November came and went
Some memories i would like to keep. You've probably seen them on facebook, but these are PRICELESS snaps worth revisiting.












And this was actually a potluck at Joyce's house from August. yum yum. Feel hungry now.

Be Amazing everytime.
I've also been catching up on Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance, just a few more episodes to get myself up to date. Been putting it off because school was crazy and i had to stop myself from loading episodes. Now that ive finally gotten around to doing so, was absolutely devastated that Paula TURNED DOWN a spot in top 20 wtffff and that Billy Bell fell ill and dropped out!?!? And then his replaced got kicked out on the first night itself. I was so sad. :(
& Hearts to Doriana Sanchez. She's the most unappreciated choreographer and I LOVE her to bits. her routines are so amazing.

As i watch them I feel a 3rd foot growing out from my side, I am so so horrible right now. I must also be the only dork who always cries during the auditions. Tyce Diorio said, "Be Amazing everytime" and this is something that Im going to remember everytime i go on stage because i think i forgot. Because somehow, somewhere along the road, it became preprogrammed and robotic. Too many steps and no connections.

Dance was meant to be liberating for me, but somehow it always chained me down. Over time it left a bitter taste in my mouth and i stopped to...maybe i stopped to get far away from it. To disconnect for a while, try out other things. Now i need to open my arms and grow, learn to love again and become better. Or perhaps not.

But no matter, Be Amazing everytime.

Batam Trip!
We went on a public holiday so the ferry terminal was PACKED with people. The queue check in was snaking around the pillars. It would have taken you a good 1 hour or so of lining up - except that both of us only reached there 8.30am and our boat was scheduled to leave at 9am so in the end we managed to take the express lane. Tee hee.




They call Batam the island of Mistresses and i TOTALLY KNOW WHY. throughout the whole trip Nic kept fondling with his mistress. Shit man. I damn angry!!!! *smashes his bb*


We had a 3/4 day tour so we managed to burn up almost a whole day looking around the city area. Didnt manage to get to the beach because it would have cost you a $15 cab ride there.

The tour took us to some conveniece shops, temple, seafood lunch, 'cultural' show, fake goods store. lol. 6 out of 10 shops in all the shopping centers specialize in fake goods and prices always start at about S$100. Cant even bother to bargain with them because they were really horrible rip offs.

Oh and that big bottle of vodka was like $4.



Nic's other mistress - Teh Botol. Nah, give you one big photo collarge as a tribute.

But between you and me, it has a really smelly aftertaste. I dont know how else to discribe it. it really is sort of smelly, like a mutton-y taste. After you get used to the aftertaste, its just like really sweet tea.




Checking into our SUPA AWESOME HOTEL which is right next to the newest Ngoya Hill Shopping Center. It takes you 3 mins to walk there which is a godsend. I think we got the best hotel around the area because as the tour bus was dropping off the other passengers at their hotels, I Hotel was in the most convenient area and looked the cleanest and newest.

Nic and I were very happy when we stepped in.

My mother will give a thumbs up to the kettle, complimentary mineral water given everyday, toiletries, extra pillows and even a bolster!!!




Breakfast - they serve fresh waffles!

I LOVED the kimchi and potato wedges. Ok very weird combination i know, but the kimchi they served was a little sweeter and had a less pungent garlin taste. yum. and the wedges are to die for because they were home made, and not the instant type you get freeze dried. zomg i love home make wedges!! The best part about the hotel is that they change the menu everyday.





Random shopping finds. the household goods here are really cheap. Everything else, not quite. 1 Beng Beng chocolate bar is $0.15, and it was actually pretty good. Their mini yakult is $1 for a pack of 5, and their fake Rabbit/Panda Candy, i didnt check, but you know you've made it big when people start to make fakes of you.




Date Night! This is when i stopped going out looking like a monster with no makeup and slipshod outfits.

The quintessential date where we bought tickets for a movie ($3 each!!!!!) , had a lovely steak dinner at the hotel then finished off with ice cream crepes ($1.50). So lomantic. It was actually also our XXX monthsary. I dont keep track nowadays but its kinda cute looking back on it.



Random photos that i strung together. Nice, big comfy room, warm jacuzzi, open air lap pool, silly faces. Batam was nothing short of awesome, of course i guess it was mainly the company. ;)

All about the muscles
Just came home from a Ninja Assassin and I must say it was pretty good. I love all this 'exotic' ninja hi-ya(!) kinda action with secret clans and black sand packets. But it was gory and gross at the same time. I had to keep telling myself it's all fake so that I would stop flinching at all the decapitated limbs and spurting blood.

http://thoughtsonfilms.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/ninja-assassin-rain_l.jpg

I heard all Rain ate during filming was chicken and vegetables without any seasoning whatsoever. Sound horribly torturous.

Also managed to watch New Moon while I was at Batam which was in retrospect, extremely boring. Ugh, such fan fiction.

The only reason why I wanted to watch it was because Dakota Fanning was in it and she got about 5-10 minutes of footage in that extremely long drawn movie. I do not understand the hype about Edward Cullens who looks skinny and sickly - compared to Jacob Black whom is woah, ripped. Nic and I were lusting over his sick body together haha!

And the perfect thing about it is that his costume is just a pair of bemudas. Wonderful! Topless 95% of the time made the show worth it.




Need to blog about Batam because it was so awesomeeee X 1000000! Everyone kept asking why Batam - Batam so boring, Batam got nothing to do, why you dont go Bintan instead, Bintan nicer, why Batam. Batam was great! I would totally want to go again. Will elaborate in my Batam post.

Study hard you guys.

Today is a SUPADAY!!!
Why?

Because it's the last day of SCHOOOLLLLL!!! I have 11 more days of torture and I'm freeee!

And also because I got the internship at Edxlmxn which i will probably be taking up. Hxll & Knxwltxn just called me this morning for an interview. Drats, how do I say no?

And very randomly, i won a Book Prize for one of my modules (Writing for Comm Management)!!!! I dont know if it's because hard work actually pays off or if it's because i got lucky because really, hard work rarely pays of in NUS. you've got to be BORN smart AND work hard. Tell me, how to survive like that.

anyway unfortunately i wasnt in lecture to receive it. So when Irving msged me my first reaction was, "huh what's that, did i win a book?"



After I get back my results this is what i really want to do.




Nobody will understand how desparately i am trying to pull up my cap to a 4.0 :(




Sidenote: OMFGGG RUSSEL IS THE BEST SURVIVOR PLAYER EVAAAAA

Lessons of Life!

I think it is ok to feel sad once in a while right... Even though I don't really have something to get sad over. Seems like this is just an emotional dip on a lousy night which has left me wondering about soulmates. Do we have that special someone out there who feels what you feel without you having to say why?

That person would just know..and thats enough to make me feel comforted.

Pervy Photographers? More like Girls who dont value self-worth.
Xiaxue's recent post on lecherous photographers got me feeling quite indignant for innocent photographers out there. I think it takes 2 hands to clap so if some girl is willing to bare all for a random stranger, (welding an expensive camera), who is anyone to judge the photographers and allude that they photograph with dispicable intentions ?

I believe that any self-respecting girl would NEVER pose for such photo shoots with those types of poses and looks. Lingerie shoots can be respected when done tastefully and beautifully.

so anyway in the post, she lambastes the so called pervy photographers... but has nothing to say about the models who are readily and agreeably posing for them. I dont quite understand this catch. Because if you condone what the models are doing, why criticise the photographers?

I also noticed that she picked the ugliest and sluttiest photos from ECPerez's photo stream and left out all the other photographs he has taken of scenery, still objects and his friends. Im not a photographer and i dont know what they do with their photos, but that's ultimately his own business - because someone paid him to do it, or he paid for it. 2 willing parties, what's the fault there?

She also kindly left out her best friend Kay Kay from the pictures even. Well of course you wouldnt want to criticise your friend. Any decent person would not be that mean. But it is undesputable that Kay Kay does such shoots. so KK in a bikini - Would these have been potential captions left by XX as she did with the other girls?




" breasts too small that's why must SQUEEZE together with one hand is it?"




" face is trying to hard"



"bathing but then cannot wet the hair!!"



Well i think we should hear the other side of the story.

some models OPENLY solicit for photographers to come and shoot them in their lingerie like such threads.




"Support our photoshoot!""Kay Kay and Xuesha's lingerie shoot FTW"

If this is the case can you blame the photographer? The girls are pretty well ASKING FOR IT! and as with every photo shoot, the model has the prerogative to decide whether or not she wants to pose in lingerie. I believe the model also has the prerogative to decide what poses she does. if she upholds moral standards, there's no way the photographer can make her do some soft porn pose.

For that matter, i actually think the photos that this guy takes are really good and obviously displays professional skill. It's just that sometimes his subjects look slutty which makes some of his photography look cheap.

Case in point, Another model from his photostream:




I dont know about you but this is what i think. it's a women, in a bikini, flashing her boobs, BUT IT LOOKS TASTEFUL. Some people can look sexy with class, while others cant.


And another thing is that these models LOVE to post their half-naked pcitures on their blogs, facebook, wherever for all to see. There is obviously a MUTUAL want. Photographers to take pictures of them, half-naked pictures for them to post on their blog. sounds like a win-win situation so to suddenly jump in accuse photographers is biased.

So we come to the chicken and the egg question. Are the photographers being gross for taking such shots or are the girls being __________(insert suitable word) for allowing photographers to take such shots of them?


Supply; Demand. Basic economics.

Big Money
recently i decided that selling Fruit Juice was pretty damn lucrative and the proof is not in the pudding, but at the NUS Arts Canteen. They're doing so well they close at 4pm everyday because everything is sold out, and the Auntie comes to work in her plastic boots, apron and Chanel Bag.

Today, i have discovered something even more lucrative - ARCADES.

should have realised this earlier, but obviously i dont go to arcades and i dont play arcade games.

i went there for about the 3rd time in my life over Saturday and watched all these mindless people slot in dollar after dollar after dollar and more dollars to play games!!! I dont understand!! What is the point!! and I especially do not see the point in that basketball game where all you do is throw balls into the hoops.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - those CLAW VENDING MACHINES with soft toys inside. wow. those pull in the money man.




"darling i wanttttt that toooyyy!!! get for me!!"


total damage for 4 teeny toys - $30!? I have to add that we picked a relatively easy machine where all you had to do was to yank a keychain off a hook. The claw machines really seem quite impossible.

It's actually quite funny. It's almost like a symbol of manhood as they hold up their acquired toys they valiantly clawed for their girlfriends.

ah heros!
