A Levels are OVER

It is almost unbelievable but yes, A levels are over. I doubt I would ace it but I am an optimistic person (usually) so I will work with whatever grades I have obtained and see where I can go and what I can do with that. Why cry over spilled milk right? Life's too short for that.

After the last paper, Chemistry mcq, the girls and I went to watch Catching Fire! It was AWESOME. It totally made the book come to life. It was super intense throughout and I loved the cast's acting. (even Liam's and I don't like him 'cus of the Miley thing) Sam Claflin is just SO cute and I LOVED the old woman who played Mag. She was so adorable and I wanted to cry when she walked into the fog. I didn't feel that upset at that part when I read the book but the actress playing Mag made me feel so bad for her D:

I love Peeta-Katniss, especially after realising that Jen and Josh are real life friends outside of the movies and are very affectionate towards each other (as can be seen during their interaction in interviews and they have been friends since young). Go PEETNISS. (I hope you didn't read that wrongly)

After the movie we gave Maal her birthday present, which is less fattening than a cake. We bought her The Book Thief. Hope she likes the book!! HAPPY BELATED 18TH MAAL. :)

Today, I went for my first job after A Levels. Can't reveal details 'cus it's a high-profile event, but I suppose I can reveal more details once it's over, which is tmr. :) All I can say for now is that it was an international symposium with high-fliers and even foreign delegates. Is that too much info alr? D: Hope not! Don't want to get into trouble xD HAHA. 

The job is not demanding except for the fact that we have to stand for long periods of time. The pay is pretty good and we get to hang around VIPs and even talk to them ("This way, sir.") and pass them water bottles and I get to oogle at the good looking ones and we are provided with three meals so LEG PAIN can be TOLERATED. 

I can't seem to write in proper English anymore :/ Will work on it, gimme some time. I am using short forms everywhere -.-

OK so I had to wake up at 4.45am this morning to go to work but luckily work starts at 8am tmr so I can afford to wake up at 6. PHEW. 

The person in charge at work, Daisy, is really nice and I also made friends with two awesome JC peeps called Danelle and Jia Xing. (not sure if I spelt that write). It's quite fun when u have awesome colleagues to chit chat with. I even played shoot-shag-marry with Jia Xing and we used the foreign delegates. Since we can't remember their names we called them Singapore, Macau, Nevada, and Australia based on the country they are from. HAHA. (you can't blame us, we were bored) Danelle seriously resembles my sec school classmate Janice. :O

The tea provided to us was awesome - donuts, chocolate cupcakes, wanton dumplings, fruit punch and tea. Huge thumbs up. (Y)

ANYWAYS. After the job ended, I went to look for my prom dress and I think I found THE ONE. I have decided not to buy a long flowy gown just because the theme is Hollywood. If you think practically, what are the chances of me wearing a long flowy gown again anytime soon? Very low. Maybe the next time would be my wedding. LOL. 

So I have decided to go for something simple and practical instead. :) Haven't bought it yet though. Will probably get it when I go shopping with Judy this coming Saturday. Super excited!! :D

Will use my own hard-earned money from this job to buy the dress, makes me even more happy :)

After checking out the dress I headed to JE library and borrowed a book called "How to make it to the Top" - 'cus I really need to know. Actually I could have gone to the library another day when my feet isn't aching so badly but I felt a strange pull. Maybe it was fated because while I was browsing the book sections, I heard an announcement saying that there would be a live musical performance at the 4th floor. 

Now, I'm a music-lover and really like to support musicians so I immediately headed up to watch the performance. Omg, it was stupendous. Basically they were a group that does improvised performances. Any one of them would start playing any random tune off of the top of their heads and the others would join in at random places to either contradict or complement each other. They did about 5 random pieces like that and all of them left my jaw on the ground. Luckily no one stepped on it. 

And at the end they did something I would never have expected, they announced that they would invite an audience member up on stage with them to play the percussion instrument (something which doesn't require experience) and do an improv with them. AND THEY PICKED ME 'cus I was sitting right in front. Luckily after seeing my horrified face they invited another random audience member to do it with me. xD

At first I was very nervous of course but then slowly I got used to it. Unfortunately I was concentrating so hard on thinking of my own improv beats that I didn't get to enjoy the whole group's piece as a whole. Wish someone had recorded it and sent it to me :( never mind~ 

Today was quite a perfect day in my opinion, better than any of the last three weeks of mugging. Hopefully things continue to work out this way :)

That's all for now, toodles~ 

Singing

There was an open mike in Jurong West and it's going to continue till 13 June. I personally have something against that date. Anyways, let's not digress. Mabel and I went to perform today! :) Both of us performed live for the first time without any other purposes like auditioning for some singing competition or with the choir. It was for pure exposure :)

And I must say we did pretty well. We were both nervous but based on what I saw, I couldn't see that Mabel was scared. She acted calm pretty well :D And according to her I didn't seem one bit nervous either! Three cheers for US!

I sang Breakeven by The Script and she sang The One That Got Away by Katy Perry. According to my knowledge, I know I got every single note right. So I am satisfied :) I am a perfectionist when it comes to certain matters, and being a choir member for 6 years has made me a stickler for getting the notes right. The only sad thing is that none of our friends were there to watch us =/

But that doesn't matter. We sang so that we get exposure and we both did good and that's all that matters! Mabel told me this was the best I ever sang on stage! :) Will do this again after As! Time to concentrate on studying now. Had too much fun this holidays already. Means I haven't been studying :/

Mabel looking like a rocker :) 

Tafn. Good luck with studying everyone :) Have a fruitful holiday!

The Final One Live

Last Wednesday, Brielle, Judy, Mazi, Mabel, Zhiqi, Wendy, Shamira and I went to watch the Final One. Here are some pictures:

Mabel and I, pre-event

In the lift. Sun was a bit too bright ><

The set of Final One

What we wore for the live show!

Brielle and I. Are we photogenic or what? xD

my ticket! :)

Taufik Batisha, Judge. Photo taken by Mazi!

The contestants! Photo taken by Mazi! 

With besties Mabel and Judy! I know you can't see me -.-

Group shot! :) 

Pretty little ladies 

The Awesome Threesome 

  I must say we had some trouble finding the Mediacorp Studio and had to change several buses just to get there. LOL. Thanks Judy and Mabel for being such awesome navigators and so skillful at using Google Map. Without you guys, we would all be lost and late for the event! To anyone going there in the future, the best route would be from Farrer Park MRT station, there is a direct bus from there! :) 

The stupid thing is that in the midst of being lost, it started to drizzle and most of us did not bring an umbrella. -.- 

Anyways, upon reaching there I saw Mardiana, my ex Fuhua senior who is a supporter of Jean, a contestant of The Final One, and is also a close friend of hers. :) And guess what? We got really good seats despite the fact that we were kinda late! Brielle, Wendy and I got front row seats!! And the others were either in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th row, so all of us had a really good view! And yes, we all appeared on TV several times. :D 5 seconds of fame. HAHA

The contestants who performed that day were pretty good! My personal faves were Louisa and Glen! I liked Rico in the previous round but felt that he chose the wrong song to sing that day :/ I voted for Glen at the end of the show. We didn't stay to watch the results show though, most of us had to go home. 

I wanted to get a photo with Taufik but he went backstage before I could chase after him. WHAT A WASTE OMG :( Nvm, AT LEAST I GOT A PHOTO WITH HARRIS. *spasms* 

With the handsome Harris!

I know he doesn't look that appealing in this picture but it's just the lighting ok, he is normally very handsome. Judy and I were spasming when we saw him! THANK YOU MAZI AND ZHIQI FOR HELPING US BY APPROACHING HIM TO ASK IF WE CAN TAKE A PHOTO WITH HIM. LOVE U. We(Judy and I) were being wimps and didn't dare to ask -.- It would have been such a regret if we missed the chance. 

HE LOOKED AT ME. 

Omg I am being such a fangirl. I am sorry. :(

Anyways, all in all, it was a great day. Had lots of fun and laughter and new experiences. :) 

Preparation for Annual Road Race, meeting a DJ, and attending Adam Lambert's concert

If anyone wants to just read about the concert, scroll down! 

On Wednesday, I found out that I was selected to be one of the road marshals for JJC's annual road race, which would be held at Chinese and Japanese Garden this year! On the bright side, I wouldn't have to run the 4km race, on the negative side, being a road marshal isn't that fun either. But I guess it's easier than running such a long distance. So after school on Wednesday, the road marshals were taken to the location so that we can check out our stations. There will be two people at each station but I don't know who my buddy is yet. I hope it's Sapphy! :) I like my location, it's near the lake ^^ But I will be directly facing the sun  as it rises too -.- Made some new friends while I was there. Ingzhe(sp?), Neha and Jun Jie. :) Nice people!
But my legs were hurting afterwards and I got this HUGE blister which hurt like crap.
_________________________________________________________________________________

On Thursday, the day started off badly as we got back our math test results, and although I passed it, it wasn't well done. Made several stupid careless mistakes. Will try and do better for the next math test...which is actually the common test. *gulp*
Next we had our PE lesson, during which we were supposed to run 10 laps around the school track (4km). Unfortunately the PE lesson started a bit late and I only managed to run 9 laps before the bell rang and we were released. But 9 laps is already a major accomplishment for me. :) Mazi is my motivation!

The only problem is that for every step I took, I was stepping on my blister so it just got worse. 

After school, Saph and I went downtown, Scape to be exact, to pick up the stuff I won from 987FM. I won the AOS Anthem package and the Grammy Nominees 2013 Album, which consisted of a total of 6 CDS altogether. I feel blessed :D 

I didn't get seats on the MRT on the way there though, so my leg cramps and blister just kept getting worse! 

NVM, onto happier things. When Saph and I were within walking distance of Scape, guess who we saw walking around outside Scape? DIVIAN and DEE KOSH, 987FM DJs!

But Saph and I didn't feel that it was right to disturb them so we just acted cool and walked past them. -.- We went up to the 987FM office on the 5th floor and while waiting there, guess who walked in behind us? DIVIAN :D Guess our meeting was fated. Hehehe! After I collected my prizes, Saph and I got to take a photo with Div! Here it is: 

I know I look unglam. But I don't care :D

He's such a sweetheart :)

After Saph and I stopped being starstruck, we went out of scape, got some Gong Cha and sat down to chat. Then suddenly this girl came to us and said it's her birthday and asked us to say happy birthday to her while she takes a photo/video of us. Although I was quite shocked, we did it quite willingly. Why not right? :D 

And then a student from SIM approached us for help with a project. He used two different cameras to take photos of us and asked us which photo do we prefer. Here are the photos, he sent them to our emails! :) 

                                                      Saph and I both prefer the 2nd picture! :) 

After that we met up with Saph's boyfriend Kenneth and went for dinner at Botak Jones. I found him really friendly and gentlemanly. They make a cute couple! After dinner we went to Cathay Cineleisure so that I could help Keith to buy his Aztec phone case. 

Ps. I discovered the next day that I accidentally bought an iphone 5 case instead of iphone 4s case. dumb me

Friday: Adam Lambert's concert

Didn't go to school as I wasn't feeling well. Judy came over after school to catch up with me and Alex came over soon after! We chatted and listened to music until 5 plus. I changed into my concert clothes and we went for dinner at Hong Kah market! 

After dinner we went to Jurong Point and parted with Judy there! On the MRT ride to The Star Theatre at Buona Vista, Alex and I were already getting excited! While walking there I ran into my ex-colleague from ION, Eric! :D Said hi to him! I really never thought I'd have the privilege to meet him again! 

From the outside

From the inside: it can house 5000 people :)

The stage decorated in black and yellow

I really pity the people on the third storey at the back. I think they can only see a tiny Adam dancing around. xD But never mind, they can hear his awesome voice anyway. When he came out the crowd went wild. By the way, MDA rated the show NC16 so his younger fans couldn't come. For once I am glad I am old. I almost cried when he came out. You know how fans are. It was emotionally overwhelming. And everytime he came near to my side of the audience I screamed my lungs out hoping he would notice me, which I doubt he did, but it was still worth it. If I remember correctly, he started the concert with If I had You. I didn't video anything down as I wanted to focus on him 100% So here's a live from Youtube. It was BETTER than this! Much hotter, I almost died. 

His stripped down version of "Whataya want from Me" almost made me break down into tears. AND OUTLAWS OF LOVE WAS SO GOOD I CAN'T USE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. Check out the song:

"Everywhere we go, we're looking for the sun. Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run. They say we're riding hell...well I don't think we will. They've branded us enough, outlaws of love." 

Adele may set fire to the rain, but Adam sets fire to the stage. IT WAS HOT LAST NIGHT. From his outfit changes, to his stroking of the mike stand, dancing provocatively with his dancers, the backup singers (he calls them the Bajayjays), the MALE AND FEMALE GUITARISTS WERE HOT. THE DRUMMER WAS AMAZING. It was all just mindblowing. I wanted to be his mike stand. If I was a fan before, I am a MEGA HUGE SUPER BIG HUMONGOUS fan now. And I swear I will go for his 2nd, 3rd...nth concert in Singapore. Now for some pics of Alex, Jiamin and I :)

Love this pic! 

After the concert, Alex and I were standing at the shopping mall waiting for the crowd to subside and while doing that we met two familiar people! Firstly, I met my doctor! I always go to him when I am sick! (Ps. I think he's hot) I called out to him and was glad he recognised me! Turns out he had also gone to Adam's concert! So hot doc and I have similar taste in music! YAY! Next we met Kaili from sec school! Was nice to chit chat with her for a while :)

I don't think I can describe the concert anymore in words. SO I shall leave you guys with some hot pics of Adam Lambert to drool over. (I know he is gay.)

How intense is this? 

There are many more but I will grow old if I put them all up! Better go now! Thanks for reading! :) 

Ps. Best night of my life so far!

PSYched at Marina Bay Sands

Chin and I reached MBS 2 hours before the gates would be opened to let the audience in. I wasn't surprised to see that the queue had already started. So Chin and I queued up and talked crap to spend the next two hours. Before we knew it, it was already 6pm and the bag checks had already started. After that we had to wait for two more hours for PSY to appear. By then my legs were aching like crazy from all the standing ><

But thanks to our early queuing we got relatively good standing postions!! I just envy the MBS members who got the VIP standing positions cus they were the closest to the stage. The show started with hosts Jean Danker and Dominique Lau. They introduced O School, a dance centre, and their crew performed Gangnam Style. After that one of the dancers taught the audience how to do the dance steps for the chours step-by-step.

However, it was really difficult for most of us to try it out because it was so squeezy that we could hardly move. xD And after that PSY came up on stage, the audience welcoming him with loud cheers and applause! The audience included toddlers sitting on their parents' shoulders, kids, teens, young adults, adults, and even the elderly! HAHA.

The first song PSY sang was Champion and it was my first time hearing it. It's really Catchy!! All of us were jumping up and down with our light-sticks. Mine was yellow. After that he sang Right Now. This was UH-mazing too!! Super duper catchy and club-worthy. Lastly he sang Gangnam Style. Let's just say doing the dance with him right in front of me, is way different from doing it while watching him doing it on TV. I was just watching him at the MAMA awards last night, where he won song of the year!

                                                                         Chin and I

It was an amazing night and I am so glad that I was a part of his first concert in Singapore. <3 i="i">
