DEATH CAB IS COMING TO SINGAPOREEEEEEE :D

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Ahh my fav DCFC song :D :D

I wanna go. I wanna go. I really wanna go. I hope it doesn't clash with midterms or anything. If it does, I will really CRY :(

And darn it. Simple Plan is performing right now..and I am sitting at home listening to 'Astronaut'. SCREW SOLD OUT TICKETS. OMFG. :(

Missed them THIRD time in a row. Please God..let them come again and let there be TICKETS for me to go and see them LIVE :(

Jessie J is coming. Dashboard is coming. Rachel Yamagata is coming.

GREAT GIGS LINING UP THIS YEAR!

If John Mayer, Muse, Coldplay and Justin Timberlake come, my life will be complete and I can die in peace even if the world ends this year :D

Okay. Arsenal match now. Gonna support the Gunners!

'It's right, just not right now.'

Can't wait for the next episode now. HURRY MAKE DAMON AND ELENA GET TOGETHER ALREADYY!

Okay, should get back to tutorials. I shall be studious and do all my tutorials and pay full attention during lectures :D

Ciao! An eventful week awaits!

“They say love is blind, but it is difficult for me to say no to Arsenal.”

-Thierry Henry

2012-01-06T07:13:00.000-08:00

FINALLY. A PROPER KISS.

The season 2 finale one isn't considered a proper one..cause well, it was more of a goodbye kiss.

But this..is just..NICE :D

Damon and Elena FINALLY <3 Can't wait for next week's episode!

And school resumes next week!

PLUS!

THIERRY HENRY HAS RESIGNED FOR ARSENAL FOR A SHORT-TERM DEAL.

Short-term or long-term..the KING is BACK. OMG. I still remember how I cried when I saw his farewell quotes..I didn't expect to see him in the Arsenal colours again. But I am EXTREMELY happy to see him here again! He changed so many things about Arsenal while he was here..and let's not forget that he was our record high goalscorer. He is a legend..and he loves Arsenal..and he is one of those players who will always have the respect of the fans. And I am glad that he is back :D Can't wait to see the RVP-Thierry Henry combinations upfront! :D

Till then..

“I will always give 100 per cent on the pitch. I don’t know if I will play well or not, but I will always give 100 per cent, try to defend as well as I can and try to lead this team to success.

Respect this man.

2012-01-03T09:17:00.000-08:00

Marathoning Gossip Girl now! Love how bitchy Blair can be! Hehe!

I will never forget how happy this match made me. I think I was even happier than when I got my university acceptances. Honestly. I am crazy right? Yes, I love Arsenal that much. It's not just a club to me.

My beloved beloved Arsenal <3

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
you were there and possibly alone.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.

And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
no one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.

(Multiple Voices)
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go,

let it go
let it go
let it go
let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go, let it go.

'Fix You' by Coldplay is such a therapeutic song. I love it. And it always sends shivers down my spine. Such a deep song. And I think regardless of what kinda mess I am in, it always gets to me. And somehow gives me some hope. I guess the song has the power to fix you.

Omg, Coldplay is love. Please come back to SG!

On the other hand, this is a really good cover by Sam Tsui (Not that he has never made a cover that isn't nice!)

ONE MORE WEEK BEFORE SCHOOL REOPENS.

I shall slack as much as possible this week and start mugging next week :D I will do well this sem, I promise.

Tears stream down your face,

When you lose something you cannot replace,

Happy New Year everyone!!

Van Persie scored and Arsenal won QPR 1-0 on homeground.

And Blackburn owned ManU at Old Trafford.

Guess what? I think its gonna be a great year without any apocalypses. Yay.

And school starts next week..and I will get my confirmed timetable on Friday :D Hopefully I will get the electives that I want!

Anyways..on the other hand..dramas are BACK.

S02E14 of Pretty Little Liars airs in the US tmr..which means I should be able to watch it by the end of this week!

And new TVD episode on Thursday and LAST SEASON of OTH begins on Wednesday..Plus Season 8 of Grey's resumes on Thursday. YAY. My dramas are back. Even if I might not be able to keep up when school resumes..well..I can at least this week I can..cause school reopens next Monday!

Can't wait for more Damon/Elena <3

Have a great year! And hope all your wishes come true!

And hope I do well for this semester and be happy, above all.

AND hopefully, RVP will renew his contract and stay at Arsenal :D

"Apart from Arsenal and Barcelona, I don't see myself playing anywhere else," he told Sky Sports News. "I will definitely be going back (to Arsenal) whenever I have time to watch games and to see the guys, and you never know in the future, why not?"

I WILL WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS IF YOU RETURN <3

Please come back!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Went out with Mummy for dinner and shopping. Yay! Meeting the peeps tmr. An eventful week ahead.

And I am watching Dexter now.

Adios!

“Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I’ve come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I’m a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember: It’s only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, ‘cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wish for. Maybe you’ll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you? The road is long and, in the end, the journey is the destination.”

-One Tree Hill

Haixxx..watching the season 9 promo for OTH makes me feel nostalgic. Yeah I know..I haven't been in touch with OTH that much since like season 7..and it isn't as good as it used to be. But still..Seasons 1-4 were THE best. I don't think any other drama could have beaten OTH Seasons 1-4. Haix. Seeing it concluding gives a nostalgic feeling but I think most people would agree that the show has to somewhat end..I mean it can't go on forever right!!

I think I shall rewatch the earlier seasons of OTH..and reminiscence Nathan/Haley and Brooke/Lucas :D

Arsenal is on a rolllllll nowwwww :D Yayness. And Thierry Henry's statue at the Emirates has been revealed.

Regardless of how humble he can be, he did change Arsenal during the Wenger years. And he is one of those players who will always be loved by the Gooners. And the best thing is that..we know that he holds the club in his heart. Will always respect him and what he has done for Arsenal. Truly a legend and one of the best :D And one of my all-time favourite players.

I miss seeing Cesc in the Arsenal shirt :( Oh wells. Time to move on from that..and I am incredibly proud of what RVP has done this season. WOAH. Stellar performances..seriously. And he has been scoring almost every single game its a lil' inhumane. But I think he deserves it. His past seasons had been plagued with injuries. It's good to see him come out of that and give incredible performances week in week out :D I REALLY HOPE HE EXTENDS HIS CONTRACT. We really, really cannot afford to loose him. He is the heart of Arsenal now. And has been an incredible goal scoring machine. Not now, Arsene! Don't let him go! Not yet at least!

Okay..anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BELOVED DADDY.

Went for buffet and I still feel stuffed cause I ate like a pig. Hahha.

Met the JC and EY peeps the previous day. It's been panning out to be quite an unforgettable holiday :D

No, I refuse to do work or anything of that sort. I am just gonna spend my time going out, meeting friends, watching movies/chickflicks, watching my dramas and most importantly, rotting at home. Yay to myself.

Okay gotta go now!

HIMYM awaits me!

Victoria Concordia Crescit.

2011-12-12T09:03:00.000-08:00

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-11-01T05:15:00.000-07:00

Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal :D

Owned them at their home soil..at Stamford Bridge..I am really on cloud nine :D

Frank Lampard but Chelski ahead after 13 mins..RVP equalised..John Terry scored, putting Chelski just before half time. In the second half, Andre Santos and Theo Walcott score for Arsenal to make it 3-2. Juan Mata scored during the last 10 mins to make it 3-3. Captain Vantastic than came to the rescue and scored 2 goals within the last 5 mins to not only win the game for Arsenal but also scored a hat trick against Chelski at THEIR HOME GROUND.

Awesome much?

It was an amazing match. Absolute thriller. I found myself biting my nails for most of the time. Bleh. But it was all worth it. Next, its against Marseille later tonight/tmr early morning.

Had the freaking Computing test today. I feel like stupid piece of shit. Seriously.

20 days left to the semester exams..and I promise, no more PLL or any American dramas..no more unnecessary youtubing and facebooking..

I have to mug my ass off.

Computing...will be the death of me. I hate it. Why won't they allow me to S/U it? :((((

I feel very stupid.

Okay. Gotta go now.

Architecture in Helsinki is amazing :D

BUH-BYEE!

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-10-22T10:23:00.000-07:00

This song isn't recent..but just saw the MV on MTV..and I can't help but be intrigued and overwhelmed by it ALL OVER AGAIN. Woahhh :D

This song is beautiful..that would be the greatest understatement of all.

Another great song that results from the collaboration between two immensely talented singers :D

Yay! A great night full of great music and now I am gonna go back to studying Computing. Hopefully the test wouldn't kill me :P

And after that Eff Comm Reflection Paper and tutorials for the week await mua.

Arsenal is up tmr! 3 POINTS PLEASE! Last week's victory against Fulham and the midweek win against Marseille (AWAY WIN, if I might add. Hehe) have given us smthg to believe in! Ramsey scored right at the end. WHEE! 3 points and currently top of the group. Hopefully Round of 16 in Champs League wouldn't be TOOO hard! And Stoke City, here we go now!

COME ON ARSENALL!!!

Till then..

Don't you think he is damnnnnnn cute?? :D :D :D

Okay anyway, peace out!

BUH-BYEE!

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

PS: Arsenal jus celebrated its 125th Anniversary yesterday! YAY! 125 years of great history, revolutionary football..and more to come. GUNNERS TO DEATH AND BEYOND THAT! Forever and ever :D :D

Monday blues..tmr the week begins again.

This song is great!

Anyway, off now. Maybe I will take a nap before studying.

Haixxxx.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-10-06T09:57:00.000-07:00

Amazing would be an understatement for this.

When I saw 'REV' written on Synyster Gates' guitar, I just died a little inside.

foREVer. RIP The Rev. Will always be remembered as one of the best drummers ever.

Avenged Sevenfold forever. Will never stop supporting them or listening to their music.

This song really makes me cry every single time I hear it.

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned,

Place and time, always on my mind,

I have so much to say but you're so far away,

2011-10-03T06:53:00.000-07:00

You know what this is? It's not just a logo. It's not just a stadium. It's the place where millions of people around the world wanna play for. It's the logo millions of people around the world worship.

You know what? It might SUCK so bad to be an Arsenal fan now with all the shit thats going on. But we love this club and will always will. Nothing about anything else can change that. Arsenal is still Arsenal and will always be my club. Nothing about other clubs will ever change that. And I will stick with Arsenal through whatever. I am not an idiot. I just love this club and as much as it hurts to see the way things have been going...stay strong gooners! Our club needs our support now. Victoria Concordia Crescit, ALL THE WAY.

After the....STOOPPIDDDDDD %^*&*^^*( London Derby, I was watching MTV. And they played 'Invincible' by Muse. That brightened up my gloomy day immediately. Matt Belamy's voice does wonders.

I know I have said it a million times but Muse is simply one of the best bands ever. And played the Harry Potter DH Part 2 score while trying to finish my Lab Report. And woah..Lily's theme and Courtyard Apocalypse were trully amazing. Lily's theme was jus....plain amazing..so heart wrenching. Woah. Alex Desplat is a genius.

Okay. Perhaps I should go and do my tutorials now. Pffftt. Exams in a month and it feels like I just started school /:

So into BROMANCE..for now. Lol. I know it sounds a lil pathetic, but its nice okay!

There there, baby,

Its just textbook stuff,

Its in the ABC of growing up,

Now, now, darling, oh don't loose your head,

Cause none of us are angels and you know I love you yeah,

All we can do is keep breathing.

Okay..shall go now.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

Physics, Integration and Computing tutorials await me....

2011-09-24T10:09:00.000-07:00

ARSENAL WON!!!!!!!

:D Okay, now my week will be happy. Heheh. PLUS, ONE WEEK HOLIDAY! Okay, I have work to do as well..but that also means that I have more time to slack. Hehe.

On the other hand,

I freaking love this song. So soothing and you can feel the pain in the song..if you know what I mean. So niceeee. Told you I was falling in love with Beast! Hehe. AJ/Gi-Kwang so cutee :D

Anyway, I am gonna continue marathoning Pretty Little Liars. Caleb and Hanna FTW :D

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-09-23T01:52:00.000-07:00

This brought tears to my eyes. Especially with my favourite Coldplay song playing on the background towards the end. Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you. Bless this man. I have so much of respect for him for coming a long way and writing such a true song. WOAH. And he got a one-in-a-million comment from Simon. Which is like..WOAHHH.

Jus wish Cheryl Cole was still the judge :P

RECESS WEEK HAS BEGUN! (:

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

Written in the stars, a million miles away,

And I think I'm falling in love with Beast. hehe. EVERY DAY I SHOCK!

2011-09-20T07:56:00.000-07:00

ACHTUNG, FERTING, LOS UND LAUF.

VOR UNS BRICHT DER HIMMET AUF.

Oh well. RECESS WEEK IS APPROACHING! And I can't wait!!

For now, I have to finish Math tutorial..in order to prevent myself from lagging behind in class. Yes I have become very gwai indeed.

Time is running out,

Starlight,

Knights of Cydonia,

Stockholm Syndrome,

Undisclosed desires,

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever),

Resistance,

And those are jus some, just to say a few. Muse is so fucking amazing. I love love love Muse.

Hope Arsenal does better this weekend. Its becoming increasingly painful to be a Gunner and worse still see all these things happen in front of you..HELPLESSLY.

White Wednesday

Can you say you’ve seen an ocean
Can you say you’ve seen the sun
What would you do, if it was gone?

Cos’ I have seen them all my love
I have seen them all my son
And I can see, that it’s begun.

Wo-ho-hooo-hoo-ohooo x4

Take a look out there my brother
Take a step back if you dare
Tell me when will you, start to care?

See that mountain melt to rivers
See that forest turn to sand
Tell me could you smile, when it’s gone?

When it’s gone x8

2011-09-09T09:39:00.000-07:00

This brings back so many memories.

Running through the monsoon,

Beyond the world,

To the end of time, Where the rain won't hurt,

I almost forgot how obsessed over Tokio Hotel I used to be..memorizing even their German songs. Hahha. Great memories <3

Finally got Arsenal's new kit :D :D

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-09-04T01:42:00.000-07:00

Wow this is my 600th post.

And it has been a lazy Sunday afternoon with me mainly listening to music.

Eminem is so, so awesome ;D

This song is on repeat <3

I'm a space-bound rocketship and you heart's the moon,

and I'm aiming right at you,

And I love the Arsenal shirts online ((: H&M opened yesterday! I wanna go visit their store asap! Meanwhile, I have to mug Vectors, Complex Numbers and Matrices for the upcoming Math test. MOTIVATION PROCLAIMATION.

Peace out. Cesc scored 2 goals for Spain where they won Chile 3-2. And RVP fired 4 past San Marino where the Dutch annihilated them 11-0. Aaron Ramsey scores for Wales and Park CY scores a hat-trick against Lebanon. Now, Swansea is the match to look forward to. The season starts NOW.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-09-01T08:27:00.001-07:00

I like non-mainstream music! It's starting to grow on me.

2011-09-01T07:40:00.000-07:00

Mikel Arteta, Yossi Benayoun, Per Mertesacker, CY Park, Andre Santos.

Woah..Transfer Deadline Day was CRAZY. I wouldn't have thought that Arsenal would actually purchase Arteta and Mertesacker. But I am glad they did. Santos will be a good Clichy replacement at Left Back..how good..only time will tell and the way he adapts to the English game as well. As for Mertesacker, he is freaking good. I have watched him play for Germany and he is really talented. So no complaints about that one..except that his height would probably intimidate his teammates and that would be kinda ironic cause he is taking the Number 4 jersey..and Cesc wasn't exactly tall as well. Oh well. Cesc will always be an Arsenal hero <3

Anyway..the Arteta deal seemed to be off a few hours before the 11pm deadline. But after Arteta pushed for a transfer, terms were agreed with Everton and the Spaniard became a Gunner. And Benayoun arrives on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

I think it has been quite a good day..and a rather peculiar one for Arsenal. I mean..Wenger doesn't sign Arteta-ish players..it jus didn't seem him to do so. But anyway I am glad he did. Even after bringing in reinforcements in defence, there was a big hole left in midfield with the departures of Samir Nasri and Cesc. So..I am glad he brought in Arteta..I mean, I rate him highly and he could be great for Arsenal provided he prevents long injury spells. And for Benayoun..he is a versatile player and he will add considerable amount of depth to the squad. So..overall happy :D Though if Arsenal had started splashing the cash a little earlier, they might have sealed deals for Eden Hazard or Gotze..but I guess it was also highly unlikely that they would move from their respective clubs given their tender age of 20 and 19 (YES HE IS MY AGE) respectively. Perhaps they want the safety net of their current club and learn their trade properly before moving? Hazard looks like a real deal. Hopefully, Arsenal can secure a deal for him in the future when he is ready to leave Lille.

So anyway, when Gooners look at their squad today, at least they can smile a little bit rather than live in fear of what might happen every single match even if they might be up against mediocre, winnable sides. At least the squad's depth has increased and Arsenal wouldn't have to rely too much on the likes of Frimpong and Jenkinson to finish the job..I mean they are youngsters who should be learning..they can't be thrown out there and be expected to perform incredibly with minimal experience!!

So there it is:

Chezzer

Sagna - Vermaelen - Mertesacker - Santos

Wilshere - Song - Arteta

Walcott - RVP (c) - Gervinho

Looks a lot more promising than the team that played against ManU. Cause that team was jus..really amateurish and lacked A LOT of experience. And with the likes of Arshavin and Ramsey in the team as well, there is room for rotation :D

So yay..finally hope!

I read in an Arsenal blog which quoted Dark Knight,'the night is darkest just before dawn.' Well..I hope the night part has passed. We have had to endure a really stressful summer where the squad's dynamics changed considerably. And the current team looks slightly different compared to the Arsenal team for the past few years. No, I am not gonna say Arsenal can now win the title or the Champs League. I guess with this team Top 4 would be a considerable achievement. But how well they will perform together..only time will tell. And I really hope they will do well. Gooners have had to endure a pretty rough patch as Arsenal fans. And if anything, I think it has only made us realise how much this club means to us and it has somehow brought us together. Don't ask me to explain how..it's jus a feeling.

WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL, WE DO.

ARSENAL, WE LOVE YOU.

The season starts at Swansea. For now, its international break and I hope no one comes back with bad injuries. And I hope Wilshere returns to match fitness ASAP. <3

Oh and congrats to Cesc for scoring his first goal for Barca at his La Liga debut at the Camp Nou. Glad he doesn't have to be a benchwarmer there like some predicted he would be and that he wouldn't be able to break through a star-studded team with the likes of Iniesta and Xavi as competition in midfield. But he is a world-class player and he will step it up a notch playing for Barca now. And what he had to say after winning the UEFA Cup: 'All I can think of now is what AFC has done for my career. Always in my heart.' This is why I will always love you, Cesc. Glad to see you still have Arsenal in you..and like you said,'Once a gunner, Always a gunner.'

I felt like shit after watching the game. Like what the fucking hell was that? Absolute disgrace to a club of this stature and one that created every piece of negative history that it possibly could. What the shit! Where is my club heading towards? Whats going on?

And I felt like crap. I tried to mug Econs but ofcourse, when your mind is not in it, you jus can't. Discussed the match with a few people and went to bed with a heavy heart.

This jus could NOT be happening. The past 6 months has jus been nighmarish and absolutely painful to be an Arsenal supporter.

Today...

I think I accept the result. Yes, we got our asses kicked. Absolutely embarrassing and completely unnecessary. And no excuse is acceptable. But you know what? We have hit rock bottom. And at this point the only direction to go is upwards. Yes, I am being optimistic..but yet, I have experienced rock bottom myself and I know how it feels. It can't be any worse beyond this. So come on Arsenal! REDEMPTION STARTS FROM THE NEXT GAME. No, I am not talking about trophies or whatsoever. Let's start with winning the next game first. If we start winning games and maintain a decent level of consistency, trophies will come. First, master the basics.

And the Arsenal fans at the game were fantastic..so much so that Arsenal has come forward to give them a free away ticket for a Premier League fixture. Yes, they were amazing. Its bad enough to witness it on telly. Its even worse to witness it LIVE..,in front of thousands of Mancs fan singing GGMU. But yet, they cheered their team on. And they stayed for 20 minutes past the final whistle to cheer their club on. Now, thats the Arsenal spirit. I think I could learn a thing or two from them. And I almost forgot what this club thought me..to NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP and to always BELIEVE.

These are tough times. But let's stand together. And we can overcome this. We can. We ARE Arsenal. And nothing about any other team can beat us. Yes, we have hit a slump and things haven't looked good for us. But let's not give up..and look at the positives and improve from here.

Come on..we can do this! We have lost great players before and we continued with grace. And we will do so this time round as well.

OOH-TO-BE-A-GOONER.

Arsenal forever and always.

Sometimes when I think about Cesc Fabregas, it just makes me cringe and almost cry that I will never see him in an Arsenal shirt again.

Oh, why did he have to leave soon. :(

Fuck this.

Anyway, Arsenal qualified for Champs League!

And I don't remember feeling so..hopeless for Arsenal. Yes, I am serious. I think the current team has been the weakest Arsenal team in years. And I can't bear to see it getting smashed into pieces. Wahhh..come on Arsenal! Invincibles..one of the greatest teams in the world..THIS IS NOT WHERE WE SHOULD BE :(

I know players don't define a club. Any player is NEVER bigger than a club. Arsenal has 125 years worth of history and nothing about any remarkable player can be compared to that. But I can't bear seeing the best of Arsenal leave every summer. Its really frustrating and irritating. Why don't they believe in this club? Why don't they wanna support and play for it all the way, until the end like Carraghar and Stevie G for Liverpool! :( :( :( :(

Shiz this is really depressing. I have never been in a situation where I actually doubted on Arsenal's chances of qualifying for the Champs League group stage. WHAT HAVE WE COME TO :( :( And oh Cesc, why did you have to leave?? :(

Anyway, Marseille is in Arsenal's group and they would prolly put up the toughest fight amongst the other opponents. Hope Arsenal will be okay.

I really can't bear to see Arsenal become what it is becoming.

COME ON YOU GUNNERSSSSSSS.

Regardless of what happens, Arsenal will always be my club and will be the only club I will EVER support. Arsenal all the way..no matter what happens.

And a fucking beautiful song by Fort Minor which I think I have posted several times before but I still love it.

Can't believe I missed them when they came to SG! Soooo amazinggg <3 Have loved them since 'The man who can't be moved'! ((:

I don't remember feeling so empty in a long day.

Mind games.

Perhaps sleep is what I need.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

Please come back home.

2011-08-20T00:09:00.000-07:00

I'm a thief and I'll take you.

Loveeee this song (:

YAY! I have finished Physics tutorial :D I shall the others later. I shall try to delay solving vectors and complex numbers and much as possible /:

And I rewatched Step Up yesterday! Channing Tatum is awesome please. Step Up NEVER gets old ((: And its kinda cute that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan got married sometime after the movie. Heheee ((:

And I hope Arsenal won't screw up against 'Pool tonight. First home game of the season in the Premiership. They owe us this much. COME ON YOU GUNNERSSSSSS.

Okay I'm off. I shall do something more productive on this lazy Saturday afternoon.

Peace out.

BUH-BYEE!

We've LOST Cesc Fabregas.

I knew this would be coming one day but ofcourse none of us really thought it would be this soon.

Yes I am very sad. But you know what. Life goes on. He was a phenomenal, world class player and I hope he finds success in (fucking) Barca. Sorry, I will always hold my prejudice against Barca. I can't help it.

Players come and go, passion is forever. As Lee Dixon said, nothing is bigger than the cannon itself. So what now? We jus have to move on. We don't have a choice. But I will miss Cesc a lot. That goal against AC..against Juve..the super finish against Spurs..and the list goes on and on. He contributed a lot to the club and with that goodbye to him. He is and will always be one of my favourite players. Jus wish he hadn't left so early...

All the best Cesc. While you will be sorely missed, life goes on. And I hope to see you when we play against you..and to hammer the shit out of Barca. :D

A draw against Newcastle and a narrow win against Udinese...I hope Arsenal improves and does better in the following weeks especially since Arsenal is gonna be up against Liverpool and ManU.

What is happening to Arsenal?

I think I have become really sick of (pretending) to ignore every single Arsenal news that comes by. Seriously. It all makes me so depressed. First, Clichy left. Then now there is speculation surrounding other players. And even Wenger mentioned that Cesc feels unsettled and since he is also carrying an injury, he was dropped form the pre-season squad. WTFH. Seriously. I was seriously heartbroken to see Clichy leave okay. He is such an incredible player who remained filial and supportive of Arsenal throughout. And I will always, always respect him for whatever he has done and contributed to the club. He always held Arsenal in his heart. And he let HIM leave? He has been the best LB for Arsenal in YEARS. Okay that idiotic Cole was good. But he wasn't loyal to Arsenal so I am not gonna count him in. Clichy displayed the Arsenal spirit. He always gave his all in games. Yes, his form might have dipped a little last season. But we all know what he is capable of. WE CAN'T JUS LET HIM LEAVE. WHY DIDN'T WENGER LET HIM STAY :( :( :(

And now the talk of Nasri and Cesc is REALLYYYY pissing me off. Okay seriously. Jus because you are gonna be so particular with money you are gonna let 2 of the best players we have got jus LEAVE. Okay I agree and understand why and how Cesc feels unsettled and maybe he might wanna move back to his boyhood club looking at the lack of trophies in comparison to the Catalans who seem to be winning for fun. I MEAN COME ON FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. LAST SEASON'S LAST FEW MONTHS WERE BEYOND, WELL BEYOND DISMAL. ABYSMAL. HORRIBLE. HORRENDOUS. And the performances weren't even of Arsenal's usual standard. So much for performing so well in the beginning..all for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the end. AT LEAST they could have won the Carling Cup..which we all know what happened in the end. It was such a winnable game..and Arsenal being Arsenal ofcourse knows how to screw up best. Pffftt.

But I do NOT want Cesc or Nasri to leave. THEY CAN'T. THEY. JUST. CAN'T. Please, please keep them. And CESC, ARSENAL MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE TODAY. I KNOW YOU MIGHT HAVE SUPPORTED BARCA SINCE YOU WERE BORN BUT ARSENAL SAW THE TALENT IN YOU BEFORE THEM AND WE, GOONERS, HAVE TRUSTED YOU AND CHEERED YOU ON SINCE YOU WERE 16. And we have always displayed our unwavering loyalty to you. I think the least you can do is to pay us back with a little bit more trust in this club. Besides, its not like you played that well to put the blame on your teammates or the club for the horrendous show the last few months of the campaign last season.

THIS IS SO DEPRESSING.

I really want Arsenal to win okay. I really do. And I really expected more impactful signings. WHY DOES A SCUM CLUB LIKE MAN CITY GET AMAZING PLAYERS LIKE DAVID SILVA AND SERGIO AGUERO WHY WE, ARSENAL, KEEP GOING AFTER 19-YEAR-OLD AMATEURS WHO CAN ONLY JOIN THE YOUTH TEAM FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON?!?!?!?!?!? I mean..okay sign youth players. We need them for the future of this club. But ALSO sign players who can play in the first team and contribute next season. Not jus Gervinho. WE NEED MORE SIGNINGS. ESP IN DEFENCE AND DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD. Alex Song needs a good competitor and a PROPER Defensive Midfielder to back him up and play with Cesc when/if Song is injured. Why? Teams and Barca, City, Manure and Chelski seem to have so many good players who never seem to be like mercenaries and don't seem to leave after a mere couple of seasons! WHY ARSENAL?!??!?!?!? WHY!!!! Ughhhhhh this is really frustratinggggg.

I really don't want a repetition of the past few seasons this new season. But it has become a pattern that...I don't quite know what else to expect. I will NEVER forgive anyone at AFC for letting Gael Clichy go. They should have secured/renewed his contract! And they better do so for Nasri if not I forsee a Flamini-ish situation..:'(

Come on, Arsenal! We have supported you through everything! Give us hope to believe in you. Please, please, please, please don't let us down. We stay up to watch the games, come to support you, spend ridiculous amounts of money on Arsenal merchandise. This club means EVERYTHING to us. Please give us something to look forward to next season.

Haixx..Cesc, I hope you realise that the Emirates is where you trully belong. And its where the people will NEVER stop supporting you and looking up to you. Its here where you became who you are today. This IS where you belong. Clear your head and please realise that Barca didn't see your talents at first. They saw right through you preferring to trust other players. We saw the qualities in you and groomed you from the time you were a mere, scrawny 16-year-old boy. You know you love Arsenal. So don't tell us that our Captain has lost hope in the club we love to death.

Come on, Arsenal!!!!!!!!!!

COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

We are definitely better than this.

Insomnia Insomnia Insomnia.

I jus CAN'T sleep before 4am :(((

On the other hand, the more I think about Arsenal..the more I think the trophy drought is gonna continue. Give me a reason to believe, please.

She izz goooodddd :D

I think I am addicted to The Wanted's music now. Hehe.

Okay I am gonna try to get some beauty sleep now :D

BUH-BYE!

woah. haven't blogged in quite a while.
Anywaysss..Back to SG. Uni stats in a week. Camp was beyond great.
And I watched HP 7 Part 2 last week. And I cried my eyes out while watching Snape die and while seeing his memories. The Prince's Tale as it is in the book. It was an amazingggg movie. One that I would definitely rewatch once I get my hands on the DVD.

Alan Rickman gives the performance of the series, seriously. The story itself was so heart wrenching. And the way he portrayed it..I don't think anyone came out of the theatre with dry eyes. The part where he held Lily's lifeless body and cried...I just lost it there. He loved her so much but yet never got to be anything more than a friend for her. But at least he made a HUGE difference in Harry's life and his quest to destroy Voldemort and the Horcruxes. Love Snape <3

And ofcourse the fabulous trio whom everyone has followed since Day 1. It was really nostalgic to see them standing outside Hogwarts, hand-in-hand, looking up at the sky after Voldemort's end. Reminds me of the first few scenes in the first movie at Hogwarts. Woah. It was a long time ago. God Bless JKR for writing such an amazing series and for touching so many people's hearts with a story that many can relate to as not just as their childhood dream but also a story from which they learnt so much. Expecto Patronum!!!

And I have finished my matriculation :D
Okay perhaps I will rewatch some of the old HP movies.

I hope Wenger renews Nasri's contract asap. Or else, I forsee a Flamini situation coming :( DON'T GO SAMIR! ARSENAL IS YOUR HOME!

Transfer window closes in August and all we can do until then is wait and hope and not do anything stupid that will make us regret.
We ARE Arsenal.

PRICELESS.

It's almost 4am. I stayed up to watch the HP Worldwide Premiere on YouTube LIVE from London and I cried my eyes out. Freak. Actual end of childhood.

I am not a humongous Potter fan but when its a book you first started reading when you were merely 7 or 8 years old. Thats a huge thing okay. My first HP book is more than 11 years old. Yes. And its still intact (well mostly, disregarding the extremely yellow tainted, brittle pages) forever. And to actually see it end is pretty...saddening and emotional. HP is one of those things that has always been around. Through Primary and Secondary Schools..through JCs. It represents a huge part of life. And to think that the movie series alone has lasted for 10 years..the HP influence has lingered for a longer period of time.

Why do all good things have to end? End of the Transformers trilogy. End of the HP Series. This is too saddening :(

So many things can be learnt from Harry Potter.

For instance, the Patronus Charm. Even in the darkest of times when the foulest creatures on Earth threaten to suck out the soul in you and prevent you from feeling happy ever again, think of the happy moments in life and let it fill you up. No hope is lost. There is still a lot to live for. Life isn't over. Look on the bright side and be a fighter. Fight for your loved ones. Fight for yourself. You don't deserve to just look back and remember merely the dark times in your life.

Deep ain't it? It might jus be a tool to fend off Dementors. But the concept is a lot deeper than that when you think about it.

And just the mere themes of the story. Love, loss, death, tragedy, good and evil, war, fear, greed, betrayal, loyalty, bravery..woah..JK Rowling is a genius. And these things..everyone can relate to. Anybody. Everyone has experienced at least some of their elements in their lives. And she presented it in such a real way that jus intrigued the reader. She might have built the plot around a magical world (literally speaking) and come up with uber cool names (SALAZAR SLYTHERIN! Godric's Hollow! Horcruxes! Expalliames! Wingardium Leviosa! etc.) to suit the world which probably made her books more attractive to young readers. But the base plot was nothing extravagant. It had such real elements that anyone could have experienced. Anyone..people not necessarily related to the wizarding world. People like us: Muggles.

And mind you, this book might have ended. The movie series might have ended. But the characters will stay in our hearts forever. She is an amazing writer who made nerd people, spectacles, messy hair, shabby outlook and normal looks kinda cool itself. And she showed that insecurities are normal and that one should jus learn to accept reality and fight against it. And that there is a light to guide us regardless of how dark it is. Just believe. And believe in yourself. Thank you JKR for a magical childhood (Even though I wasn't a hardcore Potterhead the books did touch me). This is not the end. This will live in our hearts forever.

Ron and Hermione FTW <3

CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2.

On another note, Gael Clichy has left. Yes, the last Invincible in Arsenal has left. End of an era, perhaps? And my heart just sank when I saw the news on Arsenal website. I read he was having a medical with Man City the previous day. But ofcourse, me being me I chose not to really believe it. But obviously, it turned out to be true. Oh wells. I loved him loads while he was a Gunner. And I still do cause I respect him a lot for all that he has done for Arsenal. His tireless work at Left Back position. Always giving everything he had. I hope he finds what he wants in Man City. And I hope Arsenal can overturn its rotten luck and inconsistent form come next season. Maybe its a jinx that when I always say ' Next season we will win smthg' they don't. So perhaps, this time round I will jus not say anything. Maybe they will win smthg afterall. Call me delusional. Whatever. My brain is jus too fried for any further thoughts.

Come on Arsenal. Please don't let me down..again. No more stupid inconsistency. And for the sake of God, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING NASRI AND CESC GO. Not for now at least. We need them. Especially Cesc. Whom the team is pretty much built around..and he is our talismatic figure PLUS Captain. Please freaking spend and bring in solid talent. And I am not talking about 16 year old amateurs whose presence in the first team will only be felt after a couple of years.

Okay this hasn't been a very good week..

But on the brighter side, my internship is over. Kinda bitersweet. I really miss the people. Amazing group of people with whom I have had loads of fun with. Complained about everything related to the company or supervisors to them. Had fun laughing while eating or pigging out at the Pantry. Interns' outings were always memorable. Will never forget these experience where I met a few people who have become really close to me. I am thankful for this opportunity (Okay now I sound like I am giving a Farewell or Thank you speech.)

Okay. I SHOULD sleep now. Or maybe I will reminiscence some of my childhood before going to bed. Or before my mother wakes up and scolds me for staying up too late and 'spoiling my health.' Whichever comes first.

2011-06-28T20:37:00.000-07:00

I am at work and I am blogging. Wow, I am such a good employee and I might be screwed if my boss finds me. But what the hell, who gives a shit? I am leaving in 3 days and not gonna look back again. So whatever. I don't care. Yes, I am that apathetic.

Guess what I was doing 10 min ago? HAHAH. I was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. My copy of the book is like...an artefact. Something of such importance. It doesn't contain that much of history...but enough to mean a lot to me. Yes, the pages are all stained yellow and a lot of its edges of the cover might be chipping off, revealing the yellow pages beneath it. And on the cover page, I see my HUGE handwriting from when I was in primary school. And I had written there the exact date I had bought the book. Wow. It brings back memories when I first got my hands on the book and started reading the first chapter, The Boy Who Lived. Wow, this IS childhood. (Well at least a significant part of it.)

I am not a humungous Harry Potter fan like some. But I love the series and they mean a lot to me. Hold a lot of significance which reminds me of childhood and primary school days when I used to carry the bulky Golblet of Fire and Order of Phoenix books to school to read during recess breaks. No, I am not an avid reader. But this book..is something. How can a kid not be enticed by the magic in the book. Not just the magic they do with their respective wands. But also..the wizard games like Quidditch..how cool their lessons are in contrast to our (er humph) school lessons which are OBVIOUSLY a lot less funner. Hahah. Not that I'm complaining. They are both from two totally different worlds.

But anyway, here comes the poignant moment on 12 July where THE LAST installment of the HP movie series will be released. And it pretty much marks the official end of childhood to many. From the beginning where JKR portrays a scrawny boy with round glasses and a lightning scar in his forehead to him growing up with his friends, Ron and Hermione, and conquering the Dark Lord and the most feared wizard in the wizarding world..wow..JKR is a genius. It's kinda bittersweet..like the whole series ending and all. But ofcourse she cannot continue writing forever until Harry becomes a grandfather or something. But ofcourse, all good things have to come to an end. And omg..finally Ron and Hermione get together. Like FINALLYYY.

And omg Snape. I love you. His unwavering loyalty and love for Lily Potter jus makes me cringe every time I read his story in Deathly Hallows. Yes, he might have unintentionally made a mistake and revealed the prophecy to Voldemort which eventually resulted in the death of Lily Potter. And yes, he did join the Death Eaters at first at his own will. But he sacrificed the rest of his life to protect the son of the woman he loved. Pretty heroic, don't you think? So much so that his patronus resembles Lily's implying that he has loved her for almost the whole of his life. Woah. He might be sorta a pure blood supremacist, smthg he probably he inherited from the Slytherin tradition. But his bravery is trully remarkable.

Oh wells. Its kinda sad to realise that this is the end of the series. But HP will never die. Never. It has touched so many people's hearts and has affected so many people in so many ways. I will probably keep my yellow stained artefact of the Philosopher's stone and its condition might worsen so much so that the pages become incredibly brittle. Not that they already are..but I guess it might worsen. Thats what I meant. But it still signifies so much.

Rewatched the Deathly Hallows movie yesterday. But I jus wished the director didn't make the series seem to dark and gloomy even though that was kinda the situation in the last book. But he could have made the mood slightly lighter.

Jus a thought thats all.

Okay I shall leave it here now before I get eternally screwed for misusing the internet. ;D

And I hope Fabregas wouldn't leave ;( PLEASE DON'T. Please Please.

The Great Singapore Sale!

I have officially become shopaholic. I took half day today to go to Mango to shop. AND OMFG SERIOUSLY, THEIR SALE IS SOOOOO GOOOD! 30 bucks for trousers and 49 bucks for a pair of jeans. THATS SUPER CHEAP COMPARED TO THEIR USUAL PRICE! And their current season's collection is soo good! If only I had the patience to withstand the crowd and small space between the lines of clothes in the shop, I would have bought a lot more than I actually did. It was soo good! Everyone go check it out!

GSS has jus started! I feel guilty spending my salary on clothes. But they are such good prices! Its like soooo tempting and almost impossible to not spend! I mean puh-lease...Dorothy Perkins is selling its jeans for 30 BUCKS! THATS SUPER CHEAP AND VERY RARE OF DP STUFF TO BE SO CHEAP! And Taka sale was sooo good! Bags and wallets at really good prices! Like some of them had more than 50% discount! And Levi's jeans are sold at 200 bucks for 2 pairs of jeans! Okay, 200 bucks is not cheap but 200 bucks for 2 pairs of jeans from Levi's is super freaking good!!! GSS <3

And I can't wait for Zara to start its sale! I wanna check out Zara jeans :D

And Harris was selling Harry Potter books for SGD 8.50!!! Omg thats freaking cheap! And they had drama DVDs for discounted prices toooo :D And I finally got my Muse and Jimmy Eat world shirts from HMV :D They were discounted too! And Tokio Hotel's Humanoid album (along with a lot other albums) were/was sold at SGD 8.50! Thats super cheap okay! Usually, albums are sold at 20 bucks each!

Yay, I am loving GSS! Good prices = I like :D

No, I am not a shopaholic. I jus love sales :D

Hehe.

So I finally had some time to catch up on my sleep and really rot at home. I am currently watching Fringe :D It's a brilliant show, trust me. So good and intelligent. I think the writers portrayed and wrote the storylines really well :D

And..I went to watch XMen with the peeps when William came back to SG :D Loved the show. It was better than Wolverine..probably cause there were more characters in this movie. And that means more powers. Equals more fun, excitement and effects! Loved the show :D Now, I am looking forward to TRANSFORMERS! (Yes, I am a Transformers + Shia Labeouf freak!) and HP 7 Part 2 :D Really good movies coming up! Yay!

And went to Universal Studios last week with the Ackles. Really had a lot of fun putting aside the dizziness as a result of the BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA roller coaster rides. But it was a really fun experience. And the best thing was that I didn't have to queue AT ALL cause Ackles works there and she got us Express tickets for ALL THE RIDES. It was awesome and completely enjoyed myself. Was so worth it and going again with the EY peeps after our internship! Yay!

And since I feel so aimless and stupid, I have started to read ebooks..and I am actually reading stuff every day..be it the news or some random online story. Hehe. No, I am not a nerd. I guess I am jus starting the appreciate the art of writing? I never really read that much..I mean jus some books..quite limited but I am starting to appreciate reading. Hehe. I like Science Fiction novels loads. Not like..LOVE. :D

And I think I am going for NTU Engine Camp. Yeyyeyeyey.

Okay, back to Fringe now.

BUH-BYEE!

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

PS: Isn't it so cute that van Persie and Fabregas are holidaying together and that they went to watch NY Bulls game to support Henry! AWWWW. SEE! THATS THE ARSENAL SPIRIT! <3 And please please Nasri and Clichy don't leave us. Something tells me they won't (instinct/gut feeling again) and I really hope I am right!

I wish I can be like Simon from Misfits. You know when you are filled with regret, you have the power to become invisible. I wish I can have that sometimes. Just this feeling that you need to be alone from everyone and everything else to clear your head.

Anyway, I accepted NTU's offer..after thinking and talking to wonderful people in my life who have guided me in so many ways. So yay! NTU, here I come! At least I know quite a number of people going there :D Hope my 4 years will be great ;D I am a bit intimidated by the thought of university.

I have jus been drowning myself with The OC, Misfits, Grey's Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars. Nice. I am really becoming a couch potato. And I need to exercise. Must. But somehow, I can't gather the motivation to do so. Sadface. And I suddenly miss One Tree Hill a lot. Can't really believe the last season is gonna be starting in a couple of months. But okay, I admit they kinda have to end it. I mean it has been going on for like uh..8 seasons? And its not as good as it used to be..But its still that nostalgic feeling. When you see it ending the beginning seasons flash through your mind and you start to reminiscence all of the older seasons. Haix..I miss OTH Seasons 1-4 ):

And I am listening to Justin Bieber's 'Overboard' now. I am neither a Bieber hater nor a Bieber-obsessed fan. But it's a nice song-Period.

And The Script's new album is beyond amazing. :O

And I realised I haven't blogged about Arsenal for quite some time. What can I say? I really thought and to some extent this belief made me to think that it would really happen..the fact that they would win SOMETHING this season. And the slump started with the dismal Carling Cup performance. Okay maybe not dismal..but an error that cost us the Carling Cup and subsequently Arsenal went from being in 4 competitions to NONE within a span of a few weeks. I am tired of them repeating this stint EVERY SEASON. CONSISTENCY-master it. Then we can talk about titles and beat Man-Fucking-U. Easier said than done, ofcourse. But now its in Wenger's hands to bring in reinforcements or train the lads to be better prepared for the next season. Better prepared such that they not only put up a fight till February of the season but throughout the ENTIRE season. And he can start by renewing Nasri's and Clichy's contracts. Ofcourse they will demand for a pay rise..Fabregas and van Persie earn like 200k per week...and these two play almost as well or even better than the talismanic captain and vice-captain. But I think keeping them and issuing them new contracts is key..the foundation sorta thing. THEN, WENGER PLEASE BUY. Don't need to splash the cash and pay exorbitant sums of money like the Galacticos did last season. BUT REASONABLY..and bring in players of quality who will perform week in week out. ARSENAL NEEDS THAT. They cannot rely on this group of players every game to perform. And Arsenal needs IMPACT, POWER substitutes to come up with a moment of magic or smthg of that sort when they are not playing well.

Arsenal is the best footballing side in the country and maybe even in the world..with the only other club to compete for this title being Barca. But thats not enough to win titles. Yes, play the beautiful football week in week out. BUT ENSURE YOU SCORE AND BRING HOME THREE POINTS. Ofcourse, there will be slip-ups. Thats inevitable. It's not possible to repeat The Invincibles' feat every season. But don't loose or draw excessively. AND DON'T LET MOMENTS OF STUPIDITY MAKE YOU LOOSE POINTS UNNECESSARILY. This has happened too many times this season with Arsenal. But factors like referee's biasness..we can't control that. But we are Arsenal. We can play well despite the fact that we have crazily young crop of players who haven't even reached their prime. We have quality no doubt. BUT MUST PRODUCE. Must win trophies. Thats the thing that is lacking. With a more mature mentality and greater consistency, Arsenal will be VERY tough to beat, mark my words. But they need to get there. And this talk of 'Next season' is obviously tiring Gunners' fans. No more next season. Let's win. And let's win it now. IT'S UP FOR GRABS NOW, remember?

Arsenal has had AMAZING games this season. They played FREAKING well against Man United to win them 1-0 at home. And really glad that Ramsey's making a great comeback, capping off his performance with a goal. And I love Jack Wilshere..that kid (Okay I shouldn't be calling him kid cause he's kinda my age but oh wells..comparing his age to other footballers, he is a kid) has so much heart and he gives so much to the team. But I don't think he has the influence that Cesc has on the team. PLEASE KEEP CESC. Don't let him go, not yet at least. HIS TIME HERE ISN'T OVER. And it can be seen so clearly. We definitely lack that extra bit..that extra essence of creativity when he is not around. He is influential. He is a talismanic figure. He is our CAPTAIN. No, he can't leave. He didn't have a good season mostly because he didn't have a proper pre-season after coming back late after completing the entire WC Campaign with Espana. With a proper pre-season, I am sure he will be a lot better. But this season, Wilshere, Nasri and even van Persie (despite the fact that he was out for a significant part of the beginning of the season due to injury) have out shined Cesc. Nasri was class till Christmas. If only he had carried on that form till the end..the end product might have been different. But at the same time, its hard to predict these kinda things.

Well..they need to be more consistent. And fight HARDER. Have more heart. Not that I am saying they don't have the hunger to win. Wenger's famous word-HUNGER. But they have to show it more on the pitch. NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE. We used to be the masters of that. BRING THAT ATTITUDE BACK. Be proud to represent this club. Play your heart out and throw everything you have out there and do the talking on the pitch. VICTORY THROUGH HARMONY, PEOPLE!

If only we do that..come next May..everyone will be talking about Arsenal.

COME ON ARSENAL. One club. One destiny. One heart. One Arsenal.

Promise this, if I die before I wake,

Promise this, take the chance to say your grace.

CHERYL COLE IS AWESOMEEEE!!!

woopss.

I should be asleep by now. But what the heck..when have I ever slept at a humanely right time?

I will take 700 from the interchange tmr...probably the 710 or 720am bus. Then I will sleep. Then I will wake up when the bus is passing by the Esplanade. Then I will try to stay awake and then alight. Enter One Raffles Quay. It will be 8am plus (time I reach depends on traffic along highway). Go to Serene's seat and sleep till 9am. Then talk to Celine. Then talk to Ben and Kim. Make fun of Andrew and talk about Arsenal (Basically whoever I see on my way to my seat). Drag myself to my seat. Bitch about everything to Isabel and TR..and ofcourse my BFFFFFF. Tax coms. Random sametimes with the other peeps. LUNCH!!!!!! RED MANGOOOOOO!

Come back. Sleep at Serene's seat till 230pm (I am such a pig, I know). Tax coms. And I will be rushed..MUST HAND IN BY 530..or whatever time! LATE ALREADY! And I rush. And I work, work, work. Work till 830pm plus. Take cab home with Isabel and Wan Ting. Bathe. Computer. Sleep.

What an amazing, interesting life I have? ):

Not that I am really complaining. This is supposed to be an amazing opportunity for me to learn smthg. But heck..I can't help it. I AM PERPETUALLY TIRED. AND I AM NOT KIDDING. It's soooo hard for me to wake up every morning. Haix ): Wish my body generates adrenaline or smthg naturally so that I will always be active and not be a pig. ): I need to be less pessimistic and more OPTIMISTIC. OPTIMISM. OPTIMISM.

Haix. One Tree Hill is gonna end soon ): Either this season or next. Haix. Sucks. I have been watching it since I was Sec3. Probably not as long as I watched Prison Break. But still..saddening ): ): I freaking love Nathan <3 hehe.

I hate them for separating Chess Club ): We will ALWAYS be CC ;D

On a even sadder note..Man U got to the final of Champs League. I really hope Barca tears them apart. Not like I prefer Barca to Man U..but more genuine hatred for Man U, relatively speaking.

Haix.

Okay I am talking crap.

I shall sleep now.

Nights.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY CESC FABREGAS <33

I love you. And always will.(: Please don't ever leave us, thanks :D

MAROON 5 LIVE IN SINGAPORE WAS AMAZINGGGGGGG.

Seriously. Didn't expect to be so on during their concert. They played all of my favourite songs of theirs including some other amazing songs. I jus wish they would have played 'Goodnight Goodnight' from It wont'e be soon before Long album. But nevertheless, I had the time of my life. The only drawback was the fact that my camera was effed up and refused to take pictures. Hence, all my pictures were like sorta blurred or shaky. So I couldn't use my zoom feature to magnify the gorgeous and oh-so-hot Adam Levine. Nevertheless..it was AMAZING.

Cabbed to the Singapore Indoor Stadium and met Shalini there. Then we walked in. We saw huge crowds streaming in. Some were still queueing to buy tickets. Last minute decisions probably. Anyway..we walked in and we spent a good 10 minutes searching for our seats cause we enterred via the wrong entrance D: Was supposed to enter via East entrance but we enterred via North entrance. We saw the merchandise on display for a while. Then went inside and sat down and were discussing about how they were gonna perform or which songs they were gonna perform. I was sooooo uber excited. I couldn't contain myself. It was like butterflies fluttering round my stomach. I COULD NOT WAIT. WHERE WAS MY ADAM LEVINE? AHAHHA/

It was supposed to start at 8pm but oh wells, as usual it got delayed and only started at about 8:20pm. When they were setting up the stage, we kept looking at the corners of the stage hoping to see one of the band members before they made their actual, eventual appearance. But we couldn't ): And they set up Adam's mike. And were like gushing and getting so enthusiastic saying, 'OMG THAT'S ADAM'S MIKE. OMFG, ADAM LEVINE IS GONNA STAND THERE AND SING.' Sounds stupid, I know. We were like a pair of kids so excited. AHHAHA, we couldn't help it. AND FINALLY. YES. THE STADIUM BLACKED OUT. WE STARTED SCREAMING. Like anything. AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICES. Everyone did. We wanted to run to the front of the stage but oh wells, we had our bags with us and the thought of leaving it unattended to was...erm..not a good idea. The band members started coming on. And the spotlight was on centre stage where ADAM LEVINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. We started screaming,'ADAM. ADAM. ADAM' and yes he finally came on! OMG ADAM LEVINE IN FRONT OF MY EYES. Can't be happening, but yes it was. I couldn't believe it. The feeling was so overwhelming. So amazing. I can't pick the right words to describe it. I was ecstatic! HAHAHA. Even that wouldn't suffice. And they started playing their opening song, 'Misery', from their latest album, Hands all Over. I won't complain too much about my seat. Well yes, it wasn't in a place where the band was soo close to me. But close enough to see them and see Adam's facial expressions and what not. I was contended. More than jus :D

I have to say all of them performed really well. Inevitably, spotlight was on Adam. But the others had their moments and they played an amazing gig. The guitar solos were amazing and Adam raised his guitar to the top of his head and played. James Valentine's guitar solos were to DIE FOR. EARGASMIC OKAY. It was super loud but super good. And I didn't expect that cause M5 is more of a funky-pop kinda band. Not really rock. But they performed really well with their guitar solos and even extended some of their guitar solos from hits like 'Shiver' and 'Harder to breathe' and made amazing melodies with them. IT WAS SO GOOD. HOW DID HE STRUM THE GUITAR SO WELL AND HIT THOSE NOTES?? How on earth did he do that so quickly?? And Matt Flynn's drumming..OMG...DISGUSTINGLY GOOD. How did the hit the drums so fast? And he seemed to be doing it sooo efforlessly throughout the concert. Even when he had his solo moment where Adam was introducing all the band members and letting them strum or play their instruments to the audience's awe. AMAZING (over-usage of this word in this post sorry)

And I thought Adam was a great performer. He covered all areas of the stage and never at point concentrated his energy and singing towards one portion of the crowd. So in other words, everyone could enjoy every single second of the concert :D My favourite performance was 'She will be loved.' He divided the crowd into two and made us sing some of the verses simultaneously, like how its sung in the actual song in the album version. And I loved the moment where an amber spotlight was on Adam Levine and only him and he sang some of the verses. WOAH MY HEART JUS MELTED.

And 'Makes me Wonder' was one of the most pumped up performances of the evening. Seriously. Everyone was literally SCREAMING the lyics. I could hear the guy behind me screaming the lyrics so loudly that it was apparent that his voice was cracking..or worse. LOL. AND AND..Adam walked over to my side of the stage and pointed in my direction and sang a few lines. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE HE POINTED AT ME. Pretentious, I know..but anyone in my situation would have done the same. So whatever. And it pretty much made my night. They ended their night with 'This Love' and 'Sunday Morning' being the last song.

It was a fantabulous night. I pretty much jumped up and down before they started singing every song. And I was so glad to have heard them play all of my favourite songs. Cabbed home with Shalini. And we were talking about how tight Adam's skinnies were. ahahahah. Nevertheless, he is freaking hawt okay! And reached home..showed my mum some of my fugly pictures and she was like,'Actually the guy wearing the white Tshirt (Adam Levine) is quite good looking.' AWW. WE HAVE SIMILAR TASTE, MUMMY!

And I went online to youtube some of M5's songs. And I crashed at 3am. Took half day from work and went to work past noon. And when I had woken up, I had pretty much lost my voice. ahahha. I think I sounded like a guy. And Celine said I sounded as if my voice was cracking D:

Nevertheless, it was all worth it. Worth every dollar of the 185 bucks I paid.

Songs they played from

Songs About Jane:

This Love, Harder to Breathe, She will be Loved, The Sun, Shiver, Sunday Morning, Secret

It Won't be soon Before Long:

Makes me Wonder, Wake Up Call, If I Never See your Face Again, Won't Go Home Without You

Hands All Over:

Misery, Never Gonna Leave this Bed, Stutter, Give a Little More, Hands all Over

Oh and this one..

'Females are amazing people. And we as men, are obsessed over you. So obsessed that we write songs about you, name albums after you. This song is for all you pretty, sexy ladies out there' and he sang 'She will be Loved'. And I died.

I LOVE ADAM LEVINE.

Okay BBQ today was amazing. ahahah had an eventful week. And now, I'm gonna crash.

3. Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal and it was the end of the Champions League dream in a season full of promises.

4. Skills: Bergkamp Looks: Cesc

5. Cesc + Wilshere

18. I have a couple. But I prefer to keep them to myself ;D

19. 1. Amazing football. 2. The togetherness/brotherhood you feel when you are part of this club. 3. VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT.

20. Not really things that I happy..but I think its jus some of those things that pisses you off. 1. Screw things up further when things are already effed up. 2. Instability at times. 3. Play beautiful football but fail to get the job done.

21. Ibrahim Afellay..Stekelenburg..David Villa..Hatem Ben Arfa..Yoann Gourcuff..

22. Thierry Henry..will always be Thierry Henry. But he is still the best and I love him loads.

23. The former.

24. Cesc Fabregas-4

27. AGAINST ARSENAL: THAT 'AMAZING REF SHOW IN THE MATCH AGAINST BARCA AT THE NOU CAMP.

28. AHHHAHA I GUESS. But the team needs more consistency and for RVP to be less injury prone.

29. YEAP. Espana and Les Bleus :D

30. Victory through fucking harmony. Okay that doesn't reall answer the question. I can't really answer it...as in..you don't choose which club to fall in love with and support..you jus do. And thats what happened to me ;D

2011-04-13T21:51:00.001-07:00

There there baby

it's in the ABC of growing up
Now, now darling

and you know I love you yeah

2011-04-10T04:28:00.000-07:00

I feel blessed.

I feel blessed to have such amazing family members and sometimes I don't feel like I deserve their love and support..but thats one of the things that is keeping me going right now. I love them to death. My pillar of support. Thanks for saying amazing things even though I don't quite deserve them :P

Went on a shopping spree with TR yesterday. And I took a picture with this HUGE and SUPER CUTE mascot where they were raising money for stray dogs ;D

And it was a fin afternoon+evening. Despite fact that we pretty much walked through the whole of Orchard Road and were spent by the time we were at Someset 313 by 7pm ish..it was worth it and was veryyy fun ;D

I shall look forward to TLK Musical this Wednesday with Celine ;D

I CAN'T WAIT.

I remember laughing my ass off after looking at Freelance Whales' song titles with Gerald. LOL. THEY WERE ALL PHYSICS RELATED!

Regardless, this is an amazing song!

And I loveee my current playlist.

Damien Rice came to Singapore in 2005. OMFG. I was probably living under a rock and thats why I didn't even know that he had dropped by. PLEASE COME BACK.

I will definitely be in line to buy ticketsssss! <3

SWITCHFOOT IS COMING TO SGP THIS MONTH!

I hope I can make it for their showwwwww!

Oh wells. Let's seee!

And I hope Arsenal gets back on track tonight. Why is it that every single MAJOR loss has to be coupled with a series of draws before revival?

And no, its not even a revival. It's more like..uh..too late by then?

Shit. I hope it won't be this time round. It's really sickening to have your hopes up high so much during the course of the season only to see them get dashed come February-April. SADFACE. WTH.

Nevermind, 2 games in hand compared to M-fucking-U. So the point difference is REALLY too flattering for the Mancs. Revival starts tonight.

His performance brought tears to my eyes. LEON <3

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't (always happen) when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
(A small but )still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles,you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believe

2011-04-03T05:40:00.000-07:00

I had this sudden urge to blog.

So excuse my ranting.

Anyway, yay! India won the World Cup! It was a freaking amazing match..and there were times where I really thought there was no way for them to win. Went over to Jo's place to catch the match...and ate junk food like a pig. I watched till Sehwag got out..and then I went back home..and started watching How I Met Your Mother. See..the perfect remedy when you are so down is Barney Stinson. But obviously, ten minutes into the episode..I was thinking 'Maybe Tendulkar and Gambir are helping India.' I don't wanna be missing out if its gonna turn out to be an emphatic victory even after a shaky start. But what the hell..Tendulkar was out. 30/2. WTH. And I thought to myself..'No Hope..Seriously'. Ofcourse I didn't wanna believe in that..but practically thinking, it made sense. I mean..without a solid start how are you gonna continue building and chase a high score like 275 in freaking 50 overs? It's like not being able to build a building without a proper foundation (Okay bad analogy, but I think you get my point). But whatever..I decided to stop HIMYM and I started to watch the match via online live streaming. Okay, wth. It's still my country. Don't blame me for the attachment and urge I felt to watch the match despite my head telling me that they are gonna loose but my heart telling me otherwise. But anyway..no regrets ;D Amazing partnership between Captain Dhoni and Gambir..and kinda sad that the latter didn't get his century. He was 3 short of an emphatic century..even if it might not have been as formidable as the one from Jayawardene..but still..its a century..and it still stands as a remarkable achievement. And amazing shot from Dhoni to win it. I mean..a freaking SIX..straight to the crowd..more like saying 'This for you, my fellow La Indianos' ;D But anyway..great win..amazing game. And I will take it all ;D I almost had to forgo watching the Arsenal match to continue watching the World Cup final..but anyway..I kinda did both towards the end. But stupid online live streaming..FREAKING ANNOYING. Especially when it hangs and jus remains like that for God knows how long. But anyway..very good fight from Sri Lanka..but ofcourse..the better side won and I don't think anyone can deny that. ;D

Anyway...I am starting to feel more and more let down. Psychological problem? I don't know.

Sucks. Not good enough for anything. Makes me feel like I am a vulnerable kid with low self esteem like Brooke Davis. Sucks.

No I am not gonna wallow in self pity because of my any of my past failures or mistakes..even if I have constant reminders of them around me. It's simply not worth it. Yesterday, I learnt something. Dhoni..okay he is not my idol or anything..but I thought this was thought provoking in some way. Anyway, back to Dhoni. He picked Sreesanth over Ashwin for the game (which I TOTALLY disapproved of)..and let Yuvraj play at numero 6 even though he is an in-form player. And at some points in the game, obviously his decisions were criticised by the media and people alike..obviously because the decisions didn't seem to giving the positive results at that point of time. But anyway, he pushed on and I mean..he kinda proved himself? And also even though his batting statistics haven't been anything great throughout the tournament..he proved his worth and ability by smashing a 91 not out from a mere 70+ balls (WOAH!)

Okay..what I (think I) can learn is..if you believe in something hard enough..don't let anyone stop you from believing in it. I think I have learnt that from Arsenal a million times. Sometimes I feel like their situation in the league or somewhat mirrors mine real life feelings and emotions..yes, sounds weird..but trust me its scarily true at times. If you have passion for something and you love and believe in something..don't let other people's comments hurt you or bring you down. Jus don't let it get to you.

It's hard to make yourself so immune to criticisms or things of that sort. Don't give a fuck about what they think of you. You are what you are and you know it. Show that to them..no point telling cause actions speak louder than words.

Sucks.

You are really making me hate you by saying such mean things and bringing me down. Can't you jus get over yourself and accept me for who I am? I am tired of trying to do things jus to make you happy. Why can't you jus let ME be HAPPY for once and let me do what I want and let me be me?

I don't wanna say it cause it will be selfish of me to..but I am only feeling frustration and mere hatred towards you now..and I am trying to control myself by not saying anything cause when you are angry your tongue works faster than your brain. Please..don't push me further.

And besides..'If you can't handle me at my worst, you certainly don't deserve my best.' Like Marilyn Monroe said.

2011-04-01T21:57:00.000-07:00

I regret not going for Jimmy Eat World concert ):

THEY PLAYED 23 AND PAIN!!! My favourite songs from JEW ): I should have gone! I feel like giving up my Maroon 5 tickets for JEW..but ask me again 2 weeks later and I would probably say no. Nevermind..I shall look forward to Maroon 5. and ofcourse..ADAM LEVINE.

And on a brighter note..SWITCHFOOT IS COMING TO SINGAPORE. AND SO IS LINKIN PARK AND THE SCRIPT.

Why can't Avenged Sevenfold come back to Singapore ):

And I am going to book tickets for The Lion King Musical with Celine ;D Amazing movie. It was the movie of my childhood and I wouldn't be wrong to say that it changed my childhood. I can't even keep count of how many times I have watched the movie..sung along with their uber amazing soundtrack and cried so hard when Mufasa died. Yes, it is jus an animation film..but it evokes so much of emotions into you that it is not JUST a film. It has an amazing story and it deserves every single award that it received..be it for its amazing soundtrack by Elton John or the impeccable score composed by Hans Zimmer..or the extremely moving story written by the directors/writers..it is an amazing movie and is Disney's best movie ever (in my opinion at least). And yes, I rewatched it yesterday and watching Mufasa's death still brought tears to my eyes ):

So I can't wait to see how the musical would be. How would they show the gorge scene where Simba is chased by a herd of wildbeasts? How would they show the finale fight scene between Simba and Scar? So many questions..very high expectations and I am sure I would never feel like its not worth it. Because its Lion King and their musical has own NUMEROUS awards..and its the movie I love most..so I know I won't be disappointed.

OH I JUS CAN'T WAIT (TO BE KING)!

TIMON AND PUMBAAAA. AHAHAH THEY ARE SOOO AWESOME.

And ofcourse, I lovee Simba. He was soo cute when he was a cub ;D

2011-03-28T07:33:00.000-07:00

HIMYM OVERLOADDD :D

I loveee Barney :D

2011-03-27T00:34:00.001-07:00

2011-03-23T04:41:00.000-07:00

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?

2011-03-21T00:59:00.000-07:00

Will never forget this game and how I screamed when Fabregas scored. Trully..one of the best. And it was historical. First English team to beat Milan at the San Siro.

Fuck the Barca game..and fuck that stupid ref (yes,I still can't get over that.)

Victory through fucking harmony. Thats Arsenal. Barca can go fuck itself. So can the stupid ref who jus accidentally wore the wrong jersey..cause he should have won the Barca jersey. Would have been apt.

I wanna feel those moments again:

The Invincibles. First team to go unbeaten in the league.

First English team to beat Madrid at the Bernabeau

First London team to reach the Champions Legaue Final

First English team to beat both Inter and AC Milan at the San Siro

Kicking Man U's ass after winning them on penalties at the 2005 FA Cup with Vieira's last kick for Arsenal

Kicking Chelsea's ass and winning them 2-1 on Fabregas' first game as captain in Premier League

Kicking Spurs' ass by beating the crap out of them at White Hart Lane and winning the league there

Fabregas scoring Arsenal's second against Spurs within a matter of seconds

Winning the league at Old Trafford after Wiltord brought Arsenal to victory

The Double-winning seasons

Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona

Kanu's hat trick against Chelsea in 10 minutes

Arshavin's four goals against Liverpool

Winning at Anfield after Arshavin's goal which literally silenced The Kop

First team to reach 10 consecutive games without conceding a goal in Champions League

49 consecutive games without losing in the Premier League

Samir Nasri's double against Man United

Haix. COME ON ARSENAL. I really hope there is still a lot more left to come from this team. Seriously fuck Barcelona. Hope Real Madrid and Mourinho beat the crap out of them in La Liga.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

We ARE Arsenal. and We believe. Arsenal forever.

2011-03-20T01:15:00.000-07:00

Friday Night Lights!

I am addicted again <3>

Haix. All good things come to an end.

Anyway, my mother has been bugging me to finish doing all of my pending stuff and to stop procrastinating. Blehhh. I am finding it hard to not procrastinate. I MUST CHANGE THAT. If not..I go nowhere.

On a happier note, Jens Lehmann is BACK AT ARSENAL! He is gonna be the 'cover' goalie cause Szczesny is injured..and so is Fabianski. And Szczesny (OMG ITS SO HARD TO SPELL IS NAMEE!) could be out for the rest of the season ): And Vermaelen is officially out for the rest of the season too. So is Djourou with a dislocated shoulder. Siannn. FABREGAS AND WALCOTT MUST RECOVER SOON. It seems like the team is a lil' depleted. But at least RVP injury layoff wasn't as long as expected. COME ON ARSENAL. Good comeback yesterday against West Brom..but its not over yet. Still a game in hand..and yet to play Manchester United at home. It's ours for the taking. COME ON GUNNERS. It's time to end the trophy drought and bring a trophy back home to The Groove :D

Anyway..I am kinda bored. Thats kinda awkward cause I have things to do. Yet, I feel bored. I am a weirdo. Anyway, I shall jus watch How I met your Mother before I get back on track and stop procrastinating. Bleh. I WILL STOP PROCRASTINATING. HIMYM time now <3>

'I have dreams too. I'm gonna build a house exactly where we're sittin'. I'll get a job. And I'm never gonna do anything illegal for the rest of my life-guarantee you. Maybe one day our dreams can merge together.' -Tim Riggins, Friday Night Lights.

Haix I am really gonna miss Friday Night Lights. ):

Okays gotta go now.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-03-13T20:07:00.000-07:00

And finally..I let it all out.

Fuck.

I love Saosin.

2011-03-09T18:06:00.000-08:00

Arsenal before. Arsenal after. Always Arsenal.

Fuck you Barcelona. Arsenal is not a loser like you and Arsenal didn't need the referree to side you to win you at the Emirates. And Xavi should jus shut the fuck up about Arsenal not playing 'joyfully.' Seriously. Your team is the one full of cunts. Arsenal lost but they didn't loose their dignity. So you know what? I am proud of my team regardless of it. They fought with so much of heart..something that you probably lack. And we have Jack Wilshere..who has more desire and heart than any of your Barca cunts..and he will bleed and give everything for Arsenal. Dani Alves should jus shut the fuck up. He freaking hit RVP at the throat. Van Persie DID NOT commit any serious offence..and RVP was right. The red card was a joke. And whatever..Barca might have had the lion's share of possession..but you know what? They couldn't find the back of the net easily. That itself speaks volumes of the heart and desire Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou showed. So yes, the red card was cheap and did change the game. Maybe Arsenal would have gotten through if RVP had stayed on. We can only speculate..we wouldn't know for sure cause the referree (who was practically Barca's 12th man) killed the game.
Fuck it.
Chin up Gunners.
You lost to a group of cunts. No way are they better than you.
Now to the FA Cup and Premier League. This season could still be ours. It's in our hands and its ours for the taking. The only team standing in the way now: Manchester United.
COME ON YOU GUNNERSS.

I will be still and know you are God.

Going through uni apps. MAJOR HEADACHE. Where? Which course? yada yada. I hope everything will be okay in the end.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Alevels results are outtt.

The anxious waiting is over. OMG, imagine waiting for it for 3 months. It almost felt like I had never written a major examination in the first place! Haixx..anyway, its over.

And now I'm down doing uni applications. Where? Which course? Many questions. But oh wells, whether I will get in is an entirely different matter as the cut offs vary and apparently from several friends whom I have spoken to..the 0th percentile can differ a lot from the 10th percentile grades reflected on the websites. No, I am not gonna apply to NUS Law or Medicine. I am more realistic than that :D

Maybe I will start on Wednesday. I shall jus fill in the choices. After a good chat with the parents, I kinda have an idea of which courses to apply to. And I am still clueless on whether I should continue with UK apps..I mean come on! It's late app already! I probably have to have an impeccable Personal Statement..let alone the impeccable grades..to even stand a chance of getting in! But oh wells, we will see. UCAS still says that 30 June is the deadline. It really depends on the quality of the personal statement I can churn out and luck. oh lady luck. Please be good to me. Its surprising how some people whom you expected to easily ace Alevels didn't do as well as expected. Scary.

I shall jus apply..and pray to God fervently that everything will be okay. It has to. I mean even if I don't get my first choice..hopefully I wouldn't be forced to do something I am totally not interested in.

And as for those who didn't meet expectations..don't let some certificate determine who you are for the rest of your life. There is so much more in life yet to come..and this is jus a small part of what is to be. There are always other paths for you. Don't EVER give up :D

I guess thats something I should tell myself too..cause MATH..totally got messed up for the Alevels. Oh wells. I am happy with the rest at least. But no point crying over spilt milk. Maybe I should have mugged more..studied harder..whatever. Maybe I should have done the tutorials more promptly and gone for more consultations. But screw it. It's over. And all I can and should be doing now is to look forward and move on. There's no other way..whether I like it or not. Regardless, I am proud of those who got Straight As and can immediately get into the course of their choice. To the rest..all we can do is wait and hope that everything will be all right and we will still get what we want.

I really hope I do.

Okay, off now.

Arsenal is back tonight.

Can't stop listening to this <3

2011-02-27T03:07:00.000-08:00

“You see, General Sahib, my father slept with his servant’s wife, and she bore him a son named Hassan. Hassan is dead now. That boy sleeping in the other room is Hassan’s son. He’s my nephew. That’s what you tell people when they ask. And one more thing, General Sahib: you will never again refer to him as “a Hazara boy” in my presence. He has a name, and it’s Sohrab.”

-Amir, The Kite Runner

'I dream that my son will grow up to be a good person, a free person. I dream that someday you will return to revisit the land of our childhood. I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets again and kites will fly in the skies.'

-Hassan, in a letter to Amir

OMG, epic movie. I didn't think the movie would be as good as the book..but my, the movie was mindblowing and at times, I had to pause the movie to finish crying before watching the next scene. It was a such a poignant story and the way it was portrayed on-screen was really moving. Set against the tumultuous happenings in Afghanistan from the collapse of its monarchy to the Taliban regime, the story focuses on a friendship forged between two boys, Amir and Hassan. Hassan is the less fortunate one..he works as a servant at Amir's father's mansion and Amir and Hassan pretty much grow up together until an act of betrayal by Amir separates them..causing them to never see each other again. Amir didn't betray him intentionally..okay, actually he kinda did..but he didn't mean to. The extreme loyalty and love displayed by Hassan towards Amir kinda scared Amir..and it was a constant reminder of his cowardice and cowardly acts. I mean he didn't even do anything when he witnessed Hassan getting raped by a group of thugs just because Hassan was from a minority Hazara ethnic group. And when the Soviets occupy Afghanistan, Amir and his father move to Pakistan and eventually to the USA. Years later, after Amir has started embarking on a successful writing career where his first book had jus gotten published, he receives a call from a friend of his father's telling him to come back saying, 'There's a way to be good aqain.'

And Amir goes back to Pakistan and learns that Hassan is dead. Hassan had resumed the responsibility of caretaker of Amir's family's property in Afghanistan..and when the Taliban threatened to kill him if he didn't leave the property, they killed him and his wife..and took his son, Shorab. And Amir also learns that Hassan was in fact his half-brother as he was the child born from the extra marital affair his father had with his servant's wife. And so, Amir returns to Kabul, wearing a fake beard..and embarks on a journey to find where Sohrab is.

The movie really encapsulated how things had changed from before the Soviet occupation and the Taliban regime. And the extreme loyalty displayed by Hassan towards Amir is really heartbreaking..especially the way their friendship ended. And the letter Hassan left for Amir..which Amir reads some time after Hassan's death is beyond heartbreaking. And the scene where Sohrab tells Amir that he is glad that his parents aren't around anymore cause he's 'so dirty and full of sin' is really sad..I mean he was jus a kid! And he had been sexually harassed countless times and he was made to dress like a girl and perform for enlightenment. I mean..what did he do to deserve that? HE IS JUS A KID! And all of those experiences leave a deep mark in him..leaving him emotionally traumatised when Amir rescues him. And the last part where Amir tries to bond with Shorab by recollecting his childhood memories with Hassan was really touching. The fact that Amir brought back incidents from Hassan's childhood to Shorab finally made him smile a bit. And it was really sweet how Amir tried to teach Shorab some of Hassan's kite flying tricks. And pledges the same phrase that Hassan did to him years ago, 'For you, a thousand times over.'

WOW, Amazing. The book was truly heartbreaking and extremely moving. And the movie was amazing as well. But I think reading the book gives the reader an entirely different journey. I re-read the book yesterday after watching the movie...and the book's journey through all these events is more of Amir's journey to redemption as he searches for the best version of himself, within himself..and attempts to rectify the mistake that he had made years ago to damage an invaluable friendship. He had been living with traces of guilt and regret for years and his journey to redeem himself by rescuing his childhood friend's kid makes him find a way 'to be good again.'

Anyways, enough about Kite Runner. I feel damn useless..all I did over the weekend was to sit at home and rot. Rot meaning, watch movies and dramas. I managed to catch up with The Vampire Diaries and One Tree Hill (Yes, I still watch OTH, but selectively)..and I have been watching quite bit of the old episodes from The O.C..and I GIVE UP WATCHING GREY'S ANATOMY. Okay, I wanted to stop when George died but I continued cause Alex/Izzie were still there. But the departure of Izzie..and the way they ended things between Alex and Izzie..was too sad and unbelievable and I almost stopped after that. I mean they portrayed Izzie as a poignant woman..a very emotional one indeed who is very sensitive to others' feelings. What she did to Alex..was too cruel and wasn't explained properly. I mean she left Alex even though he did NOTHING WRONG. Like wtf! But I continued watching and I loved the season 6 finale which was the shooting episode..especially the part where Alex calls out for Izzie and asks for her to come back again. But season 7..OMG..they broke up Mark/Lexie who were the only saving grace left..and Alex is having increasingly minor storylines..like wth! They didn't even show him dealing with Izzie's absence..I mean I bet he is aware of the fact that he still loves her (I mean she was the one he called out for when he was dying)..and they show him being pretty apathetic towards the whole incident. I mean they spent like maybe 2-3 scenes showing him deal with his fear of using the lift where was lying in a pool of blood. BUT THATS ABOUT IT. WTH? No sign of him even thinking back about the impact that Izzie still has on him or whatsoever. OMG. BRING IZZIE BACK. Or at least, bring Mark and Lexie back together. Till then, I am taking a break from Grey's.

Anyways, on a bigger note..CARLING CUP FINAL TONIGHT BETWEEN ARSENAL AND BIRMINGHAM CITY! I really want Arsenal to win! This could (and will) be start of the four trophies that they could possibly win by the end of the season. The Gunners are still very much in every competition and this is the first final that they gonna be playing. The Champs League second leg is coming up next week..and FA Cup replay in midweek..and with ManU bound to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool at Anfield, Chelsea at home and Arsenal at the Emirates..they WILL or at least, they are bound to drop more points and so ARSENAL CAN TAKE OVER THEM!! And eventually win the Premier League. MUAHAHA. Can't wait. It's gonna be a great season! COME ON ARSENAL!! <3

Okay, I shall watch No Strings Attached online now.

BUH-BYEE!

Jus watched the movie, The Kite Runner. I have been intending to watch it for quite some time. And I cried a lot. I cried more while reading the book..but the movie was really amazing too. Such a beautiful story based on a beautiful friendship portrayed in such a realistic way.

For you, a thousand times over.

2011-02-19T09:43:00.000-08:00

And did those boots of Arsene’s team
walk upon ~~Highbury’s~~ Emirates' turf so green?
And did they play with great esteem
the best football we’ve ever seen?
And with a cannon on our chest
we play with heart, mind and zest
And we are proud to be Arsenal
In victory through harmony

2011-02-18T06:26:00.000-08:00

Arsenal 2-1 FC Barcelona ;D

This is the best day of my life.

WHAT A MATCH! OMG. It was such a good match. AMAZING. AMAZING. No words to describe it. David Villa put Barcelona ahead on 26 minutes. At first, it seemed as if Arsenal might loose cause van persie kept missing and Barcelona's defence kept it very tight such that it stifled Arsenal's attack. But omg, things changed so much in the second half. JACK WILSHERE, I DECLARE MY LOVE FOR YOU. He is only 19 years old and plays like he has played in more than 200 games for Arsenal. He was phenomenal and I think he played even better than the talismatic Captain Fabregas. He was truly amazing and wasn't shaken by the immensity and the intensity of the atmosphere surrounding him considering the fact that this was THE game that everyone had been waiting for..playing against the team that has been perceived as best in the world by many. He did not diaplay any kind of fear and played like a warrior..like a true champion. He was well and truly amazing. Walcott scared the Barcelona defence every now and then with his blistering pace and the Barca defenders struggled to keep up with him. Fabregas (obviously) produced beautiful passes..and Samir Nasri is well and truly back from his hamstring injury which kept him on the sidelines for a fortnight. Koscielny was AMAZING at the full back position and read Barca's passes well enough to defend them properly. van Persie's goal was..WOW..a moment of magic. HOW THE HELL DID HE SCORE THAT? It was at such an acute angle..it seemed an almost impossible position to score from but van Persie did it! Amazing goal. And 5 minutes later, Samir Nasri assisted Arshavin to score the winner and give Arsenal the advantage over the two-legged last 16 contest. Amazing goal from the Russian. As the commentators usually say, 'From Russia, with love' when Arshavin scores. He had a pretty rough start to the season but he has been improving and is regaining his goalscoring touch once again :D

Arsenal trailed Barcelona for most of the game till Arsenal scored 2 goals over the span of 5 minutes to ascertain victory. It seemed an almost impossible job..but Arsenal did it and proved everyone wrong. Barcelona is not invincible. Yes, they are an amazing team and they have MESSI (who is any opposition player's nightmare) and some of the best midfielders in the world in the likes of Xavi and Iniesta who were part of the core team that helped Spain win their first ever world cup last year. But they are not mistakes-less and they can be beaten. Arsenal proved that. They might not have had the lion's share of possession..but they knew how to get the job done which was the most important thing at the end of the day.

It was one of those matches where you don't wanna go to sleep but continue to stay awake and discuss about it with others and marvel at how amazing those 90 minutes were and how people will remember this game so many years from now on. This was one of those games. Truly amazing comeback from Arsenal. Never been prouder to call myself a Gunner/Gooner :D

I knew I meant it when I said I believed they had the quality and ability to win Barcelona. And they proved me right. I love you, Arsenal!

The return leg at the Nou Camp is gonna be a tough match, no doubt. But Arsenal goes into the match with a lead..not a very comfortable one but its still a one goal lead. Getting an away goal at Barca's home is gonna be crucial..a draw would suffice. But ideally, I would like them to win :D Thomas Vermaelen will be back in the squad by then and provided there aren't any more injuries, Arsenal will be even stronger. And if they play the way they played against Barca at home, impossible in nothing.

Proud to be a Gooner.

I woke up at the middle of the night to watch the match and yes..I looked like a half dead zombie when I went to work the next day. And I had to work overtime till 8pm and I had a piercing headache by the time I reached home. But you know what? It was totally worth it.

Once a Gunner, Always a Gunner,

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

We ARE Arsenal FC <3

FML. Today sucks. It has been SUCH a bad day. Unimaginably bad and I am not exaggerating. And the only thing that made smile for about an hour was my beloved Arsenal. Other than that..it has been so bad.

I feel freaking useless. Why the fuck do I keep making mistakes? Seriously. I am not that dumb. And all of this is making me feel like a dumbass. And I continuously make the same mistakes. I don't know who to be mad at..except myself. fml. This is not my area of expertise, I conclude. Not like accounting is easy to get in in university. But even if I do qualify, I will not major in accounting. I am so bad at it. And one has to be a perfectionist to be good at it..which is smthg I am not. I am a freaking slob. I am super messy. I do not have any order. I don't like to sit down, shut up and work. I constantly need entertainment in my life. And..I DO NOT LIKE MATH enough to keep seeing mathematical figures my whole life. Fml. I am gonna be the worst intern this year..and I pity my supervisor. I am grateful that she's been able to put up with me for so long.

Fuck this. I jus wanna run away. Far away. To my beloved Arsenal. For now, thats the only thing that makes me smile or makes me happy.

2011-02-06T03:15:00.000-08:00

I LOVE DAMON SALVATORE.

2011-01-31T07:03:00.000-08:00

I miss One Tree Hill and Nathan/Haley!

Okay OTH time nowww!

2011-01-28T22:28:00.000-08:00

I found this Tumblr and I thought it was smthg very meaningful. I know I take things for granted sometimes..but oh wells, such pieces of information seems to remind me that I should be grateful for what I have and not act like a spoilt brat ): But I think its normal for everyone to want more even when they ARE happy and have everything that they need..that they start to covet things..things that they want but are not neccesarily necessary in their life. Okay I am ranting again.

Anyway, went for Sarah's farewell yesterday. I'm really gonna be missing her. She was a really amazing friend and it was great to be around her. Hope she will be safe and sound..and HAPPY in Aussieland :D All the best, matee. Love ya loadss.

Meanwhile, I have been watching Skins first generation. WHY DID CHRIS HAVE TO DIE? ):

Anyway,I am home alone at the moment..as my parents have a more eventful life than I do. They have gone shopping and left before I woke up..and promised to buy me food. And I am starvingggg. Its almost 3pm and I haven't had lunch. Maybe I will go back to sleep and hibernate. Or maybe Skins or Youtube (either way its the same thing as I watch Skins on youtube) can keep me company till they get back.

ANYWAY, wanted to post this. Another amazing song by A7x from their new album! love them to bits and pieces.

RIP The Rev. He was an AMAZING drummer.

And I love this song by Verical Horizon! It's kinda sad song..but I love the video..with like short and sweet meaningful quotes. But sadly..the video couldn't be embedded..cause 'Embedding was disabled by request.' ): Nevermind..I shall jus post the audio then. I love this song..even though it is kinda old :D

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

Such a nice song! <3

Anyway FA Cup match tonight! Can't wait! Like Samir Nasri said, I reallyyyyy want Arsenal to win smthg (even if its not the Treble, its okay) this season. THEY DESERVE IT MORE THAN ANYTHING. And I love the way they have been playing recently. Really amazing football. And I love how they seem to play more like a unit..and be known collectively as Arsenal instead of being known because of one or two players. Arsenal FC forever. Own freaking Man United in Premier League and Barcelona in Champs League!!

Okays I am gonna watch Skins while I wait for my parents to come back. Pfftttttt.

CNY NEXT WEEK. HOLIDAYS <3

And meeting the Ackles tmr for some bonding time <3

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2011-01-23T00:24:00.000-08:00

I have been youtube-ing a lot lately..besides watching Skins and Misfits on it. But yea..and these songs are reallyyyy amazing. Don't care if they are mainstream or not..they are jus beautiful and great to listen to.

Fuck Ashley Cole for screwing over Cheryl Cole. She's so amazing. He is an asshole for cheating on her..multiple times if I might add. She deserves someone better than him.

Arsenal won Wigan 3-0 :D van Persie scored a hat trick (despite missing a penalty)

And they won Leeds 3-1 :D

Nasri received the Barclay's Player of the month award.

yayness. COME ON ARSENALLLLLL.

2011-01-19T05:53:00.000-08:00

My current addiction <3

Okay I'm gonna sleep now :D

2011-01-17T05:39:00.000-08:00

I haven't made a coherent post in a while. /:

Anyway, I'm in my second week of work. I have to say that I am starting to kinda enjoy it. It's pretty cool actually..and it makes you feel important.

Meanwhile, I created a Tumblr account. I have been wanting to for a while..the photography and quotes that I have come across on Tumblr are reallyyyy amazingg. And I found more after I created an account. Shall post sometime later.

There was this one particular story that I came across which really moved me. It portrayed this guy hugging his brother before he left with the American army to fight in Afghanistan and the next picture shows him kissing his coffin. Seriously, if that ever happened to me..I will jus die from crying. Losing your loved one in one thing..losing him without even being able to spend enough time with him over the past few days or weeks or months even is another thing. When my maternal grandfather passed away when I was nine..I still remember the exact moment when I heard that he was brain dead and that he was going to be taken off life support. The first thing that came to my mind was that I didn't get to tell him 'I love you' before he went away. And sometimes that thought still haunts me. I wish he stuck around for a longer time..and was able to spend time with me when I was older..such that I was at an age where I was actually making and retaining a lot of my memory. I didn't want him to pass away when I was just nine..where I only had some significant moments with him. And that too only when I was in India for vacation..which wasn't that often either (like once in two years.). I wonder how the person managed to move on from it. Maybe the sense of patriotism for his country overwhelmed him? I don't know. But I think losing your loved one (in any way) will take any being a significant period of time to recover from it, be in for good or not. Truth.

And then there was another picture which condemned the way the media portrayed and degraded people who are obese or overweight. I think people are beautiful in their own ways and stereotyping them and pressurising them to look or appear a certain way is wrong..why do you wanna make them loose what's unique about them jus so that the world can think they are hot or beautiful? Seriously thats BOLLOCKS. (HAHAHA, thanks to Skins' influence on me.)

But oh well..some things jus can't be explained. I think people should jus have confidence in themselves and believe that personality and heart matter a lot more than looks. Looks can only take you to maybe to front page of FHM magazine..but personality enables you to establish bonds with people around you which will last a lifetime.

I am ranting again..BLEHHH.

Arsenal won West Ham United 3-0 :D Complete ownage. 2 goals from van Persie and a goal from Walcott were enough to seal 3 points. And the highlight of the match (for me) was that the commentator actually said smthg reallyyy good about Arsenal. How often does that happen? They are jus so biased against Arsenal..probably cause the number of British players in Arsenal is a lot lesser compared to other clubs. I mean the most prominent English players in the team are like..Walcott and Wilshere. But the commentator said that Arsenal are the best attacking team in the premier league and they have everything that it takes to be crowned champions of the premier league this season. He seriously said that they could be 'unstoppable.' WOW. Thats a huge compliment there. And another good thing was that Spurs drew with Man U. MUHAHAHAHA. Man City's position is a fluke and it is a little toooo flattering for them cause they have played more games than Arsenal and Man U so the comparison of points with respect to Man U or Arsenal cannot be justified..cause if Arsenal and Man U play their games in hand, they would both have more points than Man City. Given that, it eventually comes down to between Man U or Arsenal. Arsenal all the way! Wenger has believed in this team. He has bought raw talent and groomed them to play WengerBall or Arsenal football..the Arsenal's brand of football..which is THE way footbal should be played: in the most entertaining and attacking form. The only other team which plays this way is undeniable Barcelona. And Wenger..for all his efforts deserves to applauded and deserves to add trophies to his cabinet this season. And the players who have stuck around too! Rosicky, Clichy, Fabregas, Van Persie..and the list goes on. All young and extremely talented and they have turned down big money moves to other clubs to stick around to see Captain Cesc lift the coveted trophy for the Gunners this season. They deserve it. They came so painfully close in 07/08 season..I will NEVER forget that. So close. And it all jus became nothing after the Eduardo injury. This time round, they are more mature and they will not let that happen. Come on you Gunners. You can do thissss. Silence the freaking Mancs, Chavs and Spuds :D Ooh-to-be-a-gooner :D

Anywayyy..I am gonna sleep soon. yea, this is me sleeping at about 1030pm every day. So not me, but still me. But I stay up still 6am on weekends to make up for that :D

I wanna go to Editor's Market and shopppp :D

Anywayyy..I think I am gonna end it here. Shall post tumblr pics laterrrrr.

Time to wash my face and cuddle in bed with my beloved pillow and cushiony bolster :D

Okays off now.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

Players come and go, passion is forever. Arsenal FC foreverrrrr. Till death do us apart :D

2011-01-13T04:30:00.000-08:00

Anyway..its 8:30pm. And I feel superrr tired.

And so I'm gonna crash now.

Never really realised how exhausting work life can be D:

Love is all i need, I’ve waited all my life,
You got me on my best behaviour, ohh uuaah ohhh

Hurry up im in danger baby, ohh uuaah ohhh
how long before you save me baby?

Arsenal had a close shave against Leeds United. They almost lost at home but Fabregas equalised at the last minute and so it was a 1-1 draw. At least they are not out of the FA Cup, especially given the crappy way that they played in the game. Oh wells.

I think I am gonna stop watching season 4 Skins. It is too depressing. Killing Freddie was one thing. Showing Effy jus recovering and hearing his voice and presence around her is after his death is another thing. GOD. Why can't the writers jus give them a happy ending? They screwed up Chris in the first generation and now Freddie? And the way he died..HE DID NOT DESERVE THAT. It's like..Effy's indirectly to be blamed. He was jus trying to protect her by warning and telling her psychotic psychiatrist off so that SHE CAN BE SAFE. His death might have only have occurred in the second last eppy of the season..but they didn't really let him (and Effy) be happy except for the beginning part of the 'Freddie' episode. What the hell. And seriously..the way they killed him was so...disturbing. Like omg, why would they portray a freaking psychiatrist as such an ambivalent, cold-hearted FREAK?? THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE KILLED FREDDIE MCLAIR. I freaking loved his character. Yea, he was flawed in many ways. But I loved how he was so responsible..and how he took care of his friends. And how he helped Effy through her depression even though he went through shit because of that and it caused him so much pain. He loved Effy so freaking much. And how he was not willing to let go of his friendship with Cook even though the initial love triangle between him, Cook and Effy in season 3 pretty much destroyed their friendship. He still cared for Cook and was there for Cook and there for his hearing when Cook went to prison. And Cook was the one who initially 'stole' Effy from him. Not that I don't like Cook. I love him. He is wacky and crazy..and pretty screwed up..kind of a male version of Effy. But I love how he is there for his loved ones when they need him even if he might have screwed up with people now and then. Seriously. How did the writers even have the heart to kill Freddie?

I really hope Cook avenged his death by killing John Fucking Foster. I heard Luke Pasqualino will be in the Skins movie (I REALLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE). I don't really think he is alive..even though they technically didn't show Freddie dead. I mean if he is trully alive..and if they reunite Freds and Effy and the rest of the gang, that would possibly be the best ending for this generation's Skins! But fingers crossed. There's smthg about tragic love stories..they kinda stay with you and make you yearn for more. Oh wells. I will still be pining for a Freddie return..hopefully alive if there is an unexpected twist.

I think I am just gonna watch season 3 Skins now where it was less painful and tragic. ughh. I hate tragedy. hate. hate. hate.

I am gonna watch Friday Night Lights Season 4 now.

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

“Here lies Henry Saracen. His mother annoyed him, his wife couldn’t stand him, and he didn’t want to be a dad, so he took off to be in the army. Because it was the only way he could come up with to get out of here and ditch all your responsibilities that no one could call you out on and that worked out great, so you just decided to enlist four more times and that ended up getting you killed and now here you are.

I am rewatching Skins season3 and 4.

and here are some random stufffff.

'love you forever.' )': I love Freddie.

I think Effy is..one of the most complicated and enigmatic people everr.

No, no. This can't be happening D:

Freddie wrote this in his diary and Effy reads it during his birthday after Freddie's death D:

THIS IS NOT FAIR.

I freaking cried during the Freddie episode. IT IS NOT FAIR. Their story does not deserve to end this wayy. It is not fair.

And I don't think I can or will continue with Skins. But I freaking love(d) Effy and Freddie's story.

At least they knew that they loved each other.

"Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where I cannot follow?"

-Clare Abshire, The Time Traveler's Wife

Dearest Clare,

As I write this, I am sitting at my desk in the back bedroom looking out at your studio across the backyard full of blue evening snow, everything is slick and crusty with ice, and it is very still. It's one of those winter evenings when the coldness of every single thing seems to slow down time, like the narrow centre of an hourglass which time itself flows through, but slowly, slowly. I have the feeling, very familiar to me when I am out of time but almost never otherwise, of being buoyed up by time, floating effortlessly on its surface like a fat lady swimmer. I had a sudden urge, tonight, here in the house by myself to write you a letter. I suddenly wanted to leave something for after. I think that time is short, now. I feel as though all my reserves, of energy, of pleasure, of duration, are thin, small. I don't feel capable of continuing very much longer. I know you know.

If you're reading this, I'm probably dead. I say probably because you never know what circumstances may arise; it seems foolish and self-important to just declare one's own death as an out-and-out fact. About this death of mine- I hope it was simple and clean and unambiguous. I hope it didn't create too much fuss. I'm sorry. But you know: you know that if I could have stayed, if I could have gone on, that I would have clutched every second: whatever it was, this death, you know that it came and took me like a child carried away by goblins.

Clare, I want to tell you again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight, I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.

I hate to think of you waiting. I know that you have been waiting for me all your life, always uncertain of how long this patch of waiting would be. Ten minutes, ten days. A month. What an uncertain husband I have been, Clare, like a sailor, Odysseus alone and buffeted by tall waves, sometimes wily and sometimes just a plaything of the gods. Please, Clare. When I am dead. Stop waiting and be free. Of me-put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element. I have given you a life of suspended animation. I don't mean to say that you have done nothing. You have created beauty, and meaning, in your art, and Alba, who is so amazing and for me: for me you have been everything.

After my mom died, she ate my father up completely. She would have hated it. Every minute of his life since then has been marked by her absence, every action has lacked dimension because she is not there to measure against. And when I was young, I didn't understand, but now, I know, how absence can be present like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird. If I had to live on without you I know I could not do it. But I hope, I have this vision of you walking unencumbered, with your shining hair in the sun. I have not seen this with my eyes but only with my imagination that makes pictures, that always wanted to paint you, shining; but I hope that this vision will be true, anyway.

Clare, there is one last thing, and I have hesitated to tell you because I'm superstitiously afraid that telling you might cause it to not happen (I know:silly) and also because i have just been going on about not waiting and this might cause you yo wait longer than you have ever waited before. But I will tell you in case you need something, after.

Last summer, I was sitting in Kendrick's waiting room when I suddenly found myself in a dark hallway in a house I don't know. I was sort of tangled up in a bunch of galoshes, and it smelled like rain. At the end of the hall I could see a rim of light around a door, and so I went very slowly and very quietly to the door and looked in. The room was white, and intensely lit with morning sun. At the window, with her back to me, sat a woman, wearing a coral-coloured cardigan sweater, with long white hair all down her back. She had a cup of tea beside her, on a table. I must have made a little noise or she sensed me behind her..she turned and she saw me, and I saw her, and it was you, Clare,this was you as an old woman in the future. It was sweet beyond telling, to come as though from the death to hold you, and to see the years all present in your face. I won't tell you anymore so you can imagine it, so you can have it unrehearsed when the time comes, as it will, as it does come. We will see each other again, Clare. Until then, live, fully, present in the world, which is so beautiful.

It's dark, now, and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.

Henry

I cried so hard after reading this book. It is an AMAZING book. Freaking amazing. Freaking epic.

ahaha so cuteee :D
I love love Seth Cohennn :D

Awww so cuteee :D

Fabregas + Nasri Manlove :D

Arsenal FC forever <3

Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

Happy New year to everyonee!

Got back to Singapore a few days ago. And I still feel quite tired. Yes, I am a lazy ass. ahaha.

I jus unpacked my stuff. So yay. I don't have to be nagged by my mother regarding that. ahaha.

Anyway..Arsenal won CHELSKI 3-1 :D ON YOUR FACE CASHLEY COLE.

And they won Birmingham 3-0 on New Year's :D What a great start right?

Song, Fabregas and Walcott scored against Chelsea. Van persie, Nasri and an own goal forced by Fabregas was enough to see Birmingham off.

A draw with Wigan kind of seized their momentum but they are still in contention with a game in hand compared to Man City. So...things look fine for now but nothing is certain till Captain Fabregas lifts the trophy for Arsenal in May. Meanwhile Arsenal has to play Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16. Maybe they can show everyone that they can beat Barca, the so-called best team in the world led by the likes of Puyol, Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. I really, really hope they do. It will really be a message to everyone not only regarding Arsenal but also Barcelona. And Barca can finally stop trying to lure Cesc to the Nou Camp. Not that I think that they'll give up on him so easily..but oh well, at least when Arsenal says that he will have a better time/future here, they will be backed by proper statistics :D

Anyway, re watched Avatar yesterday! I got my hands on the DVD while I was shopping in bangalore. And I really think DVDs have a lot better prices there compared to here. But anyway, I love that movie. And I watched the making of the movie..and it is really amazing how James Cameron came up with such an amazing concept and created this entire world..with creatures that are really alien yet bear a vague resemblance to creatures on Earth. Its like they are so different yet sorta similar to what we know and have seen. Haixxx. I love Avatarrr :D

But I still think Titanic and Transformers are the best movies everrr. :D

I jus re watched Troy. I love that movie. Historical movies have this..cool essence I guess. I mean its not something you witness in every day life..people or kingdoms fighting with one another for power or for glory etc. But Troy is an amazing moviee :D I wish Hector didn't die! He was my favourite character in the movie! Oh wells, but he was a great warrior :D

Anywayssss..I caught a cold. ):

But its still quite mild. But its making me feel like I'm having a fever. Oh wells, I think I'm gonna sleep early today. So maybe I will feel fresher and more energised and not sick at all tmrrr.

Have a great 2011! May all your wishes come true.

And for me..I hope I do well for Alevels..cause I am still waiting for my results. And I hope that I can decide on which university and which university course to do by March or April. I am that undecisive on what I wanna do in the future. oh well.

BUH-BYEE!

<333

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

5 MORE HOURS TO MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL.

COME ON ARSENAL! COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

OOH-TO-BE-A-GOONERRR :D

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2010-12-11T05:56:00.000-08:00

Take me somewhere I've never been before
Open my eyes just a little, leave me wanting more
When they tell you it's all for the money, all for the money
Raise your voice so you can tell somebody, tell somebody
When all you hold in your heart slips away, you have to choose
Fall behind, make a change, or change your mind

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

Daylight dies, blackout the sky
Does anyone care? Is anybody there?
Take this life, empty inside
I'm already dead, I'll rise to fall again

Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?
The birth of a song, the death of a dream
Closer to the edge
This never ending story take forward pride in fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in ourselves

Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

2010-12-11T01:21:00.000-08:00

When I'm gone, Just carry on,

Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice,

And know that, I'm looking down on your smile,

And I didn't feel a thing,

So baby don't feel no pain, just smile back

Eminem is awesome.

Prom and post prom went well :D I had a lot of fun. So much for this being the first prom in my life since I didn't have one after graduating from St.Margs. But I really enjoyed it. Taking loads of pictures..mingling with the friends who looked oh-so-awesome in their respective suits and dresses. And talking crap. And eating. And talking more crap. It was fun and I loved it. The after-party was more fun though. Went to Hellipad with the classmates and bumped into a lot more people there. It was really fun even though I swear my eardrums started to ache halfway through and my heels felt like they were piercing through my skin. Regardless, it was really fun. But seriously, by the end of the night, I was so exhausted that I wasn't even able to walk properly..and I started limping thanks to the blisters on my feet and the uber painful heels (which weren't that high to begin with). Maybe I should just stick to flats. They are the best and least painful footwear ever. By the time we left Hellipad, it was like 3am plus..we kind had to leave cause they were closing already. We went back to our hotel room and went for breakfast at Macs. And after that I crashed at the hotel room and slept till 9am then cabbed home. I swear I wanted to bus back home cause I had a direct bus home..but seriously, my legs were too exhausted to walk anymore..the fact that I was seriously contemplating on walking barefoot to the cab shows that my legs were seriously..exhausted. My mum came downstairs and paid for the cabfare and then I bathed,listened to A7X and slept...for almost 8 more hours..until my mum started nagging saying that it was 5pm already. WOW, did I really sleep for so long?

Anyway, I owe TR a lot..I wouldn't have pulled through anything without you,girlie :D Thanks for coming over and helping me for the prom preparation..which I have very limited knowledge on. You are seriously the best :D

Life so reckless, Tragedy endless,

Welcome to the family

I really, really love A7X :D ;D

I should have gone for their concert when they came to Singaporeeeeeeee.

ARSENAL VS MANCHESTER UNITED ON MONDAY.

And Arsenal is sitting right at the top of the table. MUHAHAHAHA.

Arsenal won Fulham 2-1 with Samir Nasri scoring 2 freaking epic goals. He has improved tremendously since the end of last season..and I bet Raymond Domenech is seriously regretting his decision to drop Nasri. He is freaking good. He always has been. But this season..he is even better. He has already scored more than 10 goals this season..and has even more assists. How epic is that? I really hope he stays injury free and scores against Man U and leads Arsenal to victory once again! And I hope Cesc Fabregas will recover from his (stupid) hamstring injury by Monday to be deemed fit just in time for his to captain Arsenal for the game. ARSENAL MUST WIN. I really want them to. And I want Fabregas and Rvpersie to remain fit for the rest of the season.

If Arsenal wins at Old Trafford..on your face to people who doubted Arsenal. I know they can. And I know they will. COME ON YOU GUNNERS.

I still remember how Arshavin LITERALLY silenced the Old Trafford crowd with his freaking awesome solo goal. WOAH.

I LOVE ARSENAL. COME ON ARSENAL! OWN THE MANCSS!!

Okay off now. I think I am gonna sleep again..before I start packing for BANG BANG BANGALORE. FLYING OFF NEXT SATURDAY and returning on New Year's eve! Can't wait to see the little sister :D

BUH-BYEE!

Victoria Concordia Crescit,

2010-12-04T02:16:00.000-08:00

Rewatched RDB yesterday!!

And I still think that it is one of the BEST movies I have ever watched. Loved every minute of the movie. Amazingggg movie with amazinggg songs and an amazinggg cast.

'LOOSE CONTROL. BE A REBEL!!'

Freaking amazing movie :D

Timon and Pumba are so adorable :D I love this song.

And I love Enrique Iglesias!!

2010-11-29T07:14:00.000-08:00

ALevels are OVER. THEY ARE OFFICIALLY OVER.

After 2 years of constantly mugging for it..THEY ARE OVER.

A LEVELS ARE OVER.

AND MY SCHOOLING LIFE HAS OFFICIALLY COME TO AN END. ):

My mother told me that I will never get this part of my life back..the schooling part. Life from now on will never be like how school life was. University is different..it's not school. There are uniforms..its just this huge community..and you are in different faculties and studying different stuff..and in a few years' time you'll be out in the working world doing your own thing. Well, at least thats how I think life is gonna be.

And I am kinda scared. Where will I be in a year's time? What will I be studying?

See, thats the problem with me. I don't plan anything. I jus make decisions on the spot. I have no sense of direction. I jus take things as they come. Maybe it is a good thing..cause I don't spend time worrying about it..I jus do things with what I've got. I mean..I didn't even think I would end up going to St.Margs or ACJC for secondary school and junior college. It jus sorta happened. Oh well..I guess I will jus stick with that. I don't really know what I wanna do in uni..I mean..I know I am not an art-sy person..and even if you exclude art-sy subjects, there are still SO many things you can do. Oh wells, I will think about it after I get my Alevel results in March.

But for now, I am gonna enjoy. Went out with the peeps after Physics Paper 1. I love 15 Minutes. AWESOME and SUPER FILLING FOOD. Thanks for the treat and for the birthday presents :D :D

Wow, I am really eighteen. Maybe I am still a little (or maybe really) immature compared to an 18 year old..I think thats a drawback of being the only child. You are always made to think that you are youngest and that you have no burden on your shoulders. And it makes you think that you don't need to grow up because mummy and daddy will always be hovering and will always look after you. Well, WRONG. Mummy and Daddy won't always be around to babysit you!

Yes, they do nag (more than usual) because you are the only one they've got and the only one they can dote on. The only one who can give them all the happiness that a child could possibly give to a parent. But at least..when you are the only child, you somehow manage to stay close to your parents..I mean..you are their ONLY one afterall..

Okay I am rambling again.

But anyway, my point is that..I think it really hit me that I am EIGHTEEN today..I mean..wow, a few years ago Eighteen=Party like mad, FREEDOM etc. But..oh wells, not SOO true. Not yet :D

Oh well anyway, I am gonna go on a Movie plus Drama marathon now.

Rewatched Titanic day before yesterday..and I cried so hard. It's such an amazing love story and the way they portrayed it is really, really amazing. Wowwwww. I loveee that movie. I don't care if it's cheesy or whatsoever...it is still one of the best movies of ALL TIME.

Then, I watched Revolutionary Road..and Freedom Writers. I love both movies. Freedom Writers is really sooo inspirational. The movie is based on a true story..and till I watched the movie I never knew race and religion or even colour could cause so much of division between people. I mean yes, I knew about the problems that have been caused due to such differences..

But watching the movie was like giving me a first hand recount of the entire experience. And when a 16-year-old kid/teenager gets wrapped up in all of it..and asks herself or himself 'What did I do to make them hate me so much?'..I think it really makes you think. That was a quote from Freedom Writers by the way. And the movie talks about how a teacher goes out of her way to understand her students and bridge them together despite their differences. And to see people who were initially divided to finally come together and say 'We feel at home here' was really...wow, like..it seemed so impossible for them to even GET ALONG..and they came so far to the extent where they truly bonded as more than jus classmates. It was really an amazing movie :D

Revolutionary road..was another ill-fated love story from DiCaprio and Kate Winslet..but Kate Winslet dies in this one..):

It was a very different movie..set in the 195os..and it tells a story of a young couple who are willing to risk it all to follow their dreams. But..it seems out of the world if they decide to do so..and whether they would achieve it and succeed...thats the main gist of the storyline.

Haixx...oh wells, I am gonna go watch Transformers now. I think it is like a ritual for me to watch Transformers after every exam..because I have been doing that since Sec3 End of year exams (if I remember correctly).

Oh wells.

Jack Wilshere scored his first goal for Arsenal in the Premier League on 27 Nov 2010.

Akshaya turned 18 on 27 Nov 2010.
