Hi! Time for an update.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/keairafilan for videos I took at Singfest.
http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=511348156 for photos.
I officially hate my camera for constantly giving up on me. It stops recording by itself, cutting off my video abruptly. That would explain why I only ended up with short intros. Major disappointment, especially when most of the time it is the chorus that hits the climax of the song. I didn't put up a couple of videos because they're really short and kinda pointless for others to view.
Let's see what I've been up to... Sleeping in, reading, internet surfing and watching the telly or DVDs. Occasionally I do step out of the house to raid the library, shop, exercise or accompany Des on her study sessions. I'm back to youtube addiction. People, watch Wipeout! For now, gymming's taking a backseat as my gym's closed for repainting works. I re-watched Step Up and She's The Man. Those two are great movies I'd recommend.
She's The Man on DVD is awesome. 10x better then watching it on youtube. Fit guy-man aplenty. Love the special features segment, that's a bonus. Never realised I've watched every single movie Channing's acted in so far. I found out the filming locations are all in the heart of Vancouver BC. Holy cow. Jericho Beach, Granville Mall, Point Grey Secondary School, Thunderbird Stadium, University of BC, Vancouver College. Robert Hoffman is goodness too.
Some are born great, Some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
Right, okay. I think I'm going to spend a while in the pool now. No more excuses for lazing around, it's all in the mind! Then I'm going to pick up Twelfth Night again and read it thoroughly, this time to do some cross analysis. And I thought I'll never pick up Shakespeare again.

Harry (Kewell) helped Galata win the Super Kupa! One goal with one assist. If you have trouble finding him, he's behind the yellow jersey-ed guy. Uhm I guess the pic's too small for detail anyway. Final score: Galatasaray 2-1 Kayserpor. Unique cup eh, funny looking medals. Tis' still strange seeing Kewell with his new team-mates too.
Ah, I'm gutted that they're not showing Hearts Of Nineteen, the 7pm Channel U show, now. They're showing the Superband final, but the tv guide in Today didn't state so. Either that or all the clocks in my house are an hour behind time. Zzz.
Business Computing test went alright considering I wasn't very focused in revising. The day before I was still sitting on the couch watching Singapore's table-tennis team defeat South Korea. I guess lying in bed staring at the notes until you drift to sleep every few minutes does help too then. xP I did that for 3 hours past 4am, then it was up at 9am to get ready for school. Why a test at noon on a Sat? D:
Next exam is Microeconomics this Fri. My last paper ends the following Thu! Then it's vacation period until Oct 19th. I'm going to go on a high!
Contradictory to my above statement,
The effects of Singfest are slowly wearing off.
I need more adrenaline.
Melee is my anti-drug. ♥

Ryan Malloy and Ricky Sans (Melee). ♥
Lostprophets' frontman. Psst, Kevyna!
Pierre (Simple Plan). ♥
David (Simple Plan). ♥
Chuck, SP's cool drummer. ♥
Jeff (Simple Plan). ♥
Seb (SP) looking great. ♥
Adel and I took pics with Jamie Scott!
We took some time to realise that One Republic walked past us backstage.
More of the guys from One Republic.
Panic At The Disco. For you, Adel.
The ever-so-cool Jason Mraz ruled the stage at nightfall. ♥Alright, picture post ends here. The full 100+ pics will probably be uploaded to my facebook soon. Ask me if you want to know the full details. :]

Almost a week since break started and I'm not finished with any of my projects. Whoops.
1) IntHT report
2) BCS Liverpool Excel project
3) IntHT Railay Island PBL project [Group]
4) RHT finalised Singapore Flyer questionnaire + surveying on site [Group]
5) MicrEcons essay articles [Group]
6) CommSk finalised questionnaire [Group]
7) APEL portfolio
8) OB final report [Group]
I should really speed up x10. Yeah, I want to be relieved of all these shit so that I can fully enjoy myself in 17 days when Nic comes back from Canada! :D
Did pretty much nothing on Mon but I spent most of my weekend reading Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Awesome book. On Tuesday, I went out with Des and Adel. Initial plan was to catch a movie but we decided to save up for SINGFEST. Window-shopped and talked at Lido.
Yesterday I went to Far East to meet the CJ peeps (PAE IG25)! They were predictably late and when I arrived, only Sheryl and Joanne were already there. Sheryl says I'm always on time. Haha. So we continued waiting until Hilda and Val came, then went to sit outside Subway where Sam(uel) was waiting. The 6 of us sat there for an hour wondering why on earth we were wasting our time sitting around smokers and breathing in secondhand smoke. But at 1.15 when Angie arrived, I left to meet up with Des at CCK.
There was a drunkard on the train. When the train jerked, he fell and knocked his head against the pole. Then he sat down in a vacated seat and started singing the National anthem at the top of his voice. He even stood up at the chorus as though he was doing a ballad. At some point, he sang at me and I was freaked out. Everyone ignored him except the people sitting next to him who scrammed. He changed songs singing a verse that goes "When you were born into this world...oh sad, sad world...your parents..." idk what, before switching to CNY songs.
I had enough and got off at Bishan, walked briskly back into the next carriage and sat down in peace. The drunkard later walked up and down the aisle of the carriages and saw me again. Was afraid he would do something stupid but he didn't. Anyway, Des and I used the study room at Warren. We were there from 2.30pm-10.05pm. I didn't really get much work done but I think it's my projects giving me a problem and not the environment. In fact I think that place is conducive. I like the feeling of being in country clubs, more so if there are no buildings destroying the peaceful panoramic view.
Today is Thursday and I'm at home typing away on the computer. I'm going to round up my IntHT report and see what I can do with the Excel project because I keep getting stuck. In Excel, once you're stuck you cannot progress until the problem is resolved. I hate Excel. Okay, that's all for now. I'm delving into those projects (or trying to). Going to hit the gym later.

Sigh. The heat has become unbearable these couple of days. What I want to do when I wake up every morning is to switch on the bloody aircon.
Simple Plan are going to perform in Japan for 4 days towards the end of May without making a stopover here. People are talking about them appearing at Singfest but somehow I doubt so. Then again, they promised to be back this year! I'm keeping my hopes up here, especially since they're not playing any shows near the Singfest date. I say doubtful because so far they're only playing shows in Canada for the month of Jul-Sep. Ah... whatever. My semestral exams fall on 22 Aug till 5 Sep. D:
I just found renewed love for Jason Mraz today. I'm Yours. ♥ I'm also in love with You And I Both and Life Is Wonderful, among others. He makes soothing music. I enjoy the way he performs and he seems like a nice guy to be around too! Mhmm. (:
It's been some time since I bought CDs... I'm thinking of getting Every Second Counts Deluxe Edition (Plain White T's) and Sleep Through The Static (Jack Johnson). And I still want my Goodbye Blues. Jason Mraz's latest album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things will be out May 13! I'll see if it's any good and if it is I'm gonna get that one too. Btw, check out Jason Mraz's official website! It gives me the lols.
