Are Flapjacks Evil?

Hey ho! Whoa its been 2 weeks since i last blogged. Sorry people.. :P guess i've been busy too slacking at home.. haha actually i did a lot of things during the past 2 weeks.. espesh shopping! Woowee!!
Okay let's set the events correct chronologically:

9th June 2006

Last day of school. Both a good and a bad thing. On one hand, we get to relax and be free from the burden called homework and responsibilty (as a student) *yay!*. On the other hand, i'm gonna miss the larf-ter and fun shared with my crazy freaky friends. (yea 2 freaks + 1 ass= retards ~yea we rock!)

School ended early coz there was no elective for today. Me and mich went to Far East Plaza to shop for clothes. Then we rushed back to school to watch Bandzout 06/07. It was fun but the vibe was kinda mellow. Shmaybe its coz there was no moshing done.. Loads of great bands played and some singers can really scream.. Like the second last band that played (i have no idea what the name of the band was.. shmaybe coz of the fact that the event was done in the open and the sound system was a bit off. The cute punk-ish host helped move things along tho.. *koff*
haha over all i enjoyed myself and am looking forward for next year's Bandzout.. waa left only one year left in NYP.. damn

11th June 2006

Today is my big sis's, Suriawati, wedding day!! Omg. haha yes i'm getting my own room but enuf about that lets get down to the lovely ceremony. Gosh i soooo love the decorations they made at the void deck. No i'm not being biased just coz it's my sista's wedding. The flowers and deco were so friggin gorgeous. fullstop. Just ask Yana (my cousin). Some secondary school and current poly schoolmates came to celebrate the joyous occasion. I'll post the pics here later on coz now the photobucket site is down.. So watch this space! hehe

Damn busy day it was. I'll like to thank everyone who helped out today including all my aunts and uncles and cousins and neighbours! Thanks for making the event a success. It's been causing my mum sleepless nights planning the wedding and making arrangements.. Yay and let's welcome my new brother-in-law, Zaid Bin Hj Md. Ilyas, into the family *insert trumpet fan fare and appropriate welcoming sound here*.. *oh and some confetti thrown around too* :P i have yet to meet his family members other then his mum, dad and lil bro..
Best of luck living with my sis dude! lol just kidding!

16th June 2006

Went karaoke-ing at Clarke Quay with nursing mates- Fitriah, Yanti, Hidzir, Ilyana, Cik Tina and her 2 daughters. Second time going to karaoke. First time was with Desrie, Ying Xian, Khai Jiun and Chun Shu to K Box at Hougang Plaza. Haha good times. Chun Shu and me sang Linkin Park songs till i had sore throat for 2 weeks.. Lol but then again i'm always prone to sore throats.. and Des and YX have such a talent for singing chinese songs. Espesh Jay Chou and Jolin's songs.. and remember when we tried to sing the BeeGees song? we ended up laughing throughtout the whole song coz the pitch was wayyy too high.. Sigh i miss the good ol times..

Clarke Quay Cash Studio has loads of great English songs. Which is a definite plus since i am so not a Malay song kinda person. haha not to mention Hindustani songs.. i only know parts of the chorus.. lol. Shmaybe i'll go there again with my family or friends. Cheap rates too and u can bring ur own food.. not like K Box--> too little Eng songs, expensive and have to buy a set lunch which i cannot eat coz its not halal. Bleh

After karaoke-ing we sent Ilyana off to work and headed to the east in search for food and coffee (oOo Tea Leaf..). Haha had loads of fun today. Hope we'll do this again sometime..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*foams at the mouth* uh i think i'm having withdrawal symptoms.. 4 more days to school. 4 more days to hours of retardedness fun and crappyness homework unfun.. lol. Cant wait!

Drained Euphoric

yea today i have guitar club practice as per normal at 6.30pm so i have to pass the time doing something.. Thot i'll write something. Have not been blogging regularly but then again i don't blog regularly so yea.. Haha.
In the afternoon we watched Mich perform but i missed her fashion show catwalk thing.. Damn. Heard she did some crazy hair fling. Even the uh uncle that was selling the German ( or is it Dutch? oOps) ice cream commented. Said it was sexy and funny.. Hahax hear that Mich even he agrees you're hott! :p So u have to stop thinking otherwise..

Mood: Euphoric but tired as f***,
- Euphoric coz i just finished all my class tests and my ICA projects. First group to present so was stressed for the first 7 weeks and such but now i'm FREE!! Muahaha.. I can just about scream for joy in the computer lab but well i dun wanna attract attention.. Have already made it 'noisy' by listening to my CD loudly.. Haha.. More abt tt later..

- Tired coz had to stay up to cram for my tests.. Haha. Bad habit/ practice i know but i am a last-minute-study person.. Cant frigging bring myself to study earlier.. Lazy eh

Ear candy: Atreyu- A Death-Grip On Yesterday
yea i love the song Ex's and Oh's from this album. You should check out Right Side Of the Bed by Atreyu too.. Yea i luv the name of the band. They did a good job selecting it. So unique ar. Some other unique band names i like : Alesana. Drop Dead, Gorgeous. Saosin. etc

Bought the CD at Malaysia. Not pirated but a cheaper version. Heh. Also bought other CDs and cassettes from the shop.. CDs costs like RM20 while casettes are RM18. Friggin worth every cent! :p

Some totally random stuff that i have lying around in my cranium:

- In NYP Food Junction. Not sure which stall exactly but maybe its fourth stall from the left, the sign on top of the stall has the word Aiden on it.. Aiden is an emo-gothic band. All of them wear gothic makeup complete with bleeding mascara kinda like Avenged Sevenfold.. But i find that their songs are like loud and fast throughout.. which is totally different from most emo bands. Not bad ar but not really a fave band. Their music video for Die Romantic is not bad tho.. Nice props and atmosphere.. So vampir-ey. Lol. But mcR wins hands down for best vampir-ey video (Vampires Will Never Hurt You).. Fall Out Boy's vampire-related video for A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch is lame tho.. Damn that reminds me it has been awhile since i went music video surfing.. Kinda crave for it now..

- I'm probably not the first one who've seen this but when walking to the Sports Hall the long way (walking along the campus child care center side)-- i noticed they had this poster in the child care center of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. haha and i so luv Silverstein. Its been said that the band chose the author's surname to be their band name coz they love his book so much.. Hmm. Sweet huh but its a goddamn children's book..

Darkened Eyes Break Hearts

Yesterday night while watching Scary Movie 4 at home. Received an sms from Hailwa: "Girl.. Gt watch idol? E paul look like u lah.. Only u darker.. Hee.. He's in nyp sbm.. Freshie" *jaw drops* my first reaction was to scream. i think i shrieked like 6 times before i smsed her back in disbelief.. She said he was already in like in April 2006 but i swear i have never seen him around. Not even a word spoken or gossip passed about him being in NYP. I mean its friggin impossible ar.. 3 months already and NYP is not THAT big a school.. Haha see how it goes. Maybe he is in NYP and maybe not.. hmm yea come to think of it, he is 17- so he has to be in either JC or poly.. and he looks like a business student.. yea one thing's for sure.. he has a nice voice.. and he acts crazy at times, which is kinda endearing :P haha

This is me all dressed up and ready to part-ay! :P
.:darkened eyes break hearts:.

oOo.. Friday night was Jam & Hop 2006. It was fun but it would have been more fun if there were more people who attended the event.. Organisers did an okay job i guess. Ya know what i still kinda preferred last year's Jam&Hop. The songs were better and the vibe was uh lost-lasting. Still felt like dancing hours after the event. Oh and this year they had a live band. Great job! During some songs, particularly Only One by Yellowcard, moshing occured. yea it was cool to watch and in such close proximity too.. Michelle performed 'Buttons', a damn sexy dance' with her Foreign Bodies friends. Great performance there. Too bad the camera ran out of battery.. But i think we still managed to take one group pic at the end of the event. Yea have to wait for Fitriah to send it to me..

They should also let the event drag on longer. It felt as if the event was too short. Haha got one part they played the Numa Numa song.. Like wtf? how the hell do u dance to that one? so they formed a chain when the song was going on.. Last year they had to shoo us away by playing techno songs at the end of the event but this year was kinda abrupt coz they just stopped the music and told us to go home (but in a nice way, mind you).. Lol

Well then i guess we have one more event to look forward to.. Next Friday. Amphitheatre (the white dome-shaped thingy beside our school field). 5pm till late. BandzOut 2006/2007. Hells yea. Last year's BandzOut kicked ass man. Page Avenue won. The lead singer sure screams nice. They played Anthem Of Our Dying Day by Story Of The Year.
Oh and i loved it when the emcee sang (screamed more like) two songs with a malay guy. Shit that was dope. Lol.. Gosh i soo luv screamo. Hmm hope to hear him sing again this coming Friday. Fingers crossed. Hmm i wonder if anyone can carry off any of Underoath's songs? Then i'll be their devoted fan.. Lol.. Spencer's screams are kinda hard to replicate..

And before i go cram for my bio practical (yes, bleh) this coming Wednesday, i wanna suggest one competition that our school could organise..
-Creativity plays a big role.
-Consists more of acting than music skills.
-Should be conducted indoors
- One thing for sure: It is gonna be a helluva lot of fun.

So what's this event you ask? Well first of all i'm sure you guys know what is playing the air guitar is right? if not, i'll let Mr. Gerard Way show you how it's done..

So i think we should have an Air Band Competition! haha it may sound lame but if u have the right attitude and music i'm sure its gonna be a helluva lot fun.. Urm here's a link to show u how the air band competition could be like. The song being played is Mouth Like A Magazine by Showbread. ( yeah!) I'll give u a link instead of putting the video on my blog. It'll only take a while but it's worth watching! Oh and its better if you watched the real Showbread video on my friendster page first before u watch this air band video so u can compare or sumthg.. Heh
