Radio Journ class today was "..."
3 hrs of stoning, slacking, being high.

And Selene was surfing tabloid websites while we waited for Felix to approve our Broadcast Asia script.

We both agree Britney Spears is such a mess now. -_____-

and...the Head of IT Dept, Deutsche Welle, Michael Niederberger (你的burger) has an interesting name.
xD

sometimes mass commers can be so rude to their lecturers...
but they kid around with us just as much! :)
beats boring *cough* engineering lecturers.

School is a drug that makes us HIGH

I just managed to get the pics from Steph's blog...
These pictures serve as evidence that are aptly described by her that

school is a drug that makes us HIGH.

We stayed in school till 8-9pm that day. I still remember it was a day before our docpro pitch and Eve and I were getting the powerpoint slides done at the benches on the 8th floor. Steph was editing her/our (hehe) radio assignment, Jiewei and Joyce just ended their *cough* elitist tea party organised by our course manager.

and we were all HIGH because of schoolwork.

AND, I think we all concluded this is what happens to mass-commers when we stay late doing work. We get high...
natural high. HAHAHA.

and...here's what we did as we walked out of school.
My pose is not the glamour-est of the lot...in fact I had to bend because I was too tall and would block the words.
Hmm...actually, it wouldn't really matter if I did anyways. oh well! :)

We also screamed and talked loudly as we walked past the carpark. Howling like wolves, quacking like ducks, roaring like lions and barking like dogs, and even meowing like cats. Joyce...makes good cat calls. Pun intended lol.
Jiewei shunned us like a few metres away. and he became Old McJiewei...
we were insane.

Crazy Steph, Mad Joyce, Crazy and Mad me.
















































Stop laughing at my pose hor.

Jolin. She's a good performer and this is why I think so.
It's not easy...
According to her artiste mgmt company, they insured 1 billion for this performance because there was fire around her for the last bit. It was quite near man.
I like the edited part of the intro for this Live performance. Although it was obvious during the chorus part that perhaps her mic was softer and her cd was played. But at least the live intro is still PITCH PERFECT.



I do not think she was less deserving than the others like what the critic in the mandarin papers wrote...
In fact, the best female vocalist does not just weigh how much you deserve it on vocal quality alone. It is an overall assessment of your results for the entire year. And I do think she shone in comparison to A*Mei, Sandy and even Penny.
Next year, they can try harder.
Perhaps...Penny's PR skills aren't strong too.
It's the MEDIA after all.
SUCK IT UP AND ACCEPT THE SHIT.

A lot of factors are dependent variables for such things...
I feel the Mars artiste mgmt company is quite solid...most of their artistes get a lot of different types of ads, dramas as well as album or event opportunities.

But I do feel a bit shocked at the winner for the Best Male Vocalist.
Nicky??
I do not doubt his efforts but there were more deserving male nominees in this category.

Better luck next year, JJ. and the other few nominees.

Show's Concert!

OK, according to The Man himself, his Singapore stop for the concert tour will be held during December.

START SAVING UP NOW!!

So much has gone on for the past week...
So much for having a 2-week term break- half of it was spent on Broadcast Asia @ Expo! grr.

Last weekend we had a little gathering, just us, LB, Su, Fred and me.
Played arcade LOL...craved for the bball game. We went for brunch at the HK Cafe beside Katong Mall. so-so food. The no. 1 is still Kim Gary at Vivocity!!

Some pics...













































































Su and me went Changi Airport after Fred and LB bid goodbye~
We shuffled countless times between T1 and T2 hahaha!
But it's fun to do that without the worry of how some people may react like "HUH...what...walk again??whatttt."
You know? Whiners. LOL.

We did some dumb stuff... :D


















































































Fathers' Day Celebration!
We went to this Korean BBQ place at East Coast. It was just beside the new BK Drive-thru. Cool ah...it's time to move with the times, BK! Looking fwd to more drive-thrus...haha.
I like the style of Korean BBQ where you wrap the meat with the cabbage/lettuce/etc leaves...Very healthy and refreshing.
It allows you to have an equal intake of vegetables as meat during a BBQ and keeps your appetite fresh because too much meat can make you sick of BBQ-ed food.

It was a spread! and nope, I still don't like KIMCHI! Maybe except for the cold tofu...




































I like eating with metal chopsticks... :)

I love my nephew! Although he doesn't seem to like me very much in this pic HAHAHA.
NO lah, it's the flash...right? :P



























































Broadcast Asia @ Expo- 19 June-22June- aka 2nd week of Term break Hols GONE.
Some sessions were interesting...some were less interesting. :/
This was how it looked like on the 1st few sessions. Seats were almost filled up.


















The session I was supposed to cover was Session 7- News for Radio - Gathering and Using.
Working with Ms Koh was......interesting.
She's rather eccentric like what the rest all agree upon.
"This lady is talking about dinosaurs!"
"no no no no no no!"

LMAO... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.



Day 1 Lunch Break! I brought the dumplings my mum made...yummy!

















































































By the last few sessions...look at the crowd! or lack of, for that matter.


















Me, Linus, Clarence, Malbinder, Caleb.

















Linus hurriedly took another pic without my foot and said OOPs aiya, I photoshop on the spot you know.
right, Linus, with MY camera.
he can be quite dohhh sometimes.


















Look at this nice RED vintage radio!!!
Thanks Steph ;))))




















Joined my sis and her friends for drinks at Ice Cold Beer after the Closing Ceremony on fri.
Actually the Tuborg beer quite nice leh...cuz it only has 5% alcohol xD
3 for $20 daily!































wow I'm finally done. It's a goooood thing Blogger autosaves now.

I want to rip the new MAMBO JAMBO album!!!
Is it the same people who mix the album as before? I like how they mixed the previous album...each song goes into the next sooo smoothly.

OMG I don't mean to sound so picky but I found a SUPER dis-continuity shot in [it started with a kiss]!!
Disc 18 o4-21:00...
HAHAHA...A Jing (aka Wang Dong Cheng of Fahrenheit) was wearing a totally different helmet when they cut to a closeup.
like hello?!!!
funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

oh yes! The video player and my sis's bigger tv is in my room now! The rather nice 14inch I used to have in my room has spoilt too.
(why are all the gadgets around me dying?!)

But good timing...during my hols where I'm less busy!
And just when Catherine lent me her vcd...
non-stop man.

But I think I'm gona be done with [it started with a kiss] tonight...
arg...need new shows!
From all that watching of such predictable dramas, it's not hard to imagine why some girls can get lost from all that acting lol...
They think reality is like idol drama also ah. haha i wish!























I bought a refurbished Ipod Mini off apple's website. Finally...
no more bored days in the nel.

--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm watching "it started with a kiss" which stars 郑元畅 and Ling Yi Chen.
I seriously don't understand how Ling Yi Chen can be cast for tv shows when her double chin is very serious.
It's so distracting and unpleasant.
and well, all I can say is, she bears an uncanny resemblance to a Penguin. :/
If you're a fan of the feathered kind...perhaps you won't detest her as much as I do. :X

Through this show, I've also come to realise 郑元畅 can bloody hell act! :D
And he's very good looking actually...his features fits well with his face shape.

Face shape is so important......

I didn't know this song of Jolin had a dance routine too haha.
Her instructor makes a hell lot of "HEY"s in this video lol............

I just came back from Compass Point...where I bumped into Wilfred.
and I was without makeup! *screams*
oh whatever.
Not as if he never saw me without makeup in sec school hahahaahhaha.
Sorry to have shocked you a little huh, Fred. HAHA.

Anyway, I decided to check out Sembawang for Elva's 2nd version of her [1087] album. I went over there and looked around before asking an assistant when I couldn't locate it.

Me: Hi, do you have the repackaged version of Elva's new album?

Ignorant Assistant: oh...we don't have. Elva has repackaged album?? We didn't receive news. She has???

Me: hmm. it's ok.

The tone she spoke to me was as though she was challenging my knowledge of the repackaged album.

And it just goes to show how ignorant she is! Dumb. That album has LONG BEEN OUT IN TAIWAN LOR.

Ignorant! How can she work in a cd store with such little knowledge?!
Bu then again, you can't expect * cough* knowledgeble people like *cough* me to work in some mere cd store right? That'd be such.a.waste.

some people...tsk tsk.

----------------------------------------
okok, so she may not be interested in elva or mandopop lah. I should stop being so anal! :)

Girl Next Door

The first time I heard this song [Girl Next Door] on radio, I actually paid closer attention to the lyrics. Usually I'd just listen to the general tune if I'm hearing a song for the first time.

I went on to ask Steph for the song...and it's on my playlist now!

The words are so apt. I don't deny I've felt the same way as how the lyrics described the girl.
sucky lah.

the Prom Queen here merely acts as a metaphorical term to describe anyone who has ever made me feel inferior and less beautiful...

Yes, I'm shallow.........but that's because I'm only human...

Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door

Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Oh and I'm just the girl next door

I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else

I hate to be disturbed when I'm watching [百分百].

I just missed the news of his new shop opening cuz my sis wanted to use my laptop for some connection SHIT.

I am very pissed. ROAR.

I was watching it straight off satellite so I wouldn't have to rush back by 5pm tmr (if nth left for proj) or have to watch it at 1am tonight/tmr.

1am sounds ok to many people but by the time you finish watching, it's 2am!!!
no need study/work ah...sleep so late!
urgh!

ok, I realise I snap a fucking lot more easily when I'm sleepy.

I am still pissed!!!grr.
