OH I want to watch this musical! Too bad they're not touring in Asia yet. It's still a new Broadway musical...
Wicked. haha.












----------------------------------------------------------
I'm so irritated at my mum for waking me up so early when we're not even going out yet.
goodness it's already 4plus PM.
what a waste of time!
I could have done some other stuff; and I even got dressed and make up all done ok.

DON'T MAKE EMPTY PROMISES.
----------------------------------------------------------
Ytd for dinner, my parents suggested we go Chomp Chomp (people who don't know where this place is should be shot. Not forgiven even if you live in the West). lol.
anyway, it was so hard to wait for seats and I grew fed-up cuz,
why should we have to wait so long? I felt like a beggar.
Meanwhile, there was this guy at the table near where I was waiting at...who kept staring at me.
And he wasn't shy about letting me know he's staring cuz he kept looking for my gaze.

Irritant!
I hate such guys. What are you trying to do by staring at my eyes?!
sickening.
He was a beach boy, not bad but so what.
pissed me off.


LOL. really sickening loh. hate it when guys are so bold.

Reality

你唱的再好，也不一定能够出唱片。

可是你唱的不好，
也不一定不能出唱片。

现实。。。是不公平的。

omg I am sooooo excited about the commercial album from the ARC comp.
We had a production meeting today at 5pm.

It really makes me think; you gotta go out there to experience whether or not you will reap the seeds you sow.
Every little exposure helps to pave the path you want to thread on eventually.

Leon from PSS and Brods from Superband will be involved in the album too.

This is so exciting!!!
Please pardon the lack of vocab LOL.
everything's just "exciting" hahaha.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I finally watched the required video for Documentary Production (docpro) today with Eve...
It's titled [Nanook of the North].
it was such an eye opener despite being a bore at some points hahaha!
Now I know how eskimos lived...and it's really quite amazing!

I never thought I'd feel excitement at discussing projects at such a late hour despite having to wake up early tmr.
Ok, so 8am isn't very early...but stil... haha.

I was discussing the topics with Evelyn online, for our first documentary production assignment- Interviewing a Stranger.

We've come up with some people we could interview:

Embalmer
Ah Pehs who make items for dead people
Cemetary Keeper
People who put animals to sleep in SPCA

Are we MORBID or what!
I like.

hahhahaaha.
Omg I'm getting excited. I can't wait to shoot our first documentary!!

---------------------------------------------------
I headed over to Vivo to meet Iris and Sf to do a lil shopping b4 meeting the UV132 mates for dinner to celebrare Karin's birthday in advance.
Great time we had at dinner...
The prices at the HK cafe in Vivo is rather affordable! and the toast I ordered was yummy!

Can bring mum n dad there someday. :)

This morning, the student affairs person called my dad.

dumb. Then my dad was like "huh? you looking for Jinghui??"

Anyway the person said he'll call me on my hp later; which he did twice but I missed it.

Hello? I made the shuttle service complaint, call ME.
What are you doing calling my dad?! soooooooooooo dumb.

The person seemed sincere in learning feedback from me, tmr Jason and me will go talk to him in school. Clarence's comment damn funny:
"this time tell them MUST reserve a seat for you."

LOL...should I ask for Priority Queue? HAHAHA.

Ok I just wana ask them what they plan to do about this lah.

Radio journalism classes are cancelled for 2 weeks because Felix has reservist lol. So today, I only went back for Presentation Skills in Chinese class, aka Preschi.

Mr Kwek, (he is Yvonne Kwek's dad. yes, Yvonne from TKS haha), was quite fun. Not to mention the way he speaks mandarin just keeps you intrigued.

This is by far the most interesting lesson; perhaps cause it's entirely conducted in MANDARIN. This language feels sooo familiar and "at-home" when I hear it. aahh...

SO cool lah; this was the message on MEL.
Mon, Apr 16, 2007 -- 同学们好！
同学们，很盼望和你们见面。我已经把这学期的课业表上载到网上，请同学下载。我们明天课堂上见

This announcement in mandarin leh. I think Preschi will be so fun. WAHAHA.

Btw he also said our class had a new record. We have only 8 students in this class. haha. Well, I guess those typical students who totally detest mandarin are so losing out. :X

We were told to write 4 secrets/things about ourself. and here's what I wrote.

1）我想当歌手（或用声音当职业）

2）我非常怕猫和蛇

3）我常常迟到是因为选不好衣服所以不想出门

4）我很喜欢一个人逛街，读书， 等，等。 有时候在路上碰到朋友都不知道该不该打招呼，因为实在太喜欢独自一个人的时刻。

yup, I'm starting to think I am destined to be single forever LOL.

I sooo love shopping on my own! and taking long bus rides on my own, and reading on my own.
(I went Compass Pt on my own today, what's new, and I bought a pair of flat boots for $19! WEEE.)

I wouldn't want to go shop with my boyfriend unless he is a shopaholic like me. I don't like people following me when I shop, I'll feel obliged to talk to them or respond when I don't feel like it sometimes. LOL.
I sound so antisocial. But seriously, when I shop, I SHOP. I don't like "half-time"s. lol........

And I like long bus rides on my own. Unless I'm with a close friend who wouldn't mind sleeping on the bus or listening to my ipod and not have to chat the WHOLE TRIP. Of course I do chat on bus rides if we're in a group, but sometimes I don't know what to do if I'm just with ONE person, ya know?

Unless we can click damn well... hahaha. Like I can never stop talking with Catherine or Sonia or Iris, Desmond or Celester.
Or with Sulin and Steph who won't think I'm being dao when I'm quiet. hahaha.

Do I sound very complex? I'm actually very simple LAH.
-_-

I could never imagine going out with my bf on V Day like the thousand other pairs (YAWN)...or watch movies EVERY TIME WE HAVE A DATE.
HAIYO.
Can't fucking stand it. so boring.
Of course, I do watch movies lah....... =)
But perhaps instead of boring stuff, we can occasionally go to the zoo, or SG Discovery Centre, or watch a 3D movie instead etc. or take the Hippo/Duck tour LOL.
which I can actually just do with friends.

see! I don't see a need to have a boyfriend, for now.

ok I digressed...................................................................

haha. maybe I'm lesbian.

Celebs do share clothes.

awwwwww.......

Unlucky Monday the 16th -_-

Monday Blues is simply an understatement for my day today. I forgot to bring my phone. FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.

I've never had such a suay day. Freaking shit shuttle service at Hougang turned me away despite me being early.
and that was the start of my chain of unfortunate events.

I ended up having to take a train to potong pasir and then I wanted to top up my farecard and my ezlink got STUCK IN THE FREAKING MACHINE.

I got "stuck" at the station for about ten minutes.

Then I wanted to go wait for the buses to school and [142] took forever to come and as I wasn't wearing a watch, I checked my ipod (thank goodness!!) and the time was 7.36am.
wtf my lesson was at 8am. I ended up having to cab.

$14.20.

I was damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn PISSED AT THE STINKING SHUTTLE SERVICE I WROTE A SUPER LONG COMPLAINT LETTER.

FUCKING SHIT I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET until I can rmb to write the complaint letter. Usually I just forget it by the time I get home.

Here's my complaint letter. curse their balls.

Hi,

It is with extreme displeasure at the service that prompted me to write this email.

This morning, I made my way from home in Punggol towards Hougang because I intended to take the shuttle service to school for an 8am tutorial. It was clearly written in the notification to arrive at least 5minutes before stipulated time to ensure we did not miss the bus. I did just that, and I actually arrived for the 7am bus at 6.51am which was way earlier that the 5-minutes before boarding time.

When I arrived, the 6.50am bus was at the berth but the driver and the two personnel in-charge were discussing something. After which the bus drove off. I proceeded to queue but about 5minutes after queuing, some students, including myself were turned away and told to take the public transport because they had reached the seating capacity of 40people allowed onboard.

From what I know, the last time I took the shuttle bus was when it was first implemented last semester and there were students allowed to stand onboard. Why is it now that we are turned away, when in actual fact, we were early for the bus.

What annoyed me the most was the two personnel in-charge actually turned us away after we queued for 5minutes. And the alternative was to take public transport instead. I hope you realise that as a resident of the north east area, every minute of the hour is crucial because of the distance we are from the school.

By the time I left the berth, it was 7am. I had to make my way to Potong Pasir where the trip took 10minutes including the waiting time. However, because of the last minute change in my route, I could not make it for the alternative "public transport" route and ended up taking a cab, which I presume, is labelled under "public transport" as well? My cab fare amounted to $14.20 when I could have paid nothing if I was allowed onboard for the shuttle bus.

However, I hope you realise just some of the reasons why students choose to take shuttle buses instead.

It is convenient as well as free-of-charge. As a student of Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I should have every right to utilise this service and would like to stress that I had chosen to take the shuttle bus because it was cost-efficient, being FOC, and very convenient.

I was very boiled over the fact that I was turned away from the berth as well as an estimated ten other students. However, what made me more upset was when I arrived in class, I saw my classmate who lived in Punggol as well, in class earlier than me. In addition, he took the shuttle service which I was turned away from at 7am. He was one of those out the "TOP 40". The reason why he made it on the bus was because the personnel told him "he would have to stand".

The two in-charge at the berth did not mention to me that I could still wait for the bus if I did not mind standing on the bus for the whole journey. Why should there be such discrepancies and assumptions?

In any way, if there should be a quota as to how many students can sit on per ride, then please inform us beforehand that only the FIRST LUCKY 40 STUDENTS get this exclusive service.

Perhaps you can consider adding another bus for the 6.50am and 7am timeslots.

It was under the realisation that there are indeed quite a number of students in Ngee Ann Poly living in the north-east area that the shuttle service in Hougang was implemented. Then why is there only a bus fit for a mere 40 students per time slot? The queue can get immensely long during the above stated two timeslots as most lessons, if not all, begin at 8 or 9am.

I am utterly displeased with the alternative because I was not late, there was no reason to turn me and the other students away. I can only imagine how annoyed the 41st student must have felt when the line was cut just at him.

Even if I had made it on the bus within the "top 40", I would feel it was unfair to the other students if they were turned away because the remaining who did not "make the cut" could have easily stood on board the bus.

I hope you can take this into consideration and reinstate the main points that we consider when we choose the shuttle service over other modes of transport.

Thank You. I hope to hear a reply regarding this matter as soon as possible.

Regards,

Chng Jing Hui (Ms)

Should I Stay_Dreamz FM

Had a drive
Driven by your love
But when you messed around
I lost the drive I found

It’s hard holding you
Loving you, losing you
It’s sad to be true
And be fooled by you
I don’t know (I don’t know)
I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?

You played me on
Played me like a clown
But I feel for you
Even though I’m down

My heart is heavy
Heavy like a rock
But I am so amused
You’re still in my thoughts

This time its done
It’ll never feel the same
But we had some good times
Guess it’s sad just the same

Should I stay, or should I go?

sometimes, such love songs do not always have to mean someone
or something living...i guess.
It can be a metaphor for something, like in my case,
my passion for singing.

Have I failed it?
I need a "musical milestone".
(as quoted from Gabe a long long time ago)

Yea, I need to push through this stagnant peak.

OMG Zhiwei just called me on the hp and asked me to guess who is the girl on the other line...and it was Yiwen.

OMG.

Yiwen is my pri sch friend. Zw is my sec sch friend. lol.
and Singapore is a small place. lols

and I saw who are some of my classmates for the coming semester...hmm...

Shopping is like an ongoing activity everyday every minute for me :x

I'm very happy with some of my new buys!!

New Shades


















Tons of non-local fashion magazines!! I actually bought the Milk mag cuz there were free Andy Warhol stickers...hahaha. ok la, Milk is not bad too, just that there isn't as much info as compared to say, Elle girl or Popteen. <--Popteen sounds so young -_- and the TW Citta Bella actually had a free BLYTHE calendar!!! woohoooooooooooo.







































































Jolin Concert merchandise. I only bought that super bling cap and the top from her previous concert. Practicality counts. Desmond and me went to the Explogifts outlet at Chinatown one day prior to the concert...shiok man, we can choose and slowly pick. The situation at the merchandise booth on the actual day was utter madness.























I don't care if there'll be people who'll say
"eew you gg to That Jolin's concert ah?"
or stuff like "omg Jolin -_-"

yup, I got that quite a few times from different people lol.

Hey whatever you say don't count, she's the one making millions whilst you're the loser teen complaining here.
HAH.

Jolin 蔡依林: 唯舞獨尊世界巡迴演唱會2007

haha I don't know what to put as my title so I grabbed Des's LOL.

FIRST, let me blog about the autograph session Sonia and me went. Jolin was like typhoon?! who hurriedly swept to Bugis and went off like within 20mins -______-
Sonia and me went to walk one round in Bugis and when we went back to the "scene", it was a state of calmness like it never happened HAHA.
















































Ok the funniest thing was the 2 books we discovered in Kino. LOL. wth man those books.
EVERYTHING MEN KNOW ABOUT WOMEN
























Equals=Nothing?

















I'm serious! The whole book was full of blank pages! -_-
Imagine how he first went to the publisher.
Hello? It's like I'm paying $10+ for a notebook with a relatively creative title as a cover. LOL. dumb. And it was male author, we presumed from the name. ahahaha is that a call for surrender or what.


Now Now...what about the ladies?























words and more words lol. maybe the ladies being too much of a smart aleck too? :x



















Last saturday (7 April 2007) was a rather lucky day for me and everyone around me :)
I went to Des's house earlier to watch videos he had recorded of Jolin and other tw shows and entertainment news (damn it I don't have cable).

Then Sis came to pick us and we were off to watch Jolin's concert at the Indoor Stadium! I've never been this excited to watch a concert although I've been to...Jay Chou's, Zhou Chuan Xiong (erpx), Mayday's as well.

I realised this was the first time I'm watching a female performer, and indeed, I enjoyed it much more than previous concerts. No, I'm not lesbian. :)

She's a fantastic dancer who's full of energy. I don't think I can dance 150mins almost non-stop man. All the dance steps to remember...omg, I think if i'm her, I'll prob have one album every 2 yrs?! HAHA. one whole year to be spent on dancing alone -_____-

but it was an inspiring concert. Uv132 should know what I mean. ;)
but still, foundations must be laid well first.

I took a lot of videos during the concert (Sonia too) and we ended up not being able to video "wu niang" lol. bah.

She was gorgeous during the concert.

Anyway I was saying I felt really lucky that day:
Des had downloaded the wallpaper for the free cd, and when we reached the Indoor Stadium, suddenly I heard the booth saying "ok we're looking for the LAST lucky winner..."
Des and me were like shit la, surely all has been redeemed?
Then I told him, NO, just walk faster try!
and, sure enough, Des was the lucky 100th winner!
LOL.

Then Sonia came and we went over to the booth where the concert merchandise were sold. There was this guy who was holding onto a cap and his wife was still thinking not buying it and just before he decided to put the cap back to the store, I asked for it and told Sonia to hold onto it. and sure enough, that was the last cap!!
phew!! :)

Then, after the concert, I was walking to the carpark with Des to wait for my sis to pick us up for supper. Then I saw a sistic ticket and told Des "hey could it be the Jolin concert tic??", knowing Des liked to collect anything and everything related to Jolin haha.
and sure enough! It was her ticket and it was an autographed one?!
some goondoo actually went to let her sign and threw/dropped it?! lol.

omg I just saw on the channel news asia website...about the ARC comp.

" But the road does not end here.

The next step is for some of the winners to band together to make a commercial album starting around June.

The plan is to release the album in August. - CNA/ms"

COMMERCIAL ALBUM?
*rubs eyes*

:O
ok the last time I heard from Jimmy is all 8 of us will get to be involved in the album.
omfg I am fucking excited. :O

I was out with Desmond earlier this afternoon (technically fri aftnoon) at Chinatown. We were at The Majestic's Popular branch because they were having a sale up to 90% and I ended up buying 5 magazines for $9.

it may sound bimbotic but oh well...all I grabbed were fashion mags. :x
It sounds weird too that I don't like beauty mags...I prefer seeing clothes than the latest makeup range haha.

Anyway Desmond went on to bring up my important point of 放空-ing. He says I always tended to look like I'm in a daze although it's not on purpose.
I'd look dazed and yet I'm still "around" because I'll respond to what he says.
and he'll get a big shock cuz he didn't think I was listening hahaha.

sigh. yes, I always get that comment. once from Lee Wei Song, 2nd time from Wu Jiaming.
now even my cousin has brought this matter up.

serious case.

I'm afraid this must have made a lot of people think I'm insincere when I'm talking to them. But...I didn't do it on purpose!! and I do catch what you're saying!!
I just don't know why I tend to drift off.

I vaugely remember now that Terence has also mentioned I'd suddenly "come back to reality" although he can tell I don't do it on purpose hahaha.

why do I drift off??

Desmond says it's like someone snatched my soul. LOL! what.
But luckily he says when I'm on stage, the soul is back. hehe.
=D

Had a goooood day just plain laughing at my idiotic acts with my cousin...it's amazing I can laugh AT myself with him ridiculing me the whole day. haha.
I guess when you look at yourself as a 3rd person, it's not that bad ah. haha.
and not to mention, Des's freaking funny!!!!!!!!

i like to laugh. xD

oh yes we went Vivocity after Chinatown and...I saw Jackson at Giant at a promo booth.
Jackson from tks!
That Jackson.
omg la he has changed quite a bit altho he's still a bit fair LOL.
he...looks better now! :]
and he's at NP too! He told me he saw me hosting the PSS segment for the Open House this year.
omg...malu. so many ppl saw me host?!
Even Peixian. lol..........................

aaah this Marco guy from VA has emailed us some photos he took that day of me singing and us on stage.
sigh...I look so :S in all the shots :(((
here are some, beware!! lol -_-
hey I'll be a very good endorsement "artiste" lor, look at how good I'm framed in this pic together with the 77th street blocks?LOL.

Ytd I finally went to the Ikea Tampines.

The restaurant there is definitely bigger than the one at Redhill. and not as noisy.
sometimes all that noise can really spoil the ambience.

I had the meatballs! the kids one hahaha. because I didn't wana finish all 10!
the curry there is sooo not spicy -_-

anyway...my dad mistook the metal watering can as the one you use to brew coffee.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

He thought it was the kopitiam type.
wahahahahahahahahhahahahhahhaah. =P

I was telling Steph how good it will be if Ed Hardy was one of the sponsors hahaha!
dream on.
The budget for the clothes will probably be...$500?! HAHA.

but at least 77th street has some good stuff too :)

here are some pics of Donovan being a "model" haha!
SUCH A HAPPY BABY!!! awwwwww

woohoo Jimmy sent us(Revolution) an email and...apparently between us and 6FM(the winner), the difference was only 4 points!!!
aaaahhh. we could have won lol.

and...here are some feedback (facts and information):

a) Judges had great comments on the image - 1st name to come to their mind - "Jade"!! - Wow!

I-M-A-G-E~~~ WEEEEEE!

feedback (personal)
a) Business / Marketing - not as complete and could have a deeper market reach and promotion campaign

b) Jade great showmanship - nominee for best artiste by all judges

c) I am keen to have a word the composer of the song - might just have opportunities for her (call me if she is keen) Revolution, thanks for making the Grand Finals fun and exciting! :-) Call me if there are areas I can be of any help...

great showmanship?! I have never been praised on showmanship lmao. weee~

and I'm so glad I can bring great songs out to show...like using great songs like Yue Yin's song and let them be recognised. :D

Artiste & Repertoire Challenge 06/07 is officially over!

Team Revolution got 2nd Place! woohoooo.
I'm just glad the styling got the Best of the Best award.
At least, I know my efforts and skills...are award-worthy. That's all that matters.

I did not deliver a very good performance, and was less than excited after the performance and the 2nd place win although I was relieved it was over.

I was damn nervous about this performance when I discovered the stage was actually quite wide and I would need to come up with a performance instead of mere singing. At that point, I felt so worried and my heart weighed a ton. I couldn't let my team down. I didn't want to be the burden.
AND so, I decided to just give it my all and even did the twirl in the killer heels although I could have thrown my hat further LOL.

But at least I conquered a 1200 strong crowd. weee!

I always hope to give the best in terms of performance, and I'm really disappointed in myself for giving that less than perfect performance; especially when my friends and family had come to support me.

I will do better in future. After all, it is only with experience that you get to improve.

I was disappointed some friends couldn't turn up. Whether is it because I was not seen as important as I thought I was didn't matter. I would perform as long as ONE friend turns up. Because I will give what I can to those who matter.
Some may think this was just another competition; but it isn't.
It's a rather big event IMO.
The Press came, CNA with their crew, Tribune,albeit a school paper, but it's publicity after all. and LIME was here too.

Elim Chew of 77th Street, Stella Thng, Editor of LIME Magazine and Wu Jiaming, famous vocal coach were the judges.
I'm glad that they gave rather positive comments on the whole.

I have been more perplexed than happy after this event despite a smile being plastered on my face. I've been thinking about this event, the things that happened along the way.

I may seem really fussy during the choosing of the clothes and colours for the makeup; but hey, I know what works, and c'mon, it worked.
so, IMO, I have tried to be very tactful in giving my comments; all I want is a better image and ending.
and it's a good thing it turned out good.
so, I ask of a lot in terms of vocals and image.

I may seem like a bitch while discussing issues like this but HEY,
whoever's idea works, WINS.
roar.

you can label me as having 艺术家的臭批气 but...I don't give a damn as long what I propose is good.

Shawn even said I was a perfectionist in exasperation when I kept finding fault with the track. It's still not perfect until today and the competition is over already.
Perhaps I am asking of a lot from them; after all, we're not pros...yet.
but, what I feel is, if you can do better, why stop here?
WHY is he so easily contented?
DO NOT rest on your laurels.

For me, if it is an area of my expertise, I will make sure I can do it till it's the best I can deliver. It may not be the best in industry standards, but if it's the best that I can produce, then it's good enough.
know what I mean? haha.

Alright, enough of my rants. I'm still not satisfied though. But that's it for now.
pictures. as usual.



































































Last but not least...the Team Revolution that has come a long way since auditions/interview to the Preliminary Round to the Pre Grand Finals presentation and finally the Grand Finals Concert on 1st april 2007.
Kudos to everyone! We're a great team nonetheless.
