I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you






Christmas was great! I love my presents. I love the food. I love the joy. I love the season. I love the reason for the season. I love the happiness!

Was out of my mind wf boredom. Youtube provides entertainment when you're in dire need of it! Let's start from here~



This video is quite famous nowadays in fb or twitter. Once in a while, I'll see a few friends post this video. Anw, the 2nd one's from this cool and genius guy! I was reminded of Glee's version of Teenage Dream while watching this.



Hahahaha, really cool. Okay, I'm gonna go get the room ready for my aunt and her kids to stay over. Finally, something productive to do, even if doing chores is a bore. But at least I'm doing something. Right. BYE.

Omg la I saw something which made me so so so happy but also made me cry.

CLICK HERE TO SEE!!!

AHHHH!! Please please let Damon & Elena be togetherrrrrr. Yes, Stefan is good. But Stefan & Elena is like Edward & Bella. Well, not ridiculously mushy but it's just mushy. & Damon & Elena just SCREAMS 'overflowing CHEMISTRY' and seeing their scenes make my heart beat frantically (Stefan & Elena's break-up only made my heart twitch) because I love it when Damon gets sensitive as it's such a rare thing for that to happen and Elena is always the one who brings out the best in him.

Furthermore, Damon compelling Elena was like what Julie Plec said. It's something like "I don’t even want you to know this because I don’t even want you to think about it. I don’t want it to even be out on the table as an option or a possibility. I just need to get it off my chest. I need to have said it once, and then we’ll both go on like it never happened.” WHICH WAS SRSLY SO SELFLESS, GOSH. Major big difference in Damon!! Okay, gonna stop rambling now. It's just that I tend to rant or ramble whenever I'm feeling sad/frustrated/angry. Argh. Off to watch the clip for the 27th time. Heh.

Christmas is coming! Hohohoho. Excited maxxxxx.

Have I mentioned how awesome my mom is? Heh. Gosh, she's such an awesome cook. Ironically, her daughter has such terrible culinary skills. Tsktsk. & she offered to finally teach me how to cook! HAH! My f&n teacher will be utterly gobsmacked once she sees such unbelievable improvement! I have no problems with baking but only with cooking western or other modern dishes. Oh wellzx.

Anw do vote for your fave actors/actresses/singers/band/tvshows @ peopleschoice.com! Voting is limitless & I've been voting for Emma Watson, Ian Somerhalder, TVD & Katy Perry twice to thrice a week. Supportive right! Tsk.

I was bored. Came across Anna's blog and she got this name meaning post and I thought it might be fun. So I googled my name's own meaning. This is for fun & I'm not superstitious. Tsk.

Joanne Name Meaning:
Gender: Girl
Origin: English
Historical Meaning: God is gracious

Numerological meaning:

Potential: Marketer - Expression / Destiny Number 5
- Positive: Endowed with wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility, Joanne can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in her drive to attain this freedom, Joanne will likely be master of adaptibility and change. Joanne is good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what Joanne wants. Naturally, this gives Joanne an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Her popularity may lead Joanne toward some form of entertainment and amusement. Whatever Joanne does, Joanne is clever, analytical and a very quick thinker.

-Negative: Her restless and impatient attitude may keep Joanne from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes, Joanne can be rather erratic and scatter herself and her energies. Joanne has a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of routine. Joanne tends to react strongly if Joanne senses that her freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as they are, Joanne may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of her response is glib reaction rather than thoughtful application. Joanne is in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Desire: Expression - Soul Urge Number 3.
Her desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. Joanne wants to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. Joanne wants to be in the limelight, expressing her artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be her thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing.

-Positive: Friendly, outgoing and always very social. Joanne has a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance. The 3 soul urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

-Negative: Joanne at times become too easygoing and too optimistic; tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults but the 3 soul urge doesnt appreciate these pointed out.

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

Geeeeeee, I eat dunkin' donuts everyday so far, eat fruits for snacks, eat those fastfood which exists in Philippines but not in Singapore, had Starbucks thrice, COS IT'S CHEAPER & was literally forced to eat even if I'm not hungry. :@

Anw, I'm glad to have reconciled with a good friend! Hohohohoho~ It sure was easy and conversation basically flowed like hyperly normal. ^^



Hehehehe, that night got me cracking wf so much laughter. The next day, my grandma was asking why I was laughing and smiling when I was using the laptop. Heh!

Anyway, last night I dreamt about being bombarded with kisses from all my friends. Oh geeee, my reactions in the dream were almost the same as reality. When I got bombarded wf kisses from my team-mates before flying off, I complained and sulked and sulked some more. Not that I hate actions of affection but my friends know that I'm quite violent, fierce and highly reactive in nature and know that I'm not so mushy. But still, that's touching. 8') looking at those kissy pictures make me either snicker or glare at it. Tsk! They're @ fb btw.

Off to eat more food. The pau here taste rlly great!! I think my friends are evil. They gave me a green bikini as my present and when I'm back at sg, I don't even know if I can wear it alr. Pfft.

Awww, cute ttm! I love Emma Watson & Tom Felton. Even though I'm not a total fan of the Harry Potter books, I've watched a few movies since they're starring at the movies and also loved Hermione and Draco.

This evening, Jeff & Weiquan treated me @ Newyork, newyork! Today was awesomeee! Flying off tomorrow! Hohohoho, can't wait to eat those foods which I've been eating since young. But I'm going out first with the awesome girls for sushi & movie before my flight. Tomorrow's also gnna be awesomeeeeeeeeee! I think people won't even know I'm on holiday since I'm sure I can go online there. Hahahaha. Okay bye! Au revoir!

Going back to Philippines in November 6 till November 28! :D It was rlly sudden notice. My mum dropped the bomb only a few days ago.

The perks?
- I can shop and eat like crazy again.
- Most of the stuff there are affordable.
- I can celebrate my birthday there wf my relatives after NINE LONG YEARS.
- I can see my relatives.
- I can pamper myself more.

The drawbacks?
- I can't go for the Msia basketball trip when this year, we're going to be accommodated in an awesome hotel!
- I CAN'T WORK. :(

Yep, so I think that's it. The main reason we're going there is for my brother to go through lots of check-up as something triggered his asthma to come back. Me, my younger brother and younger sister are going there first @ Nov 6. Mom and Dad going on November 20. Geeee, I'm so bored now. November faster come pleaseeee.

ANW, @ Ger's house a few days ago for a catching up session wf mates, I was watching TVD when they were mahjong-ing. Then while we were eating KFC @ the living room where Ger's mom was watching tv...

Xf: Elena got killed.
Me: Ya, Elena got killed as it is written in the book. She got killed by Katherine and..
Germaine laughs.
Germaine: My mom's name is Katherine.
Me: ..................................

Defying Gravity


Had our Graduation Ceremony yesterday @ School. It was cool. Took pictures wf my teachers & a few friends. :D It's gnna be posted @ Fb soon.

A few days ago, Victor, Charmaine & I went out. Mine and Charmaine's motive was to continue job hunting but then, when we were on our way to town, Victor & Charmaine got a call from _____ and they managed to get a job interview alr! Then I was panicking cos I signed up wf Charmaine at the same shop and yet, I haven't received a call yet. After 10 minutes, I was feeling so down alr but suddenly, I received a call and my face brightened instantly. HAHA. Our job interview went fairly well and hopefully, the 3 of us will get a call from them this Friday!

Moving onnn, since we alr have an interview for the next day, we went to take photos instead! Guess where....

@ The old railway in Clementi! Trust me, ITS SO HARD TO GO THERE. I was whining about the humidity cos it was stifling! Urghh. Nonetheless, we still manage to get there, with my constant grumbling. Hehe. Pictures @ Fb but shall post some here!













As you can see, it was an overhead railway! LOL. The crazy things we do just to get nice pictures. I know, craaaazy~

Okay, going out later for class outing. It's gnna be fun! BYE.

Ashes and wine




Soooo sad!! :( Superduper sad.

IT'S TIME TO CHIONG TVD SERIES. And jog, exercise, eat, shop, read and work! Every song that plays whenever TVD is showing a Damon and Elena moment never fails to be beautiful. ^^ Bloodstream and Ashes & Wine. Beautiful wf a CAPITAL b!

We were meant to live for so much more.
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside.

~

Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open.
Maybe we're bent and broken.

"Meant To Live" - Switchfoot

LONG POST AHEAD. I assure you that you won't get bored. I hope. ^^









BENTEN YTD! Superduper happy ttvm cos I LOVE to eat there. I hate curry. & spicy food. But I'm willing to make an exception for Benten's curry which is quite spicy. COS ITS NICE! :D Above is what I ate for ytd night. Double flabs lehhhhh~ good thing there was a friendly match today. At least I managed to jog/run for a while! Heh~ After the major exams, I will jog at least twice a week! :@



Serene was taking unglam shots of everyone and I was happily eating my mango cake till I saw what she was up to!! :@ I feel like posting everyone's unglam shots here. HAHAHA. But nevermind, I'm not so evil. ^^

Ytd Xf was superduper hilarious! We were both talking about sth while walking then we caught sight of a bright flash in our peripheral vision.

Xf: WHAT WAS THAT? Thunder ah?!
Me: HAHAHAHAHA.

Hilarious ttvm! I told Amanda and we were both laughing like crazy.

Speaking of which, Amanda told me that the funny clips of Damon in my previous post was not hilarious. Pshhhhzxc. Your sense of humour is too dry mannn! I wanted to post another video but embedding was disabled. Urghhh. :@ But if you wnna see it, ITS RIGHT HERE!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frc7NCDeOPo

One of my favourite scenes in TVD! Now that I've thought about it, I realised I haven't watch the latest episode. Hmmm, maybe later.



Happy belated to Serene! :D She and Catherine taught me the basics of basketball when I first stepped into Secondary school. Good senior!



Happy belated to coach too! :D Without him, we wouldn't have managed to get so far in the Basketball West Zone/Nationals.



Last BUT NOT LEAST, former captain Tweety Bird Carissa Koh! :D Wfout her, I would've still been so demoralized after playing many matches which are not up to my expectations. But she has always been there, WFOUT FAIL, to encourage me. Her optimism motivates me. :D

Before September is over, (cos I'm pretty sure I won't be updating till October), I shall wish the September babies a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :D :D Hope that you didn't get bored. Okay long post is done. Okay bye!

First one's from Glee. It's Charice's and Lea's version of Telephone by Lady Gaga. Funny!
2nd's one is clips of Damon from TVD. Funny! :D

Who you are is not where you've been


Taylor Swift sang "Innocent" in the VMA. Even though I find her opening of the song quite melodramatic, the song was still nice I guess. Hahahaha. I changed my playlist btw!

When mum reached home..

Mum: Who wants mooncakes?
Me: MEMEME!! *runs and takes them from mum*

I don't like those brown and hard mooncakes which got egg yolk inside. I like those soft one and wf no yolk inside! My mum refers to it as "refrigerated mooncakes". A few days ago she brought some mooncakes from Swissotel AND IT'S SINFULLY YUMMY!! :D

Come to think of it.. I'm still a child at heart sometimes. It's easy to make me happy. Hand over the sweet stuff and you made my day. :b

Let's run away & don't ever look back



I loved Twilight. Keyword, LOVED. I know I've been obsessing over VD the past few days. I'm not a total crazy vampire fanatic. Just that I'm hooked to some characters starring from VD. I'm still a teenage girl. It's normal for me to swooooooon~




Sentosa last Friday wf family & mum's friends. After that, headed to MS for pool and dinner. Playing pool was hilarious! One of my church guy friends underestimated me & said "You sure you wnna play wf me or not?!" He was good in maths & I guess, physics also. &when he was playing another friend before I compete wf him, I got intimidated! BUT I WON HIM HAHAHAHA. Till the last black ball! ^^

Shall play more aft my exams! There's a long list of "To-do-aft-exams". Eating steamboat, pooling & ice-cream are one of the most important ones! Heh~

Hahahaha I want the whole supply can? :D :D :D :D :D

Mum finally came back from Japan/Korea! Unfortunately, she doesn't have the shortest spare time to read my email to get something which I've wanted for quite long! Urghhh~ But nevermind! Still happy cos I get to eat many many chocolates & she's finally back! She bought a looot.





One of my favourites! Okay nevermind, all are my favourites. HAHA. I'm sure to seriously gain a lot these past days. Urghhhh.

She bought looots of beauty products too!



These are only a few! There are like, more than 40 face masks?!?! 15++ eye patches? 5 BB Creams? Madness.

Last night she was also saying "Oh no, why can't I find the clothes I bought for you? Expensive leh. Did I left it there?" Then I was feeling somewhat down because of that BUT SHE FOUND IT. :D Yeah~ Got 2 tops & 2 leggings. The leggings are rlly comfy!

& GUESS WHAT. My mum also got me a camera! Purple cam! ^^



14.1 Megapixzxz! :D Cool or whut! I asked her why not green then she said don't have. :( Nonetheless, happy happy happy happy happyyyyyyyyy! Heh! Okay, will study for SS! Erm, soon okay? :3

Chace Crawford, Ian Somerhalder, Zac Efron.

3 guys, each having an uncanny resemblance against the other.



Chace Crawford.



Ian Somerhalder.



Zac Efron.

No wonder I prefer Nate&Blair as a couple in Gossipgirl. & Ian, having won Robert Pattinson as Sexiest beast. & Zac and Vanessa as a compatible couple.

One thing that they have in common are those super mesmerizing eyes! @_@ Urghhhhh. So handsome also can?

Anw, the past days have been a blast. Kite flying, picnic, pool, steamboat. Lots of pictures @ Fb. This weekend, it's time for some INTENSIVE SS MUGGING. I MUST get A2 for humans! :@

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY TO AMANDA AND XF. :D

I am soooo gnna gain weight weight weight~
I must exercise, exercise, exercise.
Pizzahut on last friday, Swensens today.
Money boomz, weight boomz. Aiyo~

TOMORROW'S TCHER'S DAY. My classmates are performing. Good luck guys!

I think I might've inhaled you.
I can feel you behind my eyes.
You've gotten into my bloodstream.
I can feel you flowing in me.

Stateless - "Bloodstream"

Changed a few tracks of my playlist. I'm currently addicted to that song~

All I ever want,







Cold-rock icecream @ 313.Yummmmmmm~ I know the outcome looks quite disgusting. But its nice okay. Simple and nice.

//Edited.

















Thanks for the reassurance, moksie. ^^

Baking @ Victor's house. Even if my brownies were SLIGHTLY burnt, it still tasted good! Maybe you'll be saying "Of course it tasted good, you followed through the instructions and bought the cake mix." To answer that.. No, I altered the quantity of each ingredient a bit. There should actually be more vegetable oil than water but I put in more water and less veggie oil. & Instead of 2 eggs, I put in 3. Didn't bought the original recipe ingredients as it would cost too much. Baked brownies for my mum. She's flying to Japan & Korea later on today.

There's still lots of brownie cake mix left so I baked for my friends who also came to slack at Vic's house. They also say not bad! So I guess that counts as a success when I'm a fnn-practical-fail student. Hehe. Rest of the pictures @ fb. Lazy to upload all photos. I think its too troublesome. Tsk.

During the KL trip, I splurged on two things. One was..





2 was..





Salvatore Ferragamo! Luv. Widely known for it's superduper nice perfumes!

Now about the trip. HORRENDOUS, TERRIBLE, NERVE-WRECKING & INFURIATING TRIP! Urghhhhh.

1st day, bus queue to get to Woodlands interchange, SUPER LONG. Stood up on the bus SUPER LONG. Bus ride, SUPER LONG. HORRIBLE! :@ During the 5 hour bus ride to KL, the 2 ppl in front of my brother and I already had their seats put down which made us unable to move freely AND DUE TO MY LONG LEGS, it made them hurt and turn numb most of the time. HORRIBLE AGAIN. :@ Thank God I have my sweet donuts to keep me sane. Love my mum for buying 'em.



As long as I have sugar in my system, I'M HAPPY. :D

Reached KL Plaza more than 12 HOURS LATER. Like wow?! The most was actually 9 hours but now, bcos of the superduper long queues, super long bus rides AND the SUPER HIGH taxi fare, which made us revert to the transport of buses. Pfffft. And of course, WE NEED TO WALK LONG LONG. Bcos in Bukit Bintang, there was this super big idk what event then the whole road was fullpacked! Greaaaat. I srsly don't get why I keep complaining when I've trained my legs to withstand continuous running or jumping. Maybe it's bcos I've never trained to withstand continuous standing or walking. Right.



FINALLY, rched our suite in KL Plaza. Super big and nice! Stayed most of the time at there whenever we have KL shopping trips bcos the suite is rlly big and comfy. Took a super long shower to soothe my nerves. I'd been so cranky that day.







Shopped for a few clothes as I only brought along 1 set of clothes wf me. FYI, in the whole trip, I only managed to buy 2 vests & 3 tanks. Urgh. Last time I can go up to at least 4 sets of clothes LOL. Bummer.

2nd day was much better. Thank God. KLCC, Times Square & a nice, relaxing full body massage. Not. It was not relaxing bcos most of the time, I was giggling and laughing like crazy. It was so ticklish! Or maybe I'm just too sensitive and ticklish. Don't know. I would like to see the girl who was massaging me. She should be like.. "What's wrong wf this girl?" LOL. My aunt was asking me how was the massage. She was just right beside me but we were separated by curtains. I was like.. "Ohh, hahahaha, nice ah nice ah. But why so ticklish? Hahaha." The whole room was filled with my laughter. Oh gosh, embarrassed much? :$




@ KLCC.

After the massage, there were 5 men painted overall with different colours. ONE WAS GREEN BUT I WAS TOO LATE. Never get to take picture wf tht green man! But fortunately, I managed to take one wf the red one! COOL OR WHUT. :D



3rd day, went home. Checked out at 1230 and went for 5hour bus till Malaysia customs. Ate KFC there first cos was super hungry. When we are finally going to Woodlands checkpoint, THE 170 BUS WAS SUPER like crazy you wnna pull your hair out LONG. I did something bad. Cut queued but I srsly can't stand it. Moreover, my body was aching and I was in dire need of some sleep. Reached SG ard 9pm. LIKE FINALLY. (Y)







Sis cute right. Pfft. Okay will end here for the KL trip.

DSLR is love. So many nice features. I WILL GET ONE SOON. :@ First attempt writing my name using some cool feature in Vic's DSLR.



Attempt fail. I got A wrong. :@



Good I guess. Just that the smiley face was too close. :@ Shall try next time once I managed to get one! :D
