Time after time
I love Cyndi Lauper.
I love Rock.
I love watching singing competitions where the contestants can actually sing.
This my friends, is a kick ass performance from Rockstar Supernova (read previous post). You can only pull off an acoustic version of any song if you can truly sing and this girl truly can sing. Enjoy:

hello frm outer space
Me. Adult.
Adult. 21. Me. Yes!
The party's long over. The presents have been long presented. The champagne, vodka and cognac popped and drunk. The birthday girl is sober but still slightly high from all the love, joy and surprises.
Thank you thank you and thank you for all who came, partied and conquered. Thank you also to those who could not come but sent their love and kisses anyhow.
Apologies apologies to all you who bother to read my ramblings. I know this post is long long over due.
The babe (allow me to stroke my own ego) has been busy planning modules. Yes. This marks the third year of my tumultuous relationship with CORS. Basically we have a love-hate relationship. I hate it and it loves to mess with my already unsound mind. Anyhow, Praise The Lord~! i managed to put together a half decent timetable. Lets all cross our fingers in unison all over the world and hope that the bid points DO NOT sky rocket.
You know hor. All ya'all sitting at home on a wednesday night. Looking for rockin' music, real talented people singing their lungs out for their shot at stardom, i'm talking about real raw talent.. please do yourself a favour and quit watching the jokers on Singapore idol and tune in to StarWorld on channel 18 and catch Rockstar Supernova. Seriously. The contestants (i'm talking about those who can actually sing on StarWorld) take songs by all kinds of singers EVEN Cyndi Lauper and Rawk it SOoo hard i get motion sickness. YEAH....*jumps of the sofa and strums imaginary guitar* In a totally unrelated note, you know what i dream of, i dream (fairy god mother are you listenin?) of a husband who can sing and on our wedding night, he will surprise me by taking the mic and seranading me in front of all the guests, at which i will start bawling my eyes out and have mascara all over my face and i start looking like Marilyn Manson. Better still, i will have a ROCK theme wedding and everyone will come dressed like Marilyn Manson and my husband-to-be will seranade me with the hard rock version of Bon Jovi's I'll be there for you! yea...must take this all down.
People who hang out with me often enough will know that i ALWAYS seem to attract/bump into really wierd people. For example, i met an 60 yr old auntie with a david beckham mohawk once and taxi drivers that always tell me weird stuff and most recently was this lady on the train who really seemed not to understand the whole concept of "personal space". I came into the train and walked over to the opp door area and was leaning on the glass thingy right..minding my own business..checking out my own reflection and being horrified...then she comes in at the next stop..walks over to my corner (PERSONAL SPACE!) and leans in so close i thought she was gonna hug me!! then she reaches her arm over... like less than AN INCH away from my BOOBS to hold the hand rail!! I couldn;t.. I dare not breathe.. luckily i got off at the next stop i mean if she lost her balance and fell on me, she would have choked me to DEATH! why didn't i react?? I din know how to react!! its not everyday some stranger leans in so close KAY... ¶ 7:34 AM 0 comments

japanese, chocs and lotsa lurve.
i was supposed to blog about this last night but i was just too darn pOoped so i am doing this now. H'anyway... Last night saw the reunion of the 3 musketeers! Yeah-uh! Silly me forgot to bring my handphone and it only further reinforced the fact FACT that i absolutely cannot function normally without Wilson. OMG. Kay i digress.. So we met at City Hall and yes the world felt a lil more...WHOLE, COMPLETE, and RIGHT now that we're reunited. So off we trod to the duria..i mean esplanade to have some Japanese at Ichiban Boshi. The service there wasn't too good really. and we got simple unedible wasibi - it was crusty and dry and chunky. When we asked for replacement, they weren't exactly apologetic but the food was quite OK.
After my tempura fix, it was time to satisfy the chocolate craving so it was Haagen Daz to the rescue. The fix this time was a gi-normous yummilicious chocolate fondue.

It was expensive but Isobel so kindly offered to treat and yours truly was truly a happy and satisfied girl.
As i the night wasn't perfect enough, i received my first birthday present. 
No the present wasn;t Joanne kay it was the cow. The cutest, softest lil toy cow called buttermilk! AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
To top it all off, I get KISSES. Real ones not the ones by Hersheys.
The only reason why i look so Pervy in this one, is because i really enjoyed it :P

Denise's list.
ok. I am doing this only because people keep asking AND these people are starting to sound rather desperate. Kays i geddit you wanna get me something i may not need but really do want and i'm touched. so to make things easier, i'm gonna provide a list. But first i must make it absolutestly clear that i will throughly enjoy and hold dear to my heart anything and everything you so wish to bestow upon me as a birthday gift. I promise.
I kinda need new ear phones to plug into my laptop. the ones i have now are
1. Not mine
2. not fitting properly into my ears
3. so tattered and torn you'd think my ears had teeth.
The following things are stuff that i want but never got down to getting them myself. They are kinda expensive which is why i really didn't want to list em in the first place. The thing is i dun mind at all if you get me vouchers to help pay for some of the stuff. Here goes:
a. Crumpler Bag
b. Crumpler Laptop Case
c. Adidas Jacket ( VOUCHERS!!) i already have my heart set on a particular jacket :)
d. A nice plastic water bottle. Pls hor No powerpuff girl kindergarden one hor. You shld know what i'm talking about.
e. Crocs
f. A nice sports brand bag.
enough? i can;t go on really.
The secret to mking me happy. Bring yourself to the party and give me a big hug and kiss! ¶ 11:28 AM 2 comments

The Cabs are outta get us!
finally went shopping with the mother today. yesh. much needed mother-daughter bonding and retail therapy. Not to mention, i've finally figured out the secret to having yourself a satisfying day of shopping. I'm talking--
1. getting the clothes you like in your size
2. finding something you've been looking for going for 50% cheaper
3. good service
4. minimal hunting for the things you set out to buy
5. getting a mercedes cab at the taxi Q
When you find yourself, feet aching, back breaking and fingertips purple and numb from carrying shopping bags AND YET still smiling as you show off your spoils THEN, LADIES and GENTS you had yourself level 5, totally satisfying and effective retail therapy session!!
oh yes yes the secret: *whispers* say a lil prayer before you head out. of course it works better if you're sincere and truly in dire need off retail release.
My mum's a strange lady. Not convinced? let me show you Exhibit A : ME! ok now that you're convinced, lets move on. As we were waiting at the taxi stand, feeling obviously exhausted from the day of intensive shopping, she came up with some conspiracy theory all by herself. I was already kinda sian that not many empty cabs were coming in, and she went on and on mumbling about how these cab drivers are very smart, they PURPOSELY alight the passengers and drive off without picking up new ones because they wanna wait around for people to book taxis and that way they can earn i-dunno-how much more la. " You see you see, at first he put the yellow light THEN when he reach, he put ON CALL! tsk tsk tsk tsk so smart ah." *denise garners whatever strength is left in her and stares at mum* Kay i really dunno if shes right. But i thought it'd be rather dumb for the cabbies to purposely not pick up passengers and go wait for booking right? Remember teacher always say: Bird in hand better than bird in bush!" AHA! so i really doubt her conspiracy theory holds. You may say i like to let people have the benefit of the doubt. Why rain on your own parade right? Anyway one paranoid in the family is enough. So when we got on the cab, i told my mum " mum! slide down your seat and hide!!! you never know who's watching us !! We got a cab without booking!! how can it be!?!? *gasp* must be a goverment experiment *gasp* gasp*gasp* My mother proceeded to roll her eyes " VERY FUNNY! ah you. SIAO! sit properly la!" Ah yes. my mother so misses my nonsense. ¶ 8:50 AM 0 comments

At Last.
If you like acapella, then you're definitely definitely gonna enjoy this group of guys. Chanced upon a clip of them performing on some talent show called "America's Got Talent". Apparently its some new show produced by Simon Cowell. Simon, if you're listening, fer gudness sake get yerself a better name! geez. AnyhOo, the group is called At Last. As in At Last, a buncha people who look good and can really sing! Some of the other songs they do are not that impressive but I love their rendition of Ain't no Sunshine. Its fresh, its tight and its unique. 2 words - I LIKE. enjoy.
If you'd like to see em perform on the show (shorter version), OR if you like seeing Brandy( the singer NOT the alcoholic beverage) gasping exaggeratingly OR if you miss David Hasselhoff from the nights of Baywatch - with Pam Anderson, Baywatch - Post Pam Anderson, Baywatch the reunion movie, Baywatch Nights and Baywatch Hawaii and YES who can forget, Knight Rider (show with talking car) please watch this:
ps. you can see better how cute the guys are on this one tOo *wink* Jacq....*nudge*
