Dear John official trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0fq5dd0C60


I really really want to watch this.I've already read the book and it's the only Nicholas Sparks book that I actually like.I didn't think The Notebook and A Walk to Remember were all that great but Dear John was really good and touching.And then of course there's Channing Tatum who's playing the lead role of John.I think though a huge part of the reason I want to watch the movie so badly is because I'm in need of a good romance movie to make up for the lack of it in my life.

The Killers are coming and I want to go!The best part?It's a day before my eighteenth birthday.

A conversation with Charlton,Kai Liang and Denise,discussing possible answers to a question asked during my OGL interview : If you could be a fruit,what would you be and why?

-I'd be a passionfruit because I'm full of passion

-I want to be a starfruit because I'm a star

-I want to be an apple so I can be the apple of your eye

-I want to be a lemon to add zest to your life

-Watermelon? Uh..........

1. I had frozen yogurt from Frolic today and didn't really like it.The one at Berrylite is wayyyy better.
2. I do not want to go to school tomorrow.Why does my life suck why why why.
3. I was cleaning out my closet(cause my dad made me) and found the flower girl dress I wore at my aunt's wedding in 1999,when I was 7.I can still fit into it,only its much shorter now of course.
4. My class is going for the Bodyworlds exhibition this Thursday! I've gone before actually and it was really really cool.
5. I got to watch 27 Dresses on TV yesterday cause it happened to be showing.I love love love the movie and like every silly dreamer of a girl,I imagined what MY wedding would be like.Groom is yet-to-be-decided of course but I'd love my ideal wedding to be at a beach,sorta like Katherine Heigl's in the movie.Now obviously this can't happen in Singapore cause we all know how absolutely delightful the conditions of the beaches here are.

Because that's what best friends are for.

I LOVE YOU COS YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO'D DO THIS WITH ME!

I woke up with a bad cough yesterday which turned into a sore throat which turned into a fever of 38.1 degrees.My whole body ached,my throat was sore and I felt utterly miserable.I couldn't even skip school today because it's OP rehearsal and so,with my throbbing headache that nearly killed me,I made myself go to school.I was so loopy,when I ran to catch the bus in the morning,I couldn't even run in a straight line.I felt better later on cause of the Panadol I took.Then on the way home,I think the effects of the Panadol were wearing off and I started becoming spacey and loopy again,I just stared straight ahead,zombie-like.I came back home to sleep and I didn't get to meet up with the besties in the end cause I was still feeling out of it.So I didn't get my Toffee Nut Frappe,and that is the worst part of it all.

I heard this two nights ago on the Muttons to Midnight show :

Muttons' tips to scare your friends on Halloween : "Hi I'm Ris Low,can I borrow your credit card?"

I laughed out real hard at that.Don't even get me started on Ris Low,that's another story for another day.

Starbucks' seasonal drinks are out!Toffee Nut Frappe,finally.

1. My muscles ache like crazy from yesterday's training,but it's a good kinda ache
2. The weather today has been lovely,perfect for curling up under the covers and sleeping.I came home,tired, and promptly fell asleep the minute I threw myself on my bed.
3. I'm looking at beautiful pictures on random people's Tumblrs.I like looking at pictures and I wish I had a camera with me all the time so I can snap a picture of anything that catches my fancy
4. I cannot decide if I want to watch Elizabethtown or Ocean's Eleven tonight
5. Neil Gaiman is coming to Singapore this weekend for the Singapore Writer's Festival and I want to catch one of his talks but I don't know anyone who wants to come with. www.facebook.com/event.php
6. I want to sit down and eat with a group of friends for hours and talk and laugh and talk and talk and eat until we're so full we want to die but we're happy cause it was fun
7. I'm talking to Zaff online and I realise I don't know exactly where Dubai is on the map and neither does she.

tasneem says:

actually i realized i dont know where Dubai is on the map

zaff says:

HAHA

tasneem says:

OMG LOSER

i'm excused

zaff says:

haha i have no effing clue

tasneem says:

CAN YOU STOP SAYING LOR!!!

zaff says:

LORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

8. I'm not going to think about it anymore.


"As we grow older, it becomes difficult to just believe. It’s not that we don’t want to, but too much has happened and we can’t." - Now and Then

From Zaff's Tumblr :

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” — Neil Gaiman

I want a Tumblr myself.

I think I may have eaten way too much today but it was well worth it.The company was goooooood and I finally got the book!

"Hypothetical high-five,niiiiice"

Zaff's right.

It's frustrating when no one understands.You've got all these thoughts in your head and things you want to share and when you do,people just don't get it.They completely miss the point and it's frustrating.I end up getting disappointed because they don't react the way I want them to,don't say the things I want and need to hear.So I shut up and keep it all in.I realize I expect too much from people and so I've stopped having expectations at all,so that way I won't wind up disappointed.I think there will come a point in time where it gets too much in my head and heart and I'll just combust spontaneously.

Somedays,I really want to stop rushing to meet deadlines. And I want to stop feeling burdened by responsibilities. I want to let loose, go to somewhere where no one knows my name, hand in hand with you, and we’ll indulge in the finer things in life - sip some tea, have some muffins and bagels at a streetwalk cafe, people watch, idle around shopping malls, share some ice-cream, laugh at weird fashion, take some polaroids, go for a picnic, lie down on the grass and gaze at the clouds. I want to be carefree.


For assembly today,we had to watch a chinese opera in the Perfomance Theatre.I just about freaked out.I hate chinese operas because they scare the shit out of me.The music,the masks and the heavy make up just freaks me out and gives me the shivers.The entire time the opera was going on,I was blasting my iPod in my ears and covering my face with my jacket.My lovely friends were laughing and poking fun at me,saying I can stomach gore and horror movies but don't have the guts to watch a chinese opera.I don't know why either,but I've been scared of chinese operas since I was a kid.I think I could actually cry if I were made to watch it without covering my ears or face.So yes,go ahead and make fun of me,I don't care.I'll say it loud and proud,I'm a wuss,I'm scared of chinese operas.


"You know I used to spend, everyday, thinking and dreaming about you. And everytime you walked by, I would lose myself. Do you know what that feels like? And you couldn’t possibly know what it feels like to have that one person, not have the same feelings about you. Look, I’m sorry if you miss the way I looked at you. But, I don’t miss the way you never looked at me." - Dawson's Creek

I went over to Georgienne's house today and was poring over her book collection.I was practically salivating and had a hard time deciding which ones I wanted to borrow first.I was so excited when I saw she had the huge volume of Jane Austen's stories.I saw it in MPH once and wanted to buy it but never got around to doing so.But it's a really thick book,seven stories altogether and I'm saving that for the year-end holidays.I admit,I'm a geek.I love books.I love reading.I could spend hours in a bookstore and never get bored.And I read books of all genres except science fiction/fantasy,it's the one genre I think is stupid and ridiculous.(Yeah I'm not a Harry Potter fan,never read any of the books,so sue me).I always have a list of books that I want to read and right now at the top,is Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.Anyone have a copy to lend me?

When I'm older and have my own house,I'm going to have a room for all my books and there'll be a comfy couch by the window so that I can curl up with a good book,especially on rainy days.And this room will be my favourite room in the house.I want something like this.

I am such an idealistic dreamer.

The past week has been a whirlwind of activity.Promos are over and done with.So it's been sleeping,watching movies,sleeping,catching up on TV shows,sleeping and meeting up with old friends.I caught The Ugly Truth and (500) Days of Summer.I loved both movies,alot.The Ugly Truth was all battle-of-the-sexes,wit and humour and (500) Days of Summer was just so pretty and absorbing,I didn't want the movie to end.I'd never been so excited to watch a movie,I was literally bouncing on my seat when the previews were showing.It was like a piece of pie I couldn't wait to sink my teeth in to,I'd been waiting to watch it for so long,ever since I first saw the trailer a month ago.And it didn't disappoint.I thought the movie setting was pretty,the concept was brilliant and the actors were good.Zooey Deschanel with her incredibly huge blue eyes is just so amazing and quirky and Joseph Gordon-Levitt,oh.my.god.I thought I was the only one who noticed that he has a dimple and the corners of his eyes crinkle when he smiles but I was talking to Moo yesterday about the movie and she said the exact same thing,we truly are best friends for a reason.I think most would agree,geeks are in right now.Remember Adam Brody during The O.C period?Then we had Shia Labeouf,now its Joseph Gordon-Levitt.Move over pretty boys,it's the dawn of the geeks.

I was at Moo's house yesterday and she and Hanis taught me The Scientist on the piano.I am so excited but I don't have a piano at home and the old keyboard we have isn't in working condition anymore so I can't practice.Complete and utter bollocks.

It started out with the cockroach.

I was bathing this morning and I saw it dead on the floor.I knew it wasn't a good sign,that it was the start of what was probably going to be a bad day.And I was right.I forgot to bring my EZ-link card so I had to pay for the train and bus fares with cash.While I was bemoaning this fact to Esabelle and Georgienne,it completely slipped my mind that I needed an identity card for verification for today's exam,until Georgienne reminded me.Then I went into panic mode because I didn't even have my IC with me,I think I lost it.Fortunately I wasn't kicked out or barred,so it didn't matter.Then came the lousy Chemistry exam paper which was so ridiculous,I was laughing to myself.After,I went home and reached my doorstep when I realized nobody was at home and I didn't have my keys with me.I had to wait for my mum to come back which thank god didn't take too long.Just when I thought the day couldn't get any worse,an earthquake happens in Indonesia and so we feel tremors here.I was sitting with my legs crossed on the chair when it suddenly started rocking back and forth slighly.I thought it was me somehow,but then it stopped and I dismissed it.Then it happened again and I honestly thought I'd lost it and was going crazy.I put my feet on the floor and sat still but it happened again and I realized they were tremors.I know because I felt one last year.I always thought it'd be cool to feel one but it really isn't.I feel queasy now,with a headache and my stomach feels funny,HOURS after the tremors happened.Georgienne felt them too but she's fine,so it's me.Maybe I really am losing it.

There's only half an hour left to the day thank god.It can't get any worse in 30 minutes right?Right.


We talk like we know what’s going on, but we don’t. We don’t know anything. We’re young and we’re gonna screw up a lot. We’re gonna keep changing our minds, and sometimes our hearts. And through it all, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness.

Sometimes you listen to a particular song and you like it,it becomes one of your favourites.Then you forget about it or it gets pushed to the back of your mind because then you listen to other songs.Then one fine day that same song comes on in your iPod and you fall in love with it all over again.So you put it on loop and listen to it over and over,because it's that good.

I can't embed the video because universalmusicgroup friggin disabled it for every music video.

When promos are over,I'm making Jia Min teach me to play Coldplay's The Scientist on the piano.




What messes us up the most is that we all have this perfect picture in our minds of how things should be.

Because this is too cute not to share.

"People say what’s the point in liking someone who doesn’t like you back, and they are right, there is no point. But you can’t help who you like. It’s not up to you. Your heart just kinda decides for you. And there’s no turning back once your heart makes up it’s mind."

From runawaytrain.tumblr.com/

Elenna showed me a quote the other day and I really liked it so I asked where she got it from and she showed me that website.I personally love it because somehow,the quotes seem to just nail it.

"I’m mad at myself, not you. I’m mad for making you a huge part of my life, wasting my time on you, depending on you, thinking about you, wishing for you, dreaming of you, changing for you, and most of all, I’m mad at myself for not hating you when I know that I should."

Awhile back,my sister asked me about euthanasia (for those of you who don't know what this means, click here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia#Euthanasia_and_religion ) because of a project she needed to work on.And so we got to discussing about the issue.I remember in Primary 6,my teacher started up a debate about this same issue,for or against euthanasia.My stand remains the same as it did 5 years ago : I'm pro-euthanasia.Now I know not everyone would agree with me,some might get downright disgusted even but everyone's entitled to his or her own opinion and this is mine.I don't expect anyone to agree with me or tell me that I'm right but I don't expect anyone to tell me that I'm wrong either.My reasoning is simple,I would just like to have the option of choosing when I get to die and not have someone else make that decision for me.If say,I get into an accident and I'm lying comatose on a hospital bed with no chance of me ever waking up,I'd rather get taken off life support and die.What's the point of holding on when there's nothing to hold on to or live for?If we're talking practically,I'd be draining my family financially and if we're talking emotionally,I'd be draining my family and friends emotion-wise.If we're talking morals and ethics,my decision would be severely frowned upon because really,technically,by getting my family/friends to take me off life support,I'd be making someone kill me.But it all comes down to this,in my opinion actually,if I were in constant pain every waking minute of every waking day and there's no chance of me getting better,I'd like to know that I have the option of ending it and not having to go through it any longer.Whether I have the guts to go through with euthanasia or not is a different story of course,I just want to know that I have that option.That should I choose to end my life instead of prolonging my suffering,I can do so and my decision would be respected,it might not be understood but it would be respected.Of course if the situation was different,if it weren't me but someone I love who lay suffering on a hospital bed,I wouldn't want to let go of him/her.But it would be selfish of me to make him/her stay alive just so I wouldn't have to lose a loved one.As much as I'd hate it and as difficult as it would be to let go,I'd respect his/her decision to die because truth be told,I wouldn't want him/her to be in constant pain either.The debate on euthanasia is ongoing and is hardly going to be resolved as long as people have different stands about it.It's morally and in some cases,religiously wrong some would say.Others would say it's a matter of personal rights.Whatever the case,my stand is clear : I support euthanasia.Just as I have the right to live,I'd like to have the right to die.That being said,that's all I want to say on this subject.

On a lighter,less morbid note,read this : tenderlointales.tumblr.com/post/172831139/this-is-fucking-it-you-are-in-love-with-me.
Strong words but I like the way it's put.Some people know just exactly what to say and how to say it.Somehow,they're able to find the right words to say what they want to.I wish I had that ability.

I have a love-hate relationship with the rain.Sometimes,usually after a long day in school,it gets me so down for some unexplainable reason.I'll feel like everything's crashing down and I'll find fault in every single thing.What I do is just plug into my iPod,the "depressing" playlist on play, and wait for the mood to ride out.Other times,like now,I wouldn't say it makes me ecstatic exactly,but more like tranquil and melancholic.It's times like this I stick my hand out the window to feel the raindrops or open up the windows to smell the rain or just watch it beat against the window.I listen to my iPod still,but mellow songs come on instead.This is the kind of mood that's my favourite and I wish I could stay like this forever.Or run out and dance in the rain,feel it wash over you.What was that Hilary Duff song - Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams,let it wash away my sanity. Wash away my sanity is right.Scream,dance,shout,jump and laugh in the rain without a thought to the world.Maybe next time.
