Take a deep breath before starting.

I've changed the picture on top again. The other 1 was getting boring and I found a prettier 1. If u never noticed, it changes every 10secs. It'll probably take 30secs for the 1st round.. abit laggy cuz it's quite huge. Consecutively, it'll be 10 secs. So I guess by the time u're done with this post, the gif image should be ready for viewing.

I've been quite busy lately, which explains MIA-ness in here. It's all because of the stupid IP (Integrated Project), which nearly cost our lives when we were at it. I don't expect you to know the stress-level and importance of an IP, because to you, it's just another project. But to me(us), it's a never before pressure, partly due to the time constraints.

It's something like having 3 projects with the same dateline, because there were 3 modules. Only that there seems to be an extra project workload because there's an extra requirement of integrating the 3 projects to make it look like 1.

After the Shanghai IP is done, we have the Nivea IP. Then it's time for exams. Which will mean Nivea IP 2nd round. It never ends, does it?

Well, after we presented the Shanghai IP project, I left for dor's bday dinner. The turnout was small, but it didn't matter, it was a small but fun group. Then it was off to changi to see mel(sasa) off. Once again, she was a little blinded by her other friends to take much notice of us. At least there were only 3 groups of friends this time, so we still manage to grab a little of her attention.

The usual plan was to take a cab down to my place after seeing mel off and stay for the night. Geraint couldn't as he had plans for the afternoon the next day. When we were persuading him to join us, somebody suggested to go to his place instead. I don't mind, his place is far better than mine. So off to Geraint's house.

We played Nintendo Wii for the entire night. We started straight after we reach his house until 5+ in the morning. I was one of the 1st to declare GG, together with Geraint. Alvin, Fel and Dory stayed up for another hour playing Tennis. The entire night, all of us, except Geraint, were running from the TV+Wii controller to the computer. Online shopping and Wii-ing at the same time.

At 10+ in the morning, we woke up, washed up and seeing that the boys are not yet awake, we played more Wii. We only just started the game and Alvin joined us, followed by Geraint. And it was back to the Wii frenzy. Played until 2, when Geraint had to leave for his volunteer work. Fine, we packed up unwillingly and headed home.

I feel like buying Wii now.. it's only S$600!!

That was last weekend. On monday, I was suppose to send my mummy off to Dubai for business. But I signed up for Captains ball and I was not allowed to withdraw because the group was outnumbered. Half of them couldn't turn up with valid excuses.

In the end, my group won the game without even touching the ball. It's either we were too pro or the other group withdrew, allowing us to walkover. There was suppose to be round 2 yesterday, which we decided to withdraw, for whatever reasons I have no idea. So ultimately, we never played.

Finally bought a pair of creative speakers for the sake of my faulty speakers on my laptop. These new speakers toured around Singapore before finally reaching home. From Marina to Changi(East) then to home(West). (:

HARRY POTTER and THE DEATHLY HALLOWS is WONDERFUL!!!!! It's definitely the Best Book Ever!! Maybe because this is already the last book, and half the world have already read the other 6 books, so JK Rowling didn't even bother to write any introduction to the characters, the plot or background of Harry Potter.

Right from the start it was war. Chaos (in the good way) from the 1st page all the way to the last. I reread the Very Last Chapter countless of times, because I love it so much! For those who gave up on Phoenix and decided not to go on, trust me, persevere on Phoenix, get over and done with on Half Blood, and enjoy Hallows. It's wayyyy better than The Da Vinci Code.

Oh.. and my Computer and HDD are now completely full with TVXQ. I can't burn DVDs yet.. the problem has not been solved. So I'll have to use tonnes of CDs instead. People should really try making CDs alittle larger. At least 1 Gb.. 700mb is way too small.

If you thought I can finally write a post without mentioning TVXQ, then I'm so sorry to disappoint you. But it's only a small portion. The top is pretty much about my life, which I have no idea why did I have to share it, maybe because I needed an explanation for my MIA-ness.

TVXQ's Mail!

Got home late, bashed. But the moment I stepped into my room, I shrieked with Joy!!

HOORAYS!!!

The Five In The Black Autographed Poster is Finally Here!!

Air Flown from Korea. Registered Mailed to Home! Woots!

Ordered it through the forum. Somehow has its sources and these are personally signed by the boys themselves.
Wells, you can't really tell from this photo that the marker ink is genuine.

Some may ask.. are these really signed by the boys? It might be a spam...
I've checked their signatures. This is definitely theirs.

Wanted to laminate it, but then if I decide that I don't wanna display it, it'll be tough to keep a laminated poster. I found some clear book wrappers in my mama's room and wrapped it up. I can't loose the marker ink. That's what makes the poster worth the money.

Argh! Now I can't wait for the tees to arrive. The webbie have yet to confirm my order. If I still don't get their confirmation mail tmr, I'll send another 1 and another 1 until I get the tees. So excited!!

I'm not gonna calculate how much I've spent on TVXQ. I know it's quite a big sum of money, but in my point of view, it's worth it. At least it brings smiles to my face. (:

Ngee Ann's Guinness Record

After the shanghai trip, I realise how crazy the gang can get, but today was just overboard and I like it.

Tina drove to school today. No big deal. It was a 1600cc car. No big deal. We have lecture at Lt 45, which is located near Canteen 4. So we had to climb the hill to the Lt Hall.
No big deal, cuz Tina drove us up. At that time, it was only Tina, Beng, Rene, Sab and I.
The others were missing, we somehow separated but nobody is complaining.
because We fit nicely.

End of lecture and now we have to get down the hill. As usual, the gang would gather around and decide on where to go, what to do. But who is going to take the car down?
Since we love each other so much, let's all go together.

For those who were wondering, the gang consist of... *Drumroll*.. 11 full grown adults. Of cuz we can't fit 11 of us in a 1600cc car. 2 gave up and decided to take a stroll. That makes 9 jammed into the car. Surprisingly, we made it through the ups and downs and countless humps on our way down.

I was so embarrassed when the car parked at the Foyer outside Lt 73. One by One we exited, and the passer-bys starred at the no. of passengers that came out of the car. I thought I was in a car commercial, promoting how spacious the car can be on the inside, Not.

And I thought 9 was the maximum the car could take. After our next lecture at Lt 20, we challenge our limits and this time, it was like 10 packed sardines in an aluminum can. Our destination? Under the Convention Centre.

The entire trip was pointless, but it was done purely for the fun of it.
We saw faces gawking at the packed sardines in the car throughout the journey. None of us could stop laughing from the packing process to the unpacking ceremony.

The Shanghai gang consists of 11 people. Our latest record was 10... 1 more wouldn't hurt.
ROFL :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made my order for 1 Yunho's tee and 1 Changmin's tee.
I'm freaking excited even b4 the order has been finalised.

People have been telling me how surprised they are at my loyalty towards TVXQ. They've expected it to die out really soon. I'm still persistent and will still be a hot-blooded TVXQ fan. I have a gut feel they will follow me for a few more years. So far, no other stars look hotter than the 5 boys add together, and I doubt there'll be anyone that's up to it anytime soon.

You've just gotta admit that there's no other band with All the members looking so Hot and Talented. I really mean All.

Erupting

I'm getting constant migranes everyday for the past 3 days. Normally, the causes of my migrane are:
1. Oranges, Lemon, Lime and anything citrus.
2. Frequent Sudden Blood rush to my head
3. Tensed up Nerves.

I think the root of my problems belongs to No. 3 Tensed up Nerves.

I really want all of this to be over, but then again, I hope time can slow down, so that I won't have to start making new decisions in life so soon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So TVXQ ended their 2nd Japan Live Tour and the Korean fans are interested to find out more about the spectacular performance they had in Budokan.
So am I.


Well, the boys can't seem to hide their cheekiness in this interview. Even Yunho was forced to be playful on screen.
The Highlight of this video is the last part, during the "Fighting Parade". Poor Junsu, reminds me of the last Junsu animation in the left column. and to add to that, Jaejoong pushed Junsu aside and no one bothered about him.
XIAH JUNSU! FIGHTING!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okays.. Take a break from TVXQ.

I guess those who reads Daz's blog and some other readers will know who is Jerry C.
Those who doesn't know Jerry C should know the song Cannon in Rock.
And finally, those who doesn't know Cannon in Rock, should have heard of Cannon in D.
If you haven't heard of any of these, you should really go attend some weddings.

Anyways, so I was once again, browsing through YouTube's Top videos and came across this.

The original piece is called Cannon in D, composed by Pachelbel. Don't know his full name, but I'm not a musician, so that' not important.

So this Taiwanese called Jerry C, rearranged the song and made it his own, in Rock style.
He appeared in various Taiwan Variety programmes and had quite afew live performances since then. The Rock version spread worldwide and I was surprised at how many people from how many countries actually know of the Rock piece.

Some played it the way it was rearranged, some changed it alittle to spice it up.
But that's not I was impressed by.
Once again, it was the "Putting together" skills that I'm applauding. To collect them, cut and sync them together and then still allow the music to run smoothly, it must have been really tough.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like I'm the only one who will be buying the TVXQ Tees. I really need suggestions.
I'm definitely buying Yunho's Tee, but should I buy another 1? Should I get Changmin's Tee?
If zw is reading this, she will first ask how much is it, then say, "Crazy ah! Don't buy any of the T-shirts."
Anyways.. here is how the boys look like in their own Tees.


Argh! Dilemma..
I'm definitely getting the Tees.. Just which one should I get??

Sunday, July 08, 2007

Anyone interested??

I'm ordering T-shirts designed by TVXQ themselves.

I'm definitely getting Yunho's shirt, but I'm not sure if I should get the others.
I wanna buy Changmin's too, but both designs are in Yellow, then I'll have 2 Yellow graphic Tees.

Yoochun's tee is alittle too boring,

Jaejoong's tee is ????
and Junsu's tee doesn't make sense at all..

Anyone wants to order too?
I'll do it for you. Just holler by Tuesday.
If u're as crazy as I am.


So while I was browsing a DongBang site/blog that was selling the Tees, they were playing a familiar song in the background. I swear I heard that song before and I know it's a song that doesn't belong to my favourite genre but I was suppose to like it anyhow.

This was the song.

Yunho feat. Donghae from Super Junior - Spokesman

Oh yea!! The song composed and sang by Yunho!! I should have known!

Seriously, when I first heard of this song, I was so worried that if one day, Yunho was to produce his own album, how am I gonna persuade myself to listen to the songs day in day out.

I'm not saying that DBSK will split up, there are times when singers get ambitious and wants to venture out on their own. In a case like this, the group is still alive, just that the singers have solo projects to work on. Examples like Shinhwa and F.I.R. and Backstreet Boys, although I'm not sure if BSB really did stayed together throughout the bleak period.

Anyways, the first attempt of listening to the song was alittle painful, counting on the fact that I don't really enjoy Rock that's so loud and heavy. But the 2nd and subsequent attempts gradually gets less disturbing.

Everyday is Friday the Thirtheen.

I don't have to wait 1 more week and I'm already feeling the jinx. Nothing has been going smoothly and troubles wreck up wherever I go. To prove my point:
Everywhere I go, I'll knock and kick into things, countless of times this week.
Now, I've got bruises all over me.

Well, my questionnaire project got hit the worst. I shall not rant about it.. too many unhappiness going on but it's mostly my problem.. I get worked up everytime I get stressed up. I can feel people around me feeling uneasy, and I don't blame them. Maybe I'll step back for the time being.

But there's this particular friend I'm starting to get annoyed with. People know that I don't have much patience and yet he's trying to test it. I'm on the verge of giving him a tight slap, but I can't bring myself to. The worse thing is, I can't vent my frustrations on anyone, so here I am ranting in here, hoping that he will not be able to figure out that it's him and I can still feel better letting all out.

I've been going around asking people to do surveys for me. No friends decline straight in my face, only he did. And then it got me thinking.. not again?

I know my friends are not obliged to help me, but like I said, they are friends and I've learnt so much to be someone's friend. Help each other when in need, accompany each other, be there for one another.. all that kinda bull.
It sounds superficial, but surprisingly, years ago, I found out that I do have friends like that, which spurs me on to be like them and to cherish them.
And I thought this guy was one of them.

Well, we all know what he's like. We don't tell him his shortcomings but just quietly learn to bear with it.
And coincidentally, my shortcoming is not being able to tolerate shortcomings and my other shortcoming is being frank and straightforward, hurting others directly with my words.
Which I've learnt to self-contain and thus, it's all written here.

Seriously.. no friends rejected.. all of them tried.. even if they can't find any, I frown but I know they tried and I appreciate their efforts.
He didn't even make the effort to look like he tried.
Even when I ask him to do the survey, I had to beg him.

I gave in to each person's request.. through the phone, to your home, meeting up at the most random places just to get a survey done and head straight home after that. But he gave all sorts of excuses.. I know he doesn't mind getting the survey done, he just finds it troublesome and insignificant. It doesn't benefit him in anyways.. so why should he be going through the trouble to help me?

When I finally got him on the phone, he was like so impatient to get off the hook and continue with whatever he's gotta do (if he is actually doing anything at all), totally oblivious to my beggings, gratitude and apologetic tone of voice. When I hung up, I wondered what did I do wrong, why did I have to snoop so low just to please him? Argh!

In the past, whenever he needs company, I'll be most willing to accomodate him. Now, he's acting all big shot and like he has the schedule of TVXQ. Maybe soon I'll have to roll out the redcarpet to get you leave the house just for me.

I hope readers can stop trying to guess who this mystery person is. Cuz even if you got it right, I won't tell. I just need to let some steam out. Read it for pleasure, read it for entertainment, read it for fun and let it end there, period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've changed the Lovin' You picture to SM Magazine's picture. That's because TVXQ is promoting their new 13th Japanese Single, Summer Dream. Light-hearted song, catchy, but not exactly the best song yet. The Promotional Video just got released and it looks like a cross between Sky and Choosey Lover.
This video makes me love Junsu even more.. He's so cute in there. Oh.. and Jaejoong revealed alittle of his fun side in the video.. he's always trying to be serious and cool.

I love the ending!!
There was a part where the boys had to do a breakdance pose and only Yunho and Junsu manage a decent pose. Jaejoong's pose was passable and credit Changmin for trying. Yoochun's pose was merely a pose... it wasn't breakdancing at all, was he even trying?

I love the ending!!
The dance steps in the video is so tiring.. I wonder how are they going to manage it when they perform live. Look at the jumping around, turns and footworks. They'll have to do all that, sing live and look cheerful and fun when on stage.
No wonder I like them so much... hahas!

I love the ending!!
When they are in the car, Yunho and Yoochun were so composed in the front, while Changmin, Jaejoong and Junsu were fooling around at the back. So did Changmin take over Yoochun's place in the fooling around clique when they are in Japan? Anyways.. they're so funny in the car!!

I love the ending!!
I can't repeat this enough, I love the ending!! Junsu and his dance moves! Wahahahaha!! Junsu has become so lovable since they've gone to Japan. First it was his Oyagi Gags and now the joker dance moves... I wonder if they will perform that on live performances... I so wanna watch them do it live!

I love the ending!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still don't have all the Shanghai pictures yet. I've only got those I took.. which isn't much cuz since we are compiling, I don't see the need for everyone to take the same photos.

Well, these are the best group photos I've got.


One of the clearer pictures. But unfortunately not all the faces can be seen. Where's Tina? Sab, Glawu and Fk's face are all blocked.

The picture is abit blurred.. Definitely not the camera's fault. It's the photographer's fault. But at least everyone can been seen.. almost..

Any TVXQ in Shanghai? Check this out.

Tasted it, bought it back and it's now on display. What is this? Watch this.

Remeber them in charming pure white suits? They've got 1 more flavour - orange. Gave up on that one. Blue is grape flavour, white is lychee flavour. Love them all!

On the last day, we went to a shopping mall for our last company visit. We settled down in the meeting room and Bam! I was right next to TVXQ's picture! We were meant to be... lmao.


A closer look at the picture.. endorsing for Fila years ago. Changmin still had that short crop. He seriously needs to get his hair chopped off in the Summer Dream PV.
It's not entirely my camera's fault for the blur picture. The picture itself is pixelated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just realise how long this entry is.. try to catch your breath before suffocating.

To my Dong Bang friends..
I've downloaded the Summer Dream PV, if any of you are interested.

Qp, I've yet to burn the videos for you yet. I've tried burning into a DVD, but there seems to be some problem.. I wasted 3 DVDs already.. so I'm not gonna try until I get the problem fixed. So sorry for the delay. I'll add Summer Dream PV in for you as well.

My Bro and I were YouTubing...

Cut you the slack. No TVXQ Videos this entry. I've got really cool stuff.

Well, wonder if you browse through YouTube's All Time Favourite Videos Section. My brother does.. the younger one. I'd join him occasionally for some distressing.
Btw, I don't just watch TVXQ videos on YouTube, I have a life too.

So after watching the Baby Ally's Whatever video recommended on laine's blog, it reminded me of a video highly viewed on YouTube.

I'm thinking, Zhiwei and Fel will love this.. maybe Shan too...
Seriously.. this baby is contagious. He is one happy baby.

I can watch this over and over again and still be so tickled.

Okays.. since I'm already here, I'll just recommend a couple more YouTube's most viewed videos.

This is nothing hilarious, but the guy performing is Awesome!

It's a French Talent Competition, so needless to say, everyone is speaking French.. the only word I think I heard/comprehended was "Bravo! Bravo!"

I did some percussion back in those acapella days in choir. Compared to him, mine wasn't Bbox.. It was just spitting saliva all over the mic sounding passable.

So since we're onto BeatBoxing, here's another Spectacular performance by some guy called Lasse from Lavik (wherever that is)

He didn't exactly BeatBox.. it was just making noise individually and putting them together to make it sound good. So the impressive thing isn't the BeatBoxing skills, but the Putting Together Skills. I wonder how long he took to put the puzzle together and make the whole beat sound so cool.
To add to that, he's got this comical face that spices up the humour factor.

Okays.. I'm quite done with recommending.. there are Loads more of such videos like these lying around YouTube.. Just go to YouTube.com>See More Favourite Videos link>All Time>Most Viewed or Top Favourite and you'll get an endless list of videos like these.

As promised, no TVXQ in this entry.. but that doesn't mean I won't create another one later on just for the boys... *Evil Laughter*

And then... The start of Deadlines

Calling out to all the young ladies out there.
If you are between 15 to 24 years of age, please holler to get a questionnaire filled in.
In return, you will get a year's supply of gratitude from yours truly.
Thank you so much for your support and cooperation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've moved into my new room, period. Actually I've moved the night before departing to Shanghai, but life has been so tiring since my return, so I've not announced it.

I can't invite people in just yet, because there are stuff-that-does-not-belong-to-me still sitting in a corner of my room. I can only move them out when they "demolish" my old room, which is god knows when.

So let me introduce you to my room through this horriby drawn picture using Paint.
If you were wondering, what happened to my Art skills. I was ashamed of this piece of crap, but that's the best I can get out of Paint and 5mins. Spare me the stares.

Okays, back to the room.
The Yellow circle is me, where I am right now.
As you can see, there's a chair in red but apparently since day one, I've not used it, since it's much more comfy on the bed. Thus, I only use one side of the table.

In addition, my bed is quite cornered. I only have less than one side of the bed to enter/exit.

The green curvy line is the door and the pink curvy line is the full-length window facing East where the sun rises. No, that's not a good thing, cuz Sunrise means no Sleep-ins.

See my closet? Don't be too alarmed, it is not out of the room, I just can't seem to fit the words inside the room so I extended it to the borders. The closet is actually the purple stripe below the word closet.

And beside my closet is where all the stuff-that-does-not-belong-to-me are lying. Thanks to all these "rubbish", my room now looks so clustered and messy. Once again, can't wait to get rid of the junks.

But on the overall, it's a cosy-looking room, with the pictures and posters hung on the walls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't blog on Shanghai cuz I don't have the photos yet. Daz is having a hard time compiling it, and according to her, we have 1000+ pictures all added up.

I have no idea how am I gonna store that many pictures since my lappie and HDD are now packed with TVXQ videos. This only means that I have to start burning TVXQ DVDs to increase storage space.

The boys ended their 2nd Japan Live Tour when I was in Shanghai. Congratulations.

Now they are preparing for their 12th Japan Single, rumoured Korean Single and continue their 2nd Live Concert in Asia, which does not include Singapore :(
I think the SM Town Summer Album is coming out too.
OhOh... BzBzBz... so am I. Deadlines hanging on my neck, tightening by the minute.

Surveys, Anyone?

Finally... The End of Trips

I was getting so sick of traveling that I almost backed out of the Shanghai trip the day before.

I'm so exhausted. I couldn't keep myself awake since I got home. After the touch down, I got home, managed to force myself to unpack my luggage and put myself to bed straight after. No chit-chats with family at all.

The next day, on a Saturday, I had to go school at 10am for a project meeting, which I was terribly late and ended up skipping it. But I still had to collect the materials for the project asap, so I met up with my Shanghai Troopers @ the meeting to pass me the stuff. Had lunch together and hung out at Ice Rocks in HollandV. I swear I could barely keep myself awake to be attentive to what everyone has to say, needless to say join in the conversations.

After that, I got home straight away, meaning cabbing home because I was too shagged, and plopped on my bed to LaLaLand, all the way to dinner. After dinner, had my first contact with my beloved TV for a short while and I'm back to Zzz again.

I woke up unwillingly this 'morning' (early afternoon) because my room was heating up like a freaking oven. Had 'breakfast' (brunch) and then I got comfy on my sofa and yeps... another nap until dinner.

And now, I can finally keep myself awake. It's back to school tmr and I'm not prepared for classes. Screwed.

I think I'll blog about the trip another day. It's too long and tedious for my state-of-mind right now.

Just to let you know, although I'm one of those who slept the most during the trip, and I really hardly slept, so I can't imagine how the others are coping. Or maybe it's just me cuz I'm really a sleeper. Anyways, till next time.
