yes yes. some of u might know that my powerbook died on me ( failure in rear exhaust fan -> hdd disk overheat -> died) and i lost half of my mp3 collection. so yah. these days very bored, keeping downloading music. songs i downloaded today-

1. thai version of i will survive
2. regine velasquez's i dun wanna miss a thing
3. lea salonga's on my own (yes theres a filipino thing going on here)
4. regine velasquez's fallin'

wo i love fallin'. first heard it many many moons ago in srt's production of 'they're playing our song', with lea salonga! first time i saw her live. hopefully not the last. anyway i like the song so i thought i will share it with u people here.

fallin'

I’m afraid to fly and I don’t know why
I’m jealous of the people who are not afraid to die
It’s just that I recall, back when I was small
Someone promised that they’d catch me
Then they let me fall
And now I’m fallin’
Fallin’ fast again
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love?

You’d think by now I’d learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be, oh so warm
That’s why I return
Turn and walk away
That’s what I should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says I found you
And now I’m fallin’
Fallin’ fast again
Why do I always take a fall when I fall in love.

It always turns out the same.
Loving someone, losing myself,
Only got me to blame.
Help me, I’m fallin'
Fallin’, catch me if you can.
Maybe this time I’ll have it all
Maybe I’ll make it after all
Maybe this time I won’t fall when I fall in love.

sooo feelin feeling. i like. :D

just found 'i stil believe in love' by lea salonga. i lurve limewire. i remember that i almost cried with her when i heard her sing that song in jubilee hall in what, 1999? still remembers how she broke down on stage (with real tears! i see also ximtia) but that crystal clear voice of hers still continues to soar.

its going to be one longgggggggggggg freeling fweeling night.

help! anyone can tell me the tamil translation for good citizen / 好公民 / rakyat yang baik?

aiyo if only i can get hold of a copy of that cover now! or a peekture of that book somewhere....

hmm.. okie i just joined a tamil community on LJ. hope that will do the trick!

yeah. 1 more week to go before my dissertation is due. can't wait for submission actually, coz that will mark the end of the 'david-writes-bad-english-and-can't-paraphrase(plagiarise)' period. and 20-30% of my final grade will be more or less doomed. oh well, just looking forward to next fri. most probably i will catch a train up birmingham to pay stacy a visit. havent seen her in agesssssss. and i need to pass her the cleo and style magazine as well. or maybe i will fly back singapore to help construct some models. hehe.

woo. i realise i like manual, technical, boring stuff like cutting and pasting. really. or typesetting text. i really can't write for nuts. sianz. can't wait to finish writing (hopefully by tonight) so that i can start designing all those rubbish words into a nice nice book. hehe.

amidst writing my stupid dissertation, i have been influenced to join the enlai-kiat-melvin-nick gang aka. the 'i love mariah' fanclub. yes, i confess. i have been downloading clips of mariah's live performance through www.mariahdaily.com/multimedia/index.shtml every now and then while taking a break. no no. me not a fan (yet), i just like watching her live performances. i dun mind other singers as well, but all these mariah fans very good, have a very comprehensive site, everything downloadable is on one page. nice. easy for me, dun have to search here and there. and ya, i am still every amazed(amused) when mariah does her dolphin call. hehe. or how violently she shakes her hand while trying to reach those high notes. or how unglam or gek sai her expression is when she sings live. or how she will cautiously wait a few moments after lip-syncing to a song, then murmur a live 'thank u'. heheh. very entertaining. but then, shes good la. really.

okie la! back to work! wish me luck!

*poof*

Everything touches, life interweaves
Starlight and wood smoke, ashes and leaves
Birdsong and thunder, acid and rain
Everything touches, unbroken chain

Rainstorm and rainbow, warrior and priest
Stingray and dolphin, beauty and beast
Heartbeat and high tide, ebb tide and flow
The universe in a crystal of snow

Snowdrop and deathcap, hangman and clown
Walls that divide come tumbling down
Seen through the night, the glimmer of day
Light is but darkness worn away

blackness and whiteness, sunset and dawn
Those gone before, those yet to be born
Past and future, distance and time
Atom to atom, water to wine

Look all around and what do you see?
Everything touches, you're touching me
Look all around and what do you see?
Everything touches, you're touching me.

my friend just sent me the link for this year's female 50 gorgeous people! wa lau the peektures all so chio! how come my year so lau-pok one? i feel so cheated. :p

http://www.female50gp.com/gallery.htm

styling very nice hor? and nice work by the photographer, makeup artist and digital artist! (come on la, sure got photoshop one, wanna bruff who?) hmm... click on the guy's pics and realised that most of them are wearing this same black topman jacket (which i have!). and this black skinny tie (which i also have!) also appeared a few times. why when i wear, things just look different har? hmm.. from now onwards i shall just resign to fate! and just stay behind the camera lens. :D

on another note, my laptop's been acting weird on me. should i spend £59 to upgrade to osx TIGER? or should i just wait till my lappie kaPUT! then do something about it? hmm.. its pretty amazing that with educational discount, the price for tiger is relatively cheaper here in UK than Singapore. But then again, that wouldnt deter me from going around sch to borrow a *pirated* copy. :D

i have officially 19 more days to work on my final year 6000 word dissertation and project. someone, pls help me press the panic button, coz to be honest, i am still pretty chilled out (for now la). die. got tutorial at 12 noon later, and ive got nothing to show. :P:P

dun care la. tired. go sleep.

chio right? designed by zaha, nominated for riba stirling prize 2005. results out tomorrow!

check it out at www.channel4.com/stirling

finally summoned enuff courage to meet up this afternoon at plaza sing. was running late coz i've decided not to be a pirate and actually drop by that cd shop to get a new cd rather than burning one. and the underpass from the mrt to ps was surely super damn bloody confusing. once at ps, i managed to get my orientation right, and walked towards macdonalds.

and suddenly, i experienced a weird sense of deja vu. i thought i saw u at the counter in that same yellow t, that same pair of jeans, that familiar bag, and u telling me that its actually your birthday, and i could actually feel that tinge of guilt for not remembering and bring along a present.

but things have changed. the macs has been replaced by a BK. this time round, i did bring along a present, but i guess its 3 years late.

things seems to be pretty much the same, but both of us know that this time round, its really different. theres alot of things which i wanted to ask and wanna know, but i guess it really doesnt matter.

i wish u happiness.

我恨我爱你

歌手：张惠妹 专辑：真实

面带微笑离开你怀里
我听天由命
最后一张王牌在手里
二选一的机率
不能放纵爱你
就放过自己
爱情已经过了甜蜜期
多说也是无益
爱不爱我已经没关系
一点小伤而已
你可以很放心
我不会为了留你
假装可怜兮兮
都怪我太不争气
我恨我爱你
oh~我爱你
只是因为你是你
oh~我恨你
你有我看也看不清的小聪明
你有我说也说不完的坏脾气
你有我数也数不尽你的⋯
新恋情
没关系⋯
我有你拿也拿不走的旧回忆
我可以一个人安静的忘记你
我恨你最后那一句
我爱你

haven't updated in a really long while. so here goes. with pics of course. haha. i am such a cam whore. warning: very random pics and comments!


thats me(wa i actually show face on my blog!) on the left and my 2 best classmates. caroline is the girl in the middle and shes from taiwan and i REALLY want to go visit her. shes such a sweetheart and because of the d&ad competition, we've grown really close. and she got a super stylo mylo dress sense! joyce is on the right and she's an exchange student from USA. she's the other best pal i've made in the past year and so sad. shes back in usa already. oh well. but at least we do keep in contact and still chat over msn sometimes.



yes. i watched ndp.


and yes. i am responsible for that cover. shh.. i can hear your ÉEEEEKS! from where i stay in tampines.


nj aep outing. sigh. make me feel old only. but its nice meeting and chating up with friends. must have another session soon before i leave.










exhibition opening. thanks to all of u who have turned up. so touched. really. now i can use both hands and legs to count the number of pals i have. i will do a better job next year la. promise. :D


currently trying to finish up poster for nus dance ensemble's next wave. hmm.. not nice leh. still doing still changing.









did a shoot for this dance group called dance horizon a few weeks back. not bad la. quite fun working with dancers. :D i think this is wat i really enjoy doing :D now i need to wait for money to drop down from the sky and buy a new digicam before i go back. my 5 megapixel nikon coolpix can't satisfy me anymore. i need a better cam so i can do stuff like this! (see below)


did the promo for cake's animal vegetable mineral. i love working with natalie and sharon. and of course, its better when the stuff u do turns out nice. don't happen to me often nowdays leh. anyway, do support this new theatre group. check out www.caketheatre.com

okie thats all from me for now. been feeling down recently. just watched eric khoo's be with me at tampines mall. i love watching movies alone. i need to spend more 'me' time. will post soon.

Here is your horoscope for Sunday, July 31:

Right out of the blue, a romantic proposition will arrive -- an
extremely attractive one. You'll be more than happy to accept the offer, and
you'd be foolish not to. Be sure all parties concerned are honest.

almost 4 hours pass liao. still nothing happen leh. horoscope cheat my feeling sia.

been pretty moody recently. went out with my jc aep bunch last night, and its really nice catching up with people whom i havent met for a really long time. i realised that i am a very lazy friend. i am one whom wouldnt bother calling my friends up, or asking them out. i guess i have reverted back to my old private self. wanted to share with aep folks alot of stuff about myself, but i decided not to. just plastered on my usual plastic smiley face, hoping they wouldnt detect my sense of loneliness.

i feel unhappy. feels like something is eating my happiness away. hmm... i feel that the happy-go-lucky side of me is slowly drifting off. things have been going well for me recently, but i am not happy. maybe its because i dont have anyone to share my happiness with.

i feel old. all the gals are working - mindy is happily at sph, les a lawyer, and yilin is now ms lu at njc. and even jh is starting to look for a job liao.hmm... time flies.

i feel lonely la. almost everyone last night was attached. except me.

aya. i have so much things to be busy with, but dunno leh. i am just not in the mood for it. dunno what/who/why am i doing all these for also. i need a holiday i think. go for some cheap cheap holiday with someone special. but now, no money and no one special to go with me.

aya. why am i complaining? i shall organise a getaway with mel and b. go sentosa, drink milo also can.

me trying to do funky graphics. haha. so un-me. :P

this marks my first public entry for 2005. things change, people change, and it came to a point where things finally came to a close. promises were broken, words erased, and today, memories deleted.

been sulking to myself the whole day. i know what the reason for that is, but i simply refused to acknowledged it. as harsh and brutal as i try to be, i can't. i've tried to severe all ties, but i couldn't bear to delete those journal entries that we shared. but since the entire journal is now being removed, i guess its really time for me to move on. i'm such a whimpy whiny sentimental freak.

"move on!" the entire congregation screams. okie. i hear u.

life has been good. been pigging out since christmas, and for the first time in my life, i REALLY dun care how i look/dress/weigh. spring's already here, and everyone seems to be getting into the exercise mode except for me. sheesh. fat is good. tummy is better.

sch is ok. just came back from a talk by my tutor for his book launch (Penguin by Design) and its great to know that i have quite a celebrity tutor. members of the public were like queueing up for his autograph after the talk, and my classmates and i were like " er.. so crowded. we'll get philly to sign for us at our crit next week."

been watching quite a number of movies lately (both dvds and in the theatre). dunno. i still get pretty sentimental whenever i walk into a movie theatre, especially vue at islington, coz it looks so much like golden village. almost felt as if i am back in singapore, and as if that someone is sitting beside me.

*change topic*

friends have been coming to visit, which is good. enlai came a couple of weeks ago, and very very nice doing things with him, which i wouldnt usually do myself. nothing beats shopping at h&m followed by a musical night out. alan came today, met up with him for a while, and robin should be here by now too. juli and adrian are coming next week. yeah. happiness.

my second year here is finishing soon. never before have i felt the need to go back singapore, till now. maybe its because of the series of events happening back at home, and i feel that i really need to be back at home to provide my parents with some support. and i really really miss my sis.

wonder how everyone is back in singapore. hmm.. i wanna go night safari. any takers?
