I’m independent, I’m on my own (#TT65)

Ahhhh so many good songs this month! This is one of them.

This YouTube-born band, TeraBrite comprises Sabrina, DJ, and… well, that’s all. Yes, only two of them. Two! Dos!

DJ (the guy) basically does pretty much all the instruments and he sings too! Awesomeness! Plus, they’re dating! :P

I like her dress in this video too :3

If you like pop punk, make sure to check out their other songs!

Decisions, decisions!

I’m having a big dilemma right on whether or not I should go to Good Charlotte’s concert.

Pros:

- I’m a big fan

- a rare chance (probably they will hold another concert in 5 years time)

- finally there’s someone who’s willing to go with me

- it will be on this coming Friday and the tickets are still available!

Cons:

- although the early bird price is the standard price now, $100 still seems a little pricey to me, since I’ve spent mucho dinero for the past month (part of it was for Simple Plan’s January concert! Whaaaat)

- exams

- exams

- exams

 

I’m so confused!! Argh!! I’m planning to study as much as I could before the day. And it falls on Friday, so I think it will be fine? No? …..

Help me!!

 

Sincerely, indecisive Jo

Long live Shady (#TT49)

Been listening to this for weeks :p

Favorite lines:

I got a hole in my heart, some kind of emotional roller coaster
Something I won't go till you toy with my emotions so it's over

I'm a space bound rocketship and your heart’s the moon
And I'm aiming right at you

250 thousand miles on a clear night in June
And I'm so lost without you

Just promise me you'll think of me everytime you look up in the sky and see a star

Still battling with exams..so this is probably the last post before my break starts. Gonna go back home next week oh yeahhhhhh :D

Wish me luck! <3

xo, Jo

Freedom highly demanded! (#TT48)

…break in the back door,
and turn it up while the lights are out

Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're slipping like
tired dogs, rested paws, today we show our flaws

…we'll jump the turnstiles
and cut it down while the lights are out

Eyes closed and shouting right now

 

 

While other people are enjoying their summer break, I’m here stuck with books doing things that I don’t wanna do. I need to breathe!!!

 

xo, Jo

Exam tomorrow! (TT #37)

Hey blog, just a quick post for this Tuneful Tuesday since I’ll have a war to battle tomorrow.

EXAM! GAHHHHH.

Wish me luck!

I wish I had a blanket like the picture above haha.

Anyways, I really like the latest album of Avril Lavigne. I haven’t got myself a copy though, but I will as soon as my exams are finished! It’s gonna be my reward after studying like sh*t lol.

I can relate to most of her songs, but my favorite song of the album has gotta be Wish You Were Here! Somehow I like songs about missing someone or past memories lol. Maybe because the ones that I love are always so far away from me! Or, I know the good times that happened before just happened for once. I think the lyrics of this kind of songs are just something that I’d like to say but I don’t say it in real life.

Anywayssss gotta back revising again! (shoot me!)

Oh, and I just want to say that my heart, thoughts and prayers go to Japan.

Hope you’ll get better Japan! <3

xo, Jo

Tuneful Tuesday #8

There are lots of things that I want to share with you today.
Good ones and bad ones.
So which one first?

.....
Alright maybe the bad ones first.

First, I screwed my exam yesterday. I may be exaggerating but I know it wasn't good. Plus the fact that some of my friends actually got the latest past year papers from several connections which were really similar to the actual exam. I found it quite unfair since the latest papers were actually only meant to be for students who failed the exam before.

Second, my regular Spanish teacher is leaving the tuition centre for another institution, which is very saddening for me.. Moreover I won't be attending the last class she teaches as I'll be going back a week before that :(

Third, one of my classmates is acting super weird. He's ignoring me for no reasons. I don't know if it's correct to put that under this category.

Fourth, I seem to lose contact with my best friend again. I've been dreaming about her. I miss her so much :(

Now move on to the good ones.

First, CONGRATS TO SPAIN FOR WINNING THE 2010 WORLD CUP! I'm so happy for them and I think they truly deserved it ;)

Second, I've got my timetable for the next term. I have to say that the schedule is pretty awesome. It's better than this term and the best part is my birthday falls on one of the study breaks, which is awesome.

Third, I'm in love with this song by Eminem and Rihanna. This video is just a cover of it since the official video is not out yet.

"And right now there’s a steel knife in my windpipe
I can’t breathe but I still fight while I can fight"

"So they say it’s best to go your separate ways
Guess they don’t know you
Cause today, that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it’s a different day
Silent broken records playing over"

"Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
I guess that’s why they call it window pane"

"Now I know we said things
Did things that we didn’t mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper is just as bad as mine is"

"Maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
Maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano"

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie"

Eminem is probably the one and only rapper that I still listen to since I was in primary school. I know he does some bad things in his life, (well, all of us do right?) but I always see him as a talented musician who writes more meaningful lyrics than just about some girls in clubs. He does have that type of songs too though, in fact he has them pretty a lot in the previous albums, but I like the ones in which he puts personal feelings into more. The first song ever of his that I know is The Real Slim Shaddy. It's simply because my brother had a performance being a Slim Shaddy for his middle school graduation haha it was pretty funny :P

Till next time!

xo, Jo

Just Stand Up

A quick shot from last Sunday. I’m pretty lazy dressing up these days, due to exams maybe, so I’ll just throw casual (boring?) pieces everytime I go out. Except for the bag and bracelet, I got everything from different department stores..in different countries. lol. so it’s acceptable to forget the names and brands ;)

Nowadays I cant stop listening to..

I know it’s not a new song, but the lyrics are so inspirational. When I watched this video for the first time, I realized that a couple of singers or more from the original recording are not here, instead there’s Nicole from Pussycat Dolls joins the performance. I just wish that ahhem*miley*ahhem could be replaced by someone else :P still great song though!

Oh, and yes, I found this drawing (again) in my HR book :P i promise this is the last one! This looks weird though, the legs look unbalanced with the body hahaa. So as I mentioned earlier I’ve been busy studying for exams so I wont be able to blog that often until the exam period is over. By then I’ll be blogging in another country! haha. I’ll try my best to post more outfit posts as I’ll ask one of my parents to take pictures for me haha.

Study week is always dull and boring, so I hope that yours will be better than mine! :D

Oh, the next post would probably be the list of favorite outfits from the Grammys!

xo, Jo

My wheel is at the top (again?)

Humans take things for granted.
If our wishes don't come true, we start blaming God,
asking why He could do this to us,
without knowing that He's got a better plan.

And we may not realize this,
but we tend to look for God only when hardships occur in lives,
and we tend to forget Him most of the time.

Once I heard,

"If you don't get the (good) things you want, God shall give you the better ones"

or something like that. lol

It's really true though, coz i guess it happens to me quite a lot of times.
I didn't realize that before,
but I did today,
coz it just happened to me.
It's one of my christmas wishes.
I never thought that it came true early.
I cried due to over joys.
God heard me,
and I believe He always does.

I wanna scream this out loud:

I PASSED THE ELECTONE GRADE 5 PERFORMANCE EXAM!!!

Thank you God,

YOU ARE MY SAVIOR.

Super long day

It's been a looooong day.

I woke up early for Diego's chat today.
I remembered in singapore time it was supposed to be 7.30 am, but i was wrong, it was an hour after that.
I guess diego saw one of my questions? not sure, but he did mention about that topic so i just assumed that he did. ha.

The organ exam was not so bad, but not so perfect either.
I don't know, im too tired to talk about it right now.
I'm just begging them to pass me.
PLEASEEEEEE!

I asked permission to the lecturer to let me leave 15 mins earlier before it was finished.
Took a cab, had the exam, then take the train to tiong bahru, bought a birthday cake and headed to my friend's place to celebrate.
It was effin tiring.
and i brought my organ books along so yeah.
and i ate a lot of 'guilty pleasures'.

I'm half dead now.

To everyone who is reading this please pray for me to at least pass the organ exam.

POR FAVOR. PLEASEEEE IM BEGGING YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

Thank you and God bless!

loves xx

Semester break!

The exam week is over~~~!
And now it's time for semester break! :DD

Let's recap of what has been happening this week.

Monday:
It was unexpected but the band 'we shot the moon' just began a live video chat when i just logged in my twitter. I guess it was a practice before the video chat of the NEXT day? with someone else :)
but anyway the guys were nice and funny ;)

Tuesday:
DIEGO's video chat!!! Yeah i was so waiting for tuesday to come. I couldnt sleep at the night before, i set the alarm to wake me up but i woke up before the alarm rang! hahaha. too excited maybe? :P There were so many people so he didnt see my questions i guess :/ but i think i was smiling for half an hour just looking at and listening to him :PP

Wednesday:
Nothin special happened. Exam?

Thursday:
Study study study and day dreaming about the upcoming weekend X)

Friday:
It's finally over!
Yeepee!

Saturday:
Halloween! We went to sg science centre for the celebration and we thought ALL people would dress up but at first we just saw the kids did lol. Only some of the adults dressed up and i guess they thought they could only dress up as scary characters, while me and my friend.. hmm luckily we didnt dress up so much, otherwise we would be out of place, ha~ but yea we were trying to be a gypsy woman and a sexy waitress. LOL?
She was so freaked out by the "ghosts" even the kids werent that afraid. haha.
First we were going through the 'night horror trail' (the best part) XD then watching some kind of a show where a rubber guy didnt die getting struck by lightning (?), then looking at the exhibition "body worlds" where we could see human body (real) parts (idk how they made it but it was cool and gross at the same time, too bad that no photo taking allowed), then heading to fill our stomachs (Mcd's at 9.30 PM, felt sorry for my body) anddd attending a sort of discussion about ghosts(?). Oh, and chatting about ghost stories for an hour before going back home XD. I reached home with dead feet.

Sunday (today):
Skipped the morning mass and being laaaazzzzyyyyy. Still going for afternoon mass tho. Im a good girl ;)

Happy holidays for me! ;)) (not being sarcastic to those having exams currently)

Los examenes

Actually there are few more books i didnt include here, but these gave me headache enough :/

And.......



DISTRACTION! X)

dont blame me since i need to search some exam topics on the net. hah!
(btw it's a diego wallpaper hehee)

The exam will be starting next week, 3 subjects, and I've finished studying 2 of them yay!
It will end on next Friday and after that I will enjoy my 1week-break by practicing organ everyday for the exam :/ NERVOUS!

*fingers crossed*

Ciao! -Jo xx

KL, here i come =)

exams are over and im going to KL tomorrow!
sakti called me today, when i was having my electone class my cell kept vibrating, i thought it was the renter who wanted to confirm me about the room but it was him =)
he was so lively on the phone, many things to be told i suppose ^^
bought presents for lan today, and for myself, haha..i saw this shirt really attracted to my eyes and it was 50% discounted so i couldn't stand it anymore,lol. long time i didn't shop for myself anyway. just consider this as a chinese new year's new shirt, i used to get one when i was a kid =)

remembering the exams i did few days ago, makes me not that happy. OB was okay, but im quite worried about BAF. i'll pass for sure but i don't think i can obtain an A =( it's just too complicated to explain why im not confident to get an A, thinking about it makes me feel regretful.
after the exam i went straightaway to esplanade to watch an orchestra.
BRAVO!
it was awesome, and the prime minister was there as well, haha..i could see him from circle 3, far down there. the violinist solo was very skillful. i remember the second piece that she played sounded kinda 'painful' at the beginning, but energetic towards the end =)
beethoven rocks~ ^^
it was the first time i watched a real orchestra, i was really excited! a week ago i just finished watching drama 'nodame cantabile',a funny drama about music. it was about orchestra also, that's why i was so happy to see the real one with my own eyes.. i will attend another one soon on 22nd of this month.. =) hope to see more and more concerts but my money will be finishing so fast, haha..

ok i gotta go to bed now, otherwise tomorrow i'll be late for my bus.
hope i can get online and post some more stories when im in malaysia ^^
holidays! =) *this is such a contrast with people who mostly just started their new term, heehee*
