The David Archuleta Experience - Part 2

All right! Let's continue with April 8th, the day after the Singapore showcase and autograph session with David Archuleta!

When I came back from the autograph session, my whole body was aching, so I did not know whether I would be able to hold on for the Private Meet and Greet (M&G) the next day. Therefore, I decided to sleep early to rest and set my alarm clock to ensure I woke up early.

My body felt slightly better the next day but I could still feel some aches but I managed to endure as they were not as bad as the day before. I got ready and packed my stuff before heading to City Hall MRT to meet the other lucky Archies before heading towards the hotel together for the Meet. At this point, I was still calm. It's just David. What could happen?

Once we reached the hotel, we proceeded to a room which had a "Private Meeting" sign placed outside. Larissa, one of the lucky Archies, set up her camera so she could take beautiful pictures of the moments with David. Everyone was starting to feel jittery as the time approached. He was supposed to meet us between 12 and 12.15 in the afternoon.

Soon, Ray, his tour manager came by to check out some things and Sheryl, the vice-president of DA.sg, suddenly blurted, "Oh my fish!". He merely turned and looked at the lot and said, "What?". Haha! It was a classic moment.

Suddenly, I heard some murmurings that David was already inside the room as he came from the door in the room (sneaky sneaky). Haha! It's understandable. As the door opened and closed, I saw a glimpse of him in a red shirt. I was pretty excited but nervous at the same time all of a sudden. Haha! The hotel staff was inside the room so we had to wait a while before we were given the green light. As some of the hotel ladies left the room, they were secretly spazzing but were trying to hide it. Haha! Typical, huh?

Soon, we were allowed to go in and I was the last to enter the room. He greeted us happily with that big, killer smile of his and is hands behind his back.

"Hey guys! How are you guys doing?"
"We are doing good!"

We placed our stuff on the floor and took pictures with him one by one. One of his funny, random comments was "That's a tiny jacket" when he took a picture with a girl because of what she was wearing. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's those jackets where it's only until chest. Haha! That was another classic moment.

When it was my turn, I said hi to him in which he replied back with a joyful "Hi!" in return and we took a couple of pictures. At that point, I could not believe I was standing beside him. It was a surreal moment. After that, I thanked him which he replied with, "Oh, you are welcome" and that smile again.

After the pictures were taken, each of us took turns again to talk to him and give him whatever we wanted to give him. Haha! When my turn approached, I walked up to him and gave him the Running wallpaper which Wincy, a Hong Kong Archie, printed for me the last time.

"Hey, this is a Running wallpaper I made."
"Oh wow, cool!"
"And here is a sketch I made of you. Could you sign it for me?"

Wallpaper:


Sketch:

I'm not sure what he said at this point as I blanked out for a moment, of all times. Why, man why? Anyway, he chose a silver pen and holding my sketch book firmly, he scribbled a big D followed by his signature. I merely looked at his hands when he signed my sketch for some reason. After he signed, I asked him if he could give a shoutout to a couple of Hong Kong Archies, Wincy and Hippie.

"Wincy and who?" -confused look- (I almost died here. Sorry random.)
"Wincy and Hippie."
"Oh ok."

As such, he got ready and smiled to the camera.

"Ok, ready, 1, 2, 3"

Here's the short clip. I love this moment.



After everyone met him, we showed him the Singapore banner and he was like "Aww cool! Who designed this?"and I raised my hand slowly. He looked at me for a moment before looking back at it and said "Awesome!". Then we took a group picture!


After that, the DA.sg peeps showed him the video which they made using his songs and gave him a CD which consisted of piano covers of his songs and the peeps singing it. David was really touched by it and Sheryl was quite emotional since she started the whole project as he was viewing the video. He consoled her by saying "Aww! Don't cry!" and held her close for a moment. It was really touching.

Soon, it was time for David to leave. Everyone bidded goodbye to him and he gave one last hug to Larissa (he should know her by now) before heading out of the room. Out of nowhere, everyone heaved sighs of happiness and some even burst into tears, still not accepting the fact we had met the boy wonder himself. We applauded for the President and Vice-President, Fifi and Sheryl for making this possible for all of us. After that, another group picture!


We soon had lunch and just spazzed more about David. Haha! It was great fun hanging out with other Archies!

In conclusion, I had fun during these past two days! I would never forget the experiences I had, fostering new bonds and making more friends, especially the International Archies! Thank you, DA.sg peeps, Dada, DL, Aura, Sharan and Prince for letting me meet you guys in person! You guys rock!

Also, meeting David himself was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If I get the chance to meet him again, I would try and chat more with him without trying to stone and blank out. Haha!

So, here are my experiences! I hope you guys enjoyed reading them! Until here then. Bye! Nash out! David FTW! :D

The David Archuleta Experience

Hey peeps!

It took me a while before I can finally blog about my experience with the boy wonder himself, David Archuleta! I'm still a little too not over it till now, but it may be a good thing. Haha!

All right, so first off.

April 7th.

It was the day where David was to have an autograph session at Iluma, a new shopping mall opposite Bugis Junction here in Singapore. I arrived at around 1pm and there was already some Archies sitting outside the doors of the mall. The autograph session was scheduled to held at 7pm that evening. Early huh?

I looked around for familiar faces before Larissa, an Archie, called out to me. And so, I joined them with someone shouting my name, Zaren, loudly to the others since I designed the banner for davidarchuleta.sg (DA.sg) and the free handheld fans for TeamArchie before I sat down. Thankfully, I was one of the first few in line.

Some Archies, whom I chatted with online, introduced themselves soon after. I was so excited and happy to have met them. They included DL from Sri Lanka, Aura and her sister, Sharan from India, Prince from Thailand and Ray and FSteven who were locals. I also met with the peeps from DA.sg too and got to chat and mingle with them. The free handheld fans from TeamArchie were also given to those who were present early.

As time passed by till around 4pm, more people started joining in the queue. Most of them consisted of students who came down straight from school. The DA.sg peeps then decided to show the banner which I designed for them. The crowd cheered and clapped and cameras were immediately taken out and pictures of the banner were snapped. We then cheered some more and soon around 530pm, the doors of the mall open.

Feeling the excitement, all stood up and started heading for the doors. Security was tight so one by one, each fan entered the mall and after the quick inspection of our Archie CDs, we sat down in front of the stage. There was still some time, so I took some pictures inside the mall. Songs from Archie's album started playing, so the crowd grooved and sang along. It was a fun atmosphere.

Soon, it was close to 7pm, the time David was supposed to appear. The emcee for the evening just reminded us to be careful and not push each other when David arrives later as there were kids in the crowd too and they want the event to run smoothly without anyone getting hurt. Even then, the whole crowd was stoked and pumped to see him with the loud cheers as they started to stand. The energy coming from the crowd was massive. Besides the 1st level, there were also people near the rails on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th storeys of the mall. The event was huge!

Suddenly, the crowd screamed loudly when the emcee announced his name again a few minutes later and I turned to see if he had arrived from the back entrance. Cameras were all ready to snap pictures of him above the heads of the crowd. There were more screamings before I finally caught sight of him as he waved to the crowd and headed towards a room first. Everyone waited in anticipation. The Meet and Greet sessions were going on at that time with some fans entering and leaving the room.

After that, the emcee announced his name again and I became deaf instantly with the really high pitched screamings from the girls behind me. As he walked out of the room and waved, he went up on stage. He was wearing a blue shirt with a tie, jeans and white sneakers. I could not believe who I was seeing. It was him. REALLY HIM.

The song played and he started singing Touch My Hand. I was smiling all the way as I recorded the video for that performance. Unfortunately, I did not record the rest of the performances as I had some technical errors that morning with my digital camera (long story). However, I managed to snap pictures for the rest of the performances.

He sang A Little Too Not Over You soon after, followed by a Thousand Miles on the electric piano and finally the hit song, Crush. He totally rocked that stage and kept hopping up and down at certain times but I could tell he was having fun. What's more, it was different to see him sing him live than seeing him sing on television. No word could describe how he performed and sang the songs live. It was incredible and sensational. I was blown away.

However, this was where it started to get ugly for me. My arms were aching from holding up the camera too long and the pictures I snapped kept turning out blur.

"Dang! Dang!"
"Oh crap! Crap!"

I kept muttering those words above angrily to myself when snapping the pictures as he performed but I tried my best to control my shakiness of holding the camera in order to prevent more blur pictures from being snapped. I mean, who wouldn't shake, when David Archuleta is performing right in front of your eyes for the first time? Well, I did.

After the performances, there were more cheers and screamings and I almost could not hear myself speak. Haha! Soon, the autograph session started and one by one in order, went up on stage to have our CD booklets signed by David. Each one was ushered quickly out of the stage as there was a huge crowd and they wanted him to sign as many autographs as he could.

When it was my turn, my CD booklet was given to him. As he signed, I just watched closely and after he was done, I took it from him and thanked him as I held out my hand. He looked at me blurly for a second before smiling and replied, "Oh, you are welcome" with his green eyes meeting mine for a couple of seconds and shook my hand firmly. He was seriously friendly and polite!

I think he was spacing out for a moment when he was signing my CD booklet. Haha! Anyway, his eyes were one of a kind. They showed sincerity and compassion, although it was only a quick glimpse. I would never forget those eyes.

As I walked down the stage and stared at his autograph, I felt really ecstatic and happy that I finally got to meet him. I mingled with the other Archies after that and I also got to meet Dada, an Archuleta Avenue member whom I also chatted with online. It was great to see her. I love her spunk. Haha!

Anyway, I shall stop here for the moment. Next up, April 8th. Until then. Nash out! :D

Kids

Hey peeps!

Today, I would be talking about kids in general since I have noticed a certain trend in them in terms of behaviour.

First of all, what's with kids nowadays? I feel like they are not like the kids before. Last time, kids are brought up in an environment whereby they learn to respect each other and have basic manners and courtesy. They learn to say hello whenever they meet someone they know, a teacher or friend perhaps. They learn to say sorry when they did something wrong and not blame the other person. They learn to excuse themselves should they need to pass through a crowd. Well, you get the idea.

Now, it's the total opposite. They would just stick out their tongues and tease you whenever you ask them to say hello to someone. They would keep blaming the other person for something they did wrong. They would just push you to one side with disrespect when they want to pass through your path and thinks the path is all his. This has come off too far and it has started to piss me off.

I feel that parents play an important role here in making sure their kids are brought up well. In this constant-developing world, parents need to be in control of their kids since the world is evolving and is starting to become one heck of a place unlike last time. Kids need to be protected and educated on the good and bad and what is right and wrong.

So, in conclusion, kids, behave yourselves and parents, do something about this. This is starting to annoy me, period.

Anyway, I just got the David Archuleta shirt designed by one of the S'pore Archies. It's dang awesome! Haha! He's coming next Tuesday! Man how time flies! How exciting!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Horoscope

Hey peeps!

Nothing much to talk about so I'll just post what I found out about my horoscope in Facebook. Do you agree what it says about me? I agree with MOST of them. Haha! You be the judge. :)

Traditional Libra Traits

Diplomatic and urbane
Romantic and charming (this we'll have to see sometime in the future)
Easygoing and sociable

That's all folks! Nash out! :D

Eye-Opening

Hey peeps! I have not blogged for a while (not sure if anyone even reads but whatever) so I'll talk about what has been happening in my life these past few days.

I have been trying to keep fit, so in some mornings the past couple of weeks, I have been playing badminton with my peeps, Indra and Shamir. Shamir was really good as we kept having the same points after each round. Haha! It was always deuces in the end, which got Indra, I don't know, jealous? Haha! Not really jealous but just feeling wierd that he could not achieve that kind of performance whenever he plays against either of us. Anyway, it was a great workout and I get to run and smack so it was cool. Haha!

Today, I got a chance to meet some Thai Archie fans! It was an awesome outing! This is like the first time I met an Archie face-to-face, especially an overseas one so that was pretty cool. I got to meet another 2 Singapore Archies too.

One of them, Larissa just shared her experiences about her meetings with David, so it was a pleasant afternoon. The other one was a Secondary 2 boy named Raihan who was kind of shy. Haha! But he kept smiling and laughing when we joked around, so we were happy together. Haha! Ok I'm not making sense here but..never mind moving on.

We took some pictures and just laughed some more. Haha! Pictures might be uploaded soon. :)

Lastly, a wierd dream I had. Ok first of all let me just say this does not happen to me often but this was one of a kind. So here we go..

I was in my room, chatting with a friend who came over (I guess, I'm not sure. I just remembered chatting with someone). Then, for some reason, I decided to leave the room for a while, perhaps to get a drink.

To my surprise, David Archuleta was singing Crush in my living room as he was strumming his guitar. There were also some screaming girls nearby. He was sitting on my sofa, singing with full of emotion as reflected on his face. I think at this point, I blamed my mum for not telling me David was in the house. MY house. But she just kept silent. Haha!

After he finished singing, he went up to me. I asked him how was Singapore (of all questions. Haha!). He said it was cool but still had others part of Asia to tour so he was excited and smiled at me.

Then I woke up, freaked out and pondered to myself. Did that really happen?

Gosh, it's next week! Eek! :D

Anyway, until here then. Bye! Nash out!

Towards The End

We are towards the last few pages of the book. Chapter 3 is about Fun and Games so I'll just pick the interesting things in there. Haha!

IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY A, you're so good that you're practically an angel. Either that or you're a big phony and a huge liar, and that makes you the most evil of all.

Deep down, we're all exactly alike. Except for the chicken, which you might remember is a huge jerk. We're all alike except for the huge jerks.

Congratulations!

You are now officially ready to Have a Life!

Take good care of it, and don't tell the idiots you have one or they'll want to get their grimy paws all over it.

Here are a few nuggets of wisdom to take with you as you go.

Chapter 4: One order of nuggets to go.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. But you can have your cake and eat someone else's cake too, and that's kind of better anyway.

Exercise hard. Eat right. Die anyway.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Unless it's about somebody who can't hear you.

Never be ashamed of your mood swings. I mean, who doesn't love swings?

The voices in your head are not real, but they still have some really great ideas.

And finally, always remember: You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. But you can choose the insane asylum where you have them all put away.

Everything will be just fine! Yeah Right.

Hope you enjoyed the short but insightful chapters of the book. Haha! At least I did anyway. Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

More Rabbit Wisdom

Here's Chapter 2. :D

Fables teach valuable lessons, like let Grandma get her own basket of goodies. Read this one, and see how much smarter it makes you.

Chapter 2: The Fable of the Excellent Bunny

Once there was this excellently perfect bunny (like you). The bunny always did perfectly excellent things.

One day the bunny met this chicken who was a huge jerk.

And this chicken always did mean horrible things.

The excellent bunny wanted to make friends with the jerk chicken. But as you know, there's no talking to jerks like that.

So the bunny let his friend, Mr Bear, eat the chicken.

And then everything was great!

Moral: All problems can be solved by letting a bear eat them

Quiz Time!

Let's see if you truly understand the moral of the story.

After I read "The Fable of the Excellent Bunny" I felt:

A) The need to acquire a bear.
B) Alarm over the number of people I know who recently acquired their own bears.
C) Swindled out of the cost of this book.

Answer: The incorrect answer is C.

Ooh American Idol is going Country this week. It'll be interesting to see what the contestants would sing. Haha! And Carrie Underwood would perform too. Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Race. Review. Ramble.

Hey peeps! Today is all about reviews since I have nothing interesting going on in my life. Well, today I watched Walt Disney's Race to Witch Mountain. The trailer kept playing on my TV set every time I turned it on so I thought it would be cool to watch it since it looked interesting.

The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, also known as "The Rock" who plays a cab driver in Las Vegas. It also stars Alexander Ludwig, who played a role in The Seeker (not that you guys would know but anyway). It's basically a simple storyline of a sci-fi movie, with two aliens (well in teenage human form) trying to get home but needs help in getting to their spaceship which is located, as you have guessed, in Witch Mountain located in the middle of nowhere. I shall say no more since it won't be exciting for those who want to see the movie but have not done so.

In my opinion, although the plot is predictable, the humour and special effects do make up for it. Funny lines from the cast and cool animation such as the spaceship and hi-tech computer system in the spaceship would surely entertain you that you would forget about the plot altogether. It's cool and fun for the whole family to see on the weekends so you guys should see if you just need to relax and unwind as well as laugh. Haha!

And other words of wisdom and junk that will make you wise or something.

All right. Here's Chapter 1 of the book I talked about in my previous post.

Intro:

This is a book. Unless you don't read, then it's a coaster.

No actual bunnies were physically harmed or emotionally damaged in the making of this book (though one chicken did sustain minor injuries). Any wisdom one gets from a bunny is probably not that hot. For your own safety, please do not take the advice of bunnies.

So you want to get wise, do you?

Well, you read Confucius or Socrates. You could study Solomon or Plato. But only one form of wisdom really and truly has a lot of pictures of bunnies...(if you get the book and see the pictures, you'll know what this means. Haha! Moving on..)

Chapter 1: Ancient Bunny Wisdom

The world does not revolve around me. It's the whole stupid universe that revolves around me.

There's no "I" in team. But there's a "me".

Love makes the world go round. But I'm pretty sure money has something to do with it too.

Work hard and the world is your oyster. Yup, you get a big, snotty oyster-scented world.

You can help anyone turn a frown outside down! Just pull off their head and flip it over.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Unless, of course, they did unto you first, and now you have to totally open a can of "unto" on them.

Laughter is the best medicine. So if you meet somebody with broken ribs, make sure to tickle them.

We must never, ever be mean to stupid people. If we are, they might go away. Then, who will we laugh at?

Learn the difference between right and wrong. You'll probably choose wrong, but you should at least know which is which.

When life gives you lemons..
..use them to squirt lemon juice into the eyes of your enemies.

I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. And I said, "Hey Footless Dude, guess you won't mind if I take your shoes."

Every cloud has a silver lining..
..for example, the most horrible farts can be used to inflate the most beautiful balloons.

Anybody who says you only have yourself to blame..

..is just not very good at blaming other people.

Quiz Time!

Okay, you've been on the path to Enlightenment now for 27 pages (if you read the book). Let's see if you are any closer.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

A) Half empty.
B) Half full.
C) I like pancakes and ducks.

Answer: The correct answer is C. Sometimes, the key to wisdom is not to answer every stupid question that somebody asks you.

More coming soon. Haha! Anyway, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

%^&*%$#@*&!

As I have suspected, I am sick with the flu, followed by a headache and a slight sore throat ever since yesterday. I only had a slight flu last Thursday when I had take-out dinner (KFC and Canadian Pizza) to celebrate my parents' 21st wedding anniversary but it was gone soon after. For some reason, the flu bug decided to hang around the house and attack me one Friday afternoon while I was lounging and watching TV. Ugh.

So ya, I have to battle with the constant runny nose and slight headaches and sore throat until I get better. Lots of panadol pills and hot Lemsip drinks have entered my body and somehow, I still don't feel the effect. Ugh again. Sniffs.

I have come across this book by Jim Benton which is hilarious! Most of the content is somewhat common sense but in a funny way. It talks about life from a bunny's perspective. I'll share the content soon. I totally laughed with my sister when we read it.

Well, until here then so as not to spread the virus through here. Haha! Bye! Nash out! :D

Nervous Wreck!

Hey peeps!

I am now in the school library just chilling and taking a sigh of relief. Why? Well, I just finished a TV interview in the morning just now for the news later tonight about the NP Advantage scheme, which was recently announced. Man, I was a nervous wreck! First time in front of the camera where people would watch it on the news later at night. I'll hide in my room for that half-an-hour telecast before I'll come out again. Gosh!

Now I know why some people dislike looking themselves on the mirror let alone, the TV. I probably messed up a lot and rambled who-knows-what but thankfully the reporter was friendly enough to guide us through the whole thing. Still, I think I messed up. Haha! Anyway, it was great insight to how interviews are done professionally on TV. Haha!

For some reason, I'm into chipmunked remix songs now. Haha! Some are pretty funny while some actually sound good. Haha! I laughed till my stomach ache just now when I listened to some songs I usually listen to in chipmunk. Haha! You guys should check them out on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff. Awesome! :D

Until here then. Nash out! :D

New Layout

All right! A new layout is up! For the latest, I just made it simple with only the change in the banner, which is my own.Yesterday, I went out with my friends, Lyd, Wani and Rahima from secondary school, whom I never met for quite a while, except for Indra who I have been in touch with since then (well, until now, we are in the same school. What do you expect? Haha!). Pretty cool stuff.

We met around 2pm at Plaza Singapura and had lunch at Pastamania, which recently turned halal according to Wani. The food's pretty tasty too. While we ate, as usual, we shared some laughs here and there, just like old times. I noticed all of us did not change much, except for appearance and the paths we took ever since we parted.

After that, we walked to the arcade where Rahima's younger brother who she brought along with wanted to play some games. We took a few pictures and some us of us decided to go karaoke-ing so we went to find K-Box.

Unfortunately, we were shocked by the prices they charge (like REALLY SHOCKED) and so we changed plan to watch a movie instead. We watched Slumdog Millionaire. I can see why the movie is up for many awards, due to its true portrayal of India and its people, especially slums. It's a really good insight, so I recommend you guys to watch it. Note that it is NC16 as there are pretty disturbing scenes. I shall not describe them here but you get the idea what the rating generally means.

After that, we went to the Esplanade and just chilled for a while. We chatted about the past, the present and future. At the same time, we took some pictures together and laughed again. It was fun relieving those moments once more.
Soon, it was time to head home. We boarded the same bus and once again, more pictures taken and laughter. Haha! We still like to joke around, even in the bus. Haha! To sum up, it's great seeing my old peeps again and hopefully, we get to hang out again soon. :D

To those who are still reading this ordinary blog of mine, thanks for still doing so and take care! :D

Revamp of blog soon. Bear with me. :)

Update: 75% done :)

I'm posting this song by Carrie Underwood after all the ups and downs I have been feeling this week. Now, I'm feeling slightly better. It's really beautiful. Enjoy! :D

So Small - Carrie Underwood (Click Here)


Yeah, Yeah

[Verse 1]
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
seem so small

[Verse 2]
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

[Chorus]
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Yeah, Yeah

And one more thing. I have been given a couple of disrespectful remarks this week. What's with the people man? Well one thing, a random person who I added in MSN suddenly cursed and swore at me for no reason. HUH?! I didn't even say anything to you. What is your problem? I thought since you want to add me to make friends, it's all right with me. But why are you showing me disrespect for no reason?

Another incident happened when a taxi driver showed me the middle finger when he drove past me. At that time, I was at a provision shop. I did not know about it till the kind shop lady told me. Geez man. What is the world turning into?

So from here, there are 2 things I would like to say. It's all right if you want to make friends with me, but if you just add me just to bring me down and think you are bigger than me by cursing and swearing at me, I'll just delete and block you from my list.

Second, I'm still waiting for the world to change. It's not the same as a few years ago. It used to be more kinder. What is happening people?

I'm seriously getting more and more emotionless by the day. My eyes are getting more bloody too. Eyebags? Possibly.

Anyway, attachment officially ended last Friday. It was kind of my manager and one of my seniors to treat me to lunch. I didn't really expect that since they have loads of work to do. Haha! Thanks so much for your guidance at EY. I'm honoured to be in your team.

Now, I have to complete a multimedia project related to the attachment, which my group already completed a couple of hours ago. Haha! Amazing stuff and timing. And to think we only managed to only plan the day after the attachment ended. Haha! And it's wierd hearing my own voice too during the process.

If my life goes on like this, I'm not sure where I'll end up. Sigh.

Gosh it's been a month since I last blogged. Spider webs in sight too.

Well, my life is boring as you can probably tell. Nothing much happened really. Attachment is as per normal, like a routine. Well, it is a routine. Let's see.

Wake up.
Stretch.
Brush teeth.
Shower.
Dress up.
Have breakfast.
Plug in earphones.
Walk to the train station.
Listen to the radio or your own music/Take a doze for a moment.
Walk to the workplace.
Greet and smile to your co-workers.
Drink Milo.
Read the Today newspaper you picked up on the way.
Glance at watch.
Ask for work.
Day passes by.
Ask for any work before leaving for the day.
Heads back to train station.
Plug in earphones.
Listen to the radio or your own music/Take a doze for a moment.
Walk back home.
Do your best to enjoy the rest of the day before tomorrow comes again.

I'm sure you are having a pretty much better life than me. I don't really blame anyone for this. Maybe it's me. Ya you feel sick having to hear "Maybe it's me". I don't blame you for that too. But that's just how I feel every day. Me. Everything leads up to me. Me. Sometimes, I just feel like running away from all of this and just take a moment. A minute. A second. To have some serenity in me. Other people have their own lives to lead, so I shall not disturb them.

I have nothing else to say. To sum it all, my life=probably something you do not want to be in. Bye.

Hey people. Or myself.

I'll just review a movie I just watched recently. It's Transporter 3. Amazingly, it has attracted many viewers at the cinema alone on opening day, which amazed me. I'm guessing the movie must be dang awesome. And it is!

Jason Statham is now officially one of my favourite actors. Haha! He really gets into the role of Frank Martin, who has this cool yet threatening demanour about him whenever you are near him. One thing's for sure. Don't mess with him, especially with his suit and car. He'll be mad, that's for sure. Like REAL mad. Haha! Love his fighting moves too. Great chereography! :D

Time has flew by and there's only one month left before my internship ends! Awesome! Haha! I'll be jumping for joy in the last day. Haha! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps!

I know it's been a while since I last blogged. Well, work calls. Haha! Anyway, I'll just share what I think of 2 movies which I had watched at the cinema recently.

First, it's Yes Man. Gosh this movie is really hilarious! I enjoyed every moment from the start till the end. Jim Carrey really lives up to the name of comedy based on this movie. Once again, like all the other funny movies he did, he sure did not fail to tickle every funny bone of everyone watching it in the cinema. If you want to lighten yourself up after a hard day or simply want to laugh, this movie is for you. It's great for a bunch of friends or family to watch!

Next is Twilight. All right, no offence but I don't see why everyone loves this movie so much, especially girls. This might sound biased, but from a boy's perspective, it's kind of cheezy (looks around for any girl in case I'm chased to be thrown rotten tomatoes at this point). I know, it's teenage romance. Maybe that's why girls like it. As for me, I just went with the flow when I watched it. If you like teenage romance and Edward Cullen, this is for you, I guess.

Gosh how time flies! It's already nearing the end of 2008! And it's officially one month and one week more to go for my attachment! Haha! Yay! The final report is due soon, but I have done most of it except for some parts and just needs some editing. There's also the group multimedia project. Hopefully, we'll able to get that done too asap.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps, if you are reading this. If not, then hello to myself.

During the weekends, my family decided to hung out and catch a movie called The Day The Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. It's a cool movie I must admit, although I have to agreed with the movie critics that the storyline is kind of "simple" with the way they ended the movie. I was expecting more from the outcome of the movie but the special effects and Reeves's emotionless character and personality made up for it. Still, I think there is improvement to end the story. If you just want to relax and just want to go with the flow, this movie is the one you might want to consider watching.

I'm not afraid to admit that I have been emotional these past few days. Somehow, in some occasions, I just could not hold it back and I would just cry. Yes, you heard me right. With tears and sadness. I would not say why here since this is public but generally, it's because of the ups and downs of life and I guess, me. Myself. So now, I'm officially emotionally weak.

The end of 2008 is approaching and so does the new year of 2009. Seriously, I'm not looking forward to the coming couple of years ahead. I just feel it would make me feel more depressed deep inside and creates a wormhole of darkness in me. Well, that's me.

My apologies if I ramble too much about myself. It's a bit selfish, I know. I'm sorry. You can ignore this post now if it still does not make sense to you after reading this last sentence. Thank you.

Probably there are already spiderwebs around this blog but oh well.

Although many people might be looking forward to next year, I certainly don't. Why? The acronym, NS. Ugh. I only have a limited time to enjoy my freedom and teenage years before all hell break loose. However, I don't care. Abuse me all you want in there. They probably think they are better in rank than we are, but really I don't care. As far as I know, 2 years of depression and suffering would engulf me during that period. Psh. Whatever.

Anyway, let's divert to something else. I'm halfway through my attachment period, which I guess it's a good thing. Approximately 2 months and 1 week more to go. And I have not started on my final report yet. Haha! Nice.

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Ok. It's getting quite late now so I better hurry or else I'll be late for work tomorrow. Haha!

I finally got David Archuleta's debut album today! Yeah! I was on cloud nine when I saw the album on the CD shelves under "New Releases". Also, somewhat I felt nervous when I entered the CD shop. Haha! It's also the same feeling on the day the results of American Idol this year was going to be announced. Wierd huh?

Anyway, tomorrow would be another awesome day (later I guess) as I'll be getting the deluxe version on iTunes. Woo Hoo! Another 4 additional songs, which are bonus tracks to be heard! Can't wait!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

200th post already? Wow.

Anyway, today's post is all about randomness. Can you believe I actually thought today was Sunday when I woke up? Gosh! I remembered dreaming about something that triggered that thought but the moment I opened my eyes, it disappeared and so I could not recall. Sigh. It must probably because of the Looking-Forward-To-The-Weekends Syndrome ever since I started my internship almost 3 months ago. I'm halfway there! Hopefully all ends well.

Also, during lunchtime, I have been doodling on my drinking paper cups. Haha! I'll post pictures soon. I think I'll have some work to keep me busy this week. Till the weekends I go! And next Monday! :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps!

Nothing much to blog today. Just a normal, typical day. I wanted to sleep more in the morning but I was forced to wake up to have breakfast at McDonalds. It was not all that bad although I can get pretty cranky if I don't have enough sleep.

After that, my friend, Indra and I went to campus to paste several posters promoting the gifting campaign for David's album. Hopefully the students would notice. Haha!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

*Negative aura. I'm just expressing my feelings here. No offence to anyone out there. It's just me. So if you don't want to read this after reading these few lines, itz alrite.

I have been thinking a lot lately. About my life. My future. My emotions. My moods. My thoughts. Family. Friends. Career. It's all been crazy. It's hard to sort all these things out. I'm not sure why. It has been really frustrating. It's been nuts. Shall I explain? Let me try..

Life. Pretty mundane. It's like a routine. There's only be some occasions of happiness but it'll disappear as fast as it came.

Future. Uncertain.

Emotions. Moods. Thoughts. It's been one heck of a ride. Sometimes, I'm not sure why I'm feeling what I'm feeling at times. There'll be sudden mood changes, which can be pretty drastic. It's a whirl. Thoughts linger in my mind a lot too. Good and bad.

Family. They are always there for me. I pray we will be happy forever.

*Friends. I'm not sure who I am to them. I feel as if I'm being treated like a spare tyre and they'll only come to me when they don't have anyone else to hang out with. I know they have their own lives to lead to. From their group of friends to the start of their love life. I don't blame them really. Maybe the real problem lies in me. So, ok it's me.

Career. Uncertain too. From my attachment now, I'm not sure if I'm able to work every day from 9 to 5 in a routine for the rest of the life. I'll go mad if that happens.

That's it. If you read it, thanks for reading my ramblings. Bye.

I just want to say thanks to all the peeps who wished me a Happy Birthday today. Yes, I'm turning 19 today. Not much of a celebration. Haha! My family just ordered pizza and work was dull as usual. However, I felt a bit happy today since it's my special day. But just a bit.

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps!

I seem to be better now that my sore throat is almost gone now. I'm coughing a bit but I guess it'll improve in a couple of days. Anyway, what a great weekend! First I would like to thank Joel for the wonderful early birthday present he gave me last Friday! Oh my gosh! I did not expect the DVD box set of Season 1 of Ghost Whisperer to be it! I'm really happy and ecstatic! I was smiling and hopping on my sofa when I opened it! Thanks again! :D

Oh I got to listen to sneaks of songs from David's debut album! They are Touch My Hands, My Hands and now the latest, A Little Too Not Over You! Awesome! Archieness! His songs totally rock my world! I'm seriously looking forward to his album! It's going to be one dang ride! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Ugh *rubs throat*

Every swallow is a torture and painful. Why? I have a sore throat today and a fever ever since Sunday morning. I went to the doctor a while ago and was given 2 days of MC. Sigh. It's even hard to talk. Im not even doing anything right now with my mouth but I can feel the sore throat. Ugh. Hopefully it gets better.

To all my friends who are starting school today, all the best! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps!

Nothing much to blog since my life is pretty mundane. So if you guys want to leave as soon as you read this first paragraph, I don't blame you.

Work. Work has starting to catch up on me since I'm starting to get real busy in the office. Usually I would have some free time but last week passed by so quickly, with a snap of the finger just like that. What's more, for the next 2 weeks, I'll be super busy. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but I'll try and endure it.

Also, I have been thinking and spacing out a lot lately. About my life. My future. How my decisions now may have a big impact on my future. Mixed emotions. Sigh. 

October 23. November 11. And November 17. Dates that will make me the happiest boy on earth. :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

I love her version of Crush! Awesome! :D

Hey peeps!

Sigh it's Monday. Monday Blues started setting in the moment I opened my eyes from my sleep. Gosh! Well, I guess the day turned out all right. Yay? Haha!

My first pay is going to come into my bank account soon. I'm so excited. I think I'm going to buy a couple of thumbdrives to store some of my HUGE data in my laptop (which causes it to lag) and sometimes it pisses me off but I bear with it since it's my first laptop ever (I love it). Also, a treat to dinner for my family is a must and maybe an outing with some friends (wherever they may be right now). Also, I'm going to hunt for that jacket that I want so badly. Ugh! Haha!

Well, from 1 October onwards, 4 more months to go. Ugh. Haha! But it's ok. Special days are coming ahead and I can't wait. Hehe!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Finally itz the weekends again! Woohoo! Yay! Ugh tomorrow's Sunday already? What a bummer. Oh well.

Wednesday would be Hari Raya Puasa. For those non-Muslims, I can see many smiles on your faces right now since you can take a break from school or work for at least a day and what's more, it is smacked right in the middle of the week, so time files faster. Haha!

Oct 23rd..November 11..Looking forward to them..:D

Until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

Hey all!

Gosh David's album cover is out! OMG! It's freaking amazing! I just love it! I'm so grabbing the album now! Although you can get it digitally at iTunes when it comes out on November 11, it won't be the same as getting it as a hard copy and have it in your hands! What's more, there will be even cooler pictures of David inside too and the lyrics will be provided as well. What more can you ask for? Perhaps a personalised autograph from the man (or maybe boy) himself on the album you are going to get. But for this, I guess for some it's just a long life dream unless of course you can get HIM to sign it. HAHA! :D

As for today, the audit job was all right. I'm thankful my senior is kind and friendly and we can interact well together and laugh at certain matters. I'm glad we clicked. Tomorrow we would be auditing the same company again and she said we should be able to complete it by tomorrow and head back to the office by afternoon. Friday is so nearing! Can't wait!

And for some of you, you guys can't wait for next Wednesday right? Haha! :D

Well, until here then! Bye! Nash out! :D

What is there to talk about today..Hmm..

Well, I finally got out of office and went for an auditing job with my senior. It's an interesting experience. You seriously get to meet people woth different personalities. Friendly faces, grumpy faces, why-are-you-looking-at-me faces and many more. Fortunately, the people I met so far during my internship are quite friendly and easy to talk to, so it's pretty all right. Tomorrow I would have another job with another senior so hopefully everything goes well.

I'm seriously looking forward to Fridays now. And November 11. Sigh.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

All right quick post before I head to bed.

One: I'm always looking forward to Fridays and the weekends but not Mondays. Now I understand why working people have monday blues all the time. No, let me correct that. ALL OF US.

Two: I just found out David's album is going to be self-titled. Awesome! I wonder how the cover would be like. I can already imagine..

Three: Just a few more days to go to fast (past halfway) before Hari Raya Puasa. Then 4 more months more for intership. Oh..*smacks forehead*

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Hello!

Today is all about my favourite singer, David Archuleta! Haha!

Well, I just found out about 6 songs from his debut album. I'm not sure if the other 5 are confirmed but hey, no harm in being excited over them right? Haha! What's more, most of them are written by himself. Ain't that awesome? Haha! Here they are!

1. Crush (as we all know)
2. My Hands
3. Ruined Me
4. Cynic
5. Desert Sky
6. Final Step

Gosh I want that album so badly right now! Haha! The titles of the songs are so cool enough to make me want to listen to them! Haha! Love the Crush video too! The eyes..*girl faints* NURSE!!

Well, back to my mundane life.

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

This is a showcase of Archie (And some Brooke) wallpapers I made. Enjoy! :D

Sighs. And more sighs. Depression sets in. In the next 5 months. Ugh.

If there are people out there reading my blog, then hi there! If not, then I'll probably say hi to myself. Oh well. Anyway I'll just update my life a bit about what's been going on.

Ever since the examz ended 1 week ago, everything's been chilling yet rushing at the same time. It's as if I have 1 week freedom left before something bad's gonna happen or something. I tried my best to do whatever I wanted to do during that one week and I managed to accomplish most of them in my "Things To Do in 1 Week Before Job Attachment Starts" list. Also, I watched Wall-E with Indra! Haha! And I watched it again today with my family! Haha! It's a fun and hilarious movie! Itz suitable for the whole family! Gosh it's fun to watch it again twice! Haha! Oh those eyes! :D

Ugh this feeling! Tomorrow would be my first day of job attachment and I'm nervous! My hands are shaking and my heart is feeling uneasy at this moment. From what I heard from my friends, you would never expect what you have foresee. Hopefully, that's a good thing. Im already anxious about so many things! Here are some examples:

What kind of Staff they have
Whether I'll mingle well with the Staff there
What Work they would offer us to do and the level of difficulty
What kind of Environment they work in
What Stress level would I have to endure

I'll have to go 3 days of training before I start work proper. Hopefully all goes well during the 6 months.

Also, my first day of work is the first day of the fasting month. It's probably a good thing since it's a blessed month and it may help me calm my nerves a bit. To all Muslims out there, Happy Fasting!

Well, until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

Hey peeps!

Well, finally the examz are over! Woo Hoo! Yeah! *breathes a sigh of relief*

Let me tell you how I think I would fair for the examz. Screwed. Yup, you heard me. Screwed. *smacks cheeks*. I can tell you now that for one of the papers, I could not hold back my emotions and I cried, thinking I would fail after doing the paper. This never really happened to me. I guess itz probably because I fear of failing. In this semester, all I want is just to pass all my modules since it was really stressful for me. Hopefully, I'll do well or at least pass. *sigh*

Well, now I have one week of break before I'll start on my 6 month job attachment. Gosh hopefully everything would be ok. Friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere. Gosh who am I kidding? Itz located in Raffles Place! And the company is a prestigious one! *bites teeth*

Well, I feel like I'm rushing everything I wanted to do. Haha! Well, I only have one week before the hectic schedule comes in! Letz rush and panic (in a good way of course)!

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Sigh. Why do I even bother to do such things. Guess I have no answer to that. Sigh.

Crush Lyrics

I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time, deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever
Feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever do is think about you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized, and I just got to know


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away


Has it ever crossed your mind when we were hanging
Spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe we can make this into
Something that will last forever, forever


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away


Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know


Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we can be, Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Oh my gosh! This is David Archuleta's debut single "Crush"! And guess what? I LOVE IT! This is officially MY FAVOURITE SONG OF THE YEAR! It aired on the radio for the first time on 1 August 2008 with David himself and the Arch Angels and Archies tuning in to hear it for the first time too. It was an awesome and memorable experience!

However, one thing pissed me off. When I got home from school after listening to the debut single of Crush, one of my walkman phone earphones decided to die on me. Grr! I'll have to change my earphones soon. I can't stand listening with just one earphone. There'll be no bass and stereo system in my ears! I miss that feeling!

Examz coming. Job Attachment too. And I'm not ready.

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey guys!

Itz been a while since I last blogged. I was very busy with school projects and assignments. It was really tough. Thank goodness most of them were group projects so it makes the load lighter. What's more this semester is very stressing and tiring. Sigh. Pressure. Competition. Intelligence. Need I say more?

I just had my NAPHA test today. Don't even ask. It turned out really bad. But I did feel a sense of accomplishment in my 2.4 km run since I did not stop or walk and continued all the way. Haha! A bit exhausted now since it's been a long day but I'm glad it's over. I was getting irritated just thinking about it.

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Disaster lies ahead. I'll update about my life soon. :D

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Hey guys!

From the previous post, you can tell I was quite stressed at that time. Itz been really hectic. From projects to assignments to tutorials to the Common Test results. Itz been one heck of a roller coaster ride for me. Gosh! I think I'm gonna be real busy this coming days so hopefully I'll pull through.

Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D

I dunno if I'm a somebody in somebody's life..
I feel like a nobody now..
Sorry for me being negative,,
But that's just how I feel right now..
Music, enlighten me now..

AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Hey guys! School's finally resuming tomorrow. How time flies! And my 2 weeks break were not really breaks since I was bombarded with lots of projects to complete. Oh well.

I accompanied my friend Indra to go shopping at Takashimaya at Ngee Ann City at Orchard Road yesterday. I'm so happy to see him getting his own smart shoes and new clothes too. As you may notice (or not), I'm finding this one certain jacket which I like a lot. I spotted a few yesterday but the prices were way off my budget. Haha! Oh well. There's still a lot time for me to look for it. If I can get that jacket, I'll be the happiest boy in the world. Oh and I want to watch Wall-E! Gosh it's darn cute! Look at the eyes! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to do certain things..

Alrite I'm feeling cranky rite now..
I dunno y..
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I guess..
So ya..

Hey guys!

Before this blog starts to collect dust, let me just update a little on what's been happening in my life.

So far, life has been like a routine for me. What's more, I could only enjoy 2 to 3 days of school break and it's back to doing the tons of projects piled up for me. Gosh! Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

Oh let me share some wierd dreams I had these past few days.

Wierd Dreams
The first one is when I dreamt that I took my examination in a canteen. It was all pitch dark and only the row where I was sitting was lit up. For some reason. I decided to shift to a desk which is in the dark. After that, a random friend just walked by and I asked him "Could you turn the lights on for me" and he obliged and turned on the lights. Then, I woke up.

The next one is when I dreamt about the 2 Davids from American Idol. I was backstage, probably in a room and there's a gate at the corner of the room. The 2 Davids were chatting with each other. I was watching them when suddenly some yellow chicks (chicks meaning the young of the chicken, not the other chick. Haha!) just came running from the gate into the room.

The 2 Davids were caught by surprise and were giggling away trying to chase the chicks away. Suddenly, I fell down and felt somebody sitting on me. I could almost feel my spine breaking but I could not tell who it was as I didn't turn my head around. Then, I woke up. And guess what? It was 4am in the morning when I looked at the clock.

Also, I just made this up when thinking of my obssession for music since I listen to it most of the time.
M.O.D - Music Addiction Disorder. Haha!

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

New blogskin! And I'm happy! :D

Hey guyz!

Nothing much to blog about. I'll just say that I have been slacking, relaxing, photoshop-ing, surfing the net and listening to music a lot (while watching tv to going to sleep). Tons of projects have to be done too. Hopefully all goes well.

Also, gonna change my blogskin. Soon. :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Sometimes I wonder..
Like now..
Why I do certain things..
I'm not sure..
If this makes me happy..
Or am I just pretending..
To be happy..
Or just pleasing other people..
To make me feel at ease..
Or in the end..
Just to be ignored..
As if I never existed..

Happy World Environment Day!

Hey guyz!

Finally the Common Test is over! Yay! A-ha! A-ha! Freedom! There's so many things I wanna do during the break. Haha! Well, I can only enjoy the break for a few days as there are tons of projects to complete before school reopens again. *sigh*

Anyway here's how I think I faired for the Common Test:

Management Accounting 2: screwed
Advanced Financial Accounting: screwed
Company Law: Managable
Taxation 2: Between screwed and managable
Auditing 2: Managable

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

One word to describe how I did for Common Test so far : screwed

Itz gonna be one hectic week so I may not blog for quite a while since my Common Test is near. All the best to those who r taking the Common Test too!

Until here! Byez! Nash out! :D

Let me just say CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVID COOK FOR BEING THE AMERICAN IDOL!

I must say, it was a really intense fight between the 2 Davids. Both Big David and Little David have shown their capabilities in their genre of music and have proven themselves why they were standing at the final stage of the competition. You can't really compare both of them as they are both unique in their own ways. David Cook is an amazing rock singer whereas David Archuleta is more towards pop, R&B and ballad. In my opinion, this season is the best of the best and would be an unforgettable one as the talent showcased is simply diversed and amazing.

David Archuleta! I'm so happy that you have shared your love for music to the world and for one thing, I'm feeling your love! You guyz might not believe it, but my heart was still pounding the whole day when I got the results! Now I'm feeling alrite and I'm being positive! It's alrite if you are the runner-up! I'm still your loyal, true fan! I wish you all the best in your singing career and I'm really looking forward to your debut album! I'll be sure to buy it! You can bet on it! One more thing. Get some sleep, David! You too, David! Haha! Have a well-deserved rest! :D

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

DAVID ARCHULETA FOR THE WIN! GO ARCHIE!

Lyrics of "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg, sung by David Archuleta. I love it! :D

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

I'll bring fires in the winters
Youll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you..

Woo hoo! Long weekend! Yeah! Looking forward to a hopefully positive week next week. :)

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

First of all, let me just say CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH DAVIDS FOR MAKING IT TO THE FINAL 2!

American Idol would end next week with either David Archuleta or David Cook bringing home the title of the 7th American Idol. Of course, from my blog, you guys should know who I'm rooting for to win the title. Haha! Even so, both Davids are awesome in their own way! :D

I can't wait for next week. Hopefully, next week would be a good week with of course the American Idol Finale and other positive stuff since these past few weeks, I felt really depressed and down. Why? Tough modules, fierce competition, intelligence, headache. That basically summarises it. *sigh*

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hello!

Alrite so here we go. I'll break my long chain of thoughts bit by bit so it won't be so cramped in one entry. Though I don't know if anybody reads my blog and feel as if I'm babbling to myself or something. Oh well. Moving on..

Alrite this might sound random but rainy days just makes me happy. I don't why. It's kind of wierd since this weather will make anyone feel naturally gloomy throughout the day but not me. Whenever dark clouds gather in the sky, I'll smile and say to myself, "It will be good today". So I guess it starts my day off pretty well and I'll be more content if it rains the whole day. I'll be totally happy and smiling from ear to ear. :)

Also, what I like about rainy days is I get to wear jackets. I just love wearing jackets. But it seems kind of impossible especially here at my place where it's always sunny all year around and it rains occasionally. Rainy days are great since you get to see rain falling from the sky and being cosy in your warm jacket when you walk outside with your umbrella, even so with your music in your ears. Gosh, what a feeling! :D

Congratulations David Archuleta for making it to the Top 3! You have my full support all the way! Soar to your best! :D

Alrite I shall stop here for now. You might get bored after reading this so I don't blame ya. It's just me expressing what I feel in my heart. :)

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out!

There's so many things I wanna blog about but I just don't seem to have the time. Itz kinda late now and I have school tomorrow. I'll try by best to squeeze some time to blog.

*Locks thoughts in brain*

Until here then. For now. Nash out! :D

there's just not enough time to do everything you want to do..

Hey guyz!

School's been hectic. It's been really stressful and been driving me bonkers. And it's only been a few weeks since school started. Goodness. Hopefully, the coming weeks would be better.

Oh, I found something interesting yesterday. My previous tutor from my previous semester told me I have a cool demeanour. Haha! I didn't know her perception of me was like that. That improved my day yesterday. :)

David Archuleta sang "America" and "Sweet Caroline" this week as it was Neil Diamond week. However, he only recorded the studio version of "Sweet Caroline". Funky! Here are the lyrics:

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

Ahh! Brooke White is out! I can't believe this! I love her and David! *sigh*

Anyway, I just want to wish Brooke all the best in everything she does in the future and I believe she'll be successful in her singing career. I'll be sure to grab her album if she makes it in the future. Cheers! :D

Well, until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Music has been my companion for the past week. That's all I have to say.

Hey guyz!

What a week it is! How time flies! It's already Friday! Yeah! Weekends are almost here! This week have been hectic now that I have normal lectures and tutorials. Oh well. Let's hope I'll sail through the semester with no problems whatsoever.

Oh and a shout-out to:

Noor Indra!

Happy Birthday in advance! May all your wishes and dreams come true! Stay happy and cheerful always! Semoga Allah sentiasa melindungimu. Amin. :)

I love this week's American Idol! David Archuleta once again never cease to amaze me each week. He sang "Think of Me" written by Andrew Llyod Webber. It's suppossedly written for a lady to sing but David really put his on vibe into it with his arrangement. It's very beautiful and relaxing. Congratulations David on making it to the Top 5! Here are the lyrics:

Think of me

think of me fondly,

when we've said goodbye.

Remember me

once in a while -

please promise me

you'll try.

When you find

that, once

again, you long

to take your heart back

and be free -

if you

ever find

a moment,

spare a thought

for me

We never said

our love

was evergreen,

or as unchanging

as the sea -but if

you can still

remember

stop and think

of me . . .

Think of all the things

we've shared and seen -don't think about the things

which might have been . . .

Think of me,

think of me waking,

silent and

resigned.

Imagine me,

trying too hard

to put you

from my mind.

Recall those days

look back

on all those times,

think of the things

we'll never do -there will

never be

a day, when

I won't think

of you . .

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hectic. Rushing. Depressing. Do you describe school this way when it's only the second week? *sigh*

I'm in a whirl right now. Focus man, FOCUS! *slaps self*

Hey guyz!

Let me juz update on whatz been happening in my life. Alrite, this week have been hectic for me. I know school juz started and itz only lectures this week. But, ever since I've started doing graphics using Photoshop, many people have been requesting my designs. I'm so honoured to have my designs requested by them. Tanx guyz! Oh btw, the graphics are graphics of David Archuleta, the next American Idol! Haha!

Alrite, this week was Mariah Carey week and David sang "When You Believe" from the animated movie "The Prince of Egypt". Itz truly beautiful and touching. Really. The tingly feeling I get when listening to this song is even stronger than when I listen to his other songs. Awesome! Here are the lyrics:

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

David Archuleta's Angels. Touching and heart-warming. Tingly feeling again! Here are the lyrics:

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When were grey and oldc
os I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when Im lying in my bedT
houghts running through my head
And I feel the love is deadI
m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead

When Im feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know Ill always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
Im loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey guyz! I'm not sure if anyone even visits this blog of mine. Oh well. This blog is a place where I can express myself freely so I'm glad I'm just doing this to pour out whatever I'm feeling. :)

These past few days, I have been tearing up. I do not know why. The first time I teared up was when I was listening to Katherine McPhee's "Over It". Suddenly, out of the blue, I started to feel my eyes become watery. Another time was after I wake up one morning and I felt a teardrop down my cheek. Maybe I'm just being emotional these past few days. It's alright I guess. People do tear up once in a while. After a while, it gets better. :)

School's starting in a few days. Gosh how time flies. It's like *poof* school's reopening soon. Hopefully the new semester sails through smoothly, especially when most of my classmates are still on attachment. :)

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D

Hey guyz! Just wanted to share yet another great performance from David Archuleta! Congratulations David for making it to the Top 8! Keep soaring higher and be your best!

Here are the lyrics to Smoky Mountain Memories from Dolly Parton:

You ought to go north somebody told us
Cause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now I don't recall who said it
But we'd lived so long on credit
And so we headed out to find our promised land

Just poor Smoky Mountains farm folk
With nothing more than high hopes
So we hitched our station wagon to a star
But our dreams all fell in on us
Cause there was no land of promise
Though it's a stuggle just keepin' sight of who you are

Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern heart is weary
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I know that they all love me
And they're all thinking of me
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

You know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately
About what's been and what awaits me
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give in to it
Life's a mill and I've been through it
I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands

Oh and these northern nights they're dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
As I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
He'll love and guide and lead us
The Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

If I'll keep looking to the father
Keep our heads above the water
While the Smoky Mountains memories keep me strong

School opens in a week. Hope the new semester would be a smooth-sailing one. :)

Until here then. Byez! Nash out! :D
