this was my first time having 2 papers in a day and as proven, it sux! i was totally brain-drained after the first (media law), and totally couldn't concentrate for my french paper in the evening. *LE SIGH*
then the paper next day was at 9am. yea, totally not prepared at all.
but at least, they are finally OVER! and i don't wanna think about it anymore.
now BEFORE the exams... there was..
chilling out at "My Secret Garden", whose best-kept secret is their Triple Choc. heavenly.then there was..
Linkin Park concert!
but the "break" is really over. The term break/recess week i mean.
according to jac, who saw this on Brainiac, it has been scientifically proven that time does fly when you are having fun/pre-occupied with a lot of things.
and it is true! this week seemed to fly by, and it's back to 401 lecture at 3pm again tomo. *shrugs*
So on this last Friday of our short vacation, it's party time at "Velvet Dragon", which was playing hiphop/r&b music, unlike what the name of the club seemed to suggest. with melmel, who's back from his trip to Vietnam for his FYP, jacjac, jole and marc.
and so, we've finally reached (almost) the end of September, and yes, you can wake me up already. (referring to my MSN nick that says "wake me up when september ends")
so many things have happened since the start of this month, and i know i haven't updated for like ages, so here goes the pictorial story of how it went down this month.
on 31st August, the HEROES appeared in Singapore
well only 4 of them (Greg's not in this photo). at Vivocity.and yea, they came, they stayed (for only 5 minutes, DOH) and they left.
then it was a 'farewell lunch' for Eileen who was going off to Europe for 5 months of exchange programme. so, i heard that Britney's performance didn't receive any good reviews...
but i do like her new single "Gimme More"!
Rihanna took home many many awards.. this is a no-brainer. "Umbrella" is such an overplayed song, but it's catchy, though i wish it was Plain White T's who would win the "Monster Single Of The Year" for "Hey There Delilah". bugger.
And Justin T.! Favourite Male Artiste, woahoo! expected. i mean, his album is awesome! seriously one of the best albums i've heard for the past year.
and so i heard they cut off Adam Levine's performance of "Wake Up Call", but then again, he was the ONLY ONE from Maroon 5 performing a remix of that song with someone else, how weird!!
in the meantime, if u wanna drool over some hawtness with me, here are some hot-worthy pics of adam levine & Co.
Wow, thank you MTV!!!!!
i can't wait to have some MTV merchandise and will make full use of them. =)
Meanwhile,
i am DYING to go for DAUGHTRY's showcase... he's yet another artiste on my list of MUST-WATCH concerts before i die.
if i can go for his showcase, it'd be a HUGEEEEEEEEEE dream come true.
sadly, it's an invites-only showcase, and if i CAN'T win anything at all to go for his showcase.. i am seriously gonna cry my heart out at the venue, SERIOUSLY.
How can i have my favourite artiste HERE, right HERE, and NOT be able to go for his showcase???
sigh.
lord help me please.
on another note,
i'm so glad that James Blunt has been made the Artiste Of The Month for AUGUST!!! TOTALLY looking forward to his new album,
and isn't "1973" such a beautiful song? it's awesome!
And yes, James Blunt is ALSO on my list of "MUST-WATCH" concerts before i die.
let's pray that he'd drop by Asia someday.. now that he is SO FAMOUS already.
nothing much to say, except, that,
i'm really beginning to feel that school is kicking in, sinking in, whatever.
but here goes more project meetings, deadlines, readings...
FYP is sinking in all the way til April next year..
stressed? hell yea.
can't wait to meet up with the (pathetic) 4 cast members of "HEROES" next Friday, and hopefully we can get the Season 1 DVD here soon too.
Hopefully DAUGHTRY will REALLY be here on Sept 20..
so now i have MORE to look forward to in Sept..
-Daughtry.
-my love out of boot camp.
-HEROES and UGLY BETTY returning for the second season!
the cutest gay assistant ever on TV.
geeky hawtness.-Desperate Housewives returning for the 4th season~
TERM BREAK - if there's even going to be any. sigh.
piccies time... featuring my new rebonded hair.
my favourite hero & villain. Peter Petrelli & Sylar.
and both WON'T be here in Singapore on Aug 31st.
the other 4 "heroes" coming here.. not so interested in 'em. bleah.
bugger.

and how was i to know i'd come back home to an angry dad?
i was out clubbing last nite, came home at 4am, and went out again today to support my friend's stall at a flea market (and try selling off some of my stuff too).
dad is angry about that.
i know he is ALWAYS worried, that me coming home late, is really dangerous... and i really understand where he is coming from.
but i'm already 24 years old, when will he stop worrying for me?
i know i'm sounding rebellious here, and i may not understand from a parent's point of view,
but really, how do i show, and how will he ever understand, that i'm already 24 and i know how to take care of myself?
in his eyes, i'm still a little girl, i guess.
or not.
since he said the only time, that i've ever been 'good' in his eyes, was when i was 5, and i took out my own allowance to pay for stationery when he said he didn't have any money.
then he said i've "changed", and went onto the 'wrong track' (i can't type in chinese here, but it is wu4 ru4 qi2 tu2, if you know what i mean).
so a change of lifestyle (by not beng a nerdy girl who always stays at home and study all day), and going out more often, having a nightlife,
means that i'm a BAD GIRL now?
how is that so?
I HAVE A LIFE!
what's wrong with that?
why can't he accept it?
doesn't mean i'm a CHANGED person. i'm NOT!
yes i may be spending more money, going out late, but i'm still studying as hard as i can. i've never shown any disrespect to him, or to my mum. i love them more than anything in the world.
well,
first day of school (after 7 mths of friggin' internship and not going back to sch for so long),
3 1/2 hours of lecture on "Media Law".
total brain-freeze and information overload.
i haven't worked my brains for that long, in a loooong time.
feeling really dumb, because all my other classmates are giving such intellectual comments, it scares the shit out of me.
it's my favourite prof, Dr. Mark Cenite, but he is calling out names randomly to answer questions and i tremble in fear each time he does that. Simply because, i have NO IDEA what he is talking about half the time, and won't know how to answer his questions at all.
LE SIGH.
why can't i be smarter?
i think i'm totally in the wrong course.
i am not a language person at all, yet here i am, trying to 'compete' with these A's students from JCs.
i should be in business, accountacy, or even engineering.
why the hell am i in media? passion, yea. it will only take me THAT far. truth is, i'd never be as good as these people.
hell i think i shouldn't even be studying in the university at all. I may have gotten in by luck, that's all. but i should be out there working my ass off.
i hate 401 already, even though it's my favourite prof, but MEDIA LAW? gosh. interesting, yet too 'deep' for me.
i am so scared of the lessons for this module for the rest of the semester..
on the brighter side,
Audio Production II seems so much more interesting this semester.
very interesting projects.. such as a 30-minute magazine feature for the radio, a radio drama, a test on our on-air presentation skills, and the thing i'm looking forward to most, is doing a recording of songs for a band! at our very own 'studio' in school.
can't wait to work on all these projects, even though they are going to be really hard to score, but at least they are more on the technical front, and really of my interest - in the radio area.
I am sooooooooo not looking forward to school which starts TOMORROW! baaah.
Meanwhile, here are more updates for the past week...
monday - dinner at HK cafe, then some 'kawaii' photo booth style cam-whoring
cam-whoring before "The Simpsons Movie" with Eileen on Tues
