I have a lot on my mind now.

I don't know if it's a norm to always feel so troubled and frustrated when the school term just starts.

Well, my problem is...

Is anyone going for poly forum?!

Well recently, I received an sms & email telling me that I've been nominated to go for the poly forum interview which is held either tomorrow or friday!!!

And it will be held over a span of 2 weeks (on and off) both in Singapore and Malaysia in September.

Well, my other classmates seem to have no intention of going for it, so I dismissed the idea.

Afterall, the topics that we're going to cover in this forum is about local and national world issues.

Like omg.

I don't even read the newspapers!!!

And my English is like shitzxxzxzx.

I have to admit, that I'm not VERY VERY proficient and affluent in English.

But back to my point, yes I don't read the newspapers and keep myself updated about world issues!!!

I may watch the news, but how is that sufficient to allow me to survive 4 days in Malaysia, talking to the other pros from other Polys?

Wait a moment.

I'm talking about, IF I get nominated.

Right now, I haven't even passed the interview, so maybe I'm just thinking too much and you're probably wasting your time reading this post, but I just need to get it off my chest.

So you think, why I'm writing all these shit.

I can just ignore it right!!!

Yeah I wish.

Just this afternoon, this SP teacher, I don't know who, called and she was damn fierce / angsty / gl cos she was literally screaming at me asking why I'm not interested in this forum.

Meh, must have reason not to go for it meh!!!

Wah, then she said,

"It's no use if you keep participating in events and have no leadership points at all"

Damn.

I hate it when people say these things nowadays.

IS IT OKAY IF I GIVE YOU MY SECONDARY SCHOOL RECORDS?!?!

I just don't feel like doing anything in Poly!!!

D:

So as usual, I went to consult mum.

And she asked me to go for the interview and try it out first.

How how?!?!

I still have to do a 200 word write up on some issues and I have no idea how I'm going to do it!

And me being me,

I went to browse through last year's poly forum website.

Well, I think... it's not that bad. I don't know what I'm going to learn.

But at least I don't think they will make you play stupid games (I THINK ONLY, omg I hate playing games.) and it doesn't seem like a camp sort of lifestyle.

So, damn it.

I hate decision making.

STAR AWARDS 2011!!!

Yes!!!

The day I've been waiting for, for weeks / months!

Got me mad excited in the morning, I kinda woke up early so that I could laze around more.

And in the afternoon, we were off to Mediacorp!!!

Saw groups of people from the various fanclubs. And the biggest groups comprised of RuiEn, Zhou Ying, Elvin Ng, and Joanne Peh's Fan clubs.

How I know?

They all had fan club tees.

And what about me?

I was there to "support" Andie.

My BIGGEST motive was to...

SEE MIKE HE OF COURSE!!!

I know I sound like an ultimate traitor or something, but I can't help it, ever since I knew Mike He was coming!!! I don't know how I survived the days before Star Awards.

Anyway, Andie's fan club only consisted of... hmm, the in charge, 3 other guys, 1 auntie and uncle, my mum and me.

Yes, we were the only people present at Mediacorp under Andie's fan club. Naise.

After probably half an hour of waiting, we finally boarded the bus that was going to send us to Sentosa.

And check out what's in my bag!

FOOD!!!

2 fillet burgers, 2 bread, 3 bottles of water and another lunch box with cakes!

I thought my bag would give way cos it was so heavy :/

At 4pm we reached Sentosa.

Slightly before 4.30pm, we were given our pass for the Red Carpet!

Excitement!!!

And given out all our props to cheer Andie on later!

I was very supportive okay! I cheered with my heart and soul nonetheless!

Had "rehearsals", cheers and so on. It was mad deafening with all the super crazy fans screaming and whistling their heads off.

And then we recieved our passes for the award ceremony!

And the Red Carpet officially started!!!

Andie was the 5th car to enter.

So after that, it's kinda "job done" cos you don't have to keep waiting anymore.

I was desperately trying to capture photos of the other artistes as well.

But I couldn't squeeze to the front, so I had to raise my G12 so high, my hands ached :/

And what's more, those people in front weren't holding a camera, and some of them belonged to Joanne Peh's fan club and they squeezed to our space, probably cos we had lesser people :<

Anyway, more of Andie's fans arrived, so in total, we had 18 people to cheer for him. Meh, and it's weird how it seems like he has more guy fans :O

Okay!!!

And see who's next!!!

The super shuai Mike He!!! All dressed in white!!!

*screams!!!*

Shortly after that, we all made our way to the Compass Ballroom where the awards ceremony was held.

We were all drenched in perspire and tired from screaming already.

Look at the pretty lights!!!

And the ballroom!

We were seated at the 2nd last row of the ballroom. Okay, whatever. I just need a clear view of Mike He please!

And look at the super huge camera that was behind us, I couldn't even capture it fully on picture!

All our props for the night.

And the best consolation about sitting far away was that, Mike He's fan club was just behind where I'm sitting!

Though in the other row, but it's still super near!!!

You'll know what perks I've benefited from this later!!!

And the other good thing is that, I get to see close up all the stunts that were performed during the performance.

And 张镇翔's fans were sitting in front of us. And he's such a nice guy!!!

He kept coming to find his fans, and even hugged every one of them when the show was on!

Then halfway through the show, he even brought them out and took pictures with them.

Awesome guyyyy.

Other Andie fans were grumbling why Andie didn't even bother to come see us.

Seriously, I didn't mind.

Call me biased, but I only want to see Mike He!!!

Setting up this was pure hard work man.

I'm going to skip all the nitty gritty stuff about the ceremony cos you might have just watched it on tv.

The only things you guys missed is all the fans screaming during commercial break times.

Rui en's fans screamed till they might just lose their voice for a few days or something.

Joanne Peh's fan cried when she didn't win the best actress award.

Zenn's fan was so pissed when Dai Yang Tian didn't win Top 10 and was complaining how mediacorp is unfair to Zenn.

I don't know if my mum felt awkward when we had to scream cheers for Andie in our loudest voices ever.

Other than that, I was just waiting patiently for Mike He's appearance.

I know you all very sick of me mentioning his name so many times.

Like he's just a guest, also not fighting for any awards, but I don't care!

So tadah!!! Now is the highlight of the show!!!

Out of the 300 pictures I've taken in that night, I had more than 60 pictures of Mike He. And Andie? Only 2!

Cos the only time I saw him was during Red Carpet!!! No choice!!!

Kk, back to Mike He!

And he's so cute!!!

Cos during the times when the winners are presenting their speech, he would stand at the side, and occassionally wave to his fans (including me!!!)

See now you know what "perks" I was referring to right!!!

See this picture!!! It's like waving to me!!!

Pure bliss!!!

I'm going to do a very abrupt ending to this post by posting all of Mike He's pictures.

He was the last award presenter to come out, so it's only right I do that too!!! ^^

ENJOY!!!

Had a very 丰富 breakfast with Gwee and Cheng this morning!

The kopitiam we had our usual breakfast at was closed, so we went to Marina Parade Hawker Centre instead.

Dim Sum breakfast!!!

I'm not going to eat dim sum in the near future!!! Okay, maybe I said this the other time after the buffet at Marriott, but I think dim sum didn't sound too bad for breakfast afterall!

Went to Popular after that. I had wanted to go to the one at Sing post but eventually did not, cos I didn't want to risk seeing Mr Tiko.

So... I went home and I spent the afternoon lazing at home.

Mum has turned into a no life drama addict cos she's spamming 郑和下西洋 for the entire afternoon.

It's a very good show, but I cannot just sit there and watch episodes after episodes, unlike my idol dramas.

Spent such a good holiday watching tv / napping and doing nothing. Wasteddddddd.

Dinner was claypot rice at Geylang!

The whining brother.

Anyway, I've decided to set up a photography blog so that I can post all the photos I've taken.

Please visit it here.

Please comment okay and give me advice / tips on how I can improve!

The primary purpose for this blog is that, I want to use this so that I can pick out the better pictures and present them in class for GEMs or anything.

The secondary purpose is just for me to post pictures there instead of flooding facebook / twitter randomly. And I've thought this blog should solely be for my life updates. Hence, the creation of that blog.

Go visit and see see look look okay!!!

Third day since school reopen.

I'm trying to do my best to find time to write here.

Since today's Wednesday, I've got my GEMs - Photography lesson!

Ok, before I move on to talking about the lesson, I think I would just want to highlight something.

I find some people so hard to approach cos they just look so unfriendly!

I'm not saying that I'm an extremely friendly person or what, but sometimes just trying to smile or make polite gestures at a person you would try to befriend with, or rather, just someone to acknowledge your presence, is just so difficult!!!

It's like, you try to make eye contact with them, but all they do is give you a blank face, and that gives me the impression that I'm not worthy enough to talk to you.

Like what?!?!

Well okay, my point of mentioning this is...

Take today for example.

I go to my lesson alone, thinking that "Oh well, time to make new friends all over again"

But I don't like to take the initiative everytime!

I don't want to go around and ask stupid questions like, (and this especially applies to those who come to classes with their friends)

"Oh hi, are you taking this class also?"

Then they give you a "yeah"

Then I go, "oh! What's your name"

*Inserts name* And if they bother to, they would ask for your name too.

And then I carry on asking them about their course and so on, then I later realise that, hmm maybe they are not interested in making friends with me. And they carry on talking in their own little world.

I don't know. If you are older than me, isn't it weird that you have a junior taking the initiative to come up with topics just to make friends with you?

Like hello?!?!

Will befriending me make you lose a piece of flesh?!

Wait.

I'm not desperate to make friends okay (okay a little, maybe). But that's the whole purpose when you see new people right!!!

You know, my initial plan is just to stand outside the class or while inside the class, someone would come over and introduce themselves to me and carry out a comfortable conversation with me.

How nice would that be!!!

Hate it when I go talk to someone, and you give me answers like you can't be bothered to.

Fine.

I'll leave you alone.

-

Now back to my main point, at least I made a new friend! And I hope she doesn't forget me next week!

Frankly speaking, I think I like this module.

It's kinda interesting! Like I'm gonna have chances to expose myself to different photography techniques.

And even though now it's basics first (cos I've already covered the same things during my product training and my workshop), I find it even more relevant when the lecturer talks about it.

Maybe I was the only one who was nodding and acknowledging that he's talking, he kept looking at me. LOL.

When he showed us his works, I could feel a lot from his pictures. There's this feeling of being moved and touched.

I wanna take these kind of photos too!

Just that, he's kinda strict and probably expects a lot from us.

I read about his profile, and wowwwww, he's kinda reputable I must say.

I've probably got a lot to ask and consult him, but I don't want the other classmates to think that I'm weird or trying to suck up to him :/

I shall see how it goes.

Well, maybe photography will become an aspect that I'm really interested in.

So, probably I'll post up some of my photos here or on Facebook / Twitter so that people can give me comments. Then maybe I can consider showing them to the class and my lecturer during sharing sessions.

Kinda looking forward to next week's GEMs. Just that, there's going to be quite a huge load of work to do, but hopefully my growing interest will not stop me from exploring more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIAYAN!!!

Had an early birthday celebration for her yesterday evening!

But before that, Gwee, Diana and I went to Orchard to get her cake and gifts!

We walked from Ion to get her card, then all the way back to Cine to get her present, and then to 313 for her cake at Icing Room!
