Event: "The One" Qualifying Round
Venue: LT4
Day & Date: Thursday, 01/02/07
Commencement Time: 1730~1800
Participating Strength: 24 soloists; 8 groups
Reasons for the Above Arrangments:EVENT - There are no vocabulary problems in calling the audition the Preliminary Round and the semi-finals the Qualifying Round.
*VENUE - There will somehow be tons of sane NY peeps who will come and watch, hence filling the 600 seater LT because it
doesn't matter that there is school on Friday.
*DAY & DATE - As stated previously, it
doesn't matter that there is school on Friday.
*COMMENCEMENT TIME - Timetable is the root of all evil.
*PARTICIPATING STRENGTH - They figure that it is okay for ALL participants to perform an item of roughly 5 minutes each and end the whole event by who-knows-what-time (at least 9 p.m.) because once again, it
doesn't matter that there is school on Friday.
Remarks: Hallelujah to all J2s who read H2 Econs because there is an 1 hour lecture test on Friday which determines if you are required to attend remedial lessons. This includes yours truly. *dry laughter*

This is shocking, jaw dropping, astounding, appalling and absolutely outrageous. With my disgustingly revolting voice akin to a sound produced by a mutated crow-rooster, I actually made it pass the audition to the Qualifying Round of NY's The One :O
Really,
how the hell? I mean, I don't feel exhiliarated or elated, because I'm fully aware my singing was down in the dumps that day! o_O I'm really skeptical of the standard of this year's The One =/ Of course I deserve a smack across the cheek from those who didn't pass the audition for saying all these bullshit, but this is my heartfelt sentiment. Haiz it's like the lousiest tennis player in School A emerging as champion when he transfers to School B. I'll be very doubtful of his jubilance over his victory.
Anyway, it's still good news right =D And of course
A BIG THANK YOU and
WARM HUGS to all my sweet and supportive friends!^^ You guys rock!!! =P But hoho, my voice is still...*sighs* You get what I mean? ='(

Just One Last Dance
Just one last dance (Oh baby)
Just one last dance
We meet in the night in the Spanish café
I look in your eyes
Just don’t know what to say
It feels like I’m drowning in salty water
A few hours left till the sun’s gonna rise
Tomorrow will come, it's time to realize
Our love is finished forever
How I wish to come with you
How I wish we make it through
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn around, around, around
It's like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cuz the night is getting cold and I
Don’t know where I belong
Just one more dance
The wine and the lights and the Spanish guitar
I never forget how romantic they are
But I know, tomorrow I lose the one I love
There’s no way to come with you
Here’s the only thing to do
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn around, around, around
Its like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cuz the night is getting cold and I
Don’t know where I belong
Just one last dance
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn around, around, around
Its like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cuz the night is getting cold and I
Don’t know where I belong
Just one last dance
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn around, around, around
Its like the first time
(When we sway and turn around
And hold me tight
Come on, my love)
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cuz the night is getting cold and I
(Night is getting cold and I)
Don’t know where I belong
(Don't know where I belong)
Just one last dance
Just one last dance
And just one more chance
And just one last dance...--
Heard this awesome song yesterday =) I know the lyric's kinda sucky -_- But the singing is somewhat intriguing and arresting ^^
Sarah Connor: Just One Last Dance
Sarah Connor (feat. Natural): Just One Last Dance
*click to download song =DThere are 2 versions to the song...The solo one is the original and is a track in Sarah Connor's "Key to My Soul" album, whereas the duet was released as a single afterward because she had been heavily pregnant then and didn't have time to promote her album o_O (Though her album sales fared well nonetheless) And this indeed boosted the popularity of the song. Tsk tsk, marketing strategy :O
Hoho anyway this song is pretty old so you might've heard it before =) Haha I'm slow ^^

Hohohohehehehahaha...
My audition was an utter disaster. Thanks to my husky voice =) Of all the days in a year, I have to catch a flu NOW. Yahoo~~~ *voice cracks* Oh I've forgotten: my voice is in a pretty bad shape; okay correction, my voice?! What voice?! All I can hear is a screechy and scratchy yet deep and dry noise rumbling from my throat. Ha.
I've lost 50% of my voice by the time my turn came (Hallelujah to the wonderful chilly weather, NY's amazing full blast air-cons and my hectic timetable. It's a miracle if I can recover at all -_-), and the remaining 50% is at the brink of breaking at the high notes which is exactly what most of the chorus is made up of. Wow. I was trying to muster all my strength and hit the keys that my expression is that of a constipated person
I believe. So a short and sweet summary will be: My singing = Crow's cawking.
I'm not disappointed or sad, really. Neither am I feeling it's a pity. Perhaps I've learnt to resign to fate already? *shrugs*

Damn damn damn.I'm so so screwed. My throat's kinda raspy and ticklish. And I so want to rip it apart X( The point is, tomorrow is the bloody auditions. I've drank warm water for the entire day that I visited the toilet AT LEAST 8 times (sickening fact is that I ended school at only 5:30 p.m. today), drowned down a few tablespoons of 枇杷膏 and popped in 2 panadol pills. But there isn't any 起色! *growls* Getting more and more irritable by the second...
Sorry, I'm in damp spirits ='(

My Tuesdays are a freakin' waste of time =( I only have to attend an Econs lecture and a HCL P1 tutorial but I get hold up till 2:00p.m.! Haiz plus the
shattering heartening fact that Tuesdays are CT days = time with Gerda =
hell paradise ='( Of course nothing can beat my 5 hours break last year...So it seems that I used to be in the 18th level of Hell and now I've risen to roughly the 10th. How nice, huh? ^^
Am delighted that Miao, WS and Haogay are visiting tomorrow! (As in, visiting NY, not a prison or asylum) Yay finally get to see those bunch of funny people again! =D It's been some time since we sit down and crap! Especially now that my JC life's kinda dreary...Urgh not enough bian tai people to hang out with! And their lameness are not up to expectations! Suffice to say, school stinks =(
Well, shall update again later if time and mood permit =P
Ciao!

Oh boy I survived another week! *hoots* Sometimes I think the timetable committee lack the grey matter because they find it pretty fine to end my Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays at around 2:00/2:30pm, but my Thursdays & Fridays at 5:00/5:30pm. I mean, don't terms like "equal distribution" occur in their dictionaries?! Such nincompoops =(
And I think many ex-NY peeps are unaware, but it is now official that school commences 15 minutes later. Which means assembly starts at 8:00 and the entire schedule gets delayed accordingly. Don't ask me which bloody asshole requested for this retarded arrangement (dear Quek said it was the seniors from last year o_O) but I certainly doubt so since the staff body agreed readily to it. Hmph X( However, not forgetting that they've changed the weekly Staff Contact to Monday 0800--0900, hence we only need report to school by 0900 every Monday =) But that's the only bonus of the whole affair so there's nothing to be happy about, really. Okay I'm cynical =P
Seriously, what's so good about everything being put off?
1) The sun gets irritatingly glaring and searing during morning assembly since flag raising begins at 0740 ='(
2) My day ends LATER!!! That's what really sucks.
3) I will be extremely delighted to see the minute hand of the clock pointing at the number '3' or '9' because that's when the bell goes = end of lesson, only realising I've been duped because it now rings at either '6' or '12' under the new time system. What the hell.
So what if you get an additional 15 minutes of sleep time every morning? Not like it's any form of compensation for us since the timetable is neither shortened nor is the number of hours in a day lessened, it's still the same cycle on and on, just pushed back. Unless the late-coming count decreases but it's apparently not happening! There are still tons of people cramming into the school gate way past time every morning! Someone please tell me then, what's the idea?!
Hoho and today is Haogay's birthday ^^
Happy Birthday Gay!!! =D Haha heard that he's commanding quite a handsome pay of $10--$13/hour pasting stickers at Boon Lay. I was dumbfounded to learn about it o_O Must be some kind of expensive stickers I guess? =)

To those high up above:1) I will
NEVER call Ninja 'Ninja' again. I'll just murmur it inaudibly and give a broad friendly smile in his presence.
2) I'll bid farewell to Ninja
EVERYDAY and not let him crawl off lonesomely.
3) I'll volunteer to polish his shell as C.I.P.
4) I'll
NOT rank him as no. 7 (aka the last position) in our guys' ranking survey anymore. In that case, our surveys will revolve around the theme of "Most Handsome Reptile/Amphibian (I'm not sure what he is)" or "Highest Probability of Suffering From Spinal Distortion (his shell is heavy I guess, but is he an invertebrate then?)" etc.
5) I will
try my very best to BEFRIEND him.
Okay then, in order for me to repent and atone for my past sins, please retract time to 2 years ago. Pretty please? I'll embrace and love Loke wholeheartedly this time round =)
Yours BeautifullyZhi Xin aka MVW--
I miss S5C and everyone =( I know I've said this countless times already =( haiz.

Hoho pardon this post of mine for I'm gonna blabber about The One =P The annual singing competition of NY!!!
Yes folks, it's coming again! *lukewarm polite clapping* Thanks loh.
Anyway as you might've guessed it already, yes, yours truly is going to take part in it AGAIN!!! *everyone raises eyebrows and steers gaze elsewhere* Fine fine, just wanna let you all know beh! =D
Auditions next Fri lah, not putting much thought into it yet...Lotsa homework and stuff =( Somewhat of a consolation is that a few of my classmates are also participating, hence I'm more at ease with company! =) Why didn't anyone else in S5C join me the last time? *pouts* But they were all so sweet to come watch me! Estel too XD 爱你们哟~!
Hoho wish me luck! I've got no idea why am I so HIGH about this when it's more than a week away...But it's just me, haha^^

如果要在‘變態’和‘正常’之間二選一的話,我會選擇變態。
因爲變態是正常人内心的其中一面,
而正常是一個變態病情惡化的表現。
因此,我是正常的階梯的變態大使=)

BACK FROM HIATUS!!! ^^Hoho been missing me? =D *silence* Silence means consent!!! =) I knew it!
Anyway...it's January again. One of the most detestable months of the year (no offence to Jan babies =P) because it shakes you awake from your December slumber and thrust you into the monstrous face of SCHOOL!!! That's for me lah. Heh but this will be the LAST year I'll be hating the transition of years since January most likely won't be the start of any shitty business anymore, whether I make it to the U or not =)
And yay seems like MOST of the peeps have managed to settle on a job (no regards yet to whether it being desirable or not beh) which I want to weep and bawl about...Why the hell did it take me almost one WHOLE month two years back before landing myself into a revoltingly distastful job?! =( But on second thoughts, AT LEAST I know NEVER ever to WORK in a restaurant again as a kitchen helper, especially one that recycles its tartar sauce and the poor helper was the one being entasked to do that dirty job. What the hell! Can you imagine me having to dig/pick/clip out the fritter crumbs from the sauce and and spooning the rest back into the sticky container where the sides have turned yellow and the label all wrinkled and torn?! Which is why I always mouth my prayers to the customers who order Fish & Chips because:
a) They might get food poisoning
b) They might develop raspy throats or contract other severe diseases since the fish and fries were deep-fried in oil that is only changed once a month
c) They have foolishly parted with $28 for some junk as their lunch/dinner
Moral of the story:
Don't work for some assholes for over 2 months and committing yourself to whole loads of crappy work while commanding $5/hour and also, DON'T order Fish & Chips. (Never ask about the rest of my work experience, it will scare you stiff and make me all agonised =/)
Back to the point, I guess not all had gotten satisfactory jobs especially Miao. As for some guys, they've already plunged into the bottomless pit of endless marching/drilling/cheering/... to fight for our country and to create a better tomorrow for all, hence we should be vigilant and defend ourselves since no one owes us a living and yada yada yada; which can be summarised shortly into N.S. =P Jia you wo~, everyone! Know it's gonna be tough for this period of time, but it'll be over one day =) Haiz I should fret for myself too...I'm in such deep shit I'm starting to be unable to see light (not literally). Though the ONLY console is that my timetable is pretty pleasing:
NO MORE 5 HOURS BREAK! =) For those who'd gone through a drought, even dung is whetting (sorry, bad analogy) so any timetable which doesn't have MORE breaks that lessons is GOOD ^^
And I must say this: I MISS S5C and all the funny/lame/biantai people that sadly, have now graduated =( Urgh not that my class is sucky or anything, but it's VERY clique-ish and it seems that between each cliques there are invisible walls and barricades. It can get sick and tiring to have to huddle among your own group of friends and careful not to cross the line. I mean we're all in this together so what's all this differentiation for?! Hmph. Just hoping that as the days go by the obstacles will vanish...but I'm quite skeptical about it =( Especially when I think about my C.T. who is apparently one of the most NORMAL and POPULAR beings in school *sobs*
So it all amounts to my favourite line of all time: Fate is CRUEL. Let's try to look at the bright side lah. *pouring torrents outside* Okay, it's the rainy season, I get it.
