Caught up with first-3-months buddies with a movie and lunch. I wasn’t really keen on watching Initial D, but I guess it’s a give-and-take situation so just let it be. It didn’t turn out that bad, apart from the ambiguous ending and smoking scenes. I absolutely hate guys who smoke, let alone girls. Had lunch at Pizza Hut and spoke loads of crap (asides the sarcastic remarks).
Thanks to Steph, Fleur, Von, Hailin, Rach, ShueJun, Amanda, YiHao, BaiChiYuan, JinHan for turning up. You all made my day.

Dave for SKII?
OMG this is definitely NOT happening. Dave has been selected by SKII as their new spokesMAN. How about that. Well I guess that guy sure needs to maintain good skin because he's already 36 and who knows, he might be sprouting blackheads and zits as we speak. Just hope people don't start branding him with the metrosexual tag. Hello?! Who can resist an offer to keep your skin in tip-top condition for nothing at all? So I guess it isn't that bad after all. Cool down.
Heartache = heart problem?
I knew that I had to blog the moment I received this dull, dark throbbing pain in my chest last night. This, people, is what you call a heartache. I don¡¦t have heart problems, high blood pressure whatsoever, so don¡¦t dismiss me at this point. Don¡¦t tell me, you¡¦ve never experienced such a feeling? For me, it happens whenever I miss someone or think of something really hear-wrenching, and trust me, I hate this feeling.

My boyfriend is schoolwork
Been busying myself with loads of tests this week, so I haven’t got time to post up here really sorry. Life’s becoming hectic the moment everything started to slow down, and I’m going back onto my roller coaster ride in a moment. Haven’t got much time to meet up with a lot of people I love, I apologise for that. School work’s becoming sort of an invisible boyfriend tying me down and dominating my life like a control freak. Thanks, I appreciate that.

Never Gone - Album Review
Overall, the album was a very dramatic change in the style of the Boys’ music, probably because they thought that the old style of music would never work in this era. Come on, the fans loved you Boys like you used to be.Incomplete- Very drama, with plenty of angsty piano and drums. But it’s very catchy, and easy to pick up. Heard that the Boys put in a lot of effort into the vid of the song.
Just Want You To Know- Ordinary, and the best part of it was that it didn’t sound like a BSB song AT ALL.
Crawling Back To You- Song for the despos. Lyrics go like this I’m banging on the old front door, my pride’s spilled on the floor my hands and knees are bruised, and now I’m crawling back to you… Sounds the same as Just Want You To Know.
Weird World-Love this song, sounds very big band, and perfect for gatherings, for parties.
I Still…- The intro music almost made me think I switched on Linkin Park by mistake. Brian injected some really good emotions into this song, guess I missed his voice. Sounds very Hoobastank.
Poster Girl- Catchy, up-tempo song. She says nothing’s forever in this crazy world… Perfect song for AJ’s vocals. But the nah, nah, nah part was a little spastic.
Lose It All- The acoustics worked in this song, along with Nicky’s vocals. Voice harmony a little off with AJ’s raspy voice.
Climbing The Walls- My favourite song of the album. Very impactful, thanks to Brian. Why is it always Brian? Loved the guitars.
My Beautiful Woman- The title is more than just cliché, it sounds totally boring. Nick worked this song, though, with the electric guitars which covered the flaws.
Safest Place To Hide- Finally, a peaceful ballad, and it’s Brian’s vocals again. I finally hear lovely D for vocals, after having him sing in the background for the past few tracks.
Siberia- Who the hell in the world would sing about a country, I thought, but the Boys proved me wrong. The drums were totally wrong in all the places, but I finally hear Kev.
Never Gone- Sounds a little like Time from the previous album, but with more percussion. This was one of the few songs which came in the right place, which is at the album. Lovely track, and the world should hear it.

Give humanity a chance
I knew that going to school for GP today wasn't a mistake at all. Our lovely GP tutor (love ya!) showed 2 movies on world events, one is Fahrenheit 9/11 while the other is Hotel Rwanda. I would personally recommend the latter, despite all the violent and gory scenes, because it shows humanitarian aid at its worst, when all ties are broken off, with no foreign intervention, no empathy, no nothing.
Bought the Boys' Never Gone album. Will be doing a review most probably by tomorrow, because I'm currently too busy telling the world that the Boys are genuinely back. Give quality music a chance, buy their album.
Someone spotted Dave at Velvet Underground last weekend. Hey Dave if you ever happen to drop by this little sunny island of ours, at least call EMI up and tell them you're here, so we don't have to keep wondering if Dave's got some body-double here.

BSB's back
My Boys have finally released their 5th studio album after 5 years. Missed you all, and good luck for the world tour do come to Singapore. And to everyone out there, you should go get Never Gone today at any leading CD stores (man I sound like a retard) because the Boys are still going strong, not like some dumb magazine which mentioned that they should go hang up their towels and call it a day.. I think the ones hanging up their towels should be those magazines who are trying too hard. Bunch of losers.

Missed calls, unread messages
I’m down to the last 2 weeks of my holidays, but I’m not complaining at all. This holiday was fulfilling right from the start, although I did catch up on my slacking. All I need to do now is to start doing revision for whatever I’ve missed out from lectures and tutorials and I should be fine. I’m taking this break just as Dave is chilling out in L.A, and he’s most likely to be back in action by the time I start gearing up for school.
YES 93.3fm was picking out people in the Asian music industry who have significantly made a name for themselves in the sense that their music actually dived deeper into the society and contributed to goodwill. Dave was one of them, highlighted for Black Tangerine, the song in which he made a stand about the society. Didn’t know that he had so many song-writing credits, even before he was in the industry as an artist. Wished that they’d highlighted more songs produced by him.
My handphone strap, is not working. Its purpose was to cling tightly onto me, but I guess it should retire soon. On Saturday, I missed 8 calls and 2 messages, while on Sunday, it was 3 messages. Something’s got to be done.

Don't lock me up, I need to fly
Took some time off from the hustle and bustle and paid Malaysia a visit. The place still amazes me with its ability to look so sub-urban when it’s actually an important pulse of this area, exploding with so much life in the centre. The food’s definitely good for us, who have tasted too much local fare and our taste buds yearned for some quality fuel. Shopping’s another draw point, because there’s simply too much stuff to buy and look at there. I got myself some ear rings and a Von Dutch trucker at irresistible prices from JUSCO.
As I’ve promised Lynn the other day, I went in search of David Tao merchandise for the committee members as gifts, but I returned disappointed and empty-handed. Since I was collecting all David’s albums, I popped into 2 of the only CD shops I could find to check out on David’s older CDs. One has some of his earlier ones, but the prices are just beyond belief. The other shop only sells pirated stuff, and that would be the last thing on Earth I would buy. So it’s a no-show there. Sad.
Culture shock did catch me at the pet shop, where I spotted not just cats, rodents and fishes, there were even HEDGEHOGS, PYTHONS, SQUIRRELS and a BABY MONKEY. I mean, was it even legal to sell these as PETS? Firstly it’s cruel, secondly the animals don’t belong there. Not at the shop, not at home. Please, if anyone ever hears my plea, MY plea, please remove those animals, and remove them to where they belong. No one likes to live in a cage.

I can fall in love with u people all over again
Today’s catch-up day for the few of us. Really missed you all lots! As usual, we went to K-Box for lunch. This time, I had a wider selection of songs, given the fact that I’ve new-found interest in David’s songs. I even managed to get Jane to sing after me after the session. And as tai-tais, what more can we do except play mahjong? I was on the usual losing streak, and HY and Liyan were as usual, dominating the game. Whatever the outcome was, it was our friendship that has once again linked each of us up with an additional chain. This relationship is beautiful.

Leave me or kiss me goodbye forever
I;ve been trying too hard to please people all my life. I've had enough. It's time people start to suck up to me. I hate being the follower, nor do i like being follwed. Just leave me alone, you sick motherf*****s...

PMS + 2 ****ing people = a ****ing day
Wanna say a huge sorry to Kian Ming, I can’t pop by to celebrate your birthday for you. I’m basically feeling like I’m hung upside down for an entire day and my head is blowing. Fleur just had to rub it in. I’m not blaming her, but I was already feeling rather groggy when I met her yesterday, and when the virus struck me today I just couldn’t keep my eyes open in the morning. So I kindly informed her via sms that I would not be able to make it, she was like ‘huh…Pls come can. U so last minute den say u don wan to come. E card is wit u leh plus xx needs to sign it today. Maybe jus a while return b4 5pm’ and some other trashier stuff. Hello? Where’s the ‘take care I understand’ and ‘get well soon’? Instead of receiving some much-needed consolation between my bouts of headaches, she whipped me with those harsh words. Fine. So I pleaded with my parents, and they said that the furthest I could go was the MRT nearest to my home, so I asked her if I could pass her the card there. She wanted me to go to Bukit Batok MRT station instead, which requires me to not just drag myself to the MRT station, then change a train. How nice. My great friend, I love you so much. And NX just had to rub it in. I’ve already prepared to sacrifice some revision time just to meet up with her and company, but she doesn’t understand it, and was complaining that ‘You don’t know how to manage your time’ and ‘It’s not my problem [when that’s my lessons ALONE]’…You know what? Everyone in the world should go **** a donkey and tell me how it feels like, and I’ll tell you if I felt the same.
