Hey! What's the big idea?

A gut feeling

2012-01-31T14:33:00.004+08:00

Someone needs to do something about this
Im going on a diet
NAO!!
(or maybe my hooker can try not to pull my already skin tight shirt up and my flank pull my thights down?)
jas saying-pun totally intended.

Preamble

2012-01-29T23:04:00.004+08:00

First game is done and dusted!!
WE DID IT!
Looking back at the past seven months, I would have never known that I would make it till last saturday to start the game for such an awesome club.
I think i really thrive on positive reinforcement and I only have my teamates to thank for their generous showers of positivity towards my direction
Praise me, pat me on my back, rub my shoulders, give me a touch, smile at me, talk to me.
Elixirs that keeps me going despite that bitch of a knee and lungs that gasp for air after a short sprint- making me sound like an ashmatic rhino on the field for the most parts of the game.

Although this is only the start, you know what they say.
A good start is half the job done!
(but then they also say it isn't over till it's over??)
okay, cynical self aside I can't wait till the next game!
I figured although the dress may not fit perfectly now, im sure i'll grow into it in time.
I shall not waste time moping and thinking about negative stuff
But In the meantime, i'll be on autopilot in school. (ugh!)

Best advice I've heard so far:
"Heros are not made overnight. Play fearlessly and play with your instinct. The rest will come with time."
Amen to that!

You have a calming effect over me.

Have you wanted something so much that you think about it all the time?
But when you finally get your hands on it, it is not what you thought it was?
Dismally, I think I may still need some time to fit into the dress of my dreams.
I need to shed some pounds, hem the length and alter the fit.
Ergo-Im not ready to wear the dress yet.

Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
- Douglas Adams

Dear left knee,
you and I are gonna have some serious issues if you do not stop giving up on me when i need you the most.
Just a few months and i'll fix you up i promise!
stay with me!

You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you!

Duh

The awkward moment when Wing is talking about some highly complex rugby move
and all i can picture in my head is my primeape friend.
It usually visits during new and unfamiliar drills- or when i am playing touch.
Other than that it just stays home.
But I am getting better though,
The monekey just shuffles on the spot now cause the cymbals are to heavy to be carrying out all the time, or so it says
Weakling.

On a side note,
is anyone watching switched at birth on Starworld?
Its really quite a nice show plus you get to learn how to sign along the way.
This song closed one of the episodes and i really like it.
Have a listen:)

Stranger I've known you for so long
I found you lost with a compass in the fog
Stranger you know me too much
Illusionary-self had not be touched, until you

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Stranger you've followed me so far
Until the roads converged, as did the stars
Stranger the moon looks blue tonight
Your photo framed, raw within my mind, but not tonight

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah

p.s: its saturday and im at home?! the stars must be aligned today!

Don't build your hopes to be let down

Every night she walks right in my dreams,
since i met her from the start.

MJ is the bee's knees.

or so you think

2012-01-13T22:05:00.002+08:00

I cant get my mind off you.
Everytime I'm not with you, i feel uneasy and sad
Everytime i walk away from you, i count down to the day when i see you again
You are like this cancer that is spreading through my body- malignant but my cells still scream for you.
Why do you have this power over me?
I'm consumed!
but i love it <3

Ballerina, you must have seen her, dancing in the sand

i wished it wasnt so wet everyday!
i love the cool temperature but not the wetness.

Dear apollo,

Dear Zeus,

Anyone following survivor here?
So, Brandon won immunity and stupidly decides to give him immunity away to Albert and he got stabbed in the back by his tribe mates and sent to redmption.

Like seriously dude?
Where do i even start.
What angers me is that before he carried his torch to be snuffed out by the host, his allie Coach told him that God willed it and that it was God's decision that he gets sent to redemption.
First of all,
You won immunity from the vote, keep it!
Just because you prayed about it and heard a voice telling you to give it up doesnt mean it is the best decision.
I actually think Brandon deserved the boot just cause he is so stupid and perhaps he didnt fulfil the outwitting part of the game.

I would consider survivor to be one of the most raw reality program that is on tv right now just because every action and emotion comes directly from the contestants and not scripted by the producers.
It is really amazing to see how people play the social game either by lying and cheating their way through or just being the nice person.
Either way, i really appreciate smart play and the players choose the hats they want to put on to inch a little closer to the million dollar prize.

Now, russel hantz is the devil and he stabs everyone in the back very cleverly and i love him for that because at least he is honest about being the bad guy.
Coach however, is playing this holy man crap that i really cannot stand right now.
Since he is an all star player the newer players put him on a pedastal and he automatically took over the reins of the tribe.
He talks about loyalty, courage, honesty and basically everything that is good in the world.
But this dude doesnt pratice what he preaches a single bit and what is worst!
He claims that God wills it!
Like if you wanna do something bad, man up and take responsibility of it.
How different is he from a suicide bomber who claims that he is killing people just because God wills it as well??
Just because you claim that the intention is not from you, so you dont have to feel bad?
This is so ridiculous i feel like gagging.
And just because i realised that Coach is a perfect example of what a lot of people are doing since the beginning of time.
Pushing the blame to God/or someone else just to take the heat off them.
AND, people actually buy that.
Crusaders, Twin tower attacks and so many more.
I think people should start realising that nobody in this universe controls their actions other than themselves.
So for every action you do, you've gotta think of the consequence that you and noone else will incur because newton's law of motion states that:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Its plain physics and not supernatural.
zzz

Anywaym, if Coach wins survivor, i might just find something else to watch after following this show more than a decade.
Seriously, if its one thing that i hate, it would be cowards like him.

ugh!
Humanity!
Lets all turn into orang utans instead.
They are so much kinder and less menacing.

I dunno if you noticed...

2011-12-19T15:18:00.004+08:00

but when people play touch rugby,
their passes become very gay. (gay in a good way because they look like they know what they are doing at least)
Its like you have to contort your arm in an odd fashion and cock the ball it a full circle before you make the pass.
right??
I'm just jealous.
please ignore me.

on another note, i think i talk too much when my bloodstream is filled with anything that ends with an -OH group in their formula.
But to my defence I usually make a lot of sense
"Rugby players need to have strong muscles and also strong livers as well"

Everybody..
say it with me.
touché!

Cottesloe, Perth.
Awesome view
Awesome rugby
Awesome company

Will you ever give me a reason to love you less??

I wished i had the answer to this problem.
I wished i can do something to fix it.
I wished i was good enough.
I wished i cared less.

i wished.
i wish.

holy macaroons!

2011-12-06T01:23:00.004+08:00

Yes,I have always believed in the existence aliens!
And this is why.

read this post again: Can i interest you in something?

and watch this:

2011-12-05T22:57:00.008+08:00

Its amazing how gossip always manage to bring a bunch of women together at the end of the day.
Although i had my reservations about bootcamp, I am really glad to say that i enjoyed every minute of it.
Yes, even the part when i was running around the carpark and my canter short were slicing my fat thighs like it was beef carpaccio.
Boy did that hurt!

Take-homes from the camp:

1. ALWAYS wear tights with rugby shorts or be prepared to walk like a duck post training.(or maybe just buy bigger shorts jacq! you are not as skinny as you think you are)

2. Likes and dislikes of my team mates. I feel like i know a bit more about them. Yu hui's favourite movie is "a walk to remember", Tao secretly wants to be a winger and Jas loves Bob Marley!(but then again who doesn't??? Its raggae maan!)

3. The international sign for Jacqueline is to flex your biceps.

4. Gina is a complete nutter inside and outside and i love her for that.(secretly, i wished i was like her too)

5. I like to run straight into a defender when you are carrying a ball. CHANGE!

6. I need to speak up more. (EVERYONE(every single one) TOLD ME THAT IN THEIR HAMBURGER SPEECH)

7. Apparently I have a very good temper and i deserve an award for that! YAY ME!

8. People who wants to be stuck on an island with me thinks that i can build a raft for them. Somehow being a canoeist to them is equivalent to knowing how to build a floating device. Hmmm????

9. Rad really likes to eat sausages.

10. Orange is not really Tao's colour

At the end of the day, I always come home only to realise that my love for rugby has mutiplied that much again.
Next up, Perth!
It only gets better.

on a side note:
this song is stuck in my head

no??!! im not bored!!

2011-11-25T02:07:00.009+08:00

Holy crap, You scared me!!!

Alright, come closer! Come on!

Can you keep a secret??

Okay i trust you.

better late than never

You know you are in trouble when you get a call from your teacher.

2011-11-22T14:53:00.008+08:00

working on a super awesome post/posts
hopefully it will see the light soon.
in the meantime,
here's a song that i really want you guys to hear
Astro from x factor with i'll be missing you

He is really talented and only like 12?
This is the kinda rap i like, not the "i'll take you to the candy shop to lick my lollipop" kinda crap you get from the radio
I know the words are said really fast, but the lyrics are kinda nice if you really listen to it
I dont know if anyone is following X factor US except for my sister and melati but everyone like that Drew girl.
I think she is so boring!!!
Every song she sings sounds the same.
Kinda like the Mccrerry from idol (who ended up winning :/)

I am rooting for Astro or Josh Krajic to win it all!!
They person that I am supporting always ends up getting second place.
Let's see how it plays out for this show.
Maybe America will get it right this time.

Edit:(25th nov 11)
OMG, OMG!
I found the lyrics to astro's remix of the song.
At first i thought he was rapping about his mamma, but i realised he was actually rapping about what hip hop has become today, by personifying hip hop as a lady!
what beautiful lyrics.
This is my exact sentiments about hip hop and r&b music right now!
this kid is some kind of magic.

This is dedicated to her;
The one and only girl, that’s known all over the world;
She 40 years old, but i still try to speak to her;
We talk all the time, and my heart beats through her;
She messed with the wrong dudes now she’s messed up;
Started doing drugs and showin the kids that stuff;
She rockin jewelry, and gettin ballistic, with pistols, whips, and materialistic;
Things, she changin slowly, but still id rather be with her than chill with my homies;
Put on my headphones and zone out, listen to my favorite rapper and she the one i think about;
She left the hood and went to the bright lights, and now her voice just don’t sound right;
I see that she havin a few issues, the truth is I miss you;

Every little step I take, I think about those good old days;
Every little move I make, I think about those good old days; time I pray I’ll be missing you;
Missing you and I want you to know, dang girl tell me where did you go;

I remember rappin duke, duh-ha, duh-ha, i never thought that one girl could bring me this far;
Every time i look at her doing her thing;
I remember how we met through the sugar hill gang;
She the only one that i could depend on;
It might sound a little weird, comin from a kid;
But she was here before i was born, but we fell in love as soon as i found out what love is;
I want to get her back to the old her, and stop letting the dances control her;
I want to take you back to the old days, where we connected by letting the records play;
But now it’s the opposite of that, put your dues in the air and just talkin crap;
But good news for anyone missin her like I do, your boy’s bringing hip hop back;

Every little step I take, I think about those good old days;
Every little move I make, I think about those good old days; time I pray I’ll be missing you;
Missing you and I want you to know, hip hop tell me where did you go;
stro!

He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

What kind of stupid name is Cochran anyway???
They say you embody your name. Cock.
Is any one keeping up with the latest season on survivor?
I am so angry that this ass called Cochran is still in the game while Ozzy and Keith are at redemption island cause they got backstabbed by him.

First of all picture a Cochran.
Yes.
He is exactly what you think he looks like.
Like this!

Basically, he has no business being on Survivor cause he is both physically and strategically unsound.

Cause he is a weak ass, his tribe saved him from getting voted off so many times!
When the merge came,his tribe actually has the advantage of the numbers agaisnt the other tribe until he flipped his voted and voted against his own tribe mate!!!
Since Ipolu has the numbers now, they will just continue voting out every Savaii member until they are all gone!
You cannot imagine my anger right now because underserving people like him do not deserve the spotlight

My take on this is that once the Ipolu tribe gets rid of every Savaii member, he will be the first one to go cause he is seriously useless
Stupid fella!
We''ll see how it plays out.

Ozzy better get redemption!!

Grab somebody sexy tell them HEY!

2011-11-10T15:18:00.009+08:00

PPGs decided to mambo last night and boy did we have a good time!
Anyway, we didnt spend a lot of time at mambo cause we concluded its kinda stupid.
It looks like deaf ppl miming a song out.
Basically, their hands are moving and their feet are rooted to the ground most of the time.
So we went to phuture next door which played R&B songs and we just danced the night away!
Sarah intro-ed me to this drink called Jägerbomb which is basically Jägermeister with redbull, nice and sweet!
Just in case anyone needs to know, Melati was a very good girl and drank only Shirley Temple and Redbull even though the devil tempted her with some vodka.
Your parents must be so proud of you.
Peektures!

okay, time to lay off the scene a little and hit the books one last time!
I think im on a blogging high lately!
Wanna tell you more about a little princess next time!
Toodles!

2011-11-08T15:47:00.004+08:00

Look who is inspired by Beyonce??
Im really not a fan of KPOP at all cause i do not understand a single thing they are singing about and sure as hell cant appreciate something if i cant understand it in the first place.
But what i can appreciate here is the dance and the the sporadic english parts they always have.
I remeber Melati the once KPOP fanatic told me that in every korean girl band song there is always:
1. the tacky dance moves
2. some unecessary english parts
3. the rap
these are basically the holy trinity in every korean girl band song which is kinda true if you listen to enough korean songs, you'll know.

Looking at the features of the korean girls, i really do not see a resemblance between the korean features and mine.
But i occasionally get asked if i was korean or something???
Im part sad, cause koreans are generally ugly without surgery so if i look like a korean I assume I would represent the majority of the population who hasnt had surgery which is = UGLY
Part happy cause at least i do not look typical singaporean.

Anyway, this song is kinda catchy and the video and dance is kinda fun so i guess its an exception.
Enjoy!

only in hollywood!

this is why i love hollywood

I shall use this analogy since I'm a teacher to be but like I said it's only an analogy so obviously it can be applied in other context.

Imagine a classroom.
You are a teacher and you have a class full of hardworking students working their ass off at a task you have assigned them.
Each student putting in their best effort and feeling good about themselves for a effort well given.
They may not be the best but they are sure trying their best cause if everyone were of the same standard an calibre we might as well be in Utopia.
There is diversity everywhere you go, be it colour, age, size or ability which I think people with their heads buried in the sand should maybe start to pull them out and acknowledge it- it's simply just a fact of life.
Anyway, I digress. Back to classroom.

So you are the teacher and you notice this boy in your class not doing the exact thing you have asked the class to do.
You told them to cut along the dotted lines and fill in the colour of the cut out. This boy who has not learnt to cut properly tries his best but has got some jagged edges here and there.
You see it and you do not scold him- good job on that.
However you direct your attention to the class and you start lecturing them.
"when you are given dotted lines, you jolly well cut along and not everywhere else on the page! How is it that you can cut straight?? Such a simple job!!"

The students who have done their best start to wonder what they have done wrong?
Why is it that when I am doing my best I still get a scolding?
Why is the teacher not helping my friends who cant cut straight by giving them some cues?
Does that mean that whenever one friend messes up my effort will not be counted?
Why should I put in anymore effort now?

I think the worst thing that a teacher (or anyone whom people look upon as a trasferrer of knowledge) can do is to scream and shout at her students even though they are putting in their best effort.
Let's switch shoes right now and take the positions of the students.
If I were one of them, I would drop my scissors immediately and stop the activity because I really cannot fantom why I have someone screaming at me.

One of the reason why I have stayed away from uniform groups is I that i dislike the regimental style of running things that is adopted by most of them.
You are nobody and I can make you do silly things just because I have an additional stripe on my badge.
I can punish and shout at you just because I can- if anyone asks I can just say I'm training your patience
In a blurry state of mind, i somehow find myself in that situation which I try so hard to stay away from which..... irks me.
I think the only appropriate PG 13 word i can find right now is irk- it irks me!!!
How do you expect your soldiers to die for you when you are there putting them down all the time?

Anyway, I believe you are your problems and you are also your solutions.
Rather than mopping in self pity i shall try to fix the problems.
I shall be my own solution
I shall persevere and press on.
Just like Roger Federer!
Congrats on winning your 5th Basel title after a drought period!
Depite what they say about you losing your magic, i still think you are the greatest tennis player of all time, OF ALL TIME!

fat bottom ladies

2011-11-02T22:09:00.005+08:00

i feel fat now that 7s season is over and im not running as much
need to lose some lbs!
i think its time
time to get one of those food diary thing that Tao is keeping
at the rate im stuffing my face, my thighs will catch fire when i am sprinting on the field.
thank god the rugby shorts are kinda fire resistant(i assume cause they are so god damn thick!)
okay im rambling away.
My life is kinda mundane right now. Can anyone do something to bring back some life and magic into in?

i just got bangs recently and i ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!
the thing is ive been getting compliments for the new haircut but i dont see it in the mirror.
I think i look so much better when my forehead is showing, so im trying all ways to "unbang" my hair. I know it sounds crude but it actually consists a few of the following methods:

1. Waxing my bangs to the side so it stays in an unaturally stiff side swept position
2. pinning my bangs up
3. braiding the bangs

So far, the wax is the most effective method cause i cant wear pins and clips during rugby. But like i said, it looks really unatural.
I really dont know.
Here are two pictures of me in the various hairstyles.
I still prefer the one with forehead.

when you give a hundred percent but you dont see a single cent

2011-10-26T10:43:00.002+08:00

i am trying my very best!
i really am!
feeling so stupid cause i just dont get it sometimes.

Complain much?

2011-08-23T14:52:00.004+08:00

Feeling bored on the train ride to school so I thought why not stir up some trouble?
Was browsing through FB when I saw this newspaper clipping cookouts with this comment "what is the use of getting a Hallal cert and having a promotion during the fasting month? Please explain."

This was when I thought to myself?
How extensive is racial integration in Singapore as we have claimed to be a multi racial country that prides herself on the success of different racial groups livid together harmoniously.
With the recent "cook a pot of curry" event that cause quite a significant commontion in the cyber world as well as in the actual community I have no qualms saying that racial issues are being placed under a bigger spotlight as the younger generation gains a sudden interest in political and societal issues after the geneal elections.

My point is, are things as bad as it is made out to be or should people take a more unbiased and critical view on the issue before acting and commeting on issues as such.
To my knowledge the curry complaining incident happened a whooping 7 years ago!! Why is it only being brought up now? I mean... If it was that big an issue, we would have heard about it close to a decade ago which we did not so why stir up a storm now?
In all honesty, we I was invited to "cook a pot of curry" on my FB my eyeballs rolled to the back of my head u till it kinda hurt and it can't roll anymore.
Meaningless events like this created to spark controversy is the exact reason why teens are rioting over at London and so many part of Europe right now.
The herd effect is so inviting and contageous that a huge ass riot can be organized through BBM.

I think the younger generation which includes me ( cause I'm young ) has a great potential to make a difference because we think and do things differently but nonetheless effectively.
But what I wanna put across is the pick your battles wisely and not charge at every wall you see because you are only going to get so battered at the end of the day it's not worth it.

As for aquamarine, I say...
Why would you complain of the adjustments made is only for your convenience?
If you can't eat the lunch, then go for the dinner?!!
Simple as pie.
Singapore is multi racial which means that people of many background visit that restaurant which was not the case previously because the restaurant decide to be exclusive.
But since the policy has changed for your convenience I don't see the need to complain and worst yet, raise a controversy in the cyber world yet again!!

So this is for all you peole who cooked curry, rioted in London or whatever city that was, or complained about some small minor issue
GET A LIFE.
And stop creating trouble.

I am officially a driver!
YAY ME! 1st time passer yo!
Now, to wait for the damn COE to drop before my parents will get me my rush.
The rush is only like the nicest car in the whole wide world.
I loved it since i lay my eyes on it eons ago.
If i ever get a red rush, imma name it and imma love it like i have never loved anything in the world
It is my one true love.<3
*cross fingers*

I am starting to doubt myself and if i am in the right carrer path
My mum just asked me how to use the cable remote control and i let out a loud sigh
I taught her nonetheless but really unwillingly
I dont really wanna teach anyone anything anymore
its so tiring
lesson plans, powerpoint slides, fun activities
my brain is drained to a chalk dry consistency
touch it and it may just crumble like a cookie

week 3 day 2 here i come!
positivity
positivity
positivity

p.s:
my license picture is a bit cocked eye but i dun care cause taking another picture will cost 7 bucks and im broke from paying for all my driving lessons and tests.

I said with pulp.

2011-07-09T22:43:00.001+08:00

first training in a long time and i cant believe i manage to completely blow it thanks to a tiny sandwich.
i have never felt so miserable and whoozy while performing a physical activity until this training came along.
10 minutes into fitness, my vision started getting fuzzy and the i couldnt run straight anymore.
tried to tahan until i heard the word wheelbarrow!!!
i can only imagine how being in that position would only allow the stupid sandwich to exit almost too easily
so.. i threw in the towel.
i seriously felt really bad about myself cause i knew i shouldve eaten more in the day and not wait till an hr before training to have ur first meal on a training day.
bad idea jacq.
and the sandwich?? you are forever banned from sandwich list.
just in case u guy wanna know, its from Yamazaki at tamp 1.
BANNED!
jacq.... its time to step it up a notch!!!!!
i hate being mediocre.

lovin this song by Nikki Minaj now.
Super bass.
Been trying to learn the song but my tongue keeps getting tied up 3 seconds into the song.

Rap is kinda tricky for me.
I either totally adore them or i hate them to their deepest core.
I dont know how to explain how the selection process between like and hate goes, but i think a lot of the meaning and the lyrics contributes to if i actually like the song or not.
Rap artist that i do appreciate are:

1. Kanye West
2. Eminem
3. Nikki Minaj
4. Nelly
5. Will.i.am (borderline on detest)

Rappers whom i absolutely hate are:

1. Fifty cents
2. Snoop dog
3. didnt even bother remebering their names

i am back from china and i have to say the second trip to the land of ah tiong is really enjoyable for me.
Its probably because the first time i was doing touristy stuff and the second time i got to see more of the "real" beijing which was an eye opening experience
didnt take many photos as nic had a huge ass DSLR and i was too embarassed to take out my lao pok compact camera with scotch tape by the side.

i got posted to Bedok Green Sec!
yay!
there was a mistake cause i was actually posted to tampines sec which made no sense as Aloy is there too.
Thank god for Felicia Goh that i got posted out huh? haha
i remember telling melati i wanted to go to bedok green because they had canoeing there and i didnt wanna go back to damai, so bedok green was the next best option
and who knew??
someone up there must have heard me.

im really loving summer colours now
do you know
i have never owned any yellow or orange coloured clothes until last month??
even for my PESS shirt. I refuse to wear the orange and yellow ones cause i used to think i look really weird in them
But now, i have too many!!
do not let me anywhere near Zara cause the window displays are so pretty and brightly colour i wanna buy everything in that store.
Sadly, i pretty broke after the trip to China although i didnt pay for the air tickets at all.
How sad.
Need. to. stop. shopping.

Daddy just gave me the shock of my life.
Will let you know when i can show it to you.
Ciao!

p.s: anyone wants to learn guitar with me? feel like picking up a musical instrument.

PDL renewed for the 1676348984903th time
lessons 3,4,5 and 6 booked. (1 and 2 two years ago)
good progress albeit slow.
But based on my standards, it wouldve taken another 4 years to reach lesson 6.
As ironic as it might sound, rush is waiting.

another great effort from Hailey Reinhart
I really wonder how she ended up in the bottom 3 again?
Scotty better go before she does or it'll just confirm once again that Americans are clueless when it comes to voting.

p.s:
i havent washed my hands since modelling with adam levine in this ad.
hot or what?
i think i like the bony thing poking out of his hips.
i shall add that to my "to have list" in my future boyfriend.
So, even if you are a hot indian/caucasian rugger/canoeist but dont have that bony thing at your hips. SORRY.... not interested.
Kthnxbai.

always in my heart

2011-04-15T17:45:00.000+08:00

without you, i wont be who i am today.
meridian canoeing woosh one last time.
i'll see you when i see you again
<3

i hope you dont mind

2011-04-05T01:42:00.005+08:00

Is anyone else following idol except for jeanetix and i?
You have to watch! The talent this season is amazing!!!
Unlike last season. Phail!

im in love
like a phoenix risen from the ashes, Casey blew the competition away after he got saved by the judges from his elimination.
putting his Casey touch on Elton John's "your song", you cant help but just melt away.
i guess this was his way of telling america, screw you for voting me out!
or as ryan higa would say, PWNED!

Another one that surprised me was Hailey Reihart
I always liked her for her bluezy voice with a slight husk but she seems to be very unpopular with america, ending up in the bottom 3 for 2 weeks in a row.
But seriously, her version of Bennie and the Jets was mad nice.
I like it just as much as i like Casey's song.
Just look at J. Lo grooving to the song!

i think elton john just brings out the best in everyone.
Stefano whom i usually dont like also did a decent job.
He takes the spot as my third favourite performance of the night.

For those who have missed out all the fun, its not too late to start watching!

bidet! bidet! no ones wants to be defeated!

i know im generally a messy person, but i dont think im dirty or repulsive or anything close to that.
so i wonder why when someone rejects the cubicle that i just came out of.
to be honest, im actually quite offended.
like why?? what did i do?
has that happened to you?
i admit i do that too.
but its when the toilets is really damn grosse.
Like shit stains and repulsive smell that just triggers my gag reflex.
obviously the person who left the toilet like that is super dirty and inconsiderate.
But i swear, i have never left anything of that sort behind after i use the toilet. Even if i did go number 2, i would make sure everything is clean before leaving the cubicle.
Like come on, its just courtesy.
screw you for rejecting my toilet!

p.s: omg! i wanted to put a picture of a toilet here. so i googled toilet dirty and i couldnt belive what just saw.

Mr Schu should sing more.
No more of that white rapper thing.

[Verse 1]

On the rooftop thinkin’ it’s about to pour
People run for shelter, tryin’ to get out that storm
But I got you with me, the sun behind me
So what are we leavin’ for? Let’s stay. Let’s get carried away
Your eyes are beggin’ me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin’ but we don’t care

[Chorus]

But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain

[Verse 2]

Nothin’ better than givin’ this all to you
And the weather’s only adding to the mood
See the wind’s blowin’, fire’s growin’, both of us soakin’ wet
But let’s stay, yeah. Let’s get carried away
Your eyes are beggin’ me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin’ but we don’t care

[Chorus]

But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain

There’s no place that I’d rather make love to you
Right here on this roof, yeah
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers’ lane? Right up on this rooftop, let’s make love in the summer rain

2011-03-27T00:05:00.007+08:00

2011-03-22T01:39:00.012+08:00

I was having a very interesting talk with Kumar this afternoon and i just have to post it here.
You see, number 1, i was exhilarated that the conversation had nothing to do with the nether regions nor copulation because it seems that i noticed a trend which is so strong that i can plot a linear equation graph based on the conversations that Kumar is in, it is always abt SEX or hell-period.
So anyway, i was happy we were having a more intellectual conversation at that moment.
Number 2, i wanted so much to prove that i was right about the topic.

Okay, we were talking about my previous post about the ancient aliens and all and for some reason we digress into indian mythology.
So i mentioned that Shiva the destroyer was a goddess instead of a god.
Being the closet hindu that he is (cause he would rather die than admit it but i know he is)he immediately told me that Shiva is a man and not a lady and that i was wrong.
Well, i am wrong.
After wiki-ing, I found out that Shiva is in fact a man.
But somewhere along his life, he kinda combined bodies with his wife to become this half man and half woman.
Like literally half, symetrical bilaterally.
Like that.

So, you cant blame me for mistaking Shiva as a woman.
I swear i saw the word goddess in my history textbook when i was in Sec 1 if my memory didnt fail me.
It was this statue, i remember which was in the book.

which man on earth can bend the leg till this angle?
and the butt sticking like that??
cannot blame me along with the other 6.02 x 10^23 ppl who mistook him for a female

Well, to add on the other two of the ppgs were not helping cause they insited that Shiva is a male as well.
So what do you do?
You ask!!
I stopped random ppl walking by our table in the canteen and ask them if they think that Shiva is a man or a woman.
We got the whole lot. Some said man and some said woman.

My stand is it doesnt even matter if people know that Shiva is a God or Goddess for the matter.
The fact is that the name Shiva shounds feminine on its own.
Even without an prior knowledge, i am sure there will be people who would think that the bearer of that name is a female.

Any name ending with a -va sounds feminine.
But sadly the english teacher (Sarah Jeanetix) disagreed
She said that -va is a very strong sound and hence makes the name musculine.

Here is my rebuttal:

1. Lady Godiva

the famous noble woman who rode nake on the saddle through the streets of England.
or, that chocolate shop.

2. Maria Sharapova

epitome of a female.
young, successful, pretty, rich
She makes me go, sigh.
lovvvvve this dress btw.

3. Elva Tsiao

for the cheena ppl, im sure you know this singer
or the girl on tv airing her arm pits everywhere because she uses Rexona!
sidetracking, i read somewhere that anti perpirants blocks your pores and doesnt allows the toxins to exit your nodes which can cause cancer.
I stopped using deodorant/ anti perpirant since then
Phew ew.
stay away from me when im exercising i guess

4. All the Evas
that includes longoria and mendes.

still not convinced?
let me show you some empirical data

acording to satistics done there are more girls with names ending with a -va as compared to guys.

Trend of girls
if this were a song, it would be - up up here we go.

Trend of guys
this would be down down down down down - jay sean

so you see... its not that i wanna be right.
I just am- usually
they say that humility is a virtue
Tanks. Tanks very much

left right left, jump!

Can i interest you in something?

2011-03-14T15:30:00.015+08:00

ABless the heavens that i finally get a 4 day week this sem and icing on the cake is that my free day is a friday which allows me to have a well rested weekend before i commence with the start of the week again.

So i usually spend my fridays catching up on sleep, some or very little work and television of course.
It was around 4ish and there were no interesting programmes to watch so i kinda explored the different channels a little
What caught my eye was this show called "Acient Aliens" on The History Channel and so i decided to watch it since it was starting soon.
However, it was only a few minutes into the show that i realised that i have stumbled upon another amazing documentary thati just have to share with everyone.

The main theory that is proposed in the show is that alien astronauts from a long time ago, came to earth and helped man kind progressed with technology they bring from their highly advanced universe.
I know this may sound like hog wash and pretty unbelivable and trust me, the cynic in me was turned on 100% the moment i saw the word aliens
However, evidences that was shown to me in this show was simply too good to deny and right now, i kinda buy the whole alien astronaunt thing.

There are simply too many things that cannot be explained on Earth
From strange phenomenons to the ingenuity of man
I find these all very amazing and intriguing at the same time
Once again, my search for the next amazing documentary continues.

Here are some bites out of the doc to get you started:

1. Nazca desert lines
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru created btw 400 to 650 BC
These lines are found on mountain plataues and resemble airplane landing strips
Other than this, there are many figures made which resembles hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizards.

These ancient giangantic drawings are very huge and span across many kilometers per drawing and hence can only be seen if you are flying across the sky.
The question is, why were these drawings created if no one could fly at that point in time?

2. The egyptian lightbulb
When the acient egyptians built the pyramid, many heiroglyps and pictures decorated the walls of the pyramid.
In the great pyramid of giza lies a highly guarded chamber which is only open to the high priest.
The conditions inside these chambers are dark and very poorly ventilated.
This means that for someone of that time period to walk in those chambers, they would need a light source which is probably in the form of a fire torch.
However, the amount of oxygen is so low deep withini the secret chambers, it its impossible to suport a flame at all.
How then did the acient egyptians walk through those pitch dark chambers without a light source?
In the guarded chambers, on one of the walls shows this picture

Looks like a light bulb isnt it?

3. The Pyramid of Giza
Do you know that it took the ancient egyptians 22 years to buid the pyramid of giza.
Each brick that makes the pyramid weighs about 2.5 tonnes.
If you do the math, this would mean that it takes 9 seconds for 1 brick to be cut, transported and placed onto the pyramid.
Amazing for that time period or did they have additional help?

4. Sarcophagus of Mayan King Pacal
You know about the Mayans right?
A very smart bunch of ppl that were way ahead of their time but disappeared all of a sudden
The Mayans had a king called Pacal whom they hold in high regard.
When he died, they built a pyramid for him and on his sarcophagus they caraved a picture which was supposed to symbolise his journey to the underworld
This is the picture

If you look closely, it looks like a man sitting in a capsule of a space shuttle isnt it?
Theres an oxygen mask on his noese, his hands are turning something and his foot is on some sort of a paddle.
At the bottom, you see fire spounting from the space shuttle as if its taking off.
Just for comparison, this is a picture of a real astronaut in a space shuttle ready for take off

Spotted anything similar?
Btw, in recent years, the king's tomb has been seal away and closed to visitors.
I wonder why.

I shall leave you with the 9 amazing parts of the documentary which i found on youtube.
Please watch it and decide for yourself.....

I notice that i am falling sick more and more often.
Dont think this is a good sign at all
what a bad week it was
lecturers and timetabling
ppl at that place should stop treating us like we're fucking primary 3 students.
there is no reason to:
1. shout
2. scorn
3. suspect
4. belittle

and yes, im refering to more than one person
ppl at the top are really screwed up.
okay, some ppl.

p.s:fuck you, bloody graph theory guy! i so do not deserve your scornful eyes and tone.

i felt so clueless during track class cause i cant seem to get my footing right, result in my feet getting caught in the rope cause there wasnt enough take off power.
Feeling like a loser, i decided to practice it right after track class
the miracle thats is rizal or rather coach rizal did his voodoo on me and i was able to jump my personal best of 100cm within 45min.
and not with a rope, with a pole mind you.

rizal recorded down my best jump and split the frames up for a more detailed analysis and this is what i got.
My high up sequence frame by frame
I would say, it looks pretty decent considering the fact i wasnt event able to clear half that height 45 min ago.

Extra bright, i want y'all to see

2011-02-21T17:51:00.022+08:00

This is an attempt to ressurect this waste of a digital space.
And to entertaint Chelsea who is the only one who visits this forsaken url.

Im gonna come clean now.
I think i have an addcition
There, i said it. I am addicted to reality tv.
And i dont mean, "oooooh, im addicted to candy kinda addicted"
IM ADDICTED!
big time, the real macoy.
I just cant seem to stop watching reality television shows.
Just to steer this ship back from where it came from a little, i think reality tv gives me the thrill and excitement that scripted tv shows cant provide.
.....
Just name it and i think its probably on my "to watch list" right now

Project runway season 8 check
Celebrity apprentice, check
ANTM cycle 15 check
Jon and kate plus 8, check
Keeping up with the kardashians season 5 check
Kourtney and Kim take New York, check
Strange addiction, check
Jersey Shore season 3, check
Survivor Redemption island, check
True beauty season 2, check
Master chef aust, us, junior, check
Kitchen nightmares, check
Hell's kitchen, check

and the list continues

One thing i am not gg to do is to call for an intervention because i wanna keep being a TV addict
And you know what?
I'm gonna try to convert some of you to start watching some of these awesome shows.

1. Survivor Redemption Island

This is number 1 on the list for a very goooooood reason. Survivor is like the queen mother of all reality shows.
I dont really know too many people who follow Survivor maybe except for Wee lin who is also an avid fan of the show since eons ago just like me.
22 seasons into the show and you'd think that people might grow tired of it already.
HEll NO! In fact, it gets more exciting
This season, when you get voted out, you dont go home and instead you go to redemption island where you can try to win your way back into the game.
How cool is that?
And whats more awesome is that Boston Rob and Russel are both back in the game.

These two great survivor talents definitely makes the game so much more exciting to watch and im am already looking forward anxiously to episode 2!
If you dont watch any on the list, at least try this one.

2. Jersey shore

I know.
Stupid show. But stupid good anyhow.
Why? Just becuase it makes me feel so smart compared to these fake new york italians.
For these bunch of people, their life is all about the GTL
Gym, Tan and Laundry.
Not to forget partying in clubs and having sex.
Soemtimes I feel like im watching a documentary about a of monkeys going about their daily routine.
You make yourself attractive (GTL) and then you attrat your mate through courtship and finally you copulate (club and sex)
Right???
I really envy their burdenless lives but most of the time i just laugh at their stupidity.
This show is a feel good show for you peole out there who need to put others down just to feel good about yourselves.

3. Keeping up with the Kardashians

Lifestyle of the rich and famous aint what we all dream of?
I enjoy this show because it is soooooooo scripted but yet the cast are kinda living in their own bubble thinking we audiences are retards or of lower thinking order.
Seriously dude, we can tell!!!
But that aside, i secretly would love to live their life.
How should i describe it accurately? Its the flossy flossy lifestlyle with fast cars, pretty clothes,lotsa money and partying.
I think the Kardashian sisters are actually quite pretty just because they are not the usual skinny minny i see on the silver screen and appear more real.
I would reccommend this show if you are into the hollywood lifestyle and need some make up drama in your boring life.
Think DUIs, sex tape leaks, eloping in las vegas, magazine shoots etc....

4. Kimora, life in the fab lane.

I LOVE this show because Kimora Lee Simmons is super hilarious.
Fashion mogual, model and mom are the different roles she has to juggle and you see how she does it on this show.
I think im a little kimora deep inside because she is an asian girl who is into fashion and glam and she married Djimon honsou!!
The guy from blood diamond.
Stil no clue?
The guy whose crotch was on the display window of Calvin Klein at citylink for a good half a year!! Hot...
Anyway, she has 3 kids and they are pretty hilarious also...
So just watch this...

5. Jon and kate plus 8

Where do i even begin??
After watching this show. I wanna have 8 kids myself!!!
The idea of having several kids growing up together is so fun.
I was kinda upset when they announced the infamous split because they would;ve been the perfect family.
Jon is korean and kate a caucasian, so you can imagine how cute the kids are.
Aside from that, they are very socialble and have different personalities which is very fun to watch.
Watch this show if you like to see kids do and say the darnest things.
Oh, and not forgeting, paranoid mother who always spoils the fun.

6. Project Runway

Turning plain old cloth into beautiful garments has always been my dream.
I spend a lot of moolahs on clothes and if i can do what these people on the show do, i would save myself a lot of buckaroos.
In fashion, one day you're in and the next day, you're out
Seeing other people's take on what looks good allows me explore how i can dress up less conservatively.

Anyway, the list never ends.
I dont know if it has happended to you.
But the person i am rooting for in the reality competition always ends up being the runner up.
ALL THE FREAKING TIME.
Be it survivor, ANTM, even freaking masterchef.
pisses the crap out of me.
So, go on and start watching some of these shows and tell me if you enjoy it just as much as i do!

Songs i am loving right now
Kanye, gaga, far east movement and lady antebellum
Kanye's video is awesome man..

All of the lights- Kanye West

Born this way- Lady Gaga

Rocketeer- Far East Movement

Need you now- Lady Antebellum

I was watching this documentary called Religulous.
You probably figured its a mesh of the word religion and rediculous
Bill Maher explores why people today continue to be so faithful to their religion even though they are so much more educated than the past
He went to the churces, mosques, scientology churces and even some mormon temple(mormonism, which i got to know from this show.)
Please go wiki mormonism. (hah)
It is SUPER INTERESTIING and ENTERTAINING.
here is the link
But be warned, you should take this show with a pich of salt or just dont watch it at all.
But if i were you, i'd click on that link right now to have 101mins of my time well spend on a good show.
I love the closing statement, strong powerful and assertive.
But that is just my opinion.

peace out!

"If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants.
Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die.
Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say I lived in the time of Achilles."

names of heroes transcend their time and live on forever.
I like the idea of that.

I bought the DVD of one of my favourite movie "Kingdom of Heaven" yesterday
I think i am at the point in my life where i am starting to collect movies and albums which i think are good and would like to keep as part of my collection
When i was much younger and more importantly poorer, i didnt believe in buying CDs and DVDs
For music, i'll just download it somewhere and for shows, i prefer to go to the theatres mainly for the sound and picture quality.
Back to the DVD, though I have watched the movie at least 10 times, this DVD is pretty cool as it has a bonus documentary DVD included telling you more about the historical facts vs Hollywood( what actually happened in the movie)
For 13 bucks i think it was such a good deal so i got it without thinking twice
Wanted to watch it with my family(mum and dad) but i couldnt finish it before i left the house for some gathering on new year's day
Left my parents to finish it after i left home but they told me they wanted to watch it with me another day.
When i got home, i wanted to finish the movie and the documentary only to find out that my dad had lent the DVD away.
Really??
What happended to asking?
Well, at least let me finish it watching first??
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Part sad
Part pissed
Part appalled
and a whole lot of bored since i dont have anything to watch anymore.

I think we need to hold a courtesy campaign within the household.

Last year's wishes are this year's apologies

No more.

I am sore
I am tired
But i shall press on
People may underestimate my abilities right now
But i shall prove every single skeptic wrong
The fire is back.
Watch me.

Jet lagged

2010-12-23T05:18:00.005+08:00

So ive been back for two days now and im still jet lagged.
On the plane back, i was just having a conversation with my mum about being jet lagged.
I asked her if she would be jet lagged cause technically, we reach Singapore in the wee hours at 140am and hence the only thing we can do when we get home is to sleep.
Her reply was, nooooo.
She doesnt get jet lagged cause she barely sleep during the plane rides.
Well, my reply was an old person's body doesnt get adapted to different time zones so quickly and i bet her bottom that she would be insomnic.

But what do you know??
Here i am at 523am, typing away feeling wide awake and my mum has been sleeping for the past 6 hours.
It seems that the kettlebell workout i did 2 hours ago didnt do much to wear me down.
note to self: Google ways to treat jet lag/insomnia.
PRONTO!!

My handphone has been cranky since i got to LA and hence i am left without a working phone for now.
I hope people who tried contacting me can be patient till i get my phone fixed which is hopefully later on today.
this situation totally ruined my plan of msging some of my close friends
"IM BACK BITCHES!"
the moment i touched down at Changi.
BUMMER!!

I got bored on the airplane and opened up to my mum about they type of guys that catch my eye.
And then i pointed to the guy sitting infront of mum who caught my eye the moment he walked down the aisle
I was just going through my checklist and i did a mental check for most the must haves.
Sadly, mum isnt too happy to hear about my taste for the... how do i put it??
Exotic flavours??
And she told me the most racist thing you can ever imagine.
I leave you guys to think about it.
I dun think its that difficult to guess anyway.
Hah.

To everyone still having their exams
hang in there!!!

i'll leave you with my favourite song of the moment

Hold my hand
Baby I promise that I'll do
All I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my, hold, hold my, hold, hold my hand.

i agree.

I stare into this space with a great amount of guilt and disappointment in myself.
here i am blogging when the actualy fact is that i have tonns of thing to cramp into my tiny brain before tueday.
RERI is such a bitch. I am assuming she is a girl because a guy is never this complicated.
A part of me wants to really sit down to appreciate and understand the wonders behind this magical physiological model that was developed by a very intelligent man by the name of Dr Bala who also intimidates me to hell.
Unfortunately, time and my short attention span are not really on my side now.
So here there i go memorising like every other Singaporean student which is not what i am suppose to advocate as a teacher.
Ah.. the irony. It kills me.

IVE GOT HALL!!!
Gone are the days where i have to wake up at ungodly hours just to reach school in the nick of time for lessons
HALL 12 which is so much nearer to school compared to hall 8.
But the downside is that i am staying with a complete stranger which i am not really comfortable with.
I'd rather stay with Jeanetic and walk a bit more any day. BOO.

I think someone deleted all the temporary files in my internet folder which irriates me to the max and i think i know who the culprit is.
Now i have to type the full url before i can proceed to any site that i want.

I think i really have to go.
I am extremely convinced now that i can never stay at home to study.
I really envy people who can actually do that because it saves them so much time and they probably learn so much more than people.
I should have a fixed study partner instead of changing one every sem
Its so confusing.

Easy A, check
Repunzel, check
Unstoppable, check
Harry potter...........
I think i am the only loser left who hasnt watched the movie.
The funny thing is that before the movie was showing, i had so many different bunch of friends "choping" me to watch the movie with them.
The next thing i know, every single one of them went to catch the movie- without me!
FFFFFFFFFML.

Dear God,
please stop making the days when i wanna go for rugby training a rainy one??
Pretty please? with a cherry on top?
love jacq

Kthnxbye

2010-11-20T02:08:00.002+08:00

Goodnight world.
tonight, i shall sleep!

2010-11-18T02:49:00.005+08:00

If no one is going to take charge, then i will.
I just need a thank you.

i cant stop asking myself why??

2010-11-17T15:02:00.007+08:00

its been such a lazy day for me.
i cant remember when was the last time i actually woke up at 1pm in the afternoon but it sure felt good to not be waking at the crack of dawn bound on an hour and a half long journey to a god forsaken place.
its been almost a sem and i still cant accept get use to all the daily travelling to and back from school
Whoever that said that the journey gets shorter with every ride is so dillusional.

I had a really weird dream last night about meeting a teacher whom i respect so dearly telling me to not give up on my dreams
it felt so real and while in my dream i could feel the tugging of my heartstrings which is also the reason why i remember the dream in the first place

the fact is that i rarely dream at night.
I know that is technically not true, cause the actualy fact is that i dont remember my dreams, but who cares about technicalities?
Almost everynight I get a good night's rest, free from the thought of the adventures i probably had in my slumber.
As much as i am not the type of person who would dwell on what my horoscope says, or ponder about the weird shape formed by my tea leave at the bottom of my cup, this dream is so vivid that i cant get it off my head.

be brave.
decide.
do it.

Happy 25th anniversary Mum and Dad!
a quarter of a century and still going strong:)

of wonderkid and cleats

2010-11-07T21:24:00.007+08:00

This is actually the first time i feel that i am on task for the week's work.
i credit this surprizingly to fazly.
If he hadnt asked me out to study, i wouldve been doing anything else but studying at home for sure.
Right now, my creed towards work is to take it a week at a time.

Ive decided to join rugby for good and this leads to my search for the perfect pair of rugby boots.
They are techinically soccer boots but they work just fine for rugby.
I wonder if there is a difference btw rugby and soccer boots.
There are so many questions i need to ask before purchasing the right books
Can the enlightened pls enlighten me?

1. Round or flat studs?
I noticed some boots have round cleats while some have the flatter looking cleats.

What is the difference and how will it affect my run? or my ankles :-/

2. Nike or adidas?
Its the same old question btw vanity and practicality.
But to be fair, this pink adidas boots are not too shabby.

But im more of a swoosh girl. aint this a baby?

ack!

2010-11-04T00:20:00.004+08:00

i finally realised that my room is not really conducive for some real studying and so i decide moved my laptop out to the hall where the dining table is.
So i walked over to the fan to turn it on and then i started to recall how much i love to pretend that i am a singer trying to record her song by singing into the fan.
(dont pretend you havent tried this shit ever because i know you have)
so i waited till my parents went to bed and i sang Lady Gaga's bad romance into the fan.
i know right...
im really lame like that.
thats all i have now, excuse me while i go drink some cough syrup
i think i swallowed too much dust that was spewed from the fan.

I find her to be very zazzy.

2010-11-03T21:35:00.005+08:00

Aint this the cutest picture of our favourite feline friend?
The skeleton shows that hello kitty does have a mouth complete with canines.
But tell me again, why doesnt it show on her face?
TOO CUTE!
I always wanted one of these hanging skeleton that you find in the science lab.
Come to think of it, a hello kitty one is not too bad either.

p.s: no.. i still dont like cats. i just like the idea of being able to see the insides of a cat

Dear aggy

2010-10-29T02:22:00.007+08:00

i hate it when i get tongue tied whenever a question is posted to me.
it makes me feel so stupid.
it doesnt help that i have an attention span of a goldfish and the reflex of a sloth
another 30 seconds would have done the trick i swear.
once again, i step out feeling insignificant and helpless.

on a better note,
deg year 3s are the hockey champs 2010!!
and i am so proud of myself for scoring 2 out of the 3 goals that were scored through the entire evening
hcokey 101 from kumar, faz and fai actually worked!
yay me!

but i still feel stupid every tuesdays and thursdays.

I thought i should waste some time here just to feel more in control of my life.
i never thought that i would say this but 24 hours just aint enought anymore.
Work is pilling up an invisible weight on my shoulders and i sure hope i bench it like i do in the gym.
okay.. that was such a weird analogy but it'll do fine for the weary eyed girl sitting in front of this rectangular screen right now.

I get a sense that Dr Bala is afraid that i am not learning in class cause vocality = learning.
I guess this is the classic case where silence is not all that golden.
I am beginning to think i have selective mutism like Kutrapali from the big bang theory.
Get me some alcohol.
Note to self: Down some beer/vodka/whisky/jolly shandy before physio.
Im sure that will get me talking- hence learning.

Hell knows no fury like a woman scorned

On the contrary,
I feel like the world is our oyster and the possibilities are endless for people our age.
But why does it seem like we had so much more fun when we were younger?
Note younger and not young.

2010-10-03T01:34:00.005+08:00

here's to my dearest little brother for completing his first 3 months of basic military training for his national service!
way to go!
my conclusion is that they really make a man out of you.
Boys who walked in 3 months ago come out looking like real man.
For his batch of recruits, their POP was held at the marina bay floating platform for the first time and the turn out was huge..
Personally, i am not a morning person at all and the ceremony was held so god damn early i felt like i was sleep walking my way to the bay.
We were actually there before 7am!!
Putting the fact that i was sleep deprived aside, i was actually very glad to be there to witness a rite of passage that my brother had to go through and i felt so proud of him!
Another reason was that the show was spectacular.
Dont get me wrong, the show i was referring to was happening at the stands. The POP was actually quite boring and the sun was searing us so badly that i wanted it to be over asap!!
My parents, Daphane and I were lucky to get one of the front row seats because we got there relatively early and we thought we were gonna get a good view of my brother in all his glory.
But this is where the show begins, ppl at the back were flocking to the front and standing at the railings to catch a better glimpse of there army boys creating this human wall that .... the view of the ppl sitting in their sits in front.(including us)
Of course the ppl in front started complaining to the soldier ushers in front but sadly, could not control the crowd and things started getting really ugly.
This women who was clad in very classy black dress took a piece of card/paper and started throwing them at the ppl sitting in front.
Like literally taking aim and firing at random ppl. Can you imagine how appaled i was?
At that moment, i really thought that she was "THE ugly singapore" personified, alive and breathing in front of me.
People started shouting at the crowd that was blocking us and more ppl joined in the fun and added to the chior of curses making the whole situation very uncomfortable.
My conclusion on this whole fiasco is that that soldiers should just stick to defending the country as they really did not do a very good job at crowd control.
I say if they had done a better job at making sure that ppl sat in their sits, this whole situation would not even have taken place.

So once again, congratulations my dear brother!
Maybe they should come up with a jingle to remind ppl to be nice at the POP next year.
I say Justin Bieber would make a pretty good candidate for the singer.
Bieber blast!

Forget you

2010-10-02T01:21:00.002+08:00

This song has got to be one of my top 5 groove to songs of all time.
a little history about this song.
I heard it on the radio on fine day but i didnt get the title, so i called it the "funky black song"
Feeling really desperate, I went around asking ppl, do you know the title of the funky black song that is playing on radio now?
I even googled "the funky black song" but to no avail.(like duh?)
But they say patience pays off, and i finally heard it again 2 weeks later on the radio and i made sure i got the title.
Now i cant get it off my head.
And i managed to get Aloy hooked onto the song too!
I guess that is actually the greatest satisfaction right? Convincing someone else to appreciate something you do too.
I really get a kick doing that.

This song is called Forget you, by Ceelo Green
Forget you is actually the radio edit version of the song
The original version is called "Fuck you" which kinda makes more sense if you take a look at the lyrics.
Anyhow, this song is mega love!!
Official Music Video for the original version!

Today we wear soft cotton shirts and pants, and women get support for their breasts from other supple materials designed for comfort. But the same woman who pities the corseted girls of the past may very well go to the gym five times a week to do a hundred sit-ups on a Swiss ball and an hour of aerobics. Most likely she is exacting about her diet, eats foods that have been stripped of various life-sustaining elements and thus keeps her body fat to a minimum. The whalebone ribbing is gone from just beneath her dress, but now her own ribs show through the cloth . Also note that though it was hard to fail at wearing a corset, many women today fail at their body goals, spend massive amounts of money on half-used gym memberships and diet programs, and worst of all, feel tortured by their failure . . .

So who is crazier? The culture that had women bind their bodies or us?

can you see the light in me

2010-07-21T11:25:00.003+08:00

i really really like this song a lot although i do not udnerstand a single word of the korean language
I heard this song some time back on Dawn Yang's blog and i used to visit her blog just to listen to this song until she removed the song
Not a fan of her blog cause i find it really unprofessional and kinda boring.
So this band is called Clazziquai Project from south korea and they produce very jazzy feel good tunes
Have a listen!

i say dream.

I caught Inception with mummy yesterday night and i cant seem to find a word to describe the movie except for
MIND BOGGLING
I left the cinema with a frown on my face thinking about the very last scene and trying to explore the possibilities of the final scene
I am hoping more people in my social circle will watch it soon cause we can start a whole debate on that show.
I cant do it with my mum cause she came out looking dazed and confused which is not a good sign.
Not forgetting the ever so charming face of Leonardo Dicaprio and his impeccable acting skills
I just love that man for his talent
Leonardo trumps Johnny Depp any time in my world!
Everyone please go catch it even if you dont understand, Leonardo Dicaprio is there for your viewing pleasure for a whole 2.5 hours!
Awesome or what??

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonades.

So this is the 3rd week of practicum and i think i am getting this teacher thing more and more.
like today, right now, at this very moment, i can say that i feel like a teacher.
It an incredible feeling, like power and control in the palm of your hands.
You blow a whistle and they stop, you say sit down and keep quite, they dont make a sound.
Awwweesome!!

For the first 2 weeks, i was feeling kinda awkward, a little out of place and confused
the role between a teacher and a student was kinda grey for me cause the last time i was in a school, i was being punished for not completing my tutorials and running into school cause im almost late for the morning assembly(although this is still happening)
i felt like a student to my CT but on the other hand, a teacher to the students in the school.
I guess you can not get anymore confused than this as you are taking on two roles that are polar opposite in nature like heaven and earth.

As i was saying i was feeling outta place so i had problems interacting with the students because you dont know if you want to take on the role of nice teacher that jokes with them or be the stern teacher that expects nonsense.
One student came up to me and asked:
"cher, can i go to the toilet? i wore my shorts inside out." (she really did)
I looked over to my CT and asked for permission and he said:
"hey jacq, you're a teacher yourself, come on man, you can do this"
So what i did basically was just.... ignore them altoghther and pretended that they were not there.

yeah.. outta sight outta mind they say.
they also say you live and you learn and i actually did learn ways to get yourself into the students' good books
Basically, you gotta get into their conversation
and how so you may say??
have you been in a situation where you realy want to join in a coversation but you just dont know how??
Well fret no more, cause here are tips and tricks for all you guys.
well, just 2, but 2 extremely tried and tested methods that really works

1. Make them feel uneasy
You make eye contact.
really uncomfortable eye contact.
let them feel uneasy and that you are coming

2. Personal space barrier
Break it!
You know how there is this imaginary line? cross it.
They will automatically acknowledge you and let you in the circle
and BAM! you're in

and voila!
you're officially one of them

p.s: they even did the chicken dance for me today after my lesson:)

p.p.s: i am really thinking about getting a doggie
and if i do get one
i want this one!
a red toy poodle
it looks so much like a bear!
look at its stubby legs!!
i want this or an orang utan:)

my mind is drawing a blank

2010-07-18T22:11:00.007+08:00

I'm sitting at my desk trying to do my weekly reflections and if u're no idiot you'll probably already know that i am drawing a blank
its probably due to the fact that i was absent on thurs and fri and from mon to wed i was feeling too sick to observe my surroundings
i guess i am not really good at hiding my feelings cause my face usually tells it all.
Pls dont tell my face any secrets because it so can't keep one
My CT on wednesday asked me: eh, why do u look so sian and pissed off?
It was that obvious.
But you cant blame me.
I was coughing my entire GI tract out through my mouth and my tonsils felt so swollen it was chocking my airway making breathing a chore.

Surprisingly, i was reading the newspaper on friday and learnt of the poor man that got crushed by the crane on the upper deck of a bus.
What is saddening to know is that he is survived by a family of 7? who relies on him as the sole breadwinner of the household.
Apparently he was on the show RenovAID where they help families in really bad situation with their house and try to provide them with a better living enviroment.

Isn't it funny how life works?
What are the odds that the man who got killed by the crane happens to be someone who really needs to be alive to provide for his entire family
How on earth did one of our veteran althele Mr Tan Eng Yoon a sprinter got knocked down by a car when he is famous for running damn fast??
If you've got the time, i can name so many more.
The very young and successful girl in the mumbai terrorism?
The RJ triathele that died after a race?
I am always flabbergasted by these ironic situations and start to wonder if there really is a big man up there because odds like these dont even happen in casino royale.
Anyway, if this were my reflections, i would've filled up the page quite effortlessly.
But this isn't.
So i am still drawing a blank

p.s: i wish i could control time right now cause i would foward it to week 5!

it was great seeing you again, not that you know.

im on my way so dont close that gate

2010-06-20T01:37:00.005+08:00

Birthday shoutouts to 2 people whom i have no idea why they have not been beaten up on the streets yet.
Best of buds have to have their birthdays falls one after another!!

1. Mr Kumar
Love ur 42" chest that you have been working so hard on. Its already wide enough for me to project the world cup and watch it from afar so start working on ur biceps!
(pls ignore daniel's face. my photo cropping skills needs some working on. But its either this photo or the max brenners one which i aleady used for last year's birthday post for you!)

2. Mr Fazly

2010-05-31T22:59:00.023+08:00

i think my mum is really stressed out with the impending wedding of my sister in a few weeks time.
All of a sudden i see furniture being shifted around, curtains getting hemmed, weird red decorative stuff being bought and so much more.
And since then, my mum has been nagging at me non stop to pack/clear/clean my room cause there's gonna be guests at our house on the wedding day.
No.1, how about the guest go check out the bride's room instead of mine? Its not like i am the one getting married.
No.2, no one is gonna come into your hse and see if your curtains is of a nice length and open up my wardrobe and check if i have stacked my t-shirts neatly.

Okay, that aside, i promised my mum that i will get the room done by the 19th anyway cause being such a good daughter, i'll just let it go.
BUT NOOO..
She comes in every freaking day and shakes her head and leave. Not 1 day, not 2 days, EVERYDAY.
On a typical day, i just continue with whatever i was doing( ususlly watching a movie on my laptop) and ignore her
My cue to start screaming came when she stood at the door and wouldnt leave until i acknowledge her presence

##
me: yes mum, what do you want?
mum: can you please clear you room, i dont wanna keep reminding you everyday
me: i am clearing a bit at a time and i promised you it will be done by the 19th, even if i have to stay up all night on the 18th I WILL GET IT DONE!
mum: why do you have to wait till then to do? cant you just do it now?
me: because if i do it now, i would mess it up again before the 19th and i dont wanna pack twice.
mum: why cant you just stop watching your videos and pack you room
me: so, when do you want it done by? Give me a date. You said 19th and i am gg to clear by the 19th, but you keep coming in everyday to bug me. Pick a date. 15th? tomorrow? when?
mum: why cant my daughter be clean and neat. I give up!
me: I promise the 19th and i will get it done. there's no need to give up
##

how irritating was that?
to have someone come into your room and tell you what to do with it.
I admit its kinda messy now.
but dont judge me.
personal hygene is subjective.
this may be clean to you

but this IS actally still quite clean to me

i mean, those are just clothes and clean ones FYI. i just dont have the time to pack them into my wardrobe yet.
I am really trying to pack it a little at a time, rome wasnt built in a day and you cant expect my room to miraculously clear up within a day right?
My mum should really treat me better, now that my sister is married and gone and my brother is gg off to serve the nation next week.
If she pisses off her only daugther available to her, who is gonna amuse her?
Shoudlve thought of that before you come shaking your head in my room everyday right??
tsk tsk... a little too late mamma.. a little too late...

okay.
i usually dont stay pissed at my mum for too long cause she would usually bring me something nice to eat and i get happy when i see food.
Today, she brought me Siew mai and cherry.
I'll deal with the siew mai later, let's talk about the cherries first
You know what they say about being able to tie a cherry stem knot with you tongue means you are a good kisser and all the crap.
Im gonna bust the myth once and for all!!

So here is me, with the cherry stem

and then i remembered that all these cherry stem, kissing thing has some sexy vibe to it and there i am looking all jolly with the stem in my mouth.
This is not the way to go jacq.
This is the reason why no one wants to comment on your blog, its cause you're not paying enough attention to such minute details.
Its all about the details baby.
Okay, so, what is sexy i thought. And i think elizabeth hurley in bedazzeled.
take 2.
me with the devil horn headband. A she devil is always sexy.

wait.. i think i look like a jolly cow
Okay think jacq, smeyes. Smile with your eyes and add a little fierceness, you didnt spend all your time watching america's next top model for nothing.
take 3

take 4

okay. I give up.

So i googled, "tying a cherry stem" and it brought me to one of those wiki how page and i followed all the instructions and voila!

easy peasy breezy
and then i tried other variations and there you go, a braid!

this is for when you meet a vampire and need protection urgently, use 2 cherry stems.

when i realised my tongue was so nimble, i thought, i shall try the advanced style.
and even i surprise myself this time.

an ant!
so this leads me to conclude this myth has been confirm that ppl who can tie cherry stems are damn good kissers.
and if you can do the ant, you can suck the soul out of the other person like a dementor.
awesome.

So there's this food fair going on at the expo and my brother and mother are all excited over it.
I think my brother goes there with his gf like everyday and he nvr fails to come back with bags of food and one weekend, my mum tagged along coming back with more food.
resulting in this

So she bought this siew mai from the food fair which we had for dinner cause i wasnt that hungry

looks good right?
one huge ass prawn plastered to the top.
look at the name.

okays.

finally,
i was chatting with rizal and he said that he's addicted to the word LOL
i think the siew mai king is def a LOL moment
sadly, i dun ever use LOL when i chat
instead, i use haha
cause haha is the sound you make when you laugh.
i just think its more natural to type out the sound you make rather than describe what you are actually doing
no?
all LOL users, you are weird!!!

okay, im off to pack my room again.
** waves hand in left to right manner with palm facing you**
weird right???
and there you have it.

p.s: the cherry knot tying thing, i cheated. Its impossible!!

GTG!

have you ever experienced a situation when you are chatting with someone online,
and just when you are starting to get into the flow of the conversation, he or she says:

leonardo dicaprio say:
hey jacq, i gtg!

jacq says:
no problem leo, talk to you some time soon! bye!

x leonardo dicaprio - has left the converstion

and then half an hour later,
leo still remains online!
online
[] leonardo dicaprio- my heart will go on

not that i am being a psycho freak or anything, but you're stuck there wondering if they do not wanna talk to you and hence they say they gotta go.
why dont they wanna talk to me?
and for some reason, i become obsessed with their online status wondering and thinking of all the possibilities that couldve really cause the premature exit of the convo and if they are really gone for real.
have you ever wondered about this ever? im sure you have!
im actually guilty of that myself too. But i'll try to be more tactful and appear offline cause i just dont wanna talk to anyone at all.
see, "ourtesy begins with me and you" i quote the kind lion from the courtesy campaign.
but i cant rmb his name.

right?
actually,i shant ask for ur comments anymore, cause no one seems to be commenting anyways.
and ppl who previously commented got their comments deleted anyway.
hah!
let it go jacq, u're such a b*tch!

You know what's embarassing?

2010-05-29T13:56:00.006+08:00

Well.. because im bored like that, i shall attemp to blog about a decent topic.
Not toooo decent but it beats the one liners that ive been coming up with huh?
Although this is probably gonna be quite an awesome post, i can feel it in my bones already, note that the star attraction is the post before this.
Note to self, bookmark it, safe picture as, add formaldehyde to it, whatever to preserve it.
or....
i should just start the post with this, just to remind all of you.

Take that melati!
NO! I'm kidding! I love you, you know that:)
A back view is still a view okay. Shoulders with a bit of hair(and fazly's hands)
Okay, enough of self indulgence.

You know what's really embarassing?
I can bet everyone a dollar that this situation has arose sometime in their life and more than once for sure, but it seems that we just brush it off all the time and pray for it to be over soon.
So what it it already?

I was watching a rented DVD with my family over dinner last sunday night and everyone was cuddled around the sofa just watching when suddenly.....
the couple started making out.

AWKWARD.
What is amazing is that the scene only lasted for about 5 secs or less, but amazingly, within such a short 5 secs, my mum got up and went to the kitchen to get a drink or something. Lets just say she left the tv "coincidentally" when the make out scence was playing and only returned way after the scene was over.
You may call me a skeptic but i sure as hell do not think it was a coincidence cause deep deep deep down inside, i wanted to leave the hall as well.

It just wrong wacthing a love scence with your family right?
It's not so much of a question.
Change that ? to a .
Right.
Even when you are watching lets say a movie with your friends i think the reaction you show will also be carefully thought through. So what people really often do is to say something random to fill out the awkward silence in between.

##
Couple makes out
you: you know, i never understand why a young of a pig is a piglet and the young of a bull is not a bullet
friends: yeah! You know right. Not that i know a lot about pigs. I can't eat them.
couple still making out
##

Well, the other question is what do you do?
Its really quite confusing cause you dont really what reaction you really want.

##
Couple makes out
You play it cool. Pretend that nothing is happening and continue watching
But, NO. But if you keep staring your friend might think you're checking them out or something that you are not getting any of it youself.
Okay, look away. Just look away.
But, NO. If you look away, your friend might know you are really uncomfortable with a love scene.
##

So did i get it right? This constant battle that is going on in your mind when a love scene is showing?
I think it also applies to magazines as well.
Like in Cleo, they have this Sex and Men page when you DO NOT, i repeate, DO NOT read in public cause its just weird.
Well, at least for me. I will just skip through that page and read the entire thing and when i get home i forget toatlly about that page cause i assume that i have finished the magazine already.
This explains why my classmates are always coming up with terms that i do not understand and i get really confused becasue i assume that when they as you if you've been kissed on both lips they literally meant the 2 lips everyone has on your mouth, but NOOOOOOO.
Go figure. EWWW.

SO.... WHAT DO YOU DO?
Have you got suggestions? Let me know.
I say, my mum was brilliant.
You just walk away.
Bye.

p.s: i finally appreciate my the tiger stripes(or shld i say preens) head scarf from africa:)
animal theme party anyone??

Stop ringing my door bell or......

2010-05-29T03:08:00.005+08:00

ding dong!

who's GOH?

2010-05-26T00:18:00.003+08:00

go figure.
i sure didn't.
ICPESS day 1, check.
Its kinda shitty knowing the fact that the work load isnt equally spread out amongst all the student helpers.
Now, my only saving grace is that my group mates are nice. Otherwise i can always hope over to room 58 where the all the retards and 2/3 of the PPGs are in.
This is my current groove to song now.
Do the hellen keller and talk with your hips!
Except that... What the heck is the Hellen Keller??

**PPGs, we shld do a sing-a-long video for this!!**

1230am.
Sleep.

I still don't like cats after watching shrek forever after

2010-05-23T19:44:00.006+08:00

Oh gawd!
She must be the youngest person to be hit by the Bieber fever!
Precious little baby, singing the song "baby"! How apt...

Turquoise, will you be nice to me tomorrow?

Russell, you are my sole survivor!!!

2010-05-22T00:28:00.008+08:00

I wonder if my paddle will glow when i pick it up for the first time.
You know just like when Harry Potter picked up his wand at Ollivanders.

It's been such a long time. I cant belive ive slack off that long.
I wonder if Macritchie, sans me became a better place?
Story of my life, cause im lazy like that.

PPT and tennis session in school today.
And i would have to say that i wasn't as bad at tennis as i had expected as i havent touched my tennis racquet since before the exams?
I threw a ball at a person's head today during PPT.
He asked for the ball and i threw it to him but he didnt catch it. The ball bounced straight off his head,upwards!
Imagine that scene. Funny, except that I would seem like someone who cant really throw a ball???
Again, story of my life!!

Anyway, my mum has been nagging at me to clear my wardrobe and room cause my pile of clothes i brought back from hall is still untouched since i have moved back.
So yesterday, i decided to start on what i thought was the easiest to clear which are the towels.
I took the whole pile out and threw away the ones is didnt want and use anymore and re-folded the ones i use. And here is the final product!

A nice and neat towels section.
So if you havent noticed, most if not all of my towels are yellow in colour. Different shades of yellow but nonetheless yellow.
My family adopts this colour system for towels which i think is pretty interesting and effective. It is quite simple actually where everyone in the family has a different colour for their towels. So when my mum buys towels for us, she would pick out our specific colour.
Mine obviously is yellow.
Sister's is pink
Brother's is blue
Mum's is green and dad's is of an assorted colour.
So, with this great system in place, sorrting of the laundry is so easy and there's no discrepencies to as to whom this towel belongs to!
Just sharing a little something something which i thought is quite neat.
Is it only in my family? Or do some of you adopt the same system too??
Tell me about it!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
What's that?
I think thats the sound of someone skiing down a mountain!!

I think im sleepy already!!!
Its 1:07am??
Probably the earliest i have slept this year!!
Dance with me people!!
Uh huh, oh yeah!!!!
NIGHTS!!!!
