Just saw the ad for his album 凡谷的左耳 on TV. Mans! They are advertising his album.. only now? Because he's coming to Singapore, that's why? Hello, his album is out for.. two and a half months, since his birthday I think. That's an awful lot of time.
Hehh. The Sparrabethers are waging a war online. Against the producers, the writers [TnT], Disney. Much that I would love an alternate ending to POTC:AWE, it's pointless to change something that's done, savvy? Beh. The good ol' days. When we could still talk about something that seems so ridiculous now but made so much sense back then, freely. [Remember RumRunner's Island? Remember Curiosity? Remember all the Compass scenes? Remember 'Persuad Me'?] Nowadays, mods are wiping out Sparrabethers not unlike the East Trading Company on piracy. Mehhs. It's easy to lose faith now, aye? True to the spirit of Jack Sparrow, I would rather stick with the ship even if it's swallowed by the Kraken and goes straight to Davy Jones' Locker. Now all I need is some waffles and rum. [That doesn't make me hate Will any less though, I'm still as anti-Will as ever.]
MayDay is coming to town! On Thursday. Hooray. And I will be locked up in school for the next two days.. NPCC camp. ZZZ. Oh my muscle ache!
Still chionging Philo. Wish me luck, mates.
Yer stinky Squid, walk the plank!

Pirates Ahoy! Friday, May 25, 2007
Yo Ho! Pirates' back in town! (: That reminds me, this is the reason why I hate Spiderman and Shrek so much.
So went to watch in Lido yesterday. Managed to drag Huimin the Johnny Depp hater along as well. (: But sadly, her opinion of him has not changed, though I seriously think that she hates him mostly because of me. Oh wells. Huimin is such a huge bully.
As much as I would love to praise the movie for its complexity and cleverly crafted plot, I was disappointed. Of course, it's still worth watching at least three more times as well as paying another 30 odd bucks for a DVD, I am not that enthusiastic about the movie [or the ending]. Shit, must be because I'm a Jack/Liz [Sparrabeth] shipper, but whatever it is, the movie is certainly not as comical as the previous one. DMC was such a ball of fun, I had a great time watching and rewatching it in the cinemas. As for At World's End [when did they add the apostrophe to the original title - At Worlds End?], I don't even find it as funny as Spiderman III. Hello? A spidey movie which is not supposed to be all that funny is more hilarious than a movie that's supposed to bring comic relief? ZZZ. And have I said it before, that the ending sucks? My ship, as it seems, has just sunk [See the sidebars for my ships]. Poor Jack! In the end, he was left with nothing, back in square one, not far from his state in the beginning of POTC:CotBP. I guess that's what T and T said about a full arc. But he doesn't deserve it yo! He was such a hero in AWE! He saved Will from his death and Liz from Davy Jones' ship. And what did he get in the end? A dingy! And loneliness. Poor guy.
I'll continue tomorrow. ZZZ. Haha spent too much time reading Jack/Liz threads, reading Jack/Liz fanfics and watching Jack/Liz fanvids. The only way to make me feel better..
[After watching Jack/Liz fanvids on youtube..]
Gah. Not a good.. Idea! The fanvids make me feel even worse, if that's possible. -Cries-
I don't want to be to harsh on POTC, because no matter what, I'm still a fan.
[Edit on Saturday 26May]
I love Johnny Depp. I love Jack Sparrow. I love POTC [Yes, AWE included]. I love the epic feel to pirates. I love the brilliant lines which were executed almost perfectly. I love the soundtracks. But I love Sparrabeth too! Which is why, I don't know what to feel now.
HOIST THE COLOURS! (: Love that song. Just like how much I love He's a Pirate, The Medallion Calls in the first movie, and Jack Sparrow, The Kraken, Davy Jones, Wheel of Fortune in the second. As for AWE's OSTs, they actually have more of a grand feel to it.. Especially Drink Up Me Hearties, which I find saddening. Maybe I am thinking of what could have been for Jack/Liz, that's why.
Jack! He was such a hero in AWE, he saved Will and Elizabeth, even though we know that he really really wanted to be the captain of Flying Dutchman. In one tiny Sparrabeth scene, he was so concerned with Elizabeth when they saw her dad on the boat.
PIRATES! Woots. Jack is classic, an icon of today.
Don't break us Sparrabethers' hearts again, TnT, if there were to be a forth movie. Where is all the shippiness that could be seen in CotP? And DMC's vexed Jack? Don't just assume everyone will forget the compass scenes. Zzz. I think I am not making much sense.
I feel like crying now. In need of some waffles and Sparrabeth love. :(

谁能告诉我 谁能理解我
最后还是投降了。 没人帮助我 没人理解我
Just read Pirates of the Caribbean spoilers. Gosh. I think I'll cry at the end. [Where's my ship? It has just sunk.] But as usual, our Captain Jack is bloody wicked. Johnny Depp! (:
Today met up with Shuhui at Heeren, to collect MayDay's Viva Love album. It was really quite fun talking to Shuhui and looking at the albums and DVDs on display haha, even though it's my like 4th time at HMV within the past few weeks. WHEEE Wu Yue Tian!!! They are coming in 12 days' time! [Oh I can hear SHE's 中国话 blaring from the TV in the living room.] And I'm supposed to collect my pretty MayDay Jump shirts next Wed? Rocks! (:
[Edit at 10.20pm]
Zzzah. I take back what I said about 俞思远 and BIZ. I am GAHHH freaking addicted to 暗恋情书！So screwed. I'm supposed to hate this guy! But I'm not. -.- I guess what I really hated was the comparison [Freaking Judges!! How dare you 酸 MayDay!], but whatever it is, I think 俞思远 is one of the few fresh faces in China's music scene [which doesn't look too good at the moment] who can make a difference. I mean, how many rock bands from China have you ever heard of? Me, only 花儿乐团 [大喜宙、洗刷刷], some random band with a really strange name I saw on MVT the other day, and BIZ. Seriously. And the most 'rock' of the three is BIZ. 花儿 jumps too much. The lead singer is plain weird. [He wears a dog bone on his head.] So BIZ has my blessings. Go dudes. [Btw their new album is coming out soon. Hehh.]
可不可以爱你MV - BIZ&俞思远
He wears black specs in this one. Looks familiar? Who does he remind you of? Ashin? Shin? Guan You? Pin Guan? Frog?!
Or take another closer look?

寂寞星球 Saturday, May 19, 2007
真的很孤单。 在你们的博客上，我的名字消失了；在你们的生活中，我离开了。 This marks the final separation between me and them. 再多的奢望，也无济于事。也许，我们本来就不是同样的人，从开始就几个性格完全不一样的人被迫在一起，做一样的事。只是不知道，假如你将你的朋友以重要性为准则排列，我究竟排第几？50？100? 200? 也许一年后，你就记不起我了，你就发现不了我的存在了，你就再也不晓得我是谁了。在你将我的名字从脑海里删除之前，我会自动离开。只是最终发现，自己还是慢了一步。
真的很无奈。
I've always treated all of you as friends. 一次又一次的背叛，一次又一次的从悲伤与痛苦的渊源中爬出来，一次又一次的添着伤口，狼狈的逃离这里，一次又一次的举着白旗，无奈的投降。
Today we got our papers back. It wasn't that bad, in fact it was a pretty okay result considering how much effort I actually put in. Anyway, Frog was there haha. [The cells! woohoo! I am so not washing my hands after this.] It was quite fun, just slacking behind and not caring about all the stuff the teachers were trying to say to the 400+ of us. I shall not moan about my GPA though. What a great favour I am doing to everyone. (: I, however, is concerned about my sciences and my Math. What a great screw up those were. Oh and my Options. I still have absolutely no idea what I should take in term 4. Dangg. I am indecisive. I'll take ages just to figure out what amount to put for which options, and by then there'll be no more space left for me. YAY.
其三：
I am pretty concerned/disturbed/irritated/annoyed about the comparison between Ashin and this guy from Shanghai called 俞思远. Saw him pretty regularly on TV when I was in China last year, because there was such heavy advertising for 天地英雄校园群英会 (whenever I opened the TV and switched to this particular entertainment channel, the ad would appear), and apparently he was singing 知足 and wearing black specs. I can still remember the Ad and the exact words he said. That says something. Ah Kenji Wu was there too haha. Then, saw him with his band BIZ on 哈比七点档, so he left quite an impression on me. Before that, I thought he was okay, but after the progamme, I thought he was kind of vain and lofty. I don't know. He acted so unconcerned and stoned throughout, not bothering to answer questions from the hosts, and did not even crack a smile at all. So naturally I took him as an 'act cool dude'. On another day, saw Ashin on the same programme with Pin Guan. Even though Ashin looked really tired and kind of lonely without his other bandmates, at least he didn't 耍大牌, and willingly played some games with the host, managing a joke at times. Can you see the difference in attitude? I know 俞思远 was sick that day, but so what? Ashin is, obviously, much more famous than him, but can you see Ashin's 诚意？Can you find that in 俞思远? What's more, there has always been a comparison between him and Ashin (as well as Shin who just went solo). The similarities are pretty obvious. He looks like Ashin (and Shin), he sings like one, he's called 包子 (like Ashin), he became famous by singing MayDay's songs (like 拥抱、温柔、知足、恋爱ING), he idolizes MayDay. What's so infuriating is that the judges of the talent contest he was in said that his abilities were much more superior than Shin and Ashin. I mean hello! Alright he may be great (though I seriously doubt so). His songs are pretty okay. For all I know, he may be a wonderful person. But look at him! Does he give you the kind of 感动that a rock band brings? Does he promote peace and love? Is he even remotely close to his idol in terms of personality? If the answer is no, then quit comparing him with Ashin! (Or even Shin, wth.) They are two very different people, therefore it's not fair to say one is better than the other. Of course I like Ashin much more than 思远, but that doesn't make 思远 less of a singer/rocker than Ashin. Or vise versa. Seriously. Some judges need to think before they speak (Ahh.. That makes me a hypocrite. I don't think when I speak. So yeah.). They are just creating tension between fans. Most MayDay fans are peace loving folks by the way. Most of us don't go around looking for trouble. It's often critics who give fans the reason to bash each other up.
暗恋情书MV - BIZ [It's not bad a song, so yeah I'll give those guys credit for that]
暗恋轻视－现场版 - BIZ
Hehh. People who skip my paragraph on 俞思远 will think that I actually like him. NO I don't! It's such a horrible thought okay.
小情歌－苏打绿
They are not bad a band. Even though I've always thought that the lead singer is a female. till I saw this MV. 0.0 I guess voices can be decieving too.
You know, maybe I should reflect on my life more than going crazy over MayDay. Do not get me wrong, MayDay is a great addition to my life, and I really appreciate how much they have inspired me and motivated me. They have brought much joy and excitement to my life. [Just see how happy I am each day. A 终结孤单 or 花 can lift me from the deepest valley of sorrow. 0.0] They are really great, really wonderful people. Can't imagine a world without them. I'm sure most MD fans will agree. That's why they have such a huge following, that's why there are still so many remaining fans. Love and Peace, Hope and Joy are the very things MayDay wish to bring about to the world. That's the true spirit of MayDay [Or any other rock bands for that matter]. That's 他们和我们的倔强.
But it is also essential to get our feet firmly on the ground [Besides during MayDay concerts, because we're supposed to leave our seats and JUMP! right? Hey dude, it's 离开地球表面.], because you can't expect to live long in the outer space without oxygen tanks and face masks right? So I shall quit beating around the bush and get straight to my point.
Why is the earth round [I mean sphere]? Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green?
Why is the world filled with terror? Why are there so many conflicts? Why can't anyone feel anything much these days?
Why am I so troubled? [Okay this is a pretty lame attempt at rhetorical questioning. Sorry.]
I know it's pretty dumb of me to feel this way, and I don't really know how to put all my thoughts together into a single coherant paragraph, but I am trying. Okay let me start with this. Why did I quit CO?
My decision of quiting CO had been manifested throughout the 3 years I've been in CO. It can be summed up with one word, 'rebelliousness'. 我不甘平凡. 我不愿受约束. 我想证明一件事，我的未来不应该被我自己以外的人所控制. 更恰当的是，我，要走我自己路，不管再艰难，再充满荆棘，至少我能骄傲的说：我曾试过，我曾感动过. 就是这么的简单. 大家不需要太过猜测. Quiting CO may not change my life much, but it's a step. It's a step towards having a firm grasp on my life, such that it won't go reeling out of my control. It's to tell those people straight in the face, 'This is my life, not yours.'
青春是挽不回的水转眼消失在指间 用力的浪费再用力的后悔 [Three guesses for the name of the song and the singer (:]
Joining the Police Force. I feel the calling. I guess it's the same feeling when you suddenly have that special tingling sensation that accompanies a strong belief that the next one will hit the jackpot. The Blue race, that's what Michael Connelly calls it. Am I ready for it? Am I ready to sacrifice everything I've achieved so far in life for something not necessarily worth the cause? It's a totally different career path from my peers, whom I believe would aspire to become doctors, lawyers, business women, women leaders in their fields. I can foresee that in the future, my classmates will return for a class of 2007 dinner donning branded wear, all extremely successful, while I will be sun burnt, face wrinkled from days of worrying over certain cases, and world weary. Will I regret? Will I lose the faith I have?
I hope not.
当风雨都过去迎着风看天空 不放弃才能够有感动 这一生这一次为自己抬起头 至少要骄傲的盛开过
Whatever it is, life is too short to fret over things like this.

Since there's nothing I can do about the screwing up of blogger on my comp, I shall continue to blog with what I'm left with.
Hmm. Let me start from MayDay's concert last week! Apparently, from the reports it was quite successful, and everyone was [apparently] high. [I mean, isn't that duh? Nobody ever fails to get excited during a MayDay concert.]
Anyway, back to my life. Oh yeah Math test. It was pretty dots, because Frog came in halfway through the test and spent another 15minutes or so talking to my Chem teacher who was also my invigilator. They were whispering extremely loudly please! I was able to catch snatches of the conversation. And she was slapping Frog on the back. 0.0 Please don't behave like a couple when both of you are married. -.- It was so distracting! Couldn't concentrate. In the end, I didn't manage to solve a single question in Frog's presence. But when Frog left, I was able to get my brains back together and carried on with my test. When the test ended, I found out that I was not the only one who felt that way okay! When Frog was walking down the aisle, quite a few people went blank. Tsk tsk. Frog makes people brain dead. Bwahh. [And yes, I know what the laughter and the smiling was all about. Zzz.] -Inhales deeply-
After Math, I was feeling extremely high. [Don't I always? Because this is the month of MAY.] So I think not many of us actually cared about the Physics SPA that was supposed to take place 2hrs after our Math. And seriously. I have not felt that relaxed in a test before. After Physics SPA, went to catch a movie with Alicia and Linlin. (x Ali was telling me how a side parting looks nicer than a centre parting, and taught me how to, since previously I didn't know. I'm such a loser. [In the end I really tried okay! Yesterday and this morning! But today's wasn't successful, because of the wind that came with the downpour. So I switched back to my good ole centre parting. Yeah. Even though I know it looks gross. But whatever! I'll just let nature take its course. Shun Qi Zi Ran! (x
I saw the Sheng Xia Guang Nian [Eternal Summer] poster! Was trying my best to convince everyone there that Ashin sang the theme song. -.- Idiot Huimin. Suan MayDay.
Spiderman III was the movie we caught. At first I went to watch with the intention of bashing the movie because I HATED the first two Spidey movies and they sucked like crazy, so I thought maybe Spidey III would be the same. BUT IT WASN'T. So I've underestimated Sony Pictures. They managed to turn a supposedly touching piece of classic into a hilarious ball of fun. Thank you, Alicia, for your recommendation, as it brought me loads of joy and laughter.
[See? I know how to fang4 de2 xia4. That's why I am happy everyday. Kinda.]
At the start, I was complaining to Alicia about Spiderman, so much that she was fed up. Gee. Then things began to go uphill. You can just summarize the plot in simple lines such as: Spidey Episode III - the emo kid strikes back, Spidey turns black and ugly, Spidey goes goth. I laughed when the spiderman dude became mean. I laughed when the same dude in tight fitting red and blue suit cried. I laughed when it was supposed to be a touching scene. Basically, I laughed at anything that was worth my laughter [or not]. But it was amusing. Just too amusing. Love the movie. I think if the producers were to see this, they won't know whether to laugh or cry. Haha.
Woohoo I CAN'T WAIT FOR PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN III! That reminds me why I hated Spiderman in the first place. I see Spidey as a strong competitor of Pirates, and I won't want it to overtake Pirates, yea? The huge pirates posters pasted in the lifts and on the walls were really getting me over the moon. So I sort of hugged the Johnny Depp poster! Haha. Depp, he's really great. And after we came out of the movie theatre, saw the trailer/production videos of POTCIII, so I was standing there watching [and drooling at Depp] while Lin Ali Ame Nat Liting Izzah Cynthia discussed about Spidey. Like who cares about Spidey when there are.. PIRATES? (x Pirates pwn all the superheroes in the world. SAY YES TO PIRACY.
TODAY! The only fun thing was introduction to Campus Superstar okay! Our class has one finalist - My classmate for the forth year JJ Lin Jia Jun. [Cum'on. I've asked you so many times to sing one MayDay or at least SHE's Wu Yue Tian, and today you broke my heart. :(] The hosts today were so hilarious! (: [I watch talent search programmes not for the contestants [they are just so boring] but for the hosts and judges. Like, AI was for Simon and Seacrest. Same goes for SI, Project Superstar, Dance Floor. Okay I am OT.] I'll always go high and crazy for such events, even though I'll tell myself beforehand that I WILL KEEP MY COOL. Just see what happened for last year's Project Superstar. :( Kena scolded in front of the audience, the hosts, the judges, by the producers. Thanks man.
Throughout the day we sat through all the most boring talks ever, and then! When somebody was going to give a talk on piracy [Yo! Pirates Ho!], Avril Lavigne+JayChou+perhaps other artistes [Guess who was in my mind!], we HAD to leave the hall for options talk. That's so great. Thanks man!
Tomorrow is gonna be ORA. FUN RIGHT.
22 more days to JUMP.
Quit it about Masa and Fish. What's with THEM and MayDay? PLEASE STOP. STOP hurting us.

It's either that my comp is screwed, or blogger. I hope it's the latter, because now my 'Create' page under 'Posting' is all over the place. Gah. First, blogger hates youtube. Now, this. Maybe it's time for me to move to livejournal or thegreatestjournal or something along those lines, after using this url for 3 and 1/2 years. Dang.
Read this. Now you know how much Ashin went through. So can you stop complaining about the 'kiss'? As for reports on Masa and Fish Leong, I'll just have to say, it's so not fair for them!
