know it all or nothing episode 1: fren.em.ies

know it all or nothing episode 1: fren.em.ies

teaching my readers a new word called:

fren.em.ies

definition:

Frenemy can refer to either an enemy disguised as a friend or to a partner that is simultaneously a competitor.

The latter can describe relationships involving:
> People
> Politics and International Relationships
> Commercial Relationships between Companies.

These type of relationships grow more common in times of great change and make for uneasy relations.

In personal relationships, the use of the term 'frenemy' has become increasingly used to describe two (or more) people who are apparently friends but are actually enemies. Such relationships may occur due to the desire (of either) to keep a close eye on the actions of their close rival (i.e. keep your friend close, keep your enemies even closer).

Alternatively, two people who are apparently enemies may actually be friends in private, with the apparently hostile relationship portrayed in order to deceive or for other forms of gain. Such an arrangement may even be used to cover up a secret relationship between the two parties.

so dear readers, friends? enemies? or frenemies?

one of my happiest days in my life!

27th nov 07, tuesday


today's one of the happiest days in my life. it's like a dream come true to me and i've never dream of it coming true. one the choreographer of the show called me and would like me to be involved in 6 shows! yes, 6! i nearly freaked out and like what? 6? i would prolly really collapse and die this time round.

well, giving it a second thought, a opportunity that never comes easy, i decided to give it a try. and also, a reporter of The Straits Time wanted to have a phone interview with me. WOW! exaggerating! but it's true. i've never been interviewed before (excluding job interview, lol), the feeling is so great.

ok, i'm buying iPOD nano 2nd generation soon. today rocks! lol.

dance nearly killed me today!

26th nov 07, monday


dance training today was exhausting! i could nearly just collapse and die. this is when reality strikes me. my passion and interest for dance really tells me i wanna go into dance as an profession or maybe as an career in the future.

the incident today made a reality check for me. training with professional art directors and also professional choreographers of course to expect a higher demand than usual. this is it, a grand finale at the esplanade; the centre of the arts, nothing should go wrong.

i was pushing myself beyond my limits, practice and practice. then, i found myself gasping for more breathe. yes, i'm breathless. my history of asthma is back. the professionals asked if i'm alright, i even said yes. it's pretty obvious i'm not as my face is already turning pale. i couldn't even walked straight and properly. i just laid down there resting, at the same time, gasping for more air.

then i knew, i cant venture into dance which i mean full time dancing. perhaps, it's not my calling. i was feeling better after much resting and i continued to do my routine and rehearsals. today was very fruitful and fun. it's a great pleasure working with so many professionals, which i think it's not something you can get easily.

afterall, i still like dancing. dancing is life. something, i will never give up. (:

our last dance training

24th nov 07, saturday


today's the last dance training we're having before our grand finale at the esplanade. training was cool as we get to rehearse the whole routine. quite afraid that our performance is going to be screwed up that day as today is already the last training and some crew members which also includes me tends to forget some of the steps.

if that day i really do screwed up, i would just freestyle already. freestyle is way so easy for me. there's reporters from the chinese newspaper and and some directors of the performance came to view the training. my friend got interviewed.

after the training, the director came up to me and offered to give me an extra choreograph and invited me over for a personal dance training. training with professional choreographers. of course i would accept. meeting them in monday at paragon.

went to far east to shop with one of my crew member. bought stuffs for the performance itself. trained home after that.

Get to know yourself better

took a personality test from some web and this is the result. i can say its 98% fucking accurate.

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

What's on your mind?

Here is the analysis:

You think money and love are equally important. You have an interest in many things in life, and work hard to ensure that you maintain a healthy balance between work, play and love. However, you tend to be unable to decide on what you really want to do with your life. You wouldn't dream of leaving your loved one for one or two million dollars, but you would have to reconsider if the offer rose to 100 million dollars.

What is your most favorite pet?

DOG

The most favorite pet of all time is definitely the dog. Having a pet dog suggests that you are a friendly person who likes talking to people. You are outspoken and don't have any secrets or bias opinions. People like to be around you because you are sincere and loving. You don't like to say anything to hurt other people's feelings.

How well do you get along with others?

Here is the analysis:

You can make friends with anyone and are always interested in what people have to say, but you can also spend time alone quite happily and without getting bored. You don't overreact to things around you, and people consider you to be a bit of a cool cucumber.

TRAFFIC @ PLUSH

22nd nov 07, thursday



its clubbing once again and meeting with hanlin, joseph and his friends, joanne, valerie and jordan in serangoon mrt station. everyone has their own group of cliques while the two extras were me and hanlin~ formed a group within we two. took train to clarke quay and walked over to plush. boring at first as no one dares to start the dance floor.

one by one slowly, people came took their thing and showed it in the dance floor. crowd came and underages area were infested with underages kids. while legal ages area is clear and spacious. partied real hard and shake our thing on the dance floor. it's all about enjoying and unleashing of energies.

mood was affected by some morons and pea-brained pjc students. they pissed me off over the phone. gutless and no balls! they knew nothing but only know how to talk. bunch of fuckers idiots.

overall party was great and awesome. very happening and woooo! went mac to have supper and cabbed home.

PSL Farewell Party 07

20th nov 07, tuesday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

XIAOQIAN! :D

it is PSL farewell party today and it starts at 6pm. the theme for this year's party is "Celebrity". went to salon to dye my hair first. then met up with karen and made our way to peicai secondary. awkwardness fills up heart when we first stepped into the seminar room where they held their party.

but slowly, we were greeted with smiles of the psl, both juniors and seniors. lots of memories of peicai secondary just starts to recall automatically. days of when we are still secondary school students in this school.

knowing that the school's tearing down in this thursday, its kinda saddening as it contains many memories inside the building. i'm sure i will miss peicai and also looking forward towards the new building.

really had a great time enjoying ourselves at the party. took photos. went home after party. (:

pepper returned home

19th nov 07, monday


today's the day when my whole family came back from overseas. today's also the day pepper return home. my days with pepper is always full of joy. we accompanied each other these five days, so we never felt lonely.

she followed me around wherever i went and she slept right beside me when its time to sleep. we played together like crazy in my room. i never once felt lonely during these five days because i have her accompany.

saddness and joy fills my heart when she left. didn't thought that such strong bonds are created in just within this five days. truly enough, i starts missing her.


tickets sales for 22nd party not very good. shall try to push for sales.

heard peicai's demolishing this thursday. there will be a psl farewell party tmr, 20th nov. theme for party is "celebrity". might be going down as a last memorial of peicai old building with the graduated seniors.

my days with pepper 2

16th nov 07, friday



went for prata with 2Ds again. brought a special guest with me, pepper, the dog. everyone seems happy to see her. playing with her, keep her company, wanting to walk the dog. but baoman sat a corner, staring at the dog cautiously, not wanting the dog to come near her.


after prata, went bistro and then to macdonald. cabbed home at 4am.



17th nov 07, saturday



sleeping with pepper these days is so nice. she would just sleep beside you soundly, like a little baby. woke up early to get prepare for dance training. cabbed to town.

got our costume today. its 2 more weeks to go before the actual performance. feeling very excited about it. did recording today for our music. went to recording studio and did some recordings. was fun.

i'm gonna perform at this esplanade theatre studio. kinda cool looking place.


tickets are available for sale in all sistic outlets. tickets can be purchased online too. here's the following link, http://www.sistic.com.sg/cms/events/index.html?content=1263.

after training, went heeren, 77th street, to buy a studded belt. went to macdonald to buy lunch. cabbed home. miss pepper so much. when i reached home, it welcomed me will such excited mood, wagging its tail non-stop. honestly, i feel having a dog by my side is always better than having a human by my side.

went to bath and was tired. slept on the bed and pepper just jumped up onto the bed and laid down beside me to sleep. woke up by hanlin's call and asked to go kovan for dinner. didn't want to leave pepper alone at home, so i rejected. had a simple bread with ham for dinner.

nice day today. (:

a night of catching up with wendy

12th nov 07, monday


went out in the evening with joanne to bugis. walked around parco and street. bought white skinny jeans. went arcade to play and played 1 hour of lan gaming. cabbed back to serangoon.

having supper in serangoon central mcdonald. met wendy and xiao chyn there. had supper together. had a great fun time laughing all the while. chatted with wendy for a long time, its been long we've seen each other, so lotsa catching up to be done.

cabbed and sent her home. let's meet up soon again.

happy birthday gerald!

10th nov 07, saturday


celebrating gerald's birthday in amk today. went Sticky Rice to have dinner with hanlin, gerald, teeyue, baoman and grace. don't ever eat fried rice in Sticky Rice in amk, the food sucks. after dinner, had the cake blown.

walked around amk and accompanied birthday boy to arcade; his favourite place. he just played whatever he want and we just stand there and stared.

baoman insisted us to take neoprints. we hadn't took any neoprints after since graduated from secondary school. so, after much persuasion from her, all agreeded to take one. kinda cute and also reminded by the old times in secondary school when we would save money and take neoprints together.

cabbed to a place near bishan park to do prawning. wasted $30 and 3 hours with nothing caught, not even a single prawn. we just stood down there and prayed for at least a prawn. nothing happens, no prawn.

cabbed home afterwards. Happy Birthday 18th Gerald!

a trip with hanlin and joanne

9th nov 07, friday

went out with hanlin and joanne to dhoby ghaut and cathay area to collect my phone from the service center. after collecting, bused to sim lim square to sell my nokia n73 for instant cash. headed off to TCC in parco bugis for drink.

saw luo zhi xiang in bugis doing his publicity for his upcoming concert in singapore. met karen and her friend in bugis too. after much slacking in TCC, walked around bugis, talking about this year's prom.

after our window shopping, bused 133 and then changed to 147 to prata. joanne followed us. okay, i tagged her along with us as well. she seems to click very well with 2d mates as they shared "common interest".

walked over to bistro and then mac. drank a full big bottle of Carlsberg. cabbed home at 4am.

a day with joanne

7th nov 07, wednesday


went out with joanne today to pay motorola service center a visit. i went to collect my phone and when i was checking it, i realised they didn't get the problem fixed at all. so i was asked to come back another day. what a waste of time.

went dhoby ghaut to have dinner and walked to town. walking aimlessly around town as we didn't have anywhere in mind to go. went to a hotel opposite far east plaza and slacked at the lobby.

next, walked over to some ulu pub area in town area near hilton hotel. there's so many transsexuals there! omfg. total disgusted. i and joanne quickly got out of the place as we seems to be the attraction there and kept receiving stares from the people. women go around boot licking and flirting with those caucasian men. sick.

went to hard rock cafe and slacked. live bands playing there and its super cool. live bands are cool. drank a full jug of carlsberg and we went total highness. misbehaving ourselves on the street acting in a "barbaric" way. lol.

cabbed home after that. experiencing major headache.

life sucks big time

5th nov 07, monday


is it okay to have dreams and goals? is it okay for us to plan so much ahead for our future? is it do-able and can be accomplished? or just plain daydreaming? hopes and dreams no longer exist in my dictionary. i dun even dare to think about future. all i'm doing now is feeling helpless about the present.

whatever happens i shall not talk about it here. life sucks. it really do.

went out in the evening to meet alwyn and baoman. cabbed to j8 to have dinner at subway. we had a long time deciding what to eat and finally came to a decision. met gerald there with his friend, and the sick kid just pangseh his friend and followed us. we so gonna swear we are not going out with sick kid one on one, in case same things happen.

after dinner, shopped around the mall. bought 2 ear studs and @ cash worth 20k. cabbed home afterwards.

dance training resumed

3rd nov 07, saturday


cabbed to town for my dance training today. missed last week's lesson. today's training was fun. had alot of fun doing those routine. relations with dance mates are improving. 2 more weeks of training to go before the actual performance in esplanade.

Audition Japan is way too cool!

1st nov 07, thursday


october had just ended and welcome november! october had been a quite a not so good month for me. may november be full of surprises and great things coming and most importantly, a turning point for myself.

yesterday 31st october was a very productive period in my calendar of october. i was spamming in audition, promoting the 22nd underage party via gaming. ain't that smart or what? haha, just joking. well, it was pretty much effective as there are few interested parties wanted to do. so just gave them my contacts so they could contact me for the tickets.

and also made few friends out there. was playing with my dar and we got to made 2 new friends. 1 is total pure japanese guy aged 19 years living in s'pore while another is a singaporean lady which is a great japanese fanatic aged 22? it was total coolness as we four had a great time playing and also chatting, communicating in 100% singapore singlish and japanese. lol~

told them about the party in 22nov, so hoping they could turn up. and before that, was playing audition and there was this song hack that others have made, creating numerous rooms with the old songs of audition that is playable to all clubbers! (*clubbers used to identify as players in game.) so for the first time for so long, i find audition interesting and seems audition became more "alive" and happening when old songs are playing.

without any hesitation, told hanlin about it and he rushed home from school just to play audition. old songs do not last long as it is a hack and GMs are coming to audition and may result in stoppage of the songs. captured a screenshot of me and hanlin and others playing S.O.S song by SHINE. we missed those old songs. Audition, due to some reasons removed all songs and only put in their own audition songs which is so boring and getting sick of it.

that's about it for yesterday. Audition is down for server maintenance today. that makes my day even more boring. i've nothing to do. went to www.auditionsea.com and checked and it says:


Dear Clubbers, Please note that there will be a server maintenance on the 1st of November 2007 from 1300hrs (+8 GMT) to 1600hrs (+8 GMT). Game Service will not be available during this period of time. Please log out safely before it to prevent any loss of items. -AuditionSEA Administrator


awww, gonna find something else to do to keep myself occupied..
