i spent two hrs plus plus aligning the photo captions with the photos on blogger only to find that if i view in on IE it goes all screwy again. D:
so yeah. i can only see it in firefox :/
i hate blogger.
I HATE MAC.
i know the latter has no relevance. but yeah. it's a fact.
Y5:16 PM
Friday. Was. AWESOME.
Started with waking up to Denise's call haha. Then i went back to St Nicks to wish the teachers HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY and catch
up with old friends (:
That was one heck of an emotional morning. Seeing everyone still the same made me feel like i was in 4D again :D
DILLYS with PRABS! (:
April MS LEE Becca and Me
Me SHERWOOD D
Oh me and elaine hunted mrs sherwood down..what was hilarious was:
Me: MRS SHERWOOD! MRS SHERWOOD! CAN YOU SAY "DIE DIE MUST KNOW!" AGAIN! PLEASEE!
Sherwood: die die must know. o.O?
Elaine and I: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMG! OMGG!! AHHHHHHH!
And we were screaming/fanning ourselves/ placing our hand against our chest/ like we were about to faint. haha!
MR GAN! note that i'm wearing my "Mr Gan" shirt!
Me MS CHOO D and C
Elaine Me MRS TAN and D
We even met our Pri sch teacher MDM LIM! haha. she taught me and D in primary six.
And a few other random classmates:
Miss all them babes so badly. ): They made my day 10 times over.
hahaha! check out the specs i'm wearing.. they're elaine's!
After the morning in SN, and queuing in vain for orange bowl (cause it sold out when we were just two ppl away from the counter), we went for lunch at Pizza Hut! I'll upload pics later cause blogger is being annoying and won't let me upload any more photos. ): so later!
Y1:31 PM
Sooo....
After SN we bounced to PIZZA HUT!! yay. :D
Cam whoring before the food arrives.
Carolyn and April
And after the food arrived
i think we got a bit high on the pepsi..
PHOTO OF THE DAY! XD
ABCDE + Celeste + Elaine! :D
After a couple hours of much
-missed conversation and a very satisfying meal. we decided... IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH! haha. so we went shopping in town! :D and i bought a starry scarf and I WILL SAVE UP FOR THAT UBER CUTE MONSTER BAG! I WILL I WILL I WILL!
aaaaaand... as if a morning of hugging and screaming and cam whoring, and an afternoon of shopping and lunching wasn't enough...
I WENT FOR BAYBEATS with stacey, elaine, vanessa, pauline, and rachel! and mannnn it ROCKED. made me wna have my own band and rock out at esplanade too.
please forgive the lousy photo quality, i only had my lousy phone to rely on and we were riddiculously far from the stage. ): and zooming made the pictures so blur the lead singer looked like he had two heads.
PEEPSHOW at the Nokia Arena!!
Check out the uber cool guitarists! :DD
The lead guitarist is on the left. He did an awesome solo later on.
the three guitarists!
FORCE VOMIT at the Nokia Powerhouse
Can't see anything?
Neither could I.
And FINALLY.. after force vomit were done singing "don't give up, siti, don't give up." (or that's what i thought they were singing), TYPECAST CAME ON!!!!! the best band in this year's line up in my opinion. you should have seen/heard them. head-banging-chest-thumping-makes-you-go-crazy AWESOME.
and then horror of all horrors.. my phone HAD to die on me at such an unappropriate moment. RARR! this was the last photo it managed to snap:
so i have NO typecast photos )):
They're with Elaine.
What was MORE disappointing was. We had to leave after the first song if we wanted to catch the last train home ):
AND THEY WERE PLAYING WILL YOU EVER LEARN WHEN WE WERE WALING OFF ):
go check that song out. it's really good.
Anyway, it's been REALLY FANTABULOUS (in the words of Prabs haha). I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to all those who appeared in SN today! Take Care. Hope to see you guys soon! LOVE!

Okay, this is not something a band-aid can cover.
It's deep.
It bleeds.
but above all it hurts.
Some days it gets better, some days worse.
It can get so bad that even Patrick Dempsey in Grey's can't fix it.
But still.
We deal with it right?
We pick ourselves up, get over it and move on.
No matter how difficult.
No matter how painful.
And like every other wound,
we give it time to heal.
And hope.
REALLY hard.
That in time... it will.
To Sam: We can do it (: Even if it takes another three years. We will do it.

hmm... ok we both know i'm just trying to avoid medsoc. bleaurgh. add procrastinated something for a week to the list.
Y3:27 PM
death cab played yesterday!
and no i did not go for it. ):
Singfest came and went and i didn't go for that either.
That means Panic At The Disco came and went.
One Republic came and went.
Simple Plan came and went.
Lostprophets came and went.
Alicia Keys came and went!
JASON MRAZ CAME AND WENT! )):
curse my busy schedule and perpetually empty wallet. :/
So now i'm gna have to settle for baybeats. where indie/emo/punk groups from the region(mostly) and a few others from the other side of the globe are coming to our tiny little dot.
Kay, lets be honest. the music and vocal quality is unfortunately no where near Singfest standard. However, the good news is it's TFOC. yeppp. Totally Free Of Charge. Unless you buy a bottle of coke or smtg to enjoy while your there.
The (pretty-impressive-though-not-as-impressive-as-last-year's-in-my-opinion) lineup this year includes Typecast (Phi), Jebediah(Aus), Caracal(not sure), and of course familiar voices of Electrico, Peep Show and the other 9 local bands there. Haha. To be frank, I have no idea who the hell are half of the artistes on the artiste list.. but some sound really cool on the website.. no harm in gng to hear them play anyways. Anyone care to join me? (:
Hmm.. apparently, there are no bands from the states this year. (There was last year! Cobra Starship!) So if Cobra Starship came down last year for Singfest, an indie/emo/punk concert thingo, THERE IS NO REASON WHY DISHWALLA CANNOT COME DOWN TOO! ): Srsly srsly srsly hope they come to s'pore some day soon.
ok i should really get started on medsoc now. D:
Y1:55 PM
Monday, August 11, 2008
ok. it's been awhile.
update! update!
filming's overrr! editing tmr (:
haha filming was.. hmm hilarious. and uber tiring.
can i say I HATE MY JOB. BEING PRODUCER SUCKS.
i never EVER wna hear or say the words timecode out again.
Picture of the that day:
cause the wind was wayy strong and making noisy swoosh sounds that drowned out our dialogue. so our lifesaving (twice) actress(iforgothername :x) lent us her hat to cover the mike! hahaha. retarded but effective.
by the end of the day we were stoned crazy and really hungry. haha finished the entire container of prawn crackers! wrapped up at flippin 11 pm. and dragged our asses and the equipment home! i caught the bus to jalan kayu but was left stranded there cause the last 86 has left ):
so called dad and asked him out for prata haha. then went home happy and satisfied ((:
6 Aug 2008- one of the best days of my life :D
MARKETING IS SO OVER.
i hope i never have to touch that damn textbook again.
haha jasmine and marinne caught me stoning before the test started. they had to call my name like thrice to wake me up. too bad after the test started there was no one to do that. so i stoned half the time away. before i knew it i was one of the last few left there with renon infront. so quickly just wrote crap to finish the paper cause i didn't want to be the last one in the room with cynthia and clement. ( i just realised both their names start with C)
so when i was abt to hand up i realised renon was the only other person in the room. thought he prob didn't left in the room with the creepy lecturers (who would?) so i stayed til he finish. cynthia kept staring at me and asked me if i was ready to hand in haha.
when we left the lt his class was freakin clapping. hahaha.
after mktg didn't wna go home so rach renon josh and i went to town and basically stoned at wheelock. yep. how loserish can we get huh. haha.
funny thing is i felt WAY more relaxed after mktg than after final presentation.
from then til now it's been wake up late. eat. movies. sleep. eat. go out. eat. sleep. eat.
watched wall-e pathology andddd....
I WATCHED DARK KNIGHT TODAY WITH B!
AWESOME stuff.
omg. can't get the image of joker coming out of gotham hosp in the nurse outfit. hotness. hahaha damn funny too.
haha suppose to watch the 350 show at AMK HUB but tickets were sold out.
so we tried calling other places but couldn't get thru.
then B called her friend at the cathay to buy ticks while we trained down
we were at tp when he said ticks there sold out too.
so we got off went to fair price to see if there's any 6 pm show
turns out there's one at AMK HUB!!!
and so we trained back and bought the damn tickets.
but we had pretty decent seats though.
before movie had sumo dinner and had lots of catching up.
missed that girl and 4D soo much!
reminisced abt mr gan ms prabs ms choo 4D then jumped to abcde and some other 4D peeps, then how we smuggled a carton of apple aloevera into eng wah jubilee, then back to prabs and immortalization, yeah and so on and so forth....
mannn. had a great time today (: thanks B. abcde reunion soon. promise.
ohh haha random funny thought:
was telling becca about how i was waiting for vj's email.. and she was like:
B: huh? why u waiting for my sch email you?
E: hahahaha. my teacher's name is vijay. not vjc.
B:lol
E: WAIT. omg his name is vijay chandran. so he IS VJC! hahahaha!
ok i can't believe i've typed so much. ciao.
Y11:23 PM
Tuesday, August 05, 2008
ok. the past week was hell. rushing for final presentation. screwing up. filming through out the weekends and now attempting (note the choice of words) to study marketing. so. for the benefit of whoever is actually reading this i shall not elaborate.
i guess the stress kinda got to my mind. didn't really noe what i was typing, just felt like had to get it off my chest. and after i did. it felt much better.
for those who have no idea what i'm talking about. good. for those who do. ignore it.
anyways, what better way is there to study marketing and have guitar hero sitting beside me distracting me every 3 scentences.
yeah, i accidentally (ok not accidentally, i googled it. but wadvr.) found an online version of it, and put it up on this blog. (scroll down and check it out!) so now i'm stuck playing it every few minutes. D:
i swear it's addictive. ever since i played joshua's guitar hero game i've been hooked.
thanks josh. =.=
OKAY. ERICA SHALL BE DISTRACTED NO LONGER AND GO START CRAMMING MARKETING! NOW!
or maybe after one more game (:
