ahh my dad finally brought home the camera driver cd as well as the cable. woot now i can upload my photos which i took as long as last dec haha. anyway looking forward to going jurong point tomorrow for a second attempt to take a photo with Gayle. sadly they didnt mingle after the piano show sigh. oh well.
guess i havent anything much more to say except..
GAYLE STILL ROCKS
~ta
didnt get to post yesterday becos i was really friggin tired after coming home. but well, better late than never.
after camp yesterday, went with alvin to mediacorp broadcast centre at caldecott to catch the Singapore Idol Wildcard show LIVE. woot. still cant believe i managed to win the tickets in the contest haha. went there rather early and noticed that for some reason, the main composition of the audience body seems to be hot lookers. ok, slowly now h-o-t l-o-o-k-e-r-s not lots hookers. so anyway it was really an experience catching it live. but unfortunately i was seated rather far away from the Gayle supporters. i tried my hardest to cheer at the correct times without drawing too much unwanted attention to myself haha. was pretty ecstatic just to be there really. the only sad thing is that i was unable to take a photo with Gayle again. ARGH. in order to prevent me from living the rest of my life plunged in misery i'll hafta go to jurong point this saturday haha.
and watched the result show today. AND YAY GAYLE GOT IN! but it was via the judges' choice though, which i feel is valued less highly than a people's choice vote. hmm that also means my vote didnt make any difference alsjdakljdal. oh well, point is she's in! woo. okok must try to win tickets again.
GAYLE FOR THE WIN
yes yes yes yes yes. gonna watch the wildcard show at caldecott tmr. woot cant wait. photo photo photo!
wish me luck!
ok back in singapore now after a heck of a fun time in KL with alvin, jon and edward.
started off with thursday night, when alvin and i went over to edward's place to stay over so the next morning can take cab heh. anyways we watched the Czech v Italy game at some kopitiam before going back to catch abit of shut eye.
next morning, woke up and headed over to a nearby hawker centre for some light breakfast, before taking cab to golden mile, where jon met up with us. for the next couple of hours, we were on the bus heading towards KL. after what seemed like an eternity, we arrived at The Federal, the hotel where we were about to spend the next 2 nights. however, due to some cockup with the reservations, we had to wait until 4 to get our connecting rooms. seeing as it was about 1 at that time, we figured it would prob be a better idea to just dump the bags with the bell service and head over to Mid Valley to do a little preliminary shopping haha. ate hong kong cuisine at Kim Gary there, before spending like the next couple of hours wearing ourselves out exploring the entire Mid Valley Complex. dang that's like saying u wanna explore the whole of Suntec at one go. as for dinner, we joined up with jon's friend, Felicia as well as 2 of her friends at this beef noodle place. it was pretty good actually, except i cant figure why my order came with mixed parts when i ordered brisket. shrug oh well. so after dinner, followed immediately (i know, sounds insane) by supper, it was kinda late, so we just trooped back to the hotel to watch football.
waking up to our only full day in KL, we wasted no time in heading for Berjaya Times Square. i was extremely hesitant (read: scared) to ride on the rollercoaster, whose tracks twisted and turned in a way i wouldnt have thought physically possible. well i did ride on it in the end but it was a little anti-climatic because the starting part was the sss-sccc-scariest for me. i mean ok, tight turns and loop-the-loops are expected, but the bugger corkscrewed around so i was surprised. well needless to say, since im blogging, i survived the ride. the bumper cards thingy was fun as well. now that's one ride that never gets boring. felt rather nauseous after one of those spinning rides so decided to take it easy after that. we finished jalan-ing at Times Square and then headed to Starbucks to chill out for awhile. we then headed over to the Chinatown in search of bargains. it was fairly crowded, but at the least i managed to get a printed T and a Japan jersey for myself and a Korea jersey for my dad. after that, we went back to the hotel to get ready to check out the local clubbing scene. to be honest it was a real letdown. i mean the KL zouk was playing trance, which basically sounds really terrible to me. we left before the closing time and went for a spot of supper before going back.
in our last (half)day in KL, we checked out the tri-connecting shopping centres of BB Plaza, Sungei Wang and Lot 10. got something for my mum there. then pretty much time flew as we tried to check out as much as possible before getting back on the singapore bound bus. so that pretty much sums up the trip in general. ok gonna watch the england match now. perhaps i'll add some other specific details if i can remb.
went to golden mile again to settle the rest of the payment. went with jon only this time since alvin was doing guard duty and edward couldnt make it. went back to the Enjoy (or whatever the travel agency's name was) to pay the other 50%. haha we were wondering if michelle, the girl who helped us out the previous time, would be there again. and she sure was. sia la, she looked even hotter than the previous time, today wearing only a sports jacket and a mini-skirt. mm how's that for non-price competition? whoa, sio ah! so anyway apart from her, there was also this other cute looking girl at the corner agency. then jon conveniently pretended to look at brochures while checking her out haha.
with those two images fresh in my mind when i was using my phone and saw the gayle wallpaper i was like "gayle who?". haha, almost only lar. still #1 Gayle supporter as my msn nick says.
sigh prob slightly depressed these few days. so self-control also abit unstable. usually am able to be fairly thrifty haha. but in the span on this weekend, dad bought me a Spain jersey whee. Viva La Espana! and mom was renewing her phone contract so conveniently got her to get me the W810 Sony Ericsson haha. finally have a camera phone again. fed up after that missed opportunity on wednesday haha. woot woot, everyday closer and closer to Friday the not 13th but 23rd!
habla espanol? si! que hora es? cojones!
ok thats all the spanish i know/ heard of before.
if this isnt apt i dunno what is.
-------------------------------------------
It's turning out just another day
I took a shower and I went on my way
I stopped there as usual
had a coffee and pie
when i turned to leave
i couldn't believe my eyes
standing there i didn't know what to say
without one touch
we stood there face to face
Chorus
(And) i was dying indside to hold you
i couldn't believe what i felt for you
dying inside i was dying inside
but i couldn't bring myself to touch you
you said hello then u asked my name
i didn't know if i should go all the way
inside i felt my life have really changed
i knew that it would never be the same
standing there i didn't know what to say
first time looked away when i whispered your name
Chorus 2x
one hello changed my life
i didn't believe in love at first sight
but you've shown me what is life
and I now i know my love (i know it's coming right)
Chorus (fade)
been feeling really restless, listless and probably any other adjective ending with -less, this whole weekend. well ok so it's only saturday. but for once i wish this weekend would fly. no im not mental, nor do i have a fever. rather, i have this unusual desire because with each passing day, it gets closer to next friday when we're going to KL woooo.
anyways, in a funk. again. happened a couple times during jc as well. and each time, the causes were pretty similar. albeit from different sources. hmm going by that logic, that would mean.... nah that cant be. there's a line between fantasy and reality isnt there. yet recent happenstance has blurred the line.
confused and bothered.
ok so today's mambo thingy was kinda disastrous. but then not like sucky disastrous, was more like funny disastrous. well ok i mean everything started nicely enough. alvin, edward and derren went in pretty early and were able to get a free table ie. standing space. jon also arrived before me, whereas paul came later. was pleasantly surprised to see that joel came as well. woot funky crowd. as usual they play the suckier songs at the start so pretty much the only song i learnt from paul was Dancing Queen. remember bits and pieces of others as well but dunno the titles. so anyways perhaps having a table was a double edged sword, cos they were ordering drinks like no tmr. in the end by like 1.30 alvin and derren were freaking stone drunk and sitting on the floor pseudo-meditating. was pretty hilarious. so duh we couldnt just leave them there like that so by abt 2am or so we figured we'd better try to get them home before they KO on the spot. we had to pretty much haul their lifeless bodies out onto the kerb. so yeah didnt get to enjoy the better songs played towards the end but no biggie. theres always a next time. firstly, met adel outside. didnt see her at first since i was helping to tend to the "wounded". she was just chilling outside for awhile, then she asked me what happened to derren haha. on hindsight, to others, it did look like the 2 of them were unconscious or something, but anyway just explained that they drank too much basically. now that i think abt it, i shouldve given her my 2 free drink coupons since i totally forgot to redeem them, grr thats kinda dumb of me. chatted with her for awhile then she went back in shortly after. so apart from adel, i think i also saw Proj Superstar semifinalist Sin Huey. or at least, im 90% sure the person looked like her la. she was like my fave contestant so i was slightly thrilled. well ok granted i didnt even watch a single complete episode of Proj SS but still entitled to support right?! BUT! BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT! the absolute best part. is that. i saw Gayle Nerva there. she was like walking out and saw alvin lying flat on his back on the pavement haha. as she was walking towards us i was confirming if my eyes were deceiving me. then she like asked jon something abt alvin (prob why he was flat on his back etc). and the whole time i was just there wide-eyed and open-mouthed that i was actually a mere 1m away from her and in real life! think she was abit drunk or something. but whatever, i wasnt thinking too clearly myself. and i say that because i freaking didnt even take a photo with her la. oh man what was i thinking. i mean ok in my defence i dont have a camera phone. but still i pretty much missed a (in my opinion) once in a lifetime opportunity. well i must confess that i did think of taking a photo, but how do u go up to someone and say something like "im such a great fan!" in a non-cheesy way?
yeah that's right, you cant! doh. argh argh argh feel like kicking myself. still, just the mere experience was great. freaking ecstatic. shame she didnt make it into the next round though. confident she'll ace the wildcard show! shucks man hope can run into her again some other time. maybe should go back next week haha.
on monday night, went with jon, edward, alvin and zhikai to book the tickets for the trip. daniel tagged along as well. should be a blast. i mean it'll pretty much be the first time im going out of singapore without supervision haha. the last time i went away without parents was during sec3 i believe. going to chiangmai and kuantan and all that. damn those fun memories are gonna stay with me for a looooong while more yet. for me i guess i dont remember people so much for who they are? rather more for what theyve gone through with me. oops went off topic. so anyways we went to eat at some building beside golden mile, the food kinda sucked compared to beach road anyways. following which we recce'd the whole row of travel agents to find a good deal haha. after we booked we went to have dessert at beach rd. weren't gonna order drinks but this little kid from the malay drinks stall came over and started rattling off what was for sale. awww, emotional blackmail! sheesh, and u'd think girls would be more likely to succumb to this haha. so yeah ended up with a big ass cup of iced milo which i couldnt finish doh. basically we sat there and chatted for quite awhile. if the kinda company is anything to go by, the trip is gonna be kickass already. cant wait.
on a side note, thinking abt frens that i havent seen in awhile again.. sigh.
