Two Consecutive Days

Music: Jamie Cullum - Everlasting Love

Okay should get down to blogging now. Today was fun!
Had lunch with john, sean and javier at novena fish & co.
The service wasnt that good today, well, not as good as it was
the other time I was there. Anyway, after that, john had to
go off to meet somebody so we went to plaza sing to watch
The Incredibles! Again! Actually, I didnt really mind watching
it again, although, it was a bit of a waste of money. But watching
the second time was as good as the first time! Haha had a great
time attempting to imitate Edna Mode and this time there was
this really really lame (but funny) Pixar short called 'Boundin'!
Okay it was really senseless and stuff but totally hilarious...
Pixar must be really bored to create something like that I guess.
Anyway, its really quite interesting how javier has never taken
the MRT before and so we forced him to! Haha javier's learning
more and more new things! XD Speaking of which, he was wearing
the Levi jeans that I helped him buy yesterday (details on his blog)!
Haha and it was like his first time in 4 years(?) wearing jeans! Its
really okay to wear jeans javier! Well today (and yesterday) was
fun! Haha well the holidays arent so boring now after all and
Christmas shopping should be around the corner! =)

On a sidenote, the Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason OST sounds nice!
Except for a couple of old songs(Crazy In Love???), there's Dido,
Annie Lennox(LOTR!) and Jamie Cullum. Christmas gift maybe?

{edit} (OH NO! WHY IS MY SISTER WATCHING THIS RECAP
ON SYLVESTER'S IDOL JOURNEY??? YIKES!)

A Blustery Day

Music: Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All

Ahhh. Ronan Keating's Greatest Hits!! It just sounds really
nice on such a windy morning. And especially since the wind
blew the door shut so loudly that I woke up -.- Hmmm it
really hasnt been this windy for ages. And its really nice, not
too hot or anything either. The weather should be like that
EVERYDAY. o.O Well, maybe thats too much to hope for.

Anyway, went to watch The Incredibles at cine yesterday!
Haha, it was so funny and I really couldnt stop laughing at
Edna Mode's yakking. (I laughed even more when I found
out later that she was voiced by the male director) Haha
the whole concept was very funny. A great twist on the
superhero concept with a lot of outrageous action sequences!
Then, after that chu and kelvin were incredibly(!) bored and
so we ended up walking up and down the entire length of
orchard. Haha the things that can happen when you're bored.
And chu seems to have an obsession with earrings, ear-piercing
etc. She wants me and kelvin to get our ears pierced. o.O"

I just love windy days. Argh, why didn't olinda get in? Slyvester
cant even sing for his dinner man. If he wins Singapore Idol, I'm
gonna change my nationality. Haha if I could. Oh well. Ciao.

WISHLIST!!1!11!!1!one

Music: The Killers - Somebody Told Meee

Okaay, im probably going crazy again. But yesh, somebody
inspired me to blog. So I must. I must. Blog. Anyway, i've
finally decided to do something I havent done in ages and
will probably be doing more often in the future... LISTS!!!

And for today, its gonna be a wishlist! Okay, but before I
start wasting blog space, I must comment on certain.. issues.
Firstly, why does everybody seem to have ONLY watched
charlie's angels for the first time on sunday on channel 5?
Ahhh... the world needs desparate reviving!! Well thats
another dumb assumption but who cares. In other news,
I'm finally starting on my morning runs! FOUR times a week,
mind you. I bet no other average sane 14-year old adolescent
does this!! *With the exception of katrina, my friendly neighbour
who runs with me every morning =)) , but normally stops at 2 km
while I continue straining my legs until the 5km mark. I think my
asics running attire completely rocks the socks off everybody! =)
However, such strenous exercise in the morning, when almost
every other kid is asleep, rendered my legs totally immobile when
I ran for like.. the first time in 3 months? Thankfully I dont have
to walk back on crutches after more.. erm... frequent runs. =P

Anyway, the amazing race is back on its 6th season tonight! MUST WATCH.

Okay, back on track, the WISHLIST in no order of importance (riiight) :

>> An iPod, duh! Would rather have iPod Photo but would be content
with the original. 15 or 20 GB version would be more than sufficient.
Altec Lansing speakers to go with it. Hope there's some discount...
>> Go somewhere nice. Like anywhere in Europe except for Romania XD
>> A new computer. This compaq presario is getting too cranky. Anything
that has at least 40GB, 256MB RAM, a Pentium4 3GHz processor, graphic
and sound cards good enough to support most games on the market now.
Speakers. REALLY BIG. Okay maybe A425 speakers would be good enough.
>> A phone upgrade PLEASE. Mines a 6610 and 2 years old. Contract expiring!
A camera phone would be nice. 1 megapixel, bluetooth and all. Samsung or Nokia.
>> More CDs please. I still dont have Hopes and Fears!! No 1 Hits, Harmonium,
Confessions Special Edition, One Day Remains and Borrowed Heaven!
>> More DVD/VCDs please. Might get Spider-man 2 or Troy. Waiting for
Mean Girls(!), Bourne Supremacy and The Terminal to come out soon.
>> A home theatre system to go with these?
>> More books... the Da Vinci Code, Confessions of a Hotel Heiress etc.
>> Pick up a new hobby... Its awfully boring now.
>> A proper running attire
>> MORE CLOTHES. Especially a big, thick, fluffy(err maybe not) jacket
for next year's OEP trip to whichever Chinese city.
>> And finally, all those taking their O's and A's, wish you all good marks! =)

I JUST realised it'd be better if i put this up on the sidebar. =/

Attemping a sane post

Music: F.I.R. - Lydia

Watched Shark Tale a couple of days ago with my sister.
The animation was considerably good, similar to Shrek 2's
CGI technology i suppose. However the plot was rather
shallow, as predicted. The moral themes werent too bad
though. I suppose its quite relevant to modern society,
like how being at the top isnt what matters most.

Anyway, camp was fun, not forgetting that i really didnt
get any sleep. 9 hours over 2 nights??? Nevertheless, I
had a great time. Don't all korean drama serials have almost
exactly the same plot? Like single parents, adopted children,
evil stepmothers, stepsisters and even stepuncles. Theres
also the necessary car crash, sending the lead actor/actress
into a coma for a while and when he/she finally wakes up,
he/she gets amnesia and their "destined love one" has to
find a way to get back his/her memory. There's also illegal
affairs between siblings, adults, fashion designers and whatnot.
My mother just loves watching them. Cant be helped. Sigh.

I honestly need a mp3 player if my parents arent gonna let
me access the computer everyday, 'cause my database of
almost a thousand songs is stored in here. My computer is
also considerably old. This was bought in 1999? 15GB only?

It may sound cheesy, but this calls for A WISHLIST.

A start to a holiday

Music: McFly - 5 Colors in her Hair

Somehow this song never fails to remind me
of That 70's Show! XD Anyway, havent posted
for 2 weeks. Basically I forgot to post because it
was either the last week of school(!) or the beginnning
of the holidays. So its a very busy transitional period.

I havent watched any movie except for Vanity Fair
since the end of exams! I mean like there are people
who are taking their O levels who have been going
out a lot more than me during this period! Haha actually
I have been going out, but not shopping or anything.
Mostly just to have lunch. Well, a rundown of recent events:

29th October, the last day of school, met chu ting and rachel
at Borders. Apparently, they were buying gifts for each other?
Haha Christmas isnt here yet, albeit it is approaching though.
After that, trooped off to Edo at cine for dinner. Its bad eating
only soba and 3 plates of sushi =P Serious lack of nutrition.
Theres an uncanny similarity with the events of the last time
we went there. The other time, coming from Victoria, people
had to rush off halfway eating like daryl and now it was rachel.
ANDD, somehow or other jade will appear out of nowhere and
comment on how disgusting japanese food is! Deja vu perhaps?
Later, chu ting had the warped idea of going to RG Drama Nite.
Anyways, walking down orchard at 11+ is great. So little people,
bright lights still everywhere, nice strong wind blowing. =D

Yesterday was out with javier. Sushi again! This time at sakae
though. Something about conveyer belt sushi restaurants...
Their service isnt that good actually. People at Edo tend to
ignore you and those at Sakae just cant leave your table!
Haha anyway javier wanted to find book binders which was
at CityLink and being the ditzy blonde, he kept asking whether
we were going the right direction and couldnt recognise suntec
when we were right in front of the entrance! Lol, anyway i've
got ac camp next week. Blogging from my aunt's office now?

Sheesh, I never thought that sharon would make a comeback
on my blog. How revolting. Okay they're closing now! XD
