back to basics

went to watch my first ever live music concert- by my all time favourite-CHRISTINA AGUILERA!

it was awesome! SHE IS THE REAL DEAL !!!!! her vocals! OH MY GOD!!!! IT'S FOR REAL!!!!!!!! I always thought it was easy for her in recording studio, but the way i see it, she's can do it anywhere and anytime... i'm totally blown away...

well, i bought the 148$ seats.. which was not as good as compared to the standing or 348$ seats.. Had to switch between the 'live' part and the wide screen... haha, it's a concert leh! so is supposed to watch the person, not the screen mah... lesson learnt-definitely gg to get better seats next time... hopefully kelly clarkson will come...

Started with a video of her getting ready and dressed up. Then came out for her opening song, Ain't No Other Man.. She was in white for like her the concert, with a few add-ons during different songs.. very innovative i muz say, it's either a slip on tt was gold, or the lacey black pants, and some silver vest... then there was the 'Welcome' song, where her dancers were dressed like ppls from the circus, with swings and fire batons.. tt was actually one of my fave songs in the concert... OH, i rmb the part where she took a towel and wiped her sweat and then threw it into the crowd... damn. i wldn't mind tt... haha

oh, i was soooo happy tt she sang songs from her previous albums- the 2 songs 'come on over' and 'wat a girl wants' were sung in different versions. it's like a version made to suit her new image, more big band than popish.it took me quite some time to figure out wat the title was though i knew it wasn't from back to basics.. she did lady marmalade too!!!! then there was 'beautiful' and 'fighter' which was her last song... She sang quite alot from back to basics... the whole crowd went wild when she sang Candyman! she is soooooooooooo HOT! OHOH! the dancers!!! also extremely hot!!! though i can't see them, they were really good dancers!!!! HOT & SEXY!!!

and i was hoping she wld wear some nice white dress and sing 'the right man', which she didn't... I thought the concert was kinda short... but still, i'm really happy i went.. her first concert here after releasing 3 albums... OH! i muz mention the way she pronouce singapore.. i was like normal 'singa', then PORE in a PORE-OR way.. haha.. abit strange i felt.. oh well... i realised alot of ang mohs who bought their kids along.. like - OMG!!! tt muz be like $1000! for the whole family la!

took like 2 hrs to reach home, cos the bus arrived 30min late, and the traffic was totally congested with ppls who went to watch the final match-spore vs aus. so, the bus ride was like 45min long instead of the usual 10min... haha, i was juz telling a fren, there were 3 grps of ppls in spore today - the ones who went for the christina aguilera concert, those who went to watch the soccer match, and not forgetting the rest who shopped til they drop before gst increases tmr.

i feel soooo good.... if only can get christina's autograph or better still take a pic... SIGH...

getting it right

I am soooo BROKE. Spent on the following:
1) 150$ for 2nd cheapest tix to Christina Aguilera's concert
2) 150$ for continuation of tennis lessons
3) need to pay 100$ for class fund+PT uniform+the stupid goniometer...
tt's why, for the month of july and maybe august, i have decided to come up with my list of priorities as to wat to do and wat NOT to do

1) MUG. tt's it, one more mth to anat prac. no joke k! that, and physio, socio and life science...
2) NOT SHOP UNNECCESSARILY. which means i won't be gg out to shopping malls for the purpose of shopping.
3) EAT CHEAP. one meal a day in sch will do. and if i'm meeting up with the rest, i shall either order the cheapest, or juz have the meal at home first b4 meeting them, so i can juz order a drink at the restaurant. [so cheapskate. i noe. wat to do?]
4) CONTINUE WITH TENNIS LESSONS. well, i've paid the money, so kinda no choice lor... A good way to sorta make sure my i dun get rusty, and hopefully, can learn new stuff like drop shots or backhand slice.. but most prob, after this 8 sessions, i will not continue learning..
5) LESS TV! ya, tt will take place after wimbledon...HAHA.. oh, and i shan't watch the 7pm drama cos it's not as interesting as the 9pm one...
6) GET A JOB!!!! ok, this is supposed to be one of the 'higher priorities' but, i'm still not sure how i'm gg to fit a job into my schedule. Most prob will take up tuition, tho i'm REALLY RELUCTANT. the money i earned is so tt my mum can reduce my pocket money + a portion to be saved for aus conversion + shopping after august.
7) GO GYM/RUN MORE OFTEN. again, this is pretty tough cos if i do take up tuition, i'll have less time to go exercise.
8) STICK TO THIS LIST. duh!

i can't decide as to whether i shld continue learning squash anot. afterall, it's not exactly considered a CCA... i dun think so lor, they juz wan us there to collect our money only-.-

young, naive and innocent - or simply, juz DUMB

I was on my way to ps when a well-dressed, good-looking guy approached me. He wanted to do a survey. He asked if i was meeting a fren and said it'll juz take a short while. He asked questions abt my shopping expenditure and where i usually shop at... So I tot it seems like a pretty simple survey, and i took a seat with him at the designated area(in the mrt). Then, he went on to ask abt my awareness on savings and i was like 'ya, i do save...(blah blah blah). And then he went on and on about saving at a correct institution.The amt of interests over dunno how many years.. At that point of time, i didn't realise that the shopping survey had swayed away and went on to savings plan. Ya, but somehow i didn't feel uncomfortable cos the guy was very friendly, easy going, funny at times, and not to mention-good-looking. It was until he revealed that he was there to do some promotion and get ppls to register, did i notice that he's actually a prudential guy. I can't believe i didn't notice that tag hanging ard his neck the whole time( i think it went on to 30 min?! i can't believe i sat there for soo long!)!! And to think it was supposed to be a shopping survey..Oh well, i told him i gotta consult my mum cos i wasn't savvy abt this sorta savings plan and my mum prob won't be too happy if i actually paid 70 bucks for it's registration. I apologised for wasting his time, though i thought he shld also do the same for wasting mine.


Still, despite all that, it was nice to have a conversation with him. Oh, and he was so smart/lucky, that when i told him i was studying in nyp, he was like ' so, u're taking physio..?' Like, how the hell did he have guessed it? out of soo many courses, and i wasn't holding my anatomy book... Apparently, i got the 'undergrad look'... NICE. haha... which prob meant i dun look kiddish, yet not mature-looking enuf to be a working adult.. And he was really good-looking, so at a point when he said if i signed up with him, he'll be my advisor for the next 25 yrs which mean we'll have ALOT of contact.. i was like, "i like the idea man!" HEHE....


Anyway, i've learnt my lesson. I shall nv stopped to entertain these ppls...

Can't make up my mind!

Almost done with my part of the ppt. But i think it looks rather -no substance. Oh well, i'll see what i can do with it tmr.

Will be joining the jc ppls for dinner later. Looking forward, yet having slight reluntance. I realised i've been very 'unsettled' these couple of weeks or so. Like, when i'm mugging, i'll look forward to gg out, shopping and hanging out wif my frens. But when i'm actually out wif my frens or doing things i like, i feel kinda guilty cos i feel like i'm neglecting my studies. Well, that's probably because i didn't study 'properly', so i'll feel the constant 'err.. dunno wat's the word'. Also, like while i was happily enjoying the tennis session on tue late noon, i can't help feeling the need to hurry up and finish off so i can rush home to study. But of course i didn't, cos i was way too tired and sleepy, i end up sleeping at 9.15pm!!!!

There's alot of things to touch on before the study break ends. So many phsyio topics and weird unheard of terms to familiarise with. Then there's kine prac, which i'll need to go back to sch to prac... Not forgetting the SHS presentation which i hope i can juz get away with it.. *oops!*

Btw, i think i've gained weight. SERIOUSLY. i eat noodles 2 outta 3 meals, and recently, have been eating instant noodles for supper. not to mention i also eat 3 quater of the entire chocolate bar tt my cousin bought back from overseas. And the only excercise i did in the past 2-4 weeks was a less than 100 sit-ups and a 1.5hrs of tennis session. i'm soooo dead.

it's a B!

i know i'm 19yrs old and have been thru like 12 yrs of education, tests and examinations, passing poorly and failing badly. But it really sucks that i got a B for the socio mcq test. Cos i did study for it pretty thoroughly. To make matters worse, most of the others ppls got an A. DAMN. i know i know.. it's juz a small test tt takes up like 30-40%. But still... i can't help feeling a sense of disappointment. And it did kinda made me worry tt the life sci test, which i thought was easy, i may not do so well after all. Well, let's not mention the biomec test then...


And yes, i know i've seen and met different types of ppls throughout these 12 yrs of schooling, but there're still ppls who UPON knowing tt i got a B, says "i got a A, but i'm still like upset cos i dunno exactly how much i score". Her comment is totally fine, cos it juz kinda re-emphasize on the impression i had on her.


Our class went to play badminton and volleyball after the test. It didn't start out well, cos i was playing against a girl who had too much stamina. SO basically she was juz smacking the shuttlecock at every opportunity. WHICH made me look really bad. But it's didn't really matter cos it's her. Anyway, after which we switched partners and i was able to enjoy the game more cos the rallies were longer:)


Back to the socio test with a below average grade of a B- I've sorta come to terms with the fact tt it's only 30%, and hopefully i can make up for lost marks in the final paper. Well, of course i have to think optimistically like perhaps i was only 1 mark away from A... HAHA.


IT'S NO BIG DEAL!!!

coming to my own terms.

Life Law 8:
We teach people how to treat us

a) You must own, rather than complain about, how people treat you

b) Remember the principle of reciprocity:
You get what you give. You should never expect people to give you something that you are unwilling to give yourself

to everyone - juz ponder over it. and make sense out of it. :)
