Hah! It has been ages since I've blogged. O levels and stuff are merely excuses.. In actual fact, I'm just plain lazy!!! Anyway, I'm here just to 'celebrate' about me finally getting a job! I went job hunting with Regina few days ago.. Can you believe we practically went to every store in amk hub asking for a job!!! Thinking back, it is rather a memorable experience because our legs were sore from all the walking. Not to mention the gym workout prior to the job hunt.

So tomorrow, lucky me shall start my work :) And I can't wait for PAYDAY!!! That's when Unique and I shall start our retail therapy! lols. Fancy thinking about money when I've not even started working.. Anyway, I have to wear all black to work. And I don't exactly like 'all black' attire. I look as if I'm on my way to a funeral... *Touchwood*
I'm having fun with mixing and matching my wardrobe though. Ranging from chiffon to satin, I've got it all :D

Just a few minutes ago, I tried on the set of clothes I'm goning to wear tomorrow. I simply can't believe the what I saw in the mirror. I looked real mature, as if I am 20 plus of age. It was a total transition.. from the teenage look to the New York chic kinda look. hehe. I said N.Y because that's the place where you'll find many people in all black attire.

Actually, I miss colours!!!
If I were to see someone on the street with an all black attire, I'll be like 'Get a life man.. You lack colours!!!' But now, I'm becoming the all black one too. Nevermind... as long as I'll get the pay that I deserve, I'll bear with it for just a little while. Ok, maybe not 'just a little while'. Just 2 months!!! Hang in there Madelene!

Here's an advice to those who are desperate for a job: Try every single store in the shopping mall!!! You'll bound to get one! Meanwhile, you can chill out for just a little while. Best of luck!:)
especially to Regina!^.^

It has been ages since I've blogged and that's a fact that I can't deny. The reason behind blogging again.. well, I'm not exactly gonna blog that often but when i feel like doing so =D Let's just make this post a succinct one. My main objective is to share with you people about the big hoo-ha over 21st december 2012. Does the date sounds familiar? In fact, the day itself is also predicted as 'Doom's day' whereby the Earth will be destroyed. Sounds surreal right? Watch these videos and find out.
Until 21 dec 2012 shall we know what fate has in store for all of us, earthlings. Video: Credit goes to my bro for giving me the website. And for sharing with me this piece of news which got me so intrigued. Just the night before my chinese o levels. Seriously, at that point in time, I was wondering about the reason behind all the examinations and stuff. What's the point of studying if the world is gonna end in 4 years' time? But then again, who knows if the world will REALLY end...
We shall just have faith and give it our best shot in whatever we do. When the day comes, at least we'll not have any regrets. Live everyday to the fullest!

2008-04-27T17:10:00.002+08:00

Well, this entire month hasn't really been a breeze for me. My workload is overwhelming these days. So many things to do, yet so little time. I really look up to those who can juggle their cca, schoolwork, leisure... and still be able to enjoy everyday. I shall aspire to be like them ^^ Whatever comes in my way, i'm gonna face it positively and give THE BEST! super teens.. lols.

It's tiring work but all of us are GIVING THE VERY BEST! superteen.. again. heh. I have faith that this Melizo is gonna a real hit!!! oh man, i can't wait for march=) though there's gonna be mt prelims...

Hey ppl, I'm finally back to blogging=D I must say that although this trip was a really draining one, I enjoyed it=) Because of all the people!!! Everyone rocks x) And i kinda broke my own record. I slept like a pig once i came home.. like 17h?? I was liked wow-ed by my own abilities; to be able to sleep so LONG.. somehow, I'm feeling kinda neutral now. It seems like a miracle that I was able to go hk and everything seemed like a dream.. But then I'm kinda back to reality now.. You know that kinda feeling sucks, big time. Now that I'm back to square one, I'm feeling quite lost. Procrastinating again. Unique, slap me!!! I shouldn't be doing this again. Or I'll be just wasting my time.. Can't wait for choir on fri!!! I MISS CHOIR!!! hehe x)

A little bit no link.. but then, who cares?. Just crapping away=DD

But on the brighter side, I have other really good friends to accompany me through this long holi.. Not exactly long right? One more month.. but then I'm gonna spend it fruitfully. Live live to the fullest. I wanna thank everyone who had enriched my life!! To those who have been through all the bad times with me, i'll like to say that I really appreciate that=) I dunno why am I in the kinda 'thanking people' mood.. lols. I'll also like to thank Eliz, Evon, Anqi, Huiting, Gene,... and all those who have gone to hk and those friends that I've made in hk for adding colours to my life^^ And to unique, dun be sad la.

2007-11-10T23:52:00.000+08:00

Yesterday afternoon about 4 plus, I made my way to Bugis Junction to meet my cousin for the Luo Zhi Xiang's concert autograpgh session. The crowd was really.. And luckily we made it to the front queue with the help of some guy. Don't really know who he was but then again, without his help, I definitely couldn't have made it to vivo in time. So here's a BIG thank you to whoever that is. Heard from my cousin that he queued at 10 in the morning. That was really.. And the weather was terrible that day. Exceptionally terrible. It was so dry and so sunny; even the wind was not cooling, in fact, the wind made matter worse.. because it was warm..

I seriously thought that I looked kinda cool that day^^ I was wearing my pink hat, the fake two-layered fox top in black and white with a pair of Jeans and my Jap style shoulder bag. hehe.. What kind of style do you consider that? Not exactly street style.. more of american chic style? lols.. Shouldn't bore you guys with these..

Ok, back to my story. The crowd was so huge that I couldn't find my cousin. Maybe it was due to not wearing specs. But then.. hmm.. u get what I mean don't you? I was walking from the bus stop at the next street and halfway through my journey, I could already see the queue. So the queue was practically as long as two streets?? I was like an odd ball walking through the queue, finding my cousin.. I could feel that all eyes were on me. Maybe I do look a little weird. Didn't really blend in with the majority's attire I guess. So I found my cousin after a while.. But that's not the end of story. I couldn't get in the queue as the had barricade the area. Thus, I stood near my cousin and started texting away, trying to be.. cool?? Actually, deep down I was freaking out. My self-esteem plunged right down immediately. Just then, I saw my auntie. She was signaling to me to make a detour round to McDonalds so that I could wait there and join the queue afterwards. Hehe.. I was really lucky. I didn't have to sit on the floor like the norms. In fact, I was sitting comfortably on a chair, reading the korean guidebook with music blasting into my ears=DD

Maybe I should fast foreward.. Or this post will take me ages. I still wana watch my korean drama!!! If you are really interested in the details, you can go ahead and ask me though it might take quite a while. So we waited and waited till about 7.35, Show made his way up the stage and everyone started screaming, just like always.. The host for the autograph session made us say 'Xiao zhu ni ming hao, gan dong ler tian' And I was like -.- cus I didn't know what it meant. People starting snapping away.. Even I did=) Though I wasn't really a BIG BIG fan of him. But I guess he was ok=) Here are the photos that I've taken: (PS: Wei shan, hope that u'll like them^^)

I stood on my toes to take them=D Cus I wanted to prevent having photos of people's heads, cameras etc. Some shots ain't too bad right? x) Show signed the his concert ticket and a poster pls a handshake. The poster was humongous!!! But his signature was kinda small.. I sort sort of flustered when I was up on stage.. Really a malu experience.. Here it goes:

I thought that most people shook with their right hands. Thus, I sling my camera round my left hand instead.. When I've noticed that he shook handw with people using his left hand instead of his right cus he was holding onto the pen with his right hand, I quickly slung the camera strap round my right hand.. And guess what?? His hand was like already in the handshake position, waiting for me when I did that.. I was like so malu.. zzz. Terrible experience.. However, I must admit that it was kinda nice of him to wait=)) And he's quite good-looking up close.. And also from a far.. lols..

I dunno if it's my personal opinion or it's a fact.. He does not seem to be as noisy and as extrovert as he was on screen. In reality, he's more.. 'normal'. Maybe this time round it was an exception? Bad day?? Nvm..

After that, I went to Vivo to watch 'The Seeker' with Jessica. Wasn't as good as 'Star Dust' but it was fine. It should be due to my hunger that I've not enjoyed the show. I only had a few pieces of biscuits for breakfast, a wafer and a curry puff for lunch and nothing for dinner. A hungry man is an angry man.. I guess that applies to me. So after the movie, we went to Burger King and a gobbled down a Mushroom Swiss burger=) It was delicious and I savoured every bite of it! Can't wait to have it again.. The juicy taste of beef and mushrooms still linger in my mouth.. Yummy!!!

I gotta get back to my korean drama now. I'm watching 'Lovers' now. Not too bad I guess.. You can try it if you want=D A great drama like 'Coffee Prince' can really make my day. I still awaiting for another 'Great Drama'.. lols

Will update with loads of photos when I'm back from hk.. Maybe even some videos.
Till then...

2007-11-03T21:36:00.000+08:00

Despite my current mood, I've decided to blog again. Or some people will start whining at me again^^ no offence, but i seriously hate people who whine A LOT. Though i am someone who whines a lot. So i hate myself? o.O doesn't make any sense.. Nevermind.

Anyway, I've gotten back my report book today and has gone through ehem.. a little conversation with miss yeo, with regards to me being late.Basically, Jeanetta called and asked about the time to be in our classes to collect our report books yesterday night. I told her that we were supposed to report at 9am and that I'm definitely gonna be late( in a jokingly way; cus everyone knows that I'm ALWAYS late)

Guess what, I really did woke up late this morning; I woke up at 8.30am instead of 7am.. For no reason whatsoever, I called Unique and told her that I'm in deep shit and she said that I might be able to make it on time. Thus, I happily took my own sweet time, thinking that everything will turn out fine and left my home at 9am. And I reached school at 10am, ie. 1h late. Made my way up to the staff room after a short conversation with Eliz. After dialing miss yeo's number, I waited, and waited, AND WAITED.. and finally, after about a good 10min or so, she finally make her way out. I'm still wondering if she did that on purpose o.O, to let me get a taste of my own actions.. Who knows.. lols.

Then came the lecture part..(she thought that I was late on purpose cus Jeanetta told her that I was gonna be late. I WAS JOKING!!! I wasn't late on purpose.. But do you think miss yeo will believe me??) Luckily it wasn't that long. I didn't shoot at her. In fact, I just smiled and shrugged it off. She ended off with something like "Next time better be punctual"

Sigh. I always have this major problem with being on time. Though I've improved by quite a bit x)

Here comes the result part: I HATE MYSELF FOR SCREWING UP THIS EOYs. My results TOTALLY SUCK big time. Apart from my languages.. All of the rest, especially both of my maths, and PHYSICS, AND GEO.. Sucks. It's extremely terrible this time. I've NEVER EVER done so badly in my entire life. I'm gonna mug on physics (waves, moments) and do my maths during this holiday. I am determined to do a whole lot better!!!

Okay.. apart from the studying part, I'll set some time aside for leisure. "Work hard, play hard". It's cliche.. I know, but I think this will apply for me. so what am I really into these days??
-se7en ^^ (cus I like his songs and I thought that he acted quite well in Goong S)

-coffee prince (this drama rocks BIG time!!! Eun Yun Hye acts like a guy in this show. Her hair is SUPER short. The best part? I like the humour. And it's NOT draggy)

-music (the singing part PLUS the listening part; all sorts of music. Ranging from classical to heavy metal..) But I still like pop and rock and r&b and wadever.. I listen to all kinds of music. And I like all sorts of them x)

Here's a mv of a song sung by se7en. It's really sweet and touching=) Hope you will enjoy this song..
Ps: remember to pause the background music=)

How was it? His singing ain't too bad right? The two kids are so cute^^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pictures of the Korean drama, coffee prince=))

she's still cute right? lols.. That's all for this post. I shall post many many pics of hk after my trip=)
To those who didn't do that well, here's a quote for you:
Our history is not our destiny.-Alan Cohen

Therefore, never succumb to failures. Never be afraid to fail. All the best!! Make full use of this holiday to get your fundementals right. Jiayous!! Basshya!!

That also applies to me^^ hehe..

2007-09-16T00:55:00.000+08:00

Let's hope for a more cheerful post this time round=)

Really had fun on fri. But the bad thing is that i'm having a bad bruise on two of my knees. Speaking of that, let me relate the whole story.. Unique was teaching me some Jap phrases during chinese lesson. And after class, i kinda forgot part of the first phrase.. so i went outside to find her. There she was crapping with ppl from 303 and i tried to catch her attention by talking to her while i walk towards her. All thanks to the plastic thingy(used to tie the fri newspapers!!!) beside the dustbin, I fell flat onto the ground-.- It was such an embarrassing experience.. ppl were giggling away.. lols And guess what,I can remember the phrase vividly in my mind now. It's "kah ji meh ma shi teh" and it meant nice to meet u?? or was it how are u.. nvm..

Fun was at its peak during champion's DAY. Choir people were totally highx) We kept on screaming and ppl kept looking at us. But who cares right? As long as we have fun!! And we received TROPHIES instead of a certificates. lols. I was over the moon when i saw those trophies=DD But seriously, it doesn't really matter, does it? We've put in tons of effort for the syf 2007,really enjoyed the process, and have gotten gold. So even without the trophies, i'll still be satisfied=) As the saying goes, 'it's the process that really matters'. And i totally agree with that though it's kinda cliche. hehe..

I think i'll be going on a hiatus. Gotta mug, mug and MUG!!! Cus i'm determined to do well this time round! Though i think i won't be able to score well for amaths. Oh yea, let me leak out some info with regards to the setter ofthe maths paper. My teacher aka Miss Yeo, is setting 1 the amaths paper. And it'll be tough.. i guess. Cos it's always tough papers that she set, even the class tests. So be mentally prepared ppl, for a raging war. lols.. But for now, take care!!=)

BEST of luck to everyone for the upcoming EOYs!!! You'll need it x) There're gonna be many KILLER papers this time round. Physics, maths, history, geography.. All the best ppl!! JIAYOUS!! BASSHYA!!=)

ps: does anyone knows if we r getting a formula list for maths this time round?? If you know, by any chance, pls tag!! Kamsahamnida!

2007-08-18T20:36:00.000+08:00

Look at me
Do you think you see
Who i really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday
It's as if i play apart
now i see
if i wear a mask
i can fool the world
but i cannot fool my heart..

Suddenly felt that the lyrics of the song Reflection is kinda associated with my life right now. Really.. Maybe that is why i can put across the feelings of this song well..

Today is my birthday.. i'm not trying to announce to the whole world.. Just that why can't it be an ordinary day?? Why must you butt in and ruin it?? WHY CAN'T IT BE A NICE MEMORABLE ONE?? every other day is already bad. Why on earth do you wanna make it worse? I dunno.. I think i'm on the verge of breaking down. You know what?? I HATE YOU!!! Because of you, my life sucks. Period. How great it would be without your presence. Your presence makes me feel very STRESS OUT! why do you keep placing emphasis on my terrible results? Don'y you know that i wanna do well? I'm trying.. really.. But what do you expect from me when i can hardly concentrate with all your shoutings and all? One has already left you. Can't you learn from your mistakes? I know that you hate to admit it; you are regretting that you allowed him to move over didn't you?? Now that you have minimal contact with him, you're trying to make your relationship with him work? Let me tell you something. Once bitten twice shy. Do you expect him to come running back to you?? He has endured for such a long time.. And finally, just this year, he's able to break away. I envy him. I wanna go too. I love my grandparents more than you. Seriously, i think you SUCK. Almost all of my good days are ruined by you..

One day.. when i cannot endure any longer, i'm gonna go too. To somewhere without you. To somewhere so peaceful, so serene. And to somewhere where is filled with so much more love.. Do you know why the hell i'm stuck in my room at this moment?? It's all because of the piano and all my precious belongings. Especially my piano. My love for music has made me stayed. Not you. One fine day, I should really pack up, and leave. Go on to a place. My grandparents place.. though its only two blocks away, it's like a mile. I enjoyed every second there. I hate to leave and go back to a prison cell. I also wanna break free.

I can already imagine a world without you. I'll be able to excel so much more. I shall not have any more distractions. I wanna break free... I really wanna do so..

Maybe i'm too naive.. I was hoping for a change in you. I was hoping to be able to see you in better light. But i can't. If i excel in my studies, i'm gonna go on a scholarship. Somewhere far away. And i'm not gonna miss you. I'll have a job which will ensure that i'm always far from you. Say a pilot? I wanna live that dream. The other one is far too impossible. If the other one works out, I'll definitely go for it. If it doesn't i wanna be a pilot. I'll get myself a house. And live my life. Without you.

As for now, I just wanna fall into a deep sleep.. And hope that tomorrow will be a better day; i'll be able to escape from you. I need the peace. I need the serenity. It's essential for my well-being..

Just a piece of advice for you.. If you continue to be in this way, you'll lose everything. Everything that makes up your life..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And to those whom have sent their birthday greetings, i thank you=)Special thanks to Vivian and Royson for the cute turtle, to Gracie for the wnderful words of encouragement on the card. And to all who had brighten up my life. Especially Jessica=), for always being there for me and being my best friend. And for the great high school musical scores. I'm so gonna learn the songs and play it for you. Last but not least, to Unique, Eliz, Wendy, and to all my dear friends in school, Thank You!!!

Like normal, it has been ages since i've blogged. but then i'll try my best to not let my blog rot. Rhymes? hehe.. Many special events has been happening this few weeks. Events that I shall remember for eternity=) ie. The ASEAN dance 2007=) ( really a lot of dancing involved!) and the upcoming concerts; Eliz's piano teacher's concert which is on this Sunday & Victoria Chorale concert, featuring Mr Yong=DD lols.. and i've gotten flu... sad=(

Here are some photos taken during the dance [from KaiHong=)]

Apart from the glitz and glamour of life, there's also the no-so-enjoyable side. I've got like quite a few test next wk. There's eng test, Chem SPA and geo test. And as for the tests that I've taken recently, I've gotta feeling that I'm gonna flunk A.maths trigo test. Yet another flunking MATHS paper.. I had a major mind block on that day.. As for the chem test that i've taken today, i'm not so confident of it.. Cus the questions are weirdly phrased. Had quite a bit of trouble figuring out what it was asking for.. Considered mind block?? I think i dun really like and get 'The mole'.. Oh yea, I'm so not looking forward to the A.maths FURHTER TRIGO test.zzz.. I CAN'T GET IT!!! * Pulls hair in frustration!!*

nvm.. I shall keep my cool. ehem..x) This sat i should be going to watch Secret with Jessica=D This is her 2nd time watching it.. She said it was really very nice=) so I have high hopes of the movie!! lols. 'zhi chi' Jay Chou^.~ afterall, it's his first time as a director. Wait, not only director.

Recently, i've been feeling very down. With all those stress from my homework and stuff, it seems that i'm on the verge of breaking down soon. It's really frustrating!! I was hoping to do well for my maths test (binomial).. but i flunk it. And it's so bad.. Just so bad. Period. 9/35, what on earth am i doing?!! I'm all screwd up=/ Though i kinda enjoy trio a lot.. Werid of me?? Ppl HATE trigo, but somehow i find pleasure doing the sums. Maybe not all, but some of them=D And i like physics!! Though i'm still kinda lost at waves.. I'm really NOT ordinary. I like stuff which most ppl dreads.. I feel like an alien on earth??

The bicultural exchange was absoultely FUN! Made lots of new friends; both singaporeans and ppl from hk. Can't wait to visit hk. But that is only gonna happen if i pass WITH FLYING COLOURS.. I doubt my parents will allow me to even step into the airport and onto any aeroplane. **SOBS**T.T I miss aeroplanes!! I miss the food!! I miss the seat beside the windows which gave me a bird's eyeview of Singapore. What more about the scenic sunset that filled the skies with different shades of warmth x)

right.. NOW, I'm MOTIVATED to do well!! The trip to hk is too irresistable! May that spur me on!! Jiayou!!!

2007-07-19T19:30:00.000+08:00

lols. it has really been ages. since i updated. heh.. so tml the hk people are coming. wonder if it'll be nice having them around. Look on the bright side, be OPTIMISTIC!! It'll be another new adventure, though it'll be tough on me.. and eliz. ESP us.. Pity us, a lot cus we're gonna be busier than the normal ppl during this wkend. Guess what. People from hong kong are not called hong kongers. They are called HONGKIES. erm, maybe i spelt it wrongly, but it's pronounced as HONG-KEE-S x) let's hope for the best..=/

2007-06-14T23:46:00.000+08:00

Hais.. I'm dead beat right now. Another day gone. I sound really pessimistic eh? And i feel so. My days were spent cooping up at home all day for three whole miserable weeks. As for the last week, it seems that nothing is gonna change. Just hope that I'll be able to finish all my homework in time. I'm left with a big deal of it, and i absolutely meant it. I've only finished 1 compre and bits and pieces of the reading article. I can already illusion the homework stagging up. Anxiety waits me, unless I chiong my way through. Really chiong!! or I'll land myself into hot soup.

You must be thinking what have I been doing this whole week. I also kinda lost myself. Slacking? Stoning? Both appears to be so. not??

Went to braces on Tuesday=) And I'm glad that my teeth has moved a tremendous lot=D ok, don't get too overjoyed. When i brushed my teeth or chew something, it hurts like-.- Even when I'm sleeping, I can feel the immense pain. But it's still worth it. DEFINITELY!!! I'm contradicting myself again.. Ignore that. And after the visit, it was raining, and I forgot. to bring an umbrella... I was really pissed. That was not how the day should, in fact, turn out. I was supposed to get home asap and chiong my hw. But guess what, I went home and slept. And my reason for sleeping was because of the good weather.. Can you believe it??!! I'm so pissed with myself. Yet again..

And today, ok, yesterday (take note of the time..12.08am!) went back to school for choir practise. Enjoyed it thouroughly. Apart from the I'm so tired thing. Sometimes, I just feel that I'm really old, like I'm hundred?? I get tired so easily and i sleep a LOT. Oh yea, so today, we've learnt to sing a bit of a new song using solfrage, without using the piano. Kinda tough in the beginning. However, gradually, I came to enjoy it=) *Sighs* Mr Yong gave hw.. zzz. And I think I'm gonna do them tomorrow, before I leave for school. Cus it's like so hard. You're supposed to learn the lyrics, in latin-.- and sing it with the solfrage hand actions, in tempo, and with good quality sound, of course, in tune. So many things to do, so little time. Luckily, it's only a bit. 2 pgs? The 2nd pg almost the same.

Latin is sure confusing in combo with the solfrage. Eg, the lyrcis says 'do'(pronounced as doe) and the note is like 're' (solfrage) So i never fail to get confused. I still prefer the learning with piano method. But I'll try. It'll come in handy someday. Like when a piano is out of tune/ when keyboard breaks down o.O

*eyelids drooping*; classical music in the background.. I better turn in soon. To be energised for tomorrow. Choir at 1-4. Hope the practise will turn out to be a good one. Or a great one x). Ciaos. Yawns.z.z

And rmbr to CHIONG HOMEWORK!!!! personal note to myself, hope you won't mind=/ MAD!! YOU BETTER DO YOUR HW ASAP!! NO MORE SLACKING!!!!

2007-06-13T14:36:00.000+08:00

Heys, here are the songs from the drama Nodame Cantabile. If you're into classical music, u'll definitely love this. I personally like the Beethoven 'Spring' violin solo, the Mozart duet for paino and the Mozart oboe solo=)) The Chopin etude is.. very.. fast.. way scary.. Anyway, enjoy!!

Just finished watching 200 pound beauty this afternoon. I felt that it's a great show!! For those who had watched it, they'll agree=) eliz? hehe.. And the songs are nice. The female lead's voice is way powerful!! Yet melodious too. Kudos to the song Maria. Meaningful lyrics sung by someone with a wonderful voice. What else can you ask for? Not just another pretty face with no talent, Kim Ah Jung deserves the credit!!(That's the actress name=))

Here's the lyrics for the song Maria=) And the whole ost.Enjoy!!

I spent the whole of last night reading this fab book; Love walked in. And yes, i didn't catch a wink. Like real.. I slept like log. But only at 4a.m. x) ok, so this is NOT a book review.. More of a book recommendation.. So hope this helps=) Having the same magical touch of fairy tale like PS I love you, this novel, Love walked in, by Marisa De Los Santos, is yet another worthy read. I agree that it is neither as touching as Nicholas Sparks nor as tear-weary Cecelia Adhern but still, it is beautifully written, with a hint of sacarcism. Yepp, i know the meaning of this word. It's for real.. This book shows you the meaning of 'love in every form'; romantic, friendship, between family members, and that it's all around us. A heart warming story is waiting to be unveiled, behind the oh so nice cover x) The cover ok.. the actual copy which i have is much nicer.. A charismatic man walked into a coffee shop and manages to make the manager of the coffe shop(a female, duh) swoon over him. Cliche eh? no, so not.. The encounter led Cornelia; the protagonist, to the ups and downs of life, and brought her to an temporary abandoned child who is in need of more love . The duo crosses path; Cornelia and the girl, Clara, and an improbable friendship is formed. Both helped one another to get on their feets once more after a fall in life. Sounds nice? Yes, isn't it? Then go and read it=D Tell me what ya think kaes? -Here's something to share with everyone- Real life didn't mean attaining one's heart desire, but knowing it, meant not the satisfaction, but the longing. Knowing what you love and why is as real as it gets. makes any sense? ps: read the book and you'll know Ciaos!=)

It has been like ages since i've blogged. And guess what, now i'm starting to blog again. Or i'll start to rot at home for a whole month.. Not that i've got nothing to do. Seriously, i've got tons of homework, piano practises, blah blah blah.. stuff to do. However, i just don't feel like doing those stuff. Apart from serious piano practise. For this week, or rather right after exams, I've been pratically practising everyday for at least an hour=) so i guess i've improved!! And i definitely need to improve a whole lot more.. My aim.. hehe.. Is to master Sundial Dreams (1st^.^), then i wanna learn classics.

Hopefully one fine day, my wish of mastering Chopin pieces.. will come true o.O wishful thinking, u may say.. but one day, I will be able to do it!!! that day will come in 10 years time i think -.- but i'll try=D

Another thing i'm into since the start of the holiday is watching dramas, dramas and more dramas. I've finish Nodame Cantabile. And that show is seriously a MUST for all music lovers!! apart from those who do not know how to appreciate dramas ie. unique=.=

Nodame Cantabile is a Jap anime made into drama kinda stuff. I think the plot is quite good. Better than Taiwan dramas by quite a bit=D It's about music. And if u're a musician, u should watch this show, esp if u're a pianist. Cos this show will MOTIVATE u to play the piano well!!! You'll be so amazed by the piano pieces in the show.. And this show also shows the importance of teamwork. Though it might sound a bit cliche, it's a good show which drama-lovers should not miss!

You can watch this show at http://www.crunchyroll.com

Just register; it's free

And then activate ur acc; email

Then go and search for NODAME CANTABILE=)) *thumbs UP*

oh yea.. it's under thr 'live action'.. not the anime one

Madelene.. presenting Nodame Cantabile^.^

ahh.. drools x) so shuai.. lols.. *twinkling*

That's all for now=) ciaos!
