TalentQuest08 II

music garage is damn hard to find. i had to weave through all e shops in bugis village before i can find it.

as usual, rather torturous while waiting for my turn. but it's not so bad this time because my parents were with me, and it's not a long wait.

i had a shock when i entered the audition room. there were more judges (who were surprisingly young and hip) than i thought. plus a camera man who's filming the whole process. so i attempted to crack some not-very-funny jokes and i sang. felt my whole body tremble while i sang. damn, what's there to be so afraid of, should have calmed myself down.

there were 4 judges, so there were quite a fair bit of comments.

nervous/tempo too fast ie too rushed (DAMN)/not much prob with pitching (YAY!)etcetcetc...

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN SOON! -inserts expression-

what does that mean what does that mean. HMMMM.

but i shall not read too much into it. 听天由命！in case they are playing nice. i guess my score is determined, then if it places me in the top 50 good for me if not too bad. to be honest im rather apprehensive at the thought of getting into e quarterfinals. if im not wrong it's a public performance and it requires BOTH voting and judges' score. YUCKS.

Christmas Eve BBQ

turned out pretty well! my seek-the-candy-canes game turned out to be wildly successful ;) afterwards we had, surprisingly, a lot of fun in games that we came up with on the spot. i won in 猜拳 against my aunt! MUAHAHAHA. downing only half a cup of bacardi vs like 3 cups of red wine (i admit i have an unfair advantage). and my team won e act-and-guess-what-we-are-acting game too! and i never once kena in 终极密码. MUAHAHA! so ego-boosting :D seems like i never had so much fun in a family gathering in a long time already. like i said, hope things will continue to change for the better!

TalentQuest08 committee replied me already! ERPS. im having my audition on 30 Dec this coming sunday. shuddersshuddersshudders.

i need a lot more courage than ever to see me through everything.

TalentQuest08

again, i've decided to inject some excitement into my otherwise mundane life. wonder if my heart can take it.

no turning back- sent in my registration form already. i guess auditions will start soon. always challenging my limits. see if i'll be nerve-wrecked this time round. and forget my lyrics and screw up, like wad i always do without fail. my aim shall be to pass the auditions! but first, cannot screw up. 50, will there be my place? hmmm.

An Eventful Day!

nothing much exciting happened actually, but these days it's rare that im occupied for the entire day. GOOOOD! so i wun feel like i wasted a day away in front of the computer.

im taking my Basic Theory Test (BTT) in end of march next year! damn far away. and i refuse to attend theory lessons so i registered as a private candidate. suddenly im very excited at the thought of studying for the test myself and see if i can pass the test without taking lessons ^^ i wonder why the sudden enthusiasm in mugging.

then i had buffet at merchant court hotel! it's a treat by my relatives. it's like once in a blue moon that i get to enjoy such high-class dining. i would never bear to part with my money like that. and oh man the calories.

went to my cousins' house thereafter. HAPPPPPYYYYYYYY!! they are really fun people. was really close to them when i was really young. but the distance between us grew and there was a period of time i think to them i was just cold and aloof, though in actual fact i was merely introverted. and they probably think that i have too different lifestyles from them. glad i made e first move today. some things are so easy, but for some reason i always seem to hold back. im not confident, but i hope things get better ^^

cant go night safari with them! *wails* all because dingyuan's coming to install SCV at my house tonight :(

i need to think up of some games for the Christmas BBQ this coming monday.. good opportunity to get together and have some fun with my cousins again. but what.. i thought of one: I NEVER! any other suggestions?

*edit* i just received my card from YUMING-EXPRESS! HOHOHO MERRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS! he's like a santa claus sia. and he just passed cheryl's guitar to me! excitinggggggg! :D */edit*

Adulthood? 0.o

心平静了许多呢。

attesa

Meanwhile, life goes on.

how, seems like everyone else is getting busy. im not a proud slacker anymore :(

真害怕失去难得的悠闲自在。考试期间最向往的不就是这种时间多得就连用来发呆也不觉得浪费、内疚的日子吗。现在反而。。觉得有点无聊。考试期间不也想到有好多好多事情要做的吗？怎么现在连想要做事的冲劲也没了。是想要冬眠？0.o 哇，无可救药地懒散耶。

treading onto unfamailiar grounds as i step into adulthood. i thought getting a driving license is not all that difficult. now i know it involves a great deal of money, time and energy. enrolment, basic theory, final theory etcetc, e process is not as simple as i thought. TROUBLEEEEEESOME. there are much more of such stuff i need to pick up isnt it.

will be signing up for my basic theory test one of these days.

2007 Promenade - Belle Memoire

Did my hair and makeup at Hollywood Secrets, Paragon for $65. it wasnt really worth it, for i wasnt quite happy with my hair (i thought i'll perhaps look better without any form of hairstyling because im really not suited to tie my hair back) and i dun think my mum's makeup prowess is below that of my makeup artist.





Shangri La Hotel!




That's e cutlery..




Guess what's that for.



TADA!



the guys at the other table..

To see how i look like, below are some of the more decent-looking pictures of myself.



sadly, i think this photo is the only one i had which is relatively clearer and extends beyond my half-body! AHHH! i dun have a pic that shows my full body! that's wad happens when my cam ran out of batt halfway through due to my frantic taking of bo liao pics like those above at e beginning of prom =( (plus the tiara which was given by rebecca towards the end of prom ^^)





to see other beaus and hunks..






e more interesting photos..



spoilt princesses! notice the contrasting black vs white halter necks (and shoes!)



OHHH. notice the contrast again. weixin sucking everything in and im blowing everything out! hur hur. okok, another way to put it is the fat vs the skinny -.-



and finally, a zi pai to end the entry! HAHAHAHAHA! ok la, that's e last shot of me and my makeup before i wash it off at gary's house.



this picture has nothing much to do with prom :P that's 5 guys squashed in my dad's car, with wilson, edmund, weixin, ksiong and zeqi sitting back-front-back-front-back on the SEATS. how unglam!
