I LOL when I saw Miley's performance at American Idol. She never fails to make my laugh with her untimely head banging during emotional songs. Last year at the same show with The Climb and this year with her new song...what was it..When I Look At You. If im not wrong.
Having said that, I feel that her performance is so much better than the performance by Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato is fine but I cringe whenever Joe Jonas opens his mouth and try to sing. He is using so much force that it never feels like a good thing to hear him sing. It just so hard, literally.

Sometimes, the netballers are perceived as machines. Due to our frequent trainings, which consist of running distance that some of you run once or twice a year, doing unusual stunts under the hot sun and bearing with ear blowing screams, we have evolved into a team of unbeatable terminators.
However, sad to say, we failed in the finals of the South Zone netball championships two weeks ago. The team was oppressed by the high energy level of the opposing team and nothing was done in attempt to overthrow it. It could be we were not focused during the game or our desire was not as strong as the opponent but nevertheless, we got what we deserved.
As our hearts were not told how to feel and our minds not told what to think about, the defeat meant nothing to us. After the game, daily activities carried on as usual. It was not till a couple days after when training was cancelled, as coach wanted us to reflect about the game, did the truth finally came crashing down on me. I could not believe that the team allowed that to happen. It saddens me to realize that we lost sight of what we want to achieve on the quest of achieving it.
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats. This defeat has re-ignited the flame that once burns in us and I believe it will be the pushing force that is going to send the team the greater heights.

I prefer blogging to facebook and all the other stuff that are coming up. Dont know why but yeah.
Have been thinking a lot about AEP these days. I really want to work a very good concept so that I wont change it mid-way. Got to finalise my idea soon in order to start on my almost impossible-to-complete sketches if I dont start now. Anyway, it felt really good to print out my VAT, the baby I have been working on for the past few month, though I met lots of obstacles while printing and after printing. Shant go into details. XD Bought The Celebrity Mum (a book) just for AEP, dedicated right! (nah, just needed to convince myself that I really need to buy the book and I did)
Birthday was good,, cant believe I'm 16 now. Mum bought me a watch that I really like :D and lots of love from everyone everywhere! I was so excited that afternoon as I thought that I may see Adam Lambert. You see, I was going to Bugis Junction to watch Alice in Wonderland and I found out the day before that he was going to be there. In the end, I didnt see him. He was late and I had to go into the theatre. So disappointed in him. Being a celebrity doesnt give anyone a reason to be late. But anyhow, he is a really interesting character that I would really want to meet and talk over a drink or something.
BTW, Honours day was inspiring. Wondering if I can ever stand up on that stage base on academic results. Not sure if it was Honours day or because I'm in secondary 4 this year, I no longer depend on my mood to study or do homework. I think I am maturing little by little to know that I have to do something and no distractions is allowed.
Is anyone out there afraid of growing old? I was watching the repeat of Oprah Winfrey show this morning, it was about longevity. I really wonder why people want to live into their second century when they have to watch their diet, I'm talking about not eating any meat, occassionally fish and lots of green. Eating good food is so important in my life that I would rather not live if I were to be like a sheep eating grass everyday. I want to live long enough to experience what I want to experince in life and just die. Frankly, I am very scared of seeing myself in the mirror, with all my skin sagging, freckles and bumps all over my skin and wailkng at snail's pace everywhere (never thought that wheelchair is an option). I WANNA GROW OLD GRACEFULLY! (dont wanna be young forever cause that would be real scary)

I can see the effort = not good enough
This statement can be true and false at the same time.
False:
When do people ever see your effort? They just say it because they have nothing better to say about whatever you are doing. Guilty as charge, I do not care how you have done it so long as you did. If you did not, you are in deep trouble. Well, that is the way our world works. This is why our society is so great because it is competitive. The reason behind this competitiveness is because we are easily replaceable. The reason why we are replaceable is that people judge everything according to the outcome. We do not ever stop to appreciate the efforts out into the work. Not when it is successful and obviously not when it is unsuccessful.
True:
Humans are emotionally charged creatures, especially women. We always try to sugar-coat our words so that it will not sound as bad as it really is. Simply because, one, we know how it feels to be disappointed, knowing that you are just not good enough and two, we care enough to not let our love ones feel the same way we felt. Being tactful is good, but do not cross the line and lie about how good it is. Instead of protecting her, you are setting up the stage for future failure. In contrary, frankness might work some times. It encourages the individual to work on areas of improvement and prevent our ears from blowing. Thats why we love Simon Cowell!

Heh. Has been a month since I have posted. This weekend is one of theose that I have little homework and I am not too busy watching television and finally remembering I still have a blog to take care off. Wonder if anyone out there is still reading but still gotta post something so that I dont feel guilty about negecting this blog. Feels horrible to be forgotten.
Went walking around town yesterday with my Mum, she was in a bad mood and I had to get out of house to get 20 photos for AEP coursework studies on Fashion Accessories. That was the best AEP homework K. has ever gave:D So great I may consider not refering to it as homework.
BTW, did some crazy things with the AEP gals when we werent under the watchful eyes of K.. It was really LOL. We were on the verge of going crazy from VAT. Writting a report of twelve hundred words (I almost died as I thought it was 12000 but Ping said it was 1200. Why the hell cant she say one thousand two hundred?) could be easy for some people but it wasnt for me, and of course not if a GOOD report of twelve hundred words is needed.
Orchard centre is a cool place to visit but not the best for shopping. Love the rooftop garden and interesting stuffs (yes im refering to the tallest woman in the world and the cool flower pots and insects on the floor). But, you will find yourself spending half of the time meandering your way through the ever confusing layout.
