the academy is.. (Saturday, June 20, 2009 / 11:22 PM)
the academy is... one of the best bands i've ever known. it's not only the melody that serenades you, but the lyrics that make you wanna hear the song over and over again. omg... william is so good at writing poetry which also makes him good at writing songs. i brought this up because i just visited his blog... haha. i never thought so deep about it. but come to think of it, it's worth thinking bout it... i saw this post quite long ago like about a week and i went back to his older posts and searched for it. here it is...
Pressed against the force-fed silhouette of our youth, too close to see what’s really been happening to you. I’m feeling like I’ve been rinsed through and wrung out, spread flat and hung down across a long wire to drip dry. And while I have this time, it gets harder to remember why and what I’ve brought onto myself. I think about where you are now, and what you last laughed about. I think about how you’ve been since the reckless weeknight binges and runarounds. All while I’ve been trying my best to forget everything I know I should have said…
“Take my conscience and your instincts.
Add equal parts and stir, don’t shake.
And once you’re feeling satisfied,
or convince yourself you’ve made it,
twist the cap and take a look inside.
Take a look at what you’ve created.
By the hole of your mouth, or by the whole of your head?”
how's that?
the academy is...

racial harmony vid (Friday, June 19, 2009 / 9:54 PM)
okay, so basically, me xenia, anila, speed and shu jian are taking part in this racial harmony contest. me, xenia and anila are in one grop. we decided to make a video. although the whole process was really draggy and tiring, we had a lot of fun doing it. first, i took 2 hours too rewrite the song "cupid's chokehold" to have lyrics that is appropriate to the theme. the next day, me and xenia took like 3 hours just to record the song and edit.
a lot went wrong on the way. we kept singing the song wrongly and had to record the song over and over again. then the next day, me, xenia and si ya took about 4 hours to video everything. after videoing, lyn came and we were discussing on something or rather, gossiping... we had lots of fun. that's what girls are good at... gossiping. okay, maybe doing that is not "healthy" but it's a lot of FUN!! then we played com games. then everyone left at 6.30. after that, i took 2 hours to edit the vid. and today, i passed the vid to anila. from what i heard from anila, ms yeo was quite impressed. anila edited it further and we finally had our end product. i'm really satisfied with it.
next we have another competition called NEmation. that is more challenging and we have to work on a storyboard next week. the theme is like "why do i care about s'pore" any ideas anyone?? haha... anyway, i'm seriously addicted to "naruto" it's some sort of and anime cartoony thingy thing... i spent the whole day watching it today and the past few days too. and it was all thanks to my sis. i remember i was like telling my sis why watch this, it's so stupid and stuff like that. in the end, i spend more time watching it than she does. but it's really nice. i'm like one season behind my sis... gotta catch up! and i LOVE niga higa, the guy is quite good looking too. i'm saying ryan higa, no the others.

So on Sunday, I went to xenia’s bbq along with jes, her sis, si ya and lyn. I had a fun time there. I reached first and we waited for the rest to come. I saw the stuff toy that I wanted… it was so cute. We went to the games room and played pool. The rest came and played table tennis and table soccer. We seriously sucked at table tennis. Me and si ya were playin that. Then we played table soccer with jes’s sis. Si ya teamed up with her, but guess what? I still won. NO ONE CAN BEAT THE CHAMPION!!! Nah, I’m just kidding. We went back to the house, had some coke and helped prepare for the bbq. We ate a lot of sausages and crab sticks and satay. Me and jes’s sis ate a lot of crab… it was crazy, I was peeling the shell and my nail polish were being scraped off at the same time. Before that, me and xenia played basketball while waiting for our turn to get the food. The rest stayed there. Then some of the small boys kicked a ball onto a ledge and some were at the parent’s bedroom window trying to get it. Luckily we passed by and xenia got the ball down with the help of a bamboo stick. At around 8 to 9, we went to orchid country club to bowl. Si ya won. And we forgot to pay and left the venue. The lady called lyn up and the went the next day to pay. Before, we took some group photos. But they are with xenia. Gonna grab it from her if she posts it.
