Eithne Mania

Hello hello!Eithne Mania is at an all time high.How do i know?Here's a list of reasons.

1. The first site i log on to when i turn on the computer is http://unity.enya.com
2. My post count goes up drastically.On the forum,i mean
3. When quizzed about Christmas carols,i mention Adeste Fideles,Oiche Chiun and We Wish You A Merry Christmas,and press the importance that Enya has recorded the above.
4. I defend the Irish star vehemently whenever someone calls her a recluse.
5. I fall in love with Ireland and make it a definite point to go to County Donegal at least once in my life.(Eithne's birthplace.DUH!!!)
6. Oh,and when in Donegal,Gweedore,go to Leo's tavern.And then hope like crazy that Eithne or Maire is there.
7. I can refer to anything under the sun and connect it to her songs.

There are so many more reasons..Do you wanna hear them?*dodges yet another hatchet thrown by someone*I guess that's a no.Life without Vanessa to call and torture is getting boring.I suppose i'll just have to start writing my reports and doing Christmas shopping.*sigh*Best to get it done and over with,i guess.

Anyways,cheers!

Out of incarceration

Ok.Here's the promised post.:D
I've been dying to convert my blog to accomodate vids nicely and this is the best i could do in abou 1/2 an hour.
As you can see,i've put up 3 vids all concerning Enya down there,so please be a nice person and watch at least Oiche Chiun...It is going to be Christmas after all... :D
Anyways....
The class gathering was...(sorry Valen,sorry XF!!!) kinda like a let down.I dunno.I suppose maybe it's cos somebody stole $60 from me and i threw up cos of one of the games.The extra bummer was that my favourite customised shirt got stained irrevocably.Damn.And because i lost that $60 bucks,i'm not allowed any money this week.Good way to lose weight though,on the optimistic side.
Enya-mania is back,in case you haven't noticed....She's just soooo great.I'm rambling again,ain't i?*dodges hatchet thrown by any unity member*
Yep,sure sign that i am.
Here's wishing y'all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS IN ADVANCE!!!
cheers!

Cold War on myself

I'm feeling terrible.I've declared cold war on everyone and everything.
So there.

Here's to you,Joy

Hello hello..I've been terribly ill for the past few days...and still am...but here's an update anyway.(Joy,you'd better stop pestering me)
I'm really really really really sick now.This morning,i barfed up lots of hydrochloric acid from my stomach.And now i'm coughing to high heaven.
Enough about my illness.I've recently developed this strange obsession with tenpin bowling.And my infatuation with Enya is back.Elaine Paige too.Strange...I now really really really think i'm bi.Hugh Jackman is talented.I've seen him dance,sing and act...And now i hear he can do magic?Impressive..The only other person i respect as much is Daniel Davis.And Sarah Brightman.
Now,i know lots of you think i detest her,but the truth is,the more i learn about her,the more i love her.She's soooo talented!I just saw some vintage clips of her in her Hot Gossip days.It was incredible.And her voice....Truly another Angel of Music.I dunno why,but my past obsessions are coming back to haunt me.Elaine Paige,Sarah Brightman,Michael Crawford,Colm Wilkinson,the artists of the same old...They're just wonderful.New arrivals on the block would include KT Tunstall and some Gregorian monks that sing just heavenly.Oh,not to mention Moya Brennan,Enya's eldest sister.
Ok.Moving on to something else.The comedy 'My Family' is really what's gotten me hooked.It's bloody funny...I have found newfound respect for Zoe Wanamaker,the lady who plays Madame Hooch...Don't you think she's hilarious??!!(You had better have watched the vids below.or at least the one right on top)
Anyways,i've gotta go now.Stupid meds are taking effect..
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Mahjong

I've learnt how to play mahjong.I really dunno why it gives me that kind of innate sense of satisfaction to say it.I'll say it again.I've learnt how to play mahjong.
And the Nanny's back on Hallmark!You wouldn't believe how happy i was when i heard Niles commenting dryly about CC's bad sense of clothes.I was practically jumping up and down.Other than that,i found out Wire in the Blood is coming on Hallmark too and Simone Lahbib is in it,i think.So that's a bonus too.Plus,i found out that the comedy 'My Family' is also airing on BBC Entertainment,which stars Zoe Wannamaker,the lady who plays Madame Hooch in the Harry Potter movies.She's a really good actress,you know,delivering all those comedic lines with a straight face.I wouldn't last a second
Last bit of news.I went to the library on Friday and borrowed around 6 items.A Princess diana picture tribute,Ellen's book 'The Funny Thing Is...',a collection of poems from W.B.Yeats,and another collection by T.S. Elliot.The last item was a travel documentary about the Emerald Isle.I know i'm obessessed,but i really wanna go there.I dunno why.I dunno why i seem to be using dunno such an awful lot today.
Ellen's book is really,really really funny.Not as funny as when she does standup,but funny enough.And the Diana tribute...Let's just say i'll be staring at the pictures for a good few hours.
I think that may cement my reputation as 'gay'.*sigh*Anyways,i shall speak once more when i have more time.This post was written in 8 minutes.:D

BAD NEWS

Bad,bad news.
WE'RE NOT PERFORMING INVISIBLE FRIENDS AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
I'm heartbroken. maybe not so much,but then again..
Ok,i think i'll post more later.

Tadaa!!There's the Only Time one by a Unity member, Horse_luver011.She's great right?She drew both this one and the first pic of Enya which blinks.How cool is that??! Anyways,if you watch the Only Time video,which you should, you would know that this is an exact remake of the scenes from the vid.
IMHO,some people are talented and some are not.Take me for example.I can hardly do anything.I'm just a fat slob that sits around all day,staring at the computer screen.Igh.I need to lose weight.I can feel my fats suffocating me.
*Ahem*Here's an update about Miss Lee.She's well and alive in the UK.But she's still a bloody liar.*sigh*And a peanut.Jesslyn,you should know what i'm talking about,you stupid Carrot.
I'm going mad.I'm calling people veggies and such.Oh.I just spoilt my piano.That's why i'm so depressed.Ah well.Time to call the tuner back here.
Cya!

Pics i like

Mandana Jones

Simone Lahbib

Hello again people!I see i'm still alive.Ok.Today's post shall comprise of mostly pictures ok?So sit back and enjoy.(Not sure if you will, but yeah)

Ok.Will post more in time to come.Adieu!

Bloody exam period.

Bloody exam period's here again.So far i've made it through HCL paper 1,EL paper 1,Lit and History.Tomorrrow's geog and i'm so bloody screwed for it.

[Forgive the excessive swearing in this post,i'm unusually high strung]

Anyways,steering clear from the exams before i truly unleash my rich vocabulary of vulgarities.Believe me,i'll amaze you if you think i'm ignorant.I know enough.
On the bright side,i've just discovered this new series from ITV and Shed Productions.You people won't want to know about it though..it'll probably disgust you more than a dead rat.Won't tell you the title,but i'll tell you the actresses i have come to respect and love.Their names are Simone Lahbib,a lady of Scot-African descent,Mandana Jones,a Welsh-Iranian actress,and Linda Henry,a British actress very much involved in the theatre world.
Personally i ilke Linda the best,as her potrayal of a particular character in the series is really really good.Mandana and Simone were ok,but their chemistry was what rubbed me the right way.Can't wait for the bloody exams to be over.
Did you know that i got so carried away during my lit paper i very nearly described Maslo Inch as a bloody S.O.B. and a b******.I'm really losing my touch.I have to try and reinstate it before i go around cursing to high heaven...

One week more to salvation...

Recounting the experience of shopping @ People's Park

Ok.Make it a point never ever to try and eat lunch with Miss Jo Ann Lee.You'll never make it through alive.I'm telling you.

But first,let me clarify what i was doing with Miss Lee and Abigil in the remote location of People's Park in Chinatown.We were shopping around for some stuff for HIP!And after scouting one shop,my stomach decided to rebel and make some noise.The three of us took around 15 minutes to decide what to eat and we finally decided on the stuffy hawker center.I walked around,and feeling embarrassed that i was having two people following me around,i made a beeline straightaway for the nearest place i could find char siew rice.And so,after i ordered and got my food,we sat down.

And dear Miss Lee decided to start interrogating me.
"Why are you eating char-sao fan?Did you know of this store beforehand?'Cos we noticed that you made a beeline for that stall at once."
Of course,she said it all with a straight face and unfortunately for me,i had already shovelled quite a large spoonful of rice and char-siew into my mouth.And if you know me,i crack up when Miss Lee does that.
I very nearly choked on my food.
And Miss Lee,to make matters worse,turned to Abigil and said:"Y'know,i think we should look away.Looking at her just makes it worse."

In my mind i was like :"You think it'll make it worse??IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT ME OR NOT!!!"
I managed to swallow the food and fix the giggling and bewildered duo with a death glare.

I cracked up again.I tell you.I think it only applies to me,though.No one else seems to laugh at everything Miss Lee says.Why me???!!!!

Anyways,after both Miss Lee and i had finished eating,we went back upstairs to buy our stuff.Thank goodness i managed to control myself,to a certain extent.

Oh,wait.I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to comment on this.Y'know Mr Teo drives a small red car right?Well,Miss Lee drives her mother's Volkswagen Passat.And me and Abigil were comparing their driving skills.Very obviously,Miss Lee won.It took Mr Teo two tries to manouver his tiny car into the parking lot while it simply took Miss Lee one.That proves alot.Anyways,Adieu till the next time!

It's been so long since i last sat down to blog..

Hello there people!I guess life's finally caught up with me.Busy,busy busy...Projects falling into me lap faster than you can say 'Orinocco flow'.

Strangely enough, I've been sober for quite a while now.I'm suffering from fatigue due to an insufficient amount of rest on my part on Sunday.There was an auction going on in the vicinity of my house and the dear emcee was hollering at the top of his voice,at night,mind you,in hokkien,the prices of the items they were selling.The whole thing was completely and utterly frustrating and tiring.The toture finally ended 'round 11pm,but i didn't get to sleep till 1am.Then i clawed my way out of bed at 4.30 am to study my 成语s.
I got to school,had one coffee in the morning,and then another one during recess to keep me alive.After school,my mother joined me agus Vanessa agus Valerie agus their mother for the "Rub Your Stress away" workshop.It was fun.However,i could feel the caffeine wearing thin already.Then, my mother dragged me and my dad after dinner to see the lights that we were going to get for the new house.By the way,my new neighbour's gonna be my P1 math teacher, Mrs Tan WK.Sigh.I guess i'll have to watch my behaviour from now onwards.No singing at the top of my voice,yadayada. Today was rather enjoyable.Merissa Ang and Shirley were acting perverse and went around smacking people's sensitive bottoms.I was not spared.As usual,i used my stare-down technique and it worked.My stomach seems to have developed some gastric problems.I keep having sharp,piercing pains.And no,it's not that time of the month. ;D I've developed a love for vampires lately,and i really don't know why...They seem so appealing,don't you think? Anyways,Singapore is a really HOMOPHOBIC country.Wish people here were more liberal.
G'night

Happy Birthday,Enya!

Hiya to all of you!!!For your Info,today's a very special day for a particular lady in Ireland.

It's Enya's 45th birthday!

Chances that she would be reading this would be almost zero,but anyways here's my B'dae message to her:

Thank you,for giving me such solace in such traumatic times.

Thank you,for giving the world your gifts.

Thank you,for the charity you have done.

Thank you,for the grace and beauty you have brought to the world.

Thank you,for your unspoken expressions within your music.

Your voice has often brought tears to my eyes,the soaring,haunting ballads that you so often sing.You seem to have a magical piece for every mood,and it is simply magical to let your music wash over one's tired and weary soul,soothing me,entrancing me.

Happy Birthday

May your music last forever

You are,as they would say,

A True Angel Of Music.

And there you have it!I know it almost seems like she's passed away,but let's not go there,shall we?

Andrew Lloyd Webber DVD thingamajig.

Heyya!!I just watched the POTO segment,and when the lady hit those famous high notes,Fe Xiang just stared at her as though he couldn't believe she was singing them.The look on his face....just priceless!!!!Cheers!Just a short post...To let you know i'm still very much alive and kicking.Oh yeah.There's this lady in the video that looks like Drew Barrymore,but an excellent singer.I think she's quite tall too.This bitchy looking singer is like a midget next to her.haha.One setback though.She let down her hair,which makes her look like a lion.She could replace Emmy Rossum though..Except some people might not think she's pretty enough,but that's an aquired taste,IMHO.This lady does look a little goth like because of the makeup and all,but i know she can dance rather well.I saw it with my own eyes.And she's less painful to listen to than Sarah Brightman.Plus she pronounces and her range is rather wide.YAY!!She's my fav chorus member other than that short-haired blonde...
Anyways,bonjour and i'll see you guys some time later this week.

OH MY GOD!!!!! IS ENYA ENGAGED???!!!!

Hey y'all.

I JUST FOUD THIS DAMN PICTURE OF ENYA WITH A DAMN RING ON HER ENGAGEMENT FINGER!!!!!HOW COOL IS THAT??PERHAPS SHE'S GOING TO GET MARRIED....OOOOH!!!

Not meaning to sound lesbian-ish or anything,but I'll feel a little odd if she does marry...I don't know why...Perhaps it's because of that kind of image of her that i have planted in my mind....Anyways,it's getting late now and it's off to bed.

A little something I call The Celtic Rage.

Good evening people!

Have any of you ever experienced that fierce passion within you before?The aggressiveness that drives you to go on a warpath,led by sheer bloodlust?It's easy to supress,but sometime in the near future,i do believe that i would want to don Ancient Celtic armour and go into battle.It would obviously be impossible,so the next best thing i can do is listen to Celtic music to drum up this emoti0n.Clannad would do well...Hmmm...Time to go CD hunting.

I coined it "The Celtic Rage"as when i felt this unfeeling rage,the Celts immediately popped into my mind.They're so brutally crude,yet elegant in their own way.It's the way that they cultivate and inherit their amazing culture that amazes me.Till today,Irish and Scottish folk ballads and cultures have been one of the most unique.There's this distinctive primal beat about the Irish songs that awakes this certain craving for destruction within me.It makes me feel free,makes me feel as if all worldly troubles are gone.It makes me feel like i'm ME.It makes me feel liberated,emancipated,makes me feel as though i've just let out the most throaty call i can ever produce.

I close my eyes,and visualise myself dressed in crude leather,iron,steel and fur.My hair hangs matted around my face.In my right hand I am hefting a large hatchet.In my left a oval shield decorated with the emblem of a rearing horse is held aloft.I am sitting astride an ebony steed fitted with a simple,light saddle made of worn leather.Iron gauntlets encase my arms and studded rawhide gloves fit snugly around my knuckles.Slung around my back is a longbow constructed simply from the middle ring of an Ash tree.A quiver of arrows is slung across it,forming an X.At my waist hangs a curved,light sword.A scythe-like sword,if you like.Another item hanging there is a jet-black horn.As expected,tough leather boots protect my feet and a flowing,black silky torrent that is a cloak shrouds me in darkness.

My imaginary clan leader,a 1.8m tall dark haired muscular male,is clad in similar garb.He speaks in an ancient tongue i cannot fathom,and motions for all of us to follow.Wordlessly twenty riders ride tall and proud,a battle cry forming on their lips.We canter to a stop in a forest clearing.Facing us is another rival clan,their emblem being that of a magnificent Eagle in flight.The two leaders ride up to each other.The representative of the other clan is a female,but she looks no less than capable of killing than anyone of the males present.She is a blond and her steed is snow white.Fire burns fiercely in her eyes and no one dares oppose her wisdom.For a fleeting instant,we lock eyes.I calmly meet her gaze,the only other female in the whole clearing.Briefly inclining her head in acknowledgement,she shouts in another unknown dialect and soon her clan follows.It is time for battle.

I shall not let my warped imagination twist your reality any further.Inspired by this new rage,i have resolved to write a book on this.Not that you care though.

Good night.

March Hols

Hey ho y'all!I felt that i should take a break from researching on people and just relax for a bit,and so off i went to borrow The Princess Diaries one and two.I know it doesn't seem my type of movie but now i'm just so stuck on Julie Andrews!!!(You,of course,can read about dear Julie in my Artistic Rambles blog when i post today or tomorrow :) )Anyways,I'd like to give my dear Adeline a great big shoutout thanking her for all she's done for me..I probably wouldn't have survived P6 if not for her.We just met up for dinner the other day...
Ooooh!!I'm so darn excited!!Julie Andrews seems to be really interesting,long career and all...Plus she's just got this royal,regal air about her...::respectable crush::Did i mention she ages with such grace??!!
Just unearthed some treasures today.Found some of the rarest Enya videos at youtube.com!!I am so darn excited!!!And my new phone is due to arrive any day..Oh!And my dad just bought me 2 CDs,which is realy really rare...YAY!!I am so darn happy!!!::passes out due to hyperventilating::
OMG!!!I am watching a recorded live performance by Enya and she is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo darn nervous!!!Her voice is shaking and all...::disappointed and sad,not to mention pity::She looks ill and as if she is going to cry.I think she really did after the darn performance...ooooh!!Disappointed face there...
P.S.if you were curious enough to wonder about the ::emotion:: things,they're taken from Unity-The official Enya forum.I used them here to show my emotions.DUH!!

Blogging,finally??!!

Hey y'all!!!Sorry for the long waits between posts.School's been really hectic.Anyways,i found something that made me freak out...Yeah.Won't tell you what it is though...Ok...Gotta go...Sorry this post is short.It's 11 already!!

CNY

Hey y'all!!Happy chinese new year!!right now i'm blogging with my cousin in the room,and she's trying to fall asleep.And the considerate me is playing beautiful Enya for her..I don't know if it's working...Let's wait and see...I've gone crazy..My uncle wants my cousin to learn how to play a chinese instrument.And when i say to let her learn how to play the piano,he says what for.
I think learning a chinese instrument isn't practical.Besides,Piano is one of the easiest ways of learning musical notes..(Enya's music is all composed on the piano :D)

Secondary school life.

Hi...Forgive me if i'm sounding down and depressed,cos i am.My dad's down with serious food poisoning,I have tons of homework,I have been ORDERED to pin my fringe up,and lastly,my mother's coming back tomorrow.Ok.Maybe that's not such a bad thing.But i feel so much more...un-stressed without her.

On a brighter note,i've just thought of a new way of...forget it.My idea is just going to be dismissed by you people.*sighs despondently*I am thinking of destroying my first book,.Should I?Tag with your opinions...I am such a failure.My life just sucks like crazy.Still,here are some of my lifelong dreams.

Get to meet Enya,Elaine Paige,etc,before either party dies.
Go to Ireland and visit Leo's tavern.(Enya's family pub.Maybe someone wants to come with me?)
Tour the whole of Europe.
Watch all of ALW's musicals.
Watch Les Miserables andMiss Saigon,at least.
Learn at least 3 more languages.(Italian,Spanish and French preferred)
Do Theatre studies in VJC.
Publish at least one good book.
Maybe become a writer.
Do well in studies.
Live my life in solitude until i find someone special and good enough for me.(look who's talking)
Write a sensible will.
Grow taller.
Write better.(Don't you dare say i'm a good writer.Let's just wait and see if my essay gets picked for The commonwealth essay.I'm guessing not.)

There are many more insignificant ones.I'll just keep it to these few and say goodnight for today.
Until next time,remember to be thankful for life.

The Phantom Returns..Again

Yay!!I'm Stuck on The Phantom Of The Opera again!!!Gerard Butler is such a god singer..As is Emmy Rossum.And she's so young!!!
Ok ok..enough about those two.I want to tell you about my life.My teachers are really really really nice..Life in 1CO is rather...enjoyable.Isolation is setting in though..As is the stress..Ok.No time to tell you more now.

GO AND TAG MY ARTISTIC RAMBLES BLOG.I BEG YOU..
