At last I
comprehende Winnie's weird fettish for 'Lord Darcy', played by Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice.
I'm currently watching
Emma, and yes, I can hear the groanings of the Lit S-Paper student. *snigger*. 'Mr Knightly' is just wayyyyyyy hot. Ha! His character is quite charming. He's played by Jeremy Knightly, and oh gawd, that man is at least 40.
*faints dead away*

Ear Candy: Jars of Clay- Love Song for a Saviour
guddd.. Singapore is realllllly puny. 'The Red Dot in the East". How aptly put. U can just imagine how small SG is, compared to Gigahumongus countries like Aussie, England, Europe, and even Msia. The main point of my weird ramblings? Singapore = small = boring. Maybe its the places that teenagers hang out in Singapore, all the time which makes it boring. Places like Orchard (yawnzzz). I rather not go to town, and stay at hm, decomposing away in my bed. Yes, the glitter of Orchard shopping is really getting Boring.. *echos*. I need to do more interesting stuff in SG. How I want more flea markets and carnivals from the Underground Movement. U can check the webbie out @
www.undergrdmovement.com (though I must warn you, there is nth much). Y can't SG have more of these carnivals? I get jealous everytime I go to Winnie's blog and see the places she hangs out in Sydney. All those cool music festivals, plus. Glebe Market etc. Ugh. Jealoussss...
Things I can do:
- Visit Holland V (I'm getting desperate. Plus I'm pretty sure they've revamped the place)
- drop by at Chinatown (I did say I was desperate)
- Organise a picnic at Botanical Gardens (1st I must get ppl to go with me la)
- Go to Tioman and let my hair down..
- Study for Mid Years, Prelims and As (slap me plssss)
PLS SINGAPORE.. MORE CARNIVALSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I LOVE YOU LIVERPOOL. . I LOVE YOU LIVERPOOL. . I LOVE YOU LIVERPOOL
ha! Yes ppl. I'm gloating, cheering, dancing and prancing. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Liverpool totally rawks my sox off ma feet! And it is at this moment, that I remembered, why I love liverpool. Truth to be told, I've been neglecting soccer, giving it up for shopping and studying. Feeling dang guilty for not watching the matches. Partially also because I was sick and tired of their erratic performance, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. No sireeee.. But I watched that match this morning. And I remembered.
Sure, I was pretty pissed off and dejected during the 1st half after the 3rd goal.
What the hell??!! Don't tell me I gave up my fuggen sleep to watch this crap. I was telling myself that. I even contemplated switching off the damn tv. I was persuaded to watch the 2nd half, and I did not regret it. That's cos I witnessed a miracle. Can u believe it? The agnostic me was begging and pleading with God. I saw Stevie G's goal, and was jumping with joy. Hope was rekindled in my withered heart.
Just 3 more goals pool. Is that possible? And then, Smicer had to score. Wooo.. Well done Smicer. The last game for LFC, and he scored... twice. I couldn't breathe. i couldn't believe my luck. Were my prayers finally answered by the almighty power above?
2 more goals. I was restless on the sofa. Squiriming.. FOUL! PENALTY.
OH MY GAWDDDD!!!! I kneeled infront of my tv, 5cm away from the screen, clawing on Alonso's face.
Please God. Please God. Please God. Alonso kicked. The ball was deflected.
Oh no!!!! Wait a minute...... GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! Miracle, unbelieveable. 3 goals in 6mins (soccer fans, yes, I know u are prolly sick and tired of hearing this phrase.) I remembered, during the half time, I was wondering if Liverpool was able to win.
Not bloody likely.. My mind rationalized. Then I recalled the Basil match. If Liverpool could do it then, they can do it again. That propelled me to stay tuned for another 45mins. At the end of the second half, I went to bed. I didn't care if Liverpool won or lose, because, I thought them champions already for that spectacular comeback. Told my friend, "It would be good to smile 1st thing in the morning...." And boy.. I didn't stop smiling..
Yes Liverpool. I'm a fan. A fan who has been neglecting the team. But still. I do love liverpool. I may not know what's happening anymore, but.. hell.. I still do support them.
Dudek! I take back all the mean stuff I said about you!!!
This feeling is gooooooooooooooood. Better than winning the Carling Cup. And that's saying something..
I LOVE YOU LIVERPOOL!!
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
you'll nv walk alone liverpool.. We've got the best/loudest fans..

ear candy: the sound of my air con
Just watched "A Beautiful Mind", and I must say, it is a good movie (except that my mom would disagree vehemently, and insist that it is boring.. hmmmm). It's really bittersweet to see that 'John Nesh' is so brilliant yet not in full control of his mind. And I really do love the scene(s) where he writes on the window paint. The ability to see patterns is so stunning (something which I can nv excel in because I gave up maths).
I was telling my mom that I wished that I could have been so brilliant. And she told me that she thinks that I am intelligent, just that my laziness does not allow me to reach my full potential, I am short by 30%. Geee. thanx mom. It's good to know that she THINKS that I am intelligent, although I must disagree with her.
I watched star wars. Woooo.. Hayden Christianson is HOT. Not that I just noticed la. But he was really just so... scrawny/ boyish in espisode 2. ha! He looks wayyyyy better in episode 3. Woooo.. I wanna watch the movie again!!! I am dying to see more lightsaber actions. Ha. I mean. COOL man! Special effects rawks. Other than star wars, I have this urge to watck Kingdom of Heaven again. Especially after I know the history of it. Hmmmm.. Maybe I'll understand it more..
I've been watching loads of shows recently. Including Alexander. Not bad la, just a lil too bloody for my taste. Ha. But, I find the history of it stunning. That's y I take history. Especially when I am doing WW1 now. Kinda puts things in perspective (yes yes.. Alexander is in BC while WW1 is in 1914. Ha! Dun ask me what's the connection). Wooooo!!!! (I am feeling quite high)..
sigh. I am uber broke now. That's cos my mom's bdae pressie cost me $369. *stabs myself*. She better appreciate it or else!!!! And ya, I am hoping that my stepdad dun leave me in such a lurch. Intend to make him chip in at least $200 of the pressie. Ughhhh.. Money money money..

Idealistic, you work for the greater good with a good deal of inner strength and charisma.

You are very aware and intuitive.
You are subject to a good deal of nervous tension

Comment and Appreciation *snigger.. loudly..*Ha! Scared u didn't I? Relax Lit-ers (Lit sudents la). What I meant to say by this very self-explanatory title is that I wished to talk about an 'extract'. Ha! It's just lyrics. Remember the one Mr Wee played for us during the feminism lecture? Yuppers.. That song. And ya Joyce (If u ever get to see this). I take back my words. The lyrics is NOT rude, just disturbing to people not used to the morbid. In fact, the more I listen to it, the more i like it. Ha. So, here goes...Charlene- Never Been To MeHey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I have no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to youOh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...Please lady please lady
don't just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million livesOh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
and it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that's truth that's lovesometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoreing
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...First things first, i chose red because I thought it was appropriate. I mean. Juz read the lyrics. And yes, being a blog reader myself, I know ppl seldom look at the lyrics. Shan't digress too much shall we. No doubt, the lyrics are really sad. She sounded so forlon and lost that i sympathize with her (the persona). Obviously, this song is quite a reality check although I don't think many of us would become such confused... person (harlots). But, as some of you know, one of my biggest dream is to actually travel everywhere. So in a way, I want to go to that paradise (minus the sexual connotations). And it's an irony that she's been to everywhere, but have never really 'been to me'. She seem to be running.. from herself? (Do tell me wad ya think). And in a way (Disclaimer: No i am not a sicko, nor am I perverse), her life is fascinating. Just thought to add some lines that i liked.
I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
Don't ya think that this stanza is so bitter sweet. And the imagery is simply fascinating. (maybe too much romance novels eh?) Yah, no doubt that she is promiscuous, and lost, and confused, and misunderstood. Do you think of The Handmaids Tale when you read the lyrics? (ha! Don't ask me. I haven't finish the book).
All in all, I do like it. It's like sooooooooooooo sad. (Okay, I know I sound quite bimbotic here. *embarassed hackles*)
Maybe I just like this kinda songs in general. The self confessing rebel kind. That's y I like Meredith Brook's 'Bitch' too.

The Passionate Shepherd to His LoveCome live with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Or woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies;
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair-linèd slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold.
A belt of straw and ivy-buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.
The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my Love.-Christopher Marlowe. 1564–93- Gawd. But I do love this poem. It's so romantic and sweet. Whatever. Call me a dreamer, I don't care. Lit students of MJC may already be familiar to this poem, but I wanted to share it with the un-informed people. It's nice. Really. Just read it.you'll nv walk alone

Ear Candy: Shake Those Windows By the Athelete
The Value Of Money
Man, you guys really are looking at the biggest spendthrift/shopaholic in your life. I'm positively cringing over how much I spend yesterday. It was simple.. Really. I saved up for 2 items. A perfume and a *ahem* 'girl's thing'. I calculayed. So, it'll prolly cost me about $150 + -. Paragon Metro had a sale, so I bought both my item at about $147, and at least I get a credit voucher.
What I bought (Yes, I ought to be shot)
- 'Girl's thing' - $79, with a credit voucher of approx $15
- JLo's Miami Glow (perfume), 50ml -$64, up $80
- the alternative album- $9.95
- chocolates from 'Chocz'- $10
- A Loving Scoundrel by Johanna Lindsey -$16.80
- Sakae Sushi dinner- $37
Adding it up, it is $216.75. That is $66.75 more than my allocated budget. That's it! I'm keeping my atm card at home. Can someone please teach me the value of money? The way I am spending is scary (not that I am not satisfied with my purchases).
you'll nv spend alone..
