Change my blogskin finally.
Of course, it's not an original blogskin by me.
You will never be able to see one of my own~
Due to the very fact that those coding are alien to me.
The most i can do is to make some minor changes to current codings available.

After a long while, i got tired of my old blog skin and my own noob looking banner. Hence, i decided to surf through blogskins.com for a brand new skin. After looking through one quarter of the skins available on that web, i decided on this. Cause it's cute~

Haha~

One bad thing is that the space available for the blog post itself is quite small. It's ok for normal word entries, but for entries with pictures, it will jut out if the pic is too big. Hence, i will only post small sized pictures in future.


Lastly, a very happy chinese new year to everyone. Although it's already the 4th day of CNY.
Will not be updating anytime soon due to the nearing exams. But no worries, after the exams, i shall resume regular blogging. XD

Family Portrait by Pink

Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her
last name
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do
anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone
Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night



Heard this song during NYP's first night open house, sang by one of the contestant from NYP Got Talent contest.

When i first heard it, i think it's a nice song, hence decided to listen it again.
Listening through the lyrics, i feel that i can relate to it...

Difference is that my family is already like that even before i am born.

Difference is, we don't have a family portrait at all...
As in, not one with everyone present...

Difference is, there's nothing to go back to.

Difference is, we can't pretend nothing happened.
Simply because damaged done~
What done cannot be undone...

The song describe a family that's once happy...
But for mine, it's never happy.....


It's sad...

But i had gotten used to it...


Cause nothing will change...


No matter what you do...


I wished that we had at least one family portrait though, even if we are in this kind of situation...
But that is a dream that's never going to come true...
Never...


Cause, it's never normal...


At the very least, the fire was cease...
Just like a peace treaty signed...
Like the chinese saying goes...
井水不犯河水。。。



Yet, the damage been done...

Memories of a 4 yr old girl hiding in the room crying as she was frighten by her parents were fighting, throwing stuff all around. Her brothers can't be bothered cause it's not the first time...


That was my very first memory of this world...


Sad right...

This song is super cute~~


The movie is not bad either~


I will not review it but i rate it 4 out of 5 stars. XD



Ponyo~ Ponyo~

Exam timetable is out.
From 9th to 13th February.

Around 1 more month to go...

This exams will be the last that i will have. XD

I will definitely work hard for it.

Mainly due to the fact that i felt that i did not do as well in some of the ICAs...

Especially in entre...

Hence, have to work hard in the exams to pull my grades up right??

XD


After exams it will be the holidays...

After that it will be my internship...

After internship will be TEP...

Then it will be graduation...

Scary la...

Time past so fast...

Haiz...


Anyways, wanted to blog about NYP Open House'09 de...
But i am lazy...
And also tired due to the many presentations and reports.
Hence i shall just sum it up.

MEDIA STUDIES BOOTH ROCKS!!!!!

Yup, we had our own booth during the open house
and the organising team did a great job! I had my share
of fun helping out here and there too. XD

I love MEDIA STUDIES!!! XD
(Except the management part. But biz law an exception cause it's interesting :P)




Okays~
Shall end here.


CIAO~

Wanted to take a small break from the projects and all.

My eye then caught a box underneath the DVD player in my mum's room, and i decided to take some picture.








These were all collected during my primary school times, mainly during primary 4 i think.
Most of these come from those capsules, those you put $1 or $0.50 then turn one. Part of them came from pasar malam where they sell 5 for $2 or something if i am not wrong.

This collection consists of the original yellow version and some from the gold/silver version.


More pictures and close-ups.~
Close ups aren't great but the camera's running out of batt and i was thinking this to be just a quick shot. Since the main focus is more on the amount of pokemon figurines i have. XD








Din bother to count them though, but i believe i have at least a hundred. You can count them if you want. :P

This is just part of my 'capsule' toy collection. The pokemon part~
Even though i am no longer a huge fan of pokemon, i am still forever addicted to capsules!! HAHA~



Okay, that's all for today!
じゃね～

• My 18th birthday steamboat with my Besties~
• Jam&Hop'08~
• Haloween'08 spent at Mediacorp studio~
• The several class gatherings i had this year~

Ok, now's the time for New Year Resolutions~ Forget about last year's, cause i think any been realized. LOL~

1. EXERCISE MORE TO LOSE WEIGHT/SLIM DOWN (I am always to lazy to fulfill this :P)
2. Get my skin cleared of pimples/acne/acne scars.
3. Get a good internship and do well for it.
4. Good grades, maintain GPA at 3.
5. Save money, spend less.
6. Try to fulfill my resolutions. :P

Ok, that should be all for now. Maybe i will have new resolutions in some other times. But for now, that's all.

So What's your new year resolutions?
