From Yuen Ling's Post

Read this from Yuen Ling's post, who was inspired by a post from www.mrbrown.com....

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie

Ok here goes...

Opening Credits : U Don't Have to Call By Usher. Wah, so romantic.. I always love this song to bits. Does it means that already at the beginning of the movie I already had a guy waiting for me but I just don't call him?? LOL...

Waking Up : Build God, Then We'll Talk by Panic! at the Disco. Seriously speaking, I only listen to this song a couple of times and nv really go and find out what was it all about... so I don't know whether applicable anot.

First Day At School : Shake it off by Mariah Carey. This is funny... am I supposed to shake off my first day of school? Or already on the first day of school I have to shake off a guy?? Wahahah...

Falling in Love : Not Ready to Make Nice by Dixie Chicks. "I'm not ready to make nice, i'm not ready to back down, Still mad as hell and I don't have time to go round and round and round..." I rather this song to be the fight song... I am supposed to be falling in love!! Not trying to fight off the guy to want to love me... This is turning out the weirdest life story that I ever have...

Fight Song : La Tortura By Shakira... this is turning out to be "great" because this is in spanish!! Don't know whether applicable anot!! But I don't think it's a sad song...

Breaking Up : Daughters by John Mayer. Hahaha... this is to tell the guy that perhaps he makes a grave mistake by giving me up?? Girls (Daughters) are supposed to be treated right??

Prom : SOS by Rihanna... win liao. I am not that desperate!! I am not S.O.S-ing for prom because of no dates or other things!! Or maybe that day something bad might happen? Like broken nail??

Life's ok : Get Right by Jennifer Lopez. Ok.. at least the song is upbeat. My life is at least not at the doldrums.

Mental Breakdown : Signs by Snoop Dogg. This song is abt a guy's feelings to a girl le... not applicable here.

Driving : Amazing by George Michael. Maybe my driving is going to be amazing? The ride will be amazing? I don't mind having this song to drive home to..

Flashback : A Public Affair by Jessica Simpson. Strange... my flashback will be something public??

Getting Back Together : Penny and Me by Hanson. I almost forgot that I had this song... maybe my getting back together will be as sweet as the song describe??

Wedding : Broadway by Goo Goo Dolls. I was wondering when a GGD song will appear because I had so many of them in my player... but it is the most unsuitable song for the most unsuitable category.. really have no link to wedding. (Sad... I really wanted Iris to appear here...)

Birth of Child : Maneater By Nelly Furtado. Almakz... I am supposed to eat my child?? Or supposed to eat a man while I am in labour? Or my child will be a girl who will eat man up in the future?? Really have no link...

Battle : Bufferfly by Crazy Town. Really no link... If I am a guy I would probably say something like trying to get a woman to be with me... But I am a girl!!

Death Scene : Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. Maybe this means that my death is going to be crazy or bizzare?? No idea. Not applicable too.

Funeral Song: Lips of an Angel by Hinder. This is a great song... I don't mind being my funeral song...

End Credits : Pon De Replay By Rihanna. Oh well... my life story ending with an upbeat song.. it's not too bad.

Like Yuen Ling's, my song list also doesn't make sense. Oh well, it's all done in the name of fun.

Speaking of music, I love this Josh Kelley's Only You song!! I hope everyone else loves it too..

Cheerios.

Me is sick

Me got runny nose, sore throat, lost voice, body ache and fever rushes... me really broke down this time. Caused me not able to do Sharon's stuff.. sorry girl I caused u so much trouble... Me got to see a doctor soon..

So now, my question for today is, how do u draw a line between "Your Gut feeling is right" or "You are just plain paranoid"?? Everytime, whenever I was faced with a situation whereby I need to make a decision, I always think of the former. Then, when I got time to think about it again, I feel like the latter. I always feel guilty, and always end up blaming myself for being paranoid after making a f.u.s.s...

But sometimes, u wonder, is it so hard to be thought about?? Does the saying "Absence makes a heart grows fonder" actually means "Absence makes u more forgettable"? Is it worth it to say what u feel, or contain it inside u? Is it mendable? Are u making a molehill? Thinking about all these questions can make u explode...

To you* all: I just want to be remembered...

On a lighter topic, my Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer in Aust open. It is like "Again??" Huge thrashing from Federer. No wonder he is world number 1 for don't know how long. So now Aust Open winner is Federer to lose now because the other finalist is like 10+ ranking la...

And Maria Sharapova lost to Serena Williams... another huge thrashing from Williams. Shit.

Anyway, I kinda like taking Corp Finance with Irene because somehow I think that we actually grow a little closer to each other. That is what I feel lah. And we found out that we are actually not very different from each other... we faced similar problems. Friends, schools, whatever. The only difference is she can complain to her bf while I cry myself to sleep with my bolester...

Ok, the last line is a joke.

Anyway, thanks irene for lending me u-know-what so that I don't have to waste money...

Watched The Illusionist with Juliana last thurs. Was such a hectic day for me that it was a miracle that the move haven't start when we entered the theatre. It was okay, not too bad. But thinking about how the magician did that trick will kill ur brain cells.

So next up, BABEL!! If I can recover from my sickness in time...

With my timetable fixing drawing to a close, I realised that my timetable will be super hectic. 2 days rushing home from tuition. 1 day go home at 6pm. 1 day free. 1 day just school. I can forsee that I may turn crazy..

Oh well. My head is exploding and painful. Better go and sleep.

Cheerios.

P.S. I added Josh Kelley's on my blog... I love this song... it's so upbeat and fun. I wish the local radio stations will play his songs because he is actually good... wil post the lyrics the next time...

Katharine Mcphee's New Album and Single

In the midst of all the Idol fever, I have no forgotten my last season Katharine Mcphee!! I love her because she is a really great singer, cute and extremely gorgeous!! It's a shame she did not win the competition, but nevertheless having a record deal!!

This is her first single "Over It" off her debut album... it's not her official video but a montage and there is also lyrics on it to sing along...


Ah... I like it. It's refreshing and cool and laid-back.. but I am a little disappointed that this song does not showase her vocals that much... still it's a great song.

And a video of her singing with Andrea Bocelli's Somos Novios!!



Enjoy!!

I better be back to work again... researching again...

Cheerios.

Remember to watch American Idol!!

This is just great.

U know what? Me and CORS this sem don't work together this time. Me and tutorial registration don't work together this time too.

So many things go wrong this time. Don't even get me started.

Not to mention how I irked the fact that You* are eating everything.

Hopefully, all these 'bad luck' that I have at the beginning of this sem means that I have no more bad luck at the end of the sem... hopefully this will translate into better results.

I am still awaiting my first grade A in NUS...

And I want to get my palm read again this year. Will the palmist comes back to NUS again??

Back to work. No cheerios this time.

......"Yufen Out"????....

Catching the American Idol fever.

Why is this always happening to me??

I think am jinxed with cors this sem. I did not get the tutorial slot I wanted AGAIN... it's like the umpteenth time!! I am sick and tired of it!! As this time I only need to ballot for 1 tutorial, getting the first choice of tutorial will be my aim. But HOW COME AGAIN not my first choice??? After the closure of the module, now this. It's sickening!!

I am doing swapping now and hopefully I can get the slot I want... if not I will maybe do appealing... But I have little hopes in swapping because apparently the tutorial slot I want is hot property...

Leonardo DiCapio did not win Best Actor for Golden Globe... which is very sad considering that he had 2 nominations in that category!! For The Departed and Blood Diamond. I watched these 2 movies and I thought he deserved to win. But then again, I did not watch Forest Whitaker so I have no idea... Well at least, Leo won Best Actor 2 years ago for The Aviator...

He is winning me over by his acting slowly. After Catch Me If You Can, then come Gangs of New York, then The Aviator, to now... I am now truly a coverted Leonardo DiCapio fan. It seems now too long ago people are in Leomania during his Titanic Days. People then were not talking about how great his acting was then. I told jul that I shall try to watch all his shows from now on, especially those acclaimed ones. I am not sure whether she is with me, but I think it should be.

Let's hope that he has more luck in winning an Oscar!! He has been nominated for way too many times not to win!! Wait for Jan 23 for the oscar nomination lists!!

Speaking of Titanic, I think Kate Winslet is a great actress too. She has been given for too little credit for her work for me.

And at least Martin Scorsese won best director...

And 1 of the best moments in yesterday show is when Sacha Cohen's speech in best actor in comedy... it's a little crude but funny... lol..

Well, there may be disappointment in Golden Globe but no disappointment in So You Think You Can Dance!! My fave dancer really won the competition. BENJI!!!! Yes!!! I am finally not a curse for reality shows!!

BENJI!!! LOVE HIM!!! BENJI BENJI BENJI!!! He is like the cutest guy dancer I seen...

I think I shall go back to sleep. My language is getting incoherent..

Cheerios.

** To You: Stop taking me as the butt of your jokes. I don't mind the joking, but sometimes it has gone too far. I hate it when you yourself is never the subject of joking when u talked to others and always used me to help you become 'funny'. That is not funny. Also, stop trying to assume things!! Things are not as it seems!! I am sick and tired of denying it!! I hate it when you just spring the topic out of nowhere when u need something to talk about!! Use yourself as a subject pls!! Not me!! You don't know me at all!! So don't pretend!!

I seriously regreted telling you one of that secret. It shouldn't have come out.

And wipe that smug look off your face. You ain't winning me at anything.

Updates and Plushenko's "Great" Show..

I think there is a collective laziness around the blogging world recently. Most people are just feeling tired and lazy and bored to blog. So am I... I am just feeling bombed by so many things recently that I'm just too tired to blog..

The mystery behind my closed arts gem module is out. Apparently it was because the professor coordinating the module had just passd away... a lot of people know about that because apparently it has been huge in the papers. I kinda felt bad, because I had been scolding all sorts of things at the soci dept and him before I knew the truth... Linda asked me not to be so hard on him since he's not around anymore..

But still, I rather have a replacement lecturer than having the module closed. The anxiety, nervousness and te unsettledness is horrible. I never wanted to go through that again.

So now I am taking General Biology. Wanted to take this module next sem but oh well, it's the last round of bidding with not too many modules left. This is the one I can get it at 1 point... then found out that a hell lot of people taking this module too!! Yiwen and gang, Wee Inn, Joce, Cher etc and Weiwei!! Wanted to try having the same lab timing with Cher they all but Weiwei is taking the module alone so I be with her...

Anyway after the Gen bio lecture it was raining cats and dogs and rabbits and tigers or whatever u want to call it!! Weiwei and I were wet, tired, sleepy and wanted to get home early for the open lab registration. Wanted to take a cab but there were not many cabs wanting to take us!! In the end we hailed a cab driver that wanted to go to Telok Blangah to change shift. He refused to drive us to Tampines, but he offered to drive us to Tiong Bahru MRT for free!! That was so nice of him!! He said that since it's raining heavily and it's on the way, he didn't mind sending us there for free!! It's so rare to meet such nice drivers these days...

Anyway, was browsing through YouTube again (told u guys that I'm a fan), found a couple of reallu great videos. Found this new skating programme by Sasha Cohen... it's an awesome skate. I love it!!! Esp the bending down part she done at 4.12...

It's called West Side Story...

Remember who is she? She is my female skating idol...




I found another video of her skating to a live performance of Christina Aguilera's Hurt during a christmas show I think... Jul is going to love this. Her fave song is Hurt at the moment...


I only put Sasha's skating video here. The link for Christina's performance is here.

I found Evgeni Plushenko's New Year eve performance and it got me laughing so bad!! Remember him? He's my skating idol along with Sasha Cohen... The performance was simply hilarious!!

JuL and Adeline: I think you will love this!!!



Oh my goodness... takes Oops I did it again to a whole new level... along with his trademark Sex Bomb...

And I love his acting and dancing... but my fave is his hairstyle!! LOL...

Oh well... he is absolutely funny and buay paiseh which is part of the reason why I like him so much... got me laughing till all my stress is released..

I'll try to blog more often. Cheerios.

David Beckham To LA

This news surpassed my module news...

Becks is moving to MSL team LA Galaxy, leaving Real Madrid in June 2007..


And it's for a 5 years deal..

Huh?! I am a little shocked to be honest, because I thought he might want to come back and play EPL. He is still a good player after all. No one can take that away from him...

I admired him man, because moving to LA for soccer, in a country whereby American football and not soccer is the No1 sport in the country... But maybe it's the best for him, since he is hitting bottlenecks everywhere in Europle right now... with players younger, faster, quicker and cheaper than him (though not too many having their right foot like his...)

This means that we will not see Becks often anymore on the pitch... but I have a feeling that he will appear on a lot of American shows or maybe even MTV shows like trl...

He is hitting Hollywood, the last place that he had not conquered.

Oh well girls... enjoy him while u still can... in his white jersey...

Cheerios.

I'll take back

I'll take back some of the harsh words I used in the previous post. The closure of the module is not anyone's fault.

But I am still mad. I felt that more can be done.

Aiyah... what to do?

More about it soon..

Seeya.

Don't provoke me today

I am the most f**ked up, angry, annoyed, irritated, screwed, infuriated and sucky girl today. Don't provoke me today.

MY FREAKING ARTS GEM MODULE IS CLOSED!!!

I SPENT 1 WHOLE AFTERNOON SITTING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER AND USED 249 POINTS FOR THAT F**KED MODULE!!!

If u know me well enough, u guys should know that I don't use the f word often. In fact, it can be less than 10 times in my lifetime.

But this time I am really irritated and angry at NUS and its arts fac!!!

So now I have 4 biz mods with no non-core. Have to appeal for a non-core. SUBJECT TO VACANCIES....

THIS IS FREAKING RIDICULOUS!!!

I was offered another arts gem sociology mod... "Understanding Globalisation"... which is not my first choice even though I was ok with it. But the timing sucks and the exams date sucks too... 12-2pm on thurs for lecture, with exam date on 2 may 2007.

This means that if I am taking that module, I will have straight lessons for 9am-2pm non-stop on thurs and have a paper on the date whereby everyone finished.

I have the right to be mad.

Don't provoke me today. You are warned.

School Starting tml

Sucks... school is starting tml and I am totally not ready!! I really don't know what this sem will bring... but it's going to be crazy. I haven't enjoy my hols enough yet!! Argh... this sem's hols is extremely short.

But still, if everything goes wrong, I can just vent my frustrations here huh? Or maybe I just do what my obession John Rzeznik does... ( I told the following to a couple of people already...)

LOL... if u can't stand ppl putting their middle fingers up (like me), then I'm sorry. But this is an awesome picture of him...

I read his quote about this picture from somewhere... I can't remember the link (sorry to whoever that posted that quote!!). He said something like this:

"It takes 47 muscles to frown, 17 muscles to smile...

"But it takes only 4 muscles to stick up your middle finger."

LOL... gives those people who loves to stick up their middle fingers more reason to do so huh?

Anyway, I forgot to mention another New Year resolution.

Never be freaking late again!!

How many times had I been early last yr?? Less than 10!! Shit!!

But we all know how many new year resolutions we broke over the years... (=

Oh well... better get prep to go to school tml. Hope this sem is a good one.

Anyway, American Idol starting on 17 Jan!! Mark ur calendars people!!

Cheerios.

Happy 2007!!

Happy 2007 people!!!

Hope everyone has a great 1st day of 2007...

I had been renting movies the past few days, and watched a couple of shows that I had missed. Poseidon, You, Me and Dupree, The Family Stone... but the best movie I had watched the last few days is Walk The Line. Now I finally understand why Resse Witherspoon won the Oscar for Best Actress. She was fantastic in that show!! I never seen her act like that before because she has been acting so many romantic comedies before she took on this show. Plus, she sang all the vocals!! *Impressed*

Actually, I think Joaquin Phoenix acted better, but they both were great...

This is my fave song sang in the movie, Time-A-Wastin. I really love the tune and the lyrics...

I got arms
And I got arms
Let's get together and use those arms
Let's go
Time-A-Wastin
I got lips
And I got lips
Let's get together and use those lips
Let's go
Time-a-wastin
A cake's no good if u don't mix the batter and bake it
And love's just a bubble if u don't take the trouble to make it
So if u're free to go with me
I'll take it quicker than a 1-2-3
Let's go
Time-a-wastin

And my fave part of the movie... ah...the last proposal that Johnny Cash make to June Carter..

I regreted not watching this show in the cinemas actually. But hey, now at least i caught the show.

Hope you guys enjoy it. Cheerios.
