a little in betweens.

alrighty boys and girls, lovers and haters.
as promised,
photos of the daughtry boys are in!

brian craddock, rhythm guitarist.

drummer, joey barnes
my fave!! bass guitar, josh paul! ;)

last but not least, lead guitarist, josh steely.

so far this week,
it's been pretty much cool and things are falling into place.
but one thing's for sure,
i am friggin' stressed.
especially after the talk with april, our other lecturer..
she seemed to have knocked some sense into me and have sorta woken me up from my idea.
i think the way she is worried about my speed of my progress is worrying me as well.
but it's a good thing right?
at least she cares..
week two and i get this is better than getting it on week seven.

and in eleanor's words,
i, too, feel like i'm in week seven already!
haha.

whatever it is,
as long as i can make myself be focused on stuff that i should be on,
i should do fine.

wish me luckk.

anyhoo,
singfest is sold out.
o m g , right?
i cant believe this.
when they were having troubles selling tickets last year,
they are sold out this year.
i'm happy for them, seriouslyy.
which means, singfest 2009 is looking good!
HAHA!!

some news are popping around manfred, joyce and i.
we are VERY excited about it.
i dont think we can breathe much word about it.
heh heh.

okayy, time for breakfast and shower.
then off to school.
i am actually excited to go to school.

a brand new day holds a brand new experience..

these four walls.

this is my seventieth post on this blogg.

i have a mixture of three different kinds of feelings now.
it feels weird.
very weird to be specific.

it's week two of school.
nothing amazing.
just more things to be pissed off at.
more people to be unhappy with.
oh well..
let's just say it's just me.
maybe rischka as well.
but hey,
i think it's the stress that i am experiencing.
somehow,
i feel lost.
somehow,
i feel lonely being in a room full of at least twenty other people.
weird, weird me.

so i hoped everyone's weekend have been amazing.
mine wasnt an exactly fantastic one,
that's for sure.

details will be left hush hush..
yes, the usual, typically me.

all i got to say is that i think i've been a little fool to myself and a joke to him.
two weeks of being a joke to somone is just a joke to myself now that i am looking back.

and i guess 'good things in life are (indeed) hard to findd..'

alright alright..
i'll stop.
i dont wanna go on sounding emo..

speaking of those lines i quote..
daughtry was in town last night for some sony ericsson party at armenian street,
which i have to have to stress that it was mind blowingly fandamntastic!
he rocked the street down with his very very cute looking band and all the ten songs he delivered.
er.. yes manfred actually counted the number of sings he did.
but whatever it is,
all thanks to apparently josh (steely) and/or their tour manager for hooking up passes to the show.
technically, we didnt get the actualy passes.
we were just being led into the venue by daughtry's manager and then into the awesome crowd.
sometimes, we need to open our mouths and complain.
and sometimes,
being a bitch is not that a bad thing.
heh heh.

whatever it is..
in case you're hoping to see photos of me with chris daughtry,
please give up that hope.
cause there wont be any.
he is always in a rush which suck.
but thing is, i managed him to sign on my almost a year old album sleeve.
that's not too bad right..

but photos with the rest of the band will be up shortly..
please give me some time to resize and post them here.

till then..
please countdown with me..
10 days to my twentieth twenTEEN!

okayy,
i feel so much better now.

oh and to help myself,
no mariah for a gooood while and miley cyrus and daughtry shall stand in for her..
rock is back!!

and, thank you blogger for being here 24/7 for me to post my emotions..

cause life's like this.

so it's back to school.
week one.
i wouldnt exactly say i loved it.
neither would i say i hate it.
pros and cons.
you know..

proposals, assignments, readings, blah blah blah are on my hands now.
damn,
it's only week one.

but hey,
i aint complaining.
third year y'all!
things start to get a little busy here and there..
but i guess it'll be fine once everyone get used to the tempo.
heh heh.

birthday surprise on tuesday over at the far east at simei/tanah merah was awesome!
the whole lot of us,
namely eleanor, gracia, tiffanyTAY, dasimah, amalina, shihan, pris and myself headed for serena's place to give her a 19th holla!
she was so surprised, she burst into tears!
haha..
i love making people cry (in a good way, that is..)

head over to eleanor's page for pictures..

oh,
and as the title suggests..
life..
oh god.
it makes me go 'sighhhh' and 'arghhhh'..
i dont even know where to start.

let's just say everything will be alright?
let's hope so.

boys like girls popping by late august and avril in early september..
a goooooood second half of the year..

busy busy week ahead.
wish me luckk..

happy weekend, y'all!

happyy. :D

okayy, i just realised so much has happened and it felt like forever since i last chatted with manfred.
though the last time we met was saturday!
HAHA!
i know rightt..
just one of those weeks.

anyhoo, the weekend was awesome.
zouk-ed and play-ed.
which was really, really awesome.
though music literally sucked,
the crowd and the people were really nice.

in other news,
met denise (keller) on saturday at the mtv asia awards roadshow at wisma,
which by the way was really bad.
the crowd was pathetic and everything else werent that great as well.
come to think of it,
which singaporean will head up to genting for the awards when singfest so far,
is looking really attractive, right?
look at jason mraz,
and you know it's worth to go!
haha.
so the pussycat dolls have just been added to the line-up.
manfred and i are quite excited about it.
but we are still looking for sponsors..
hahaha.
bands, labels or tour managers,
be very nice and hook us up with some nice free passes okayy?

speaking of which,
i just collected my rihanna good girl gone bad reloaded cd!
heh heh.
thanks to the people of trevvy for giving me a copy.
you guys should go grab it.
the deluxe limited edition comes with a dvd with a documentary and four live performances from the live dvd!
ohh and by the wayy,
you guys should offer the dvd as well.
i'd gladly accept it and watch it until it corrupt then i will complain to universal music!
HAHAHAHAHA!!

just kidding..

three more days at work and i will wave goodbye to ryan, salleha, rahimah, michelle, jeremiah, marina, meefong, esther, yeeling, marilyn, chris, shirley and sandra and those unmentionedd in income.
it's kinda sad to leave work but i'm glad everything came to me as such a blessing.
i've learnt so much with the people around there and made some really nice friends.
people who trust and care.
people who regard me as the manager of their emotions.
how flatteringg.
heh heh.
we'll be snapping some photos over the next few dayss.
and i am excited.

anyhow,
i am loving my week so far.
looks like in the weeks to come,
it'll be even better..
wish me luck.
and please,
interprete it as you wishh.
third dinner tomorrow eveningg.
i'm excited about everythingg.
:P

so, in short,
i'm a happy boy!

my melody.

i dont know why but listening to mariah carey while working brings back lots of memories.
and it not neccesary have to be those happy ones,
unfortunately.

i am sooo hooked onto e=mc² and 'we belong together'.
of course, not forgetting the song that'd forever make me emo,
'love takes time'

on my way to work earlier today i realised that the lyrics to 'love takes time' does describe how i am feeling or rather how i was feeling or maybe how i've felt.
it's funny cause it's been close to a month since those happy times ended.
and i dont even think i have moved an inch away.
i've lied to myself.
obviously,
i'm still stuck on it.

jesse mccarney's 'just so you know' and kate voegele's 'wish you were'
arent helping much either.
but seriously,
i dont know why my intchy fingers never fail to go click on those emo-ish songs on my ipod.
in any case,
these songs make me feel happy and at the same time sad.
these songs are love.
they speak right from my heart and i sooo can relate to them no matter how many times i listen to them.

i still find it amazing that mariah has become such a big part of me since.
oh well..

i wanna be somebody's baby.
correction,
i wanna your baby.
you know who you are.

sighh.

ps. sorry bout the emo shit coming back around.
i cant help it.

bloody tiredd.

i am bloody tired.
my legs are aching.
and my eye bags are as big as those that are glued onto pandas' eyes.
yes, it's that bad.

whatever it is,
i'm glad the event today went well.
took leave to help sis out.

it's worth it.
thinking of the moneyyy..
haha.

okayy,
i need my bed now.

pssssst.. two days to PAY DAY!!
:D

eight more days, you.

eight more days to pay day.
argh.

two more weeks and my ass' back in nafa.
i am having mixed feelings.
i feel happy to see all the lovelys i havent gotten the chance to for the past couple of weeks and i am dreading it cause it's year three.
which means..
i'll be off to national service soon.

let's take one step at a time.
shant kill too many brain cells thinking of such unavoidable stuff.

anyways,
last weekend was awesome.
swimming, jacuzzi, chomp chomp, singapore flyer and fabulous flirt.

i get the feeling this weekend will be so much better.
heh heh.

and i realised i've been buying shorts.
manfred thinks shorts are gay.
i say they are comfy and hot.
HAHA!
and they make me happy.

tell y'all a secret.
manfred just got himself a pair of shorts too.
HAHA!

singapore flyer was fun.
it was fun.
though i was high up in the air,
view was awesome.
when the many other kids and adults were walking around in the capsule,
i decided to sit down most of the time before i faint.
i spent forty minutes of my time up there.
it was quite an experience.
quite fun.
if you have some extra cash to spare,
you should go and enjoy it.
haha.
manfred and i were listening to rihanna most of the time up there.

yes, the obsession continues..
been watching the concert once every night.
it's a feel good thing, you know?
HAHA!

i still cant wait for pay day.
i wanna get a big bag.
a backpack to be precise.
and i want two pairs of shoes.
i am greedy.
we'll see when the time comes.

back to good girl gone bad live for noww..
