Dear Mr Journal,

yesterday was a wednesday and i went out with a couple of my friends, Samuel and Darell... i noe their names sounds somewhat alike but they are not by anyway related...

supposedly, i was suppose to go out with another different couple of frens but somehow someone had a doctor's appointment on the exact day, so we had to postpone the outing YET AGAIN... anyway... to this people and one of them is a loyal visitor of my journal, i definitely look forward to next week's outing... but i wouldnt raise my hopes on it though... just in case... ;)

okok... back to wednesday's day... i woke up in the morning at almost 11am.. results was to be out dat day at 8.30am... but i couldnt care less... i was actually expecting them to have this sign up there at the results webpage " WE ARE SORRY, YOU HAVE FAILED ALL YOUR MODULES... except for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and CRS"... so didnt really anticipate the results coming out... so i checked it out... i went to the webby and logged in... and click the results page... to my disbelief, i saw something that brought me to tears and i tell you NOTHING brings me to tears that easily... why the tears?... because i saw this little yellow smiley at the top of the page and it says "YOU"VE PASSED"... "YEAH BABY... GOD DAMN IT, YOU PASSED YOU LITTLE LUCKY ASSHOLE"... the last part was not there of course... i was seriously in disbelief... i read thru that thing twice and checked out whether it was really my name... and i also relogin thrice to make sure i saw it correctly... and the results were all the same... its been ages since i had tears of joy... and darn it felt great...

then i couldnt sleep liao... so decided to call Samuel to remind him about our friday's outing... we are gonna go to Marine Parade Community Centre to give support to an old friend of us, Kim Leng aka Secretary of Media Resource Library... lol..he was also one of my closest fren in the library and he used to help me alot with the promotion and the publicity stuff that i had to dealt with in the library.. anyway.. he called me and asked me whether i wanted to go MPCC to watch a play... he's now in Temasek JC and currently has taken up a certain Drama Club thiny as his CCA... so i was like.. "cool".. then i said its fine with me since i had nothing on but with one condition, i didnt wanna go alone.. so i called samuel and he agreed to join me.. xie xie.. anyway... so i asked him wad role will he be playing in the play... and here is the catch... he's not acting, he'll be doing behind the scenes thingy... well.. interesting...hmph.. but nvm la.. so long havent seen him... so might as well jus go and support la.. anyway its jus 10 bucks to help local talents... so i hope that i will have a great time...

anyway... met samuel and darell(aun peng) at Plaza Singapura around 2++... i tell you ar plaza sing is like sooooooo boring... TO THE CORE... nothing to do there at all.. so we left for the rest of orchard... went heerens.. the annex still under renovation... so we walked to far east... but then raining so we had no choice but go lucky plaza lor... jus walk walk there... go watsons play with the hair products... samuel had seriously damaged hair but he couldnt give a damn about going for treatment... his excuse? he's going to NS this june and he's hair will be gone... enough said.. but still we needed something to help with that wispy dry damaged hair of his... see la.. this is wad happen when u go some ulu ulu place to color ur hair... dear ppl i have learnt this the hard way... i had damaged hair once and going for treatments monthly that cost $85 per visit isnt such an easy thing... so i've learnt to always condition ur hair and go for treatment every few months la.. to have lovely soft hair like mine, u have to work for it... anyway.. at watsons, we sprayed this magic water from lucido on his hair and whoopie doo, it was nice.. his hair doesnt look damage... interesting... made quite a difference to his hair with this little spray... hmm.. then they had some new loreal wax thingy and he used that too after receiving professional hair styling tips from ahem... me... lol.. so he happy happy... then we went far east cause the raining has ceased... very huungry la so went for dinner... at some food court at the top floors of far east.. its called rose restaurant or smthing... cheap food and very nice... had laksa with chicken and cockles... omg... it was heavenly so thick and creamy and spicy... ooo... imagine the number of calories i have to burn jus for eating that bowl of laksa... then we saw people ordering you tiao and darn it looks nice... first we ordered a $3 plate... then we eat... wah... so nice sia.. then like still want some more lei.. so we ordered another $5 plate and yeah that felt great... wah nice food and everything... happy happy yummy yummy.. lol.. then we fat ppl wet to walk walk.. wanted to do some light hearted shopping.. lol.. then after a while we decided to go take neoprints... yippie.. same machine again... and since got a slight queue we got enough time to come up with 8 different poses.. muahaha... so funny poses... then take liao... nice nice... i love that machine i tell you.. u cant see any of my pimples in the photo and i look fairer.. lol.. nice nice.. so then we all happy with the fotos... then like 8.30 liao so like that night got american idol so must go home early.. so we bid farewell and went our seperate ways... so thats it..

at night i was expecting to watch the battle of the divas on american idol... yeah.. so they had this recap thing on the past years of american idol and why it's such a phenomenon.. so then at 11 it started... they each had to sing three songs... two of their own choices and one called I BELIEVE written by Tamyra Gray, a season one third place finalist.. so diana performance were a bit tweaky... i like diana alot cause she has this major powerful vocals... but somehow yesterday night's perfomance was a bit off.. she looked tired or smthing... however, fantasia who i have been rooting for to win american idol gave a stunning performance... her first song wasnt too well liked.. but her performance of SUMMERTIME was exceptional and then the performance of her rendition of I BELIEVE was so gospal especially with the choir accompanying her... nice... my guess would be fantasia wins it.. but anything couldnt happen... america could be racist again... lol.. but may the best win la..

so i think dats it for this entry... this saturday at 6.30pm on Channel I got SPICEWORLD the movie... lol... i love the spice gurls, their songs la i mean.. but they also had this amazing characterisation among each other.. so it was very well packaged girl group... but donno why ppl started to dont like the spice gal... they had great songs and great hits.. but the movie was a bit off la.. but still nice to see if u were once a fan... lol.. so catch it kk.. lol.. anyway.. feel sleepy so maybe i ed my entry now... so till next time, sayonara...

oh yeah... btw... pics of yesterday outing will be out soon when i receive it from samuel.. but for now... i oni got one pic i took yesterday... cause my battery suddenly went flat.. so here my face yesterday..

Dear Mr Journal,

i've been thru trying times and somewad i am now recovering... however i think my insomnia is coming back again... i cant get to sleep today... i was tossing and turning in bed... yet my eyes were not sleepy... maybe i jus had too much sleep during the day that now at night i dont feel sleepy anymore... this is bad... i do not wan to be a nocturnal creature(no offence to anyone) but somehow sleeping late will affect ur health and create those nasty eye bags that i so wan to be gone... so maybe i'll try to increase activities in the day so that i'll be more tired and dire need of a good night's rest... and watching tv would not be considered an activity... and also i must refrain from sleeping like around 3-4am everyday...this is bad... my limit will be 12am... i'll try... yeah...

well... i went to joie de vivre yeterday... it was a meridian jc symphonic band's solo debut performance... i was there basically to support a few frens... sharif, joel, jun yang and eugene... these people were kinda my close cliques in secondary sch therefore its only rational that i go and give my fullest support to my frens who are performing... i went there with vineson(pronounce as vincent)... wei liat was suppose to join us but had urgent last minute plans... so nvm la...

so me and vineson met at city hall mrt at 6.30pm... concert was to start at 7.30pm at the Victoria Concert Hall so we decided to be early as we didnt want to rush there... so kool... i havent had my dinner though... and was feeling rather hungry but thought maybe can find an eatery along the way and i could probably grab something to munch along the way... but, unfortunately we passed by none... on the way to vch, i saw nadia... she was outside cafe cartel and my guess would be that she's working that night... i jus waved hi... then we continued walking and we somewad reach vch a tad bit early... hmm.. maybe around 45 mins early...

so we just sat at the entrance hoping to see any of our frens... called sharif... and he came out with jun yang... talked to them for a while and they had to make a move for preparations... it was a bit of a letdown to see sharif's hair styled the usual manner... we both went the extra mile to find a nice hairstylist to cut his hair a few days before that and it looked really great on him... something really refreshing to see.. and he too from wad i see was really happy with it... we even took neoprint on that day... lol.. will try to include it next time if i can find someone to scan the neoprints for me... anyway that day was a friday, also the day before some bollywood extravaganza thingy at the indoor stadium and thats when we saw one really famous bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachan... he's like the Sean Connery of Bollywood... so there was a huge crowd outside this hotel where he had an autograph signing session for his book... so really cool... i actually got to see a huge celebrity up close...

anyway... back to vch... after sharif and jun yang left... we stumped into joel and eugene... yippie... havent seen them for ages... felt good to see them again... exchanged a few words and they too had to rush for final preparations... then its like we still had 30 mins left... was feeling rather hungry and went to the cafeteria dwnstairs... the food was definitely overcharged but since they were like the only cafeteria in that building, they could afford to do that... so, bought myself a snickers bar that cost me 2bucks.. then the concert was about to beign so we went to get out seats... as the tickets were said to be sold out, a full house was expected, so better grab seats fast... so got our seats... the first piece played by the band was La Quintessenza by the famous Johan De Meji... i have to say that i am not quite a fan of Mr Johan's pieces and there are quite boring... and this piece was no exception... i would have to say that the opening piece didnt really set a good mood... however the rest of the pieces before the 2nd half were nice and quite ok...

then, it was interval... got to meet all of them at the overlycrowded ticket booth... so didnt really get to get a whole group photo... but at least got to see them okok la... they kinda received a lot of flowers from their other frens and joels received a nice gourd and even carrots.. lol... didnt got them anything cos like.. hello? i m paying to watch u ppl play here... i think that gratitude enough... lol... anyway... went back in... then they had these ensembles... it was kinda nice la... a bit funny for the different groups...

then they played a piece that i'd have to say was my favourite piece of the nite... Japanese Graffiti 5... it was very nice... quite up tempo and jazzy at parts... sounded a bit oddly malay at some tunes... lol... the rest of the songs were nice too like First Love and American Graffiti 12... but i prefered another version of American Graffiti... anyway... the second half of the concert was the better half... the conductress, Ms Sia was ok but a bit to consistent with her movement... so thats it la.. they only had one Encore performance...i was really hoping for Concerto De Amore... as it is my favourite band piece.... but they played something else.. so we left after the whole thing...

darn it, i missed FRIENDS... but at least i had a great day... hopefully we can get a gathering of everyone again one day... sounds delightful...

my results will be out tmr... kinda tensed up, but i noe i'll probably fail a few... cause i didnt really perform my best for this exam... so, will soo not look forward to studying for the sub papers... sigh... k la... people wish me luck kkz...

*here are some fotos for your viewing pleasure
