I hate my timetable tis sem...no free days...long hrs (like 10pm?)...early days..unnecessary breaks...YUCKS...but i'll survive...i hope i will...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've been busy with driving lessons these few days and for the last few weeks of holidays...i shld say i manage to overcome my driving fear and my skills are relatively ok...now tat sch reopens...my lessons are very less frequent and this is scaring me cos i realise i forget lots of stuff if i dun practise regularly...i juz nvr drive for 5 days then i began to make many silly mistakes during my recent lessons...omg...tat's y i say mahz...i've no consistency in wat i do...haiz...tat's my weakness! now i'm midway thru my driving course...hope i can pass by tis year...seriously hope! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yeah back to the title of my post...wat's sequel curse? it is actually wat i realise after watching so many sequels and almost none can be compared to their previous ones...dramas are like tat...movies are also like tat...recently i went on a movie frenzy (cos got student discount...hehe), watching money no enough 2 (wif my mom), mummy tomb of dragon emperor (wif ong) &amp; 12 lotus (myself onli)...i can say tat none is as gd or better than their previous...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;money no enough 2 was damn funny &amp; sad at the same time. i had more tears of sorrow than joy (i cried until my eyes were still red when the movie ended!)...more of a melodrama...i prefer the 1st one but i cnt condemn the 2nd one cos it's really not bad...though i found the visuals lousy (but cnt blame since it's spore production), not much concentration on money issues but more on family issues...nevertheless i'll still support jack neo movies...they never fail to make me laugh &amp; get into the story!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the mummy 3 was actually quite nice though the story plot was fairly simple &amp; predictable...i like the addition of jet li &amp; michelle yeoh...and the visuals are fantastic...but mummy 3 may lose out to mummy 1 &amp; 2 cos it lacks the wow factor and excitement i shld say...and i think the movie duration is quite short so the movie seems a bit rushed? however, i'm easily contented...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 lotus is the most recent movie i watch since it's like the 'not related' sequel to 881...and guess wat...i watched alone!!!!! actually it's quite shiok to watch alone...hahahz...better than to eat alone lohz...hahahz...back to the movie...i still prefer 881 but i like 12 lotus cos got romance element. But come to think abt it...the love element wasn't very strong..and it comes as a sad plot. i really sympathise with lian hua's fate in the movie...it's a sad sad story though i didn't cry i got tears in my eyes. a lot a lot of hokkien songs to expect which are catchy &amp; gd acting frm leads. i just dun like the ending...seriously...nor here nor there! haiyo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i really felt gd after yakking all my inner thoughts on my current life and movie reviews...hope ya guys do drop by once in a while to read my blog...will blog soon abt my upcoming faculty bash &amp; dnd (my 1st time!!!) and grumbles on sch life =)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6925951-2127163007300629397?l=vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com/feeds/2127163007300629397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6925951&amp;postID=2127163007300629397&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6925951/posts/default/2127163007300629397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6925951/posts/default/2127163007300629397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com/2008/08/sequel-curse.html' title='sequel curse'/><author><name>vabulous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15001837486410808140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925951.post-5759193762627830298</id><published>2008-07-19T00:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T09:32:37.194-07:00</updated><title type='text'>missing in action</title><content type='html'>&lt;font color=#FFFFFF&gt;time for a new post le...hehehz..been mia~ing for a period of time liaoz...due to certain circumstances...it was a few busy weeks and a recent slack week that i'd been through...so let u guys noe wat ur nice cool vanessa was doing these days... =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;travelling back to last week of june...it was the freshman camp for my fac...now the tables have turned...i am a senior alr! it wasnt an easy job taking care of the freshies but i did had lots of fun interacting with the 'fresh meat, be involved in the games and got even closer with my senior pals...and it was indeed cool to meet my jc senior who became my junior now...wahahahaz..juz funny for me...however...i got a realisation tat i dun really noe how to take care ppl...often i'm the one who needs to be taken care of...so i muz be stronger somehow...i'm always 'the baby' in my grp mahz(there're exceptions though)=P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the rather fun camp, i began to go into job search frenzy...to my horror...it's difficult to find 1 mth temp jobs...went for a couple of fruitless job interviews...all customer-related jobs...think i dun have enough flair in doing these jobs bahz...the most interesting interview i went was the music sch where i had to do a mini role play with the staff abt introducing the music courses...had to speak in gd eng which is like my weakness lahz...cos i like to mix...i think i did ok but guess i'm not the one they wan...thank god i got myself some short term temp jobs in the end...it's interesting in the sense tat it's diff from my previous jobs...i tried out as a receptionist (speaking skills are on the test!)and admin assistant...nice but why no one wld hire me as sales person lehz? or customer service? wat's my prob? hahahz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had a recent slack week where i stayed at home almost everyday...watching online videos! i finished 2 seasons of america's next top model, 2 sets of 25 episodes anime, 2 jap movies! now on a jap drama and taiwanese drama...i really like jap anime &amp; dramas! my hot favs now! let me brief intro u wat i watch...watch them if ya free!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- the 2 animes are Nodame Cantabile &amp; La Corda d'Oro ~primo passo~.

trains...ahhh...why i live so far from sch? ok...i shld live in a hall right? but my mum dun really support tis idea...&amp;amp; i can find no one to share a double room with me...no wonderful jc cca record to be given a room...too lazy to be fully independent...ok lots of reasons to give...hahaz...so i juz have to find a shorter route or to pass the time...or ultimately to learn driving?!? back to rag...didnt do marche tis time...but i learnt how to make a craft using juz aluminium cans...yesh! a peacock! so proud of myself when i did my first recycled material-based peacock...though it looked a bit weird...my another successful art piece since folding cranes &amp; stars...hehez...it's always gd to learn new stuff...so gonna go help rag tis week again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;been busy watching anime these few days...so if u catch me msn online...at the busy status...i'm either blogging or engrossing in my shows...hahaz...i juz finished watching a nice anime 'Harukanaru Toki no Nakade Hachiyosho'...if u're a fushigi yuugi fan...u can watch tis! it's somehow similar to fushigi yuugi where there's a girl went back to ancient times...holding power of a dragon priestess &amp;amp; got 8 protectors (or called 'hachiyos')...but it was a shorter anime (26 epi) with not much luv element (surprisingly...) and not much comedy either...but overall...it had a good plot, nice opening/ending songs &amp; in-depth stories of the 8 protectors...actually...i wanted to start watching other jdorama or taiwan idol dramas...but in the end...got addicted to anime first...hehez...now currently watching 'Saiunkoku Monogatari'...it's also a historical setting based anime (dunno but i like tis kind of anime...hehez...)...very interesting anime abt imperial household &amp;amp; system...read more on wikipedia if ya interested...hehez...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;hmmm...holidays shld be the time where we can organise &amp; attend gatherings...but sadly...didnt get to do either one...hehez... i understand cos organising is really difficult...choosing a venue &amp;amp; time where all ppl can make it or most imptly...the no. of ppl coming is the question...so i really give up on tat...i rather attend gatherings to show my appreciation &amp; support to the organiser...hehez...but probably all of us are busy with our own stuff tat we gradually fail to keep in touch or to find time planning...nevertheless...i'm glad to meet up with hui &amp;amp; simin last tues...had a nice phone chat with huimin...and upcoming activities with ong &amp; ping...so maybe i shld take initiative to meet up other frens in small grps...tat's much easier i guess...hey hey pplz...dun forget me kies...inform me if there's any gatherings hor...pri/sec/jc/cca...miss me? can call me! bored to tears? date me out! need someone to talk? sms me! wanna noe how i am? hehez...can read my blog &amp;amp;

2 (literally means Gangster Teacher)....it's actually the same drama with 2 seasons...it's abt sch life where it depicts a very devoted female teacher named Yamaguchi Kumiko (nicknamed Yankumi) educating her students in a special way...how special? coincidentally...her students were always the delinquents tat hate teachers...the 'trash' tat society regards...but becos of her special identity being the 4th generation inheritant of the 0edo family (it's a influential gang)...she uses her own method to lead her students to the right path, gaining their trust and to help her precious students to graduate with pride &amp;amp; dignity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;If you like GTO...u shld like gokusen 1 &amp; 2...cos u can really learn the meaning of friendship, love &amp;amp; family throughout the drama...touching plots yet there are comical moments...great cast i supposed...the teacher is very cute and the students are shuai...hahahaz...yup all the students are male...look out for matsumoto jun &amp; oguri shun in gokusen 1 , kamenashi kazuya &amp;amp; akanishi jin in gokusen 2...hot hot guys...hehez...the ost is also good...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;2)Korean Drama-My Girl...i noe i took a long time to watch this drama...cos i kept dragging...i shld say it wasnt my fav korean drama cos i got confused with the plot at times...hehez...maybe i blur mahz...but it's not bad in my point of view cos the plot is quite refreshing...everything revolved around distinguishing between the lie &amp; the truth...particularly...i like the 2 main leads...Lee Da Hae (the female lead acted as Yoo-rin) &amp;amp; Lee Dong Wook (the male lead acted as Gong-chan) one is cute &amp; witty while the other is suave &amp;amp; charming...hahaz...it's a heartwrenching love story towards the end...cos obstacles had to be overcome before it's a happy ending...wat's the best is the OST...very good...hehehz....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;btw...this is my name Vanessa in jap (katakana)...so cool...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075056729220711266" style="DISPLAY: block;

(2pm to 7pm) damn fun cos we challenged ourselves with crazy rap songs to crying ballads...plus munching the ever exp titbits...(ping &amp;amp; ong are picky on the titbits...hahahz...i juz ate the remainder...:P) we had a super fun time together as usual! gonna go kboxing soon again arh!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;while ppl are going korean drama crazy...i'm weird enough to go back into 'japan drama frenzy' (there was a period when jap dramas were popular!) ...thanx to ong for snapping my patience by telling me the youtube webbie for the hana yori dango jap drama...so i cnt control myself to wait for the stock (i wan to buy part 1 but it's out of stock!) to come so i went to catch in on net...u muz think i'm crazy to watch hana yori dango (btw it's actually meteor garden...) cos the plot &amp; story will be the same as the taiwan version or even anime...yes the plot is the same but the filming style &amp; sequence ( &amp;amp; of cos the cast..hehe) are different...i thought it'll be a bit sian but i was completely addicted lehz...so i fell in love with the plot once more...it's like a classic...the OST is great...cast is great ( luv hanazawa rui!!!!! doumyoji is funny!) now tat i finished both season 1 &amp; 2 in less than 5 days...(i finished season 2 in 2 days!) this goes to show this drama is really worth watching if u are a meteor garden fan....i even cried at some scenes becos there seemed to be many obstacles to overcome in the jap adaptation...so try to catch tis drama!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;alright...here comes the burning question...wat's my final choice for uni? hahaz...i thought of 2 analogies in the situation tat i'm in right now...choosing either uni is like a tug of war in my brain...both unis are pulling in opp directions while the winner will be the one who gets the red cloth tied in the middle to their side...or a funnier analogy is tat i'm in a meteor garden situation...being shan cai...to choose dao ming si or hua ze lei???? hahaz...i think i wasnt in a right state of mind when it comes to this matter...but most probably...i will choose nus sci (90%)...cos i dun think my character suits the corporate world afterall...i gave much thought abt it...it's like ntu business is very appealing but deep down...my heart seems to prefer nus somehow...dunno y lehz...so i'm going with my feelings (forsaking my frens again!)...hahaz...so i seriously wan to noe who's choosing nus sci?

(esp if u got stressful jobs!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;yeah yeah! went to watch spiderman 3 with ong at GV Plaza on sat (my second movie in the cinema for tis yr...hahahz...i'm not a cinema-goer)..it was quite good...i'll give 4/5 for rating...hehe...u can say i'm biased cos i always luv spiderman movies since 1st installment...for this 3rd one...the special effects are great...cast is great...the plot (more on relationship development) is predictable &amp;amp; not tat draggy...i think it's worth the ticket price...so if ya wanna catch a movie...go try spiderman 3!

I'm very touched cos almost the whole dept is going...for my sake? (cos i'm juz a temp staff!) hahaz...maybe it's also a great opportunity for these perm staff to have a fun gathering!

eating 'tea leaf eggs' at 'mosquito-infested' stop over-&lt;em&gt;yong peng&lt;/em&gt;...chit chatting on the van...admiring the star-studded sky...interesting lehz...:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;we reached cameron the next morning...managed to check in to our rooms....and got a great shot of dawn (ok...almost dawn...) the equatorial hotel rooms are quite cosy &amp; well furnished...(wait till u see First World Hotel...it's OMG!) since we only got one day in cameron...we quickly freshened up &amp;amp; had scrumptious breakfast &amp; booked a one full day tour from the hotel (which costs 80RM...my colleagues said was exp!) had a good time sight-seeing...from flowers to cactus, from butterflies to snakes...from tea leaves (boh milk tea not bad lehz!

finally got a chance in my whole life to cry over results with tears of JOY...(past few times were sorrowful...) but it seemed unreal tat i even doubt if the name of the result slip was mine...i call my bro to hit me so to prove tat i'm not dreaming...i even went to check the slip every night (for 5 days) to see if the grades will 'morph' into reality grades...u shld see my prelim results...no one can believe lahz...it's like a miracle indeed or shld i say...my hard wrk finally paid off at tis pt of time....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;getting acceptable results wasnt tat great after all...cos ur choices of courses in uni become wider...tat's my second hit...to make decision on which course to embark on &amp; make a living out of it...ahhhh...i've been thinking &amp;amp; thinking &amp; thinking for the past few weeks &amp;amp; i'm still hesitant &amp;  a teeny bit unsure...last time...i  thought my final grades wld juz limit my choices &amp; i wld be able to make a decision quick cos my ultimate goal is juz go uni regardless of any course cos i practically got ability to develop interest...but now...i'm spoilt with choices...so it's harder to make a wise choice tat i wont regret...ppl kept telling me to choose my interest but i find career prospects are impt...&amp; unfortunately for me...my interest doesnt give me good broad career paths...really envy those ppl who had already made their satisfying decision...ok i'm simply fickle-minded....hmmm...so folks...do u think i shld choose science? business? or media studies? pls give comments while considering if my character &amp; possible capabilites can fit in which areas...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;3rd hit was really a hit...hahaz...experienced the tremors from sumatra earthquake for the 1st time...i was at the office wrking when i thought i went giddy...but i realised my table &amp; chair are shaking...&amp; i felt the tremors twice...the whole company evacuated the building for a while before resuming wrk...though it's scary but it's actually quite exciting for me lahz...a kinda excitement in my mundane life...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;celebrated shawn's bdae last week with a mini surprise...i was rather shocked to learn tat shawn actually thought we forgot his bdae...hui's acting is superb tat she got shawn tricked...hahaz...but we did enjoy ourselves at the cafe in kovan cos the food is damn nice...of cos thanx to shawn for giving us a treat...feel kinda bad since he's still the bdae boy...glad tat he likes the gift though i dun think he like the cake...hah...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;went to NTU &amp; NUS open house last sat wif syl, zj &amp; frens...ntu was the first stop...i like their funky &amp;amp; 'less rigid' kinda style for their open house...their talks are much clearer &amp; detailed...nus was the last stop...their campus is really nice...though the talks are almost the same...but i like tat exhibition booths for enquiries...the ppl in both uni are very nice too...arh...thought i wld be able to decide better after going the open houses...but it made me even more confused...cos it got me interested in courses tat i nvr consider...so i'm so dead cos gonna make a decision b4 end of march....later a bunch of us went to zj's wrking place to have dinner...yeah..got to eat my fav unagi (eel in jap) ! the food is not bad &amp;amp; price is reasonable...&amp; got food on the house...hahaz...thanx to zj's presence...overall i enjoyed myself tat day hanging out with frens...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;hmmm...my wrking life resumes...&amp;

cos it's only 1pm! the line is so long that it extended to the carpark...but ong &amp;amp; i still can accept the length somehow...it's similar to the length during zaizai's autograph session...but i rmb for zaizai...i queue 2hrs earlier only lehz...so ong &amp; i spend nearing 5 hrs in the 'air polluted' carpark...tat's our second obstacle...as time passed by...the queue was super super long as concluded by ong...i didnt manage to see how long the queue was...but i tink is thrice the queue in front of us...we are lucky to be quite in front....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;4.45pm....the queue moved...we finally can proceed inside the shopping centre...but frankly speaking...ong &amp; i cnt even see the stage...it's blocked by shops...and this is where the real frightening part starts....it's abt outlast, outlive and outwit...hahaz...a bit like survivor...esp when we entered the yellow barriers...it's soooooooo squeezy...everybody (99.9% gals&gt; was practically pushing...we were all standing so close that our bodies are sticking on one another...cant feel the aircon...air became stuffy &amp;amp; hot...i was sweating like mad....had to hold on to ong...or else we cld be separated at any moment...so we stood in awkward positions for hrs....tat's the third obstacle...to test our endurance...haiz...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;6.15pm....as usual...idols are always late...&amp; false alarms are always given...so ppl practically juz scream &amp;amp; yell &amp; scream &amp; yell....basically the area tat ong &amp;amp; i &amp; many other gals were standing is really unsatisfactory....cos we cldnt see or hear a thing properly...have to tiptoe all the time...ok it's not tat i'm short...it's tat i'm blocked &amp;amp; pushed! i gave up trying to see a thing....so i juz prefer to listen...but tat's even worse...i dun understand why some gals' voices are so shrilling! i'm a gal also but i can neva scream likeeee taaat....and they did not realise they were screaming into my eardrums!!!! obviously ong &amp; i did not even scream ( too tired &amp;amp; cnt be bothered)...we are considered as 'hidden fans'---rather to support them quietly...coming to this session is to experience de experience...fourth obstacle...to jostle &amp; keep our balance &amp;amp; to be in queue...u noe...had to prevent the cutting queue thingy....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;6.30pm...finally fahrenheit appeared &amp; sang their songs...the atmosphere was very high...all the gals screaming for the individuals they like...i think quite many supporters for wu zun, da dong &amp;amp; ya lun...haiz...calvin not many though...but ong &amp; i think tat he's good lehz...i wanted to try to enjoy myself...but i cnt even see their faces...and i was pushed &amp;amp; squeezed...ong was facing the same plight as me...haiz...so i told her...'can they sing quickly and start signing so we can get over and done with it? '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;9pm...we were not even close to the stage where u cld get the signatures...but at least i can see their faces quite clearly from side view...they are really very shuai...every single one of them is shuai...but then came the worrying part...the autograph session wld end at 10pm despite the super duper long queue...ong &amp; i began to panic cos we stand a chance not getting the signatures...of cos i grumble as we waited for 8 hrs for their signatures lehz ( i began to think it's a bit stupid...hahaz...:P) i dun wan to go home empty-handed....tat's our fifth obstacle...but we are lucky tat the door to the main stage area was opened...and ong &amp; i rushed in...yesh! we cld get signatures before the clock ticks 10....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;9.35pm...ong &amp; i went up to shake hands and get signatures...it's very rushing though cos the organisers took our lyrics book ( they were signing on lyric books)....and we were actually focusing on our books rather than the idols...hmmz...wu zun shook my hand quite hard...can feel he's strong...ya lun is rather charming...da dong is very cute &amp;amp; he kept saying thank u in eng...which i found it weird &amp; funny...calvin's smile is very nice &amp;amp; warm-hearted...so when everything ended...i realised the book i took wasnt mine (was ong's)...so i stunned for a while...then i was rushed down...so the person in front took my book but i dunno who! then ong took another person's book...now this became our  last and most difficult obstacle of all....almost mission impossible!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;10.20pm...we were still in IMM...the session extended for around 30 mins only....we left the stage at 9.40pm...but we didnt leave the place yet...it's not tat we didnt had enough of fei lun hai...it's tat something shocking happened...we realised the book tat ong took had a signature missing...yan ya lun forgot to sign!!!! alamak...the situation was rather bad...cos we cldnt get close to any organisers to pass the book to him to sign...ong &amp; i were definitely reluctant to juz go off without a complete set of signatures...so we tried all sorts of ways to attract the organisers' attention...we are even stopped by security guards...i'm really pissed at tat time...hehez...cos i'm super tired and had no strength to fight for attention...haiz...and there are many unhappy fans around tat cldnt get their book signed...so we are despondent...esp me...but ong was still persistant...so when we thought our first autograph session was going to end with a sour note...an organiser stood near us trying to keep order...so this person was our last hope...we called her and told our request...at first she's hesitant but finally she obliged and helped us!!!!! We successfully got the last signature of yan ya lun! ong &amp; i were super happy...not only tat we got the signature at the last minute b4 the event ended....it's also proved tat we are super lucky!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;as wat ong says...within 2 days...we lived our 48 hrs in trials &amp; tribulations...wahahaz...a test to our long running friendship...this experience is definitely more tiring yet meaningful &amp;amp; fun (cos i'm not alone!) than b4...hahaz...i'll rmb this autograph session...a mark in my teenager life...probably i wldnt attend any more autograph sessions.... i need yrs to prepare myself...hahahaz...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;thanx ong for accompany me! hope ya enjoy urself somehow... :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;mission impossible-----&gt; mission possible!

hady...jon only garnered 30% votes...&amp;amp; my 5 votes were included...juz wan to clarify tat i support jon not becos of his looks...but he can sing too...but vocally lost out to hady...&amp; hady can also be on par with jon in terms of looks since he looks charming in his way...so as the cliche says...both are winners....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;talk a bit abt the s'pore idol performance show tat i went live in s'pore indoor stadium...is better than i expected...the sound system is simply great though the visual part is horrible (my seats are far far away lohz...) but i dun care since it's free tickets anyway...the atmosphere is very high...u can really feel the hype &amp;

Dec lahz....cos it's really truly holiday...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;ppl say distractions are bad for students who are supposed to be burying their heads in ten years series...but i wld dare to say i need some distractions...everyone has a limit time to concentrate...esp for me...mine's super short...i'm a bit weird...i can get very stressed at one moment...then the other i flushed all my troubles down the toilet bowl...wahaha...cos my circle of interest is increasing...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

i'm brought to another dimension...it's like watching tv...except u have to picture the realistic images in your head...it's similar to reading novels...where u get to feel and understand the character which is something i like to do...comic drawings are simply great...it's really remarkable to use drawings &amp;  words to trigger emotions in ppl...take up as a hobby lahz...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;i LIKE to watch TV...ok...it's not something new...but tv sure can entertain...from exciting reality tv shows to melancholy dramas...i can appreciate them much better than textbooks...at the extent to say out the story plots fluently without memorising...tat's why my father always say..."if ur interest in tv can be converted into studies...u will surely excel!"...hahaz...maybe...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

Bide your time this year and make preparations to rise again when fortuity returns next year. Take the current opportunity to enrich yourself and reserve your energy when possible from needless attempts. As long as you can pull through this dark period, success is a breeze in the following year when you will be fully recharged and revived. The clash with Tai Sui renders prudence essential in everything you do, as any blunders may land you in a quandary. Expect obstacles throughout the year. Perhaps read up on Jiang Tai Gong or Kong Ming to pick up some strategies that you may use to excel next year. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#33ccff;"&gt;(An extract from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.wayonnet.com/category_fengshui_atlas.asp?aID=86&amp;articleid=588"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#33ccff;"&gt;http://english.wayonnet.com/category_fengshui_atlas.asp?aID=86&amp;amp;articleid=588&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#33ccff;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;BeLIeVe It Or NoT....(to improve ur luck...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;lucky colours:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;orange&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;green&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;lucky numbers: 4, 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;haiz...hope my luck will change for the better...&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;soon&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6925951-113887297248322823?l=vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com/feeds/113887297248322823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6925951&amp;postID=113887297248322823&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6925951/posts/default/113887297248322823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6925951/posts/default/113887297248322823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vantastic_vanessa.blogspot.com/2006/02/wats-with-bad-luck.html' title='wAt&apos;s WiTh The BaD LucK?'/><author><name>vabulous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15001837486410808140</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925951.post-113826816600454510</id><published>2006-01-26T01:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-26T01:36:06.063-08:00</updated><title type='text'>HaPpY ChiNeSe NEw YeAr 2006</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;yoz buddies....chinese new year is juz around a corner...so how exactly do you feel? excited? happy? wahaha....for me...i juz cnt wait for a long break...can slack a bit (though i'hv tons of "chi new year presents" frm my tchers...) however, i seem to realise tat whenever there's a festive season going on...i'll feel sick...i had been having sore throat and a bit feverish lately...dunno why...i cnt even concentrate properly and always get sleepy easily...maybe i pia too hard for jan liaoz? izzit? hahaz...guess i've to gain back my energy this holiday...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;i began to grow tired abt sch life...maybe i discovered that the pace tat my class is going is increasing...it's like everyone is chasing after the train...and i dun really keep up the speed...it explains the rising of my serious problem...tada: moOd SwInGs!

widen my anime knowledge...hahaz..&lt;br /&gt;on the other hand...didnt get to read comics much...cos i realise my fav manga artist..Yuu Watase...actually published her books evey few months...reading

(not with gals...wif guys lohz...)...ppl think tat i quite open-minded...it is true...but still...i feel a bit weird mahz...i was complaining to zj...how come choir so erm...funny one...hahaz...for example, we have to touch each other's waist and press or stare at each other's eyes directly...i noe these muz be necessary during choir practices...but hahaz...i juz still need time to adjust...since in co...zhong ruan is the only body contact i had with...hahahz&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#FFFFFF"&gt;i discovered tat i had a taiwanese idol drama hidden in my

maybe can even go shopping...however...i had to go back to school almost everyday this week for cca...haiz...sad sia...tat's y i now then blog...hahahaz... let me have a quick recall wat i did this week...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#FF0099"&gt;mon:i went to ping's house...had a lot of fun playing monopoly although i LOST a lot of money...then we predict some tarot cards...i really cherish our long-lasting friendship cos even though we only been classmates for 2 years...but the strong bonds between us had lasted for almost 5 years liaoz...so very glad to have these close pals... miss dor too...&lt;br /&gt;tues: hahahz...went back to sch for co to practice some songs for open house for this fri...i'm rusty already...very long time never touch ruan...so when i play...my fingers hurt like siao...frankly speaking...i began to like co...cos i really felt comfortable with the ppl..well at least most of them...hahahz...maybe this is the so called benefit when u have a small no. of ppl...easier to mix around...furthermore... my section got only 4 ppl (including myself...excluding beginners...) and i'm the only girl...hahahaz..can bully the guys to help me...hohohoho...lucky me arh?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#CC99CC"&gt;wed: it's graduation for J2s...and J1 lep students had organised a farewell party for the J2s lep students...so have to go for this party...i'm kinda forced to perform for one of the items...it's actually group singing...so i went to school early to practice...damn weird lahz...then i laze around until the actual thing start...the party was indeed very touching and fun...i mean...farewell is always a very sad fact...and i noe...next year it wld be us...haiz...some j2s put up very very hilarious performances for us...we really had a great time laughing...though i'm not close to these seniors...juz hope to wish them all the best!&lt;br /&gt;thurs: had choir practice...first time...a bit scared lahz..cos singing choir songs are quite different from singing pop songs...and since i'm in soprano...had to sing in a high note all the time...i had to learn songs tat are in latin...japanese...quite hard for me lahz..cos i dunno

Hahahaz…firstly...i realize tat i do crave for fame…izzit already an old fact? Hahahaz...cnt really rmb...but i do feel tat i want to be in the limelight...hoping to be recognize by ppl...ppl wanting to noe more abt me...or juz tat i want to have a certain achievement in life to fulfil my desires? Cos i really want to be noticed by others...having the chance to show off my talent and ppl appreciating it...but i dun really have a real talent of my own...cos for now...even my best talent, compared to others, is only at a “so-so” standard only...u may say tat i’ve low confidence in myself but the truth around me dampen my mood already...and I felt tat i wasn’t given enough opportunites to shine...but even so...i guess i do not have the courage to grab them either...i only have myself to blame...so smtimes...i wish to be extraordinary...i envy those who really have special talent...but i noe there muz be ppl to be ordinary...and i’m one of them......&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#FF99CC"&gt;Secondly...i finally noe why i am sooo desperate for relationship at this tender age...imagine having relationships at the age of 16 and 28...can u see the difference? At 16 yrs old...u can enjoy hanging out with ur stead at fast food joints…shopping malls...walk home with each other...whisper mushy stuff to other...young love is always innocent and pure so to say...but at 28, things and perspectives are different...it will be more practical/serious/bland...as if it is at the stage of choosing spouse…thus…I really hope to experience a relationship at this age…as i cnt be 16 forever wat...dun really want to miss those lovey-dovey moments...and trust me...u’ll regret it...i also claim to be a love expert...but a inexperienced one...so having a relationship can give me a new mindset on romance stuff...it can be useful...hahahaz...but of cos...i’ll not be disappointed if i cnt find a bf...cos i cnt juz pick any guy anyhow...so i let fate lead the way...it will be like a bonus if i can find one now lahz...hahahahaz…so dun accuse of me being boy crazy now since u noe my reasons…being boy crazy can make me forget abt relationships...but actually...i only crazy for anime guys...which are unreal...cos they are sooo handsome lohz...do u think there are guys in the real world tat are as handsome as comic anime guys?(ouch...sorry to the guys out there..hehez) i seriously doubt so…no wonder i always day dream…cos only dreams got shuai ge…hahahaz...of cos in real life...i dun go for looks cos i am not good-looking either…y so harsh lehz...but character wise lehz…muz be good lahz...cos i am a gooood gal mahz...hahahz...maybe i will have an audition on who wants to be my bf?

Went with my classmates &amp; yuzhi...this was my first time organising a cip...so kinda nervous...i was afraid tat i'll sux at being the person in charge...luckily...nothing really went wrong...juz tat...i was late...oOpS...anyway, all of us parted our ways to parts of s'pore...hoping ppl will donate some coins for charity...since the nkf thingy was juz over...yuzhi &amp; i went to bugis...the guanyin temple there...cos yuzhi said tat there are many generous ppl there...guess wat...:)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#FF33CC"&gt;for the lst 10 mins...i was standing under the hot sun...taking the cans and bookmarks...hoping ppl will donate...guess i was too intimidating or wat...all shunned me like crazy...some of them even glared at me...oh my gosh...i think some ppl still couldnt get over the nkf thingy...there were also other charity organisations around the area...the volunteers were nice aunties...one of them even encouraged me to be more daring...dun be afraid...i noe...but sometimes it juz pissed me off tat ppl can ignored me completely...a smile of declination will do no harm right? however, my luck changed for the better when time passed...more ppl pitied me...so to say...so my collection began to grow...along the way...i met a lot of funny things...firstly...i was accused of being a malay and having a malay bf???...cos i was helping a malay organisation to raise money in front of a chinese temple...how ironic can it be? Later, i met my sch choir teacher...surprisingly...she rmb me...hohoho...she also donated cos i quite pitiful lohz...one nice young lady also donated cos her ex-stead in ny (her current stead was wif her lohz...lol!) the most interesting part was i witnessed a case whereby a china lady was handcuffed by the police...everybody was like so "ba gua"(including me! :P)...spectulating wat was happening...i dunno actually but later heard frm yuzhi...it was like illegal syndicate involving in a theft case....the lady was like bawling and kneeling...no wonder everyone stopped at their feet...seemed to be a great chance for me to ask donation but err...they are too engrossed with drama rama....&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#FF9966"&gt;yuzhi &amp; i had a lot of fun while doing this cip...we even went to guanyin temple to "draw lots" (qiu qian)...i dunno how to qiu qian...so yuzhi taught me...after 3 attempts...i managed to "qiu" one "qian" tat's for me...i actually asked for my studies &amp; love life during my 1st 2 tries...but since it's not working, i juz asked for my studies at the last try...in the end, the qian i got was a good one...but not related to studies at all...it mentioned tat "a marriage will be arranged and a son will be born..." i was like WAT? arranged marriage????
