KTV part 2~

17april.. Went with YW to the ktv in Bugis before her new school term starts. As usual, we like to take many photos.. But somehow YW's eyes looked a lil weird in some photos. Hehe.. Not so obvious in pictures she sent me, she'd probably deleted them to 'destroy evidence'. Lol..

First zi pai: Nice, though the angle's kinda screwed, leaving lotsa space. I would've drawn or put something in the black background if i have Adobe Photoshop^^

This ktv room is the smallest that i was in... Been here 3 times: 1st time super big room, 2nd time BY and i got a smaller room, 3rd time round.. oh what a small room with little leg room!


As YW isn't someone who listens to radio frequently (neither do i actually.. but somehow i get to know many new songs) i introduced her to many songs (both new and old) that are fun/easy, or even better both! to sing.

Gary Cao's 爱爱.. Angela Zhang's 爱上爱的味道and香水百合.. These songs are cute and easy to sing. I aren't sure which album(s) both Angela's songs came from, cos i got those songs from Jess' laptop, i liked them so much that upon listening to it, i 'koped' the songs from her laptop. So catchy tunes! YW could catch up with the tunes just by seeing the lyrics and sang together with me even though she'd never heard of the songs before. Haha really catchy indeed.

Sang Zhuo Wenxuan's Super No. 1, 甜甜圈.. which are saccharine sweet.. YW don't quite recognise the singer as the actress in 公主小妹(宫茉莉).. not surprising though cos once when we were in HMV, she pointed to辰亦儒's face in a Fahrenheit poster and said 'Hey isn't this the guy from公主小妹?' I replied 'Yeah, this is a Fahrenheit's poster what?!' Then she was like 'Ohh, he's from Fahrenheit...' Me *faints*

We also sang another one of Zhuo Wenxuan's song 小脾气.. Woah super high pitch! '小脾气耍点小脾气..' the 2nd '小脾气' got me breathless haha can't hit the key la! Not forgetting the duet she sang with Xiaogui.. Heh.. Just wanna see cute cute Xiaogui in the MV^^

Free flow of soft drinks available! Sing and drink, sing and drink.. And then head for the toilet. LOL..

After attempting to hit some high notes (but failed, cos i arent blessed with high pitched vocals) sang songs with lower keys. Need to sayang sayang my voicebox la~

Jolin's songs.. Liked old songs like 我知道你很难过,你还爱我吗, though the MV for the former song really shucks! Then picked some 必点k songs like倒带,假装. It isn't hard to notice Jolin's transformation over the years. From flat chested teenybopper to S figure dancing diva~

And i think i may have talked about Elva's transformation in prev ktv entries, i've got STM sometimes..
Can get a shock from watching the MV of 窗外的天气, it's a nice song that i used to like when i was younger^^ If i were Elva, i would have fired the make up artist and hairstylist. Make her look so plain Jane lorh! She could've looked much better with the right make up.

Cloud hogs 2 microphones!
lalalala~

It's fun to go sing KTV again... Cloud's aren't bored.. With YW around..
Haha.. She usually sings without emotions (not that i am very emotive but i try to go with the feel of the song) which will be kinda weird when she smiles and sings lyrics which goes along the lines of 'i'm so sad that we've to break up' Then when i asked her about it, she said 'Break up arh.. break lor.. i also can be happy one mah!' LOL.. Babe u rock!


In this photo, it seems like both of us are wearing coloured contact lenses.. haha.. Especially YW who has big eyes.. We gazed at the image in her camera for quite sometime, pretty amazed at her 'blue eyes'.

From the LCD tv screen in the background, can see the name of the ktv, which spells the end of our ktv session. The high tech ktv rooms nowadays can automatically stop at stipulated timings, so gone were the days where people can hog the room and 死赖着不走sing for at least an hour more.

KTV part I

Went to sing karaoke again with BY after she came back from Tokyo~
Same place.. Same timeslot since that's the only weekday that i'm free for the whole day =p
As to why this post is titled KTV part I?
Cos I went with YW again the very next week cos she said she wanna have some fun before her sch term starts on 21apr^^
But i haven't seen her online this few days.. eh YW send me photos leh~ Haha..

The room allocated's a little smaller than the one we were in the previous time, but there's still room for me to lie like this.. LOL.. lalalala~




I also like the blue round chair, shaped like an egg.. so nice to sit on.. and can swivel about..
I am one person who can't sit really still if u were to put me on a swivel chair, i will swing left and right, left and right.
And i have no idea why BY looked tired in all the pictures that day, so she didnt ask me to take more pictures.. hehe..


The previous time we came, we sang almost all of our favourite K songs, so this time round i went straight to the 'Latest songs chart' to search for new songs to sing. Like 吴克群的'为你写诗' 曹格的'无辜'but since BY don't listen to the radio, she hadn't heard of these newer songs, so i was the one singing for quite awhile~

Later, i chose some 'oldies' (in my perception) cos those were the songs that i liked when i was in primary school. Like 梁咏淇的'胆小鬼', 陈晓东的'心有独钟', 郑秀文的'出界'和'值得', 还有王菲的'闷'. If you happen to grow up in the same era as me, do those songs ring a bell in your head? Or you are just so cute, you grew up listening to children's rhymes & songs?? =D

BY sang some Karen Mok's songs, which i think really suit my vocals as Karen has a naturally alto pitch voice. Both of us also like 卓文萱's songs, her voice is just so super saccharine sweet, it's fun just to act cute when we're singing her songs. Next time can take a break from singing Cyndi's (another act cute 教主) songs and switch to singing Genie's.

BY grew bored after sometime, cos whenever she go sing Ktv, she only pick those songs that she's familiar with... There u see, i secretly took a picture of her playing her Nintendo.
I can't remember how long i was hogging the microphone...
Haha.. singing new songs and old songs^^


------------------------------------------------------------------
After leaving the KTV, i spotted 2 familiar faces in the crowd heading to Bugis Village from Bugis Junction~ Javin and Keely from Campus Superstar II.. Haha.. They're really together la, going out and holding hands. I remember the other contestants in the show kept teasing the girls champion Keely about that Mr J then, but they refuse to diverge any details =p

Talking about this reality show contestants, I think i may have seen 唯我独尊's Gavril Skaros (that macho guy with good Pan-Asian looks who's really popular among the panel of 50 'beautiful ladies' judges and the hosts) 3 weeks ago in Tampines Mall. I aren't 100% sure if it's him cos i just watched part of the 1st episode when it first premiered on tv that Monday. Then on Saturday, I saw this tall & lean guy walking past me, i don't know why but i subconsciously turned my head in his direction. (Hee hee cos he's a natural headturner??!?)
Then he happened to turn his head too, so i saw his facial side profile, those 'slightly angmoh angmoh' good looks. I thought 'Isn't he the Greek guy on that new tv show?' Haha.. By then he had already walked away & i aren't huachi enough to make a 'U-turn' in my path to follow him to get a better glimpse, so what i can say is i'm 90% sure it's him!!! =p
Cos if u know me well enough, i'm one who can recognise faces pretty well amidst a large crowd (yes, i aren't bragging) and i often spot many familiar faces of people from my sec sch, jc or somtimes even pri sch whenever i go out~ From favourite teen haunts like Orchard, Cityhall area, Bugis to even Botanical Gardens. But at times, i hadn't seen that person for so long that i can't remember whether he/she was my sec sch or jc school mate. LOL.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud's one person who can be put in a ktv room and sing for the whole day as there's just so many songs that she'd known over the years that she wants to sing =p

KKKKKKKKKTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day spent as a backstage crew for Dance Ensemble's performance

First time doing backstage stuff.. hehe.. I'm usually the one sitting in the audience, watching the end product, never been part of the backstage crew. So this is really an interesting experience!

Went to Victoria Theatre on Saturday morning with Angel, Desi & Yan ning... Some of them reached there much earlier & the preparation work actually began on thur, but i wasn't free on thur & fri night to help out. Everyone's dressed in dark coloured clothes & wore shoes with rubber soles so as not to create any unnecessary noises.
See below~
Haha.. I 忙里偷闲sneaked away to take my camera and took a few pictures of people busy at work on the stage, before resuming my work^^


Can see the rows and rows of seats in Victoria Theatre?
The red seats look so bright and nice in this picture =p
But actually the theatre's not very big.

And that's taken backstage, costumes laid out on the floor to facilitate quick costume changes in front of the mirror such that the performers can check whether everything's in place before going back onstage.

Mirror in one of the many dressing rooms, which isn't occupied by performers (i won't be able to get in there) but instead it was occupied by the backstage crew's bags & boxes of mineral water.. Haha..
The light bulbs protruding out from the perimeter of the mirror are so cute! =)
And there's a speaker above which enables people in the room to hear what's going on onstage, so they won't miss the time for them to perform.


Few precious photos that serve as memory of my time spent there..
Doing sai gang.. Lol.. Anywhere that needs help, we'll go.. One of the in-charge there said jokingly that even domestic helpers have a specific job scope, but we? Our job scope can be described as 'Others' & have to be on call like 24/7.
Spent much time putting together the performance brochures which are going to be sold at the entrance, it involves many different sheets of paper printed on nice paper and colour coded. We arranged them according to height of papers and put them in a paper file. There were around 500/600 files and we completed putting most of them within hours in a factory assembly line style. 1 person's in charge of putting together 2 to 3 pieces of paper and pass it on to another person, at the end of the line, 1 or 2 persons will put more than 10 sheets of paper into 1 paper file. While another person arranges the files into stacks of 10/20 and do the counting. Hitting first 100, then 200... Yeah! How many more to go~ To keep the spirits up.. Haha..

There are 2 shows on that day. 3pm and 8pm. Many kids attended the afternoon show, i think they are part of drama/dance clubs. Most of the girls (like me) sat and watched both shows, to cheer and clap at the right moments to help bring up the atmosphere in the audience. Haha.. we are like the 'fake enthu' audience. Leave the backstage prop shifting to the guys =p
The most sian part is waiting for the night show to start.. slacked around the backstage, joined Yan ning who's playing 'find words in a jumbled puzzle' type of game using Angel's book. Strained our eyes to look for the words. Horizontal ones are the most easy to spot but those words put in a diagonal manner or words in reverse order are so hard to spot. People who walked by helped to look for the words too.. Haha.. Then Derek lao shi's like 'aiyo this kind of game so waste time.' Yan ning replied 'But we've got time to waste!' Yeah true..
Derek lao shi wanted Yan ning to pass him the book and began to strain his eyes to look for the last word in that page which we'd problems finding. Eventually Zhi cheng found the word, lao shi was like 'Don't tell me, i want to find it myself.' Yan ning was like 'Hur? I thought u said this game very waste time de?!'

Then Derek lao shi flipped the pages of the book and asked whose is it, when Yan ning replied it's Angel's... lao shi began to add in things into the book.
There's a title for the words to look for in each page and he began to write phrases/words that are somehow related to that title. Very sarcastic and bad one lorh... But it's very funny, all of us were craning our necks to see what's he writing before he flips the page.
Bing zhi happened to walk by and when he saw what was written inside, he said 'Aye never mind, just say it's written by Zi kang.'
Zi kang went 'WHAT!?! I heard my name!' immediately & came over. BZ quickly said 'Ohh nothing.. i say ZK 很帅' Lol.. 骗谁嘛? BZ turned his head away and said 'Argh! Can't stand it, i want to go puke liao' and he walked off.

For eg. (the ones in italic is what he wrote the moment he saw the title)
Superhero = Derek
My daughter = It will never be you
If by chance = I dont wanna see u again
Another word for 'Dirty' = Angel
Football = Your head
River = Jump into it and drown (lao shi was stuck at this for a split moment.. he said 'ahh.. this one hard to write.. then YY said 'Jump in'....)
Starts with E = E.... idot
Starts with C = CooCoo Angel
Extra practice. look below for more words = 10 things i like about Derek
There's a whole lot more... I can't remember that much.. But all is like suan-ing Angel one lorh..
He wrote around 40 pages, he would have continued writing cos 越写越爽i guess, if not for YY who said 'u wrote so many pages, can stop le la...' Haha.. I'm so sorry Angel.. It's just so funny lorh..


Night show
Mostly secondary school students~
They can cheer and clap more loudly than we do, haha so we needn't cheer or clap much during that show. Saw Vincent Ng when he walked to his seat in the front rows. Woots! He wore a cap pulled low to 'hide' his face, but no use la~ People still recognise him. YY's the first to notice.. 'Hey! weng1 qing1 hai3 leh!!!!!' Haha.. 帅哥!
There's a former actor (cameo? or stage actor? i dun quite remember.. but i just thought his face's like so familiar, i should've seen him on tv before) seated on the same back row with us. The director sat beside him before the interval, btw the director Luis had cameos in many Mediacorp dramas over the years, mostly as Ah bengs. Haha.. The sec sch guys in the row in front of us recognised him too, i overheard them saying 'That guy in white shirt, starred in同心圆leh'

During the interval we went out to take a break, saw something really interesting¬
Shall title this section:
HOW TO MAKE SMALL BOUQUETS OF FLOWERS IN 3 MINUTES
-Take a stalk or stalks of flowers from flower displays at the lobby presented as gifts to wish for a successful performance.
-Tadah! Within minutes u can get a small bouquet instantly, which can be used to present to the performers at the end of the show
Good idea sia!!!¬~
Free one surmore..

The performance's great.. Yeah.. The performers are all senior dancers~ So technique wise.. perfect! Even if there's any mistakes, they'll be skilled enough to cover up to ensure a flawless performance. What i admire is that they can sing and dance at the same time without sounding breathless. Or rather singing while dancing looks so effortless! Dancing so graciously with FEEL.

End of performance, time to pack up & clear the stage.
Zi kang suddenly came running around excitedly saying '有人送我花!有人送我花!'
We were like 'HUR?!' he didnt perform why would anyone give him flowers? Then a girl came up and said Zi kang took the flower that she wanted to give someone else. LOL... So malu!
Undeterred, ZK tried this again (twice) with flowers he got from i dunno where and claimed that it's his, until everyone got so sian... Wei ren went 'hah nah hah nah.. 我送你花!' taking the flower from ZK and passing it to him again.
Then when he took a big bouquet of flowers out (everyone could recognise that it's the bouquet presented to the director onstage) and said 有人送我花! again, everyone was like 'He's so childish!' Can't stand him, but it's funny~

Forgot to mention there's another guy which many can recognise. 玖健he's like the singing lead in the production. I remember him acting in a sitcom many many years ago.. he wrote many songs for tv dramas too. At the end of the performance, while we were clearing up, he came up to us and treated us to almond biscuits and thanked us for our help rendered. Nice~

Reached home at 1140pm...

Cloud had an interesting experience as backstage crew~
As the men in black..

OH.. How much i love Deathnote movies..

The 2 Deathnote movies premiered on channel U on the last 2 Sundays, took this opportunity to rewatch them again~

Really love some scenes from the 1st movie..
The one where Light Yagami evaded L & other police officers' surveillance in his room by putting a small piece of paper cut from Deathnote into a bag of potato chips & hid a small mobile phone like device which can be used to watch the latest news on tv. So he secretly wrote the name of a criminal onto the paper while pretending to eat the chips & do his homework. Even the God of Death Ryuk's amazed at his intelligence & asked what will happen if his sister were to eat that bag of chips? Light replied confidently that he's the only one in this household who will eat Original flavoured chips. At that point in time, i was also amazed at his intelligence.
He put all the rules in Deathnote to good use & even asked God of Death to add in a fake rule in Deathnote 2. That makes him the smartest Kira of them all, the other 2 Kiras were all made used of by him.

What i admire about this character, Light is that he's very calm (overly composed at times), know his own abilities & made bold plans to achieve his aim of creating a crimeless society which would have succeeded if not for genius detective/agent L. He fooled everyone, including his family and girlfriend whom he plotted to kill by manipulating another person to shoot her by describing how the person died using the Deathnote. Again, that shows how he made good use of Deathnote's ability to let the user write down the time & situation in which the would-be victim will die. So evil lorh~
So God of Death Ryuk commented that he's worst than a devil by sacrificing his girlfriend for his own ambitions.. To get into the team to investigate the Kira case after gaining sympathy for the death of his gf caused by Kira.

But Light's ultimately outsmarted & outclassed by another genius --my hero L
The battle of wits makes Deathnote 2: The Last Name an exciting movie to watch with it's intriguing twists & plot which are perfectly logical when pieced together.
The courage L has to put his life on the line just to catch Kira is admirable~
My idol~~~~


I was the only one who wanted to watch Deathnote 2 on Sunday, hogging the only tv set in my house that is in working condition. My dad was watching Flightplan on Channel 5 before Deathnote started & didnt want to watch Deathnote, haha i asked him to continue watching in his room but he didnt. Heehee cos that tv's internal wires have some sort of problems, let u watch 5-15min then auto switch off. That Flighplan movie is quite boliao, find a missing girl on a plane takes 2hours onscreen. *faints* Lin2 Bei4 not so patient arh..
So my whole family ended up watching together with me.. Heheh..
My brother told me that he didnt think he would like this movie when it first came out last year. Thought it's not his type kinda thing. But he was captivated by the logical thinking processes & twists. hmm.. Actually i also dunno what's his type of movie.
I only know my type of movie involves action (the bang-wham-bang) ones or comedies or those that are one-of-a-kind in other words, weird to some people. haha..
I know i like to watch weird movies... My mum will sometimes watch a movie with me on tv but walk away after sometime, saying 'aye yah.. watch so long also duno what's it talking about.. nice meh?' Heheheee.. It's Nice what! (at least it is.. to me)


Cloud hearts Deathnote movies~

Spoilt teenagers of our generation

Just wanna write about 2 incidents which i came across recently..
Well.. It's kinda funny initially but then it's kinda sad to know that the young people these days are so spoilt by the comfortable living environment & took many things in life for granted.

Yesterday while i was in a supermarket's drinks section, this group of young guys walked into the aisle & someone suggested buying a 1.5litre bottle of soft drink since there were so many of them. Then one of them looked at the bottles lining the shelves & said 'Hahh! 不冷的,怎样喝?'
Hmm.. that goes to show that this guy is so spoilt, he can only consume cold drinks.
I wonder how can he survive army life... Surely there aren't chilled water available in the jungles. I think he's gotta die of thirst then. Lol.

A few weeks ago while i was waiting in the dental clinic..
2 young guys and their mum walked in, after their mum made enquiries about the waiting time at the reception (a long time cos the clinic's really packed that day), she turned to them and asked this question which stunned my mom & i. '你们会从这里回家吗?'
Hey! Those 2 aren't primary school kids, they are like secondary school students (at least sec 3?) both of them are of the same height & are dressed in a similar fashion, i think they're twins.
Their mom continued saying that she'd to attend some seminar and intend to let the 2 of them stay there to wait for their turn after having lunch by themselves. But she's concerned that they don't know the way home.
One of the brothers' immediate reply to the above question was '搭taxi la!'
I almost fainted, that means they really don't know how to go home from here.
Their mom continued to talk to them outside the clinic after failing to convince the brothers that they should learn to take a bus & blah blahblah.. Learn to solve their own problems..

10 min later i peeked out of the glass doors of the clinic in curiosity, their mom's still talking to them..
15 min later she's still talking, hmm i wonder whether the brothers are still listening by then..

My mom said 'In the end, the mother will stay with them.'
I didn't quite believe what my mom said initially, but it turned out to be true cos more than half an hour later, the 3 of them turned up at the clinic again.
Aye.. 天下父母心.. Only parents understand parents sometimes~
And that's precisely why the brothers can't grow up & be independent.. Their mom's showering way too much care on them.
Hmph... Those 2 teens are living such a pampered life!!! It's 2 of them, they'll have each other for company if they somehow lost their way in Singapore while taking buses. What's there to be afraid of?? Ghosts? Kidnappers?

That'll be a different case if it's a clueless girl with no sense of direction, trying to find the right bus to take her home at 1130pm. Needn't talk about that at the present moment.


Cloud just can't stand spoilt guys~

Oh..
I'll totally in love with L once again..
After watching the screening of Deathnote 1 on tv on Sunday, i watched that movie on Youtube last year the night before going to the cinema to catch Deathnote 2, it's so nice orh~ Still loving it after watching it the 2nd time round =p

Bought a necklace with the unique 'L' sign this afternoon, gotta wear it frequently until my L craze wears off.. Heehee..

Changed my chinese blog's blogskin to one of Deathnote 3: L Change the World
Cos it's easier to change & preview blogskins templates over at that site..
Can check out my link on the right hand column ---> It'll take u there^^

To be continued...
Wanna talk about my fav scenes in Deathnote 1.. So smart of Kira~ And of L, of course...
In Deathnote 2, everyone will know who's the wiser of them as the battle of wits truly began in part 2.

Oh my dear L~

Freebies.. to gather publicity & entice people to join the Navy..

The board game i had gotten a few months back..
But it's weird though, give 18 year olds a cardboard game, like who will play it? Nowadays people are obsessed with PSP, Nintendo Wii & Dota to care about all those 'antique' games.

But i like a pack of cards sent in a separate mail last year, it contains cards & unlike poker cards printed with numbers & shapes, those came with pictures of the ship/vessel and the speed/torque/power and stuff like that. It's interesting. With my name printed on the card which says 'Captain', but they neglected the fact that some of those on the receiving end are girls, so shouldnt they use a female Captain's image instead? Heehee..

Found this in the paper bagful of stuff gotten that day of A level results release..


Oohs.. can make my own fighter plane!^^

Tadah!!!!!
My very own fighter jet! Though i can never be a fighter pilot, cos my eyesight shucks like hell..
But i like planes.. they are more fascinating than land roaming Lamborghinis. No matter how lavish & luxurious they look, they can possibly fly right?! Lol..


My pet Pigpig playing with the fighter jetplane^^
I call it Oinkoink sometimes.. it goes *oink oink* every now and then~

Very cute lorh~

I love big stuffed animals!~

Oh ya, i spotted a My melody big stuffed toy with pink ears last week in a shop in Century Square.. See price tag $158.. *faints*

Go KTV sing sing sing until drop~
Lol... There's this new KTV in Bugis which BY introduced me to.. the weekday rates are so cheap loh. 11am-7pm with free flow of drinks at $16 only, inclusive of GST & surcharges (^o^) WoW!

Went with her weeks ago, but didnt have time to update my blog then.. Hahah..
She's in Tokyo now, admiring the cherry blossoms in the beautiful spring season.. *envy* So shuang3, just came back from Germany where she spent her Chinese New Year & going to Taiwan soon, when her No.1 ou3 xiang4 release his new album~ Haha she plans to 'chase' him all over the island to support him~

The KTV's located in the old Icon building, went there with Clover & Sky 2 years ago.. Could still remember how they raved over the cute miniature stuff in a shop that they forgot there's other shoppers. I pretended i didnt know them by standing a metre away. Lol.. So paiseh loh..
Read in the newspapers last year that the shopping centre's closing down. So i guess this KTV is pretty new~

The sofa's comfortable, with nice lighting too, can choose different modes... warm to disco lights..
And the equipment used to choose songs is high-tech.. touch screen machine leh.. Haha.. And the LCD TV screen is very big, that room that we were given can hold 6 people comfortably and there we are, 2 people only... So shuang3 + more shuang3 =

this.. hahah..
Took many pictures of BY singing or rather posing.. Cos she wanna get nice shots.. haha but i usually take nice shots, so no problems!

Posed with BY's 'guitar' -her slingbag.. Rocker Cloud!!!!!!!! Woots!


J-Rocker BY~
Forgot to wear the cute headband when taking pics just now..
The unique headbands complete the Japanese inspired outfits..
Terrorist BY??!!
I dunno what she was trying to do then..
That's her headband aka mask over here..
I like her jacket, bought from the same shop in Bugis Village that day. Very Jap style. I like, but too bad it's the last piece and there isn't my size available. I've got long arms lehx.. Not easy to buy jackets.

Sang many many songs, but given my 'extensive' knowledge of Chinese songs, there's still many songs that we didnt have time to sing.
When singing karaoke, i always play cheat by selecting 原音with the original singer's voice in the background while BY likes to select 伴唱where there's only music accompanying her own voice. That's the purpose of going to a KTV la.. but then my vocals are quite weak & soft since i dunno how to use my diaphragm to sing. Use throat only lor.
Oh and BY's good in singing, she sang during a certain school celebration concert last year i think, in front of the whole school *claps claps*
Ask me sing in front of a crowd, i sure CMI one, maybe dance lor.. hahah.. easier..
Brought lunch into the ktv lounge as there's only finger food sold in there, smuggled in using BY's bag, amazing hur? Her bag looks kinda small but it can actually hold a big box of biscuits, pockey, 杂酱面&卤肉饭 dapao from the Taiwanese cafe next door. Well, first time eat 杂酱面in ktv room^^
As the hours passed by, we got a little lazy as we'd sat on the sofa for hours, sang rock songs from Yida (her fav) and Ke You lun, put her 'guitar' to good use~
She started singing in a super act cute voice, haha.. i'm perfectly fine with that, but the thing is, she's singing a Yida's song. Dots.. I asked her to choose that 爱的主旋律by小鬼&卓文萱cos her act cute voice reminds me of how Zhuo wen xuan sang in that song. True enough, that suited her^^ And i get to see Xiaogui in the MV *loves*
Watched some MVs and got 一想不到的收获.. In FIR's MV Fly Away filmed 4 years ago, Jiro Wang from Fahrenheit was one of the male leads. Alamak! Why didnt i notice him earlier? Hmm.. Then i realised Danson Tang yuzhe was in one of Cyndi's MV, forgot the name, cos Cyndi's MV and music style's more or less similar. He wore hot pink to match her MV's colour scheme. Erhmm..
Sang a whole string of Cyndi's songs, chosen by BY. Not because both of us like her, but cos her songs are easy to sing. Can just lie down on the sofa & sing one lor.
Realised her songs & dance steps are somehow recycled.. But under all that repackaging.. The stark similarities cant be covered up. 爱你's dance steps are similar to another song's (dancers stand in 1 row together with Cyndi and they do some cute steps together) 睫毛弯弯&飘飘tunes and the starting part are kinda similar. 当你, 月光&翅膀are basically the same type of Cyndi's brand of slower tempo k-songs.

Realised Karen Mok's songs really suit my vocals cos her voice's also quite low, so i find her songs pretty easy to sing. Don't need to strain vocals trying to hit the high notes. But have to cultivate the deep emotions to convey the hidden tinge of sadness in the slow tempo songs.
CLOUD had a fun day singing karaoke~
Whoever's free on a weekday, let's go there sing ktv again!~

Started my first lesson as an assistant trainer in Cartooning^^

Woots.. I love cartooning!

Teaching 40 pri sch kids, so besides the teacher, there's an assistant (which is me) to handle the kids. Much time was spent on asking them to keep quiet & stop walking/running about. Kids just can't sit still for a moment and they have extremely short attention spans.
Just an hour for class is barely enough to teach anything.

It's kinda impossible to remember any names of those kids since there are just so many of them. But there's some troublemakers that one can pick out easily. This boy called Junior just couldn't sit still and kept disturbing people. He even lie down on the floor in the middle of class and told the teacher 'Ahh i'm dead!' Lol.. Some boys at the back threw things around & will do 'shuttle run' at the back of the class when they thought no one's looking.
And there were regular complaints from kids that goes like
'Cher! He steal my pencil!'
'Cher! He always disturb me'
'Cher! He kick my chair!'
'Cher! He tickle me ah, i can't draw properly'
Hmm there should be more coming up during the next lesson~

Took up this job cos of interest not because of pay.. Cos it's really not worth it in money sense.
I have to spend 4h in total to travel from Pasir Ris to this ulu-ulu-ulu school in Boon Lay and the lesson is only 1h long. So i only get paid for an hour's work.
My mum was like 'Why did u take up this 1h per week job????'
Until she saw the title: Cartooning
Then she went 'No wonder, so far away, so little pay you also want.'
Haha.. she knows that i love drawing cartoonish stuff since i was young.

I hope that i can get more assignments to fill up the other weekday mornings and afternoons. Haha my weekday nights are all filled~ That's where the major part of my income is going to come from. Just have got to sacrifice my night time tv marathon sessions.
So i'm still looking for part time weekday morning/afternoon jobs to keep my day time occupied~

Being an art teacher is so cool~ Haha.. so fun~
I'm assisting Fai who's a student in LaSalle... His first question to me was 'Are u schooling?' When i replied 'No', he asked 'U just completed O Levels?'
I was like 'Do i look that young?'
Lol.. so happy lorh~ Look like secondary school girl =p
Another fellow assistant who's a poly Design school graduate thought i was from LaSalle.
So i figured out that a little fairy must have slipped some 'exlir of youth' potion into my Milo at breakfast time.

The other teachers include students not only from LaSalle but NUS sch of design & environment too. Not all are professional art teachers... Haha.. these people cheaper to employ lor, so i figured out that the company that we are working for must be earning a lot of money.


Cloud wants to re-connect with her lost Art & Craft abilities due to many years of negligence cos of hectic sch life~
