Dramatized

*Warning: Chronicles of a babbling fangirl*

I've been watching a drama called 《步步惊心/ Startling by each step(yes, startling's the word, no typo.

IT HAS SINCE BECAME MY FAVORITE DRAMA (at least, for now).

I don't know about you, but it's so romantic LOLOLOL.

Wah and the 8th prince wrote a poem for Ruoxi <3

鹊桥仙（宋）秦观

纤云弄巧，飞星传恨，银汉迢迢暗渡。

金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。

柔情似水，佳期如梦，忍顾鹊桥归路！

两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮！

Elaborated as follows: 一片片纤细轻柔的云彩，翻弄出巧妙优美的形状; 一颗颗迅速移动的星星，为传递离愁别恨而奔忙。银河辽阔两岸迢遥，默默踏着鹊桥，匆匆越过银色波浪。每年一次的相逢，任金风送爽，玉露纷降，更显得圣洁高尚。就这一次相逢，远远胜过人世间千万次，无数次的你来我往。双方温柔缠绵的情意，就像那银河流水一样悠长; 久等相逢的美好时光，飞逝而去短暂得梦幻一样。真不忍心看喜鹊们，才助他们相见，又搭起分别的桥梁。然而，两人的情如能经得起时间的考验，永恒犹如地久天长，又哪里在乎，是否能天天都从早到晚长相厮守，总陪着对方？

As 2011 draws to a close, I started clearing out my table and cupboard.
Managed to dig out loads of old things.
Was pretty overwhelmed by the avalanche of memories that came flooding back; I found all the cards that friends in pri, sec and recently, jc gave me.

I just wanna say, I'm really thankful for them.
Though people would forget(me), I won't forget :D
(Sidestory: My kindergarden friend forgotton about me! :((.....(He'll incur my wrath someday)
Issit because I have super good memory? I can still remember all the faces and names of all my ex and current classmates. Or maybe he's just stupid. -___- )

Wanted to post some pictures of the cards, but I decided that I'm too lazy to do that.

2011 has been a really crazy year! I've experienced loads of ups and downs; it is like a rollercoaster ride for me.

This year would have been absolutely bland and uneventful if not for friends like Natalie, Adelin, Kai Lin, Jia Xi, Hana, 1131A(OMG! I'll write down your names one by one...except I'm too lazy sorry!),my SC mates, the lovely Rasalas cheerleaders and ladidadidadida~~

Thanks for all the fun and laughter! :)

AND...

WE'RE ALL GROWING OLD(er)!

2012 WILL DEFINITELY BE AWESOME BECAUSE OF THE BIG As! Yayness.

I think I'm feeling partially drunk while writing this post. What a way to end my last post for the year...

Akazukin Cha Cha!

2011-12-27T06:40:00.000-08:00

Ahh all the childhood memories!
I used to watch this everyday when I was a toddler!
Hahaha rewatching this for the third time!

Can't believe Cha Cha ended up with Riiya..I was hoping she'll fall for Shiine;I like Shiine better(he's more handsome) :X Oh darn, I'm superficial can't help it.
But oh well, it's still as funny and lighthearted as the first time I watched it when I was a kid.Whee!~

OH MY FIRETRUCK!

Guys, do you remember me posting about a boy named Daniel Morcombe who went missing for 7 years in one of my August 2011 post???

I'M GETTING GOOSEBUMPS NOW~~~~~~

Coz on that day I posted, his murderer was charged and then the poor boy's body(bones) were found.

OH MAH GOAT. The timing is just sooo freaking scary.

Rest in Peace, Dear Daniel.

Hark! The Herald angels sing!

I've been pretty out of it these days. Holidays have given me too much time to reflect and feel depressed. I find that school days are much more bearable than inactivity aka holidays. At least my mind is distracted. At least I won't dwell too much on things.

I have a little story to tell. Being born into a mostly non christian family, I don't get to hear much christian stories, but there is one story which I never forget:

.
.
.
.
.

During her birthday, this little girl's father presented her with a gift. She ripped open the packaging excitedly, revealing a set of beautiful pearl necklace.

She was overjoyed; she's ALWAYS wanted a necklace.

So she took great care of it everyday, bringing it wherever she went; it was her precious treasure.
She loved it more than anything else.

One day, however, her father came to her and asked her to give the necklace back to him.

Of course she refused! Can't he see how much it means to her? Can't he see how much she loves it?

But the strangest thing is, her father asked her to return the necklace everyday. The girl's patience finally cracked and she asked him: "Why?? Why do you want to take it away from me even though you know that I've always wanted it?"

To her surprise, she saw tears in her father's eyes.

"Because I wanted to give you this!" And he took out a box and opened it. In there, was a necklace of utmost beauty: A diamond necklace.

.
.
.
.
.
.

If the girl had given back her father the pearl necklace, she would've gotten something better: a diamond necklace.

Likewise, we all have desires in all of us. But if you think carefully and reflect, maybe the thing you want is just.. well, a want. Not a need.

This reminds me of a truth: Most of us have something or someone that we could not let go, simply because we want it. We want that thing so badly that we can't see anything else.

Like what pastor Vincent says, it's like being in a forest. You see an apple tree, you immediately want it. But because you were too focused on the apple tree, you failed to see the grape tree behind it. Assuming that you like grapes better than apples, you would've been mad at yourself for not exploring and finding that grape tree. Thus- REGRET. ANGER. BITTERNESS.

Yea yea, I know most people would scoff and say: "ya la I understand la, just let go, and you'll find something or someone better."

But no, even though I know about this simple story since I was a kid, I never did understood it fully until things happened to me. I find that this is really true, that if you've never experienced some things, you'll NEVER understand.

I thank God for adversities, loss and all that hurt that I've experienced. If God never take that important thing away from me, it will do more harm to me. I would be obsessed and consumed by it; I would lose sight for who I am, my identity. Moreover, God can always give me a better one, anytime. So eventually, it would not be a loss, but a stepping stone for me.

Arghhh...desires are a pain in the ass; they frustrate you, they tantalise you, yet in the end they don't help anyone.

Hence, to let go would be dying to self.
Afterall, we live not for ourselves. That would be plain useless. You want to live as a rich person and not care about the sufferings of the poor? You might as well live in a no man's island and die alone. Nobody would care, nobody would know.

The true purpose of life would be living out God's purpose, living for others. Lets all stop finding excuses and start living a meaningful life.

And after all my blabberings, i finally found an article that expressed everything I wanted to say: HERE.

Going to Adelin's house with Kai Lin and Jia Xi to watch MAMA awards later! I shall stop feeling depressed.

Richard III

2011-11-20T19:39:00.000-08:00

A lil update here...

Results are out, and by God's grace, I'm promoted.
I know I totally don't deserve it, and that I should've been retained coz I've been so lazy to study, plus the laziness was far worse than my O level days. My brain felt kind of stagnant. But well, since I was given a second chance, I'm gonna work as hard as I can from now :)

Yesterday all the literature students in school were invited to watch a play- Richard III.

I WAS SO EXCITED MANZ. IT WAS MY FIRST SHAKESPHEREAN PLAY OMGG.
I have always been fascinated by Shakesphere's stories- especially Romeo and Juliet. I know; I'mma sucker for romance. So you can imagine my excitement for this xD!

The play was by the Bridge Project, presented by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and produced by BAM, The Old Vic & Neal Street.

Richard III is centered on the character, Richard of Gloucester. The story is basically on the psychology of evil, or more specifically, on Richard. Of how he kills and frames people to get power, to get the title of King. Read more HERE.

The acting was superb. Though I couldn't understand 80% of what they're saying ( I think they're talking in Shakespherean language), at least I can tell what was going on through the actors' body language.

Fascinating. Awesome. That's all I can say about it. Coupled with dynamic music in the background, the effects are electrifying.

I especially like the actress portraying Lady Anne. She was full of angst, style and drama. Maybe it was because of her bob hairstyle.

Anyway, if you're considering on watching this play... DON'T HESISTATE! Just GO! It would be worth it.

To read more on history and the play, go HERE.

We are who we are!

Hi~
I think I'm gonna offend a shitload of people with this post. WOWNESS!

To startoff, I don't normally call people names but some people are just plain bimbotic.
I admit; I was once like them too.

I wanted to stand out from others, I wanted to be special.
I know that I'm not pretty, so I tried hard to improve on my looks; I didn't want to be 'just another face'.
I was an anti-social person (still am, actually) but that makes me look like a freak, so I tried to be hyper( actually I am sometimes crazy- hyper but that's only occasionally) so that I'll be 'accepted' by the groupies or whatever you call them.
When people didn't seem to like me, I reassured myself that hey, it's they themselves that got a prob; it ain't my fault that they didn't like my distinctive personality( *pukes*).

Why was I like that?
People called me geek, nerd, ugly behind my back. Even though they didn't dare say it in my face, I knew. As a typical girl....

OF COURSE MY FEELINGS WERE BLOODY HURT!

And I tried to change myself... Do what they like to do and act like I like it.
Super awkward and I was deeply unhappy...in the end, I isolated myself. Weakling? Maybe I am. But I would not be someone I am not.

There's also the people who I think are pretty mean: they ostracise and put down others. They are what I call bimbotic(applicable to males too).

They LOVE to say things like " To be nice and good is BORING. I am NOT like that! :D "
Sounds like someone wants to be a jailbait. But to break it down into simpler terms, they meant that they are more special than us 'typical sheep'.

Whenever I hear these kinda things I have a ready set of obscenities ready to be unleashed.
Heh, I admit-the reason why I am angry is partly because I WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

Once, this very pretty girl asked me if I had my math book with me. Unfortunately, I had it with me, so I lent it to her. Then she said to her friend: "see, I told you geeks would have it." then flashes a 'I am so smart and beautiful' smirk, flipping her hair to emphasize it.

Angry not? What if this happens to you?? If you are unflustered by this, I think you need an emotion check with your psychiatrist.

To correct her underdeveloped brain, she meant nerds. Geeks are people who are "a computer expert or enthusiast" OR "a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts" OR "a weird or dislikable person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual".

I fit into none of these categories, unless you're calling me an anime geek. Okay, so now you know.

She's one of the people who trives in attention. Not that it's a bad thing, I like attention too. I mean, WHO WOULDN'T???

BUT.

Are we all compromising our true nature just to please others? She is one of the others who would purposely say 'smartass' stuff during class, purposely be mean to others (put them down like what she did to me-and that was only a mild case), wear her dress like she don't know how to properly wear it.

I have good friends that are like that- and people call them " Ah Bengs and Ah Lians" but I know that that's just the way they are.However, they don't put down others to make themselves feel better. I love them, coz they're super funny, do crazy (but legal) stuff and are basically 'chill' people.

However, in the case for some, like that girl, they purposely act like that.
That's not them; they're going against their own nature. How did I know?

They follow.
They seek approval from their friends and people around them first before doing things like making a new friend(Yes, there are people like that!!!).
They do things exactly the same as what their so called cool(er) friends are doing.

And you would hear alot saying that they're unhappy, coz they're tired of hiding behind a mask all the time. They feel lonely, coz 'nobody understands them'.

But that's because they're never allowed others to know the real them.
Why are they changing themselves? To fit in? To win friends? Friends who like their 'mask' and not who they are?

I'D SAY, STOP THIS MADNESS!

You are who you are, you're beautiful as a person (personality faults and all). Everybody is unique in their own way, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to have another you.

So stop it! Stop trying to be someone you're not!

And stop thinking that you're superior to someone else! We are all humans. We all eat, shit and die!

PS: I am a hypocrite through and through. Don't be afraid to flame me. :D

那些年我们一起追的女孩

2011-11-16T06:01:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was good :) Another eventful Shims outing!

We watched <<那些年我们一起追的女孩>>. Kinda weird that I'm reviewing a mandarin movie in english...

IT WAS MY FIRST NC16 movie!

Laugh all you want, but this movie is absolutely worthy to be my first. It sounds really wrong but you get my meaning.

It's basically a romance story centered in school life and among youths. It was unexpectedly hilarious and vulgar (in a good way), albeit slightly disturbing ( COZ I AM A CONSERVATIVE GIRL GIRL). I shall not say more, coz it'll all be spoilers.

Okay, I couldn't resist it anymore, I shall give a spoiler...

I cried towards the ending. So embarrasing. But it shows how impactful and good the storyline is.
SO DO WATCH!

On a random sidenote....
Tomorrow is results day. It is the day of reckoning; whether I retain or promote to J2.
I. Am. Hopeful.

It's 5 more days to OP and I'm still slacking!

Honestly, I'm super anxious coz I screw up whenever I panic. And I'm pretty sure that I would panic like crazy during the actual OP, especially during the Q&A.

I finally finished watching Suzuka! Pretty nice anime but it gets so draggy at times.... Gonna start on its manga...Then I'm gonna watch Clannad. Gosh I have no life.

Jon Cozart finally updates his Youtube account~~ Do checkout his videos @ Paint.

Here's one of his videos: Harry Potter in 99 seconds.

Both are actually the same person.

Pretty cool huh :)

K I'm gonna practice for OP. See you after 5 days!
