Tsukushi: Doumyouji no yume tte sa... Yume tte nani?

Doumyouji: *points at Tsukushi* Mou kanatta.

UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA >__< *does the fangirl flail*

Sigh. i should reeeeally stop watching these sort of jdramas. It's bad for the heart.  

Must remember that i will never get tsumabuki satoshi/matsumoto jun/kimura takuya/ikuta toma/*insert name of cute/hot guy here*

Must remember that in real life, one would be hard-pressed to find a guy who'd say something like that and actually mean it.

Must remember that real life is just.. boring.

*wah but if matsujun really said that to me riight.. i think i'd either break down and cry OR throw myself onto him and hold onto him forever and ever. Actually i think i'll do both and probably in that order as well. haha.*

sighhhh.

  

   You know it's the exam period when you start having pimple breakouts :(

   And the funny part is that i'm not even in my exam mode yet. I should really start getting into the mode now. Argh all the revision/pre-exam stress is gonna cause massive pimple breakouts weh. 

   So not looking forward to exams.    

   I is champion!! - Finished my international law essay in 3 days (that includes reading, researching, planning and writing). Managed to hand in all my essays on time woohoo! Then again, i think my other friend is the real champion; she finished her international law in one day, BFI essay in 2 days. crazy wehh.

   Anyway, Thursday was not only the dateline for my International Law essay but it was also.. MSA's Charity Night! :D Was supposed to perform for that night... Unfortunately, because i had been slaving away at my essays the past week and a half, i hadn't actually practiced much but i didn't want to pull out either because i promised jon siao and hui lin i'd do it (and i wanted to as well coz it's been ages since i last performed solo haha). So, i decided to do one of my original songs but couldn't pick between 2: a short cute one (but with great potential to spark lots of catcalls and *ahem* remarks from the audience which will prob comprise of my friends) OR an emo one which is not so cute but still as nice (or so i feel la. then again it's my song so i might be a little bias lar). After practising with Jin who accompanied me on his bongos, decided on the short cute one coz the bongos suited the song better. lol.

   As usual, the lineup for Charity Night included the one and only Nic Foo! :D haha. But it was so emo when he made his speech before performing; talked bout how it would be one of his last performances as a 3rd year. When Jer came up to perform he mentioned something along those lines as well.. Then it hit me, i won't be able to perform with them anymore next year. No more jamming sessions with Jer. No more watching Nic perform. omg so emo. shit la. i'll definitely miss them when they graduate. sighh.. Anyway, on a happier note, i managed to record some of the performances so here they are! :D

the acapealla group consisting of Ian, Sarah, Hui Lin and Shen Ting rehearsing Short People. Didn't manage to catch their actual performance :( but it was good nonetheless!

Rahul performing Always On My Mind - only managed to catch a portion of it though.. aww.. and the audience was so noisy!!! such a waste.

Nic Foo peforming What A Difference a Day Makes and part of Summertime (didn't mean to stop halfway but my camera just suddenly stopped recording :S )

the rest of Nic Foo's rendition of Gershwin's Summertime

Jer performing his guitar medley - Dream a little dream, Blue Moon, How Deep is your love and Tears in Heaven

and last but not least.. Me! heheh. I had to do both songs in the end as u can see. lol. I love how i have Jin AND Nic accompanying me (yes if you listen closely, u'll notice an electric guitar accompanying me in the background.. too bad Nic isn't in the frame :(.. but haha my friends are funny ppl laa.. lol.

   my phone inbox still has messages dating from pre-mnight times.. it's only been 2 months i know but if you think of how many SMSes u send and receive on a daily basis, these mnight msgs are like super old.. I know i should delete these messages but i guess there's a part of me that doesn't want to. I tend to find myself deleting more recent and boring msgs that i get like "wut u doin?" or those one-word msgs which just go "yes" or "dunno".

   Sometimes i wonder why i keep these messages. I guess one reason would be that i like looking through my inbox when i'm bored and finding these old nearly forgotten messages. Another would be that i'm too lazy. I perfer the former. lol. But i mean, once you delete the message, you'll never see it again. There's no record of it ever being received on your mobile phone and sometimes i just feel that it's a waste to let delete these messages just like that.

   So, i'm gonna collect and make a record of memorable msgs here. just in case, u know (:

   this is what happens when i don't want to do my essay.

 

 

            

            

And last but not least.. the photo that surprised even myself.

as my friend en li would say.. LOLLERCOPTERRR... haha i never knew i could take emo camwhore shots. but yeay >_<

   See i really wanted to go to the library today. okay maybe not "reeally wanted to go" la but i had to go to borrow a book for one of my essays. then i checked online to see if the library had that book but all the copies were all out.

   It's a sign i tell you. A sign that i shouldn't go to the library. So now i'm at home once again slaving away at my essay(s). well i wish i was slaving away la. more like working for half an hour and taking long ass breaks. haha. Sooo not good.

   how now brown cow. i need my laptop to do work but my laptop is also distracting me :S i dunno how i managed to do it during christmas holidays lor. aarghh no time!!!!    

   i saw this at my friend's place and i thought it was quite funny so decided to share it with you guys.. haha. enjoy!

   arrghh my stupid C drive is annoying the hell outta me!!! I have no idea why i only have like an average of 150mb of space left on it even though i haven't installed anything new on it!! I tried going online to look for solutions and i thought hey maybe it's because of some stupid system retore/shadow copy thingy these other ppl seem to be talking about so i tried their solutions. But it didn't work!! arghhhhh!!

   So friggin annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   It's been a week since my 21st bday... nothing's changed much.. except for the fact that i'm legally an adult now and can vote now in the elections in M'sia. haha. and i can also legally get married but first must find candidate la. hahahaha.

   Anyway.. surprisingly, i had a pretty eventful bday. On the 16th, we had a Post Mnight Syndrome (PMS) social in Lib1 so i got to see a lot of the Mnight cast/crew again. Didn't eat much which was a waste coz it was Gogo's and pizza but i guess in retrospect it was good that i didn't eat so much. lol. Had fun chillin out and looking at some really REALLY awesome photos of Mnight which my friend Nic too with his super chunted SLR camera. the photos looked so professional they made our Mnight look so professional haha. But anyway, after the crowd thinned out, a bunch of my friends came in with a bday cake at around 10pm. Awwwwwwww.. but i was being bitchy laa haha coz i looked at my watch and purposely said aloud "Eh, whose bday??" Then En Li was like "Yours la you idiot!!!" So it was like kinda an early celebration but it was sweet of them la :) They got me a Black Forest cake, one of those cards with music, a box of chocolates from Thornton's (which btw is still sitting on my shelf untouched) and a Dumbo plushie! >_< 

   And.... for the first time in my life.. i actually got cake smashed into my face. I think ppl have attempted that previously but the worst that i've ever gotten is a bit of cream in my face. But shit man.. stupid Jon Siao.. he seriously smashed the cake into my face!! argh i can't believe i fell for it. Coz Joanna who was cutting the cake went "okay who wants to feed the bday girl?" and Jon stood up straight away smiling sneakily. Initially i thought "oh shit laa i dont' want cake on my face wehhh" and for a while i thought Jon wouldn't do it coz i reluctantly took a bite of the cake from his hand and he didn't do anything so i let my guard down. The next thing i knew i had cake face -_-' ishhh. and zomg cream got into my hair!!! -_-''

   Anyway after 12am my hsemates knocked on my bedroom door with a cake (toffee caramel cake from Thornton's. sooo sinful but so good) lol so nice of them.. and Lucie had secretly made sushi for me! And she also made me my first lunch in my new bento box! awww :) chilled out for a while in the kitchen/living room with them and then retired to my bedroom. Oooh ooh and i finally could open the package which i got a few days before from Auntie jackie and ray from Ilkley! They got me a digital photo frame! so kewl!!! >_< must rmb to call them up and thank them this week..

   On my bday everything was pretty much normal.. my friend Jimmy bought me a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts which was being sold for charity after Connie hinted a bit too loudly that it was my bday when he walked pass us in the library. lol. damn cute. but it was so nice of him laa. haha. At night had an impromptu dinner at Old Clarence (the pub near my place) and then Connie and Azimah surprised me with chocolate cake they got from Tesco! Wendy was in cohorts with them coz i was telling Wendy a few days back how i was craving for chocolate cake loll. And while we were having dinner, this old English man who was having dinner with his family came over and asked whose bday it was.. I said that it was mine and he shook my hand and said that it was his bday too. loll so coincidental. I went over and gave him a slice of my choc cake. He was such a sweet gentleman, kissed my hand and all. loll.  

   All in all i had a great bday. I got lots of presents from unexpected ppl and lotsa cards as well.. Thanks guys for everything! :) oh and erm to the "jizz gang" (not that they would ever read this post i guess) u guys suck laa. But thank you for taking time out to make THAT vid and all. haha. I don't think i'll ever forget the song.. and i'm pretty sure none of you guys will let me forget it either. haha.    

-haha i just noticed that i left the knife in the cake lol-

-me n my Dumbo!-

-my (pre)bday surprise lol. erm pls ignore the ppl with strange expressions on their faces.. inside joke.-

-zomg i just noticed that BOTH jons were in it!!! argh jon ng and jon siao u guys suck!!! but jon siao sucks more coz he smashed it in my face-

-sushi which lucie made for me! :) haha i ate most of it coz i was like "zomg sushi!!" lol

-isn't the bento damn kawaii??!!! <3 -

-me n some of my homies at Old clarence. Por hai was taking the photo so he's not in but gets the honourable mention. haha.-

   This time last week i was backstage at the Belgrade Theatre feeling nervous and anxious. I was running around in my "mom" outfit making sure everything was more or less in place. Going back and forth between backstage and the Patrick Suite on the 5th floor where the dikir barat ppl were.

   This time last week was the University of Warwick's Malaysia Night.

   I can't believe it's been a week. I can't believe it's over. I'm still surviving on the high of Mnight now. Man i really miss the whole package; the excitement, the stress, the friends you meet. Well okay maybe not the stress but it wouldn't be Mnight without the stress. lol. I'm so happy it was SOOO good. And i'm also very happy ppl found new friends along the process. I now remember why I ran for a post in MSA. One of the regrets i have is that i didn't get to take much photos on Mnight itself coz i was so busy getting things done. Sigh. I didn't take much photos last year either. Sighh. Ah well.. 3rd year la i guess. lol

   Anyway thank god for reading week. Was supposed to catch up on sleep but i think i ended up playing around more now that i had free time on my hands. Went shopping with my friend and bought a new pair of jeans and 2 new shirts. yay :) went for a post Mnight cast + crew gathering at my friend's kitchen in Lakeside and then stayed over at another friend's place on campus and watched this Thai horror movie till 5am. Then next morn went to town again to the police station with d same friend coz her super expensive Miu Miu wallet was stolen. Then went to eat at Noodle Bar and then went to Primark. Then came home and showered then went back out for another slumber party where we watched Ringu. Then next day went to London and fell sick :( came back to campus and half-slept through Nightmare on Elm Street which some of them were watching in Lib1.

   Anyway, here are some photos for u to enjoy :)

- us singing Here In My Home after the play ended on Mnight.. gawd my voice was so croaky.. damn paiseh -

-L-R: asha, james, foster dad, adam, foster mom. wahlau i look damn pro in this scene right??!! >__< -

omg our unofficial 2nd poster for Malaysia Night 2009: Home >_< i love how steph (who plays Adam's biological mom) has the "should i really be in this photo" look although i'm not sure if it was intentional or unintentional.. lol

Pi made me do this pose. i think i need to take posing lessons from him. i suck at posing. lol

mr. director/jon n me. i look nice in this photo hence why i put it up. mwahaha. sorry la, i don't say these kind of things that often okay so just put up with it!
