Finally a camp update! Took some time to upload the vids and pictures online =P
So camp just passed last week, and it was really relaxing and fun! One thing I love about church camps is it being held in Peacehaven. The cold weather, the warm fuzzy jackets, the hot cup noodles, and late night chats =) And memories were dated as long as 11 years back! And each and every year, camp is different. The group is different, people come in and out. Different speakers, different rooms (one facing the sewer, one facing the beautiful scenery =P), different fooood! (they have better dishes this year hehe) and different weathers.. (2 years back, it was less colder than other years, n i was in shorts all d time). The place just has a nostalgic feeling, i miss the old times, but enjoy the new ones nonetheless.
And after camp, we would either head to Gohtong Jaya or Bukit Tinggi for lunch. This time however, gave an unexpected turn. Our family car was behind Un. Eric's on the way down, when we got to know that his car brake wasn't working properly. He decided not to risk climbing another mountain, and we followed behind just to make sure all's right. And we ended up having Selayang Seafood for lunch! Crabs...Prawns...Sashimi...mmmmmmm =)) The car break incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise! =P
Here are some vids taken from camp..(which took a few days to upload, blame Streamyx) pics will be up later as it takes some time to arrange it. Enjoy!
Group Cheers: (each group's name has to end with-ite)
"Kindlites" showing us some kindness
The Meterorites causing fright. *Jennifer's so cuteee!!
The Cryptonites being cannibals =P
No vid for my group the Granites, as i was holding the cam. Our cheer begins with a "We are grand!" "We are knights"! We are the Granites!!! .. LOL..
And some random jamming vids:
Lester teaching Wei-Li how to play the song, in a creative way =P
A snippet of Lucky. Kindly ignore the weird laughter at the end......
So here it is, camp update no.1! I finally am free to update, cause I'm forced to quarantine myself at home due to unforseen and unwanted sick bugs. Good part is I get to revive my blog! =P
Carly Smithson from last season's American Idol is back to rock the entire industry with new band The Fallen! And guess what? 3 out of 5 of the members are ex-Evanescence members!! =OO With the band member's talent and credentials, I'm sure this new band will be topping the charts in no time =)
The Fallen
Listen to their first single "Bury Me Alive" here:
Seems like Evanescence has duplicated themselves (hopefully not in a fallen form).
After 14 gruelling weeks of college, I’m finally freeeee!
I kinda shut myself out from people and responsibilities when the assignments and exams come rushing in. (So sry peoplee..=/)Was stressed out seriously....not because of the mountainous workload, but the thought of these mountainous workload. Thinking bout all the datelines caused me to brand the word BUSY on myself. Hence, I appeared offline everytime, went for less activities... hoping I would concentrate more on removing mountains in front. It didn't really work actually, but oh well, determination doesn't come easy to a self-proclaimed procrastinator.
But now it feels like everyday is a brand new day!
Endless possibilities await me everyday…just lovee the freedom of being able to plan what fun activity I should do next every moement. Being not bound to datelines, tasks and boring lectures, makes might spirit lighter! =P Ahh kua cheong abit …but dats exactly it.
Just feeel like going to beaches and parks just to breathe in nature, and be inspired again. 6 weeks of holss… perfect season for tulislagu-ing! WIP! =) Too bad KL has no beach, and no safe parks to lepak. Books are my source of inspiration for now haha.
Just hopee these 6 weeks will seee some productivity and good enjoyment!
And tis the season for reunions as well…no better timing than now =)
And finally, I get to do advertisements! The last time I ever did that was in Design 101 way back during the ADP years lol. Hopefully the Photoshop skills are not mouldy yet.
Tasks:
1. TV Commercial (70% done)
2. Print Ads x 2 (0%)
3. Radio Jingle (0%)
[tho i think im jz gonna reuse the "Joynn" song for this. Why spend more time creating a new tune? =P]
So much to do, and so little time!
Hopefully the ads will turn out well, then i'll be able to post them here..keke.
Totally unexpected and shocking...! David slained Goliath =O
The winner, confetti and the finalists.
I feel Adam Lambert was kinda robbed of the crown tho.. given his amazing vocal chops and consistent performances.. However, Kris was the one who showed real growth all through out the whole competition, thus probably deserving the title more than Adam. And Kris just happened to be one of my favs =) Adam is an excellent singer, but his style and genre is just not my type of music..hehe. Go singer-songwriters!!! =P
To sum up, this season showcased the most diversed and talented contestants ever in Idol history. Now it's time to wait for the "rise" of the idol contestants. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye/ear for Allison, Matt and Kris' music. On Danny, really love his voice.. but not really sure what kinda music he'll make...so we shall wait and see! This gonna be exciting! =)
In a nutshell, my fav performances of this season are:
Kris Allen - Falling Slowly, Make You Feel My Love, Ain't No Sunshine, Heartless
Adam Lambert - Feeling Good, Track of My Tears
Allison Iraheta - Give in to Me, Someone to Watch Over Me
Matt Giraud - You Found Me, So Small
Danny Gokey - Come Rain or Come Shine, What Hurts the Most, September
Worst Performances:
"No Boundaries" by both Adam and Kris. No idea how Kara could come out with a song like dat.
(Update: Just heard both studio versions of the songs..and they're a 100 times better than the live ones! esp Kris' =P)
Now as we bid farewell to entertainment loaded Wed and Thurs nights, we can say hello to American Idle nights.
This past 7 days could be summed up in one word : CRAZY.
Assignment crazy that is. Having 3 datelines whihc were 2 days apart from each other was just no breeze in the park. I practically slept in the morning...("earliest" was 8am), and walked around like a zombie the entire week. My mind was so blank, that one of the dateline days, I went to the wrong library to return books...and pressed level 3 on the lift when I was already at level 3! See what assignments could do to humans...
Anyway, finally submitted my finance assignment yesterday... which was only after many hours of staring blankly at the questions, not understanding a single question being asked. Am sooooo relived that it's finally done and gao dimmed with... after finals, I won't have to touch Finance ever again~! its jz bad that i'm bad at it =/ Now there's an advertising assignment due next Fri, then finals, and 6 weeks of holss!! =DD
With that said, did many enjoyable things to have a mini post-horrid week celebration. Went to watch Sell-Out in the morning with Zheng Ling, Jian Xuan and Carrie.
One of the movie's most hilarios scenes x)
(PostBlog: i've no idea why the words below are centralized, can't seem to fix it..=/)
It's a local show... one of the few that I would go to a cinema and watch. Feeling the itch of watching a movie, we chose to watch Sell Out after skipping some funny titles like Power Kids and the like. We went in without any expectations, having not read any sypnosis.., and the movie was just.... unexpected!
It was everything a typical movie isn't, makes fun of the mundanity of life.. (if there's such a word) and has many sudden unexpected moments! One of them is recognizing a familiar face in it! =P The main message of the movie was I guess, money & fame, and to what extend people take just to achieve them. But it was so comical la.. even in supposedly serious scenes... The actors would suddenly break out into singing dramatically, and there are scenes which are just plain weird..which made it all the more funny! I think I was laughing too much till the entire cinema (only2 rows of ppl lol) was most likely annoyed by me kaka.. All in all, its definitely a must watch !! (Plus the main actor is cutee!!!! =P)
Oooo on a side note.. I was surfing Youtube today.. and they have this new "Spotlight: Music Tuesday" coloumn/box on the front page. And featured was Zee Avi, (whom I've never heard of), who happens to be a Malaysian, and her music blew me away!! My, I was so inspired just listening to her songs... 23, and found by a recording label man who was youtube scouting, and now in LA recording and performing in shows! How come Malaysia has not heard of her??? If you enjoy relaxing and catchy jazz tunes... you should definitely check her out athttp://www.youtube.com/KokoKaina. A montage of her songs live :
Also, went for Worship Central's event at DUMC tonight. Tim Hughes and Al Gordon worship led, and shared with us on passion and worship. I've never heard Al's songs before, am listening to his cd which we jz bought, and he's pretty good! The event was pretty good, they covered more on the spritual prep side on worship, and not the technical parts..which was still fine for me. And I finally got to try out the food at the cafe! An. Irene the owner, used to manage OMF in Cameron where we went twice as kids.. My family adoredddd all the lovely delicacies and meals she prepared for us there, and wanted to come n "visitvisit" after knowing she's now here. However Wei-Li and I didn't go up to her..as we guess she most probably can't remember us....(1o years ago wei..), maybe next time went we come with our parents. And the scones were yummy! =)
Some pics of the night:
Beautiful stage.
The church members who went : An Lily, An Jenny, Rebecca and Lester! =)
I, Li and Joanna! -who's back from T-shirt stated college =) (missing a B)
After the event, we weree hungryyy.. so went to SS2's KTZ for suppperrrr!
