guess I'll just slack tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Hives

2009-03-05T23:06:00.004+08:00

I just watched American Idol. I'm so glad Tatiana Del Toro made it to the Wildcard show.

Today was a crazy day for me. I got home and I immediately started itching all over my body. The itchiness was so hard to bear. My arms, legs, body, thighs all itched like mad. I finally gave up and went to see a doctor at 9pm cause my whole right hand was beginning to swell up. Turns out I was allergic to something and so I broke out in hives. It's cool cause I've never had that before. I rubbed calamine lotion on my legs when I got home. It stinks but it really relieves the itchiness.

E-Learning tomorrow and that means no school. I'm going out with the V twins and Sheryl. Can't wait.

Quote: "Food Courts are for low-class people."

Haha.. Funny siol. Then I wonder what are canteens for. Beggars I guess. Jesline said something very funy also. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. If the doctor is handsome, throw the apple away."

Goodbye.

Doodles

2009-03-03T22:06:00.002+08:00

I am addicted to the new Lipton Milk Tea. It comes in powder form in a packet and I've been like drinking one cup of milk tea during every meal. It's really, really nice.

Angelina Jolie and Rihanna. LOL!

Goodbye.

#1

2009-03-02T23:26:00.001+08:00

It's already March and that mean we're one month closer to the big O's. Time has passed so quickly and I think I really should start perparing for the exams soon. I have to get off my butt and do something as soon as possible. I just realized that my blog will be one-year-old soon. That's one year of typing out my life. Till then.

Goodbye.

Live High

2009-03-01T20:57:00.004+08:00

I went to Raffles Place with the intention of photographing buildings but the place was rubbish cause the buildings were all too high and everything was so closely packed together. I ended up going to Marina Barrage. That place rocks, the moment I neered the place I was like 'wow!', 'Wow!', 'WOW!!' It looked like something out of Singapore. Prolly cause I haven't been there before . The rooftop garden was awesome and the Singapore Flyer was in fullview from that place. I also went into the gallery thingy that explained Singapore's efforts in recycling and building the barrage. Super duper awesome.

I finally went with my mom to make new glasses so you'll prolly be seeing me with my new glasses on Monday cause they'll only arrive on Thursday and there's no school on Friday. I can't wait for Friday.

There's Unexpected Access later tonight. I like that show cause Channel 5 does not censor all the gory in all it's glory. Last week's episode was about the funeral industry and how bodies are washed and filled with formaldehyde. Tonight's episode is about what goes on behind the scenes where pigs are slaughtered. Maybe I'll become a vegan after the show. :)

I'm addicted to the song Live High by Jason Mraz. I LOVE Jason Mraz now cause I think his voice is super awesome. It's a pity that the tockets for his concert this week are sold out. I would have gone for his concert.

Goodbye.

11:11

2009-02-28T23:11:00.002+08:00

11:11 just passed. I just made a wish. The same wish that I have been wishing for everytime I see 11:11. I was in church the whole day today. Service was awesome. Nothing else happened today.

Goodbye.

Show

2009-02-27T20:05:00.003+08:00

Today was a good day. I was supposed to stay back for Art with Ashnee but in the end, we went to Vista to eat lunch with Yuki and Letricia and I went home after lunch. I got home at 2:50 so I took a quick shower and then I watched Survivor. It was nice to watch cause there were no commercials. It's on tonight at 12am so I figured I wouldn't be able to pay attention so late so I wanted to catch the afternoon timing. After Survivor, at 4pm, I had a good sleep till about 7pm. It felt so good to sleep in the afternoon. Channel 5 cut short American Idol for their stupid local music show Live N Loaded. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than listen to local music. Lol. A sweeping statement but I honestly feel that Singaporean singers can't sing well enough like singers from other countries. The songs they sing then become really monotonous and so I think no point having a 1 hour-long show to showcase them when their music isn't the best of the best.

So yeah, American Idol continues tonight with half of the performance show and the results show. Two hours in all. Matt Giraud wasn't great. I'm still counting on Adam Lambert to blow everyone away. And on a side note, about Srvivor, someone please get rid of Coach already. He's so bossy and he's trying to be Mr Know-It-All.

I saw the 'Singaporean' swimmer Tao Li the other day at Vista Point. She attends the Sports School and I was like isn't that Tao Li?

Goodbye.

Guppies

2009-02-25T20:22:00.003+08:00

Someone save me. I'm a murderer. My moms's friend gave us eight guppies claiming that they would survive living in one of my fighting fish's tank (cause he died long ago). I put them in and now they're dying a slow and painful death. They have now all sunk to the bottom of the tank and you can see them gasping for air using their gills. They also try to bolt up to the surface to get air but they fall short and just slowly sink back down to the bottom. About 6 of them are already on the bottom just waiting to die. I feel really bad. I can't help them cause I don't have a bigger tank or an airpump. Even if I ran to the shop to get one, I wouldn't have enough de-chlorinated water to fill up the tank. My heart is aching. I'm killing their inoocent souls. I have now resorted to just facing my computer screen because watching them suffer is just so painfulto watch. It's like I can empathise with them.

The first thing I did when I got home was switch on High School Musical 3. I finished watching it half an hour ago. It really rocks and I also watched the bonus stuff it and it really seems like this movie is the last out of the 'HSM Trilogy'.

I spoke to Joyce today finally. We had a really short convo and I want to talk to her more cause I really want to brush up my fake American accent.

Arghh.. My guppies!!!

Goodbye.

Homework

2009-02-24T21:41:00.002+08:00

YAY! I just finished copying the Chinese comprehension answers from Sam's book. My hands are aching. Debra has just reminded me that we have to hand up the CME thing tomorrow and I have yet to complete English compo. Someone shoot me. I bought the High School Musical 3 DVD today. Looks like I can't watch it tonight cause there's truckloads of work to be done. Arghh!!

Goodbye.

Red

2009-02-23T23:44:00.004+08:00

School was okay. My art is lagging behind. I haven't done anything since the previous deadline. Elaine face was super red today. So funny. Even her scalp was red.

Is it just me or is my blog getting more boring and dry as the days go by.

**Okay, I'm such a doofus. I accidentally posted this to MildlyInsaneVoices by mistake. It's in my blogger dashboard. I really need to sleep.**

Goodbye.

Great

2009-02-21T23:30:00.003+08:00

WEB service today was awesome! Worship was just indescribable. I was really moved. There was so much power in that moment. God is great.

I spent my whole day in church today. I downloaded Kelly Clarkson's new album All I Ever Wanted today. It's supposedly leaked so that's why the download for all the songs are available.

Goodbye

Quickie

2009-02-20T00:29:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna make this quick cause my eyelids can't hold up much longer.

I spent 24 buck buying the same Philips Bubble earphones cause my current ones died on me. The things fell apart and the other side that's intact was not producing any sound. Must be cause I lied on them while I was sleeping every night.

I had to 'baby-sit' someone just now. Made sweet and salty popcorn and I think it was very nice.

I dug my own grve today cause after I drew Rihanna really nicely, Mr Tay wants me to develop the drawing further this weekend so that mean I have to draw and show him something on monday.

I was not happy with the American Idol results. Michael 'I Dont Wanna Be' Sarver should not have gotten in. I wanted Tatiana Del Toro to get in. Bleh. I just watched Survivor and it was nice.

Happy Birthday Hakim! So sorry I can't be there tomorrow. Have a blessed birthday!

Goodbye.

67

Time flew by this week again. It's almost the weekends already. I'm just plain tired of going to school with a heavy bag and being lethargic everyday. So sian. Nothing much has been happening. Just alot of random laughing in school.

Got our Art marks today. I scored 67. Only. After rushing home and stuff and I only get frickkin 67 marks.

Anyway, I didn't know that anonymous people tagged on my blog cause I couldn't view my tagboard until today. Anon people, just reveal yourself. It's not like you're talking about me so just use your real name.

American Idol rocks.

Goodbye.

With Love...

To someone very special:

F*** you! You two-face mofo! Wait, I take that back. I better not f*** you in case I contract a STD. You better try effing yourself first. You honestly think I'm deaf and I couldn't hear your deep manly frog voice when you bitched about me? But wait a minute, you prolly didn't care so whatever. The notice board in school says 'All frogs may die' I hope that's true but ooopss, I take that back again cause you're worse than a frog. You think you so cool wearing super short FBT shorts when all you have is cellulite-filled, jiggly thighs. I ain't no better but at least I'm not so shameless as you to flaunt my flaws. Do I think you're mean? Damn yes you are. One side, you're saying that 'Oh, I'm a Christian, I can't say this, I can't bitch about that' and on the other side, you tear people down and your actions speak louder than all your words. Best example of double standards. I call you fat and that's what I think you are. I'm fat too so I ain't trying to talk about other people and not talk about myself. Honey, my tears are as real as the fact of the size of your thighs, that is, fat and jiggly. You're an ugly person inside and out. If some people can stand you, good for them, maybe no. Good for you. Go figure. That's what I think of you, sweety. One more thing babe, if you really gave me a chance to practice my crying skills, thanks alot but at least I have a skill, unlike you.

XOXO, Duane

Just trying to KISS. Keep It Short and Sweet.

Goodbye.

Valentine

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
(I don't need no Valentine cause I love myself) <33

One week has gone by again. One more day of freedom then it's back to another hell week. So depressing. First of all, I performed today at Plaza Singapura. I sang I'm Yours and I think I screwed up really bad. My nerves and all. Well, it's too late to do it again so... sigh.

Art was dreadful. The maeks for the 5 prep boards would be calculated for CA1 marks and after sticking all my photos and captions onto my board, I realized that I had only 1 1/2 boards. I was so pissed off and Mr Tay was like "I told you already to print out all..." I got even more angry. Does he think that printing is free and that the ink is so cheap that I can print like 70+ pictures. In the end, I rushed home to print out a little more stuff and left again at 4:15. I made it back by 4:30 and I rushed for 1 hour till I submitted it at 5:30. I was hot, sweaty and pissed off. That being said, they better give me high marks if not I'll slap them.

I'm really tired right now. I've been so interested in drawing these past few days. I don't know why. Must be peer pressure from eveyone else in my class. I gonna draw Nick Jonas now.

Goodbye.

Kor Kor William

I haven't posted in almost a week already. I've been really busy with school. Staying out till 7pm at school and then rushing some homework and then going to sleep because of pure exhaustion. Art has been pretty shitty so far. 5 prepboards by Friday. Someone shoot me. I think I can only fill up three at the most. Some other random things that has hapened over the past few days:

I drew Beyonce and it turned out not looking like her but I still like it cause it was my first time drawing a human face and I think I did quite well. I drew a flower today. I just feel that as everyone else gets their prepboards done, they're drawing skills are improving drastically. I don't want to end up not being able to draw when Paper 2 of Art comes so I'm trying to draw at least one thing a day so I can brush up and practice my drawing and shading.

Almost the whole class said "Good Morning Kor Kor William!" to Chia today when we had to greet him. So funny luh! He was like "Why? What's the catch?!"

I bought the CD/DVD of 'Hit Man David Foster and Friends' It's a concert where David Foster's (a famous songwriter and fabulous pianist) number one hits are performed by various artists like Charice Pempengco (I LOVE) and Michael Buble and more. I watched the entire thing last night. It was really nice.

I am addicted to the song Rehab by Rihanna. I wrote 'REHAB' on the side of my left hand. Talking about Rihanna, the story of her getting beaten up by Chris Brown is so unexpected. It's like we just saw them frolicking on the beach in Barbados and now, Brown is facing court charges for assault and etc and Rihanna had to cancel her tour date to Malaysia.

I am so sad that Beyonce didn't win the only Grammy field that she was nominated for. Alicia Keys stole it from her with Superwoman. Next time, B.

Amerian Idol rocks! I'm gonna watch it soon.

Goodbye.

Stupid

2009-02-05T23:30:00.002+08:00

I just had a big argument with my dad. Honestly, I'm missing America's Next Top Model on TV now cause I have to rush the Lit essay and he comes into my room asking me the stupidest questions that make me so pissed off with him. UGHH!

Homework sucks. So does P (*wink*) 4/2 people, you'll know what this means. Yay, I made myself smile. Lol!

Goodbye.

Softbox

2009-02-03T00:01:00.000+08:00

I am so happy now. I made something really cool for studio photography. Since I've bought a flashgun, I might as well start mastering studio lighting techniques and portraiture.

This is a softbox:

It's used to diffuse the light from an external flash so light is evenly apread out and thus the shadows produced won't be very harsh. I made my own softbox just now. I spent one hour putting it together. First, I used a cardboard box and cut it open. Then I realized that I wanted it to be relatively big so I ended up using a lot of masking tape to stick it back together again. I made it simple and didn't add any reflective materials on the inside. I just fitted an old bedsheet over the open side and fitted my flash at the back. I secured the bedsheet with clothes pegs and string. So glad that I could make it cause real ones cost like a few hundred dollars.

I made it cause I needed it for Art. I wanted to take hands breaking free from ropes. I tried doing it indoors but my house was just too small so I moved everything outside to my corridor (I needed a white wall). The lighting outside was perfect and with my softbox, it was even better. In the end, I was too tempted to try it on portrait shots so I got my parents to pose for me. I also asked my dad to take a photo of me.

Home-made Softbox!

Lighted up!

That's me!

Okay, if my mom finds out that I'm still on the computer at such an ungodly hour, she'll kill me. 12:35am already.

Goodbye.

Happy

2009-02-02T21:20:00.002+08:00

I am so happy! Last night at 1am while I was almost gonna shut down my computer, I suddenly felt like doing a mindmap for Art cause my current ideas were kinda literal and flat. I came up with a really good theme and concept and presented it to Mr Tay today and he said it was good. FINALLY, after wasting so much money printing things out and facing his rejection, he finally said I had a 'conceptual' idea. He also said that now I will have to explore my concept clearly with my techniques - Photography. Also, in class today, I finally lost it with 'Muddy-Water'. I just gave her attitude and spoke to her rudely. She gives you one kind of face that you just wanna slap and has the charisma of a cockroach, not to mention the sarcasm in her voice and facial expressions. Ughh, what a waste of my emotions just now. But seriously, I was really pissed off.

Now I'll just work on a write-up on my direction of work for Art. I came home at 6 plus so there was no more time to work on any outdoor photographs so I'll just lay low tomorrow and if the teachers come by, I'll just show them my write-up to show that I did something today at home.

I hate homework!

To someone: Life goes on with or without you. Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable.

Goodbye.

The cat that I always see at the bottom of my aunty's condo. I went to my aunty's house for my last CNY dinner. The food was awesome. This year's ang pao collection was very little. A difference of at least $400 from last year. I'm so disappointed.

There's a Buddhist funeral downstairs my house and they have been chanting the entire day. It's SO annoying.

I finished one English compo and Geography homework today. I don't think I'll do the last compo cause I'm really tired.

I have nothing much to talk about. I'm really hungry.

Goodbye.
