A little bit of hope.

Hey all!

It's finally here. Inauguration Day!!! So we can all say adios to Bush and helloooo Obama! *applause*.

I don't know about you guys but i'm finding this really exciting. I mean, to think that not too long ago, nobody could've imagined the United States having a black president. Y'all have read To Kill A Mockingbird right? Well, I think today would've definately been a slap on the face for Mrs Dubose. Hahaah!

Anyway, I feel very lucky that i'm alive to see this happen and that i'm able to actually watch history being made. Obama's presidency truly marks a milestone once unthinkable in a nation where segregation was practiced throughout many Southern states just decades ago.

So let us all savor History today. For one day at least, I think, relief will replace fear, and gloom will be swept aside by a tide of hope. Today, one of the worst and most unpopular presidents in US history is departing and eight years from now (or four if everything goes dreadfully wrong) historians will be debating the Obama legacy. And hey! Fifty or so years from now, we can tell our grandchildren about the day Barack Obama came along and to gave us all a glimpse of hope.

You know, I really think that Obama is the first politician that I've actually grown to like. So kudos to the man and I am looking forward to what he has in store for all of us. I'd love to see what he does about global warming/climate change. And I do hope that he would be more inclined to attack problems with diplomacy rather than with military power. If not, I'm sure we can count on some lovely Iraqi journalist to hit him with a pair shoes. ;)



"It's not just enough to change the players. We've gotta change the game." -Barack Obama

"This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands."
-Barack Obama

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
-Barack Obama

New Love

Okay, i've finally found a new The One... JARED LETO!!!

Yeah aight. You can all close your mouths now. Lol! How this happened you ask? Well, i was watching Requiem for a Dream the other day which, by the way, is a brilliant flick. Those of you rotting of boredom, go watch it (youtube has it). If you wanna know what's it about, well, in Jared's words, it's a movie about "humanity's age-old obsession with escapism." Not your typical Hollywood movie so if your craving something other than beautiful people, wearing beautiful clothes and shagging other beautiful people, this is the movie for you. Nothing beautiful about it other than the concept. And Jared of course.

Anyways, after about an hour and a half of Jared Leto i totally fell in love with the guy. Number one, he was amazing in the movie. Number two, he is so fucking gorgeous (even as a druggie!). As a result, i spent like, more than 2 hours on both Thursday and Friday watching random videos of him. And now i'm even more in love. Heh. I know, it's sad. I don't have a life. Well, i found loads of good pictures of him and since i don't have a life, i'm posting them. For no reason really. Just 'cos i'm bored. And hey, i know he's like 20 years older than i am but come on, how many of your dads looked this sexy at 36 hmm?
















HAHAAAH!!!

And my ultimate favorite...


It's called the come-fuck-me look.

Prom Night

Hello world!

Suprise surprise! I'm still alive bitches. As y'all would've probably realized by know, I've been too lazy to blog for the past couple of months but since y'all been bugging me for prom pics, here they are (didn't take that many though).















Add Image




























Our very own Paris & Nicole ;)






Sha and her 'date'


Me and Sha's date. hehehe!




Denise doing 'Superman'...


Then pretending nothing happened. Peace.


Yep. They love me. Muah!




Me and my daaarling desk buddy.




HX hiding from her favourite paparazzo (moi)


Kiss kiss!




In my opinion, the best dressed was... My favourite Minah of all time.


Spot Loy!

There were lots of hilarious moments during Prom and i managed to capture some. Yay me! First of all, there was a little dance-off between about 5-6 people who were blindfolded. And o.m.f.g. Trishna danced her ass off like there was no tomorrow. And it was awesome! Even the Dj got excited and joined her. She won of course.




Shake your pom pom

Then there was Miss TKGS. Syaheera represented 4/4 and "shook it like Shakira" for her talent segment. And hey, the girl ain't bad at all.





And our dearest Imesha represented 4/3 and WON!!! She sang You'll be in my heart by Phil Collins and the crowd really did go wild. You go girl!



Then, the Emcee picked a group of people to go on stage and sorta made them pretend to be a band. They had wigs on and everything. Fucking hilarious. And guess who the pretend drummer was?? HUIXIN!!!





Atiqah rocking the balloon guitar like a seasoned pro.

The best part was, even during all this excitement we still had the time to play Bridge... Dammit, we really are addicted.







Prom night was loads of fun. And you people made it a night to remember... i LOVE you guys!! *hugs*

Euro '08

Hey you! (yes you.)

Euro 2008 has been absolutely smashing! Well, i haven't actually watched a single match yet as my darling daddy absolutely refused to get me the channels claiming it would've disrupted my studies. (I still don't see the logic 'cos the matches are in the middle of the night. The time of night when nobody in the right mind really studies.) Anyway, time for the poor deprived souls like moi to rejoice 'cos both the semis and final will be shown on the Preview Channel (001). But i was just thinking, if by some way or another Russia and Turkey make the finals i don't think i'd want to sacrifice sleep to watch that. Not sure yet though. We'll see. But if Spain and Germany make the final i wouldn't know who to support. Though that'd definitely be an awesome game to catch. By the way, i like what Vic said about the German lads; "They get red carded in style." Haha! So, so true.

Speaking of Vickie, she has completely fallen in LOVE with Bastian Schweinsteiger. The girl totally ditched Novak, her (supposedly) The One for Schweini. Typical. And i have a hunch that Sharan's slowly falling out of love with Ronaldo *silently celebrates*. As for me, the crazy David Cook phase is over. Don't get me wrong though. Still lovin' him and everything but just not as crazy as i used to be. Torres is still in there somewhere. Hopefully that fire will be reignited after watching the Spain v Russia match. Oh! And Ben Barnes aka Prince Caspian is really really really cute and hot and nice and funny. But not crazy-in-love though. So right now there is no 'The One' for me.

Moving on,

I think it's pretty much going to be a horrible day tomorrow. A math's first period. (Ugh) We have E math as well. (Double Ugh) And of course, not forgetting 2hours of A math IR. (ARRRGH!)

Oh well. Gonna go figure out a way to kill myself before A math does. (Just kidding aight. Please don't call the suicide hotline or anything.)

David vs David

Just watched American Idol. My Cookie kinda disappointed me tonight. I was waiting for him to blow me away but he didn't which makes me a little sad. I really wanna blog about it but i can't seem to put what i'm feeling into words right now. So, i got this from TVFan. It basically sums up everything.


David VS David. The finale everyone predicted.

Things started off promising...DC filling out the robe nicely, getting into the part with some fairly convincing air boxing moves. Has anyone determined if Hotness has chest hair? I now need to know this. Immediately. I'm thinking yes. And wow, I completely LOVE the gray shirt jacket thing Cookie McHottie is wearing and my, he has lost quite a bit of weight the last few weeks. Of course whenever Ryan asks a general question Hotness is the one to answer. The Fetus' responses are limited to "uhh ...gosh ...dream ...gosh ..." Bad boxing analogies are thrust upon us from every side.


My cookie looking VERY sexy in that robe of his.

DC to sing U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." This starts out promising. I would have preferred if he did this without the "C'mon" and into the crowd thing. It was good though. Randy: We boys, right?! Hot, baby! Paula has found what she's looking for and is about to hump DC's leg. Simon: DC is tense and emotional, but came through.

Fetus(David A) is singing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me." Uh-oh, he's on tonight. (Please note that i'm not the one calling him fetus. The girl who wrote this is) I think Fetus does a good job, but suffers by comparison. Randy: "Best performance of the season (?) Flawless (?) Right time to peak!" Didn't he say that to Syesha the week she was voted off? Paula: Chills and heart pounding. Maybe if she was wearing clothes it would help. Simon: Fetus' best ever. Round one to the Fetus. Fetus is literally rendered speechless. I wonder if he'll be able to sing again.

Original song contest. Let me audibly groan. What purpose does this serve, really? Can't we just have Diane Warren write a friggin song? Or better yet, let's let the CONTESTANTs write their own songs. Then we'll see who the real artist is.

DC sang "This Song Blows" (That's not the real title of course. It was actually called 'Dream Big') and luckily he put his trademark slur on the lyrics so we couldn't really tell what dreck he was singing. I enjoyed the rockout on guitar and the big note at the end. Randy: song OK, DC singing face off. Paula: we are in awe and mesmerized (agreed). Simon: lightweight, not a winning moment. Ry asks DC "how you feelin' right now?" And he replies "I'm playing in front of 7000 people, I feel great."


Dave rocking out on his guitar. Just the way i like him :)

The Fetus sings "This Song Also Blows." (Again not the real title. It was called 'In This Moment') Randy: Something original. "Dude, you can sing the phonebook!" Paula: "You're on fire tonight." Simon: Fetus chose the better song. Round 2 to the Fetus.

Contestants choice. I'm totally stoked! I LOVE this song. I don't love the hair. It's now looking like Ryan's hair on steroids. But Hotness is giving us a CFM look, and a smile, so all is forgiven. Wow, DC is crying. Seems just overwhelmed with emotion. Is it the 7,000 screaming fans? Or is he worried that he hasn't done enough tonight to win? It's very touching though. I just love, love, love this guy. Once again I just want to give him a big hug. He's really, really trying hard not to lose it. Simon says what we all know: "I just want to say publically that you are one of the nicest most sincere contestants we've ever had." I KNEW all those smug comments were BS. And then of course he slams him...wrong song choice, blah, blah, blah. DC says, "This whole thing has been a progression, and I was looking at it as 'why do something I've already done?' " Amen brother.

Speaking of which...the Fetus (surprise!) rehashes "Imagine" yet again, and not nearly as well as the first time. Judges all loved it. Randy: "Best singer on Season 7 is right there!" Paula: Stunning. Simon: tonight we've witnessed one of the great finals...Fetus came out to win, and what we have witnessed is a knockout.

The sites have all sorts of theories, including that Simon was trying to motivate DC's complacent fan base to vote. This sounds kind of far-fetched though.

If there was a knockout tonight, it was the culmination of David Cook's season long dominance of the competition. He put his heart and soul into every performance and I can't thank him enough for the hours of enjoyment and excitement he's given me.

I'm sure right now David Cook thinks he lost American Idol. I hope tomorrow night he learns that his fans have come through for him and that being the nicest and most sincere contestant, as well as the most talented, brave and original, actually means something. In many ways, that would be a more fitting ending to this saga than if he had been the clear winner tonight.

Best of luck, David Cook. You're quite a man, and I for one thank you for everything. Oh yeah...and you're really hot :)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, i'm not exactly as optimistic as she is. But i sure hope she's right. (Now i'm presuming this person's a she looking at the way DC is being described) Plus, reading her article definitely made me feel much better. I kinda summarized it 'cos it was way too long. Though she is being a little too harsh on Archie here. I think he did great tonight. Better than I would've expected. But i'm still all for my Papa Bear. :)

Of course, it won't be the end of the world if David A wins it. David Cook or shall i say 'Hotness' would still be very successful and i am soooo getting his album. Heard a few songs off his first album, Analog Heart by the way. Pretty good. Sorta makes me wonder why on earth he hasn't been signed yet.


This is why i call him Papa Bear. Okay, y'all think i'm crazy now but i think he does look like a bear. This was from Mariah Carey week i think.

P.S.- Feeling much better now after reading that

Not-So-Sweet Sixteen

Aloha world!

Haven't been updating. As usual. O' level year is beginning to suck ass. Everyone around me is so stressed (Sha being the most... Heh!) and it's no fun at all.

Nothing much to blog about really. My 16th birthday wasn't all that. No cake, no candles (i haven't had candles in forever damnit!). I think Hannah was more excited about my birthday than i was actually. But i did get lotsa really sweet notes and stuff from my lovely classmates. Thank y'all so much! :) And Sha and Nadia brought me out for dinner after tuition. Bloody Ttk couldn't make it. You owe me BIG time for that man (you also owe me $12 bucks since January btw...) Many promised that i'd be receiving my presents after the mid-years. Most probably have forgotten by now though (still waiting patiently for my Blackburn away kit Yuthra *grins*).

Anyway, i was meaning to put this up for a while now after seeing it on Hannah(Roon)'s blog. Was wondering where she got it from then i realized it was from Rascal Flatt's 'Stand'... I absolutely love the lyrics.

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
You'll be alright

When push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
'Cos its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad
You get strong
Wipe your hands
Shake it off,
Then you stand

-Parveena

P.S.- The previous post was NOT me. It was Sha as y'all would've realized by now. And i DO NOT and NEVER WILL love Ronaldo. (:
