Hello October

WHOA, IT'S OCTOBER ALREADY?!
I know I shouldn't be here, as a matter of fact i shouldn't be online at all.

O LEVELS IS IN 16 DAYS AND I AM FREEEEEKING OUT.

I should be able to pass this time. I can't imagine what it'll be like if i failed ... OKAY NO. I SHOULDN'T ENTERTAIN THOUGHTS LIKE THESE. THINK POSITIVE KIMMO.

Okay frankly speaking i have no idea what to blog about. I just thought I'd come here since Sarah reminded me about the existence of this & I haven't blogged in over a month so yeah ... hi.

This is my fifth year blogging. I love reading my old posts. It brings back memories both good & bad. Also it give me a chance to laugh about ThE WAY I Typee. YEsh, I USeD To TYpe LIke This. Secondary school memories are fun to read as well. How i used to hate/love schoolmates, events that never seem to make me happy, my poor poor academic results..

Ohh secondary school ... How I missed you. (Not really)

Day 11: Another picture of you & your friend.

FINALLY got to meet up with my childhood friend, Danica a couple of days back at *Scape. We've known each other ever since we were little kids, my family would go to her place on weekends and sing, eat & just do stuff together. Sadly they've moved to Australia so I'll only get to see her as & when she visits Singapore. :)

And yes i looks like a complete dork beside her HAHAH. Don't judge.

Okay i should sleep now. All this sleeping at 3AM is taking a toll on my hair. I DON'T WANNA GO BALD :<

Hang on, it's gonna be over real soon.

Day10 + Auditions + Fathers' day message

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad.

Oooooh i love this challenge. LEZ DO DIZ.
Of course, my song selection changes overtime so yep.

Happy:
(Okay wow, this challenge is alot harder than i thought. yikes /: )

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, so full of life when they sing! The lady looks like she's either a reeeally jolly person or she's just high haha. BUT STILL, doesn't this make you smile? (:

Sad:

Listen to the lyrics. You'll understand why.

Bored:

OKAY, it's not that opera music is boring. I LOVE OPERA/CLASSICAL/BROADWAY music. I just love exploring new songs & play whenever i have nothing to do. Oh a side note, HOW PERFECT IS KATHERINE JENKINS?! LOVE HER VOICE. It's a pity i didn't get to see her here when she had a concert in Singapore :(

Hyped:

I don't have any particular song but uhm, here's one i've been listening to quite alot. just filling the space here heh /:

Mad:

I don't know why, i just love listening to 'noisy' music whenever im upset. It kinda distracts me from my problems abit trying to figure out drum beats & guitar chords.

In other news, Kelly & I went for Kovan Superstar auditions today haha. I honestly think it went pretty well for the both of us! Hopefully we'll make it to the semi-finals!

After auditions we ate at some peranakan restaurant in kovan. Honestly, wasn't the best meal. Mum can make peranakan dishes WAY BETTER! *proud of mom*

ayam buah keluak

ayam rendang? i think.

Chendol!

kangkong(sp?)

Of course there were other dishes silly, im just to lazy to take photos of all of em'!
-

Ahh family. Where would i be without them?

Oh yes & dad, HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Even though you may be rude & stubborn at times (i see where kelly gets her personality from) , you are always there for me, protecting me from harm. I had the biggest shock of my life when you had that stroke, thank God you're now alright. Please don't be stubborn & stop taking lots of soft drinks, it's bad for your sugar level. Oh yes, & im proud of you for quitting smoking! See? it wasn't easy, but it was well worth it.

Once again,

Thank you, for everything. ♥

Day 8 - short term goals for this month & why

Okay, since may's coming to an end, I've decided to write goals for month of JUNE!

1. Musical rehearsals
Having experienced my first rehearsal last week, i had thoughts of actually QUITTING. but no, not now, I've got to persevere. Isn't this what I've always wanted to do? Now's my chance, go for it. So for this month (& the months after of course), i want to do REALLY well. Practice my dance, learn my notes for the songs, just do my very best.

2. Finish revising through combined humanities & sciences.
I want to go through all the content & whatnot before i start spamming my TYS. I CAN DO DIZ.

3. Cover 3 songs ... WITH MY GUITAR.
I think im kinda ready to start covering songs alone without a backing track. I've been practicing the guitar for about almost 6 months now. My fingers no longer hurt like they used to! #achievementunlocked!
In the mean time, anyone song suggestions?

4. Write a song (why does my goals have to always be music related?)

5. Repaint/refurnish my room.
I room is in a serious need for a makeover. I think now's about time, especially with Kelly having her Holidays now! Problems now is the theme. Just cooling pastel colours or Princess/barbie pink room? (LOL IM SERIOUS.)

So yeah, short term goals. Can be done.

Awkwardly ends the post with a photo of a bunny ..

Okay bye.

My patience is running dry.
Time is running out dear sir.

Day Four: A habit you with you didn't have

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF PROCRASTINATION (me) .
seriously i should have started blogging an hour ago but nooo, i decide to play Facebook games first.
But heh you know what they say, better late than never!

Day Four: A habit you wish you didn't have

1) SHAKING LEGS.
As much as i want to, i cannot stop shaking my legs whenever im sitting down. (in fact, as im writing this blog post i am still shaking my legs!) It's a really bad habit I have ever since i was little, must have gotten it from my dad. I have been told it's not lady-like & you are bound to 'drop money' out from your pockets. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.

2) SPEAKING SINGLISH.
Terrible terrible habit. Having been in a neighborhood school my entire life, I just had to speak in Singlish otherwise i would be made fun of or laughed at. I have been told that my way of speaking has changed significantly over the years. But mehh, im in singapore. Who cares right? (hahahaha, me .___. )

These are the two current habits that really bother me for now /:
MOVING ON.
-

Today i met Serene for lunch, studied, went for POA class. (weeee so exciting ~ )
Class was alright, it's getting tougher as each lesson comes along but it's okay, i think i can still manage POA. SCIENCE on the other hand ... can i just fail it? ugh.

I also found out earlier on that I AM IN THE SEMI-FINALS FOR THE SINGING COMPETITION!
More details to come soon!
-

I have decided to make mini projects for myself, I'll post something about it separately & perhaps you could do em' with me! More information will be given on the next post (:

& now, painting time. I seem to have this want to paint & paint & paint. sigh, i wish i was like this last year.

I honestly wonder if i mean anything to you in the first place.

DAY1 - A recent photo of you & 15 interesting facts about yourself

Since I've no idea what to blog about these days i figured doing the 30 day challenge would be a good way to get the blogging groove going. So, LEGGO.

DAY UNO - A recent photo of you & 15 interesting facts about yourself:
(how timely since i have not done a proper introduction about myself here)

( Yep, that's me.)

Fact #1: I am Chinese-Filipino-Spanish

Yep, Pretty "Rojak" if i do say to myself. Sadly i can't speak either of my dialects (teochew & Cebuano). English is mainly used at home. Funny enough my parents seldom watch English shows (well they do, just not as often as Filipino & Chinese ones.) I can roughly understand both dialects tho, enough for me to tell if they are saying embarrassing things about me to their friends heh. :/

Fact #2: I am a lefty (is that considered interesting? oh well)

Im the only lefty in my ENTIRE family. I just don't get how this came about. But hey, that makes me unique doesn't it?

Fact #3: My chinese name 沈俪萍 literally means 'parallel duckweed' /:

Fact #4: I LOVE the BACKYARDIGANS.

I needed my daily dose of it before going to school. it used to play around 6:30am on nickelodeon. (& yes, i am a secondary school student, don't judge.)

Fact #5: I have OCD (at least i think i have) .

Things have to go a certain way for me & any sudden changes could cause me to go emotionally unstable.

Fact #6: One of my biggest dreams is to perform on BROADWAY.

im talking WICKED, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, LES MISERABLES. I guess you could say I am kinda like Rachel Berry from glee? I hope to study theater in the near future.

Fact #7: I love making people laugh.
Honestly if there's nothing i can do in life i should end up being a comedian.

Fact #8: I used to be one of those GAMERS.
Diablo 1&2, Half life ... yeah im a gaming geek like that. I kinda stopped but might resume AFTER O levels!

Fact #9: Shopping with me could be either a really good or bad thing.
I never buy stuff (other than food) at it's original price. i WILL wait for sales or discounts of some sort. I may very well be the next budget barbie (LOL).

Fact #10: I LOVE music. Doubt i can ever live without it.
I've recently started making youtube videos again back in December 2011 (which honestly i wouldn't do so if it weren't for Gerald. (who i met at work, awesome & talented guy. ) Currently Im self-learning how to play the guitar. Ugh, long way to go.

Fact #11: I never had a boyfriend. (Isn't that surprising HAHAHAHAHA.)

Fact #12: I used to do Chinese dance but stopped because i hate being made fun of because of my size. I am still flexible tho, just not as much as i was before.

Fact #13: The first ( & probably weirdest ) reason why my favourite colour is pink is because pink ranger in mighty morphen(?) power rangers is KIMBERLY!

Fact #14: I have read 3 out of 4 books from the twilight series (sucks to be a hopeless romantic) & WILL finish all 3 books from The Hunger Games, Im already done with the first one! Funny enough i can't get myself to read the harry potter series. I'll just stick to the movies i guess.

Fact #15: I really should be sleeping now, it's 4:20AM. I can hear my bed calling my name ...

Okay, done here. HOPEFULLY, i'll get to watch THG later!
Goodnight, & may the odds be ever in your favor!
(seriously this quote is getting annoying, it's way too over used.)

I guess i kinda miss you.
