Not much going on except that I finally got my Walkman Wearable and new Sony Ericsson phone thanks to my mom. Hehe! I love them! Thanks Mom! You are the best. The phone was not exactly the phone I wished for since it's still new and costly but hey, it's still a Sony Ericsson phone! Haha! Sony Ericsson rocks!
I also found out that David's Christmas album would be released October 13th! OH MY HECK! I can't wait!
I have a couple of lunch and dinner dates this week with some peeps. That should be interesting. LOL. Also, Ramadhan is coming so I would like to wish all Muslims out there, Happy Fasting! :D
First of all, let me just wish all Singaporeans out there a Happy 44th National Day! Gosh how time flies and look at the progress the country has made. Awesome stuff. As usual, as a yearly practice, my family ordered KFC and Canadian Pizza. Now, I'm so dang full. Ugh. Oh well. Haha!
I watched Up this morning and boy, it was worth waking up so early just to catch the first slot of the movie. Haha! It was emotional in the beginning with Carl and his wife, Ellie spending their life together until Ellie passed away. Then, off he goes for an unexpected adventure with Russell, a wildlife explorer and an unexpected companion. LOL. It is a heartwarming story for the whole family to watch. I love the colourful bird, Kevin (unexpectedly a female bird) and Doug, the talking dog. Squirrel. .. Hi there! Haha!
Addicted song: A Dream Is A Wish A Heart Makes - Disney Channel Stars
Awesome song. Being grooving to it since yesterday. Haha! Check it out! I love the music video for it too. Disney rocks! Pixar rocks! Woot! :D
It's been a while since I last updated. -clears webs on blog- Ack! Tsk tsk how dusty. Haha! Anyway I'll try to remember what I have down for the past few days. I apologize if these events are considered "old". Haha!
First off, 2 Saturdays ago, some Singapore peeps and I went to Cathay Cineleisure to watch the David Archuleta Manila Concert on DVD which one Hong Kong Archie kindly burnt for me. We were all stoked and pumped when we ate lunch first at Burger King. Oh one thing about Burger King is only eat there when you are REALLY hungry coz one set can make you full. Why do you think they call it the King of Burgers? LOL.
Anyway, after that, we rented a room and played the DVD. Soon, everyone's wild sides were unleashed with everyone singing, dancing and even jumping along to the concert. And this happened in a small room with a table and computers. So basically there was not much space to jump but they still did anyway. Haha! I'm just happy to see them happy and enjoying themselves although I did not jump with them. Hope you guys had a great time! I know I did.
Then, the next day, my family and I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at cinema. Talk about wicked! Those who read the book might appreciate and have positive reviews regarding the movie. Those who did not might have otherwise. Overall, I think it's an awesome movie! Gosh you can see how Harry, Hermione and Ron grew and mature from the first movie till now and the emotions that are playing in their hearts now that love is in the air. Also, I love the Harry/Hermione scenes. Beautiful I must say. Oops getting mushy.
Overall, a great movie for Harry Potter fans and I can't wait for the 2-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie coming November 2010 and summer 2011. Dark times. There will be light at the end. Haha. All right, moving on. LOL.
Also, I'm currently working on a David Archuleta Calendar for 2010 so you guys can check out Zaren's Workz to view them (link on the right). I cannot believe how fast I'm doing this. I'm WAY ahead of schedule. LOL.
As for music, sophomore albums for Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" album and Demi Lovato's "Here We Go Again" are out! Be sure to check them out. Awesome songs in them. I love them. Haha! Favourites for "Battlefield" are Don't Let It Go To Your Head and Let It Rain and "Here We Go Again" are Got Dynamite, Catch Me and Remember December. :D
Figured I blog since there was a couple of stuff that happened this weekend. All right here we go.
So today, my family decided to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's actually a pretty awesome movie! What's more, there were wacky scenes in it too so there was a mix of everything. Of course, the main eye-catcher was the robots with their transformations and fights. Combined that with an awesome stereo surround system and BAM! Kudos the producers and the cast of the movie. It must have taken them a lot of hard work just doing the scenes and adding it in the special effects. Well done! :D
Yesterday, I went out with some of the Archie peeps (we call ourselves J.E.I.M.Z) just to hang out and stuff. We went to all sorts of places and had a good time. We also goofed with each other and snap a lot of pictures. Here are some: There was this huge poster along the underground CityLink Mall for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie so we decided to snap pictures of it. Mind you, there were a lot of people walking along here and it took us a while before we could get clear shots. Haha!
So first we went to Taka as my friend Mai, wanted to buy a plushie. Then we walked around, travelled by train, walked and travelled by train from Orchard to Marina Square to Esplanade. I wanted to buy a plaid shirt but every shirt we found was costly. Gosh! And they were nice colours and designs too! Pity. Oh well. Maybe next time.
Then, when we arrived at the Esplanade only to find that there was a rehearsal of the National Day Parade there. Awesome! So we witnessed helicopters and jet airplanes flying across our heads to fireworks in the end! It was amazing. Even if I do not get to see the National Day Parade live next month, at least I experienced a bit of it. Haha!
In the end, my legs were aching and we were dead tired because of all the walking. I had fun with them though! Haha!
So that's about it. Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D
I just want to share some results from the quizzes I took at Facebook. Mind you, they mostly are true. Weird. Here they are:
Who Is Your Soulmate?
Belongs With Someone With Rhythm.
Your future lover should be someone with talent. Someone who can juggle your busy schedule and make it work. You guys have something extremely important in your life in common.
What's Your Personality Type?
Type B.
Although you are assertive and a natural born leader, you don't mind being led. No doubt, you may procrastinate at times, you really are a hardworker. However, you know when to cool down and have fun. You make sure you incorporate rest into your day and often feel agitated without a good dose of alone time.
What's Your Hidden Talent?
Music.
You hear passion all around you, you can't help but stop study or work to hear people walking past. You seek perfection in the collection of sounds. If you not a musician already, you should look it up.
Oh I got Ashley's Tisdale Guilty Pleasure album! It's way better and awesome than her debut one! Rock on Ashley! This album is produced by the best songwriters in the industry and Ashley has put her personal touch on some songs too which is pretty cool. Ashley fans, you will be thrilled and won't get disappointed! Crank up the tunes! :D
I'm having a slight headache now so I'll try to keep this short.
So, as you can tell from the title, I had a busy weekend. Last Friday night, I had dinner with some Singapore Archies and a Hong Kong Archie who came down to Singapore for a holiday. It's nice to see her eye to eye since we have been chatting online for quite a while. We laughed and spazzed as usual about who else as the rest share their experiences in Manila where both Davids performed previously. It's awesome just listening to their stories.
I also like to thank the HK Archie for getting us gifts from HK. They are cool! Thank you so much! :D
The next morning, I went down to Bugis to meet the DA.sg peeps to help them with the LTAC project we are doing for a charitable cause. I had fun hanging out with them. Thanks for the laughs guys! You guys are hilarious!
Today, I attended a friend's wedding. How bizzarre is that? She's around the same age as me and yet she's already married. Most of us at this age are taking the next stepping stones in our lives trying to achieve our goals and dreams. Well, congratulations to her! May she have a happy and everlasting marriage. Cheers!
And to end off, Happy Birthday in advance to Wani! Hope you like the present. It's nothing much, but hopefully it's enough to put a smile on your face on your very special day. :D
There are a couple of things I'm doing this week as well so I'll blog about them after they happen. Haha!
Let me just give a quick update on what has been going on in my life.
Last Saturday, my dad decided to take the whole family to watch Terminator Salvation since it's a lazy Saturday. Well, it's not my kind of genre, but it's better than being a couch potato at home with such boring programmes on TV.
Well, if you are a fan of the Terminator series, you would like this with explosions, guns and whole lot of hardcore dirt (literally). Well, what do you expect? The machines and humans are going on war! Haha! Kudos to the sound system which made me jerk in my seat a few times with its loud bass sounds and surprising thumps. Overall, it's a good movie with cool special effects and aggressive main actor, Christian Bale.
And besides salvaging Terminator, can we please salvage the Earth too? Please? It's getting warmer every day. Goodness. Save Gaia!
Just wanna add some more stuff for the good things I'm looking forward to in the future:
Brooke White's debut album
Michael Johns' debut album
Jennette McCurdy's debut album
Ice Age 3 Movie
David Archuleta's Fun Pack on iTunes (June 9th) - Can't wait!
I just realized that I would need a large capacity MP3 player to fit all my updated songs in since my Walkman phone can only fit a certain amount. Gosh. LOL. Maybe not. Well, it depends. HAHA!
Today I watched Night At The Museum 2 and boy, it was worth it! Ben Stiller is one of my favourite comedy actors and he really played his role well. The movie makes you laugh from the start to the end and there are unexpected characters in the movie too. I'm not going to tell you who they are but I guarantee you would be surprised, especially one of them which got the whole audience in the cinema laughing.
What's more, the hilarious dialogues and scenes would prevent you from diverting youe attention from it even for one second. It's a fun movie for the whole family to watch and for those who just wants a good laugh.Also, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to KRIS ALLEN, winner of AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8! He deserves it for all the hard work and being true to himself throughout the competition, giving us unique and awesome performances too. Adam is a great contender too. I wish both of them the best in their music careers. :D
I can't believe that I'm expecting a long of good things to come in the future. Here is what I can think of right now:
David Archuleta's 2nd album
Kris Allen's debut album
Jojo's new album
Jordin Sparks' new album
Ashley Tisdale's new album
Disney Pixar's "Up" movie
Transformers, Rise of the Fallen movie
Blood movie
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie
Band Slam movie
Until here then. Bye. Nash out!
Get your armour. I'm battling against my uncertain emotions.
As I have said in my previous post, I'll talk about these 2 things so here we go.
Yesterday, my mother received a flower and a box of chocolates from a maid which she befriended at her workplace. Although she's just a maid, I felt it was really sweet and thoughtful of her to give something to her for Mother's Day although I know a maid does not earn much. Yet, with a pleasant camaraderie between her and the maid, it's like they have been friends for a very long time.
This just goes to show that even though a box of chocolates may not be worth much to one person, to another, the sentimental value is huge and it depends on which perspective you choose to see. So, before you judge someone or something, think about how you want to perceive it coz it affects you and the person affected as well.
Another thing. Proper behaviour. Man. What's with men nowadays? It's freaky what goes behind closed doors in public toilets of gents. Trust me. You would not want to know. Seriously, men can improve themselves if only they see how they are caring about their personal hygiene. The freakish sounds they make when they do their business behind the cubicles. It is seriously disturbing. UGH!
Just one thing I have to say on this one. I have nothing to say. Guess how the world works huh?
Many things have happened so I thought I share them here. So here we go.
Last Thurday, I decided to visit Iluma since I did not get a chance to walk around ever since the day David Archuleta performed there (such sweet and wonderful memories). As I walked in, it felt somewhat empty. Haha! It's just a random feeling since I could not believe that the mall was actually packed on that day on all floors of the mall just to catch a glimpse of him.
Anyway, once I stepped in, I could already feel the cold air brushing my skin. It was an awesome feeling although it was strong since I was walking under the scorching sun outside. Nevertheless, I just enjoyed the cool atmosphere as I rode on the escalator and explored the mall.
Some shops were open while there were still some renovations going on in some parts. I was awed by the huge space of the mall. No kidding. It's BIG. There's a new movie ciniplex and I took pictures of the stands they had outside. Pretty cool stuff.
After that, I met the DA.sg peeps who are involved in the Let's Talk About Charity (LTAC) project and helped them gave out flyers for the project. It felt awkward at first but we all tried our best. For one thing, I'm not good at this kind of stuff. Haha! We had so much fun together so thank you guys! Hopefully we can do that again soon!
So on Friday, I realized I still had some flyers to give away. So, after my Friday prayers, I went to the library and gave them out to some secondary school peeps. Here is one such reaction.
Me: Hey there! Support charity. The info is all inside there in the flyer. -gives flyer- Thanks! Girl: Oh ok. -I walk away-
After a few seconds.. Girl: AH! DAVID ARCHULETA!
Haha! I think they did expect David to appear in there. Haha! More information on this project can be found at www.davidarchuleta.sg so check it out and support! :D
Today is Mother's Day eve so my sister and I decided to venture to Jurong Point to find a gift for our mom. It was hard to decide since there were not many gifts which were really practical yet sentimental. However, after much survey, we finally bought her a small, black pillow with a special message and cute bear on it. Haha! She loved it so I'm happy for that, just seeing her smile. She has faced a lot of problems in her life but still continues to live life as per normal. Thus I feel glad to see her persevere till the end. I love you, Mom.
It's kind of a long post so I'll stop for now. I'll ramble more on sentimental value and people's behaviours when I blog again. So at this point, I just want to wish everyone,
I randomly looked through a magazine and saw the description on my horoscope.
Libra
It's time to say goodbye to a number of people and places that no longer have any meaningful role in your life. You're an independent soul by nature, so you should be quite happy to set out on a new adventure, taking life as you find it.
Hmm. In a way, it's true. No wonder I have been having these weird feelings these past few days. What's more, one time, I just lied on my bed and faced the wall at night with no emotion or thought. Just staring blankly at the wall.
It's a fine and relaxing Saturday afternoon now so I thought I share a weird dream I had last night. Haha!
Alright, first up. This one was about Twitter. In the dream, I was on my computer just twitting, and I guessed I tried my luck at twitting David, hoping that he would reply at least once. Knowing that it would never happen for a long time, I merely just switched off my computer and went to sleep. Out of a sudden, my cell phone just kept beeping me coz why? David was replying to my tweets. Haha! And we kept twitting each till I woke up. Pretty random, but still cool. Haha! Maybe it's because I have been twittering these past few days and it has gotten to my head somehow. Haha!
Oh I just remembered another one. It's one where I jumped down a flight of staircases while levitating in the air as I slowly flew down and landed down softly. Truly a great feeling at that time. Haha!
American Idol is heating up and it's down to the Final 4! My vote? KRIS ALLEN! Haha! Go Kris! :D
Anyway, I have nothing much to say so I'll stop here for now. Until here then. Bye! Nash out! :D
I'll just make a quick update on what's been happening in my oh-so-boring life.
I sketched the picture above since it looks cool. Haha! I think I need more practice on sketching lips though, but overall, it looks good to me. Haha! I'm going to try to sketch more since I have not done it for a while. I still love it. It's one of my hobbies. Ok I'm rambling. Never mind. Moving on.
I got a letter I was hoping would not come and got to know that I'm going to NS around September in Police. That means, I have around 4 more months of freedom to enjoy and to keep fit too. I'm not sure what to expect but I know it's going to be hell in there. Hopefully I can cope with lots of prayers and having faith that I can get through this phase of my life for the next 2 years or so.
So ya. That's about it. I guess I'm looking forward to the latest movie of Harry Potter coming out in July. That would be so exciting! I'm stoked just watching the trailer alone. Haha!
So, today my family decided to go out and watch the movie, Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage since the trailer looked pretty interesting and all. It all started well, with the audience already intrigued and causing the audience to grip on their seats almost immediately because of the mystery and suspense.
The story starts with this girl called Lucinda who kept hearing whispers by an unknown source. Actually, the whole class was supposed to draw their vision for the future and place them in a time capsule which would be opened 50 years later. However, she just wrote numbers on her paper and 50 years later, it got into the hands of Nicolas' son. Feeling curious, Nicolas decided to randomly pick a set of numbers and see what it meant. Finding out that the numbers were linked to a big disaster in a particular year, he tried to find a pattern and true enough he did. There were only 3 more disasters which have yet to occur, and he tried his best to stop them.
However, HOWEVER, the ending of the story spoiled the whole thing. Want to know what? Well, you have to watch it. Haha! The ending is totally unexpected. WHAT THE FISH MAN. Anyway, I just give it 3.5 out of 5 stars, since the special effects are awesome. Haha!
I planned to watch this when it came out in cinemas last time but I did not manage to catch it. So, when it was aired on TV just now, I felt happy. Haha! Anyway, I totally love the movie and how the whole cast is being put together with Academy-Award winner, Meryl Streep and the sweet Anne Hathaway as the lead roles. It's a fun movie where you get to see how the fashion business is like and the different lifestyles people working in this line are leading.
Also, it shows you how to deal with difficult people, in this case, the Devil herself played by Meryl and learning how to balance your life well socially. Overall, I love it. Haha!
So there. Haha! By the way, Graduation Day for me is May 12th, a Tuesday. Gosh! It has been three years already in poly? Man. Haha!
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
