Britney Spears' Birthday Bash On Television

Pop princess Britney Spears will celebrate her 27th birthday in style, blowing out candles on live television later this year.

The Sagittarius will usher in the special occasion by singing at Bryant Park in New York City on December 2. Britney's performance will be televised live on the US breakfast show, Good Morning America.

The singer's birthday bash has apparently sparked a feud amongst American TV networks because everyone wants a piece of her.

Okay, my no holds barred confession about me wanting to have a bf did conjure up different reactions from different people. But I remember the encouraging ones - that I'm just being normal (Sophia), that it's great that I know exactly what I want in life (Gajaen) and that my courage is admired for being so honest about it (Benedict). =) Of course, I got some unwanted attention here and there but may I say I realized that the older I get, the bolder I am! I'm just not afraid of anything anymore. Sometimes it's not good, because I get too liberal with the things I say (read: the recent entry that I took down), but I think most of the time, it's all good because I healthily voice out how I feel here and not keep things held up inside which can be really unhealthy. I just have to make sure that I offend no one at it. ;)




Less than 24 hrs to being officially 21! Looking forward to adult life!



Btw, The Rasmus' latest album, Black Roses, totally rocks and this is the first single from it:




Living In A World Without You

It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with the poisoned kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you

You told me, my darling
Without me, you're nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies

Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at the sky that had never been blue
Ah, there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Ah, there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you

It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with the poisoned kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you

You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me

Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free
Ah, there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Ah, there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you


Bringing the house down at Youth'Em Freedom of Choice tmr! ;)

Some people just makes me wanna take down the earlier post but I shall not care. I'm still very happy even though I'm single but I know that I'll be even happier if I'm with the right person. That was basically what I was trying to say, just that it was stated in a very extreme and expressive way. So I don't care if you get any wrong ideas!

Met Val dear for dinner at Pasta Waraku. She gave me a treat! I was on cloud nine! Sooo happy! Haha.


Photobucket


The rest of the photos are on FB! It's almost a ritual to upload pics there, do a nice description, come up with a creative title and tag all the pple. FB has become a way of life. That is how powerful one social networking website can be.

Yours truly,
The No. 1 FB fan (hur hur)

I ditched the heels and wore sneakers out today. Feels damn shiok! =)

23 October 2008

Okay, this post is half inspired by Janet's 21st Oct blog entry. The other half is cos I got no one to go out with me now! Was supposed to meet Evan to go shop for our birthday suits tgt but she's meeting her friends instead. And Zoe already made plans so I can't redeem my fellowship voucher again. So I end up having no one to shop with! IF ONLY I HAD A BF!!!

My 21st birthday is just 8 days away! *nervous* Haha. What I really, really and may I emphasize REALLY need now are:

1. Ipod Video - Expensive? I know. But I don't care if 20 people share to get me one. At least give me Apple vouchers or something! Haha.

2. Canon Ixus digital camera - I'm going to US for a month and I really need a good camera! 8 megapixels and above pls! Expensive again? I know. 30 people can share and I won't care. LOL.

3. Money $$$ - Again, I'm going to America. If you dunno what to get me, just give me money and I'll be more than happy to receive it. =)


Alternatively, you may give me the following:
  • Shopping Vouchers - Capitaland, Marina Square, Guess, Mango, Zara, etc. Almost anything goes.
  • Earrings - Nice-looking ones I hope? My fave are the hook-on ones. =)
  • Books - Inspire me
  • Clothes - Hmmm, I've always wanted a vest. But I don't want to end up receiving 5? Haha.

Please don't get me the following! :
  • Chocolates - I mean I love them but nah uh, I rather you give me money or vouchers than choc. =)
  • Soft Toys - They are cute but again, I rather receive money or vouchers than these cuddly figures.
  • Decorative Items - No no no....

Anyway, I like bling bling stuff. ;) Remember to come dressed in Black, Pink or ideally Black and Pink yeah? See you sooon! We're gonna have a heaven of party tgt! ;) I'm gonna be such a happy happy 21-year-old if I receive a lots of money,a pink Ipod and a pink Canon Digicam! *BIG SMILE* =D
I chanced upon this song on Youtube! Did you know that letting go is an art? I wonder how many people in this world can truly master it. . .



Art of Letting Go - Mikaila

Put away the pictures, put away the memories
I put over and over through my tears
I've held them 'till I'm blind, they kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believe in a love forevermore
How do you leave it in a drawer?

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go

Try to say it's over, say the word goodbye
But each time it catches in my throat
You're still here in me and I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friends forevermore
Wish I could open up that door

Now here it comes the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone
Guess I'm just learning, learning the art of letting go

Watching us fade, what can I do
But try to make it through the pain
Of one more day without you

Where do I start to live my life alone
I guess I'm learning, only learning
Learning the art of letting go

I received a fantastic email from Phil Pringle today that completely wowed me over (my fave lines in bold!) :


Past, Present and Future

'Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated' bullets' - George S.Patton Jr.


We all need to deal with three realms.

The past, the present and the future.

We can't escape the past by trying to live in the future.

We need to deal with the past first. Then the present, then the future.

Unresolved offences, unconfessed sins, unpaid bills, unsaid apologies, unwritten letters will torpedo both our present and future.

Then we need to secure our present - create patterns and systems to live by, organise work and play - establish priorities and commitments.

Our foundation is solid.

Now we can dream, pray, prepare, plan and strategize for the future.


Very well said indeed. Pst Phil is damn cool. =)


The final Youth' Em is just 11 days away and I'm really looking forward to it because I'm given the privilege to host the event, share my testimony and perform our PCDID (read: the much talked about Pussy Cat Dolls inspired dancing =D)! One day after is my 21st birthday and the opportunities given feel like a present from Daddy becos I've always asked to be used by Him and now, I'm receiving what I asked for. =) I am so thankful for and humbled by that . . . Many ideas went through my mind just now on what to share. I'm also starting to think of the photos and specific words that I want to use. It is very enjoyable to be able to craft my very own testimony. =) Come 26th October, my life shall never be the same again.

As some of you guys know, I started this telemarketing job last week at an independent mortgage advisory company. Even though the pay might not be as high as the fees I charge for tuition, I learnt a lot about mortgage, loans and interest rates and it's been really educating so far. I also made 2 new friends, Slyvia and Esther, whom are my fellow telemarketing colleagues. I invited them for Youth'Em just now and they said they'll be coming! Yay! =)

After work, I walked past Central Mall and saw that Club Marc is having the 'Really Huge Sale' (what a cute name for a sale!). I went in and saw that all the shoes are on sale for $19.90! I bought a pair of black heels which was originally priced at $79.90! Sooo happy. =D All the cheapo shoes that I bought in the past that had only cost between $10 - $25 each have all disappointingly spoilt after I wore them for a short period of time. Let's see how long this originally $80 pair of heels will last me! This is officially my first experiment on the durability of more expensive shoes! ;)

My life may not be perfect, but it indeed is very good and I am thankful for the all blessings and joy that I have. I'm glad my 15 October 2008 ended well! 12 more days to my 21st birthday! OH MY GOSH! =)

13 October 2008

I caught Stardust on dvd and the following parts pulled at my heartstrings. To put it simply, Yvaine is a fallen star that Tristan finds.





Yvaine
: Are you tempted?
Tristan: Tempted, by what?
Yvaine: Immortality. Let's say it wasn't my heart. Not me. Just a star you didn't know.
Tristan: You seriously think I could kill anybody. Even if I could, I mean, everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.


Yvaine
: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.


Narrator: They ruled for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who possesses the heart of a star, and Yvaine gave hers to Tristan completely. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time to light the Babylon Candle.
[there is a flash of light from inside the royal quarters, the camera then pans up to the sky where two brighter stars have appeared]
Narrator: and they still live happily ever after. (say awwww....) =)

I loved the ending of course! I want my happily ever after too. I'm such a hopeless romantic . . .



Better In Time - Leona Lewis


It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going
Coming
Thought I heard a knock?
Who's there?
No one.
Thinking that, I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice, you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning, to love again
All I know is I'ma be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy?
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming, don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings, but that's the past
I believe it
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice, boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'ma be okay

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

11 October 2008

This morning I woke up a little weary, not feeling like wanting to do anything. I was also a little disappointed from what happened. But I prayed and lifted my burdens to God. Today, I wondered how someone you love so much can hurt you so badly... But you know, it's precisely the person whom you love the most that has the potential to hurt you in the deepest way. So, be very careful who you give your heart to. :)

Sat is my fave day of the week cos I get to meet my lovely friends and have so much fun tgt and most importantly, Sat is when I get to go to church and meet with God. When I feel down, I get to church and I feel less burdened and set free. I experience His love and presence that is all so real and tangible. And one of the best things is that I receive the knowledge and wisdom to live my life better.

Above every heartache here

My God reigns
His love will never fail me
My God reigns
He's ruling over all

In all my life
In every situation, I know
My God is greater,
My God is over all

If there is anything that I've learnt in my life, it is that people may fail and disappoint me but God will never. Giving my heart to Him and being loved by Him is the best thing in my life ever. =)

I can really fully appreciate Katy Perry's Hot N Cold:

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know

And you over think
Always speak
Crypticly

I should know
That you're no good for me

(CHORUS)
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now you're plain boring

I should know that
You're not gonna change

(CHORUS)

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes



Kudos to the song writer! I went to Youtube the music video and it's really quite funny and cute. Check it out! LOL.


09 October 2008

Hahaha, I'm really glad I can actually laugh about it now. God has such a sense of humour I tell you. =D More than half the battle is won. Like 80% is won. =)

I'm proud of you Wendy! =) Wendy is a happy, happy girl! =)

I used Photobucket for the first time today!

Thank you Daddy, because your timing is always right and I realized that you are so very gracious towards me. Little did I know that you were protecting me all this while. I'm touched. :) You top it all. You are amazing!! =)

Better In Time

I cried again last night and this time it wasn't PMS-induced but genuine sadness that swept over me. I thought I had successfully overcame but when only a few words triggered such a flood of emotions from me, I realized I have not fully done so. Well, at least half the battle has already been won and the other half should be fairly easy now.

Jia you Wendy! Sadness has a refining influence and the pain serves to remind you never to make the same mistakes again! 19 more days and you'll be 21 already, smile! You're gonna have a great and bright future ahead! =)

Vann, thanks for standing by me. You're a great friend to have. And you did a great job with the photo, loves! =)
