anthony callea - australian idol runner-up.

he'd beat any SI contestant flat. flat like a .. pancake.

in fact his pitch-perfect voice really sent a chill down my spine..

gotta hear him out..

if anyone's interested,
http://www.spug.net/showthread.php?t=56142&page=95&pp=15

one of the post has the links. M.U.S.T dl 'the prayer'.. he got a standing ovation from the judges for that. and some of the audience got moved to tears.

im finally going to buy prom clothes tomorrow, finally..

the whole package's gonna cost a bomb, bomb like anything frm $100 to $300

and the programmes don't sound that enticing either, honestly

hopefully.. it wouldn't be a waste of money. its a matter of a few hundred bucks...

and hopes of an organic chalet .. (or at least an organic overnight stay) have been dashed, many thanks to many factors. (think paranoid parents too eager to protect, etc)

a GIANT praying mantis (or grasshopper, whatever its just bright green) just flew into my house. its currently crawling all over videotapes, irons, speakers. and its too disgusting for me to catch. its the length of half of my palm. downright disgusting. i hate brightly coloured creatures.

go listen to anthony! who knows, he may just be another one of my newfound idols...hehe






by not-so-popular demand ...


hello maia,

hoping u'll c this...

u noe what, i think u and tyrese make the ultimate cutie combo! in my opinion, i think tyrese is one the cutest 3 yr old ive everrr seen! like mum like son
haha! i think im a fan of tyrese too. he's on the wallpaper of my desktop :D
>
jus to ask u, what did u mean when u said in ur farewell speech that ur musical journey definitely hasn't ended? is there smth more to what it seems to only convey? it'd be so gr8 if u are able to say, cut an album or two cos we fans definitely haven't experienced the full power maia's voice! those 4 spectaculars, didn showcase enough of ur talents and it was such an injustice i say. so im really hoping that record companies will look u up!
>
don't ever give up performing cos ur fans (like me) will support u all the way! hope u gain more exposure in future too!
>
P.S. i think i bumped into ur daddy yesterday. i recognzied the face who said "maia hen ai piao liang" in spectaculars 1. =D i was hoping to spot u or ur son in the vicinity but it was in vain hehe
__________________________________________________________________________________

lol.. there u have it, my fan mail to maia two weeks ago.
trust my integrity, i didn't edit anything more than one or two unnecessary words to hide any scandalous details.
to think neh o even speculated smth like, "maia, will u be my galfren"
lol, how wrong u were. see... its as innocent as that..
but i told u it bordered on corniness. heh

anyway, argh. i hate menopausal mums!! (luckily mine is not)
menopausal mums who think that an overnight stay filled with innocent cheap thrills and silly fun equates to a 'loose' and 'wild' night filled with 'temptations'..

sigh, if only people knew what organs are really like..









i've been updating my blog so irregularly nowadays. back in the early days (early as in jan-feb'04 ), i used to be so enthusiastic about blogging, even updating stupid entries like... [ "today ive got nothing to blog abt cos its so boring" ]... :X note the irony, and stupidity involved

i guess ive grown lazier. and i still dislike daily recounts. thus, i increasingly find myself having little to blog about.

one day, i shall embark on an entry-deleting mission. that is to discard all the entries ive updated in the past that i now deem too corny or silly. ive found a couple, and i cringed at them.

30 NOV - DEJAVU GRADUATION NIGHT

hmm..should i feel insecure? hahahaa cos ive gotten zero preparation. yep, absolutely nil. haven't bought clothes, haven't dreamt up accesories, haven't bothered bout evrything gradnite, whatsoever. if i don't feel good about going to such a supposedly glam event totally unprepared, i'd rather absent myself. don't mind forgoing the $50. or who wants my ticket?

there should be a red carpet to spice things up. hahaha. for people to parade their custom made dresses and all. just fr that one night...

gf wearing a tie... i hate ties!! i hate ties!! they soooo choke me. ties NEVER fail to restrict my voice during choir concerts n competitions. and they're SO DAMN uncomfortable. DOWN WITH TIES. by the way, i still don't know how to tie one. should i feel demoralized?

i just made my bro say... "im a neh-o" hahaha. don't brand me as pervertic but i get a kick outta it. it sounds so funny hahahaa

im a neh-o

ive been trying in vain to get an SGI finals tix.

8 days (x2)
TV Mobile (x2)

ok i know that's not alot but it still sums up to a good $2 or so.
irritating.
why don't they sell it? don't they gain commercially if they do so?
indoor stadium is so biggggg
they can earn so much revenueeee frm the tens of thousands of seats...
so why not selll ittttt!!

=(

when sgi officially finishes, i shall count. in how many entries have i mentioned anything singapore idol. if it's anything less than 15, i shall post 50 maia and tyrese pictures!!!!

and anyway 8 days is being very biased.
by publishing an article about how a journalist professes her love fr sylvester.
2 full pages.
u can tell by the tone and words and all that the 8 days girl camp goes gaga over him. don't know about siti rohani though, but i know she gets her material for writing from WWW.SINGAPOREIDOL.NET ... u.n.o.r.i.g.i.n.a.l - boo!

its such a hassle to apply for LEP. i'll hafta personally make a trip down to TJC to submit the form. bah.








NOTE: your eyes are NOT playing tricks on you. the loves and hates sections have NOT been mislabelled.

don't faint yet. me(and the other organs) are jus trying to take on this cute identity fr a week. we're cute right?

oF cUz We KnOW thAt LaHrXXxX. HeEz =Pp nId U sAy mEhx.

and also, we're trying to prove how atypical we are. hence, the loving of hYpOcRitEs, BaCksTaBbErx aNd fLiRtx.

anyway

the day before yesterday was an organic day. went to tropica to swim. if i had ventured into the deeper areas, i might've drowned!! serious. see, owing to the delightful O levels, ive been such a homebody..studying at home the whole day for a month or two.. hence the inflexible limbs and stiff muscles. i think i had a cramp in the waters. actually, i don't know how to classify a cramp. just this lingering pain la. not surprisingly.. i only swam arnd half of the distance the others swam.

HAHA. IM SO FIT. I'LL ROCK THE NS WORLD FOR SURE.

im so hooked onto rct3! had a few technical problems but its all solved, thanks to helpful atari people..



















nice?
no need to answer, that's a rhetorical question
i know its nice.

i know this may sound pathetic, but it's my first computer game in nearly a year. ive been surviving on solely internet the past year. my goood ol' internet connection.

looking back, i feel so no-life

but i shouldn't say that cos people will always achieve new things and attain new heights. at each new stage...of course the older stage will pale in comparison.

so in conclusion, i had a life...?

JAC briefing tomorrow. yay! byebye sec sch, hello JC (i know this is cliche). ive decided to not sink into that "reminiscing-old-days...-and-i-feel-so-emotive-like-....ohhhhh" mood. i wanna look forward to jc life and not dwell on everything ahs. anyway, not being sentimental is just in my nature. till now, i still don't feel much gloominess, having to leave behind everything ive gone through in my 4 ahs years. i used to force emotions outta myself just because its the norm, but now, i shld go be the president of anti-corniness club (abbv. ac²)

but im not coldhearted, however unfeeling i make myself sound like. hahaha

P.S. maiamaiamaia please update your friendster..don't disrupt my collection of maia and tyrese photos!!

lol, she'll DEFINITELY read this. i should've conserved all that typing energy to go exercise.

i know why she hasn't been updating...busy preparing for the finals performance maybe?











i got sick of just yellow sunflowers and empowerment lines like "words can't bring us down" in my blog..

so i decided to give it some life by putting semi naked pics of my fav idols (note: last 7 words aren't meant to be as suggestive as it sounds). and guess what.

stupid symbols (as u can see) appear after every pic

i confess i'm an html idiot...

so any comp pros.. willing to help me out! stupid symbols so unsightly. spoil the beauty of the pics.

today's the BIG day. i shall elaborate no more cos it has been elaborated enough. bored of talking about the freedom-thing again and again

hmm..overall breakdown of gce o levels..

easier than prelims
- physics
- chemistry
- amaths
- higher chinese

on par with prelims
- english
- emaths
- combined humans

more difficult than prelims
- clit

i'm hope for a single digit. it's gonna be four long months waiting fr the results. cambridge markers, u slackers.

can
somebody
explain
to
me
taufik's
appeal?

he's been getting endless compliments. but IMO, i really see nth of that as being really justifiable.
quote frm my msn convo, "his appeal.. beats me as much as how it beats others as to why i find christopher the best male vocalist in si"

there's this freaky shampoo foam smell lingering around the air. source unknown. untracable. freaky.

nx wed is officially my last day in AH before the results. that fast.



maybe i have an affinity with clouds
cos i'm ON CLOUD NINE once again!!!! merely after 2 entries!!

a quick one.

ONE.
PHYSICS PAPER WAS CHICKEN FEET BUFFALO FEET MONGOOSE FEET. never in my whole life have i taken such an EASY physics paper.
i feel cheated cos i had nearly given up on this subject in view of the inhumane nature our ahs physics exam papers have portrayed it to be in the past two years. and it turned out to be THAT simple? lol. im plannin to bank of it. but i shall not be greedy, a distiction will satisfy.

TWO.
AMATHS TWO WAS COOL.
managed to get the killer topic right (34secs)YAY~. checked a few other answers. shouldn't do too bad... hopefully.. but shan't raise my hopes too high cos nobody knows the dark things that happpppenn behhindd the scenes of cambridge.....

THREE
emancipationnnn in... 28 hours? YAY now no mood for any chemistry at all. arg feelin a little complacent due to physics. hmm. shall mug after a nap.

FOUR, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

this.

Hi Zhanting!

Thanks for writing and many more thanks for your
support! Bumped into my dad? Why, was he at the
market or cycling and feeding the stray cats under
the block? Haha but he's got myopia he can't see
and yet he doesn't wear glasses so if you wanna
say hi you gotta go up to his face and do so
haha.... He's friendly guy lah my dad...

Thanks for the compliments! Well Tyrese is cute
as all kids are though sometimes he gets on my
nerves when he whines too much or tries to lay his
hands on forbidden stuff like my fav pillow... haha...
I'm just hoping to bring him up in a more masculine
way.. He hangs out too much with my girlfriends.
Hehe. And he's into make-up and hair spray! Omg!

As for the parting speech I was trying to control my
fury. And I just know I won't give up on singing, and
I know I'll be heard still. Cuz looking at the prev
booted finalists they're all so timid, they just say
thank you and keep quiet. I knew it was me before
hand and I was already mad and some things I
can't reveal. Well hope I answered your queries!
Take care!

Luv
Maia

the advantages of idolizing a singaporean.
would christina aguilera ever write something like that for me???
lollll, and no i didn fabricate the letter,
it's the real maia lee!!!

i shall not post what i sent her because it borders on corniness. *smirks*

i was so overwhelmed with i-dknow-what-emotion when i switched on my comp at 4am..to see this. lol

hehe. i feel great. great enough to give me the momentum to pia chem.

great enough to give me the mood to go photobucket and generate html codes to post these....


























haha crazy le.




my eyes are all blurry after 5 hrs worth of geog.

and this is all i have to say....

5 DAYS

groovin to

let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the jailhouse rock --*
/maia lee, jailhouse rock

it's 8:30am. my body clock is functioning normally, at last. who knows, it may go haywire anytime again

i'm on cloud nine! YAH clouds like the fluffy lil white puffs rollin cross the big blue sky.

Cos i managed to download 37 SI Spectacular and Piano Shows mp3s!!! i've been waitin for ages for these!! FORUMERS RAWK.

* SI audio playing - olinda cho - sway *

mwahahahaaa.. i suppose these 37 mp3s will be on repeat mode for the next whole week

im so anticipatin asian pop spectacular. olinda cho singing a teresa tng number! gf, you have 2 wonderful reasons to pop ur champagne. wouldn't it be wonderful if chrissypoo was still around? his vocals suit a dreamy and surreal fei yu qing number....

*jeremiah was a bullfrog! was a good friend of mine!

lianhe wanbao and xinmin ribao are trashy tabloids material with trashiness on par with HK gossip magazines. everything can't do without first being blown outta proportion. add to that superstitious reporters who link 4D numbers irrelevantly to huang na's case...

0923 strikes 4D.
09 was huang na's misreported age in the early stages of the case
23 is ah hao's current age.
and guess what, 0923 opens!! [09 + 23 = 0923! how uncanny! report full page!]

crap. whoever buys numbers according a misreported age 3 weeks ago..that was quickly corrected anyway?? wldn't it be human nature to buy in the correct age.. -_-..
if it had suddenly dawned upon a struck individual that he should interestingly add 1 to the correct age value (8)... isn't that considered an isolated case. and an isolated case doesn't have news value.

[SI Audio : Daphne Khoo - I Will Survive]

we were all laughing that day at some of the news commonly found at the backpage of these newspapers.

GUANGZHOU MAN PULLS CART WITH STRENGTH OF PENIS
4 METRE LONG CROCODILE FOUND IN EAST JAKARTA
ZHEJIANG FARMER PLANTS 3M LONG BRINJAL


wow?

nevermind, its entertainment anyway.
though it seconds my thoughts of going into journalism haha.

[SI audio : Olinda Cho - Superwoman] * wow, this is indeed touching. fab vocals *

random thought 1: it doesn't hurt me at all. hahaha too bad, very sad.
random thought 2: i know u're closetted no more. now enough of proving that point.

[SI audio : David Yeo - Johnny Be Goode] whee, really energetic. too bad its a swan song.

i feel like
dancin
dancin
dancin all the way
i feel like dancin..whooo
(falsetto..)

NICE WAT. LOL.

lol i was laughing at shakira's ludicrous lyrics that day. OMG. when singers declare themselves songwriters as well, its smth creditable.

unless u're shakira.

[WHENEVER WHEREVER]

Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence

Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
[?!?!?!]
Never could imagine there were only
Ten Million ways to love somebody

Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
[<-I CLDN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS PARA]
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le ro le le lo le, Le ro le le lo le
At your feet
I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

lol alright. can u imagine a man confusing titties with mountains?? LOL. like "hey is that everest, andes, or kinabalu on ur chest??"

i think imma lil' lag. this song is pretty dated. lol nvm.
shakira articulates in such a way that it doesn't sound half as ludicrous as how it is actually written like.
which is actually why i liked this song enough to go dl it in the first place.
of course, it's been made known to me by maia.

[SI AUDIO - MAIA LEE - OBJECTION (TANGO)] {arrgh her best performance led her out}

i'm fallin apart in ur hands again
i'm fallin apart in ur hands again
get away
GET AWAY!

lol, these mp3s make me feel like dancing! really!! for the first time in my life. esp boogie woogie oogie. makes me feel like gettin up to, well, boogie woogie oogie!

if only i knew how to

let me gyrate the rest of the entry away...

ive slackened alot these 2 days..it's time to study again!

6 more crucial papers ahead.!







heaps of memorizing.. gallons of caffeine

all that has come to a (temporal) end now!

clit paper leaves me worrying. its the sort of moderately-difficult paper that leaves ur a1 hope dangling in midair. and some marking is impressionistic. difficult to predict. but owell, its like 4 months before results announcement, so lemme give my brain a break!

my brother is crazy. ever since i downloaded sylvester sim's when i look into ur eyes mp3 frm wildcard show, he has played it 256 times over in 1 week.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX TIMES AND STEADILY INCREASING

im so gonna cry cos it has surpassed the evergreen beautiful by 40 plays!

i shall delete then redownload. reduce the playcount back to nil.

lol speaking of my brother, he willingly gets ridiculed by me.
Note: the following is not abuse, its just brothers engaging in spasticity

nowadays when he borrows erasers from me, ill lend him on the condition that he records a voice interview in my handphone. there'll be a given theme, like banana, cockroach or lizard, and as i shoot him questions..he's suppose to answer revolving around the theme.

EXCERPT>>

(theme: cockroach)
ME: Who's your fav singapore idol?
BRO: Christopher Cockroach
ME: Who's your fav SI judge?
BRO: Cockroach Ken
ME: What does he say everytime that u like of him?
BRO: The contestants are very cockroach
ME: Who is your least fav?
BRO: Leandra Cockraoch
ME: Why?
BRO: Because she is not cockroach at all

i know ppl will find it ridiculously unfunny and downright retarded
but it amuses me so! ha!

well done ahschoir committee!~ heh heh. a breakthrough to have the farewell at a hotel! so pleasantly delighted when i was handed the invitation thing. nice artwork too. was it done by hongyi? props.

stark contrast is when,
dim lights and awkwardly dispersed tables in a stuffy safra poolside terrace is compared to a.. hotel ballroom? hehe. alright

ahh it really feels like the end of exams with this 9 days break.
but its not over yet

so many things have been planned ahead.
dejavu, choir farewell, organic chalet, family overseas trip. whee. and NOT forgettin the 6 remaining papers, everything wldve been bright and cheery without this gloomy black cloud loomin ahead.

the BIO and GEOG ppl
who gloated happily 4 hours ago
its meeee who's havin the last laugh now

the theme this thurs: ASIAN POP
credible souces refer to this genre as one that lets them explore their musical cultural roots....which means they are gonna sing CHI and MALAY pop songs..... im still kinda baffled why this wld happen with SI's language medium being engg...

even heard the syl will be singing a jay chou song
exciting eh
daphne sing what? i know...twins..cookies..cyndi wang..or some dysfunctional one fifth?

COOKIES.
COOKIES.
COOKIES.
say that band/group name again.
appalled
i can't see how they can be NOT disgusted with their own band name

what's next? Vegetables?

shuddddddddder

i wonder what im gonna feel after the exams. def. ecstatic but then... aimless the holiday style once again. the sudden transition: 4 months worth of mugging and cupping then suddenly, nothing to do.

mugging has been so rooted..i may not be able to pluck it outta my mind. HA

my MP3s are all so dated already
somebody send me something.

AND one last thing

i saw maia's daddy whoosh pass me on a bike! hahahahaha
YES
the one who went "maia hen ai piao ling" in spectacular one
was at the traffic lights junction arnd 85 market
maybe he was going to fetch tyrese
big space in the basket at the front of his bike
big enough to fit him
or maybe to meet maia
hahahaha

im trying to keep awake..trying my best..











phew. i finally have some spare time to blog

..about the adorable gce o levels exam, what else

exam lowdown!

hcl paper 1/2:
by the 75-mark gauge, A1 would be peanuts to alot of people for this relatively ez-pz paper.. all i'm afraid of is moderation (a1 bar is sure gonna be raised to say 80+) and foreign competition (READ: CHINA SCHOLARS)

combined humans/ss:
fretted over one of the questions. i mean, everytime a never-before-seen question is set, who's gonna know that particular required answer style? how wld we know if we were to write 2 purposes (like what's required)... or cross reference + 1 purpose... or 3 purposes... or 3 usefulness aspects... nevertheless i want an a1 for this

english paper 1/2
my compo is sub-standard. i don't have that much of a flair for flowery descriptives (im not florence lian the synonym-queen)... and i picked the shopping mall question!!! ive lowered my expectations for this. no way can it surpass my prelim compo marks =( =( =(. was suffering from partial mental block during compo too. affected my writing mood. and the place where im sitting is not atmospheric enough. wahhaa.. this aint crap logic. it makes sense.

emaths 1
when people in other schools were wondering if they had been handed the GCE N Level scripts instead of the Os one upon completion of paper....

amaths 1
relieving. i was sorta banking on kinematics (3.5hrs practice on eve of exam) and it didnt came out! -TEARS HAIR IN AGONY- luckily i didn't study RV. and luckily the paper was relatively easy though. keepin my fingers and toes crossed for an equal-standard pp2. then there'll be a shimmer of hope for an a2 (or even 1!) heeheee.

hurdles ahead: clit, physics, chem.

progress so far has been pretty smooth sailing, but i know that's because my worst subjects (chem n physics) haven't arrived yet. HAHA. so i shan't self deceive. mugging joys!

met seng guan at 85 market today! nostalgic hor, gf? (hehehe)

*give me one moment in time
*when im racing with destiny
*i will feel
*eternity
*you're a winner
*for a lifetime
*if u seize that one moment in time
*make it shine
*one
*moment in time

i paused to ponder about what i was studying clit for.

- for my love for chinese literary works? no.
- for my appreciation of chinese culture? not really.
- to trace my cultural roots? NO. and that's plain corny
- for an advantage and easier entry into journalism and language-related jobs in future? maybe.

ain't that superficial?
i must be one of the regurgitate-and-don't-absorb students in MOE's eye. its because of people like me that a revamp is urgently needed for clit.

and the champion is so wishy-washy. makes me feel like slapping the whoever jessica's face and toro's as well. for mumbling too much and being so indecisive. makes for draggy drama.

i missed SI yesterday.
how could i?

of course i could
no more chris and maia around
saves my $1 also.
