What colour is my gown????

I hate to admit this... but i really sux...

Went to collect my gown this morning... Okay, I shall not complain that the queue too forever to reach me.. I shall not complain that I waited for almost 30mins before it reached my turn when I'm actually only 3rd in line... I shall not complain about how long it took for the 'cashier' to process my purchase.. I shall not complain that the 'cashier' did not even know how to type an email add...(she forgot to put "@")... I shall not complain that I wasted one whole hour just to collect my damn gown...

Anyway, the point is.. when I finally got around to collect my gown.. I was given a Pink band (or whateva u would call that)... okie.. At least that was what I thought I was supposed to get... Until the lady realized that I was supposed to get Orange instead... Honestly, I was not quite convinced that it's orange..Afterall, all my life, I thought that it's supposed to be pink... PLus, the coworkers at the counter won't exactly sure either.. (they didn't quite echo the lady's comment that it's orange).. and that kinda worried me..

Hence, I stopped to think who I could call to ask for help... Only 2 names flashed past my mind - PeiLing (my beloved sis who graduated from arts previously) and LOL, ironically, my dear sista who, erm, is NOT graduating this year, who is NOT a social work major and best of all, is NOT even a student in NUS... Couldn't reach PL (hee, think she's busy @ work) but anyway, as usual, my sista never failed me... LOL, he was able to clear my doubt --> so it's orange after all....LOL

Sista... u r the beSt! How can I ever survive without you!

LOL....

I'm in love with.....

His voice.....

It's been a long time since someone's voice touched me so much that I wanna cry when I hear him sing....

and I did cry...

The emotions he has is so overwhelming that my heart aches when he sings a sad song and that my heart melts when he sings a sweet love song.... Maybe it's what he has been through that made him sing with such powerful emotions that it's just... (sigh, i could barely use words to describe how i feel when I hear his songs...)... so touching... I know I'm bad with words.. but his voice is just so beautiful... so perfect.... so.... nice...

He sings a sad song with so much emotions - sadness and pain that all i wanna do is to be there and tell him that he'll be just fine... Yet, with his very same voice, he could sing a love song with soooo much love and promise that I wished I was the person he was singing it to....

I started playing 背叛 repeatedly in the car initially as I really couldn't understand what he is singing (he sorta mumbles.) but yet his voice sounds so sad and painful that I could not help it but instead keep repeating the song to try to figure out the lyrics.. (and of course, the tune was nice)

When I finally gave up and checked it out online, I grew to love the song even more... The lyrics is so heartbreaking... The love is just deep (yes, I'm a sucker for sad love songs where the person who loved so deep would eventually choose to let go so that the one party will be happier..) and his voice totally conveyed the pain the person is feeling....

It makes me want to be there for him to console him.. to lend him a shoulder...

Decided to check out his clips on youtube.com... and OMG.. I just grew even deeper in love with his voice.. His live performance is just so breathtaking...darn...kinda wished I took notice of him earlier and made an effort to catch him live in Singapore...

I guess what his voice has that I can't seem to find in others.. is true feelings...it's as if each and every song is a part and parcel of his life... The story of each song reflects his past thus allowing him to sing each song with such emotions... Or maybe it's simply because he's a great singer... a DARN great one....

All I hope is that he will maintain his feelings - true and real, and his style in his future albums... So many other singers have been there and have since changed so much until they kinda lost what they were initially... I seriously hope he stays the same... I hope that his future albums would be as real and genuine as his first two....

His name is 曹格.

LOL... maybe it's the wee hours that made me say all these... and if u don't understand or totally disagree.. too bad for me.. but seriously.. I'm in love with his voice....

If i had a wish... I wish he would sing a song just for me....

If I had another wish... I wish he would have a small unplugged concert... just a piano and a small audience... a stage where he could sing all his songs in silence... a performance where I can truly immerse myself in..(rather than the terrible and noisy usual concert environment.. yucks)

Oh, by the way... OMFG.. he speaks in an accent~ (grew up in Canda & New Zealand...)

*Key melts into a pool of water...*

I am gainfully employed!!!!!!!

Finally went to sign my appointment letter today... (after a long month of waiting) Nearly died of anxiety in the process of getting to the location.....Firstly, started panicking at 1.20pm when I realized that I've nothing to match the pants that I bought and ended up spending a whole 40mins before I finally decided on what to wear (which was NOT the pants in the end.). Was about to leave home when I realized that I forgot to photocopy a particular transcript.. (that was at 2pm... I was supposed to reach at 2.30pm!!). After some thinking and turning into the wrong lane, I decided to abandon the last minute task of zapping the transcript and head down to the location directly. After driving for a mere 10mins, the no-petrol sign lighted up.

Fuck.

the car was low... as in, really low, on petrol....

sigh.... after a short panic attack, I decided to pia my way to the location anyway, keeping my fingers crossed throughout... and thankfully, managed to make it there, without running out of petrol!!!!

Anyway, after conquering all 'obstacles', I managed to arrive on TIME!! Was expecting ONE legal document or something like that which i can just sign and be done with... but instead, it was a whole chunk of forms (that needed some patience to complete) and papers.... So, anyway, the point is .... *drum rolls*... I'm GAINFULLY EMPLOYED!!!! hooray.... finally a load off my shoulder and I'm good to enjoy my trip in Aus...

Hee... anyway... got a piece of bad news.... sigh.. apparently, I've a uniform.. erm.and it's PINK...(yucks).. but whatever, for the $$, (breathes in)... I will live with it!

Sigh...

I'm so pissed right now! So pissed with the fucking mac software... my stoopid macbook!!!!!! I can't understand why with today's technology, mac still can't perform several simple functions that windows does.....

1. The stupid itunes cannot even automatically convert wma to playable format!!!!!! Ironically, my windows itunes cld!
2. Quicktime can't seem to tell me what are my missing codecs in order for me to play a particular movie file!!!!!
3. My stoopid ipod is formatted for windows!!!!! So, i needa restore configurations (which means i lose all my playlist!) in order to use it for mac.... OMFG...

Spent the whole night trying (til 4am!!!) to burn Data Dvds for the Y Group... Firstly, it took so bloody long to burn each disc... (sigh, i forgive mac for it since each disc is abt 2.5G...) and out of which, 4 (out of the 14 I did) failed! Tmd.. wasted $2.40 of my $$$$$!!!!

The best of all... (FUCK), I woke up to discover that I've burnt everything in the WRONG format...some stupid HS+ that is ONLY compatiable for MAC!!!!!!!!! FUCK!...

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@$!!##&%#%#$!^!%#!%$^#$&#^%!$%%

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really feel like crying right now......

Sigh.. feel like slapping myself for choosing a macbook....

Experimenting with Gimp...

Feels a little handicapping trying to figure out how to use Gimp (a free software that allows photo editing...)....

But after the best method - of trial and error - the ever powerful, intelligent and capable KeY has it all figured out...

Muahahahhahaha.... managed to squeeze out a collage! (and of course, a playback of my USA days....)




From top left to right...

1. The outside of central library....
2. The inside of the magnificant library
3. Lunch break @ wallstreet...
4. (second row) Subway exit @ World Trade Centre.. (it definitely looks prettier than the actual WTC site..)
5. Picture stall @ Central park.. (always feel like slapping myself for not buying any of the beautiful pics...)
6. Statue of liberty, of course
7. (third row) KeY, KeY's Bro, Zim & Chunnie go to White castle!!!!!!
8. My favourite place - Times Square
9. BEST food place in New York (with really cute waiters of course) - OLive Garden...

Sigh.. I MISS new york.....

Okay, I'm missing the point here too... Anyway, I'm gonna applaud myself for my accomplishment - MY FIRST (of many more) COLLAGE using GIMP!

Hooooooray~

South Park....

After investing $160 on 2 seasons of south park, I came to realise that I've gotten my money's worth... It's amazing how I could actually learn from them! I am proud to say that my vocabulary has expanded and I've learnt TWO new words (slangs) after watching 39 episodes of South Park.

TURD [turd]
–noun Slang: Vulgar.
1. a piece of excrement.
2. a mean, contemptible person.

and

DOUCHE BAG
–noun
1. a small syringe having detachable nozzles for fluid injections, used chiefly for vaginal lavage and for enemas.

These shall replace my current limited vocab of SHIT and ASSHOLE... After all, after experimenting and scolding several people "TURD", I came to observe that most of them did not understand that word and instead gave me a blank look and a "What?!" respond...Thus, these responses reinforced my satisfaction of knowing that those I scold/curse (most of them) did not even know what's going on! all i can say... damn song~

As for now, the love of my life is none other than...
