It was a really nice belated birthday celebration and I'm sorry that things didn't turn out as you guys had planned it BUT I truly enjoyed it still! Karoake-ing at our 'regular spot' is always funnnn! Haha. And I'm really touched that you all came wearing my fave colour - even though I only noticed it much later! Haha

Thank you so much for the really hard to cut and chew but really really nice chocolate-marshmallow cake! I truly appreciate your effort in making the cake cos I know I can't bake a cake to save my life! LOL.

And thank you so so much for all the awesome presents in my favourite colour - BLUE! *sings: the colour of blue~ reminds me of you~* Hahaha.

And of course, thank youuuu for the Nichkhun jigsaw puzzle!!! It's really AWESOME! I'm gonna frame it up or something! But no thank you for leaving me to put the puzzle together by myself, without any reference while you guys were happily singing! HMPH! Hahaha.

And now, I have so many more reasons to stay in my room all day long thanks to all the posters I put up! Ahhhh I have heaven in my own room~ ^^

I went to NUS FASS open house on Saturday and it made me more confused! I have to take at least one introductory module from each of the three baskets - Asian Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences. I've pretty much decided on History for Humanities and Southeast Asian Studies for Asian Studies. But I can't decide on Psychology or Sociology for Social Sciences. Hmm. And this coming from someone who told practically everybody that I wanted to major in Psychology in university heh. Well, I'm having doubts and second thoughts now that I didn't get the MOE Teaching Scholarship (which maybe really did happen for a reason). OH and I want to take Korean at the Centre of Language Studies! Yes, so that I can watch Korean shows WITHOUT subtitles haha. But I think it would be quite interesting to learn not only the language but the culture too and although there are many other foreign languages, I'm most interested in Korean! Like DUH. HAHAHA.

Hmm should I squeeze in a little K-pop update since I don't have anything else to update on about myself? Haha. And actually, I don't really have much K-pop updates too and I'm too lazy to type too much haha. But since there seems to be many health issues with my favourite celebrities, here are a few well wishes. Firstly, GET WELL SOON to SS501's Kim Hyun Joong who recently got into a car accident! Recover well Oppa! I'll be anticipating SS501's live comeback on 4th June on Music Bank! ^^ Also, to my dearest 2PM, you guys need some rest. Junsu Oppa injured his knee and hasn't been performing the past weekend. Wooyoung and his vocal chord nodules. And now, Chansung oppa too? *sighs* GET WELL SOON JUNSU, WOOYOUNG & CHANSUNG OPPAS! ^^ And also, to any one else feeling under the weather these days, get well soon too and take care of your health! (:

I really really have nothing else to update on haha. So till next time, toodles~

They always say bad news first right? Well I got not-so-great news today. Received a letter and my dad was so sure that it was some insincere, computerised birthday wish from some company or whatnot haha. But when I opened it, my heart kinda sank. I think that insincere birthday wish would have been better. But yeah, basically I found out that I didn't get the MOE Teaching Scholarship. I was a tad disappointed even though I kinda had this feeling that this would happen. The more disappointing thing is that they couldn't have had a better timing. Out of all days, it had to arrive on MY BIRTHDAY. But oh wells, people have been giving me lots of support and well wishes via sms and facebook so I don't feel so bad. It's just a minor setback and I will definitely still work as hard in NUS (:

ANYWAYS, let's put that horrid news aside now. And well, TODAY I TURN NINETEEN! Gosh I'm really that OLD?! Haha. I'm already in the last year of my teenage life! But I really don't feel any more mature though! Nineteen years have really flown by. And I've overcame many obstacles like PSLE, OLEVELS, ALEVELS, HEARTBREAKS, FAILURES and whatnot. And I know that there'll be many more obstacles in time to come but hopefully, nineteen years on this earth has taught me to always be strong and persevere! I will soon start a new chapter of my life in NUS and I hope that it will be just as enjoyable and memorable as the past nineteen years of my life ^^

I didn't do much on my birthday. Mostly slacked at home haha. And had a small celebration with my family. And that's all I could ask for, to celebrate my birthday with the ones I love most (:

And isn't my cake so pretty and yummy??? It's Secret Recipe's Chocolate Indulgence cake. SEVEN AWESOME LAYERS OF CHOCOLATE HEAVEN ^^

And of course, to everyone who wished me a happy birthday... THANK YOU! TERIMA KASIH! KAMSAHAMNIDA~~~ ^^
And which Korean celebrities do I share my birthday with?

Haha but I've been a huge BUM today. My dear laptop has kept me company today! LOL. Been watching Personal Taste the whole day (though most of the time was spent waiting for the videos to load) but now I'm stuck at episode 13 part 6 cos it just won't load! And I can't find any other alternatives for now! Guess I'll have to try my luck again tomorrow ): Episodes 15 & 16 are going to air in Korea this week! But I doubt it'll be the end of the drama cos the producers were considering extending the drama. Extending is good cos I'll get to see more Minho!!! But then again, the ending may get draggy/sucky so we'll see. But the drama is really really good (and not just because Minho and Seulong are in it). I recommend you to watch it ^^ I'm definitely getting the DVD once it's out so that I can rewatch it again and again and add it to my collection of K-Drama DVDs (:

I've also been watching Cinderella's Sister on KBSWorld, which by the way is one of Personal Taste's rival drama in Korea (cos they have same airing timings tho Cinderella's Sister has been reigning in ratings!). I'm only at the sixth episode though. Watching on TV is slow cos they only air two episodes per week but at least I don't have to wait for the stupid videos to load!!!! Grrrr! So far, the drama's quite good. It's abit more on the serious side compared to Personal Taste but still nice to watch :D Eh and I'm also watching this nonsense drama Birth Of A Rich Man on KBSWorld. It's really nonsense but it gives me a good laugh though! Haha just something to help me pass the time :D

Ok what's with all this talk about dramas haha. But yeah that's pretty much what I've been doing these days besides going for driving lessons and tutoring (the only productive things I've been doing LOL). Oh oh and yesterday I did abit of shopping, just abit but it feels gooood! I haven't shopped in quite some time so it was nice just to get new clothes, earrings and my essential Body Shop stuff (:

There's been many comebacks this month. And most recently, Wonder Girls made their comeback with a new song '2 Different Tears' recorded in THREE different languages - English, Korean and Chinese. It's an awesome track! Loving it so much! And I'm also loving MBLAQ's new song 'Y' - it's really catchy! Can't wait for their full album to drop on 18 May, my birthday! *coughs coughs* ^^

Oh and before I go, I want to wish 2NE1 a HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY since their debut! They debuted last year on 17 May (which is tomorrow but it's already 12AM in Korea as I type!) and they have rocked the K-Pop world with their unique and powerful style. 2NE1 is undoubtedly one of my fave girl groups out there and I can't wait for their comeback! We Blackjacks will support you girls always! Let's play 2NE1!! ^^

And congrats to my dearest to my dearest 2PM boys for winning #1 yet again on Music Bank today and also on M! Countdown yesterday :D And please please get well soon to Junsu Oppa!!

And OMG Super Junior's comeback stage on Music Bank today was DAEBAKKKK! Bonamana is dominating twitter and the rest of the internet. Way to go Super Junior!! ^^ And it was recently confirmed that Shindong is dating an ordinary girl. Congrats to him :D It may be a bittersweet news to ELFs but it's nice to see idols dating and not publicly at that. Idols should be allowed to date ^^

Enough saidddd. Off to watch Mnet Scandal nowww! The one with Thunder from MBLAQ. Grrr I hate the show, but oddly enough I still want to watch it LOL. And need to catch up on Personal Taste toooo ^^

Haven't been up to much lately ever since Aristal ended last week. Been slacking at home mostly. But oh, I did get myself another tutoring job (: It's just an hour every week and I don't earn that much cos the kid is only in primary three but any extra cash is welcomed haha. But the boy is really cute! He's grown up so much since I last saw him - he's my mum's cousin's son. Hmm besides that, I haven't been doing much. I've been helping my brother to prepare for his exams although it's more like making him sit down and study! It's really tiring and it feels like I'm the one sitting for the exams -.-

*Yawns* I'm feeling kinda sleepy cos I woke up at 3am to send off my mum to the airport since she'll be off to the US for a week for some presentation. Hope she has a safe and smooth trip there :D

Oh oh, check out 8eight's new song "The End Is Coming". It is a really nice song - it literally gave me goosebumps. And the MV features my hubby, 2PM's Khun :DDD He really looks angelic. The MV and song complements one another. I almost cried watching the MV! Looks like 8eight will have another hit :D

And great news for me cos Big Bang just released a new song called "Shouts Of The Reds Part 2" :DD The song features Kim Yuna (yes, the figure skater whom I absolutely admire!). The song is really nice even though it's just a song in support of Korea's World Cup campaign. I miss my dear boys!!! :D

And Happy 23rd Birthday to 2AM's Seulong! I love his character on Personal Taste! So cute and hilarious! Saranghae oppa! ^^

First, a very happy 31st birthday to Lee Hyori unni! She may be in her thirties but I really envy how young and pretty and sexy she looks! I wonder what I will look like in my thirties. Hmm... HAHAHA.

First off, we have Super Junior making a comeback with their new song 'BONAMANA'! It's a bittersweet comeback cos there's only ten out of thirteen members due to Kibum busy acting, Kangin joining the army and Hankyung going against SME ): But nonetheless, I'm glad they're finally making a comeback too even though I'm not a fan (but also not an anti) of them. But hmm... not really feeling their new track yet. Need to see the MV and their performances to fully convince me. But the song does have a kind of bollywood feel to it HAHA. Will it be another hit like 'Sorry Sorry'? Take a listen to the song and judge for yourselves!

Secondly, CNBLUE also released a new track titled 'Love Light' from their upcoming second album! This song isn't their title track but it's a really nice mellow song that Yonghwa composed himself. Yonghwa was reported to be diagnosed with vocal cord nodule last month but their comeback date will proceed on as planned. So get well soon oppa! Enjoy this lovely soothing song for now while we wait for the release of the second mini album and title track on the 19th! :D

Ok. Need to sleep early tonight. I have to get up at 3am later!! I'll be back with more updates about ME soooon! (:

NJC Malay Dance definitely rocked the stage with our passion and dedication. I really hope (though I'm pretty sure) that the audience enjoyed each and every one of our performances just as much as we did. Although when the curtains fell, I didn't quite feel the same joy and excitement like I did last Aristal. However, I think what I felt was a sense of pride - I'm really proud of my juniors for all the hard work. I'm proud of their achievement at putting in the best efforts for the dances, and even more so for feeling like a true dance family. And I'm glad that I was there to be a small part of their achievement :D

Malay Dance has and will always be a passion of mine. And I'm sure that there are more opportunities for me to perform again in the future. But to find another dance family like NJMDS would definitely be quite hard. Last night was most probably my last dance as an NJC Malay Dancer, so the night was all the more memorable and special.

to my fellow seniors and juniors, keep up the passion.

once an njc malay dancer, always an njc malay dancer.

Went out with my family yesterday to Suntec City. Oh, I found out that they have Etude House there too! Haha, my makeup heaven (: But ANYWAY, I got a new iPod Touch and a new digital camera yesterday!!! ^.^

Most of you would know that I already have an iPod Touch right? BUT that was bought two years ago (with my own money ok!) and it's only 8GB which is so not enough space for all my music, videos and apps! Plus, that was the 1st generation iPod Touch so it's lacking many features like the built-in speakers etc. And when I bought it two years ago, it cost me $498! BUT now, my NEW iPod Touch is the 3rd generation, 32GB and only costs $468 (like wth right)! And I'm really really happy. This is (according to my parents), some sort of an early birthday present and also, for my satisfying (?) A Levels results :D Oh yes, I got a new camera too! It's really pretty and cool, and quite pricey too. But my mum will be claiming it from her school or something, so better to get something more expensive right? Haha. The camera is also supposed to be an early birthday present. And though technically it's supposed to be mine, my whole family will use it too - like my mum will be bringing it to US next week for her course (since she's claiming it from her school, she has to bring it luh) haha. But all's well cos I most probably won't be using it aaaallllll the time anyway. Maybe I have 75% ownership? Heh. And at least, we now have a WORKABLE camera for use! :DDD KAMSAHAMNIDAAAA MAMA & BAPAK!!!! ^_^

This week will be a bussssyyyy week I think. There's dance practice tomorrow morning, and I have my interview in the afternoon. WISH ME LUCK! Tuesday is Aristal full dress rehearsal at UCC in the afternoon till night. And Wednesday is Aristal itself and I'll be at UCC from morning all the way to night. CAN'T WAIT! And I have driving lessons on Thursday and Friday afternoons. So can't slack at home as much this week. HAHAHAHA!

And of course, HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO 2AM's MAKNAE, JINWOON!!! Can I call you oppa??? Cos you are still older than me, even if it's only 16 days!! HAHA. Stay CUTE always! Can't wait to hear your lovely voice again when 2AM makes a comeback!! (:

And also, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO EX-WONDER GIRLS MEMBER, SUNMI! I'm sure many Wonderfuls will miss you on stage but hope you're doing fine nonetheless! (:

But what better way to celebrate Labour Day and the first day of May with SS501's teasing of their comeback with their jacket album photos. Well, they originally planned to release their comeback album today (1st May) - anybody can guess why? ^.^ (Hint: something to do with their group name) - but the album will be delayed. So I guess these photos will have to do for now. Plus, the photos look really look mysterious and makes me anticipate their comeback even more! Hyun Joong Oppa!!! Jung Min Oppaaaa!! :D

Plus, HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY to 2AM's CHANGMIN! He has an awesome body and an even more awesome voice :D

Oh, and I've accepted NUS' offer :D
