Some more holidays

Still in Hong Kong. Vic and I went to H&M. Bought a hot pink sweater to match my hot pink beanie, pink wool beret for Amanda cos she wanted my hot pink beanie. Trust me, it still cost more than my beanie. Sparkly blue tank and bare-back top for my cousin's Christmas present. Mom bought a black necklace. Vic bought a beanie and some other stuff. I went to Cotton On who luckily sold shorts, so I bought a red pair for our Christmas family rendezvous in Phuket. I am so dreading this Christmas cos we just had the same thing 2 years ago and it was crap. Except now we have a _ _ _ _. But my family of 5 is coming in late so we have to stay at the villa, which is an hour away from all the other cool families. We are so going to be MIA. Not that I care. I wouldnt be having fun anyway.

Happy Holidays!

Sightings

Ha! Spotted:An old american couple outside a Sex Shop(in that stripper club place near Palais Renaissance or P.S. Cafe) and "admiring" their goods.And you thought they were just pathetically and reluctantly old. Here's a few questions you should find the answers to. It'll be easier to infer from this rare sighting:
1. What are they doing there?
2. Will they buy anything?
3. If they will, what are they going to buy?
4. Are they doing the 364 952nd thing to do before they die?(experimenting new methods of doing it by buying sex equipment?)
5. Perhaps they're just tourists who are lost...
Please ponder and tell your inferences.

Words

I have encountered old words that have not been used for so long, that now, they're back and cooler than ever. Here's a list so far. I will be editing throughout.
1. Utter
2. Unravel
3. Jiffy

Nothing much happened to me since I last posted. I had Chinese tuition on Monday. Flute and CCA on Tuesday. And today, i'm having Chinese tuition again, piano and tennis.Ugh. Tomorrow I have piano(different teacher) and then I have to go to school to collect my school books. Oh yeah, I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua with Yan, Kym and Sarah on Friday. Vic had church friends over so they played with the Xbox the whole time. Yan and I went to Jazzcats while Kym managed to find a bus to go home. (Sarah left already) I was walking home with my mom when my brother, his friend, cousin and his friend were walking to Video Ezy to return a DVD and rent a new one. Came home, showered and went out with my mom, sister and aunt to some Italian restaurant. Came back home and found my brother, his friends, cousin and his friend watching a really freaky scary movie. My sister and I chickened out. They finished the movie and my sister showed my cousin and his friend her prom pictures. Just when she was describing abnormal female parts, my brother's friend appeared. I quote from my sister "Why do you always suddenly appear?" Oh, and he likes stuffed animals too! I'm not actually surprised judging by his pink apparel. On Saturday after CCA, Kym and I watched Winx Club:The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. Chloe couldn't come so she owes me $11.20. Kym owes me $20. Nikki owes me $10. Cheryl still owes me $5. I will stalk all of you until you give me the money.
Dont keep me waiting

Recent Living

Yes! It rained today! Just when I was having tennis! No offense to those tennis and sun lovers. Oh, and if you haven't been to my house recently, my old refrigerator has been exposed of and there's a massively huge one that is now jutting out into the middle of the kitchen because it cant fit into the space between our cupboards(or eating-on-impulse-hoard) But the new one is cool. Anyway, we might be hacking the cupboards so there's space for the fridge. By the way, i'm leaving to Shanghai for the holidays, then Hong Kong, probably then USA and finally Christmas in Phuket where we are staying in a villa, an hour away from all our cousins. So, I wont be updating much. But hopefully, my brother will post the pictures on facebook and I will steal it and post it here. Next year.
Happy Holidays!

Celeb Gossip

I have gossip I stole from MSN:
Eleven-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys, who's in contention for five American Music Awards including Artist of the Year, will join Kanye West to perform live in Hollywood during the gala show next month.

Meanwhile, she's pursuing her other career on the big screen, co-starring in "The Secret Life of Bees".

Q: You were determined to do the film even though it conflicted with the tour for your album 'As I Am'. How did you get it all together?

A: It wasn't easy, but I did both because the movie was really important to me. I was traveling back and forth from live performances to the film set on a lot of overnight flights. Finally, my body just broke down. I got very sick and I had to end up cancelling some shows, only a couple so it wasn't the end of the world. But it was worth it.

You're a piano virtuoso, but you had to learn a new instrument, didn't you?

Yes, my character plays the cello. So while some of the other actresses were risking getting stung by bees, I was getting calluses on my fingers. The cello was a different experience that was beautiful and challenging. I love it now. I'm still studying, so I'm definitely not ready for a duet with Yo Yo Ma yet. Maybe I'll put it in my next album.

In the film, your character is being courted, but she can't bring herself to take a walk down the aisle.

You can see how much she loves the man that she's with, but fear stops her. She was playing super hard-to-get, which works every time, it drives men crazy, not that I've ever done it.

Are you ready for marriage?

There's almost a stigma to it at this point in a lot of ways, to me. A lot of people have been saying to me, 'Oh don't get married, it ruins everything.' And I'm like, 'Damn, really?' But I definitely want to have a family.

Did you get a kick out of recording the soundtrack song "Another Way To Die" for the new James Bond film?

I saw the film, it's really good. "Quantum of Solace" is a dope title, but I still have no idea what it means. It's a duet with Jack White, which was fun. I've always been a big fan of the White Stripes, and for us to combine this kind of rock and soul feeling was cool. Jack actually really took the lead on it because he's a big, big Bond fan.

4th Thing

OMG! Winx Club Movie is in theaters! I totally didnt know that cause I thought they just air it in Europe and USA. But no! It's finally here! Yay! This is even more exciting than High School Musical 3 to me because:
1. High School Musical 3 was supposed to be on tv not on the big screen. I mean, they're just getting it for more money. Isn't it obvious? Which is why I dont support it.
2. I've crazily been a fan of Winx Club since it began like, I dont know, 5 years ago?
So please dont judge me cause I get excited to watch 6 year old magical fantasies created by Italianos. I never grow out of this stuff. Even _ _ _ _ _ _ movies. The dolls, yes, because who wants to keep on changing clothes on a skinny frame created by America's materialistic yet million dollar earning company?

Although I must give credit to the idea. It's ingenious to turn towards the younger side of the audience. Because as soon as they see something they like, they whine and throw tantrums until they get it, fully paid by they're ever stupid, ever gullible parents. Ditto to youths too. Spoiled ones anyway. Understatement for High School Musical fans, Hannah Montana, The Clique, Winx Club, Barbie, and especially the Jonas Brothers (but they have older fans than the others. I mean, who wouldn't want a hot boy band to obsess about? Exception of me, of course and some other clever equal)) etc.etc.

Three Things

I have three things to tell you.
First: I have just found that the word "meh" is confirmed a word and made it into a dictionary! Congratulations to the creators and pioneers of the "meh". For those of you losers who have no idea what i'm talking about, here's the meaning;
Meh: Indifference; to be used when one simply does not care
Second: I'm finally back from my first ever CCA camp. It was a really tiring experience and I was only able to sleep for 6 hours. (For those high-caffeinated, 24/7 hyperactive, or just hate sleep cos you think you're wasting time, I discipline myself to sleep at least 8 hours every night so please understand)
Third: The Clique Movie DVD is ooooooooouuuuuuuuutttttttt!!!! I hope Yan bought it already. I was at camp.

Time to wrap things up. I have piano soon..
Sweetly,
Owner.(WATCH IT)

Twilight insight

Have you seen Taylor Lautner in Twilight yet? They had like an illustrated guide to the book and movie in Borders and he looks really really weird. Here's a pic:

Anyway, you've ah-bviously seen Robert Pattinson as a vampire(I taste disappointment) in Twilight right? Well, please tell me on the tagboard thing who you would vote for! Taylor or Robert? It's the battle of fictional characters who are dangerous and have feelings developed by imaginative people haunted by paranoia.

TRIBUTE TO AMANDA

As everyone knows(due to Amanda), it's her BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! yay! if this is Amanda, your present is with Hui-Yan. But I still owe you a present. Does a joke count? Never mind, most likely, your present would either be, a week with my ipod(although there's nothing much for you to see.), a funny "You're hitched" (or something) from Party With Us or something you want me to buy. Anyway, thank goodness I remember your birthday because you totally forgot your responsibility to congratulate every GR '08 classmate a happy birthday in the class blog.

Still Some More

(Sugarbabes Presenting an Award)
(The Killers' Performance)

Sadly, although Beyonce looked and sang fantastically, the dress she was wearing looked like a Transformers Defect.
And, on one hand, she had a sort of gold glove that looked really futuristic? It looks like Star Wars' Anakin Skywalker's golden hand...

Stealing the Show

Honestly, I think Katy Perry was in the spotlight for the Europe Music Awards, Liverpool. She hosted, won, performed and wore several different outfits just to do all of it. Here they are:
(Massive Lip Gloss)
("I have to be careful getting off these cherries in case I might just pop them")
("Remember girls, it doesnt matter how big the banana is, it's how you sit on it")
("Vegas is mostly known for gambling, *something* and.....STRIPPERS!)
(The band behind her are all gay)
( supporting Obama)
(With Grace Jones)

(With P!nk)
(Performing Hot N Cold)

I hope we get Gold this time. By the way, Kym and Nikki, try to come on time. Or you'll miss the pizza!

That's it for now. Will show a list of movies I have for you guys to choose

Not Telling

Yeah, i'm not telling what happened in Quantum of Solace because you should watch it. Just saying that it was really short and the ending was not really satisfactory. The End. Nothing happened yesterday. Just lazed around until i had band for 4 and a half hours. Then I forgot to collect my school books so I had to do it today. The service is really crap. I waited there for about 40 minutes before I got the books. But OH NOOOOO they had to run out of stock for 1/4 of my PRE-order so I have to go back again next week. !@#$%^&* Anyway, I have flute soon and maybe after lunch, me and Yan are going to buy a small present for Amanda (if we can find it). By the way, my parents are out of town so if anyone wants to do something at my house when i'm free, please call for reservations.

YES! OBAMA MAKES HISTORY:CHANGE IS VICTORY

FINALLY, the first black president of America. Most of the world is celebrating because:
1) Obama is AWESOME
2) They're happy George Bush is finally gone
I think America got really tired of George and wanted change so Obama gave it to them. Both physically looking and in his speeches.
THANK YOU OBAMA
AND THANK YOU AMERICA FOR FINALLY MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION

ELECTION OF THE DECADE : How the world sees it

Here's something i found in the yahoo news. i think that it's very important to know that most of the world wants Obama as president (except the Israelis. they want McCain but there's more later) Conclusion: if Obama wins, the whole world will be happy. and celebrations! that's also another reason why we should have a party. the other is either post-halloween or pre-christmas. Anyway, :

BERLIN - A world weary of eight years of George W. Bush(FINALYLY) was riveted Tuesday by the drama unfolding in the United States. Many were inspired by Barack Obama's focus on hope, or simply relieved that whoever wins, the current administration is coming to an end.

From Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to the small town of Obama, Japan, the world gears up to celebrate a fresh start for America.

In Germany, where more than 200,000 flocked to see Obama this summer as he moved to burnish his foreign policy credentials during a trip to the Middle East and Europe, the election dominated television ticker crawls, newspaper headlines and Web sites.

Hundreds of thousands prepared to party through the night to watch the outcome of an election having an impact far beyond America's shores. Among the more irreverent festivities planned in Paris: a "Goodbye George" party to bid farewell to Bush. (that's what i call a really happy party full of relief)

"Like many French people, I would like Obama to win because it would really be a sign of change," said Vanessa Doubine, shopping Tuesday on the Champs-Elysees. "I deeply hope for America's image that it will be Obama."

Obama-mania was evident not only across Europe, where millions geared up for all-night vigils, but even in much of the Islamic world, where Muslims expressed hope that the Democrat would seek compromise rather than confrontation.

The Bush administration alienated Muslims by mistreating prisoners at its detention center for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and inmates at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Human rights violations also condemned worldwide.

"I hope Obama wins (because) of the need of the world to see the U.S. represent a more cosmopolitan or universal political attitude," said Rais Yatim, the foreign minister of mostly Muslim Malaysia.

"The new president will have an impact on the economic and political situation in my country," said Muhammad al-Thaheri, 48, a civil servant in Saudi Arabia. Like so many around the world, he was rooting for Obama "because he will change the path the U.S. is on under Bush."

Nizar al-Kortas, a columnist for Kuwait's Al-Anbaa newspaper, saw an Obama victory as "a historic step to change the image of the arrogant American administration(SO TRUE) to one that is more acceptable in the world."

Yet John McCain was backed by some in countries such as Israel, where he is perceived as tougher on Iran.

Israeli leaders, who consider the U.S. their closest and most important ally, have not openly declared a preference. But privately, they have expressed concern about Obama, who has alarmed some by saying he would be ready to hold a dialogue with Tehran.

Bank employee Leah Nizri, 53, said Obama represented potentially frightening change and voiced concern about his Muslim ancestry.

"I think he'll be pleasant to Israel, but he will make changes," she said. "He's too young. I think that especially in a situation of a world recession, where things are so unclear in the world, McCain would be better than Obama."

Even in Europe, McCain got some grudging respect: Germany's mass-circulation daily Bild lionized the Republican as "the War Hero" and running mate Sarah Palin as "the Beautiful Unknown."

In Berlin, Republicans Abroad organized a "November Surprise Election Party" to watch live "how the Republican ticket McCain/Palin comes from behind and leaves the 'liberal elite media' in Europe and the United States puzzled."

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown clung to convention by refusing to say which candidate he wants to see win. Regardless of the outcome, he told Al-Arabiya television while on a tour of the Gulf, "history has been made in this campaign."

In Baghdad, a jaded Mohammed al-Tamimi said he didn't think U.S. policy on Iraq would change. Even so, "we hope that the new American president will open a new page with our country."

Kenyans made their allegiance clear: Scores packed churches on Tuesday to pray for Obama, whose late father was born in the East African nation, and hailed the candidate _ himself born in Hawaii _ as a "son of the soil."

"Tonight we are not going to sleep," said Valentine Wambi, 23, a student at the University of Nairobi. "It will be celebrations throughout."

Kenyans believe an Obama victory would not change their lives much but that hasn't stopped them from splashing his picture on minibuses and selling T-shirts with his name and likeness. Kenyans were planning to gather around radios and TV sets starting Tuesday night as the results come in.

"We will feast if Obama wins," said Robert Rutaro, a university president in neighboring Uganda. "We will celebrate by marching on the streets of Kampala and hold a big party later on."

In the sleepy Japanese coastal town of Obama, which translates as "little beach", images of him adorned banners along a main shopping street, and preparations for an election day victory party were in full swing.

Election fever also ran high in Vietnam, where McCain was held as a prisoner of war for more than five years after being shot down in Hanoi during a 1967 bombing run.

"He's patriotic," said Le Lan Anh, a Vietnamese novelist and real estate tycoon. "As a soldier, he came here to destroy my country, but I admire his dignity.
