Figure 8.

I need you more than I can take.

Singapore has been great to me! (: Sorry for not being able to post for two weeks because I've been a little busy catching up with my family and friends in Singapore! Oh, and for the previous post, it's delivered two weeks late because I forgot to post it when I reached home.. 

Anyway, I went out with Yi Jie on the eighth! It's been great having her around. It's kinda saddening to know that that outing might be one of the last few for us since we are most probably heading towards different institutions in the next chapter of our lives. We went to Orchard for our outing! But before that, my mother gave me vouchers for Takashimaya upon knowing that I would be heading for Orchard. Had breakfast with YJ before getting tickets for 'Wreck-It-Ralph'! Then, we headed to Takashimaya to buy 4 packets of Takoyaki for Lunch! I would have forgotten that she doesn't like mayonnaise if she had not reminded me not to put any mayonnaise dressing in her packets! Oh, and I bought her a few packets of Matcha Pocky! Headed to Cathay Cineleisure to catch our movie but we were about 30 minutes early. So, we decided to stone at the tall tables near the cinema to chit-chat. We each ate about one packet of our takoyaki while waiting and smuggled the rest in.. Oh yeah, she downloaded Phewtick onto my phone and I found it quite cool initially because users are able to get $30 in their Paypal account after accumulating a huge amount of points! But I discovered the undesirable effects when I got home because you'll be giving away your current location to other users of the app too. And to make things worse, it's kinda like an app for stalkers. I would like to have some privacy and am still quite surprised to find out that I hadn't un-installed the app yet. Now that reminds me..

Moving on, the movie was awesome! Headed to ION orchard to accompany YJ to buy her new set of earpiece! And after that I headed home to play LoL and dinner (:.

Went out with Jue Ying on the 9th at Kallang Leisure Park! She was late for about 30 minutes, but I wasn't mad because I remembered myself being late for about 5 minutes for most of our hang-outs. And that occurred more than 10 times! Besides, I wasn't exactly bored waiting for her because I was wandering around the mall. There's a mini Korean Mart there and the stuff they have is quite cool! ^^. We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant. I think my meal was worth the price, even though it may be a little pricey for a lunch. Anyway, I had a Salmon Teriyaki Don, Yakitori and Matcha Ice Cream for $10! (: Went to the Bowling Alley downstairs for two games (:. I think I did quite okay because of my lack of experience in Bowling.. Headed to Starbucks to get JY her macha-whatever drink. And guess who I met? AIKO! Ahh. She's cute, just saying. Anyway, she's there for netball and I was quite surprised to see her because it has been one-and-a-half years since I last saw her. AND SHE RECOGNISED ME! She was telling me how the OBS T-shirt I was wearing was awesome because she had one too.. Haha.. Anyway, JY and I went to browse through a mini book fair before heading home..

And then there came judgement day. It was the time for reckoning.. I still remember myself being sick to my stomach whenever I thought about my results. Anyway, I headed out to Nex with my family to have a quick lunch at Hot Tomato! My dad told me that I was most probably going to receive 14 points raw for Os and that freaked me out. Headed back to school nervously to await our verdict. Mr Teo told me to relax when he saw me, but I still panicked anyway.. Felt a little relieved upon seeing the smile on Mrs Ong's face when she was walking up the dias. Was searching frantically for the distinction rates for Combined Humanities (Geography) and Biology and was even more relieved upon realizing the high distinction rates! And soon, it was time for the result slips to be given out. And it sucks being the first register number in a class. You always get your results first. Wasn't ecstatic nor sad about it. Just contented. There were subjects I thought that I could've done better.. Anyway, here are my results :

English Language - B3

Combined Humanities ( Geography ) - A2

Elementary Mathematics - A1

Additional Mathematics - A1

Chemistry - A1

Physics - A1

Biology - A2

Chinese - A2

Higher Chinese - C6 ):

Was quite disappointed with my HCL because that means that I'll have to retake Chinese in JC because I don't want a 'C' to appear in my A-level cert. AND FUCK STOMATA AND GUARD CELLS. YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK. That stupid mistake gave me an A2 ):. FUCK IT.

Went home afterwards to consider my JC choices since we were only given 5 days which include a weekend to make our JAE decisions. ):.

Anyway, headed to NYJC's open house with Chang Jie, Mun Pin, Qiyu and Ting Hong! The facilities there are REALLY cool (:. I felt the sense of belonging the moment I stepped inside the school compound. I like the range of CCAs that it offers, and the results there have been pretty good too! Watched a few performances from the various performing art groups before asking questions about appealing and stuff..

Went to Central Macs to have lunch before going to AJC's Open House! Was kinda disappointed with it though. The facilities looked REALLY old and the goodie bag didn't contain anything that has any information about the school.. Not even a map. Well, at least I get to meet Diana! It's really nice to see her again! 

Visited SAJC's open house with Sarah and Chang Jie on the 12th! Was also quite disappointed because I felt kinda underwhelmed about the facilities there as I had high expectations for that JC.. And Sarah was right. NYJC is better than SAJC in almost every area, except for the excellence in certain CCAs. But the welfare in NYJC is definitely better! Walked around the compound for about 20 to 30 minutes before heading to Serangoon to have lunch at Carl's Junior! Ah. I really wanna visit Sarah's workplace someday ):. And I hope that it'll be real soon because school's starting soon already..

Anyway, completed my JAE applications on the 13th upon much deliberation. It was about the arrangement of my first two choices. ACJC and NYJC.. I think that both schools are good in their own ways. But distance definitely did matter. So NYJC won hands down. And now, I'm hoping that I'll be able to enter NYJC because I've already known many of my friends putting it as their first choice too! AND MORRIS IS GOING TOO ^^. Woots. He's one of my closest friend in SAJS (:. Ah. I remember the school bus rides we usually had! We used to sit next to each other on the bus home! And the best part? WE CAN GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER ^^. He lives like just two blocks away from my house ^^.

Moving on, went out with Jue Ying on Thursday in Plaza Singapura! Had lunch together at a Japanese restaurant before wandering around the mall~. Was quite surprised to know that Mark&Spencer has a food hall, just like the one in HK! Ah.. Kinda regretted not giving my close friends other stuff from HK ):. But I'm glad that they received and liked it (:. 

Had green tea snow ice at the basement for a short tea-break! It was simply delectable, but of course, not comparable to the ones in HK. THEY ARE JUST TOO GOOD (:.. 

Headed to Ang Mo Kio to grab JY's dose of Koi before walking around AMK Hub for about 30 minutes before meeting Randy and Joyce at the cinema. 'Gangster Squad' is a nice but slightly gory movie. Ah. Emma Stone is inside. I LOVE HER TO THE MAX! Anyway, the movie was more memorable for me because something happened in the cinema ^^. Well, I don't think Randy and Joyce know so I'm going to keep my lips sealed before any nonsense comes out from my mouth ^^.

Had Pepper Lunch for dinner! It was nice catch-up session with Randy and Joyce! Ah. It's sad to know that I might not see Randy anymore since we hardly hang out and we'll most likely end up in different JCs. ):. 

Anyway, I've been spending the rest of my time playing LoL at home and catching up with my fellow gamers ^^. I feel blessed to have friends like them. Ah. Team rock solid FTW. Even though my support Lux may miss her snares during a few critical moments.. But it feels great to play with them!

Sorry about the abrupt ending, but I gotta end this post now because it's 1226 now. Urgh. Gotta work on my endings..

I'll see y'all again..

You're the reason why I smile (:

The Getaway.

Wish I can tell you goodbye,

but I won't.

'Cause everytime I try,

I'm beggin' you to unlove me.

Because I can't unlove you.

Hey guys! I'm currently typing this post on the plane home ^^. And yes, that means that my holiday in HK has ended and it's time to face my dreaded 'O' level results on the 10^th of January. Sigh. Worried sick about it. Now that the holiday is over, I'm getting a tad more nervous for it every passing second.

Anyway, my last few days in HK have been great! Went to Sham Shui Po to visit my uncle's office and it was pretty cool (:. After that, I headed to South Horizons to visit my Aunt! She looks the same everytime I see her. And the best thing about her is that she hardly wear any make-up. She's all natural!

Attended a seafood dinner on Saturday, and it was extremely symptious! We had shrimps, a gigantic fish, clams, mussels, prawns etc. Definitely delectable! But the worst part was that I arrived an hour earlier because I read my aunt's message wrongly.. ):. How clumsy of me to have misread a specific detail!

Sunday was simply awesome for me! Started the day with Les Miserables. Quite surprised that Singapore has an NC-16 rating for it while HK has none. I was initially quite uncomfortable about the way the characters interacted since most of them sang their dialogues out, literally. But this show's a DEFINITELY MUST-WATCH especially if you're a Anne Hathaway or Amanda Seyfried fan! Anyway, I think there's an actress involved in the movie that looked like Jennel Garcia who was a contestant in the FOX series X-Factor USA. She looked EXTRMELY pretty! So, for those who have not come of age before the movie run ends, you've just missed one of the best movies of all time! Cried twice in that movie. The actors/actresses delivered their emotions very well in the movie despite having the need to sing or at least, mouth the lyrics of the songs out.

My favorite scene is when Anne Hathaway was singing the renowned ' I Dreamed A Dream '. The emotions hit me in the head hard.

Anyway, now that I'm going to fly back to Singapore, I think it's time to really settle down and get ready for the new chapter of my life that I'm about to embrace. Ah. I'm planning to re-tidy my room once more despite having cleaning up my room before flying to HK. I think I might need more space to put my lecture notes and tutorials because I can't throw any worksheets for the next two years! Oh, and I wanna make my life more organised. To tell you guys the truth, I'm still quite surprised that I virtually managed to memorise all my homework and events without touching the personal organiser that ZH had given me for the past 4 years. But I'm planning to change that from today onwards! Gotta start hunting for daily planners to mark my homework down and organise my life better.

Moving on, I think I should get a glass jar. I wanted to purchase one in HK, but was worried that it might break on the journey home, especially on the plane! Well, I'm going to follow Joy's idea of recording happy occasions that will be definitely be happening in the year ahead and place them inside the glass jar. I think it's a great idea because it'll definitely remind me of the happy memories I will have in 2013 when I do my end-year reflections in December once more..

Oh yeah. Huifang, if you're reading this, I'm really sorry because I don't have the guts to do what you've told me to do ):. Maybe one day, things will be alright between us again. Sigh. I feel so dumb for all the things that I've did. For the wrongs that could have been right..

Moving on, I am glad that all the gifts I've sent for delivery have been received, except for Adeline's! Ah. Feeling a bit worried for hers. Not because of the actual gift, but the card. Spent almost an hour writing it! And that reminds me that I got to buy cards and start writing my farewells to my friends.. Feeling a little stressed right now because there's so little time to write but I'll try my best to complete them, espcially for my close friends! I can't imagine life without being schoolmates with all of you! Y'all have been great to me!

By the way, I've heard from my aunt that MSN is going to close down soon.. ):. I'm so going to miss using it. Especially with all the conversations that I've made..

Hmm. I think I'ma end my post here, since there is nothing much to blog about these days. But I'm hoping that my outing with Yi Jie tomorrow will be exciting! (:

But you keep thundering and wondering,

thundering and wondering why you won't just fucking rain.

And get it over with.

Echo.

I thought I'd call just to let you know,
I've been thinking of you.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me. And I'm feeling GOOD~ Ah that song's a classic. It has been covered countless times by contestants in various singing reality shows! Certainly the make-or-break type..

Anyway, how's everyone's new year? Mine's been really awesome! Went to a geopark yesterday with my aunt! Even though it may seem like Geography as I was learning more about the different types of rocks, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and took lots of pictures (:. Thinking about the new year, I've realised that I've forgotten to make new year resolutions ):. Well, of course I'll be wishing for good 'O' level results ( below 9 points RAW), to be truly happy and make new friends in the next chapter of my education as well as to forgive those who have hurt me in the past and made me stronger to become who I am right now.

Of course, it'll be hard to forgive my once-close friends who treated me like shit. But I'll try to let it all go, but it'll take a while. Maybe months? Or even the entire year. But I'll do my best to fulfil this resolution by the end of this year!

So here we go again. School's reopened and I see juniors struggling to finish their holiday homework. I hope that choir will do well in the upcoming SYF and the Sec 2s and 4s would work hard for their final examinations this year ( Streaming exam and O levels at the end of the year ). Remember, nothing's impossible! (:

Moving on, I'm returning to Singapore really soon, in less than a week's time! Life's been pretty great here in HK, but I don't really wanna return because the 'O' level results will be released REAL soon once I return and I've been nightmares about them. What if I don't do that well? What if I don't get into SAJC? Sigh, I won't be able to enjoy my trip to Taiwan if I get horrendous results.. I've tried to convince myself that I've done my best already, but what if your best just ain't enough?

Oh well, so much for trying to end this post with a happy note.

PS. I'm thinking of changing my blog's URL pretty soon.. It's time to change it to a song title that's more updated~ 'Sometimes You Leave' was by Carrie Underwood in 2007..

I need your love.
I need your time.
When everything's wrong,
you make it right.

New Year's Eve.

I.. I wanna stop the clocks tonight.

It's just fifty minutes away from the start of a new year. So, I'ma post this right now so that it wouldn't seem that I posted this late..

2012 had its ups and downs. There were moments when I really felt like giving up and let everything go. But hey, I am still here, standing. I managed to survive all the drama and the events that have occurred this year. But all in all, it has been a great year! Got to know many people, like Adeline, Keandra, Sarah etc, at a much deeper level, although it's still sad to see so many people leaving my life. Oh well. I guess there were some mistakes made. But I still have to face the fact that we'll be saying our last goodbyes when we collect our 'O' level results and begin our next chapter of our education.

This year has passed in a flash, at least for me. Maybe it was all the mugging for 'O's, or the many regretful moments that I had. Sleep started to feel a little too short for me, even though I managed to sleep for at least 4 hours on a regular school day! Well, I remember settling the Open House, even though it didn't quite meet up to my expectations because we couldn't exactly attract many juniors to join, or that our performance was horrendous due to the 'work shifts' that we made. But it was still fun, seeing all my classmates and friends doing their respective duties in their CCAs, except for the Council. I don't know why, but after 4 years in ZH, I still kinda despise this organization. And whenever someone becomes a prefect, I would always tend to be a bit unfair to them, especially in choir. Oh well..

Sigh. Even though I usually rant about the facilities that Zhonghua has, I can't bear to leave. The teachers are great and friendly! They seriously work their ass off for us, and I appreciate that. If there's any teachers reading this if I make my blog public for my annual dedications, thank you for being such wonderful mentors. I still remember Miss Lim U-Shan saying that the 4 years in secondary school would zoom past us. And when I was Sec 1 then, I remember staring at her in disbelief. But now, all I can say is, " As was foretold. " I recall sitting next to Xin Yi at the start of the year. She was my first female neighbour in class, as I came from an all-boys primary school. And yeah, the rumors were right. She was my first real crush. I still remember doing really silly stuff like putting my heart out in presents and asking her out. Ah. It was a beautiful past. Not because she was my girlfriend, because she wasn't. But it was the moment of chasing someone. Haha. Looking at it, all I can do now is smile and be glad that she still is one of the closest friends that I'll ever have, despite having a crush on her once.

I remember having bus-rides home with Clare, aka the Curly-Haired girl. Even though my first impressions of her came from her hairstyle, she initially started to irk me as I thought that she was arrogant. Well, if you tell this to her, she'll understand, knowing what she did to me in Sec 1. But nevertheless, we became close friends. We used to talk about everything under the sun. Results, friends, objects, weather and people. And she seemed so positive in virtually everything! She has been a great listener, and most importantly, a wonderful friend (:.

Then there was Shazwani, who became my first faithful neighbour. I remember writing paper notes to her all day long and during every lesson. She would usually talk to me about music stuff and perhaps about band while I tell her about my choir stuff. She's awesome! I remember us copying each other's homework when we were too lazy to do them the night before, which happened nearly every day xD.

And when I shifted places to sit next to Shaz, Chang Jie came into the picture as well, becoming my second faithful neighbour! He's a good and decent kiddo who always did his homework and would stay focused during lessons. I admire his positivity and optimism in everything that he does! Our friendship became deeper when we played dota together with Javier and all, AND NOW, HE'S MY BEST GUY FRIEND, even if he doesn't notice it..

There was Gracia (my best female friend) too! She was-and-still-is awesome! I remember the all-night long calls that I would make, telling her every secret and emotion that I bottled up in my heart during the day or the week. She knows everything about me. Oh, and most importantly, the countless paper notes that we send during class! I still keep them, both from Shaz and Gracia (:, in a container because they remind me of the fun times I had in Sec 1 and 2! (:.

Well, these are my friends that I'm closest with, at least right from where it all began. They all managed to change a part of me for the better and have stood by my side no matter what I did or had done.. I know that I have many others to thank, and so I am deciding to do an annual dedications once again as mentioned earlier!

Anyway, I'm now sitting on a couch typing this post while sipping a glass of hot green tea, waiting for the countdown to begin. It's only 8 more minutes to a new year, a brand new beginning. No matter what sins or mistakes that we've committed, it'll all be undone this year. I hope everyone will be able to move on from their past, and enjoy the present that each of us have right now. To a new start, a year of happiness and bliss. To a new chapter, a year of new beginnings.

And now, while raising my green tea as if it's my glass of champagne, I would like to wish everyone a blessed happy new year and all the best to the future that awaits us (:.

Cheers to the new year! (:

I don't want this night to end.

Hello, wherever you are.

Because all that matters is the beautiful life.

“It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and than make the choice to share it with other people. You can't just sit their and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn't do or what they didn't know. I don't know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it's okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.” ― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Maybe I should step back. It's much easier not knowing stuff that you aren't supposed to know. Secrets, rumors and all the bullshit that shrouds our life. Because once you know them, you'll be curious and have this tinge of urgency igniting within you to find out more. Even if you are surrounded by a pack of white lies, or even lies, at least you'll be happy. even if that means that you're delusional. There won't be any worrying involved, or thinking about what others may think of you. Perhaps that's the mistake I've committed throughout my entire secondary school life. I've been too involved with my surroundings and the drama that I've lost myself halfway. I'm just not me anymore. They say that change is the only constant, but I want a part of me that will never be taken away from me. I've made too many mistakes this year. Grave ones indeed. Ranging from doing an unforgivable act to caring so much for a friend and being met with disappointment in the end when you find out that he doesn't give a shit about you and feel embarrassed hanging out with me. I'm really exhausted from being nice, extending a helping hand to others. So all that I'm wanting for Christmas is just a fresh start. I know that I'll be having one soon as I'll begin the next chapter of my life upon receiving my results.. But I really hope that my personality will recover back to the way it was. I am really praying that I'll be more self-centered and start picking my friends correctly. To Clare, Adeline, Gracia, Hui Fang, Rowena, Joyce, Yi Jie, Ikhmah, Rebecca, Jue Ying, Xin Yi and Chang Jie, I am truly blessed to be friends with you all. We may have disagreements at times, but I know you care for me, as much as I care for you guys. I know I've made grave mistakes in the past, but you guys were there for me no matter what. All of you still hanged out with me, and treated me as a true friend. I'll never forget you guys (:

And now I'm praying that my mistakes didn't cost me too much. I hope that my results allow me to enter the JC of my desired choice. So that I'll be able to start anew and just be myself in the next two years of my education. I know I've let some friendships slip past this year, but honestly thinking about it, I wouldn't have made a single change to those events because they weren't my true friends. I no longer care about the quantity of friends, but the quality of them. As long as I have people supporting me all the way, and lending me a shoulder to lean on in case I stumble along the way, I'm content. I'm satisfied with friends that are happy to treat me as their good friend too, unlike others.. Oh, and I wish that I'm easily contented. Just like Clare. This is the point that I've always admired about her. It's not about expectations, about wanting people to give you things that you actually wish for, but about the little things that people remember and put their heart and soul in whatever that they're giving you.

Don't give promises you can't keep.
When I thought that you were my greatest friend,
I was hit hard in the head.

Dum Dum Diddy.

And I miss you everyday,
but there's nothing left to say.



It's been a while since I last posted a picture in my blog. I'm loving Leona on her new record, "Glassheart". I think that it's a huge improvement from "Echo". Currently addicted to the ballads in the album..

Anyway, I think I'm falling more deeply in love with British pop! It was perhaps just Leona Lewis at first, and there came the Wanted as well as Rita Ora and Jessie J. Oh, and Adele too! British ballads are so much more emotional than the American ones in general these days.. Ah. Listening to Leona Lewis' "Lovebird" and falling in love with it even more with each passing second!

Moving on, HK has been great! Managed to visit Yuen Long for the wife's cakes as well as the renowned Snow Ice shop there (:. Oishi! Simply delectable! But the process of finding the shops were gruesome and had to depend heavily on GPS and Google Map to navigate myself around. thank god for data plan (:. The monthly plan is quite cheap here, definitely affordable for me!

Went to a nearby shopping centre to shop. Had this urge to purchase gifts but resisted. And now I'm regretting it! There's this toy that I've been wanting to get for someone and I can't seem to spot it anywhere else. Looks like I've to go back and get it ):. But it's really cool! It's something like an updated version of the Neocube..

Visited Tsim Sha Tsui the next day. Nothing has changed there, apart from the shops! It is still one of the most crowded places in HK (:. And finally, I've managed to grab a bite of one of HK's delicacies after days of searching - the renowned Egg cupcake (copied from a street stall that displayed its English name). It's sold in Singapore too, but they're not comparable to the ones here! And then I've visited one of the most famous dessert shops in town to have a taste of my favorite dessert - Mango sago served with Pomelo, a dash of coconut juice and a scoop of mango ice cream right on the centre of the bowl (:. Headed to the nearby shopping centreS ( 's' is capitalized for a reason ) and found my feet aching after 5 hours of walking around without any rest. Visited the 'Mark&Spencer' outlet next and little did I know that they actually sell food products too (:. Spent about S$50 buying Christmas gifts for my friends in Singapore on shortbread and chocolates (:.

Proceeded to the Ferry Pier to have dinner with my entire family before heading home! The food was mediocre for me, especially when they were being served by the restaurant. Managed to catch up with my cousins and teased my female cousin A LOT because of her height ^^. Teehee!

Ah. I miss Singapore's food. I miss all of the local delicacies like our famous Chicken rice etc. OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I MISS THE CHILLI THERE ):. It's sweet and really spicy there, unlike the salty and mild chillis here ):. Oh well. Gotta suck it all up. But the food here's really good too (:.

Gotta go now. Sorry for the abrupt post once more. Bye (:

No match for your fingerprint.
No substitute, no other you.
'Cause there can only be one.

Warrior.

I just want my friend back.

It's a shame. I've manged to destroy a perfectly fine friendship. I remember your little attempts to cheer me up regardless of whether I was down or not. You were like a star, shining brightly. Maybe I should have held back. I was trapped in my own world of confusion. I wasn't mature enough to handle such emotions. Your morning texts. They were the ones which usually made my day. You understood me, even to the extent of knowing me better than most of my close friends. It's a pity that things had to turn out this way. It was my fault to begin with, and I deserve everything that has had happened. I've tried ways to overcome, but they all failed. Tried to trick myself that I was over you, but I wasn't. Because whenever my mind was unoccupied, images and thoughts of you would always dart into it. I tried to apologize, but I'm always not myself whenever I tried communicating with you. I don't know why, but I usually mutter the wrong things on impulse. Maybe you were right to give up on me. You no longer give a fuck about me anyway.

Let me start off the post with the recently announced Grammy nominations! I am quite contented with the list because I think the nominees deserved them. Carrie scored two nods in the country categories ( Best country song, best solo country performance for "Blown Away" ). Kelly Clarkson scored 4 nods ( Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Solo Pop Performance for 'Stronger(What Doesn't Kill You) as well as Best Pop Vocal Album for "Stronger"). Rihanna had 3 nods ( Best Solo Pop Performance for "Where Have You Been", Best Rap/Sung collaboration for "Talk that Talk" and Best Short Form Music Video for "We Found Love") Oh, and Taylor Swift managed to score a few nods as well! But it was a little sad that they weren't exactly in the country category. Looks like the Grammy committee has agreed that she belonged to pop now, and it's a good thing. I like her new style (:. I know that she clinched a nod for Record/Song of the Year and that is quite a feat.

Moving on, Ke$ha's new album, "Warrior", is out in stores now! I really can't wait to get my hands on it! I've listened to every track in the album and I've fallen in love with every single one of them! For me, "Warrior" and "Supernatural" are the two standout songs of the album. Maybe it's because of my relation with the lyrics, or their catchy choruses! Ke$ha has seriously stepped up her game and blown me away.

Anyway, HK's been pretty good to me! Went to Disneyland with Esther and also went to China for 5 days to visit my jia xiang and it was pretty cool! Managed to witness a wedding and taste good food! I miss the roast goose there ):. It's much more delicious than the ones here in HK ):. I've been having a craving for egg tarts recently. The pastry is AMAZING. I don't mind eating the pastry alone without the huge yellow part. Tried the famous polo bun in Mong Kok and it was wonderful. How can a bun be fluffy and crispy at the same time? (:. Despite indulging myself with amazing food, I've yet to visit more places in HK! I still need to go to Kowloon City to eat some of the street-stall food there, and maybe Yuen Long for their famous Wife Cakes!

Gah. So much food, yet so little time ):. I hope that I'll be able to fulfil my wishes that I've made for this HK trip before I fly back home.. Speaking of home, I'm feeling a little nervous about my results. What if they don't meet my expectations? What if I really did screw up? I'm hoping that I'll be able to do well so that I'll be able to enter SAJC and start the next chapter of my life without any regrets..

Let's just put that aside eh? I should be enjoying my holidays. I'm finding peace here, and it's great! Gotta start writing Christmas cards and posting them to my close friends REALLY soon! I'm hoping that they'll receive before the actual day or at most, on the day itself! So I gotta start putting on my thinking cap and recall all the pleasant memories that they've given me (:.

Anyway, I'm gonna post one of my favorite tracks from Christina Aguilera's newly-released "Lotus"!



I gotta go now :X. Sorry for the abrupt ending once more. Bye!

And now I'm finally over you,
I'm now set free.

Let's capture the moment,
because forever ain't forever.
I swear by the moment,
because together aim't promise forever.
Let's live by the moment,
as long we have each other.
I'm prepared to die in the moment.
Mother Mary,
I swear I wanna change.
Mister Jesus,
I'd love to be clean.

- Rihanna
