Weird much.

Wait MV Narration

2011-08-11T15:53:00.008+08:00

Here we go with this song (listen to it as you read this):

Scene appears in a town at night. Shows David on a bench with his hoodie on under a lamp post. David starts singing.

I can't sleep, I'm feeling wide awake
Tonight is taking it's time
How much more before the morning breaks
And I can leave it all behind

Zooms in on David's face. Intense eyes.

'Cause every time I try to close my eyes
I only end up seeing memories of you
And it's never enough, I'm waiting

Changes scene. David starts walking down the street and sings with few people walking past him.

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last

Stretches out his hand towards the screen with emotion.

One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go

David leans on a wall in a back alley and sings.

I am keeping every word you say
But how much longer can I hold on
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Remind me that you're already gone

Zooms in on David.

'Cause every time I try to chase your voice
I end up getting lost and running in circles
And it's never enough, I'm waiting

As David walks, he sees a couple crossing at a junction towards him. Both look happy as they held each other close. Envy look on David's face. Slight angle from behind David's hoodie zoom in on his listless expression. Scene changes between David at the back alley and the bench earlier.

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Oooh yeah, don't go

David sings at the rooftop. He overlooks the town.

Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go

David looks at the moon. Zooms in on David's intense eyes as he look towards the screen. Scene blacks out.

End.

Here we go with this song (listen to it as you read this):

Scene appears. Orange sky as it is evening. Some clouds can be seen.
Focuses on a meadow with a piano in the middle. A figure walks from afar.
Zooms in on David with a black jacket and shirt and jeans and brown shoes walking towards the piano, sits and starts playing the piano with him singing.

You see a storm heading our way
You know the cold can make things delay, up here it can’t do any harm.
The cracks show in the concrete jungle
Tear apart the weakest of hearts, up here you’ll be safe in my arms.
Oh.

Focuses on David's hands on the piano. Changes to David's intense eyes.

I know that you’re feeling like we’re only dreaming
Well don’t look down ’cause this is real.

David stands solo in the meadow. Stretches out his hands as he sings following the words of the song. Zoom ins and outs.

Like a satellite we’re flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything and more.
There’s no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything, we’re everything and more.

David lies on the grass, hands behind his head with a daisy on his chest. Wind blows the scenery. Changes scene to David playing the piano.

Let’s try holding each other, found a love to last forever.
Up here gives you wings to stay strong, ooh.
The air is pure that we’re breathing.
We’re something to believe in, ’cause I feel it’s where we both belong.

Scene getting darker. Close to night. Zooms in on David singing solo.

I know that you’re feeling like we’re only dreaming
Well don’t look down ’cause this is real.

Scenes in between David singing solo and with the piano. Zoom ins and outs.

Like a satellite we’re flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything and more.
There’s no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything, we’re everything and more.

Shows the sky filled with stars. Zooms in to David looking at the sky. David sings solo again. Emotional moment.

Trust me this is worth not falling back to Earth.
Everything and more is up here.

Zooms in to David with the piano. Scenes in between David singing solo and with the piano. Zoom ins and outs.

Like a satellite we’re flying
Overhead where we see it all.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything and more.
There’s no turning back from this point.
Reaching heights like never before.
Nothing can touch us, we’re everything and more.

Focuses on David's hands playing the piano. David smiled slightly.

Nothing can touch us, we’re everything, we’re everything and more.
We’re everything and more, hey.

David gets up from the piano. Turns back for a moment. Smiles and walks back to where he came from in the darkness. Focuses on the piano and shows the daisy earlier. Scene blacks out.

End.

Notice Me MV Narration

2011-08-11T00:42:00.004+08:00

Here we go with this song (listen to it as you read this):

Beach scene. Zooms in on David's hands. Zooms out. David in white t-shirt with an outer white shirt and beige pants standing in the sand facing the water. David starts singing.

I try to find the words when you walk by (walk by)
Words just can't explain the way I feel (I feel) inside

Change scene. In school corridor full of lockers. Students walking after classes end. David walks out of classroom with glasses and a backpack with a couple of friends. Saw a girl walk past him. Got attracted as David looks at her. Back to beach scene.

My friends keep sayin you're untouchable
And I can't help feeling invisible

I'd do anything to catch your eye
So you could see me in a different light
Tell me what's it gonna take cause I wish you would notice me

In Chemistry class. David kept glancing at the girl he saw earlier at the table to his right. Girl looks happy and chats with her friend as they do an experiment. David's friend pats him on the back. David got surprised and adjusted his glasses in embarrassment as his friend teased him.

If you could only give me just one chance
I could be the one and here I am
What's it gonna take to understand

Without David knowing, girl took one glance at him in curiosity from afar. David sings at the beach, zooms in.

Wish you would notice me
Notice, notice, notice me
Notice, notice, notice me

David walks into a library. Saw the girl walking his way. He quickly hides behind a shelf.

You've got a light that never seems to fade
I'm drawn to you and I can't look away

David admires girl from afar. Change to beach scene. David sitting down as wind blows his hair on slow motion. Sings and zooms in.

We come from different places, girl I know, mmmm
But two worlds collided could be beautiful

David walks along the shoreline as wind blows his clothes swiftly. Sings solo with gestures. Emotions.

I'd do anything to catch your eye
So you could see me in a different light
Tell me what's it gonna take cause I wish you would notice me

School ends for the day. David unlocking his keylock from his bicycle. Girl walks beside him. David taken aback.

If you could only give me just one chance
I could be the one and here I am
What's it gonna take to understand

Girl chuckles. Helped David up. Both chatted a bit. David blushed.

Notice, notice, notice me
Notice, notice, notice me

Girl cycles away. David gazes away. Back to beach scene.

I wonder if you know how amazing you are
You leave me breathless

Zooms onto David. David really emotional and getting into the song. Stretches out his hand towards the screen.

You didn't even try but you've stolen my heart and I don't want it back
I don't want it back

Zooms out. David gazes upon the sea.

I'd do anything to catch your eye
So you could see me in a different light
Tell me what's it gonna take cause I wish you would notice me

David sings solo. A pair of feet can be seen walking towards him in the sand.

If you could only give me just one chance
I could be the one and here I am
What's it gonna take to understand

A hand held David's hand. David turns to look. It was the girl whom he likes. Girl wears white top with a long, orange skirt. Her long hair blows in the wind. She smiles.

Notice, notice, notice me
Notice, notice, notice me

Both hug each other as they dazed upon the sea. Zooms out. Blacks out.

End.

Love Don't Hate MV Narration

2011-08-11T00:09:00.007+08:00

Hi!

I've been listening to Love Don't Hate and Notice Me (that later) so much that my mind has created a music video for it in there. So here's what my music video pictures like (listen to the song as you read this):

Scene appears, dark and brown ambience, sort of like at night, zooms into a room, vague outline of David sitting on a chair near the window.

Title appears - Love Don't Hate, David Archuleta

Zooms into David's hand, switches on the radio on the table by turning the knob.
David looks into camera and starts singing.

Don't know what I was thinking
I messed up and now we're sinking

Zooms out, shows curtains by the window blowing slightly.
David appears listless. Zooms in at David again.

Said things I didn't mean
Hard to watch your heart breaking

Change scene. David in an empty room. Gestures and sings to the camera with emotions. Couple of zoom ins and outs.

Words cut like razor blades and left you
with a scar
Made a mistake I can't erase
Oh I was wrong

David looks at a poloraid picture, seems like him with a girl. Zooms in at David's eyes.

Took you for granted
And I can't stand it
Shouldn't be that way

Random lights shining on David, creating shadow effects on the walls behind him as he continues singing.

'Cause love don't hate, hate
Love don't hate, hate

Change scene. David and the girl near a swing at a park. Season is Fall. Lots of brown and orange leaves. Seems like they are arguing.

You said that you need time
'Cause hurt don't heal over night

David sits on the swing and sings. Zooms in.
Girl walks away as she sways her scarf up to her neck.
David stands there, not knowing what to do.

It's not enough to apologize
What I did wrong I need to make right

Changes angle. David looking at the sky. Clouds can be seen brown contrast.

Words cut like razor blades and left you
with a scar
Made a mistake I can't erase
Oh I was wrong

David sings among the beautiful trees in the park. Zoom ins and outs.

Took you for granted
And I can't stand it
Shouldn't be that way

David picks up some leaves. Lets them go as they are blown in the wind.

'Cause love don't hate, hate
Love don't hate, hate

David sings emotionally with zoom ins. Back to the room scene.

I should've listened
I should've met you in the middle like
I needed to

Poloraid picture on the table with David's fingers on it. Moon shines brightly in the sky outside the window.

Nobody's perfect
No fight is worth the risk if it's gonna
mean losing you

Change scene in the empty room. Stretches out his hand as he sings. Very emotional. Zooms in. Solemn expression on his face.

I should've listened
I should've listened

Change scenes in between the park and empty room as he sings solo. Zooms in.

Words cut like razor blades and left you
with a scar
Made a mistake I can't erase
Oh I was wrong

Took you for granted
And I can't stand it
Shouldn't be that way

'Cause love don't hate, hate
Love don't hate, hate

I should've listened
I should've listened

Doorbell rings. David looks in the direction of the door.

I should've listened

David opens the door. Girl stands at his doorstep, smiled slowly.
David smiles back and invites her in.
Zooms in on David solemn expression. Zooms out at the room he was in the beginning.
Blacks out.

End.

The David Archuleta KL Concert Experience (Day 3)!

2011-07-29T22:16:00.002+08:00

Today was the final day we were gonna spend in KL. How time flew quickly when we were having a good time the past couple of days!

I woke up the next morning to the sound of chatter of the other peeps in the living room. Feeling zenful (or something like that), I greeted them morning in my sleepy tone and slouched on the chair, not believing that I had just gone through yesterday. The other peeps were talking about meeting Papa Jeff and how they had some regrets such as not taking a personal photo of him. Even so, we convinced each other that we came here to attend his concert and to have a good time and we did just that!

Our flight was at 2.50pm so we had to hurry in the morning, considering everyone kinda woke up late (who wouldn't in that nice environment we were in?). Jeff suggested Carl's Jr for breakfast since Mai had a craving for it so we went to The Pavilion to grab a quick bite. We stopped by a bread shop before rushing back to the hotel to check out and head to KLIA for our flight.

We didn't realize how crucial the time was at this moment till when we arrived at the airport. You see, we left at around 12.30pm and went on separate cabs. Me, Mai and Jeff share a cab and turned out our cab driver decided to make a stop at the petrol station to top up gas. We were busy chatting about the past few days that we did not notice the time. By the time we reached the airport, the checking in time was almost closing. We ran to the counter once June saw us and told us to hurry and we made it in time! Gosh I was still sleepy and groggy from the lack of sleep. Haha.

By then, we saw Sal at the airport too as she was heading to Singapore before heading back to Johor, which was nearer. We flew back to Singapore and here I am, recapping my experience with you guys after a few days to reflect back on the 3 awesome days I had!

To end off, I would like to thank the rest of the Singapore Archies, Mai, Jeff, June, Larissa, FSteven, Sal and Wei Yan for making this trip an enjoyable and memorable one! Not forgetting Kim too whom I finally met after talking a couple of times on the phone. It was nice to meet you!

Also, to the Malaysian Archies I met, Hannah, EcaChan, Mirachie, Hazmiftw. You guys are great!

Finally, I wanna thank DAVID ARCHULETA AND THE BAND and of course PAPA JEFF for having the Asian Tour and making it possible for Asia to share the warmth and soulful voice of the boy wonder and awesome live music! It was great hearing and meeting you guys and hopefully we get to do it again soon enough! Yay! And thank you people for reading.

Zaren signing off. Out!

The David Archuleta KL Concert Experience (Day 2)!

2011-07-28T23:32:00.012+08:00

Today's the Concert Day!

In the morning, we had breakfast at the hotel and went to Suria KLCC where me and the other peeps went shopping and had lunch. On a side note, the KL atmosphere is somewhat chaotic and the transportation was interesting and eye-opening, be it the train or cabs. Haha.

After shopping at around 4pm, we went straight to Stadium Negara where the concert was gonna be held. Apparently, there were 2 stadiums in KL. One was Bukit Jalil where soccer matches were usually held and Stadium Merdeka? Not sure if Merdeka and Negara are the same stadium but either one, luckily our cab driver knew where we were going and arrived there safely. We saw some merchandise being sold at the stalls outside and found that they were unofficial. Still, we bought some David passes and badges. Hehe. The official merchandise has some nice shirts but baby tees. Grr.

After a while, it was time for M&G. Sal, a Singapore Archie based in Johor, kindly got the Singapore Archies passes for it, so thanks Sal! There were other groups too, so it was messy at first but we got in soon.

Here's the best part. Let me put it in points:
-Entered the room, saw David taking an official photograph with a group in front of us.
-I told Papa Jeff, who was sitting nearby to meet Jeff from Singapore.
-He said, "Oh really? We have the same name? Is the spelling like J-E-F-F?"
-JeffSG nodded. Both Jeffs shook hands and acknowledged each other (EPIC MOMENT)
-David said Hi! We said Hi! Sony rep asked to go to David to take an official photograph first (What's up with that?)
-Sal talked to David a bit about the DSA Charity thing DASG did previously. David trying to listen and went OOHH! Sony rep rushing us. We got annoyed.
-Overwhelmed him with our gifts. David had a confused and happy look at the same time. "Oh thank you guys. Thank you, thank you!" He took the bags one by one with his fingers.
-My closest Archies, Mai and Jeff, 'ninja'-ed in front of me to meet Papa Jeff.
-I've no idea what just happened, so I joined in to take a photo with Papa Jeff and JeffSG and Mai and EcaChan (Malaysian Archie).
-We went out of the room.

So yes. It was rushed and we barely get to talk to the wonder boy. Goodness. Anyway, at least we got meet him. So it was good. As usual, the gals were spazzing about the moment. LOL.

We hung out outside for a while since we had around an hour moment to spare before the 8pm concert. We got in around half an hour early and got seated. The stage looked awesome with the purple lights and music instruments in stage, ready to go. This was the moment. THE FIRST DAVID ARCHULETA CONCERT OF MY LIFE.

The opening act came out first (Malaysian local singer I think). He danced great though couldn't make out the language coz it's in Mandarin. Haha. Then the Archie's band came out and got ready. There were screams at intervals and when David finally came out, everybody in my section literally stood and went forward, so we had no choice but to stand. So much for numbered seating. Haha.

The first thing I realized was the MAD STEREO SYSTEM. Gosh the speakers were so loud, I could feel the vibrations, but it was DANG AWESOME. I LOVE IT. Combined with David's MAD VOCALS AND THE BAND, MADNESS! I guess that's how a concert is supposed to be like.

He belted out Stomping The Roses, TOSOD and ALTNOY in the beginning. I can't remember the flow for the rest of the songs, but he sang them flawlessly. It's hard to describe it, but he literally was expressing his emotions through his songs. You can really feel his connection with the audience and the songs and we were just having fun with it! He sang additional covers such as Stand By Me, Heaven and Crazy just for his concert here. How awesome is that?! BLOODY GREAT. No words could describe his performances seriously. He's getting better and better each time I see him perform and he's gonna do great in every album that's he's gonna make in the future.

The BEST part, however, was the ending, where Steven J Robinson, the drummer teased the audience and continued drumming the Crush tune after David left and not wanting to end it. David came out soon after and even played a bit of the drums with him. IT WAS EPIC. The audience went crazy and I just screamed for the drummer and the band. IT WAS LIKE ROCK CRUSH AND THE BEST ENDING EVER. LOVE IT.

The concert was over before we knew it but some fans still wanted more. Haha. The band threw some things to them like cloths, bottled water and even the drum sticks. So sporting! The guards were blowing their whistles so we had to leave. But some fans managed to get the band's autographs on their stuff, so it was neat!

We spazzed still outside the stadium and headed back to the stadium to bid farewell to David and his band. So, that was the last we saw of them live in person. Truly great. Truly. I was calm and zenful (like the rest said I was, since I was not jumping or screaming in the concert till the end) throughout, but inside, I was a happy guy. :)

We went to KL Central to McD to have supper and coincidentally, it was David's hotel right opposite the place, according to the other peeps. Surprise surprise. LOL. After eating, we went to the hotel coz one of us had some official business with Papa Jeff with the photos and all (Larissa, if you wanna know) and had to pass him something so we accompanied her. It was already like 1am at this time I think.

When we arrived, a group of Malaysian Archies were talking to Papa Jeff so we had to wait a while before Larissa could talk to him and both of them went up to his room. I was awed by the hotel where David was staying at, but he deserved it.

Soon, Larissa returned, with Papa Jeff as well! We were surprised that he was willing to meet us a bit though it was quite late and he must be tired. The first thing I heard him say was "This is Jeff from Singapore?" HE REMEMBERS JEFFSG. ANOTHER EPIC MOMENT.

We apologized that we were there, but he smiled, saying it was no problem since he planned not to sleep the entire night. He added that he'll just sleep throughout the flight later in the early morning. Wow.

We chatted a bit and he told us that he felt he should tag along during this Asian Tour since David won't be able to handle things on his own and it was great being in Asia and was not expecting the people here to be what he perceived. For example, he said in Indonesia, girls there were covered up with the tudung and modest outfits so he was expecting them to be calm and collected and be modest, as what is reflected by what they wear. He laughed it off when he realized he was wrong and turns out they were just as hyper as the rest of the fans, with the same spirit of loving music deep inside us and apologized for his earlier thoughts about Asian fans. It was a good conversation and he even remembered JeffSG! Cool stuff! We asked him about Singapore and he said that they were supposed to go there, but it was cancelled, though it would be a private event even if it worked out.

HOWEVER *ahem ahem* end of the year for Singapore. Want to know more? You'll have to ask me or the other peeps for it directly since it's no promise yet but if you wanna know, ask us when you meet us. :)

After that, we bid Papa Jeff goodbye and thanked him for having David in Asia. One thing we regretted after this was that WE FORGOT TO TAKE A PERSONAL PICTURE EACH WITH HIM. Haha. I guess we were too exhausted even that thought didn't cross our minds. Still, it was awesome meeting Daddy Archuleta! Such humility and gracious character.

We cabbed back to our hotel and me, JeffSG and Mai hung out for a while in the living room while the rest slept, drained out. I planned not to sleep since it was 4am by the time we washed up and everything but in the end, my body got the better of me and decided to collapse on the sofa/bed. Haha. So, that wraps up the 2nd day in KL. Yay. Zzz.

P.S The instant coffee I made had no effect at 4am.

The David Archuleta KL Concert Experience (Day 1)!

2011-07-28T22:59:00.006+08:00

Hi guys!

It's been a while since I blogged (close to a year actually) but I hope you guys are well (if there are any readers out there). The next few posts or so are gonna be about my trip to KL, Malaysia to attend David Archuleta's concert as part of his Asian Tour!

When I heard he was coming to this part of town, me and the other Singapore Archies were very excited, so we crossed our fingers, hoping that he would stop by here. Unfortunately, he didn't so we were quite down about it. However, some of us decided if David can't come here, maybe we can to him! So with planning and stuff, we managed to pack our bags and head for KL, Malaysia where it was his last stop for his Asian Tour. He headed to Indonesia, Manila and Vietnam before that. Crazy and enthusiastic fans there too, I must say. Haha.

Let me point out that this is a first experience for me about everything. From having a new passport to taking a plane for the first time and attending a concert overseas. As I type this, I still can't believe I did all that. It was awesome!

After we landed in KLIA, we took a cab and headed to Somerset Ampang KL hotel to check in, which was cool coz it was so posh and swanky! We took an apartment room and boy I love it!

We put our bags down and went to Fareinheit 88 Mall where David was going to hold an autograph session specially for his Malaysian fans. Not before going to A&W fast food restaurant, where we had lunch as we were super hungry! The root beer was great as always!

Soon after, we arrived and we saw the stage with David Archuleta's backdrop and we were hyped up! We saw a queue near the stage so we joined in and chatted and got to know some Malaysian Archies. David was fashionably late (no pun intended) and by the time he arrived, all hell broke loose as always. Haha. He sang a bit of Something 'Bout Love and the autograph session started after that. He was always smiling as each fan came up on stage to get his autograph.

When it was my turn, I passed him my TOSOD ATE lyrics booklet and ticket for him to sign. He only signed the ticket at first, so I asked if he could sign the booklet too. "Sure!" he said and obliged. I think he must be tired in the inside hence the blur reaction but still looks good physically (w0w). When he was done, I held out my hand to give him a handshake. It took a second for him to realize and I told him he looked good in blue by the way with our hands still together (firm handshake he has). He stoned for a moment with our eyes in contact and his trademark smile looking at me. "Thanks!" he replied and I went down the stage. Does his eye colour keep changing in different lighting? It was like olive green with a bit of hazel. Bizarre but interesting every time I look into his eyes. Pure.

Soon, he left, smiled and waved to everyone goodbye while the fans were singing Wait (obvious reason) and screaming his name and all as he did so. Everyone dispersed and we Singapore Archies headed to Pavilion next door to have dinner at this Italian restaurant. By that time, it was already 11pm and close to midnight. We were tired but still excited coz it's only the first day! The concert has yet to begin and we were already spazzing about him being here and all. It was a great bonding session as well.

Once we were done, we headed back to hotel where we cleaned up and slept to get ready for the next day, Concert Day! :)

OH GOSH A YEAR HAS PASSED FROM MY LAST POST?!

2011-07-28T22:38:00.003+08:00

Woah! It's been nearing a year since my last post! Gosh. Time sure flew by fast! -cleans spiderwebs-

It's time to change some stuff around here, starting with the header above. Gonna do one with additional singers, Adele and Demi Lovato! Rolling In The Deep and Skyscrapers are their number 1 hot singles at the moment and they are really awesome! Demi is making a comeback with an album on September 20th so Lovatics, be excited! Haha. Following that would be my twitter background and my graphics blog. Yay!

Alrite, comeback message done. Haha. Now, the next post would be the David Archuleta KL Concert Experience! That's right! I got a chance to attend his concert and meet him (well kinda, more on that later). It's been surreal and I'm still a little too not over it. Here we go!

Movies, Movies, Movies!

2010-08-10T22:12:00.011+08:00

Hello!

Wow gosh it's been a really long time since I last came in here. Well, nothing much to blog about since my life has been somewhat ordinary and been pretty much a routine. Since I have time, I might as well post something today. And it's all about movies that I have watched at the cinema!

The first time I saw the trailer for Salt, I knew I had to watch the movie since it looked so cool! With Angelina Jolie, you can expect slick action and sexy eyes piercing through yours as though she was looking at you intently and of course her adoring lips. All right, let's not get carried away.

The movie has an overall guessing game to the identity of the main character, Evelyn Salt to whether she is a Russian spy sent to kill the President of the United States. There are twists and turns and unexpected truths lie ahead as the story unfolds. I wish the ending would be better but overall a good thriller with car chases and of course the one and only Angelina Jolie.

Toy Story 3! After a few years since Part 2 was released, Pixar has done it again with the toys having one heck of a ride of their lives. Andy, their owner is going to college and the toys are worried that they would be thrown away. One thing led to another and they ended up in a preschool where things were not as sunny as they thought it would. Led by the awesome Woody and mighty Buzz, the toys work together to get back to Andy before it's too late.

For me, any movie from Pixar would always bring joy to viewers since it has the ability to mix various emotions into the movie. It's great for the whole family to watch and the ending was very heart-warming. Also, expect wacky characters and witty lines that would tickle your funny bone. Awesome movie!

Usually this is not my kind of movie to watch but it looked interesting, so I tagged along with a couple of friends to watch it. The Robin Hood you have always known where he steals to give back to the poor is not really portrayed in this story since this is Robin Hood before those days. There's a history to this but it'll take an entire night to tell so let's just get to the point.

Russell Crowe plays Robin Hood well with his cool vibe and accent. There's a scene in the end where he shoots the bad guy who was escaping from him from far. That was dang awesome! They don't call him Robin Hood for nothing. Great adventure and cool story. I'm starting to like bird names like Raven and Robin. Oops random.

I just watched this today and heck I enjoyed it. I know people have been criticizing about this movie since there were many issues like the actors not really fitting the characters as compared to the cartoon series and the cast were made up of Americans when it's supposed to be an Asian influenced movie. I guess the audience who are familiar with the series have high expectations for the movie and I can understand their views. All right, for me the Fire Nation would be better off with Japanese or Chinese people taking the role and there should be more action scenes as I felt there weren't enough.

Still, the special effects were great and we shall see how the next 2 movies would turn out. Hopefully, there would be improvements after much critiques by everyone out there.

Lastly, let me just say I WANT THIS PHONE. Gosh, the above picture would tell you why. And of course, I love it. Enough said.

To all Muslims out there, happy fasting for the month of Ramadan!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

"As you wish, sir."

Haha! How I wish that would be true. Well, no harm imagining it. I love the whole computer system Tony Stark has. It's so cool! Anyway, I watched Iron Man 2 and it's awesome! I think Robert Downey Jr is a good and funny actor and played the character well in this story. The new suit, War Machine, packs a punch and with Iron Man by his side, they are unstoppable. Love the action and humorous lines and antics of Tony Stark. Overall, awesome!

Work as usual is like a routine. I keep glancing at the clock at work, just waiting for the day to end. This has to go on for another year or so. Sigh. Well, I just take it one day at a time.

Until here folks! Bye! Nash out! :D

How To Train Your Dragon

2010-04-04T12:42:00.004+08:00

Hello!

The last 2 days, I have been watching How To Train Your Dragon with my close buddy, Indra and my Archie buddies, Jeff and Mai. Haha! The movie is darn fun and awesome to watch! The whole storyline and script is pretty good and love the antics of the characters, especially the main ones, Hiccup and Toothless, the Night Fury Dragon. The audience was always in suspense from the start till the end, with of course, certain puppy eyes from the oh-so-adorable black dragon itself. LOL. If you want to destress or just have a good time, this is the movie to watch. Why do you think the tickets for this movie were selling fast when I wanted to buy tickets? LOL.

Hanging out with my close buddy was pretty cool since it's been a long time since we hung out. We ate at Swensens with the voucher I got from work and we enjoyed our baked rices. Then, we just rambled and walked around Marina Square before catching the movie and headed home. Can't believe it's been 6 to 7 years we known each other and we still kept in touch. Haha! Thanks Indra for the good time!

As for yesterday, I hung out with my Archie buddies and had a lot of fun! We kept laughing over random funny stuff and caught the movie before heading to Starbucks@One Fullerton to chill. Jeff brought his Polaroid camera which he got for his birthday (dang cool) and he tested it out for the first time. Haha! The photos turned out pretty good since the cafe had a cool ambience and good lighting and I'm loving it. LOL. Thanks Jeff for the photos and Mai for your jokes! You guys are awesome! :D

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Young and Earnest Geek

2010-02-23T23:09:00.003+08:00

I stumbled upon an article today (Source: The New Paper) regarding American Idol 9 and how they are comparing it to past Idol alumni contestants. Here's one comparing Aaron Kelly and David Archuleta.

What do you think? In a way, I agree. There can only be one and only DAVID ARCHULETA. Haha!

Looking Ahead

2010-02-19T22:59:00.004+08:00

Hello!

Today, I went to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It is wicked awesome! It is very Harry Potter-ish so I love tat kind of genre of fantasy and of course special effects. Haha! The main actor, Logan Lerman is pretty good and he kinda reminds me of Zac Efron, but he looks more mature (not sure if that's a good or bad thing to girls). I can see he can venture a lot into the movie industry. Anyway, there's humour, love, friendship, bravery, family and down-to-earth traits wrapped all in one. Pretty good entertainment!

Speaking of which, the posters are really awesome. Should I purchase them? Haha! Problem. I don't have much space on my walls for another poster. Hmm. How about a slightly smaller one? Haha! I also didn't know this was an adaptation from a book series and turns out there are 4 more stories to tell. Haha! Looking forward to more Percy Jackson on the big screen!

So, I have been thinking about this year and the things that I'm looking forward to. Here are some I can think of right now.

David Archuleta's sophomore album
Jojo's new album
Iron Man 2 movie
Toy Story 3 trailer
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 movie
New American Idol
Change? Well in something but not sure what.

I'll add more when I think of more. Haha!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Concerts, Money and Age

2010-02-11T14:04:00.006+08:00

Yo yo!

First off, if you noticed anything different about this blog, of course it's the header on top. Haha! It's time for a change since it's been there for a quite a while since last year. It features 3 of my favourite Idol singers, Carrie Underwood, Kris Allen and of course, my favourite of all, David Archuleta! Haha! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Well, speaking of Kris Allen, he came down to Singapore yesterday to hold a concert at Zirca Megaclub at Clarke Quay. If you have not known, he's the first American Idol winner to hold a solo concert here. Well, I know Carrie Underwood came down here before to perform in conjunction of the official opening of Ion Orchard some time before. That may not sound like a concert to them (I don't know whether they know) but to me it is. A whole set of 10 songs or so during that free night concert was so worth it. Haha. What's more, I rushed down there after booking out of camp with an expensive cab fare and battling heavy traffic, thinking it might too be late. Thank goodness I was just in time! Such fond memories. :D

Oh where was I? Oh I was sidetracked. Haha! Anyway, I missed the opportunity to attend Kris' concert as first of all I was broke and secondly, my work schedule was not out yet some days before the concert so I was not sure if I had work on that day. And it turned out I was free on that night. Sigh. Oh well. I hope he comes back again for another concert. From the online videos, it looked like an awesome concert! Here's my favourite. He had fun on stage with his fans!

Don't you notice that money matters today? It doesn't matter what it's used for. It is still needed for our needs and wants, particularly needs. Sometimes, we focus too much on our needs that our wants are neglected and thus, there is not enough money to buy our wants. Well you can see an example from here, the Kris Allen concert tickets. Haha! Just when the opportunity was there, another setback arose. Money.

Honestly, it's hard to survive in this world without money and to get money, we need education. So kids, if you have the chance to study, don't waste it. It'll definitely help you find a job and of course earn money.

So lesson learnt. Back up a portion of your money for certain wants although the needs are the first priority. Haha! What do I mean? Savings of course. Also, I guess I have to make wiser choices when spending, no doubt. I know I'm guilty like buying a costly movie poster for myself last month (The Blind Side. LOVE IT). But hey, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so I guess it's alright. Still, balance is key. LOL.

I don't believe I'm turning 21 this year. Am I that old already? Honestly, I still feel like I'm 18 or something. I don't know. Maybe I still feel like a kid inside. Haha!

Well, I shall stop here. Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

Change?

2010-01-24T00:46:00.004+08:00

Heyya!

It's been a while since I have updated. Haha! Well nothing interesting happened during the period so it was kind of pointless if I write about boring stuff right? Oh well, moving on.

Let's start from yesterday where I finally passed out from Basic Police Training in National Service! Haha! Everyone was in high spirits and it felt like Hari Raya whereby everyone was wishing each other all the best in their future endeavours and asking for forgiveness should they have done wrong with one another during the past 3 to 4 months that have passed. Quite a sight really. LOL.
Furthermore, I got an award for Best in Professional Studies, which I really was not expecting to get. I thought my other mates might get it since they are quite studious and well, I felt I was not up to their level. Haha! All right that doesn't make sense. In any way, I am grateful for the award and I thank everyone, especially my OC (Officer in Charge), who has been a great guide to me.

Today, I had fun hanging out with my family! First we went to a music store before watching a movie called the Blind Side. My mom and dad had fun listening to the music me and my sister introduced and they were grooving to them such as Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood and Bon Jovi. Haha! We ended up buying a couple of albums from the store. All right, on to the movie next.

Let me just say I love this movie to bits! Sandra Bullock has really played her character well as a firm and strong headed woman who always stand by her beliefs and principles. A story about love and redemption, it would sure to touch you one way or another, whether is the story of the whole life of Michael Oher (pronouced "oar") or the heartwarming scenes of family bonding. Whatever it is, I strongly recommend this movie to all. Why do you think the tickets were selling out fast when we got there? :D

Also, you could also purchase the book by Michael Lewis if you still want to know more about the true story of this brilliant family. I truly love and respect them. I'm still at Chapter 4, but I can't wait to continue reading it. Haha!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

P.S I'm starting to like BMW cars. Haha!

2010-01-02T23:05:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps!

First of all, away with 2009 and hello to 2010! I hope you guys had a great start to the year! Here's to a decade!

A new year means different things for different people. For some, it might a year where they want to improve themselves in terms of education, character, whatever you name it. It could be anything that their heart desires.

For others, it might be a new chapter in their lives where they would have to close the black book of 2009 and look forward to a brand and fresh year to start anew in their lives.

Whatever it is, let's make this year fruitful and do our best in everything we do. Look in the mirror and ask yourself. Are you willing to be a better person?

Out of the Blue Update

2009-11-15T17:17:00.002+08:00

Hello!

It's been a while since I have updated. Well, first off, I finally got my Carrie Underwood's "Play On" CD! Woot! Ever since she came here to sing live, I have been listening to her songs almost every day. Her live singing is EXACTLY the same as the record, but BETTER. She totally deserves the title of the American Idol and the music awards she has been winning every year. Carrie, you rock!

As for the album, I totally love every song in the album. It makes me relax and groove to the music at the same time. Some of the songs are really heartfelt and with Carrie's voice, the feeling is just amazing.

In terms of NS, it has already been about 2 months. People said I look different but I don't know. Haha! I still feel the same inside but I guess it's the perception you get from people. It always makes me moody every time I want to blog about this topic, especially since today is book-in day, so I shall not blab further. Overall, tough, but adapting to different people and environment. That's all I have to say.

Next week would be John Mayer's "Battle Studies" and Kris Allen's self-titled albums release! Woot! Can't wait to grab my hands on those. LOL.

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Music To Buy In November

2009-10-18T17:11:00.007+08:00

HOT COVERS AND MUSIC!

OH SNAP. I LOVE THE SINGLE'S COVER ABOVE.

On Hiatus.

2009-09-07T22:31:00.006+08:00

Hello!

I just wanted to pop in and say that I would be in National Service in the coming months so I would be on hiatus for the moment. I might update during one of the weekends but it depends on the situation. Haha!

All right. Here is some randomness.

I totally want the shirt/jacket (left) and the watch on his wrist (right).

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Up Poster and Wishes

2009-08-16T22:21:00.004+08:00

I WANT THIS POSTER! KEVIN THE BIRD IS AWESOME! XD

Not much going on except that I finally got my Walkman Wearable and new Sony Ericsson phone thanks to my mom. Hehe! I love them! Thanks Mom! You are the best. The phone was not exactly the phone I wished for since it's still new and costly but hey, it's still a Sony Ericsson phone! Haha! Sony Ericsson rocks!

I also found out that David's Christmas album would be released October 13th! OH MY HECK! I can't wait!

I have a couple of lunch and dinner dates this week with some peeps. That should be interesting. LOL. Also, Ramadhan is coming so I would like to wish all Muslims out there, Happy Fasting! :D

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Disney, Pixar Movies Are Awesome!

2009-08-09T22:52:00.003+08:00

Heyya!

First of all, let me just wish all Singaporeans out there a Happy 44th National Day! Gosh how time flies and look at the progress the country has made. Awesome stuff. As usual, as a yearly practice, my family ordered KFC and Canadian Pizza. Now, I'm so dang full. Ugh. Oh well. Haha!

I watched Up this morning and boy, it was worth waking up so early just to catch the first slot of the movie. Haha! It was emotional in the beginning with Carl and his wife, Ellie spending their life together until Ellie passed away. Then, off he goes for an unexpected adventure with Russell, a wildlife explorer and an unexpected companion. LOL. It is a heartwarming story for the whole family to watch. I love the colourful bird, Kevin (unexpectedly a female bird) and Doug, the talking dog. Squirrel. .. Hi there! Haha!

Addicted song: A Dream Is A Wish A Heart Makes - Disney Channel Stars

Awesome song. Being grooving to it since yesterday. Haha! Check it out! I love the music video for it too. Disney rocks! Pixar rocks! Woot! :D

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

...

2009-07-30T22:19:00.000+08:00

What a day. That's all I have to say.

"It's Been A While" Update

2009-07-28T14:12:00.005+08:00

Heyya.

It's been a while since I last updated. -clears webs on blog- Ack! Tsk tsk how dusty. Haha! Anyway I'll try to remember what I have down for the past few days. I apologize if these events are considered "old". Haha!

First off, 2 Saturdays ago, some Singapore peeps and I went to Cathay Cineleisure to watch the David Archuleta Manila Concert on DVD which one Hong Kong Archie kindly burnt for me. We were all stoked and pumped when we ate lunch first at Burger King. Oh one thing about Burger King is only eat there when you are REALLY hungry coz one set can make you full. Why do you think they call it the King of Burgers? LOL.

Anyway, after that, we rented a room and played the DVD. Soon, everyone's wild sides were unleashed with everyone singing, dancing and even jumping along to the concert. And this happened in a small room with a table and computers. So basically there was not much space to jump but they still did anyway. Haha! I'm just happy to see them happy and enjoying themselves although I did not jump with them. Hope you guys had a great time! I know I did.

Then, the next day, my family and I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at cinema. Talk about wicked! Those who read the book might appreciate and have positive reviews regarding the movie. Those who did not might have otherwise. Overall, I think it's an awesome movie! Gosh you can see how Harry, Hermione and Ron grew and mature from the first movie till now and the emotions that are playing in their hearts now that love is in the air. Also, I love the Harry/Hermione scenes. Beautiful I must say. Oops getting mushy.

Overall, a great movie for Harry Potter fans and I can't wait for the 2-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie coming November 2010 and summer 2011. Dark times. There will be light at the end. Haha. All right, moving on. LOL.

Also, I'm currently working on a David Archuleta Calendar for 2010 so you guys can check out Zaren's Workz to view them (link on the right). I cannot believe how fast I'm doing this. I'm WAY ahead of schedule. LOL.

As for music, sophomore albums for Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" album and Demi Lovato's "Here We Go Again" are out! Be sure to check them out. Awesome songs in them. I love them. Haha! Favourites for "Battlefield" are Don't Let It Go To Your Head and Let It Rain and "Here We Go Again" are Got Dynamite, Catch Me and Remember December. :D

All right. Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2009-07-17T22:35:00.000+08:00

MAY I HAVE THIS TOO? PLEASE?

2009-07-09T22:42:00.000+08:00

I WANT THIS PHONE. NOW.

Movie Review and Outing

2009-07-05T22:49:00.005+08:00

Heyya.

Figured I blog since there was a couple of stuff that happened this weekend. All right here we go.

So today, my family decided to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's actually a pretty awesome movie! What's more, there were wacky scenes in it too so there was a mix of everything. Of course, the main eye-catcher was the robots with their transformations and fights. Combined that with an awesome stereo surround system and BAM! Kudos the producers and the cast of the movie. It must have taken them a lot of hard work just doing the scenes and adding it in the special effects. Well done! :D

Yesterday, I went out with some of the Archie peeps (we call ourselves J.E.I.M.Z) just to hang out and stuff. We went to all sorts of places and had a good time. We also goofed with each other and snap a lot of pictures. Here are some:
There was this huge poster along the underground CityLink Mall for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie so we decided to snap pictures of it. Mind you, there were a lot of people walking along here and it took us a while before we could get clear shots. Haha!

So first we went to Taka as my friend Mai, wanted to buy a plushie. Then we walked around, travelled by train, walked and travelled by train from Orchard to Marina Square to Esplanade. I wanted to buy a plaid shirt but every shirt we found was costly. Gosh! And they were nice colours and designs too! Pity. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Then, when we arrived at the Esplanade only to find that there was a rehearsal of the National Day Parade there. Awesome! So we witnessed helicopters and jet airplanes flying across our heads to fireworks in the end! It was amazing. Even if I do not get to see the National Day Parade live next month, at least I experienced a bit of it. Haha!

In the end, my legs were aching and we were dead tired because of all the walking. I had fun with them though! Haha!

So that's about it. Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Quizzes

2009-06-24T01:41:00.003+08:00

Heyya!

I just want to share some results from the quizzes I took at Facebook. Mind you, they mostly are true. Weird. Here they are:

Who Is Your Soulmate?

Belongs With Someone With Rhythm.

Your future lover should be someone with talent. Someone who can juggle your busy schedule and make it work. You guys have something extremely important in your life in common.

What's Your Personality Type?

Type B.

Although you are assertive and a natural born leader, you don't mind being led. No doubt, you may procrastinate at times, you really are a hardworker. However, you know when to cool down and have fun. You make sure you incorporate rest into your day and often feel agitated without a good dose of alone time.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

Music.

You hear passion all around you, you can't help but stop study or work to hear people walking past. You seek perfection in the collection of sounds. If you not a musician already, you should look it up.

Oh I got Ashley's Tisdale Guilty Pleasure album! It's way better and awesome than her debut one! Rock on Ashley! This album is produced by the best songwriters in the industry and Ashley has put her personal touch on some songs too which is pretty cool. Ashley fans, you will be thrilled and won't get disappointed! Crank up the tunes! :D

That's all folks! Bye! Nash out! :D

A Long Weekend and More Things To Come

2009-06-07T22:48:00.004+08:00

Heyya.

I'm having a slight headache now so I'll try to keep this short.

So, as you can tell from the title, I had a busy weekend. Last Friday night, I had dinner with some Singapore Archies and a Hong Kong Archie who came down to Singapore for a holiday. It's nice to see her eye to eye since we have been chatting online for quite a while. We laughed and spazzed as usual about who else as the rest share their experiences in Manila where both Davids performed previously. It's awesome just listening to their stories.

I also like to thank the HK Archie for getting us gifts from HK. They are cool! Thank you so much! :D

The next morning, I went down to Bugis to meet the DA.sg peeps to help them with the LTAC project we are doing for a charitable cause. I had fun hanging out with them. Thanks for the laughs guys! You guys are hilarious!

Today, I attended a friend's wedding. How bizzarre is that? She's around the same age as me and yet she's already married. Most of us at this age are taking the next stepping stones in our lives trying to achieve our goals and dreams. Well, congratulations to her! May she have a happy and everlasting marriage. Cheers!

And to end off, Happy Birthday in advance to Wani! Hope you like the present. It's nothing much, but hopefully it's enough to put a smile on your face on your very special day. :D

There are a couple of things I'm doing this week as well so I'll blog about them after they happen. Haha!

Alrite until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Terminator Salvation..Or Something Else?

2009-06-01T22:02:00.005+08:00

Hey peeps!

Let me just give a quick update on what has been going on in my life.

Last Saturday, my dad decided to take the whole family to watch Terminator Salvation since it's a lazy Saturday. Well, it's not my kind of genre, but it's better than being a couch potato at home with such boring programmes on TV.

Well, if you are a fan of the Terminator series, you would like this with explosions, guns and whole lot of hardcore dirt (literally). Well, what do you expect? The machines and humans are going on war! Haha! Kudos to the sound system which made me jerk in my seat a few times with its loud bass sounds and surprising thumps. Overall, it's a good movie with cool special effects and aggressive main actor, Christian Bale.

And besides salvaging Terminator, can we please salvage the Earth too? Please? It's getting warmer every day. Goodness. Save Gaia!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

More To The List

2009-05-30T02:02:00.006+08:00

Oh hello!

Just wanna add some more stuff for the good things I'm looking forward to in the future:

Brooke White's debut album
Michael Johns' debut album
Jennette McCurdy's debut album
Ice Age 3 Movie
David Archuleta's Fun Pack on iTunes (June 9th) - Can't wait!

I just realized that I would need a large capacity MP3 player to fit all my updated songs in since my Walkman phone can only fit a certain amount. Gosh. LOL. Maybe not. Well, it depends. HAHA!

Nash out! :D

Movie Review and Good Things to Come

2009-05-23T23:12:00.004+08:00

Hello.

Today I watched Night At The Museum 2 and boy, it was worth it! Ben Stiller is one of my favourite comedy actors and he really played his role well. The movie makes you laugh from the start to the end and there are unexpected characters in the movie too. I'm not going to tell you who they are but I guarantee you would be surprised, especially one of them which got the whole audience in the cinema laughing.

What's more, the hilarious dialogues and scenes would prevent you from diverting youe attention from it even for one second. It's a fun movie for the whole family to watch and for those who just wants a good laugh.Also, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to KRIS ALLEN, winner of AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8! He deserves it for all the hard work and being true to himself throughout the competition, giving us unique and awesome performances too. Adam is a great contender too. I wish both of them the best in their music careers. :D

I can't believe that I'm expecting a long of good things to come in the future. Here is what I can think of right now:

David Archuleta's 2nd album
Kris Allen's debut album
Jojo's new album
Jordin Sparks' new album
Ashley Tisdale's new album
Disney Pixar's "Up" movie
Transformers, Rise of the Fallen movie
Blood movie
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie
Band Slam movie

Until here then. Bye. Nash out!

Get your armour. I'm battling against my uncertain emotions.

Sentimental Value and Proper Behaviour

2009-05-10T22:40:00.003+08:00

As I have said in my previous post, I'll talk about these 2 things so here we go.

Yesterday, my mother received a flower and a box of chocolates from a maid which she befriended at her workplace. Although she's just a maid, I felt it was really sweet and thoughtful of her to give something to her for Mother's Day although I know a maid does not earn much. Yet, with a pleasant camaraderie between her and the maid, it's like they have been friends for a very long time.

This just goes to show that even though a box of chocolates may not be worth much to one person, to another, the sentimental value is huge and it depends on which perspective you choose to see. So, before you judge someone or something, think about how you want to perceive it coz it affects you and the person affected as well.

Another thing. Proper behaviour. Man. What's with men nowadays? It's freaky what goes behind closed doors in public toilets of gents. Trust me. You would not want to know. Seriously, men can improve themselves if only they see how they are caring about their personal hygiene. The freakish sounds they make when they do their business behind the cubicles. It is seriously disturbing. UGH!

Just one thing I have to say on this one. I have nothing to say. Guess how the world works huh?

What a Week.

2009-05-09T23:45:00.007+08:00

Heyya peeps!

Many things have happened so I thought I share them here. So here we go.

Last Thurday, I decided to visit Iluma since I did not get a chance to walk around ever since the day David Archuleta performed there (such sweet and wonderful memories). As I walked in, it felt somewhat empty. Haha! It's just a random feeling since I could not believe that the mall was actually packed on that day on all floors of the mall just to catch a glimpse of him.

Anyway, once I stepped in, I could already feel the cold air brushing my skin. It was an awesome feeling although it was strong since I was walking under the scorching sun outside. Nevertheless, I just enjoyed the cool atmosphere as I rode on the escalator and explored the mall.

Some shops were open while there were still some renovations going on in some parts. I was awed by the huge space of the mall. No kidding. It's BIG. There's a new movie ciniplex and I took pictures of the stands they had outside. Pretty cool stuff.

After that, I met the DA.sg peeps who are involved in the Let's Talk About Charity (LTAC) project and helped them gave out flyers for the project. It felt awkward at first but we all tried our best. For one thing, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. Haha! We had so much fun together so thank you guys! Hopefully we can do that again soon!

So on Friday, I realized I still had some flyers to give away. So, after my Friday prayers, I went to the library and gave them out to some secondary school peeps. Here is one such reaction.

Me: Hey there! Support charity. The info is all inside there in the flyer. -gives flyer- Thanks!
Girl: Oh ok.
-I walk away-

After a few seconds..
Girl: AH! DAVID ARCHULETA!

Haha! I think they did expect David to appear in there. Haha! More information on this project can be found at www.davidarchuleta.sg so check it out and support! :D

Today is Mother's Day eve so my sister and I decided to venture to Jurong Point to find a gift for our mom. It was hard to decide since there were not many gifts which were really practical yet sentimental. However, after much survey, we finally bought her a small, black pillow with a special message and cute bear on it. Haha! She loved it so I'm happy for that, just seeing her smile. She has faced a lot of problems in her life but still continues to live life as per normal. Thus I feel glad to see her persevere till the end. I love you, Mom.

It's kind of a long post so I'll stop for now. I'll ramble more on sentimental value and people's behaviours when I blog again. So at this point, I just want to wish everyone,

HAPPY DAVID ARCHULETA DAY!
and
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Bye! Nash out! :D

Perhaps? Maybe?

2009-05-03T15:24:00.004+08:00

I randomly looked through a magazine and saw the description on my horoscope.

Libra

It's time to say goodbye to a number of people and places that no longer have any meaningful role in your life. You're an independent soul by nature, so you should be quite happy to set out on a new adventure, taking life as you find it.

Hmm. In a way, it's true. No wonder I have been having these weird feelings these past few days. What's more, one time, I just lied on my bed and faced the wall at night with no emotion or thought. Just staring blankly at the wall.

Oh well. Guess that's that.

Weird Twitter Dream

2009-05-02T13:53:00.006+08:00

Hey peeps!

It's a fine and relaxing Saturday afternoon now so I thought I share a weird dream I had last night. Haha!

Alright, first up. This one was about Twitter. In the dream, I was on my computer just twitting, and I guessed I tried my luck at twitting David, hoping that he would reply at least once. Knowing that it would never happen for a long time, I merely just switched off my computer and went to sleep. Out of a sudden, my cell phone just kept beeping me coz why? David was replying to my tweets. Haha! And we kept twitting each till I woke up. Pretty random, but still cool. Haha! Maybe it's because I have been twittering these past few days and it has gotten to my head somehow. Haha!

Oh I just remembered another one. It's one where I jumped down a flight of staircases while levitating in the air as I slowly flew down and landed down softly. Truly a great feeling at that time. Haha!

American Idol is heating up and it's down to the Final 4! My vote? KRIS ALLEN! Haha! Go Kris! :D

Anyway, I have nothing much to say so I'll stop here for now. Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

I Am My Only Friend

2009-04-29T00:32:00.000+08:00

Profound, huh? I just made that up today. Digest it.

Update

2009-04-28T13:19:00.004+08:00

Hey peeps!

I'll just make a quick update on what's been happening in my oh-so-boring life.

I sketched the picture above since it looks cool. Haha! I think I need more practice on sketching lips though, but overall, it looks good to me. Haha! I'm going to try to sketch more since I have not done it for a while. I still love it. It's one of my hobbies. Ok I'm rambling. Never mind. Moving on.

I got a letter I was hoping would not come and got to know that I'm going to NS around September in Police. That means, I have around 4 more months of freedom to enjoy and to keep fit too. I'm not sure what to expect but I know it's going to be hell in there. Hopefully I can cope with lots of prayers and having faith that I can get through this phase of my life for the next 2 years or so.

So ya. That's about it. I guess I'm looking forward to the latest movie of Harry Potter coming out in July. That would be so exciting! I'm stoked just watching the trailer alone. Haha!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Movie reviews

2009-04-12T23:05:00.004+08:00

Hey peeps!

So, today my family decided to go out and watch the movie, Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage since the trailer looked pretty interesting and all. It all started well, with the audience already intrigued and causing the audience to grip on their seats almost immediately because of the mystery and suspense.

The story starts with this girl called Lucinda who kept hearing whispers by an unknown source. Actually, the whole class was supposed to draw their vision for the future and place them in a time capsule which would be opened 50 years later. However, she just wrote numbers on her paper and 50 years later, it got into the hands of Nicolas' son. Feeling curious, Nicolas decided to randomly pick a set of numbers and see what it meant. Finding out that the numbers were linked to a big disaster in a particular year, he tried to find a pattern and true enough he did. There were only 3 more disasters which have yet to occur, and he tried his best to stop them.

However, HOWEVER, the ending of the story spoiled the whole thing. Want to know what? Well, you have to watch it. Haha! The ending is totally unexpected. WHAT THE FISH MAN. Anyway, I just give it 3.5 out of 5 stars, since the special effects are awesome. Haha!

I planned to watch this when it came out in cinemas last time but I did not manage to catch it. So, when it was aired on TV just now, I felt happy. Haha! Anyway, I totally love the movie and how the whole cast is being put together with Academy-Award winner, Meryl Streep and the sweet Anne Hathaway as the lead roles. It's a fun movie where you get to see how the fashion business is like and the different lifestyles people working in this line are leading.

Also, it shows you how to deal with difficult people, in this case, the Devil herself played by Meryl and learning how to balance your life well socially. Overall, I love it. Haha!

So there. Haha! By the way, Graduation Day for me is May 12th, a Tuesday. Gosh! It has been three years already in poly? Man. Haha!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

The David Archuleta Experience - Part 2

2009-04-12T00:00:00.011+08:00

All right! Let's continue with April 8th, the day after the Singapore showcase and autograph session with David Archuleta!

When I came back from the autograph session, my whole body was aching, so I did not know whether I would be able to hold on for the Private Meet and Greet (M&G) the next day. Therefore, I decided to sleep early to rest and set my alarm clock to ensure I woke up early.

My body felt slightly better the next day but I could still feel some aches but I managed to endure as they were not as bad as the day before. I got ready and packed my stuff before heading to City Hall MRT to meet the other lucky Archies before heading towards the hotel together for the Meet. At this point, I was still calm. It's just David. What could happen?

Once we reached the hotel, we proceeded to a room which had a "Private Meeting" sign placed outside. Larissa, one of the lucky Archies, set up her camera so she could take beautiful pictures of the moments with David. Everyone was starting to feel jittery as the time approached. He was supposed to meet us between 12 and 12.15 in the afternoon.

Soon, Ray, his tour manager came by to check out some things and Sheryl, the vice-president of DA.sg, suddenly blurted, "Oh my fish!". He merely turned and looked at the lot and said, "What?". Haha! It was a classic moment.

Suddenly, I heard some murmurings that David was already inside the room as he came from the door in the room (sneaky sneaky). Haha! It's understandable. As the door opened and closed, I saw a glimpse of him in a red shirt. I was pretty excited but nervous at the same time all of a sudden. Haha! The hotel staff was inside the room so we had to wait a while before we were given the green light. As some of the hotel ladies left the room, they were secretly spazzing but were trying to hide it. Haha! Typical, huh?

Soon, we were allowed to go in and I was the last to enter the room. He greeted us happily with that big, killer smile of his and is hands behind his back.

"Hey guys! How are you guys doing?"
"We are doing good!"

We placed our stuff on the floor and took pictures with him one by one. One of his funny, random comments was "That's a tiny jacket" when he took a picture with a girl because of what she was wearing. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's those jackets where it's only until chest. Haha! That was another classic moment.

When it was my turn, I said hi to him in which he replied back with a joyful "Hi!" in return and we took a couple of pictures. At that point, I could not believe I was standing beside him. It was a surreal moment. After that, I thanked him which he replied with, "Oh, you are welcome" and that smile again.

After the pictures were taken, each of us took turns again to talk to him and give him whatever we wanted to give him. Haha! When my turn approached, I walked up to him and gave him the Running wallpaper which Wincy, a Hong Kong Archie, printed for me the last time.

"Hey, this is a Running wallpaper I made."
"Oh wow, cool!"
"And here is a sketch I made of you. Could you sign it for me?"

Wallpaper:

Sketch:

I'm not sure what he said at this point as I blanked out for a moment, of all times. Why, man why? Anyway, he chose a silver pen and holding my sketch book firmly, he scribbled a big D followed by his signature. I merely looked at his hands when he signed my sketch for some reason. After he signed, I asked him if he could give a shoutout to a couple of Hong Kong Archies, Wincy and Hippie.

"Wincy and who?" -confused look- (I almost died here. Sorry random.)
"Wincy and Hippie."
"Oh ok."

As such, he got ready and smiled to the camera.

"Ok, ready, 1, 2, 3"

Here's the short clip. I love this moment.

After everyone met him, we showed him the Singapore banner and he was like "Aww cool! Who designed this?"and I raised my hand slowly. He looked at me for a moment before looking back at it and said "Awesome!". Then we took a group picture!

After that, the DA.sg peeps showed him the video which they made using his songs and gave him a CD which consisted of piano covers of his songs and the peeps singing it. David was really touched by it and Sheryl was quite emotional since she started the whole project as he was viewing the video. He consoled her by saying "Aww! Don't cry!" and held her close for a moment. It was really touching.

Soon, it was time for David to leave. Everyone bidded goodbye to him and he gave one last hug to Larissa (he should know her by now) before heading out of the room. Out of nowhere, everyone heaved sighs of happiness and some even burst into tears, still not accepting the fact we had met the boy wonder himself. We applauded for the President and Vice-President, Fifi and Sheryl for making this possible for all of us. After that, another group picture!

We soon had lunch and just spazzed more about David. Haha! It was great fun hanging out with other Archies!

In conclusion, I had fun during these past two days! I would never forget the experiences I had, fostering new bonds and making more friends, especially the International Archies! Thank you, DA.sg peeps, Dada, DL, Aura, Sharan and Prince for letting me meet you guys in person! You guys rock!

Also, meeting David himself was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If I get the chance to meet him again, I would try and chat more with him without trying to stone and blank out. Haha!

So, here are my experiences! I hope you guys enjoyed reading them! Until here then. Bye! Nash out! David FTW! :D

The David Archuleta Experience

2009-04-11T00:42:00.017+08:00

Hey peeps!

It took me a while before I can finally blog about my experience with the boy wonder himself, David Archuleta! I'm still a little too not over it till now, but it may be a good thing. Haha!

All right, so first off.

April 7th.

It was the day where David was to have an autograph session at Iluma, a new shopping mall opposite Bugis Junction here in Singapore. I arrived at around 1pm and there was already some Archies sitting outside the doors of the mall. The autograph session was scheduled to held at 7pm that evening. Early huh?

I looked around for familiar faces before Larissa, an Archie, called out to me. And so, I joined them with someone shouting my name, Zaren, loudly to the others since I designed the banner for davidarchuleta.sg (DA.sg) and the free handheld fans for TeamArchie before I sat down. Thankfully, I was one of the first few in line.

Some Archies, whom I chatted with online, introduced themselves soon after. I was so excited and happy to have met them. They included DL from Sri Lanka, Aura and her sister, Sharan from India, Prince from Thailand and Ray and FSteven who were locals. I also met with the peeps from DA.sg too and got to chat and mingle with them. The free handheld fans from TeamArchie were also given to those who were present early.

As time passed by till around 4pm, more people started joining in the queue. Most of them consisted of students who came down straight from school. The DA.sg peeps then decided to show the banner which I designed for them. The crowd cheered and clapped and cameras were immediately taken out and pictures of the banner were snapped. We then cheered some more and soon around 530pm, the doors of the mall open.

Feeling the excitement, all stood up and started heading for the doors. Security was tight so one by one, each fan entered the mall and after the quick inspection of our Archie CDs, we sat down in front of the stage. There was still some time, so I took some pictures inside the mall. Songs from Archie's album started playing, so the crowd grooved and sang along. It was a fun atmosphere.

Soon, it was close to 7pm, the time David was supposed to appear. The emcee for the evening just reminded us to be careful and not push each other when David arrives later as there were kids in the crowd too and they want the event to run smoothly without anyone getting hurt. Even then, the whole crowd was stoked and pumped to see him with the loud cheers as they started to stand. The energy coming from the crowd was massive. Besides the 1st level, there were also people near the rails on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th storeys of the mall. The event was huge!

Suddenly, the crowd screamed loudly when the emcee announced his name again a few minutes later and I turned to see if he had arrived from the back entrance. Cameras were all ready to snap pictures of him above the heads of the crowd. There were more screamings before I finally caught sight of him as he waved to the crowd and headed towards a room first. Everyone waited in anticipation. The Meet and Greet sessions were going on at that time with some fans entering and leaving the room.

After that, the emcee announced his name again and I became deaf instantly with the really high pitched screamings from the girls behind me. As he walked out of the room and waved, he went up on stage. He was wearing a blue shirt with a tie, jeans and white sneakers. I could not believe who I was seeing. It was him. REALLY HIM.

The song played and he started singing Touch My Hand. I was smiling all the way as I recorded the video for that performance. Unfortunately, I did not record the rest of the performances as I had some technical errors that morning with my digital camera (long story). However, I managed to snap pictures for the rest of the performances.

He sang A Little Too Not Over You soon after, followed by a Thousand Miles on the electric piano and finally the hit song, Crush. He totally rocked that stage and kept hopping up and down at certain times but I could tell he was having fun. What's more, it was different to see him sing him live than seeing him sing on television. No word could describe how he performed and sang the songs live. It was incredible and sensational. I was blown away.

However, this was where it started to get ugly for me. My arms were aching from holding up the camera too long and the pictures I snapped kept turning out blur.

"Dang! Dang!"
"Oh crap! Crap!"

I kept muttering those words above angrily to myself when snapping the pictures as he performed but I tried my best to control my shakiness of holding the camera in order to prevent more blur pictures from being snapped. I mean, who wouldn't shake, when David Archuleta is performing right in front of your eyes for the first time? Well, I did.

After the performances, there were more cheers and screamings and I almost could not hear myself speak. Haha! Soon, the autograph session started and one by one in order, went up on stage to have our CD booklets signed by David. Each one was ushered quickly out of the stage as there was a huge crowd and they wanted him to sign as many autographs as he could.

When it was my turn, my CD booklet was given to him. As he signed, I just watched closely and after he was done, I took it from him and thanked him as I held out my hand. He looked at me blurly for a second before smiling and replied, "Oh, you are welcome" with his green eyes meeting mine for a couple of seconds and shook my hand firmly. He was seriously friendly and polite!

I think he was spacing out for a moment when he was signing my CD booklet. Haha! Anyway, his eyes were one of a kind. They showed sincerity and compassion, although it was only a quick glimpse. I would never forget those eyes.

As I walked down the stage and stared at his autograph, I felt really ecstatic and happy that I finally got to meet him. I mingled with the other Archies after that and I also got to meet Dada, an Archuleta Avenue member whom I also chatted with online. It was great to see her. I love her spunk. Haha!

Anyway, I shall stop here for the moment. Next up, April 8th. Until then. Nash out! :D

Kids

2009-04-03T23:51:00.003+08:00

Hey peeps!

Today, I would be talking about kids in general since I have noticed a certain trend in them in terms of behaviour.

First of all, what's with kids nowadays? I feel like they are not like the kids before. Last time, kids are brought up in an environment whereby they learn to respect each other and have basic manners and courtesy. They learn to say hello whenever they meet someone they know, a teacher or friend perhaps. They learn to say sorry when they did something wrong and not blame the other person. They learn to excuse themselves should they need to pass through a crowd. Well, you get the idea.

Now, it's the total opposite. They would just stick out their tongues and tease you whenever you ask them to say hello to someone. They would keep blaming the other person for something they did wrong. They would just push you to one side with disrespect when they want to pass through your path and thinks the path is all his. This has come off too far and it has started to piss me off.

I feel that parents play an important role here in making sure their kids are brought up well. In this constant-developing world, parents need to be in control of their kids since the world is evolving and is starting to become one heck of a place unlike last time. Kids need to be protected and educated on the good and bad and what is right and wrong.

So, in conclusion, kids, behave yourselves and parents, do something about this. This is starting to annoy me, period.

Anyway, I just got the David Archuleta shirt designed by one of the S'pore Archies. It's dang awesome! Haha! He's coming next Tuesday! Man how time flies! How exciting!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Eye-Opening

2009-03-30T00:58:00.003+08:00

Hey peeps! I have not blogged for a while (not sure if anyone even reads but whatever) so I'll talk about what has been happening in my life these past few days.

I have been trying to keep fit, so in some mornings the past couple of weeks, I have been playing badminton with my peeps, Indra and Shamir. Shamir was really good as we kept having the same points after each round. Haha! It was always deuces in the end, which got Indra, I don't know, jealous? Haha! Not really jealous but just feeling wierd that he could not achieve that kind of performance whenever he plays against either of us. Anyway, it was a great workout and I get to run and smack so it was cool. Haha!

Today, I got a chance to meet some Thai Archie fans! It was an awesome outing! This is like the first time I met an Archie face-to-face, especially an overseas one so that was pretty cool. I got to meet another 2 Singapore Archies too.

One of them, Larissa just shared her experiences about her meetings with David, so it was a pleasant afternoon. The other one was a Secondary 2 boy named Raihan who was kind of shy. Haha! But he kept smiling and laughing when we joked around, so we were happy together. Haha! Ok I'm not making sense here but..never mind moving on.

We took some pictures and just laughed some more. Haha! Pictures might be uploaded soon. :)

Lastly, a wierd dream I had. Ok first of all let me just say this does not happen to me often but this was one of a kind. So here we go..

I was in my room, chatting with a friend who came over (I guess, I'm not sure. I just remembered chatting with someone). Then, for some reason, I decided to leave the room for a while, perhaps to get a drink.

To my surprise, David Archuleta was singing Crush in my living room as he was strumming his guitar. There were also some screaming girls nearby. He was sitting on my sofa, singing with full of emotion as reflected on his face. I think at this point, I blamed my mum for not telling me David was in the house. MY house. But she just kept silent. Haha!

After he finished singing, he went up to me. I asked him how was Singapore (of all questions. Haha!). He said it was cool but still had others part of Asia to tour so he was excited and smiled at me.

Then I woke up, freaked out and pondered to myself. Did that really happen?

Gosh, it's next week! Eek! :D

Anyway, until here then. Bye! Nash out!

Towards The End

2009-03-19T14:57:00.003+08:00

Take good care of it, and don't tell the idiots you have one or they'll want to get their grimy paws all over it.

Here are a few nuggets of wisdom to take with you as you go.

Chapter 4: One order of nuggets to go.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. But you can have your cake and eat someone else's cake too, and that's kind of better anyway.

Exercise hard. Eat right. Die anyway.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Unless it's about somebody who can't hear you.

Never be ashamed of your mood swings. I mean, who doesn't love swings?

The voices in your head are not real, but they still have some really great ideas.

And finally, always remember: You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. But you can choose the insane asylum where you have them all put away.

Everything will be just fine! Yeah Right.

Hope you enjoyed the short but insightful chapters of the book. Haha! At least I did anyway. Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

More Rabbit Wisdom

2009-03-15T22:06:00.002+08:00

Here's Chapter 2. :D

Fables teach valuable lessons, like let Grandma get her own basket of goodies. Read this one, and see how much smarter it makes you.

Chapter 2: The Fable of the Excellent Bunny

Once there was this excellently perfect bunny (like you). The bunny always did perfectly excellent things.

One day the bunny met this chicken who was a huge jerk.

And this chicken always did mean horrible things.

The excellent bunny wanted to make friends with the jerk chicken. But as you know, there's no talking to jerks like that.

So the bunny let his friend, Mr Bear, eat the chicken.

And then everything was great!

Moral: All problems can be solved by letting a bear eat them

Quiz Time!

Let's see if you truly understand the moral of the story.

After I read "The Fable of the Excellent Bunny" I felt:

A) The need to acquire a bear.
B) Alarm over the number of people I know who recently acquired their own bears.
C) Swindled out of the cost of this book.

Answer: The incorrect answer is C.

Ooh American Idol is going Country this week. It'll be interesting to see what the contestants would sing. Haha! And Carrie Underwood would perform too. Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Race. Review. Ramble.

2009-03-14T22:14:00.004+08:00

Hey peeps! Today is all about reviews since I have nothing interesting going on in my life. Well, today I watched Walt Disney's Race to Witch Mountain. The trailer kept playing on my TV set every time I turned it on so I thought it would be cool to watch it since it looked interesting.

The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, also known as "The Rock" who plays a cab driver in Las Vegas. It also stars Alexander Ludwig, who played a role in The Seeker (not that you guys would know but anyway). It's basically a simple storyline of a sci-fi movie, with two aliens (well in teenage human form) trying to get home but needs help in getting to their spaceship which is located, as you have guessed, in Witch Mountain located in the middle of nowhere. I shall say no more since it won't be exciting for those who want to see the movie but have not done so.

In my opinion, although the plot is predictable, the humour and special effects do make up for it. Funny lines from the cast and cool animation such as the spaceship and hi-tech computer system in the spaceship would surely entertain you that you would forget about the plot altogether. It's cool and fun for the whole family to see on the weekends so you guys should see if you just need to relax and unwind as well as laugh. Haha!

And other words of wisdom and junk that will make you wise or something.

All right. Here's Chapter 1 of the book I talked about in my previous post.

Intro:

This is a book. Unless you don't read, then it's a coaster.

No actual bunnies were physically harmed or emotionally damaged in the making of this book (though one chicken did sustain minor injuries). Any wisdom one gets from a bunny is probably not that hot. For your own safety, please do not take the advice of bunnies.

So you want to get wise, do you?

Well, you read Confucius or Socrates. You could study Solomon or Plato. But only one form of wisdom really and truly has a lot of pictures of bunnies...(if you get the book and see the pictures, you'll know what this means. Haha! Moving on..)

Chapter 1: Ancient Bunny Wisdom

The world does not revolve around me. It's the whole stupid universe that revolves around me.

There's no "I" in team. But there's a "me".

Love makes the world go round. But I'm pretty sure money has something to do with it too.

Work hard and the world is your oyster. Yup, you get a big, snotty oyster-scented world.

You can help anyone turn a frown outside down! Just pull off their head and flip it over.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Unless, of course, they did unto you first, and now you have to totally open a can of "unto" on them.

Laughter is the best medicine. So if you meet somebody with broken ribs, make sure to tickle them.

We must never, ever be mean to stupid people. If we are, they might go away. Then, who will we laugh at?

Learn the difference between right and wrong. You'll probably choose wrong, but you should at least know which is which.

When life gives you lemons..
..use them to squirt lemon juice into the eyes of your enemies.

I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. And I said, "Hey Footless Dude, guess you won't mind if I take your shoes."

Every cloud has a silver lining..
..for example, the most horrible farts can be used to inflate the most beautiful balloons.

Anybody who says you only have yourself to blame..

..is just not very good at blaming other people.

Quiz Time!

Okay, you've been on the path to Enlightenment now for 27 pages (if you read the book). Let's see if you are any closer.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

A) Half empty.
B) Half full.
C) I like pancakes and ducks.

Answer: The correct answer is C. Sometimes, the key to wisdom is not to answer every stupid question that somebody asks you.

More coming soon. Haha! Anyway, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

%^&%$#@&!

2009-03-07T22:37:00.003+08:00

As I have suspected, I am sick with the flu, followed by a headache and a slight sore throat ever since yesterday. I only had a slight flu last Thursday when I had take-out dinner (KFC and Canadian Pizza) to celebrate my parents' 21st wedding anniversary but it was gone soon after. For some reason, the flu bug decided to hang around the house and attack me one Friday afternoon while I was lounging and watching TV. Ugh.

So ya, I have to battle with the constant runny nose and slight headaches and sore throat until I get better. Lots of panadol pills and hot Lemsip drinks have entered my body and somehow, I still don't feel the effect. Ugh again. Sniffs.

I have come across this book by Jim Benton which is hilarious! Most of the content is somewhat common sense but in a funny way. It talks about life from a bunny's perspective. I'll share the content soon. I totally laughed with my sister when we read it.

Well, until here then so as not to spread the virus through here. Haha! Bye! Nash out! :D

Nervous Wreck!

2009-02-23T13:27:00.006+08:00

Hey peeps!

I am now in the school library just chilling and taking a sigh of relief. Why? Well, I just finished a TV interview in the morning just now for the news later tonight about the NP Advantage scheme, which was recently announced. Man, I was a nervous wreck! First time in front of the camera where people would watch it on the news later at night. I'll hide in my room for that half-an-hour telecast before I'll come out again. Gosh!

Now I know why some people dislike looking themselves on the mirror let alone, the TV. I probably messed up a lot and rambled who-knows-what but thankfully the reporter was friendly enough to guide us through the whole thing. Still, I think I messed up. Haha! Anyway, it was great insight to how interviews are done professionally on TV. Haha!

For some reason, I'm into chipmunked remix songs now. Haha! Some are pretty funny while some actually sound good. Haha! I laughed till my stomach ache just now when I listened to some songs I usually listen to in chipmunk. Haha! You guys should check them out on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff. Awesome! :D

Until here then. Nash out! :D

New Layout

2009-02-23T01:05:00.008+08:00

All right! A new layout is up! For the latest, I just made it simple with only the change in the banner, which is my own.Yesterday, I went out with my friends, Lyd, Wani and Rahima from secondary school, whom I never met for quite a while, except for Indra who I have been in touch with since then (well, until now, we are in the same school. What do you expect? Haha!). Pretty cool stuff.

We met around 2pm at Plaza Singapura and had lunch at Pastamania, which recently turned halal according to Wani. The food's pretty tasty too. While we ate, as usual, we shared some laughs here and there, just like old times. I noticed all of us did not change much, except for appearance and the paths we took ever since we parted.

After that, we walked to the arcade where Rahima's younger brother who she brought along with wanted to play some games. We took a few pictures and some us of us decided to go karaoke-ing so we went to find K-Box.

Unfortunately, we were shocked by the prices they charge (like REALLY SHOCKED) and so we changed plan to watch a movie instead. We watched Slumdog Millionaire. I can see why the movie is up for many awards, due to its true portrayal of India and its people, especially slums. It's a really good insight, so I recommend you guys to watch it. Note that it is NC16 as there are pretty disturbing scenes. I shall not describe them here but you get the idea what the rating generally means.

After that, we went to the Esplanade and just chilled for a while. We chatted about the past, the present and future. At the same time, we took some pictures together and laughed again. It was fun relieving those moments once more.
Soon, it was time to head home. We boarded the same bus and once again, more pictures taken and laughter. Haha! We still like to joke around, even in the bus. Haha! To sum up, it's great seeing my old peeps again and hopefully, we get to hang out again soon. :D

To those who are still reading this ordinary blog of mine, thanks for still doing so and take care! :D

2009-02-22T18:19:00.002+08:00

Revamp of blog soon. Bear with me. :)

Update: 75% done :)

2009-02-13T15:00:00.006+08:00

I'm posting this song by Carrie Underwood after all the ups and downs I have been feeling this week. Now, I'm feeling slightly better. It's really beautiful. Enjoy! :D

So Small - Carrie Underwood (Click Here)

Yeah, Yeah

[Verse 1]
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
seem so small

[Verse 2]
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

[Chorus]
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Yeah, Yeah

And one more thing. I have been given a couple of disrespectful remarks this week. What's with the people man? Well one thing, a random person who I added in MSN suddenly cursed and swore at me for no reason. HUH?! I didn't even say anything to you. What is your problem? I thought since you want to add me to make friends, it's all right with me. But why are you showing me disrespect for no reason?

Another incident happened when a taxi driver showed me the middle finger when he drove past me. At that time, I was at a provision shop. I did not know about it till the kind shop lady told me. Geez man. What is the world turning into?

So from here, there are 2 things I would like to say. It's all right if you want to make friends with me, but if you just add me just to bring me down and think you are bigger than me by cursing and swearing at me, I'll just delete and block you from my list.

Second, I'm still waiting for the world to change. It's not the same as a few years ago. It used to be more kinder. What is happening people?

2009-02-11T00:41:00.002+08:00

I'm seriously getting more and more emotionless by the day. My eyes are getting more bloody too. Eyebags? Possibly.

Anyway, attachment officially ended last Friday. It was kind of my manager and one of my seniors to treat me to lunch. I didn't really expect that since they have loads of work to do. Haha! Thanks so much for your guidance at EY. I'm honoured to be in your team.

Now, I have to complete a multimedia project related to the attachment, which my group already completed a couple of hours ago. Haha! Amazing stuff and timing. And to think we only managed to only plan the day after the attachment ended. Haha! And it's wierd hearing my own voice too during the process.

If my life goes on like this, I'm not sure where I'll end up. Sigh.

2009-02-01T22:26:00.002+08:00

Gosh it's been a month since I last blogged. Spider webs in sight too.

Well, my life is boring as you can probably tell. Nothing much happened really. Attachment is as per normal, like a routine. Well, it is a routine. Let's see.

Wake up.
Stretch.
Brush teeth.
Shower.
Dress up.
Have breakfast.
Plug in earphones.
Walk to the train station.
Listen to the radio or your own music/Take a doze for a moment.
Walk to the workplace.
Greet and smile to your co-workers.
Drink Milo.
Read the Today newspaper you picked up on the way.
Glance at watch.
Ask for work.
Day passes by.
Ask for any work before leaving for the day.
Heads back to train station.
Plug in earphones.
Listen to the radio or your own music/Take a doze for a moment.
Walk back home.
Do your best to enjoy the rest of the day before tomorrow comes again.

I'm sure you are having a pretty much better life than me. I don't really blame anyone for this. Maybe it's me. Ya you feel sick having to hear "Maybe it's me". I don't blame you for that too. But that's just how I feel every day. Me. Everything leads up to me. Me. Sometimes, I just feel like running away from all of this and just take a moment. A minute. A second. To have some serenity in me. Other people have their own lives to lead, so I shall not disturb them.

I have nothing else to say. To sum it all, my life=probably something you do not want to be in. Bye.

2009-01-08T00:25:00.002+08:00

Hey people. Or myself.

I'll just review a movie I just watched recently. It's Transporter 3. Amazingly, it has attracted many viewers at the cinema alone on opening day, which amazed me. I'm guessing the movie must be dang awesome. And it is!

Jason Statham is now officially one of my favourite actors. Haha! He really gets into the role of Frank Martin, who has this cool yet threatening demanour about him whenever you are near him. One thing's for sure. Don't mess with him, especially with his suit and car. He'll be mad, that's for sure. Like REAL mad. Haha! Love his fighting moves too. Great chereography! :D

Time has flew by and there's only one month left before my internship ends! Awesome! Haha! I'll be jumping for joy in the last day. Haha! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-12-27T22:55:00.003+08:00

Hey peeps!

I know it's been a while since I last blogged. Well, work calls. Haha! Anyway, I'll just share what I think of 2 movies which I had watched at the cinema recently.

First, it's Yes Man. Gosh this movie is really hilarious! I enjoyed every moment from the start till the end. Jim Carrey really lives up to the name of comedy based on this movie. Once again, like all the other funny movies he did, he sure did not fail to tickle every funny bone of everyone watching it in the cinema. If you want to lighten yourself up after a hard day or simply want to laugh, this movie is for you. It's great for a bunch of friends or family to watch!

Next is Twilight. All right, no offence but I don't see why everyone loves this movie so much, especially girls. This might sound biased, but from a boy's perspective, it's kind of cheezy (looks around for any girl in case I'm chased to be thrown rotten tomatoes at this point). I know, it's teenage romance. Maybe that's why girls like it. As for me, I just went with the flow when I watched it. If you like teenage romance and Edward Cullen, this is for you, I guess.

Gosh how time flies! It's already nearing the end of 2008! And it's officially one month and one week more to go for my attachment! Haha! Yay! The final report is due soon, but I have done most of it except for some parts and just needs some editing. There's also the group multimedia project. Hopefully, we'll able to get that done too asap.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-12-14T22:38:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps, if you are reading this. If not, then hello to myself.

During the weekends, my family decided to hung out and catch a movie called The Day The Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. It's a cool movie I must admit, although I have to agreed with the movie critics that the storyline is kind of "simple" with the way they ended the movie. I was expecting more from the outcome of the movie but the special effects and Reeves's emotionless character and personality made up for it. Still, I think there is improvement to end the story. If you just want to relax and just want to go with the flow, this movie is the one you might want to consider watching.

I'm not afraid to admit that I have been emotional these past few days. Somehow, in some occasions, I just could not hold it back and I would just cry. Yes, you heard me right. With tears and sadness. I would not say why here since this is public but generally, it's because of the ups and downs of life and I guess, me. Myself. So now, I'm officially emotionally weak.

The end of 2008 is approaching and so does the new year of 2009. Seriously, I'm not looking forward to the coming couple of years ahead. I just feel it would make me feel more depressed deep inside and creates a wormhole of darkness in me. Well, that's me.

My apologies if I ramble too much about myself. It's a bit selfish, I know. I'm sorry. You can ignore this post now if it still does not make sense to you after reading this last sentence. Thank you.

2008-11-29T16:10:00.002+08:00

Probably there are already spiderwebs around this blog but oh well.

Although many people might be looking forward to next year, I certainly don't. Why? The acronym, NS. Ugh. I only have a limited time to enjoy my freedom and teenage years before all hell break loose. However, I don't care. Abuse me all you want in there. They probably think they are better in rank than we are, but really I don't care. As far as I know, 2 years of depression and suffering would engulf me during that period. Psh. Whatever.

Anyway, let's divert to something else. I'm halfway through my attachment period, which I guess it's a good thing. Approximately 2 months and 1 week more to go. And I have not started on my final report yet. Haha! Nice.

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-11-11T01:37:00.003+08:00

Ok. It's getting quite late now so I better hurry or else I'll be late for work tomorrow. Haha!

I finally got David Archuleta's debut album today! Yeah! I was on cloud nine when I saw the album on the CD shelves under "New Releases". Also, somewhat I felt nervous when I entered the CD shop. Haha! It's also the same feeling on the day the results of American Idol this year was going to be announced. Wierd huh?

Anyway, tomorrow would be another awesome day (later I guess) as I'll be getting the deluxe version on iTunes. Woo Hoo! Another 4 additional songs, which are bonus tracks to be heard! Can't wait!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-11-05T00:28:00.005+08:00

200th post already? Wow.

Anyway, today's post is all about randomness. Can you believe I actually thought today was Sunday when I woke up? Gosh! I remembered dreaming about something that triggered that thought but the moment I opened my eyes, it disappeared and so I could not recall. Sigh. It must probably because of the Looking-Forward-To-The-Weekends Syndrome ever since I started my internship almost 3 months ago. I'm halfway there! Hopefully all ends well.

Also, during lunchtime, I have been doodling on my drinking paper cups. Haha! I'll post pictures soon. I think I'll have some work to keep me busy this week. Till the weekends I go! And next Monday! :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-11-01T22:04:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps!

Nothing much to blog today. Just a normal, typical day. I wanted to sleep more in the morning but I was forced to wake up to have breakfast at McDonalds. It was not all that bad although I can get pretty cranky if I don't have enough sleep.

After that, my friend, Indra and I went to campus to paste several posters promoting the gifting campaign for David's album. Hopefully the students would notice. Haha!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-10-27T12:35:00.002+08:00

*Negative aura. I'm just expressing my feelings here. No offence to anyone out there. It's just me. So if you don't want to read this after reading these few lines, itz alrite.

I have been thinking a lot lately. About my life. My future. My emotions. My moods. My thoughts. Family. Friends. Career. It's all been crazy. It's hard to sort all these things out. I'm not sure why. It has been really frustrating. It's been nuts. Shall I explain? Let me try..

Life. Pretty mundane. It's like a routine. There's only be some occasions of happiness but it'll disappear as fast as it came.

Future. Uncertain.

Emotions. Moods. Thoughts. It's been one heck of a ride. Sometimes, I'm not sure why I'm feeling what I'm feeling at times. There'll be sudden mood changes, which can be pretty drastic. It's a whirl. Thoughts linger in my mind a lot too. Good and bad.

Family. They are always there for me. I pray we will be happy forever.

*Friends. I'm not sure who I am to them. I feel as if I'm being treated like a spare tyre and they'll only come to me when they don't have anyone else to hang out with. I know they have their own lives to lead to. From their group of friends to the start of their love life. I don't blame them really. Maybe the real problem lies in me. So, ok it's me.

Career. Uncertain too. From my attachment now, I'm not sure if I'm able to work every day from 9 to 5 in a routine for the rest of the life. I'll go mad if that happens.

That's it. If you read it, thanks for reading my ramblings. Bye.

2008-10-23T22:32:00.002+08:00

I just want to say thanks to all the peeps who wished me a Happy Birthday today. Yes, I'm turning 19 today. Not much of a celebration. Haha! My family just ordered pizza and work was dull as usual. However, I felt a bit happy today since it's my special day. But just a bit.

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-10-19T22:57:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps!

I seem to be better now that my sore throat is almost gone now. I'm coughing a bit but I guess it'll improve in a couple of days. Anyway, what a great weekend! First I would like to thank Joel for the wonderful early birthday present he gave me last Friday! Oh my gosh! I did not expect the DVD box set of Season 1 of Ghost Whisperer to be it! I'm really happy and ecstatic! I was smiling and hopping on my sofa when I opened it! Thanks again! :D

Oh I got to listen to sneaks of songs from David's debut album! They are Touch My Hands, My Hands and now the latest, A Little Too Not Over You! Awesome! Archieness! His songs totally rock my world! I'm seriously looking forward to his album! It's going to be one dang ride! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-10-13T12:00:00.003+08:00

Ugh *rubs throat*

Every swallow is a torture and painful. Why? I have a sore throat today and a fever ever since Sunday morning. I went to the doctor a while ago and was given 2 days of MC. Sigh. It's even hard to talk. Im not even doing anything right now with my mouth but I can feel the sore throat. Ugh. Hopefully it gets better.

To all my friends who are starting school today, all the best! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-10-12T01:21:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps!

Nothing much to blog since my life is pretty mundane. So if you guys want to leave as soon as you read this first paragraph, I don't blame you.

Work. Work has starting to catch up on me since I'm starting to get real busy in the office. Usually I would have some free time but last week passed by so quickly, with a snap of the finger just like that. What's more, for the next 2 weeks, I'll be super busy. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but I'll try and endure it.

Also, I have been thinking and spacing out a lot lately. About my life. My future. How my decisions now may have a big impact on my future. Mixed emotions. Sigh.

October 23. November 11. And November 17. Dates that will make me the happiest boy on earth. :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-10-01T01:03:00.002+08:00

I love her version of Crush! Awesome! :D

2008-09-29T22:19:00.002+08:00

Hey peeps!

Sigh it's Monday. Monday Blues started setting in the moment I opened my eyes from my sleep. Gosh! Well, I guess the day turned out all right. Yay? Haha!

My first pay is going to come into my bank account soon. I'm so excited. I think I'm going to buy a couple of thumbdrives to store some of my HUGE data in my laptop (which causes it to lag) and sometimes it pisses me off but I bear with it since it's my first laptop ever (I love it). Also, a treat to dinner for my family is a must and maybe an outing with some friends (wherever they may be right now). Also, I'm going to hunt for that jacket that I want so badly. Ugh! Haha!

Well, from 1 October onwards, 4 more months to go. Ugh. Haha! But it's ok. Special days are coming ahead and I can't wait. Hehe!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-09-27T22:42:00.002+08:00

Finally itz the weekends again! Woohoo! Yay! Ugh tomorrow's Sunday already? What a bummer. Oh well.

Wednesday would be Hari Raya Puasa. For those non-Muslims, I can see many smiles on your faces right now since you can take a break from school or work for at least a day and what's more, it is smacked right in the middle of the week, so time files faster. Haha!

Oct 23rd..November 11..Looking forward to them..:D

Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-09-24T22:19:00.005+08:00

Hey all!

Gosh David's album cover is out! OMG! It's freaking amazing! I just love it! I'm so grabbing the album now! Although you can get it digitally at iTunes when it comes out on November 11, it won't be the same as getting it as a hard copy and have it in your hands! What's more, there will be even cooler pictures of David inside too and the lyrics will be provided as well. What more can you ask for? Perhaps a personalised autograph from the man (or maybe boy) himself on the album you are going to get. But for this, I guess for some it's just a long life dream unless of course you can get HIM to sign it. HAHA! :D

As for today, the audit job was all right. I'm thankful my senior is kind and friendly and we can interact well together and laugh at certain matters. I'm glad we clicked. Tomorrow we would be auditing the same company again and she said we should be able to complete it by tomorrow and head back to the office by afternoon. Friday is so nearing! Can't wait!

And for some of you, you guys can't wait for next Wednesday right? Haha! :D

Well, until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-09-22T23:53:00.002+08:00

What is there to talk about today..Hmm..

Well, I finally got out of office and went for an auditing job with my senior. It's an interesting experience. You seriously get to meet people woth different personalities. Friendly faces, grumpy faces, why-are-you-looking-at-me faces and many more. Fortunately, the people I met so far during my internship are quite friendly and easy to talk to, so it's pretty all right. Tomorrow I would have another job with another senior so hopefully everything goes well.

I'm seriously looking forward to Fridays now. And November 11. Sigh.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-09-21T01:40:00.002+08:00

All right quick post before I head to bed.

One: I'm always looking forward to Fridays and the weekends but not Mondays. Now I understand why working people have monday blues all the time. No, let me correct that. ALL OF US.

Two: I just found out David's album is going to be self-titled. Awesome! I wonder how the cover would be like. I can already imagine..

Three: Just a few more days to go to fast (past halfway) before Hari Raya Puasa. Then 4 more months more for intership. Oh..*smacks forehead*

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-09-13T23:42:00.002+08:00

Hello!

Today is all about my favourite singer, David Archuleta! Haha!

Well, I just found out about 6 songs from his debut album. I'm not sure if the other 5 are confirmed but hey, no harm in being excited over them right? Haha! What's more, most of them are written by himself. Ain't that awesome? Haha! Here they are!

1. Crush (as we all know)
2. My Hands
3. Ruined Me
4. Cynic
5. Desert Sky
6. Final Step

Gosh I want that album so badly right now! Haha! The titles of the songs are so cool enough to make me want to listen to them! Haha! Love the Crush video too! The eyes..*girl faints* NURSE!!

Well, back to my mundane life.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-09-07T22:47:00.001+08:00

This is a showcase of Archie (And some Brooke) wallpapers I made. Enjoy! :D

2008-09-07T01:00:00.000+08:00

Sighs. And more sighs. Depression sets in. In the next 5 months. Ugh.

2008-08-31T22:21:00.003+08:00

If there are people out there reading my blog, then hi there! If not, then I'll probably say hi to myself. Oh well. Anyway I'll just update my life a bit about what's been going on.

Ever since the examz ended 1 week ago, everything's been chilling yet rushing at the same time. It's as if I have 1 week freedom left before something bad's gonna happen or something. I tried my best to do whatever I wanted to do during that one week and I managed to accomplish most of them in my "Things To Do in 1 Week Before Job Attachment Starts" list. Also, I watched Wall-E with Indra! Haha! And I watched it again today with my family! Haha! It's a fun and hilarious movie! Itz suitable for the whole family! Gosh it's fun to watch it again twice! Haha! Oh those eyes! :D

Ugh this feeling! Tomorrow would be my first day of job attachment and I'm nervous! My hands are shaking and my heart is feeling uneasy at this moment. From what I heard from my friends, you would never expect what you have foresee. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Im already anxious about so many things! Here are some examples:

What kind of Staff they have
Whether I'll mingle well with the Staff there
What Work they would offer us to do and the level of difficulty
What kind of Environment they work in
What Stress level would I have to endure

I'll have to go 3 days of training before I start work proper. Hopefully all goes well during the 6 months.

Also, my first day of work is the first day of the fasting month. It's probably a good thing since it's a blessed month and it may help me calm my nerves a bit. To all Muslims out there, Happy Fasting!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

2008-08-25T23:52:00.003+08:00

Hey peeps!

Well, finally the examz are over! Woo Hoo! Yeah! *breathes a sigh of relief*

Let me tell you how I think I would fair for the examz. Screwed. Yup, you heard me. Screwed. *smacks cheeks*. I can tell you now that for one of the papers, I could not hold back my emotions and I cried, thinking I would fail after doing the paper. This never really happened to me. I guess itz probably because I fear of failing. In this semester, all I want is just to pass all my modules since it was really stressful for me. Hopefully, I'll do well or at least pass. *sigh*

Well, now I have one week of break before I'll start on my 6 month job attachment. Gosh hopefully everything would be ok. Friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere. Gosh who am I kidding? Itz located in Raffles Place! And the company is a prestigious one! *bites teeth*

Well, I feel like I'm rushing everything I wanted to do. Haha! Well, I only have one week before the hectic schedule comes in! Letz rush and panic (in a good way of course)!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-08-08T02:31:00.001+08:00

Sigh. Why do I even bother to do such things. Guess I have no answer to that. Sigh.

2008-08-03T00:43:00.002+08:00

Crush Lyrics

I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time, deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever
Feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever do is think about you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Has it ever crossed your mind when we were hanging
Spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe we can make this into
Something that will last forever, forever

Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Oh my gosh! This is David Archuleta's debut single "Crush"! And guess what? I LOVE IT! This is officially MY FAVOURITE SONG OF THE YEAR! It aired on the radio for the first time on 1 August 2008 with David himself and the Arch Angels and Archies tuning in to hear it for the first time too. It was an awesome and memorable experience!

However, one thing pissed me off. When I got home from school after listening to the debut single of Crush, one of my walkman phone earphones decided to die on me. Grr! I'll have to change my earphones soon. I can't stand listening with just one earphone. There'll be no bass and stereo system in my ears! I miss that feeling!

Examz coming. Job Attachment too. And I'm not ready.

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey guys!

Itz been a while since I last blogged. I was very busy with school projects and assignments. It was really tough. Thank goodness most of them were group projects so it makes the load lighter. What's more this semester is very stressing and tiring. Sigh. Pressure. Competition. Intelligence. Need I say more?

I just had my NAPHA test today. Don't even ask. It turned out really bad. But I did feel a sense of accomplishment in my 2.4 km run since I did not stop or walk and continued all the way. Haha! A bit exhausted now since it's been a long day but I'm glad it's over. I was getting irritated just thinking about it.

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-07-19T23:28:00.001+08:00

Disaster lies ahead. I'll update about my life soon. :D

2008-07-07T18:55:00.001+08:00

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

2008-07-02T23:50:00.002+08:00

Hey guys!

From the previous post, you can tell I was quite stressed at that time. Itz been really hectic. From projects to assignments to tutorials to the Common Test results. Itz been one heck of a roller coaster ride for me. Gosh! I think I'm gonna be real busy this coming days so hopefully I'll pull through.

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

I dunno if I'm a somebody in somebody's life..

Hey guys! School's finally resuming tomorrow. How time flies! And my 2 weeks break were not really breaks since I was bombarded with lots of projects to complete. Oh well.

I accompanied my friend Indra to go shopping at Takashimaya at Ngee Ann City at Orchard Road yesterday. I'm so happy to see him getting his own smart shoes and new clothes too. As you may notice (or not), I'm finding this one certain jacket which I like a lot. I spotted a few yesterday but the prices were way off my budget. Haha! Oh well. There's still a lot time for me to look for it. If I can get that jacket, I'll be the happiest boy in the world. Oh and I want to watch Wall-E! Gosh it's darn cute! Look at the eyes! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to do certain things..

2008-06-14T15:40:00.002+08:00

Alrite I'm feeling cranky rite now..
I dunno y..
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess..
So ya..

2008-06-14T00:09:00.002+08:00

Hey guys!

Before this blog starts to collect dust, let me just update a little on what's been happening in my life.

So far, life has been like a routine for me. What's more, I could only enjoy 2 to 3 days of school break and it's back to doing the tons of projects piled up for me. Gosh! Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

Oh let me share some wierd dreams I had these past few days.

Wierd Dreams
The first one is when I dreamt that I took my examination in a canteen. It was all pitch dark and only the row where I was sitting was lit up. For some reason. I decided to shift to a desk which is in the dark. After that, a random friend just walked by and I asked him "Could you turn the lights on for me" and he obliged and turned on the lights. Then, I woke up.

The next one is when I dreamt about the 2 Davids from American Idol. I was backstage, probably in a room and there's a gate at the corner of the room. The 2 Davids were chatting with each other. I was watching them when suddenly some yellow chicks (chicks meaning the young of the chicken, not the other chick. Haha!) just came running from the gate into the room.

The 2 Davids were caught by surprise and were giggling away trying to chase the chicks away. Suddenly, I fell down and felt somebody sitting on me. I could almost feel my spine breaking but I could not tell who it was as I didn't turn my head around. Then, I woke up. And guess what? It was 4am in the morning when I looked at the clock.

Also, I just made this up when thinking of my obssession for music since I listen to it most of the time.
M.O.D - Music Addiction Disorder. Haha!

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-06-10T18:18:00.001+08:00

New blogskin! And I'm happy! :D

2008-06-09T15:41:00.002+08:00

Hey guyz!

Nothing much to blog about. I'll just say that I have been slacking, relaxing, photoshop-ing, surfing the net and listening to music a lot (while watching tv to going to sleep). Tons of projects have to be done too. Hopefully all goes well.

Also, gonna change my blogskin. Soon. :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-06-07T00:17:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I wonder..
Like now..
Why I do certain things..
I'm not sure..
If this makes me happy..
Or am I just pretending..
To be happy..
Or just pleasing other people..
To make me feel at ease..
Or in the end..
Just to be ignored..
As if I never existed..

2008-06-06T02:29:00.004+08:00

Happy World Environment Day!

Hey guyz!

Finally the Common Test is over! Yay! A-ha! A-ha! Freedom! There's so many things I wanna do during the break. Haha! Well, I can only enjoy the break for a few days as there are tons of projects to complete before school reopens again. *sigh*

Anyway here's how I think I faired for the Common Test:

Management Accounting 2: screwed
Advanced Financial Accounting: screwed
Company Law: Managable
Taxation 2: Between screwed and managable
Auditing 2: Managable

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-06-02T12:23:00.002+08:00

One word to describe how I did for Common Test so far : screwed

2008-05-25T23:34:00.001+08:00

Itz gonna be one hectic week so I may not blog for quite a while since my Common Test is near. All the best to those who r taking the Common Test too!

Until here! Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-05-23T00:22:00.003+08:00

Let me just say CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVID COOK FOR BEING THE AMERICAN IDOL!

I must say, it was a really intense fight between the 2 Davids. Both Big David and Little David have shown their capabilities in their genre of music and have proven themselves why they were standing at the final stage of the competition. You can't really compare both of them as they are both unique in their own ways. David Cook is an amazing rock singer whereas David Archuleta is more towards pop, R&B and ballad. In my opinion, this season is the best of the best and would be an unforgettable one as the talent showcased is simply diversed and amazing.

David Archuleta! I'm so happy that you have shared your love for music to the world and for one thing, I'm feeling your love! You guyz might not believe it, but my heart was still pounding the whole day when I got the results! Now I'm feeling alrite and I'm being positive! It's alrite if you are the runner-up! I'm still your loyal, true fan! I wish you all the best in your singing career and I'm really looking forward to your debut album! I'll be sure to buy it! You can bet on it! One more thing. Get some sleep, David! You too, David! Haha! Have a well-deserved rest! :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-05-21T15:42:00.001+08:00

DAVID ARCHULETA FOR THE WIN! GO ARCHIE!

2008-05-17T14:44:00.003+08:00

Lyrics of "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg, sung by David Archuleta. I love it! :D

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

I'll bring fires in the winters
Youll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you..

Woo hoo! Long weekend! Yeah! Looking forward to a hopefully positive week next week. :)

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-05-16T00:49:00.002+08:00

First of all, let me just say CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH DAVIDS FOR MAKING IT TO THE FINAL 2!

American Idol would end next week with either David Archuleta or David Cook bringing home the title of the 7th American Idol. Of course, from my blog, you guys should know who I'm rooting for to win the title. Haha! Even so, both Davids are awesome in their own way! :D

I can't wait for next week. Hopefully, next week would be a good week with of course the American Idol Finale and other positive stuff since these past few weeks, I felt really depressed and down. Why? Tough modules, fierce competition, intelligence, headache. That basically summarises it. *sigh*

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

2008-05-11T02:10:00.002+08:00

Hello!

Alrite so here we go. I'll break my long chain of thoughts bit by bit so it won't be so cramped in one entry. Though I don't know if anybody reads my blog and feel as if I'm babbling to myself or something. Oh well. Moving on..

Alrite this might sound random but rainy days just makes me happy. I don't why. It's kind of wierd since this weather will make anyone feel naturally gloomy throughout the day but not me. Whenever dark clouds gather in the sky, I'll smile and say to myself, "It will be good today". So I guess it starts my day off pretty well and I'll be more content if it rains the whole day. I'll be totally happy and smiling from ear to ear. :)

Also, what I like about rainy days is I get to wear jackets. I just love wearing jackets. But it seems kind of impossible especially here at my place where it's always sunny all year around and it rains occasionally. Rainy days are great since you get to see rain falling from the sky and being cosy in your warm jacket when you walk outside with your umbrella, even so with your music in your ears. Gosh, what a feeling! :D

Congratulations David Archuleta for making it to the Top 3! You have my full support all the way! Soar to your best! :D

Alrite I shall stop here for now. You might get bored after reading this so I don't blame ya. It's just me expressing what I feel in my heart. :)

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out!

2008-05-09T01:03:00.003+08:00

There's so many things I wanna blog about but I just don't seem to have the time. Itz kinda late now and I have school tomorrow. I'll try by best to squeeze some time to blog.

*Locks thoughts in brain*

Until here then. For now. Nash out! :D

there's just not enough time to do everything you want to do..

2008-05-03T11:47:00.006+08:00

Hey guyz!

School's been hectic. It's been really stressful and been driving me bonkers. And it's only been a few weeks since school started. Goodness. Hopefully, the coming weeks would be better.

Oh, I found something interesting yesterday. My previous tutor from my previous semester told me I have a cool demeanour. Haha! I didn't know her perception of me was like that. That improved my day yesterday. :)

David Archuleta sang "America" and "Sweet Caroline" this week as it was Neil Diamond week. However, he only recorded the studio version of "Sweet Caroline". Funky! Here are the lyrics:

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

Ahh! Brooke White is out! I can't believe this! I love her and David! *sigh*

Anyway, I just want to wish Brooke all the best in everything she does in the future and I believe she'll be successful in her singing career. I'll be sure to grab her album if she makes it in the future. Cheers! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D
