let yourself dream.

ever get that feeling when your heart just beats faster and you feel your hands tingling and you just can't think of anything but doing that one thing you feel is just what you've been put on earth to do?
lately it's like whenever i watch a live video of a performance, i'm just itching to do something like that. i want to play in front of random people that i don't know, i want to tell my stories in the form of lyrics. i want to hold my guitar in my hands every day of my life.
i want to play music for a living, seriously.

but i could never make it. i'm not talented enough, i'm not beautiful enough. it's really such a shame.

tacks for snacks.

happy birthday ZHENG WEI my little cousin :D

oh oh was it god who chokes in these situations?
nope, i'm pretty sure it's me who chokes.

in latest news, i'm getting homework done! :D which is kinda amazingly awesome.
and i love my history team ttm! too bad we're not going out again on thursday ): oh well, we'll meet up soon enough hopefully!

i need song suggestions for covers on youtube! :D tell me what you would like me to sing. or murder. either one. hahaha :D (most likely murder, kthx.)

zoom zoom zoom.

oh bought a crap load of stuff yesterday :D
all amazing buys!
i heart quality time with my mum too (:

remember how the coffee made us shake ♥

drop the girl.

so here's my sketch of brendon since liyan wanted to see it. i seriously don't think it does brendon's awesomeness any justice but i tried my best, SERIOUSLY. like i took 2 to 3 hours on it. i decided to zoom in one the face. it's from this picture ('cause i just really wanted something to do with his lips!) :

p.s: i know it seriously looks like shizz and stuff and he looks chubby cos' of the angle but he seriously looked like that to me D:
p.p.s: SID! SHIRTS ARE IN :D

i love my friends.

and i thank ann and liyan for making my wednesday-thursday absolutely wonderful :D (even if we did fall asleep at 5:15am)
fingers crossed hoping those embarrassing "hair makeover" photos don't find their way onto facebook(?).

remember how the coffee made us shake ♥

tell me i'm a wreck.

today was really interesting :D i wasn't really myself today. i think it's either not being able to fall asleep or just being perpetually giggly today but, yeah. here's a series of interesting (okay, maybe not that interesting) events that occurred today!

1) got on the bus this morning to head to choir, guy from JC smiled at me. it was weird, and i totally thought that i had something on my face lol. but i smiled back, strangely enough.
2) went out to go guitar shopping with calista, smiled at the salesman who remembered me from last time. it was weird, because i totally don't do shizz like that!
3) headed to maestro guitar with calista, and talked to the sales guy for about 20 mins. talked about guitars and the weather, which was kinda strange considering i was hiding behind my mum the first time i went to get my guitar there. told him to get well soon and bid him farewell.
4) went for dinner at United Square. ran to look at a skunk soft toy in watson's, and i totally blurted out "Ooooh is this a skunk?" to a random lady beside me and started stroking the toy. this made the lady go "Yeah, it is. Cute right?" Then she smiled at me like i was a five-year-old.

LMAO.

p.s: ENJOY YOUR NEW GUITAR CALISTA :D it was such fun helping you pick a guitar.

picture perfect!

How can a love hurt this bad?
How could we lose all that we had?
Why do we follow through?
What keeps us hanging on?
We lived like a storm and let it ride
For all of the times we felt alive
But sometimes love just can’t make you stay
When you’re happy the hard way

i have no idea why but this song really gets to me. (Happy The Hard Way by Every Avenue)

i shall review Every Avenue's new album soon. i really love the songs, and Every Avenue just keeps getting better :D

edit: CHECK MY LINKS. i don't hate you frances -.-

softballs.

friday going out with hannah, isabel and liyan was fun :D then hanging out with ann and liyan at liyan's house with rock band was awesome! thanks for being super fun!
btw, emily lew and kelly tan are stalkers! (just kidding, no seriously.)

yesterday at apec was kinda a blast, but something that was said really upset me.
but i'm over it! and my sis helped me see things through my teacher's eyes for a second.
thank you to the people who made my day great: eveline, frances, gwen, kirsten, jacquelyn, patricia, ruth, liting, farisha, wei li, steph and all the amazing choristers who are awesome :D
btw, gloria arroyo totally ignored me when i said mabuhay to her! D

my ship went down in a sea of sound.

under these colours.

argh my nose has bled like 7 times in the past two days (not that kind, if you guys were thinking otherwise.) i'm so seeing a doctor tomorrow D: i'm starting to feel light-headed, which is really bad. anyway!

i read this post by Mat Devine from Kill Hannah (featuring William Beckett), and i think Mat's advice is super hilarious, and William's is inspiringly insightful. read it? :D http://fuseblog.typepad.com/kill_hannah/2009/11/raccoon-society-ask-mat-round-13.html

anyway, prefects was pretty fun on friday :D i heart the emo i-sit-in-a-shady-corner gang haha. props to kiran for playing the piano incredibly well (to mask my horrible guitar :X), ily!
also, i saw a true example of attw. ty for the relevant example, you're kinda shameless :X
other than a couple of ~awkward moments, everything went rather well. oh yes. except for one thing. (menacing music being played) SOMEONE TOUCHED MY GUITAR WITHOUT MY PERMISSION :O i'm sure they didn't have bad intentions, but it seriously scared me shitless okay. please don't do it ever again. if you hurt my baby in any way, i will hunt you down. -this i swear-
oh oh (sorry for the horrible irrelevance), BUT MDM WAHIDA TOTALLY MADE MY DAY! she was like: "huijun." all of a sudden. and i was so scared i was gonna be scolded or something, then she told me: "you're really very talented. i hope we'll be hearing from you for prefects' investiture." and i was like. ~squeeeeeeeee :D

it's the ups and downs of life that make it special and in a sense wonderful (:

omegalomaniac.

it sucks how bands just disband and go on indefinite hiatus just like that.
listening to more fall out boy (still one of my favourite bands! probably my favourite.) and i feel like they really treat their music like a craft. it's like beautiful art (: but they're on indefinite hiatus and it really frustrates me 'cause panic! at the disco split in half this year too :'(
fob never fails to put me in a good mood :D i heart alpha dog so here it is! (so totally gonna buy believers never die. without a single doubt man.)

welcome to the new de javu.

remember how the coffee made us shake ♥

don't stop believing.

hey 500th post! :D

went to little india for art today, then went to bras basah for art supplies. I HEART THE AEP GIRLS, seriously.

so sorry i fell sick and left prefects' camp early, i really feel horrible for doing so, but i'm happy to know that everyone is probably resting well now. (MEAN CHEM TEACHER BULLIED MY PREFECTS. BOO HER!)

anyway, i just wanted to blog because i honestly learned something today.
earlier today i felt left out and sort of in-apt for a period of time. but then someone reminded me that i mattered. that i could help someone, and make an impact on their lives. so much that when they need help, they immediately come look for me. and it feels amazing.
and then i think back, and i regret being so stupid for wanting to just give up being strong, and just break down. if i can help just one person, then heck, it's worth it.

NOTHING PERSONAL.

i love NOTHING PERSONAL by ATL. it's like the album of the year, please. there's some choice lines, like:
- are you having trouble finding sleep at night, or does your lack of conscience tell you everything's alright?
- you walk around with my heart on your sleeve.
- gotta bite that know-it-all tongue.
- you were fake, i was great - nothing personal.
- that's just typical, you're so cynical.
- i make you come just to watch you leave.
- and a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.
i'm suddenly totally inspired! I HEART ATL TTM TQVM. haha.

i'm so scared for GE run tomorrow. 5km! -screams and runs around-
i hope i can keep up with my class man. -fingers crossed!-

next week is gonna be the most stressful week of my life ZOMG. prefects, choir, art, 'o' level chinese prep, extended curriculum. kill me now kthxbai.

rawr.

i'm kind of amazed how frustrated i am with my school right now :/
i used to think the world of this school.
thank goodness there are great things that happen every now and then to brighten my day :D
i heart the new guitar riff i wrote :D
blah blah blah no one cares.
hahaha. oh well.
oh and sometimes, i realise, when you think people are showing some sense of niceness, they turn around and show you that they are as mean as you imagined they were! but it's different now 'cause you don't really get disappointed anymore. yay.
