Hello Humans.

its been an AWFUL long time since i have last updated my blog. Its honestly, really dead right now. But its alright... Let's do a short update. School has started. Like i lead this really fantastic life of waking up early in the morning to go to school and listen to my capable lecturers lecture us for 2 hours per session. Oh, did i mention that there already are tutorials and projects? Yeah, i love this life i'm living right now! IT BEATS EVERYTHING BECAUSE ITS SO FUN RIGHT?! :D

okay, if you ever believe that, you should just fuck off and die luh, really. lol. Now, let me get back to my obsessions of my favourite singers... like RIGHT NOW!

Beyonce is releasing 2 interesting albums. The first? The one below.

This album is a live album of her performance of the "I Am... Tour" at Wynn Las Vegas. Also titled as "I Am... Yours", it is an up-close and personal performance with only 1,500 people having been part of the audience. In addition, she sang many of her songs acoustically. I think the cover is spectacular!

I haven't got the album yet, but i will the next time i happen to chance upon a GOOD CD SHOP! :D

Yes, the second is her re-release of her "I Am... Sasha Fierce" album, also now known as the "I Am... Sasha Fierce Deluxe Edition". You might recall the picture above in black & white. That was the International Platinum Album. But this features another song titled "Poison", SO PLEASE DO GET IT! :D i definitely will!

OKAY, enough about Beyonce. Lets start on Leona Lewis! :D She has been doing a few more performances of her single "Happy" that isn't actually doing that very well on the charts yet... So anyways, here is a live performance which is ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS! :D

Okay! Hope you enjoyed that.

I will not touch much on the topic of Ris Low and any of her terminology like her infamous "boomz" and now surfacing "shingz".. Because i honestly think she's such a disgrace to Singapore and Singaporeans. BUT I HONESTLY think there is a large percentage of Singaporeans who speak like she does anyway. Not forgetting that percentage, and another few more who carry themselves as falsely-poised as she does. YOU DON'T NEED TO ENUNCIATE SO DISGUSTINGLY, PELASE.... SO I BEG YOU, don't judge her if you happen to be (in any way of speech or poise) like her. Its a classic case of a pot calling a kettle black.

Don't know what that means? GOOGLE IT, and learn.

If you haven't heard, Rihanna has released a new single for almost more than a week. So please do youtube it if you haven't heard it! Her single "Russian Roulette", which is off her forthcoming album "Rated R" (out on November 23rd), is a down-tempo song which hides a powerful story to which DOES NOT IN ANY WAY ENCOURAGE YOUTHS TO COMMIT SUICIDE WHAT-SO-EVER! ~~STUPID TIFFANY EVANS! ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB?!~~ so, yeah. Its basically about a game of chance, which she took, and now its her turn to "pull the trigger".

If you wana know more, do find out how Russian Roulette is played. Wait, you guys know what Russian Roulette is right? Remember LADY GAGA mentioning it in her song POKER FACE????

I think thats the end of my update, i'm gonna go mess my life up some more.

Hello Sexy Beings.

The time has come again, for me to update this space. I really don't know why i still blog actually. i'm not even sure who reads. SO MAYBE YOU COULD SAY HELLO IF YOU DO! :D

There was a party yesterday which we had to all dress up for! However, Xenia was really busy getting Elaine ready, so.... there are only 3 of us in the picture below! Kiewu, Delia & I! :D i absolutely loved what i wore. HEH! i wanted the top to look a bit CK-ish.

After the party, we were supposed to have gone somewhere. But yeah, we know where we went. Somewhere where the blazers had to come off in case of overheating. HEH! i had fun with you guys! :D The pictures aren't all out yet, so yeah.. Gotta make do with what he have now!

Okay, on to other things. here is a video that Edmund showed me. i was like OH-MY-EFFING-GOD?!? but stuff like this, just gets me grossed out by women. Nevertheless, i'm still largely a feminist, so shut up okay.

I bought my newest fragrance recently! Burberry Summer! I rarely like summer fragrances mainly because i'm not a huge fan of air-fresheners that smell like lemons or oranges. Nevertheless, this one smelled fresh and i incredibly loved its citrus tinge. Okay, here's how it looks like!

I've got one last video for you! This was really interesting. But i think it really told me that no one should feel bad about themselves even though they get knocked down so many times. PICK YOURSELF UP, don't succumb to the very first thing you see, or that very epitome of perfection. i think we all know that NO ONE IS PERFECT.

with that, school starts next week : GREAT.

xoxo,

You Oughta Know.

Hello Stranger.

October greets with a strangeness, has it not? Well for me, it definitely has. From the timing of my new semester schedule which reminds us of how short 7 weeks actually is because the holidays are coming to an end. Oh, have i mentioned that school starts on the 19th? Yes... it does.

Anyways, Khalisah's display picture on Facebook happens to be the one below. I THINK IT IS REALLY HILARIOUS! HAHA! it cracked me up a tad bit and made a smile magically appear across my face..... yes, it was a dull day.
Anyways, i have finally adopted back my habit of reading. I have not been reading for a long time. ~~and so it is clear from the way i've been writing/blogging/speaking, is it not?~~ But this occurrence, only for a short time and a good cause. Dan Brown has a new book which was in stores 15th September 2009 actually ~~i wonder why i didn't know earlier.... oh wait, i think its because I DONT READ? hmmmm.....~~ So anyway, i've embarked on the adventure of The Lost Symbol. And its a real good book, like OBVIOUSLY right?

For those who love pictures, here's one right below! :D

You guys should purchase your copy of this book, and get started!

In music news, Britney Spears has announced her next album: The Singles Collection. What an INGENIOUS album title! :D I KNOW RIGHT?! Sarcasm aside, her new single off the album will be "3". A song that blatantly describes how she's eager to have a threesome. Perhaps, she needs to spice up her sex life a bit.... Oh yes, it does even mention a fourth person... wow... she really needs some spoofing up.....

Below is the alternative album art that many people haven't yet seen. I like the song, its very catch! its gonna do AWESOME on the charts, despite its raunchy details..... Parents should be worried.. VERY WORRIED..

BEYONCE! MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SINGER has made history according to Billboard. And hence, she received some award on the 2nd October. Also, she is featured on the cover of the magazine. Below are three gorgeous pictures of BEYONCE!

Don't you just love the last picture? HAHA. oh well, Beyonce has done some pretty fantastic renditions of her songs as a singer.. But i thought it was about time to show you the best performance of her song "Crazy In Love". This was during her tour "The Beyonce Experience" show in L.A.

I think the amazing part of this performance was:

1. Her rendition of Gnarls Barkley's hit single "Crazy". ~~And.. i used to hate this song until recently~~

2. Her ability to sing ON PITCH with so much movement.

3. Her crazy DANCING! :D

4. Her amazing vocals (and her melisma), overall.

that is why i love Beyonce oh-so-much!

and with that, i am gonna end off my post with one final picture!

FASHION IS A RELIGION
THIS IS THE BIBLE

This is gonna be my new FAVOURITE movie after Devil Wears Prada. The September Issue is a movie as a documentary of US Vogue Editor In Chief: Anna Wintour. You don't wana know how much she's being paid to do her job. I think she's fantastic, and if you don't know her, ITS ABOUT TIME YOU DID. GO WATCH THE MOVIE!

With that... see you soon darlings.

Hello Strangers!

OMG, this site has been oh so dead for such a long time. The last time i updated was after my birthday. BUT.... i don't really have much to update now.... Just some... bits and pieces here and there to inform you guys!

JUST SO YOU KNOW. September is ALMOST over! and this also means that ALL the shows have started showing. I'm really excited for Eastwick, Dollhouse, Flash Forward, and the other shows of course!

RECENTLY, i've been watching this 22 episode series called Legend Of The Seeker. Well, this is the FIRST SEASON, and the Second one has been renewed! So i'm PSYCHED for it! Okay, the plot's a bit like Eragon, but this is a bit more interesting. It's gonna be showing on Channel 5, so you guys might wana catch it when it debuts in October!

Legend Of The Seeker stars Bridget Regan and Craig Horner.

Well, we all know that F1 Rocks, ~~the concert that i did not attend~~ happened in Singapore a few days ago. I think its rather embarrassing how Beyonce said that ASIANS DON'T SPEAK VERY GOOD ENGLISH...... but you know what, i dont care. Here's her performance, if you missed it! :D

Alrightys. Cheeyang showed me this video earlier today! I personally don't watch Singapore Idol.... but this was really HILARIOUS! THANK GOD SHE DIDN'T GET IN! hahaha she was awfully pitchy and she had this awful CRACK at the end of the song.

I'm sure Victor would be like GROSSED OUT. Watch SYLTRA!

Fast forward to 3:00 NOWWWWW!!!! OMFG! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Okay, thats all for you guys! I shall try to update more the next time!

But till then,

xoxo,

Happy Birthday, Marcus.

Hello Amazing People.

THIS UPDATE IS DEDICATED TO THE MTV VMAs.

Well i'm sure you must've heard about some of the stuff that went down, because A LOT did... lets start off with the winners. Not surprising, really. Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears... we saw this coming.

But we didn't see Kanye West coming of course. OH WAIT, you know he was being an a-hole again right? LOL. Lets not even get started.

Below is one of the 3 videos i'll embed in this post! This one's by Lady Gaga. This performance was FANTASTIC. This was a "Poker Face" intro to "Paparazzi"! :)

Anyways, more on Lady Gaga... she wore really weird outfits at the concert. LOL. Everyone seemed to be talking about her.... "bird's nest" thing. Take a look at the picture below!

The next performer is BEYONCE! YEAHHHH! she was amazing to help protect Taylor Swift. So here she is with her "Sweet Dreams" intro to "Single Ladies". Its amazing how she always manages to alter the arrangement of this so effortlessly.

AND the last one isn't a performance, but a video. FAME! comes out in cinemas 25th September. This movie is a remake of the original Fame Series and the promotional song is "Fame" otherwise known as "Remember My Name". This version is sung by the lead actress, Naturi Naughton for the movie. Enjoy!

MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! :D so lets hope my 18th is a GREAT one! :D

xoxo,

I Look To You

2009-09-13T16:53:00.002+08:00

Hello People!

OMG! My birthday is just a few days away. yes, just 3 days away! this is so exciting! :D anyways, i dont know what i really want for my birthday, because i do want a lot of things. so i shall not start :) HAHAHA. lets not talk about me.

Whitney Houston has just released one of her two videos to come out this month. This one is entitled "I Look To You", the powerful ballad. It is really simple, sweet and strong. Its a BALLAD, it doesnt need to have a strong storyline.... so here it is!

okays, i shall end off my short update here! AND HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS SOON!

xoxo,

Great start to September i would say,
so hello stranger there! great to have you back

its been awfully long since i last updated this... hell hole. really, its way too dead. ANYWAYS! September has greeted us, and this month turns wild for the majority (i mean, for students in polytechnics) as we're having our holidays!

on one hand, its a relief that we dont have to study for 7 weeks. on the other, what the hell are we gonna do? and on another hand, why do you wana work the whole 7 weeks? oh wait, we only have 2 hands, right... hmmmmm. damnit.

LEONA LEWIS has a new single entitled: HAPPY! this song isn't as joyous as its title is, but its a fantastic song that grows on you after a certain degree of exposure. :) hey, its really good. the song will be off her album: Echo. What a crappy title...

Don't you think that Leona has that odd element of enigma to her? She's so mysterious sometimes.. hmmmm, its haunting... or maybe its just me uhh.

WHOOHOO!

i have changed my phone. BLACKBERRY BOLD!! :D haha okay, i know right. its a bit overrated actually. everyone is using the BBB. but who cares, its a good phone. multi-functional, in fact. now, i'll be able to check and reply my emails on time, and check facebook occasionally. heh!

~~what bullshit, its not as if i need a BBB to reply my emails on time, i'm on my computer almost 24/7.....lol?~~

BELLE is doing great! i took this picture about 2 weeks back? and she was sleeping in my room :) she is such a darling, really. and DUCHESS is back! she looks so much happier, and she's eating perfectly now.

I LOVE MY DEAREST DUCHESS AND BELLE!! i wouldn't know what i would do without them, really. so yeah!

JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, some of the shows like ANTM and GLEE have already started showing, so do keep yourself updated. of course, if you need some links, i can help you get em'! alrightys, thats all for today!

xoxo,
M.

2009-08-31T21:01:00.006+08:00

HELLO PEOPLE!

you know what.. i'm almost never updating frequently. okay perhaps not, because i think i still do. but when i do, its usually never about me, or anything i've been through. :S ANYWAYS, i'm happy doing these kinda updates. it enlightens my readers on what kinda things i'm interested in, recreation-wise. :S

wait, do you consider music, movies and US shows: A RECREATION? hmmmm.....

FIRST AND FOREMOST! i wana say that its been a rather joyous month of August. It brought a lot of stressful moments, compliments of my examinations (thank god they're over) and it brought exceptionally frequent smiles across that ugly face of mine.. :) heh!

YES. you see a very photo-shopped Whitney Houston on her newest album that just got dropped today: "I Look To You". The album has had a few songs that had been leaked weeks to months ago. The eponymous track, "I Look To You" is a ballad which sounds fantastic, ~~in my totally biased opinion.~~ "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" is supposed to be a great and powerful/impactful ballad, ~~even though i don't really like it.......~~

I'm loving "Call You Tonight" and "Salute" a lot though! :D Give the album a hit on youtube and get a listen to these tracks by the amazing Whitney. Let's hope her live performances go fantastic! :D

GLEE!

One of the many shows you ought to be watching in September! ~~yes, i know both posters state: May 19. That is because the pilot episode premiered on May 19.~~ The new season premieres on the 9th of September!

For the SUPERNATURAL fans, here's a totally original and amazingly enticing promo picture for the 6th Season. It makes me wana start watching it immediately because its so colourful and speaks so much on its own. wow. i am blown away by the characters i can see in this,its gratifying in every aspect. i.am.so.amazed.by.this.promo.pic.... OKAY I SHALL STOP IT! LOL!

I watched the trailer for this, and i have to say, its VERY interesting!! ~~I MEAN IT! I'M NOT BEING SARCASTIC HERE!~~ so die-hard fans, you're in for a treat! :D

HEROES!

For the loyal followers to this series. here is yet another enticing promo picture! The 4th season premieres on the 21st of September! I think Heroes is lame though... :S its so SLOW moving... i wasn't attached to it within the first few episodes, and gave up within the first season. LOL.

DOLLHOUSE!

THE SECOND SEASON IS GONNA BE A BLAST! With the tag-line "Anyone Can Happen", you can SO imagine how Eliza Dushku's character is gonna be! :D

Below probably the best promotional picture for this season! I AM SO EXCITED! URGH!

90210!

This horrendous-copy-of-all-the-best-shows,-so-much-so-that-its-so-uber-boring IS gonna start showing on The CW on the 8th of September! Just like almost every other CW promotional picture, this looks lame and boring.

i hope i don't have many friends who watch this...... :S

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES!

The 6th Season of this AMAZING series has dropped 2 promotional pictures so far (i.e. if i'm not mistaken!) And they look REALLY FUNNY! The season premieres on the 27th of September!

The first one is hilarious. look at the different items in the hands of the women! :D

AND AS FOR THE SECOND... uhhhh.......

OH MY GOD PEOPLE!

LOOK AT TONI BRAXTON'S NEW ALBUM ART!!!!! SHE LOOKS HIDEOUS! WHAT IS THIS OMG?! I HOPE THIS IS FAKE BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE MEDUSA!!!! LOOK AT THE "DREADLOCKS"! THEY LOOK LIKE SNAKES!!!

DISGUSTING. PERIOD.
MEANWHILE,

i need to thank Laura for sending this to me. IT IS HILARIOUS! it sure made my day! you guys should read TRACY'S STATUS UPDATE first! :D

CLICK TO ENLARGE!

OMG. FINALLY! i've reached the end of my dreadfully long update! LETS HOPE I DO LESS OF THESE IN THE FUTURE! it truly takes a lot of time and energy to do them! i hope you guys enjoyed some of the stuff, nevertheless!

till the next time!

xoxo,

1 Down, 4 To Go...

2009-08-21T18:45:00.003+08:00

Hello Stranger.

Its a beautiful day. One that was really beautiful, in my opinion. The sun was rising really beautifully as evidenced by the picture that i snapped before i left for school this morning. Yes, to school, for my first paper. It was tricky, and i shouldn't even bother about it now. I should focus on my next 4 papers, ALL next week.......

So i'm here to do some more updates on the shows that would be starting from September 2009 ONWARDS! I DON'T KNOW HOW CRAZY I AM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS: But Project Runway Season 6 HAS PREMIERED ON AUGUST 20th (which was yesterday)! But i can't watch till my papers are over....so. yeah.

Below are the 2 promotional pictures of Heidi Klum, of which the first includes Tim Gunn.

Anyways, the prize for this year differs from that of last. Firstly, the network if you remember clearly was Bravo TV. But this year, its on Lifetime! (God knows what the big difference is since i'm not American...... I just wana watch it damnit)

The winner of this season will have an editorial spread in Elle Magazine, with a cash prize of $100,000 to start their own line! (not like last year's Bluefly......), and an ALL EXPENSE paid trip for 2 to PARIS! :D (not like last year's cheap, lousy-ass car.) OKAY, never mind, its not as if we stand a chance to anything either way....

FOLLOWING THAT... AT THE REQUEST OF VICTOR TOO JUNYE, WHOM CAN BE FOUND ON HIS [TWITTER] OR AT HIS [BLOG]. DOLLHOUSE SEASON 2!

If you don't know what Dollhouse is on, SHAME ON YOU! For the past year, i've talked about it quite a bit.... so go google it right now! Anyways below is a picture of Eliza Dushku, as well as another of the cast!

I have to admit that looking at these 2 promotional pictures, i'm REALLY excited to catch this series! hopefully ratings will improve as a result of a second season, SO DO WATCH IT ALRIGHTYS! :D

The second season of Dollhouse premires on the 25th of September 2009!

NEXT! America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 is premiering on the 9th September! I put this here because of how funny some of the promotional videos were. I won't be putting any of them here, so please do youtube them yourself!

However, i've been following Tyra Banks on twitter, and she's HILARIOUS with some of her tweets. she talks about stuff instead of updating tweeters (is that what we're called?) about her life. Just like how she talked about BACON and GUYS WEARING FAKE EYELASHES IN THE FUTURE/LIPSTICK. really adorable!

FOLLOW HER: [HERE]

ALRIGHT! Now to talk bit about Gossip Girl's third season! As you can clearly see, there are promotional pictures up! Now this season sees the introduction of a few new characters. And since all of the characters now progress to Universities, its gonna be interesting what happens from there...

And i hear that there are gonna be A LOT of twists. Just like how the commercials write WTF: Watch This Fall. :D

Here is the first official commercial for the Gossip Girl season! But am i the only one to have this awful feeling that this season's gonna disappoint? :S Anyways, watch it now! :

And now, to introduce to you more on The Beautiful Life: TBL! I don't think i did much justice to this AMAZING new series, in my last post. But here are some promotional pictures so far! There are more, trust me..... :D

And if that's not enough, doesn't Mischa Barton look FABULOUS?! :D Alright. Not psyched yet? Here's the OFFICIAL COMMERCIAL FOR IT! THIS IS SO EFFING GOOD! IT IS A MUST WATCH OKAY! :

Alrightys! ENOUGH OF SHOWS. I'm sure you've had your fill! :D

Now lets talk about one person in the music scene. David Guetta. Yes, he's that DJ that everyone knows because of how AMAZING "When Love Takes Over" sounds. HEY, David Guetta just released his album entitled "One Love" and it has really great tracks on it. No, the genre is NOT TECHNO.... its more of electropop.

If you guys want to give one song a listen, try the song track "One Love" which was sung by Estelle. It happens to be one of my favourites! :D

Alrightys. i'm gonna end off right here! I hope this draggy post has been fulfilling because i haven't been able to blog for quite a while. till the next time.

xoxo,
M.

Sabotage

2009-08-13T15:06:00.004+08:00

Hello Magical Creatures that live in the heavens.

I'm seriously going nuts, knowing that the exams are a week from today, and yet i haven't exactly gotten down to mugging my teeny weeny brain out. :S So, I HAVE TO START, LIKE NOW.... someone please save me..

I'm here to update you with some news. But before i get to that. BLOGGER IS SUCH A BITCH. they deleted my previous post, and i had trouble re-blogging it for 2 days because of some reason which i have ~~disappointingly~~ forgotten about. EURGH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS, its not the first time that my post has got deleted. Grrrrr!

Now, lets start proper. Katharine McPhee has dyed her hair! :D Blonde. Here's a picture in Black & White of her, which looks absolutely gorgeous, but thats because its in black&white. in colour, it looks DISGUSTING. Sources say that she did this as publicity for her new album, i think..

Oh, i decided to put this here today. for a simple reason. i think it really says a lot. just starting at every small detail, from the petals to the whole strand of thistle itself.... plus, the colour of it, is so beautiful. YES, i love nature, and i would love that RIGHT NOW to relieve my stress which comes from goodness knows what..... :(

LADY GAGA. Well, we all know that she recently performed in Singapore at Fort Canning Park. I don't know how that went, because i didn't bother going to such a hot place to see her perform. However, she's on the cover of Billboard, and she looks disastrous. She looks like a witch, damnit. hideous!

THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN RUMOURS OF HER BEING A HERMAPHRODITE. so go google that if you want to know more... its really interesting..... :D If you don't know what a hermaphrodite is, go google it as well to be shocked.. :)

TV SHOWS! Fall is coming! This means that all the good shows are coming back! And no, i'm not talking about Singapore Idol... Glee, ANTM, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Dollhouse, The Beautiful Life. Keep an eye on these 6, because thats what i'm gonna be glued to!

You should really watch Gossip Girl's season 3 because Hilary Duff now plays a major role in the series. Plus, you'll see more of Michelle Trachtenberg aka. Georgina Sparks. :) AND... TYRA BANKS! :D She's doing a cameo on the show as a "larger-than-life actress". Below are some pictures of her highness. heh!

Here are the show debut timings and dates, with other shows you might be interested in!:

90210, SEASON 2: 8th September (Tuesday)

GLEE, SEASON 1: 9th September (Wednesday)
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, SEASON 6: 9th September (Wednesday)

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, CYCLE 13: 9th September (Wednesday)

SUPERNATURAL, SEASON 5: 10th September (Thursday)

GOSSIP GIRL, SEASON 3: 14th September (Monday)

THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE, SEASON 1: 16th September (Wednesday)

HEROES, SEASON 4: 21st September (Monday)

DOLLHOUSE, SEASON 2: 25th September (Friday)
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, SEASON 6: 27th September (Sunday)

So don't miss out on these great shows! There seems to be many shows on Wednesday... :S Anyways, if you're wondering more about The Beautiful Life: It stars Mischa Barton, Elle Macpherson, Sara Paxton, Corbin Bleu and its produced by Ashton Kutcher. FYI, Elle Macpherson used to be a model, and this series will revolve around a group of male and female models that share a residence in New York. So its a bit like The City, just non-reality. :)

With that, i think i've bored you enough, so have a great weekend to come!

xoxo,
Marcus.

I Look So Good

2009-08-05T19:30:00.009+08:00

Hello Dearest Readers.

It's really disappointing when you get an unpleasant surprise like how i found out that my Flash Application project is due THIS Sunday and not NEXT WEEK. :S i'm seriously screwed. its crazy and retarded. If only someone is able to help me miraculously complete it :S

Anyways, i happened to chance across Lindsay Lohan! She is featured in the September issue of Elle! And i think the pictures are undeniably gorgeous. Its either the fact that she's close to anorexia or the fact that she's plain comforting to the eyes. :) Maybe this is why i love her so much! Below are a few pictures!

You probably guessed so. I love the picture below. It's GORGEOUS people. my English is SO limited because it really is JUST PLAIN GORGEOUS! :D If only she could get her sexy self back into the studio and record some great tunes again, QUICKLY... meanwhile, just gaze at the pictures! :D

Let's do a section on music! It's been a really long time since i talked about an artist on my blog. Anyways, I've talked about this singer before. JESSIE JAMES! She first released her single "Wanted" which i absolutely loved. And now, she brings you her second single "I Look So Good (Without You)", which happens to be an awesome track :D

I actually uploaded a track for you guys, but it got deleted by the assholes. BESIDES, i am too lazy to re-upload it. SO until i do, just go google it or youtube it. HEH!

Hello Loverboys and Wondergirls!

ITS AUGUST! What a relief it is because in 3 weeks time, i'll be having my exams. and 5 papers there will be, to which i haven't started revising on any. :D I am SO looking forward to this examination, really. psyched, pumped, total adrenaline rush and gushing!

This August, i'm really looking forward to..... getting my exams done with because i know how much FUN i'm gonna be having after that! :D Besides that, i'm also hoping that i do really well for my examinations, and wind up in sheer blissful happiness. i think its well deserved, eh?

Anyways, over the past weekend, Xenia and I went to Clarke Quay. We met Cheeyang there too. And we took many photos such as the ones you would be seeing in the post today! So since pictures speak a thousand words, lets let them do the talking because i've got more than 10,000 words today! :D

And to add on to the ever ready, picture ready me, here are more photos. I particularly like this one below. its blurred, but was taken unintentionally. :) I also love the one with the pint of beer in the foreground. i think its really nice. :)

I also need to add right here, that I LOVE XENIA'S PICTURES! They turned out fantastic! I am SO in need of a camera right now.... i can't possibly bring an SLR everywhere i go right. i cant bring it to go clubbing can i....... :S Alrightys, moving on!

And the following day, a Saturday. Khai Dan, Faith and I had a little gathering at a secret location. :) It turned out to be a tonne of fun as we played Wii. :D Here is one picture of the three of us! ~~i honestly, was about to type threesome =X~~ and i have to say that these 2 people are just simply awesome friends. :) GUYS, I REALLY LOVE YOU!

You can always check our facebook for more pictures that were unfortunately taken, that night. :)

AND HERE IS MY DARLING! BELLE! She's doing so well right now, and she looks absolutely glowing. ~~other than the fact that she should be given that she's a GOLDEN retriever~~ i hope that you like this picture below, because i certainly do! :D When i look at Belle, i don't understand how people can HATE dogs..... Simply the most adorable creatures ever!

Maybe its not bad to be a bitch after all! :D

Alrights. i think i've come to the end of this post that i've wanted to do for a few days. SO, i will be back to update this site, really soon! In the meantime, have a great (maybe) 4 days, ahead! :D

xoxo,
Marcus.

2009-07-25T22:02:00.003+08:00

Hey People!

OMG, these pictures should've been put up on my blog earlier. Because it represents the fun times that Faith, Khaidan and I always have! But this occasion was with the inclusion of Cheryl Chew! Cheryl was a Corp Comms Officer and used to study at my school. YES! NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC! :D She did Nursing, and now she's at University of Queensland! She's one of the nicest people to hang out with.

And so here are the memoirs to remember that night! :D

So, we started off with weird funny pictures. KD tagged this photo above, as "Hantu". You should know why. :)

And the following photos below are other weird contortions we can make with our mouths, cheeks, eyes, eyelashes, noses, jaws, hands to cover any flaws, tongues, teeth, the size of our nostrils, and other various physical features. :)

And to end the night off, we did some nice classic photos. The ones with that perfect smiles, perfect mood which captured every essence of friendships! :D Cheryl Chew will be dearly missed till we next see her!

AND. today, being a Saturday, i amazingly had no plans, so i am here doing my blog entry. Due to my mental boredom, i surfed youtube and watched MADtv! :D Here are a few of them which really cracked me up!

This one below is the Nicole Richie one. OMG, so freaking hilarious when she does her fake laughter! :D

And the one below is some Airlines Safety Video! Its really unexpected, so enjoy this!

And last, but not the least. There's always the element of sexuality, right? So this one's classic, and sick! Absolutely cracking!

And so. I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as i had my laughs from finding the videos. School's on Monday, and i really am dreading it. But its time to study, Marcus....

Me.

Untitled, She Spoke, Again.

2009-07-24T14:35:00.005+08:00

Hi people.

I remember blogging this before. A prose which i wrote back in February 2009. This prose was written with the intention to deliberate love. Its also written in the perspective of a girl. So, do read it again! :)

UNTITLED, SHE SPOKE

As she looked. Blankly stared. Eyes fixated upon the open book. Her mind swirled into a jumble, a deluge of thoughts. Another one. As the words embellished themselves into her mind once again, she heaved a sigh of regret. “Why”, she asked herself. “What was I thinking?!” And as she pondered, lingered at the threshold of doubt. A word. A path. An answer. Had she found, or was she found?

And as the moment faded into time. As the moment recited its victory in which a concoction of likes, lies and lessons saw her life endure. And as the girl, that ‘she’, a small delight, a small terror. She grasped what was in reach – love. In surreal company, a misery that gleamed in honour. What stood in line, she rejoiced for. A dull rainbow, a boring novelty. She wondered ,and wandered down streets in her life - a straight jacket she never escaped from. Her pretense now faulted. Her life, her soul, her love she never dared challenge. A wick without wax to burn, a life without a heart.

And there stood a many answer that sense didn’t put a finger to. What was the end, as she surrendered in more wet pity. Pleading, for torture? A juncture where words seemed less than credibility proved. A reconnection to the former? Or were the formers all an enigmatic replica of the latter? In life, she put her first foot as front. Risky? Caution? Trust. Faith. Shunned from light, tongue pulled back in remorse and deathly fear. Looming in despair, her shrouded heart smashed when light penetrated. A black room turned white. The awkward silences the pair found present. A sight. A fight. A plight, pathetic.

She slammed it shut. Gushes streamed down in her cascading mind as it hovered over hope, lost. Akin a ship without a sailors, it sinks. Her life without the other, dies.

You know, things are always uncertain, but sometimes the swing comes back to you, and all you are left to do, is grab it. Like it is said, Carpe Diem, because it comes only this very often. :)

xoxo,
Marcus.

Meaningful Dejection.

2009-07-23T13:18:00.003+08:00

HELLO DARLINGS!

and so it is, again, that i update this deposition which no one possibily reads. but anyways, i shall still go ahead with my entry today as planned!

I decided to blog today based on a few impending issues! first of all. SCHOOL'S A MAJOR BITCH. i've started getting various feelings of disappointment with my school life. Maybe its because it conflicts with my social life and perhaps it just gets boring due to the PLAIN fact that i'm in Banking and it coincidentally happens to be full of nerds ~~, to which i am~~ ~~certainly~~ ~~not a part of~~. Another reason is that syllabus is getting tougher as expected. And the last reason? Below:

Well you see, Mrs Penny Thong, my lovely tutor and Module Leader/Lecturer has been sick for the past 3 weeks? And this equates me missing classes/lessons for this period. Isn't that really sad, because i'm kinda losing my motivation. Besides, 3 SETS OF TUTORIALS sounds like quite a lot of things to go through. :S

OKAY! So i had Flash Animation for my IS today, and we had to search for images to import and i found this perfectly beautiful architectural grandfather clock which is made of glass. :D Now isn't that just beautiful!!

Okay. Lastly, to end off my meaningless post, i've got a poem. I wrote this quite a while ago, and published it on my blog. But here it is, 6 lines. 2 of which i just added to the original 4!

Dig deep, think ahead, ponder more:

Under those lies, under that face.
A dark daze, without a place.
Those lies, those words, are all a maze
Maybe i'm just one of your slaves.
Precedence, it brought a craze,
As time toiled, nonchalantly unfazed.

With that, i end off here!
xoxo,
Marcus.

A Frenzied Array.

2009-07-14T16:25:00.003+08:00

Hey people.

i just realized that blogger deleted the actual post that i made on the 14th of July. ANAL PEOPLE. anyways, i remember vividly that i posted my FP Video on Insurance! So here it is!:

Anyways. Some other updates during the weeks that i've not been blogging are that i've attended YLC3, which turned out to be a success! :D Also, Poly Experience is over! This year wasn't exactly fantastic due to the low turnout. But still, it was a good chance for me to be professional again. :S

YOU KNOW WHAT, i have no idea what i'm saying. i'm gonna end off here.

xoxo,
Marcus.

Too Little Too Late.

2009-06-28T17:44:00.003+08:00

Hello Stranger.

School's starting really soon. Needless to say how depressing this is, right? But yeah, the projects are gonna start piling up, and the workload's gonna be increased and standard, tougher. But press on because this is what we must do. Life really does get difficult before it gets easier. There is a Chinese saying which revolves around the ideology of Bitterness comes before Sweetness. And its very true.

Above is a picture of a DOG!! *claps and sings a merry song* DUH, what does it LOOK like..... Her name is LEXIE. Anyways, she's supposed to be a stray dog, but i really and highly doubt so. My sister "found" her, and she's such an adorable bitch! :D heh! Anyways, she's really small and yeah. I'm so falling in love with her. Yes, a dog.

I've got a song for you guys. This song just came out a few days ago, and its really sad. I think it is a leaked song by Brandy. There is a version of her singing with Ne-Yo, but her solo one is a tonne better. More emotional for reflective purposes. Entitled "Too Little Too Late", the song is tagged, but still, here it is:

Now, while listening to the song, read this part below:

With the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, you really start treasuring the lives around you. Because anything, ANYTHING can change, anytime. And when you don't miss it the most, it will disappear. And when that happens, its gonna be too late to regret and YOU'RE gonna be the one who suffers. What's the point of respecting those gone now when you didnt even bother doing it when they were around..? Life is fragile, we are dispensable. Most people learn their lessons from making mistakes. But this can NEVER be a mistake because you'll be destroyed. Its rare that people realize the severity of the situation we're in, but when they do, only then do you know that they live for the right purpose... Because everything is, too little too late.

Now, don't you wish you were non-existent, bearing no pains or hurt of the world that inflicted it on you? Oh i'm sure you do, because Men generally are ignorant creatures who think they are superior to other beings. And the risk and cost of that? To bear all responsibilities, thus, leading to your downfall.

Emo-ness over. So, i'll see everyone at school and around sometime! Thats the end of my almost meaningless post! Till next time.

xoxo,
Marcus.

When Love Takes Over

2009-06-23T00:22:00.004+08:00

HELLO STRANGER!

i just realized that its been ages since i last updated this space. 9th June. And today's like the 23rd! i really cannot believe that i didn't update my blog for so long! Anyways, nothing has been missed out really. It's just that you missed the Common Test nightmarish me and the AMBASSADORS TnB CAMP 2009!

TnB stands for Training and Bonding, and its when we formally train and accept our new year1's into the Ambassadorial family. something very hard to do, but nevertheless, we accomplished. It was fun, funNY, tiring and many things that cannot be mentioned. But all in all? A fantabulous camp. Let the pictures do the talking, really. :)

I WANA THANK MIRANDA FOR TAKING SUCH AWESOME PHOTOS THROUGHOUT!! :D

And just when you thought that the camps were over, you're wrong because there's gonna be one later. :) YLC2! Which stands for Youth Leader's Camp. I'm really excited for this camp! It's gonna be whole lotta fun i know it cuz i can feel it tingling in me right now.
*okay, that sounds scary eh?*

Okay, i've got a video to show you. Beyonce. You know i love her. This is her Making The Video for the song "Broken Hearted Girl". Listen to what she says, because it is so so so so SO EFFING true. i think that only when you really start practising what you preach? You'd start understanding love and the ONE you love.

I don't know if you guys love "When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta ~~and Kelly Rowland?~~ Because i just saw the video, and i really like the song even more now. The mixes that i have suck, because its already a fantastic song.

So yeah! TILL NEXT TIME! :D

Marcus.

Hello 24th Week of 2009. You sure come by fast, and soon, we're gonna pass the mid of the year. Today was my first paper, Accounts. Thank goodness it was do-able. 2 more to go, cannot wait. I have so many things to go over (AND FREAKING GET DONE WITH IT) because there are some which i so do not wana do. Thats for me to know, and you'll never find out. :D

So i cam back today, and the sun was setting. I managed to capture the image above. No, the sky wasn't THATTTT orange. i deliberately made it more orange. I absolutely love sunsets and their unique.... "shape" if you can call it one.... :S Its so fresh, and breath-taking. Its amazing, sweet, serene, awe-inspiring really.

I've got a new blog song. Brooke White, who was a contestant on the 7th season of American Idol. Yes, i don't like her. But this song is really meaningful, and sweet. The song's entitled "When We Were One", and you should download it or least, give it a listen. I've got a new blog song to put up soon again! The next one is Regina Spektor! :D

Aren't you bored, aren't you stultified?

Cue The Rain.

Feel So Untouched.

2009-06-05T19:23:00.002+08:00

Hello Human.

FIRSTLY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHU YA! This girl's been there for me since whenever. I'm so glad to know her, and have a friend like her. we're very much alike, and i'm glad that we are. :) Hope you have a smashing 18th darling, and always love yourself! BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! :D

Ah..You know the Australian duo, The Veronicas that brought you smashing hits since forever. With songs like "4ever", "Everything I'm Not", "Secret", "When It All Falls Apart" and their awesome single, "Untouched"; you really get to like them a lot. But when i saw this live performance of "Untouched", wow. Speechless. they're just so good. :)

Alright. so back to mugging!

xoxo,
Marcus.

Hello, June.

2009-06-04T01:59:00.003+08:00

Hi Stranger.

A new month starts, yet again. we recall the moments of happiness June brought us, the same time just a year ago. It was more blissful perhaps. Less stress, less wandering without worries. But now, just less than a week away, doesn't that feeling of death linger within you, like you're so unprepared for this. I wonder how i'm gonna pass the obstacles in my life like this. Yes, i'm talking about the Common Tests. 3 papers, next week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Well, to look forward to other events in June, birthdays! Shu Ya! Your birthday's in a few days' time! :D The JC students are having their breaks now, so i can't wait for mine to start! Ambassadors are having the inauguration and the T&B Camp, which i'm also looking forward to. And i've just signed up for YLA2 as well! :D I'm hoping to take a getaway with Baoying and SiEn during the break as well! THATS A LOT LINED UP EH?! :D

I say, every man for himself. Lets change that up with more emotion. every FUCKING man for his FUCKING self. Why? Well, thats the ugly truth about the world. Everyone's greedy, jealous for their own wants. Everybody wants a slice of the cake. Misery, really. Uncalled for, unappreciative, unreasonable, ungrateful. Its hard to find another who's not. But what are the chances? I watched Keeping Up With The Kardashains, and its just so sad. Khloe, Kourtney. Both of them having their boyfriend's cheating on them. Ouch..

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince trailer is AWESOME!!!! Here's the official trailer for it! And the movie's set to be released in the U.S in July. I CANNOT WAIT! :D

Also, the sequel to the movie, Twilight: New Moon, will be in theatres this year. I'm really excited to see it. I don't think its gonna be as good as the book is (like every good novel goes, the movie always sucks), but still. here's the trailer!

Alrights, thats the end of my short update!

xoxo,

Marcus.

Katy Perry Love!

2009-05-29T01:55:00.003+08:00

Hello Everyone!

As you know, i'm quite a fan of Katy Perry. and when she performed at the H&M Event in Tokyo, i think i started liking her more. You know how she's always off-tune? Well, you should really watch this. SHE IS ALMOST ON PITCH, SO OFTEN!! :)

CLICK [HERE]

she sang three songs. "Hot N Cold", "Waking Up In Vegas", as well as "I Kissed A Girl". the whole performance was acoustic! I guess, she sounds better with less backing because the drums and all probably drowns her voice, making her sing louder and off tune. :)

ENJOY!

xoxo,
Marcus.

No Boundaires

2009-05-28T00:44:00.004+08:00

HELLO STRANGERS.

i bet you haven't missed me a slightest bit! anyways, i'm here today to just do a short update. with nothing, no pictures, no songs, no updates in music.

i've got my IS presentation tomorrow, and its getting on my nerves. i'm trying to consolidate everything, with the help of Baoying and Sebastian! :D With exams around the corner, and projects due. I'm really gearing up to a hectic schedule. :S

Anyways, earlier on in the day, i did 2 duties. One at Christchurch Secondary School, one at Jurong Secondary School. :) i'm very happy that i'm really doing my part as an ambassador to market the school! haha. okays.... never minds.

if you haven't noticed, i've changed my blog picture. Did a collage of a few pictures i really like. And thats what i came up with. Gosh, i'm so out of touch with editing and photography as of late. :( i so need to get inspired and continue shooting! RAHRS!

Haven't you wondered if you were never cut out for the world? Ever wondered that the game is just not for you to play? That the world, full of deceit, is just way to complex and you don't wana get involved in it at all? Oh, i'm not talking about everyday life. I'm talking about choices, decisions that brighten your life, or make it more miserable in the process. I would really hope that such complexities disintegrate because really, now's a bad time. With so many opposing pieces of sadness occurring in America, you start wondering if EVERYTHING was a game to you. If what you believed in, was just a lie. Because people turn on their words. Its as if it meant nothing to them, AT ALL.

Well, just like everyone else, i'm living this life.

so fret not right, Marcus?

Me.

Bipolar Perspectives.

2009-05-23T00:23:00.004+08:00

Hello Stranger.

The days go by, and i really start worrying about myself. I've always got a skeleton in my mind, of my life. But recently, the foundation is crumbling into many a piece of fragmented rocks - concrete pieces of haphazard ideas. Obstacles that pose themselves as a challenge to my progress in life. After all, you make your bed, and you lay in it.

To say that i don't care about the journey that life lays before my very feet, is stupidity. Pretending not to see it is like walking right into a pit of snakes. But to ascertain it, and prevent something from going bad, is another. Much tougher to do, harder to resist. Are we willful? Or are we focused and contented. Are you content with what you have? Or do you really want more...

I came back this afternoon feeling really worn out. School's been sapping my energy bit by bit. This, together with all the unnecessary stress and my uber weak immune system, really aggravates an illness. Yeah, i'm falling sick. :(

I watched the sun set earlier on in the day. i wanted to capture an image of being so close to freedom, so close but yet so far. The road may seem tough, but do you really wana go out there, alone? Do tell me what you see in the above picture. :)

The picture above is obviously, NOT mine. I took it from flickr a few days ago. What i really liked about this is the subtleties and sheer simplicity. I like the reflection of the hearts on the cup. I like how the hearts aren't perfectly symmetrical. I like how the picture looks so warm and welcoming, but so cold and cautions you. I like the ironies that you can so relate to your own life, from this very picture. Bipolarities, are amazing....

My purpose of this post? To let some stuff out of my brain. To hope that things get better for the few people i referred to. In hope that you'll realize how important it is to stay focused, to prioritise correctly and accordingly, to think twice or thrice before doing something and to be sensitive.

Lessons that you don't learn everyday. Skills which you don't acquire overnight. Slow, but steadily. Time and tide waits for no man, but how if the man waits for time? What would you say.

xoxo,
Marcus.

Now Or Never.

2009-05-18T23:28:00.003+08:00

MAY has met greeted, and bid goodbye to the mid month. As today falls the 18th of the month, suddenly, i find myself in a pit-ful of stress. That of the imminent project deadlines, unforeseen and expected nerves. With the exam week just 3 weeks away, its hard not to worry about how i'd fare for this common tests.

The picture below is something i got for my one and only, dearest Sister. MARIANNE KHOO! she turned 20 yesterday, (Sunday, the 17th May 2009). I'm not exactly the closest of kins to my sister, but she means a whole deal to me nevertheless. And she's got everything, so it was tough to think of something. But fret not! Baoying and I found something in town today. :)

From Thomas Sabo, i got her the... "thing" below. i'd call it a pendent because it LOOKS very much like one, i would like to think. LOL. If you can't see it clearly, its actually a high-heel with some... small little diamonds encrusted at the edge of the heel. :) Simple, elegant, cute. Something she would probably wear on a less casual occasion. LOVE YOU SIS! :D

Moving on from the happy moments in my life, ALL my shows are coming to an end. ANTM Cycle 12 has found its winner, Teyona. No comment. This week, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl and American Idol does their finale's. It's a bit.... depressing because i'd have nothing to distress with. OF COURSE, Project Runway 6 is coming back to the screens this year, but only on August 20th 2009.

Next week is E-Learning Week. Splendid! That means i've got more time to complete my projects before week 7. And week 8's the exam week so YEEHAW! i really CANNOT wait. :)

thats all for now, loves.

xoxo,
Marcus.

Sorry.

2009-05-17T21:08:00.004+08:00

School picks up its pace as projects and tutorials pile themselves to a level higher than my eyeballs. Whilst civilization seems so bleak, the hope that's in store for a break eases itself another step closer. :)

He has mentioned this: Lost for Feelings, Misled by Love, Cradled by Hope, Suicidal by Fantasy. Its simple, an incremental 4-phrase narrative that encapsulates the essence of the picture above. (taken from flickr) An apology for reasons undue, unknown, uncalled for. Unsurpassed, a quality held by he.

This road's really anything, but simple. As strings tie themselves to the bases of another, its complexities overload a simple mind. Pure, innocent, loving, happy, longing, waiting. This mind isn't powerful enough to withstand such a blow from the other. A wake up call, to upgrade its armour, select its tactic, rephrase his words, divulge differently.

Taking the high road, he mutters an anguished clutter of remorse. A pain, a heartache, a love that he was gonna push away - reasons clear to only himself. Timing was one, but walking away from a potential, is something else. That's the path, HE chose.

The road must get rough, before it gets smooth. Right?

p.s: Happy Birthday Sis. You're dearly loved.

IDNHU.

I Have Nothing.

2009-05-13T01:56:00.002+08:00

Hello Darlings,

i'm here to simply post a video. Let it do the talking. Like i said in my previous entry, i have nothing. And Christina Aguilera illustrates it PERFECTLY with her flawless vocals on Whitney's "I Have Nothing", at the tender age of 14. Perhaps, even she, blissfully blinded by such innocence, knew how it felt to have nothing at all.

With love,

Marcus.

Unaltered Emotions.

2009-05-11T23:28:00.004+08:00

there was a time i asked: "of what significance am i", to that special someone in my life. and now i ask my friends that very same question. seriously, of what significance am i to you guys. If i were to die tomorrow, how many of you would attend my funeral, how many of you will feel that you've lost someone? you know, as much as i wana exaggerate it, i can't say that there'll be many.

i dont want people to mourn me when i die. I don't wana be a cancer to the people who love me, but it shows that perhaps, i don't have that many concrete blocks in my life. But what can i do about them? perhaps nothing, because i have nothing. a plain person in a white tee and crumpled jeans. who never gets set apart from the ordinary. But of course, there are those that never realize how important we are to them. Are we to pretend that we're useless and utter blocks of wood with zerorized intelligence?

And its only until then, that that friendship is truly tested to its limits. Whether it would even survive, is highly unlikely. But why even try when you know that you'll not succeed? Why even put yourself in that situation to get hurt? why even make a decision that you so know you'll regret. why love when you know its wrong? why give it a shot when its bound to make you question your principles in life? why be so stupid? Why FUCKING HURT YOURSELF??

maybe, thats just the way we are. doing things, always, on impulse. and maybe, you just dont know me, and you just dont know yourself.

xoxo,
Me.

Empty Visions.

2009-05-10T17:38:00.002+08:00

It was a run, constant run. As aimless as how you are in life. But then the dream turned a different page and thoughts of your habitance simply puffed into a cloud of memories, which i now would've left behind.

And to replace it, not a certain thing, or one. It was interesting, for in it, i was running around from place to place, for hours. And then suddenly the scene changed, the act, re-played - backward. Perhaps it did mean something after all, perhaps it was just once. But really, would life be this meaningful without it?

And then i got awoken by a message from my phone....

I Look So Good

2009-05-08T19:30:00.002+08:00

Hello Dearest Readers.

It's really disappointing when you get an unpleasant surprise like how i found out that my Flash Application project is due THIS Sunday and not NEXT WEEK. :S i'm seriously screwed. its crazy and retarded. If only someone is able to help me miraculously complete it :S

Anyways, i happened to chance across Lindsay Lohan! She is featured in the September issue of Elle! And i think the pictures are undeniably gorgeous. Its either the fact that she's close to anorexia or the fact that she's plain comforting to the eyes. :) Maybe this is why i love her so much! Below are a few pictures!

You probably guessed so. I love the picture below. It's GORGEOUS people. my English is SO limited because it really is JUST PLAIN GORGEOUS! :D If only she could get her sexy self back into the studio and record some great tunes again, QUICKLY... meanwhile, just gaze at the pictures! :D

Let's do a section on music! It's been a really long time since i talked about an artist on my blog. Anyways, I've talked about this singer before. JESSIE JAMES! She first released her single "Wanted" which i absolutely loved. And now, she brings you her second single "I Look So Good (Without You)", which happens to be an awesome track :D

So I've been really nice, and decided to put a download link here for you guys. I will also make it available on the right column where all my music links are, at a later date :)

-download link not available yet, will upload at a later date-

Alrights. Next, I'm sure you've heard of the F1. Yes, its coming back this September, and with it? A CONCERT! F1 ROCKS!!! WHICH BRINGS BEYONCE AND THE BLACK EYED PEAS TO SINGAPORE!!!! :D THEY ARE PERFORMING AT FORT CANNING PARK ON THE 26TH OF SEPTEMBER!!!!!! AND TICKETS ARE GOING AT $180 @ EARLY BIRD PRICES!

Hello Darlings.

Here's an update for you at 2.05am, on a Friday morning! I've got a few stuff to update! so lets get started! MAS SELAMAT has been arrested in Malaysia. Well, this should be really surprising considering how LONG it has been since he escaped from Whitley Road Detention Centre. Anyways, Rachael Aw Bao Ying now has something new to say to Boon Kiat in our LMS video. :D ERPS, okay, lame right.. learnt it from Si'En. :) AHOYHOO, below is the excerpt taken from Channelnewsasia.

Thursday (which was a few hours ago), was a terrible day. It was really boring on the whole. For my IS, we went to the Science Centre. like seriously, we went there to do electrophoresis. i did that in sec2? so... its not a big deal, you know? And i think we did it again in sec3/4. WAKING UP AT 7AM to go to school and then get transported to Jurong for this stupid field trip, was such a waste of time.

However, we did have fun taking pictures. :D like the one below. I know, i look awfully unglamorous, but whatever, seriously. i don't need to look good all the time. i'm human anyways.

However, Rachael, Si'En, Sebastian, Chong Ying, Zhiyan and i all met up in town! YAY! We walked from Far East all the way to Taka and then went to Cine to watch Star Trek, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE REALLY FANTASTIC considering it was 2h20mins, it seemed really action engaging. :) and i did something so embarrassing at one point of time in the movie. GAWD. lol.

Below are the pictures taken when we were just.....sitting at McDonalds doing nothing, seriously. But yeah, it was good bonding time. :D I really wana thank my BFAS for being there for me! Love you guys!

OKAY. for the rants about America, here they go.

SO, i watched 2 shows today. First of all, was America's Next Top Model C12. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT CELIA IS OUT. DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM WITH TYRA BANKS?! ~~actually, not that angry luh, i still love her~~ BUT SERIOUSLY, CELIA IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN AMINAT. SHE MAY BE 25, BUT SHE'S NOT AS OLD AS PAULINA RIGHT?! EURGH. ~~fine, paulina doesn't model anymore.....~~ BUT STILL, HOW OLD IS HEIDI KLUM?! ~~even though thats unfiar because she's a supermodel~~ BUT U GET MY DRIFT, RIGHT?

Look, her shot isn't THAT bad right... And the picture below that is Allison's, who i'm really proud of now. But really, i dont think she'll make it to final 2 because she's so soft spoken! And she can't exactly do a very good walk compared to Aminat even though Aminat's a bitch. MAJOR BITCH.

The other unhappy issue is... Allison Iraheta from Amiercan Idol 8. LIKE SERIOUSLY. wtf is America doing?! I mean, i honestly don't think Adam would do very well on the charts if he won. But right now, he seems like the one to win. Kris is just lucky with his looks. Danny's been lucky because the judges have been honestly, nice to him. But Allison's voice is classic and so very beautiful. I think this year, only the girls are voting because there are 3 guys in the top 3.

bullcrap, seriously. sigh. anyways. i think i'll end off my post here. 4 hours of FRP later!

The Road Not Taken.

2009-05-07T01:04:00.002+08:00

The Road Not Taken.

A façade, fictitious. An undignified understatement. A scandal, a scare. A hurl that hurt. It led many ways, that path did. A quick rise, a short fall too. It held many a reason to be wary. He’d been warned, umpteen times. Situations like these, they led only one way. One way, which led to another – death. Not of body, but of life. Its essence itself sapped up life in purpose. No one blames a dead fish, no one blames a baby.

“No one blamed you!”, he quirked. Indeed, the road it led only one way. It brought peace, it brought direction. We think it did, or you, per se. It brought temporary happiness, it brought joy for keep’s. It brought flee, it brought itself in chastise of a fee. In beating its only maker, it bit the hand that fed it.

As wonder brings about the takings from the table, it pointed to rote learning, rote behaviourial effects which incessantly comment on its neighbours’. He yelled “Lift Me Up” in hope for a save, but when it went down that path, the other, a road that never was taken. The slave it had become, a sad life they led. A showdown where both love and hate showed no mercy, no fences, no dilemmas, no uncertainties. Only One. The Road Has To Be Taken.

YAY MAY!

hello people. its already May! Great. you know, some things just has to remain as they are, some things just cannot change. some things will just disappoint. But lets hope this post doesn't! :D I've got lots of sexy stuff to show you. okay, just 2.

Lets start this post off by showing you the picture below. Guess what shop that is........

You probably didn't guess it right, but that shop is GAP. Yes, i know, Gap selling Havaianas? :S Confusing, eh? Well you see, in America, its summer now, so i suppose they introduced that idea to Gap shops. What's interesting is that this, is an ALL CUSTOM HAVAIANAS SHOP! i think its so cool. Of course, if you watched ANTM last week (i think), Fo won Havaianas encrusted with diamonds. that's just way too cool.

BELLE! Remember my golden retriever? she got her fur shaved. i think my dad even said that both Duchess and her got jabs (against H1N1 i suppose) HAHA. so yeah, she's looking more adorable than usual. <3

Talking about H1N1 (or swine flu), Singapore's MOH has raised its emergency level to ORANGE! That means that we must take our temperature in school, twice a day. one at 9am, the other at 3pm. GREAT. you know, i really can't wait for it to turn RED. To find out why, click on the link, [here]

If you watched ANTM last week, you would've seen the model below. i think she's ~~fucking~~ FREAKING hot! Her name's Fernanda Motta, and she's from, Brazil of course. (Brazil has the hottest models on Earth....really....) just look at her.....i actually think there is a resemblance to Mischa Barton in the pic below. lol.

OKAY. so Lady Gaga released her single "LoveGame" a few weeks ago i think. The song's terrible at first, i found it weird. but here's the video, which is UBER SEXY! you just gotta love how she tries so hard to sell sex. because its fantastic and really awesome. :D So here's the video:

Lady GaGa - LoveGame (Official Video)
Uploaded by boy-fan-de-th

OKAY! thats all for now, i hope you enjoyed the nonsense i typed here today. the number of tutorials i have, is gonna flood and kill me by tomorrow. so, thats all for now!

Ride My Tempo.

2009-04-30T01:11:00.006+08:00

Hello Stranger.
April's reached its end and its time to bid goodbye to the fourth month and welcome May. April was the re-opening of school, it also marked a rather unfortunate decision that is now corrected. Well, mistakes made and done, its time to move on to a new month, a new beginning. It marked my hair being cut.

Just look at the picture below. i know its slightly pixelated. BUT SERIOUSLY. i really miss my bangs. you know, i didnt need to style it at all. just some conditioner and an occasional straightening. =X LOL! i miss the helmet. :( but oh well..... i suppose i'm showing off my face more now, which is.... fresh.

There are few things in May that i'm looking forward to! One of them would be the preparations fo Training & Bonding Camp! I'm helping Shanya out with the Games, and it already sounds fun. Indeed its tedious, but i'm sure its gonna be tonnes of fun, and when it actually takes off on the day itself, we're gonna be so happy that its a success. :D

I'm also looking forward to the Audi Fashion Festival. Its held on the 10th of May 2009, which is a Sunday, at Ngee Ann Civic Plaza. I'm going with Xenia to watch Vivienne Westwood showcase her Anglomania collection. :D Sadly, Marc Jacobs' tickets were sold out well before 9 days, so i didn't get a chance to book em'. :(

Anyways, i really dont have much to update. April 2009 has had more blog posts from me. It also saw me questioning myself more. I do not entirely know all my answers, but i just hope i find out soon enough. I'm hoping for a joyful May. :D

This is all, and i've got school at 8am tomorrow, so.

Beyonce's Halo Live.

2009-04-24T23:35:00.006+08:00

hello people.

i'm here just to post a video of Beyonce singing "Halo" live on The Late Show with David Letterman. She does sing a few notes off-key, but its still many notches higher than many other singers. Her falsettos are heavenly, serene and OH so beautiful. :D

alrights. i'm gonna just end off here. it's a Friday night, i've got to go to school tomorrow for Games Day, and i've got tonnes of tutorials to do. absolutely not looking forward to next week, and my weekends are gonna be gone in a second. :(

xoxo,

Marcus.

Angel From The Sky.

2009-04-24T01:03:00.005+08:00

HELLO PEOPLE!

i'm here to do a photo update! School is in SESSION! and my finance modules are gonna suck! i can just feel it! Onto better news, i stayed in school today with 2 of my BFAS! And here are 5 out of the 90-over pictures we took!

Oh yes, you'd see my...short hair in the pics below. well, i have forgotten ~~yes, forgotten~~ how to style hair. ~~uh huh, can't remember how to do it well~~ and so, its ever changing from day to day, but i'm settling on one style that looks fine. :)

AHHH. the picture below is highly hilarious. i swear, the "light" in between my palm(s) was natural. LOL. thanks for lending your hands, Baoying and Sebastian!

Below is the streaming of a song by Kate Voegele that was leaked just a few days ago. This song, which follows "99 Times" and "Manhattan From The Sky" is the one i like the most out of the 3. The song is entitled "Angel" and is a fabulous track! Give it a listen.

I was thinking of putting a download link for you guys... but i decided not to. if you really want it, let me know.

~~honestly, i think my blog entry's title sucks. angels are~~ ~~OBVIOUSLY associated with the sky. where else would angels come from, right? Hence, Angel from the SKY luh. pfft. okay, i'm mocking myself. :S~~

OKAY! thats the end of the post, so i'll update this space soon!
xoxo,
Marcus

Paparazzi.

2009-04-19T21:58:00.006+08:00

Hello Strangers.

i'm just gonna be doing an update and sharing of some stuff. Not gonna be too much ~~bullshit~~ info, so lets first start off by saying that school starts tomorrow.

YES. SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. OMG. EURGHH. Yaye, now let me sing to the heavens because i'm a second year student who's doing finance stuff. I wrote on facebook:

"Marcus is psyched for school tomorrow. He really can't wait. He's been looking forward to school ever since it ended a month and a half ago......"

Right, so i'm being awfully sarcastic but i really don't wana start school. But i'm really excited for duty tomorrow with Bertram Khoo and to meet my BFAS's! :D so... its a love-hate thing. i've no idea why i'm so long-winded today. tsk tsk.

Oh. i've been really bored because i've got lots of free-time now. And so i watched HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE YESTERDAY! don't ask me why i watched it. I don't really like Miley Cyrus, but still. TYRA BANKS APPEARED IN IT! She and Miley were having a shoe fight. HILARIOUS! hahaha. Taylor Swift also did a cameo. :)

Lady Gaga is known for her hit singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". She was also said to be releasing a new single, "Lovegame", which turned out to be false because the video for "Paparazzi" had been shot a few days ago. Below are 4 stills from the shoot. I'm so EXCITED for the video.

I've put a youtube window below for you to stream the song to give it a listen. As usual, since its a Lady Gaga song, it's probably gonna do really well on the charts. :D Enjoy!

Onto other music news, there is a new artist you should take note of. Her name? Jessie James!!!! She sang "Blue Jeans" for the Confessions Of A Shopaholic Soundtrack. Her debut single, "Wanted" is fantastic! Its edgy and up-beat! It's a bit country-like to a certain extent? But i don't really know what kinda genre it is anyways. LOL

Her voice is slightly like Christina Aguilera's actually. Listen carefully to the chorus. It has the same power and tone to it. Also, the song was written by herself and 3 more writers. One of them being Kara DioGuardi. :) So below is a stream for the song. Enjoy it!

Kelly Clarkson's single "My Life Would Suck Without You" premiered at #97 and jumped to #1 in just one week, showing you that she's still....the best. Her newest single, "I Do Not Hook Up" is a fantastic track written by Katy Perry. Her video just leaked yesterday, and here it is (in bad quality).

In my honest opinion, the video doesn't really make much sense. Even though i LOVE the song, she could've done better for the video. I was laughing at certain bits. LOL. Oh yeah, does she really need to sing onstage in every video she shoots? IDK how many there have been of her singing on a stage. She's not that amateur/uncreative anymore right..... Still, give it a shot, and share my sentiments. :)

AHHH! One last video for you! This is quite old! But i thought it was really cute. It's a parody of Destiny's Child. If you don't know, there are not only 3 members in the group. There was Beyonce, Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Letoya Luckett, LaTavia and Farrah. I don't remember the last 2 anyways. But watch it. It's not even an official parody, as you can tell. But it still got me cracking. LOL.

Alrights. THIS WEEK! ALL the shows are showing!!! As in, Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl comes back. So remember to watch them all! Finally, i've got a haircut! and its drastic. But i'm not sure if its exactly fantastic. But yeah, its.......short. :)

That's all! so i shall end my post here.
xoxo,
Marcus.

My Subprime.

2009-04-18T15:40:00.004+08:00

HELLO PEOPLE!

you know how the whole sub prime thing is SO confusing sometimes? there's a video by EVIL BUNNY on youtube to explain it. and i swear, its SO SO EFFING FUNNY! haha. you'll be snickering and laughing you head off. :) so here it is!

alrightys. i'm gonna just leave this post where it is.
till then,
Marcus.

Cursed.

2009-04-18T03:20:00.004+08:00

RANT ALERT

you know, there's a difference between LEAVING IT AT THE TABLE and BITING PIECES OF THE FOOD IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. of course, never be afraid to flaunt it when its gone, but not when its ongoing. that's just like ridding the evidence in a crime scene! :D

and when the pieces all fall into place, maybe in the later years of your life, you might question yourself where you screwed up. and maybe that road would lead back to me. MAYBE, you were worried about your now. but you know what, it doesn't matter cuz you're rejoicing. My previous post wasn't directed to you, but BE MY GUEST, TAKE OFFENCE IF YOU FEEL AS GUILTY AS IT WAS FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE...

Listening to "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera, i thought. yeah, i sure am more prepared. maybe being ALL BY MYSELF is just another stage that i've gotta go through. after all, you've fucked up my life enough, right? So you just had to fuck it up once more to remind me who fucks it all up. yeaps, thanks. very thoughtful of you. :)

you know, in church i learnt this. Those that curse, will be cursed. maybe i cursed, but not at you. SO................don't be a curse, and maybe you wouldn't be cursed. enjoy your life that you used to live. go ahead and prove to me how much better you could've been if you weren't in a relationship. i just keep wondering, what caused the change. and its just so sad because i wanted to spend it all, on you. even though i was the one who walked away in person, you can just walk away from me if you please. its your call.

love.

me.

Fuck You.

2009-04-17T22:36:00.002+08:00

I'm not the biggest fan of Lily Allen, but when i heard her song "Fuck You" also widely known as "F**k You", i was impressed. She made it sound so happy and gay. So anyways, she talks about George Bush, clearly. And its applicable in many a way. I love her British pronunciation btw!

Your point of view is medieval. :D

So if you haven't heard this seemingly inappropriate track, here it is for your please:

Right. I've got nothing more to say.
xoxo,
Marcus.

It's Alright, It's Okay.

2009-04-17T01:19:00.007+08:00

hello stranger.

let me start this post off by saying: "I'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO SAY!" so its gonna be a long post, as usual. :D anyways, lets start with the light hearted issues before we break into the heavier topic that has been on my mind recently.

I had an outing with my three BFAS (aka. Best Friends At School) on Wednesday!!! Alright, these 3 are becoming my best friends already because they're just an awesome bunch! :D So here are some pictures from the day.

We had dinner at Mr. Curry, and this was what Sebastian and Si'En had! :D The food was scrumptious and we headed to the riverside after that, to listen to songs and take other.....weird....pictures!!!! Moving on!!!

Oh yes, i put the picture below for a reason. See, that helmet of mine is really nice. But we all know school is coming, and Ambassadors are gonna be having recruitments and whatnot's, so i've decided that i'm gonna have a makeover done for my hair! :D Good or bad, you better like it! You'll all get to see it soon!!!

NEXT TOPIC! Gossip Girl's next episode is gonna get really juicy! i really cannot wait for it! WHY?! Georgina Sparks FINALLLLLYYYYYY comes back! In the production still below with Ed Westwick shows us the very talented actress, Michelle Trachtenberg! I know, i can't wait for the 20th of April! :D

AND.... American Idol Season 8 is really getting boring. Don't you think so? Someone once told you that this season would have talents. I guess i was right. However, i have NO idea why the talents didn't make it. ITS RIDICULOUS. Frankie Jordan, Alexis Grace, Joanna Pacitti, Megan Joy. How many talented girls are there in there now? Like Simon said on last night's show, Allison really is the girl's last hope unless Lil' can pull of a powerful R&B Mary J Blige-like song.

if you haven't known, the save was used this week, which means..... yeah. 2 people get eliminated next week. please let it be Anoop because he's so arrogant. obnoxiously conceited idiot. Below is the picture of the 7 finalists at the premiere of 17 Again.

AHHH. America's Next Top Model Cycle 12. Here's another cause for complain. WTH IS WRONG WITH TYRA?!?!? As some of you know, London was one of my favourites because of how amicable she is. But of course, she had to get sent home instead of Aminat. Yes, i did like Aminat but she became so fucking rude in the course of the show! Absurd really. And then there's the weight issue.

THINK: Doesn't plus size conjure up "FAT" in your mind? Yeah. so if they say we're trying to accept plus sized models, i start thinking "IT'S OKAY TO BE BIGGER/FAT AND WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE HOW EVERYONE THINKS". And then we have the judges ultimately eliminating London because of her size. I DO NOT CARE IF SHE'S PUT ON WEIGHT. it can be lost, and if you're so picky, DON'T HAVE PLUS SIZED MODELS ANYMORE! simple right?

and then i pose another question. Tyra's fat. SO? does it mean that she doesn't look presentable? Do you need to be SKINNY to look presentable on a cover? NO. If a girl like Gisele Bundchen is FAT, would you still hire her? OF COURSE RIGHT? why? because its not SIZE, but TALENT. there. talk about ironies and how we wana change the world..... pathetic.

Anyways, ~~i got so caught up in typing that 3 paragraphs above that i forgot to introduce her~~ Allison stepped up her game in this episode! MY BEAUTIFUL DOLL LOOKS FIERRRCCEEEEEEEE! :D muahaha. i really hope to see more from her because she's SO exquisite!

Above is the High School Musical start Ashley Tisdale. And that's her single-album-art for her song: "It's Alright, It's Okay". the song talks about the emotions that occurs after a break-up. But its very applicable in many situations anyways, so i think you should really give it a listen. I am really proud of Ashley because considering she's an artist that rose from Disney, i just KNOW she's gonna do really well from hereon in. So yeah!! :D

this is where my reflection starts:

I was lying in bed last night, lights off. And then the lyrics of the song above, kept running through my mind. You can already guess where this is going. Yes, i'm gonna emphasize on treasuring those you love. i made up my mind about a few things last night. It's really alright that you don't treasure that bond. Its really okay that you're not bothered by it. Myopic, nonchalant, whatsoever, i don't care anymore. So perhaps this is a change in attitude from me.

I used to think that you should ALWAYS be there for someone in case the person turns back and realized what an oversight he/she has made. but what are the chances? how many people are non-egoistic enough to say "i messed up, please help me"? And then there are those who you know are there. But are they REALLY there? or is it just a mirage? a facade that misleads you to put your trust in them? You really don't know until you've been hurt, right?

And then there are those who tend to be so caring, and ever so loving. To what extent are they really true, you may ask. Are they real, genuine in their actions and good deeds? What's in it for them? After all, people do things for purposes right? So what's their motive and outcome? you know, life's really a bitch. you give too much, its wrong. doing too little is wrong too. i'm sorry, but this is the fucked up world we live in. and you just gotta go about life trying to be your best.

and so, you might ask me what's my purpose for blogging about this? And this is my reply: It's never too late to make a change. but that doesn't mean you can take your own time to make amends.

on that note, i wish you a great weekend ahead!

xoxo,
Marcus.

Question Existing.

2009-04-12T03:12:00.010+08:00

so today's post might not make ANY sense. NULL. seriously. so consider it a rant, a deposit of my fragmented mind. so let's begin:

take a look around. do you have people close to you? perhaps. do you have people supporting you morally? definitely. do you know if they will share their roof with you if you're reduced? probably not. do you know their motives? definitely not.

i know this sounds so familiar: you really don't know what you've got until you've lost it....wait, have you ever thought if you ever knew how bad it feels to have lost it, and regret losing it? sadistic, but still. isn't that part and parcel of life? feeling pain? shouldn't we be happy that we fucked up? no, right? and then again, you don't know what you've LOST until you've really lost it. but isn't that really true? right. so why are we punished for making mistakes? after all, its from them that we learn, right? hmmmm.

but really, how many people would stop to give you a second chance? so my question is, do you REALLY know your friends, your lover, your parents, your best friend? you'd probably never find out, not unless your friends are brutally honest and you're totally retarded. don't people do things for purposes? so its a lie that there is no motive. so all our friends do things for motives. they're ALL making use of each other! what a bitchy, backstabbing world! so are we supposed to accept that motives now are classified into GOOD, BAD, and MEDIOCRE? and there again, there are hypocrites. aren't we ALL hypocritical? is it tolerable that we commit the act only by physical err? isn't it bad enough to THINK of backstabbing? but no, we're led to believe its fine as long as its not committed.

and now we're faced with societies and systems that conform us. laws that are written in order to bring about harmony and dispel discord. but really, do we know anything about what we obey? amongst them, many other controversial topics which shall not be discussed here. but why do we obey something we don't condone either? they say "do not smoke here" and yet you do. do they not realise rebellion would up-rise sooner or later?

and so we say we believe. but do you really know what you're reading or choosing to believe in? how can you believe in something such as a law, if you don't know WHY it was written or WHOM it was written by, or WHAT purpose did it evolve from? who are you to subject us to a law, a form that we must conform to.

isn't it ironic that in life we promote harmony and peace but end up fighting wars? isn't the world just messed up? isn't life just a tale, a tall one told to make us believe in something that doesn't exist because we could all jolly well be an experiment of another, under observation. why does the big bang theory not coincide with that of religion and that of evidence? isn't it queer? haven't you not questioned who we are?

never take for granted what you have. what DO we have, really? i don't know, and that's why I'm questioning myself now. do you?

Silver Lining Covered In Gold.

2009-04-11T00:33:00.005+08:00

hello people.

so i don't know if you've heard how badly i've been sunburnt, but yes i've been awfully and ruthlessly been burnt by the sun. always remember, sunscreen and tanning lotion. additionally, if there NO clouds, DON'T TAN OR GO OUT INTO THE SUN. :D

anyways. Marie Digby has a new forthcoming single entitled "Breathing Underwater", and its a nice song to listen to. very light and easy on the ears. the lyrics are interesting actually. meaningful and sweet at times. Here's the youtube video accompanying the song.

Anyways, i dont know how many of you guys have seen the MCYS new "Funeral" advertisement. Yes, the one where the woman gives an eulogy which turns out very sweet. anyways, i've watched it a few times, and it got me laughing the first, and almost sent me to tears as well. its touching and unorthodox, in a manner. so here's the video if you haven't seen it!

alrights. school's in about a weeks' time, and i'm gonna enjoy the remaining days and recover that burnt back of mine! Oh, Gossip Girl is on hiatus until the 20th April. pfffffttttt! ~~fucking hate the stupid breaks~~

till then.
xoxo,
Marcus.

Sucha Big Ego.

2009-04-05T20:42:00.006+08:00

hello my dears.

gosh, i just gotta say that my blogging is really erratic. sometimes, i blog so consecutively. and then there are those times where i dont know what to blog, or i rather not even do so. sometimes, your life takes a road that makes you wonder if you know yourself, or those around you, at all.

AH. you guys all know that school is starting soon. ~~sorry to remind those that hate it~~ i just wanted to show all of you how lovely my timetable is! :D YAYE! oh. click on it to enlarge. and see how many Finance modules i have. it usually starts with an "F". do help me celebrate.

You know, i took this picture below, quite a few months ago. i remember i took 2 shots, each focusing on different things. this happens to focus on the foreground. And as i was starting at it in my photobucket ~~which i must say, i'm SO THANKFUL FOR, because i lost ALL my pictures when my computer crashed.pfft~~ , i really told myself that a bench may look old, ugly, unsturdy. but that doesnt mean it can't serve its purpose.

alike, people may look old, ugly, and unsturdy in personality and nature. i was reading Baoying's blog yesterday. and she said that people don't come with labels. you think you know someone? until you know that person and then again, do you really know them? so i'm talking about trust. or perhaps i'm just talking about finding the right friends. and so, what difference does it make to those you have told, or had? hmm?

okay, enough thinking stuff. Britney Spears did an advertisement for a brand of lingerie (i think), and she looks WHAM-BAMMING in shape! i would really like to say its all photoshopped. but there was a video of her and all. rather silly to slim her down in a poor quality video, eh?

below is the promotional picture for the advertisement. :D

i've been watching Project Runway Season 5. and i really like Kenley. i think she's got a bitchy ignorant personality. but you can't just blame her for it, considering she had and has no one in her life. its just really sad how she grew up, and i think all of us should count our blessings because life's really uncertain, anything might go tomorrow....

And talking about that. Desperate Housewives is taking a fucking long hiatus since last week. It will return on April 19th with its 19th episode. there are about 6 more episodes, and i think Marc Cherry has decided to develop more of Dave's motive and plot. really interesting. :D But all these hiatuses just create more drag and make the fans all so irritated. You lose the plot halfway. pfft.

lastly, i got TWITTER! like finally. :D check it out if you don't know what it is, and follow me: [HERE].

with that, i've come to the end of this post.
xoxo,

[THE PICTURE BELOW IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK BLACK. IT IS NOT A GROUP OF INNUMERABLE DEAD PIXELS ON YOUR MONITER]

opened eyes. gazing into the darkness as they succumbed to the depth. and then. an emission of a spark. it hinted sporadically. a candle on verge of extinguish. its effects through that stained plastic. oh, it amplified. casting its grip over the ceiling. a light so faint. a spectrum, a gleam so weak. aggravation overwhelmed. this, by a blur of vision. a block through the system. not of natural but by choice. as wanderers irises ventured into space, it hit. a sense of home, a sense of want. it settled on hard fact as the sclera saw a well build up. and as truth dawned, it pierced his soul.

that boy. oh yes, he yelped. struggled. viciously, as that darkness ate him up in delusion. as his life had woven his destiny.

Ranty.

2009-03-30T04:09:00.003+08:00

i'm here to rant. rant equates bullshit to one and all, but not me.

perhaps sometimes we set out to do certain things but end up doing others. possible that the routes close down as you animate life according to your "fantastic dream". not all dreams are perfect, you know that right? and sayings may prevail but sometimes once bitten twice never shy. never bite the hand that feeds you unless the hand's always gonna be there. see, there are always WAYS if there is a WILL. but of course, we humans lack willpower, don't we? sad innit?

thinking about why i loved "Painted Windows" by the PCD's whilst almost NO ONE likes it. maybe the lyrics are so haphazard, and its so edgy with an enigma. its that kinda worry that you dont know what life's gonna fuck up. that kinda shit that keeps accumulating in your way at the wrong time. that kinda people that keep fucking up your already fucked up life.

ernest told me (from somewhere) that loving someone is allowing them to fuck up your nicely ordered life. (sorry if i paraphrased wrongly). i wouldn't say that everyone commits such a mistake, but surely, YOUR KIND does. so....go eat some fruit to comfort yourself. :)

lastly, to make this post seem more meaningful, and end it off with a laugh, here's a video! thanks ern, for the link. :D

great, now we're done.
so go fuck yourself because you're useless.

Painted Windows.

2009-03-29T04:31:00.005+08:00

Hello my dears.

here's making this the probable last post for the month! anyways, i decided to do this post at 4.30am, when i saw that Shu Ya asked for the picture of Mao. lol. uhhh, right. so this dates back to Hong Kong again, where we visited Madam Tusade's Museum at The Peak. here are some pictures.

oh yeah, he needs no introduction. :D

SHUS! HERE'S MAO! :D now go compare him with your principal. =X

Uhhh, yeah. this is totally unglamorous! oh well, sorry for killing your eyes. :S

Naomi Campbell. she looked really scary btw, i stared into her eyes... yeah.....

So the PCD's released their Doll Domination 2.0 album a few days back, and on it features the track "Painted Windows" which is totally awesome. and so i decided to give you a stream from youtube.

i really love it, and i hope you did too. you can hear more of Melody on the lead more on this track, which is great. she has that distinct voice. i think Jessica also sang a bit, but i'm not too sure about that. anwyays. here's a download link just in case!:

DOWNLOAD: PAINTED WINDOWS

with that, a great day, and catch you guys soon!

Once A Good Girl Goes Bad...

2009-03-26T19:58:00.007+08:00

hello strangers!

i'm probably doing one of my last updates for the month of March. Its been a tough month honestly. i'm kidding. its been lots of time for myself to get a breather or two. but of course, its been aching to receive my results and choose my....new class. talking about a breather, i've got some pictures of my Hong Kong trip which i've not posted. so the pics in this post will be from HK! :D

Kicking it off, we have KFC. lol, i really didn't know there were different tag-phrases in different countries, because in Singapore, its "Finger Lickin' Good" right? Well i'm sure "Taste The Moment" would still do the zinger justice! yum yum!

Taken at H&M. If you really don't know what H&M is, you should really google it, like right now. :D

Haha, i put this picture below, for only one reason. Don't you just love my helmet.. :D

The two pictures below were taken at the Hong Kong Wetland Park. Something like Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve. it had rained, and it was in the morning. that equates awfully cold. so yeah.

MOVING on to other stuff.... I'm really disappointed with American Idol. And here's why:

After the premature departure of Alexis Grace, it left AI with 7 guys and 3 girls. Its getting really boring because the guys really aren't fantastic despite the judges' raving comments about them. I mean Adam has a good range, Anoop's boring, Matt's rather good, Michael sucks, Scott's boring and blind, Danny's getting complacent, and Kris is just cute. Then there are the ladies. Allison was the only one who sang well cuz Lil' and Megan (my favourite two) failed to impress. I'm just disappointed by them, AND America. And i'm sure Ellen is too. :S

NEXT! Let's give you a performance to watch. You know Rihanna has a wonderful and unique voice. And i've said before that she couldn't sing a good live version of "Disturbia" because its simply too difficult to do the runs and weird freaky stuff the song is supposed to translate.LOL. But she did her another favourite song of mine really well, and perfectly pitched ~~and kinda scary when she does the eye thing, where she opens her eye bigger~~! Here's Rihanna with "Good Girl Gone Bad" on her world tour DVD: Good Girl Gone Bad, which is live in Manchester, UK.

Anyways,lets talk about America's Next Top Model Cycle 12. If you haven't been watching this season of ANTM, lets just show you the opening on the show. Its really impressive what Tyra did to them and changed them up to such 'couture-d' creatures for the opening. Just see what i mean:

Next on the list: Gossip Girl. This is getting plain boring as it is. However, i gotta say i'm still waiting the return of Georgina Sparks. :D I'm sure she'll appear somewhere. This time, to Serena's liking, perhaps. Anyways, the next episode's just as scandalous. Watch the trailer below:

And finally(my last video!), a song that i've been jiving to quite a lot. James Morrison sang this song as a duet with Nelly Furtado. Entitled "Broken Strings", this song's really wonderful because it tells a story. I won't say what i means to me, but what does it mean to YOU. find out by watching the Official Video (because Nelly didn't sing live with James...........) Do enjoy!:

With that, i hope you enjoyed this post full of really, haphazard nonsense. :D catch you guys soon, and have a fantastic March!

xoxo,
Marcus.

Smash Into You.

2009-03-22T04:55:00.003+08:00

Hello people.

its really late, or rather, early in the morning and i'm still awake. i was watching teevee: National Treasure was showing on HBO. anyways. i've been having a Beyonce craze for the past few months ~~i'm still a big fan, somehow....~~ and so i found a song off her album "I Am...Sasha Fierce" which is entitled "Smash Into You". I love this song quite a bit. maybe its the tune, or perhaps its the lyrics. Its very emotional, way more than "If I Were A Boy" or "Halo" was.

So i decided that i should put it for streaming here. From imeem, here's "Smash Into You":

So i hope you liked the song. March is coming to an end and i've only 3 posts, so i'll try to keep em' coming.

xoxo,
Marcus

All The World's A Stage.

2009-03-21T01:19:00.004+08:00

Hello My Dearests,
its been quite a long time since i've updated this space over here. Well, i came back from HK and just didnt exactly have the motivation to blog. The trip was fantastic in every manner. Shopping, eating, relaxation, etc. Anyways, i won't be elaborating on it. Lets do some updates!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 has made its premiere and its a cycle that doesn't seem really fantastic. Anyhoos, i've got 3 images coming up and i like them all. Talking a bit about the girls, my favourites are Celia and London. Celia and Sandra's photo shoot this week was awesome. :D

This is why i love London. Even though i thought she looked slightly bitchy before the competition debuted, i think she's really amicable and smart. She did an awesome job and the picture below is my favourite of last week's shoot! It's such a sexy photo, or so i'm the only one who thinks so. :S

This week, Fo and Aminat did a good job too. I liked how the picture looked so real. I think Fo's really short and Aminat's really quite tall. But we'll see how she uses that to her advantage. She's a nice girl and i wana see her do MORE!!!! MORE GIRL, WORK IT!

MOVING ALONG to music, here's a video that you have to watch because its firstly, by Brandy. We all like her hit single "Right Here (Departed)", which is an awesome track. But she did it even better live! So effortless and almost on pitch throughout the song!

In other music news, we have The Pussycat Dolls with their gonna-be-released album titled "Doll Domination 2.0". This re-release of their album features 4 new songs: Jai Ho, Hush Hush(Remix), Top Of The World and Tainted Glass (If i'm not mistaken). I'm quite excited to hear 2 of them because i've got the other two. :S Below is the album art.

And, before we forget Katy Perry, here's a live version of her song "Thinking Of You" which i absolutely adore and croon to almost everyday. =X oh well, its a nice song and i chose this live version because her vocals are more on-pitched here. Do enjoy!

MOVING ON to television. Gossip Girl has started again! THANK GOD! because its getting juicy, yet again. Below is the commercial for the next episode!

And lastly, here's a picture of Blake Lively and Leighton Meester on the cover of Rolling Stones, eating that ice-cream like true uh...sex icon should. :S Wait... no no no, they're not sex icons, they're just sexy as hell.

ON TO OTHER NEWS, which is boring. Results are out. I didn't do that well. but i shan't complain. This semester brought lots of surprises, and i really hope people would stop thinking that polytechnic is easy. It may be even tougher than JC. [OKAY, IGNORE MY SWEEPING STATEMENT].

other stuff NOT about me? Well, there is a Quintessential English village up for sale. Its not that expensive for those who are really rich. Its just 22.5 million pounds. :D The village is called "Linkenholt" and its about 2000 acres in size. Go google it if you're interested!

MOVIES! do watch Confessions of a Shopaholic, Street Fighter, Dragonball Evolution. But give Watchmen a miss. :D

THATS ALL FOR NOW! see you guys soon
xoxo,
Marcus.

Away...

2009-03-05T02:02:00.003+08:00

Hello Darlings.

its been a teeny while since i last updated my blog. anyways. there are 2 things to state here, right now.

MY COMPUTER CRASHED. so that means that i have lost ALL my information on my old computer. well, i did do some backup, so maybe not all.... but most of my pictures and documents are... well, gone. damnit.

I'M GOING TO HONG KONG LATER! :D yeah, i havent exactly told many people. but yes, its time to unwind. so i'll update this.... fragment of a graveyard, when i return! Meanwhile, miss me oh please.

DO REMEMBER TO WATCH ANTM, DOLLHOUSE, AMERICAN IDOL, ETC! :D

xoxo,

Marcus.

260th, Count Me In.

2009-02-25T02:00:00.004+08:00

Hello Stranger.

i'm gonna be doing a more non-me kinda entry today. A lot has entered my mind recently, and i decided to out-pour my ideas, once and for all. So here they are!

Whitney Houston! We all know that she has been having that long period of comeback ever since her divorce from ex-husband, Bobby Brown. And she has done a couple of live performances over the last year until this. And she's looking fantastic for a 45 year old.... legend! :D And i keep saying: i really can't wait for her album to come out!

Anyways, i've got a video from Pink Panther, one of my favourite funny movies! Oh yeah, i caught the second movie of the Pink Panther, and its not THAT good as the first. but anwyays, its still quirky! Its Steve Martin! Oh well, just watch it already!

I've been talking about this for my last couple of posts. America's Next Top Model Cycle 12! Anyways, Tyra Banks did a photo of herself, which honestly, looks ghastly. i thought it was Leona Lewis when i saw it as a thumbnail. And just look at that eye-liner!

Above is the promotional picture of the girls for the cycle. I cant wait for it to premiere! SO EXCITING!!!! AHHH! what they're wearing looks fantastically gorgeous! If you're wondering, here are some statistics:

ANTM Cycle 12: Premieres 4th March.
Gossip Girl 2: Continues 9th March.
Desperate Housewives 5: Continues 8th March.

I'm really annoyed at how all my shows aren't showing frequently. its so sporadic, and i really dislike it. Sometimes i really wana watch GG on a Tuesday but it doesn't show. WHY?! ARGHHHH!

Adriana Lima has gotten hitched! If you don't know who she is, watch Victoria's Secret and you'll probably know better! :D anyways, she got married to this NBA star who looks really ugly (just look at him! ugh!) :S i mean, Alessandra Ambrosio has better taste. LOL. AHHHH! My hotnesssssss (in the goddess sense) and favourite Alessandra!

Anyways, here is Pink singing "Joyful Joyful" and i was really shocked at this because...its Pink. and i never knew she had such a powerful voice. This was way back then when she had pink hair, evidently. Enjoy! :

My last video today is really cute and fascinating! I found this really weird, but i think it turned out to look cuter than weird. lol. Its the fainting goats! take a look!: (turn your volume up a bit)

:D hope you enjoyed my weird update of it all. anyhoots, i'm left with one paper. and i cant wait for it to end! FRIDAY! FINANCIAL MARKETS & SYSTEMS! ARGHHH! GO DIE! :D so yeah, i'll be free by Friday! do remember to turn your volume down if you watched the goat video.

With that,
xoxo,
Marcus.

Come Late, Come Peace.

2009-02-21T12:02:00.006+08:00

Hello Strangers.

Well, February is seeing its last few days as the month, ending on the 28th. That's a mere 7 days! Right. So, its good to know that i'm done with 2 papers, and have 2 left. Macroeconomics and Financial Markets. I'm so exhausted by the mugging i've been through the last 3-4 days. Its insane how tiring it is to do last minute mugging. Anyhoots, its really comforting to know that i've got only a week left! well, 6 days to be exact. I so cannot wait for this to end!

Anyways, i found this website where we could create words like those, below. Well, actually, i just entered in my blog address and it appeared like that. its a really cool thing, and it has lots of designs. great for my future presents! :D so, go find the website yourself because i might consider giving you a present, just considering!

Kelly Clarkson's album "All I Ever Wanted" leaked yesterday with short clips of it, and the full album leaked today. have yet to hear the full album, but i don't think the clips sound very fantastic. Both ways, i hope it does grow on you, do go get a listen to them! Most of her songs are written by herself, and others like Katy Perry, Kara DioGuardi and Ryan Tedder.

Whilst we are still on music, Alexis Grace's performance on American Idol was stunning. It was so powerful and soulful. :D I'm gonna be watching her throughout the competition! heh.

Yeah, read the ugly-ass title. ANTM Cycle 12 girls have been revealed for a while now, and i dont know, i just dont think its gonna be a fantastic cycle. maybe its still the demoralizing exams mood that's killing my hopes. oh dammmn.

So i dont know if you've noticed that Sony has been marketing a new product. Yeah, its called the Rolly. Its interesting, if you have already watched the clip above. I've not much to say other than its rather pointless. LOL.

Hope you have a great weekend!

xoxo,

Marcus.

Does It, Who's It?

2009-02-19T21:56:00.003+08:00

Does it feel, does it know, does it sense, does it change. one, a two. maybe three. chances, upon seizure caved inward. life, unprecedented. by love, perhaps just as freshly crowned.

cower, search withdal, find, but it'll not appear. because right before you, it lies. an antidote to your pain. shielded by surreality, hidden by false pretenses. once bitten twice shy. not this, it'll never die. given hope, creation of belief's in oneself; far from attainment, further in terms of achievements. maybe time will tell. maybe time will toil. chains will lengthen, ball bearings would cling heavier. metal will cringe as grimaces mark their permanence as a life changes its stance. leaving behind a scarred and painful mould for the next to fit. fitting into the crevices as last imprinted. adaptation to one through the exterior and superficiality. sheer facial value stings less harshly than a word and heart of truth. a brimming cup of love, an exodus and permeation into the very core of thyself. what stands between, one only dislikes. it comes the time to dispel its disgrace and distaste. so hinder its taking to such heterodox. take heed, make deed, sow seeds rightfully deemed.

because,

i don't wana be the one.

Oh My Gawddd.

2009-02-18T02:40:00.003+08:00

OMG PEOPLE!

you gotta watch this. a video i stole from KieWu's blog. i SWEAR its so freaking funny! if you understand Cantonese, its even better. ENJOY!

Permanent Monday.

2009-02-16T22:30:00.009+08:00

HELLO DEAREST PEOPLE!
i have finally decided to do yet another post for this month. however, i realized that we're more than halfway through the month, and this is only my third post to date. hmmmm, i'm getting slower aren't i?

anyways, over the weekend, Ernest and i decided an outing to the zoo. It has been a really long time since i set foot into that place all the way at Mandai. And it has changed so so much! Anyways, for those who haven't been to the zoo before ~~which i'm certain there are~~ yes, here are some pictures!

The Kids Word of the zoo has changed a lot! i remember there used to be this train which would pass KFC and all. but its now retired, and the tracks are let to rest. So anyway, there was this "house" there, which had that wax figure which i sat beside. Genuinely scary because she looked so real from behind! Oh yeah, and the giant cockroach. EWW. i HATE cockroaches.

AHHHH! The Warthog and Babirusa! I was wondering what does "Babirusa" stand for. and Ernest told me its a cross between a pig and a deer. hence, babirusa. Anyways, it is BY FAR one of the ugliest creatures i've seen to date. i mean, even a horseshoe crab looks sexier........ i mean, not that it is sexy at all, but yeah. BACK TO THE TOPIC... the Babirusa has 4 horns. imagine that....or just look at it below. :D

Oh yeah, and the female warthog was staring at me. OMG. so freaky.....

We visited the Australian section, comprising of Wallabies, Kangaroos and Emus. THE WALLABIES WERE AAAAADORABLE! :D so yeah. we also realized that the Emu's ears were really weird. like it looked like it was at the back of the head? hmmmm. so go google that if you're free. :D

All in all, the zoo has really been furnished for the tourists these days, and a trip down to the zoo would make your life in Singapore more interesting. Well, the fact that there are animals like the Babirusa ~~which i never knew,~~ exist,shows you that there is a wealth of knowledge and fun awaiting you! :D

So, the promotional picture for ANTM Cycle 12: Get In The Fold, has come out! And this cycle will see 13 girls again (instead of 14), whereby it will be set in New York City and the international destination this cycle is... BRAZIL! :D yeah, where all our hot models come from!!!!

Anyways, the premiere date has been changed to the 4th of March 2009 instead of the 25th of February. So all you avid ANTM watchers, do take note! Oh, doesn't Tyra look...fatter in the picture? hmmm.

In addition, a new TV series of genre: Science Fiction, has premiered! The name of this series? Dollhouse. I watched the first episode yesterday, and i was really lost. The leading actress, Eliza Dushku is really suave and it seems like its a good series to watch, so i'm adding that to my list! :D
To find out more about Dollhouse, click here.
So i'm sure you guys have heard of how the Circle Line's third stage is gonna open in May 2009. Well, i was intrigued by this and did some research. Did you know that LTA is planning on expanding the MRT System so much so that it would be larger than London's Tube system? Well, lets give you a visual to enable you to compare better.

Above is the current MRT System. As i can count, there are 3 main lines. Below is the prospective MRT system. I cant count how many main lines there are. My apologies. But do take a look at how crazy it would be if LTA were to actually do that by 2040. I wouldn't wana take MRT any longer.....
So it brings me to the closing of my post, where i would wana leave you with a video by the Pussycat Dolls. Their new single, "Bottle Pop" has premiered and its a really hilarious video! The girls look like they're Bollywood dancers or something! go check the video out [HERE] because i cant embed the high def video here. *Click on "watch in high quality"*

I shall end off here, and with that, have a great week ahead! I know i wont, because there are 4 more days to exams!

xoxo,
Marcus.

Untitled, She Spoke.

2009-02-11T21:51:00.006+08:00

And i present to you one of the most honest proses i've written to date. Hope you catch my drift in one paragraph, or another. Here it goes:

Untitled, She Spoke.
As she looked. Blankly stared. Eyes fixated upon the open book. Her mind swirled into a jumble, a deluge of thoughts. Another one. As the words embellished themselves into her mind once again, she heaved a sigh of regret. “Why”, she asked herself. “What was I thinking?!” And as she pondered, lingered at the threshold of doubt. A word. A path. An answer. Had she found, or was she found?

And as the moment faded into time. As the moment recited its victory in which a concoction of likes, lies and lessons saw her life endure. And as the girl, that ‘she’, a small delight, a small terror. She grasped what was in reach – love. In surreal company, a misery that gleamed in honour. What stood in line, she rejoiced for. A dull rainbow, a boring novelty. She wondered ,and wandered down streets in her life - a straight-jacket she never escaped from. Her pretense now faulted. Her life, her soul, her love she never dared challenge. A wick without wax to burn, a life without a heart.

And there stood a many answer that sense didn’t put a finger to. What was the end, as she surrendered in more wet pity. Pleading, for torture? A juncture where words seemed less than credibility proved. A reconnection to the former? Or were formers all a ditto replica of the latter? In life, she put her first foot as front. Risky? Caution? Trust. Faith. Shunned from light, tongue pulled back in remorse and deathly fear. Looming in despair, her shrouded heart smashed when light penetrated. A black room turned white. The awkward silences the pair found present. A sight. A fight. A plight, pathetic.

She slammed it shut. Gushes streamed down in her cascading mind as it hovered over hope, lost. Akin a ship without a sailors, it sinks. Her life without the other, dies.

Together.

2009-02-08T23:26:00.007+08:00

"We Belong Together,

Like the moon and stars in midnight
And we'll be strong forever

Cuz we belong together."

The lyrics? From the song "Together" by Michelle Branch. It may be simplistic, but think about it. simple is good too, right? This song was off the movie soundtrack of The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants 2. And its a really nice song......very Michelle Branch-ish. :D So below is youtube video of the song, with lyrics and weird pictures sometimes. but still, would suffice.

Oh yeah, have i mentioned how UGLY the wordings are above each youtube video now is? OMG, its like the ugliest ass thing ever! Its hideous and pointless! Whatever for?! anyways, here it is.

its been a hectic start to the month of February. Mid February greets my first post of the month as we gear ahead with tests and exams. However, highlights of this month aren't exactly the exams, right? V. Day happens to be really close round the corner, as some of my friend's birthdays are too!

Its KIEWU'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! :D and i wana wish him a fantastic 18th! Even though we're only 2 weeks away from our exams, hope you have a bash of a birthday! And we'll go out after the exams alrights! Tomorrow is also the LAST day of CNY! And, its also my 25% DSS Final Test.

i know, all good things fall on the same day, right? :D Anwyays, today's post was just an update on how my schooling life was. Now that all my projects are over, its time to mug, for exams. Oh, lastly, ANTM Cylce 12 premieres 25th February! :D

With Love,

Marcus.

An Update 2

2009-01-31T20:25:00.004+08:00

So, lets' continue!

In case you never knew, Paris Hilton is branching out into various sources in order to establish a proper source of income. These diversifications include music, perfumes and......TV Shows. Last year, Paris Hilton had a reality show to find a new best friend. It was named: "Paris Hilton: My New BFF". This year, she's up for another ~~since her..."new BFF" left her after all.~~ and is back with: "Paris Hilton's British Best Friend", aka. BBF.

I wonder how far she's gonna go to permutate the B's and F's in that. Oh, and how many cities she's gonna go to in order to find a true best friend. A constant question that popped up in my mind? WHY BRITAIN.....?!

I watched "Inkheart" yesterday, and it was fantastic! Haven't enjoyed such a movie in quite a while. Not to mention its marvelously handpicked actors. :D No, i'm not talking about Brendan Fraser...

So anyways, I'm looking forward to this! "The Pink Panther 2", which would be released in Singapore on 19th March. Well, i laughed my ass off for the first movie, especially during the hamburger pronunciation scene! LOL! Steve Martin is extremely hilarious! :D Have i ever mentioned the similarity of looks between Steve Martin and that of John McCain?! LOL!

Also, since we're on the topic of movies, there's gonna be a Charlie's Angels third movie installment! :D I'm really psyched about this because its probably gonna be a blast! It's in the making this year, so lets hope it comes out next year!

I haven't exactly shared music in a while. So i'm gonna share with you this song by Beyonce. Its entitled "Broken Hearted Girl", which is not her single. Her single is "Halo", which is also great, but i like Broken Hearted Girl, better. So do give it a listen! :D

I've also included a cover version of the song by Rin On The Rox. They're really good, might not shine very well for this song, but they're fantastic harmonizers! so hope you like this cover too! I personally prefer Rin's voice. :D

In addition to this, Kelly Clarkson has released her video to her song "My Life Would Suck Without You". I'm sure most of you would've found out that the song is highly addictive and grows even more on you when as you listen. :D

Hope you liked it! :D With this, i shall end off my long post here!

Lots and lots of love,

Marcus.

An Update 1

2009-01-31T20:03:00.007+08:00

Hello my fellow readers!

i'm here to update my blog, which has been a slight standstill. well, its always been slow, so no complaints here, aite? January has been rather slow for me. I have no idea why, but its been really quite tiresome this month. I'm really looking for things to turn up in February, but i highly doubt so. There's exams next month. :( But still, keeping my hopes up because i should be all optimistic, right?

Below is one of the logos i so happened to have... "designed" for one of my projects, which involved the making up of a taxi company. My inspiration for its tag-line was due to the fact that i have an uncanny fate with taxis. NEVER ABLE TO GET ONE WHEN I WANT TO. hence, the tag-line. :D
Anyways, i wanted to do this write-up on movies! You know how some movies are always to the extremes? Like how "Transformers" was so noisy, and how you didn't know what was happening throughout the whole movie of "The Happening"? Well, here's the tribute to them. :D Posters that SHOULD carry the ACTUAL message, before we watch them in cinemas! :D

Below is one of the shoes that Kayne West designed for LV. I am pleasantly surprised by the colour. :D RED!!!! I love red things, so i was rather glad to see a red pair of shoes, FROM LV. However, i did find it a bit too overdone, especially when it was worn with jeans - which tend to be blue/blackish.

You know they say there's a price to pay, for everything. I guess since fashion is more expensive, What more, LV....

Alright. I'm gonna end this section of my long post today, here! :D Please do continue reading the other section! :D

Eew...

Hello people!

so its been a while since i updated, and since today's the eve of Chinese New Year, i'd like to wish everyone ~~yet again~~, a prosperous new year! may this coming year be benevolent to you :S hahah.

so, i'm sure we all had our very scrumptious reunion dinners and all. Well, let me share a very much to be remembered episode of my Chinese New Year dinner! Oh, it gets a bit long and draggy. Please read this only if you're so so so free! Lets begin:

My reunion dinner this year was booked at a Chinese restaurant somewhere at Bukit Merah, which is also located opposite SGH (near Outram). and it was at a HDB Estate, whereby families would all meet to have their dinners. Hence, parking was a problem. This made my dad round many circles before deciding to park illegally along the road just like many Singaporeans had done.

So, we were walking toward the restaurant when my mom and i spotted a man with his wife walking toward their lorry, with key in hand. This prompted my mom to ask him politely if he was leaving, and he answered affirmatively. We then hurried my dad to start and drive the car over. Meanwhile, the man got into his lorry and started moving off.

My mom and i acted as the barrier to prevent anyone from entering the lot as my dad was just around the bend. HOWEVER, there was a van which just simply encroached my dad's path and started reversing into the lot which my mom and i were in. Startled, my mom and i stood rooted to the ground whereby he continued reversing - almost knocking into us. This caused my mom to alert him that we were right behind, by knocking on his van lightly. He stopped reversing. At the same time, my dad sounded his horn loudly for about, 15 seconds.

My dad then got out of his car and started pleading with the driver of the van, saying that we had spotted it first and we had been waiting in the area for a long time. This fell on deaf ears and in a few seconds, he resumed his reverse. My mom did the same thing again, and knocked his van to alert and warn him we were still behind. This enraged the driver and he came out of his van, with his wife. He was rather rude, but didnt exactly mouth profanities, or probably he did... but i wouldn't know, would i? After all.... I couldn't exactly understand him.

Speaking in Chinese, the man threatened to beat my mother up for knocking his van. My mom responded with a "Come, come beat me!", knowing that he wouldn't, adding "the police is right there! ". And true enough, there was a police car that pulled right behind us. An argument then followed suit, with bullish remarks being shot at my parents. This made me boil with anger as i held my mom back and shouted "Its okay, there are just so many ugly Singaporeans". The man then fired back "you think you very good?!" and i replied "BETTER THAN YOU, FOR SURE!" and he slammed his door shut and continued reversing.

My parents then went over to the policemen and told them briefly our side of the story and we went off looking for another lot. While driving off, we saw the policemen questioning the driver of the van. Well deserved for such a heartless man, who wanted to run us over and beat my mom up. Sigh, what species of humans we have bred....

It is true that our side of the story about the lot being ours, is far-fetched. But still, reversing into a parking lot with 2 people standing in it, is absurd! Clearly, if a driver knocks a person down, they are in the wrong. This case, applies. So that's why my mom and i stood rooted. Secondly, when he threatened to beat my mother up, my mother fired back "come beat me!" knowing that he wouldn't because if he did, he could get charged. So, this scenario of fighting over a parking lot, ended that way.

The aftermath of it was hilarious. My parents both debating why he would've done certain things. My dad saying that we cannot park in the same vicinity because he would puncture our tyres. LOL! Not to add that we were almost half an hour late for our dinner! Let's hope that he learns his lesson though. Singapore really does have ugly Singaporeans. :S

AHHH! so that's the end of my narration. My update ends here i guess! Hope that it wasn't that boring... This week's gonna be tough in school. with so many submissions and presentations! Blarhs! oh well, i wish everyone the best in the following days!

With love,
Marcus.

RESTRAINT

By Marcus Khoo

Words, Actions, Thoughts, Body.
Aren't always worthy, never sturdy.

Faith in which a built of love,

A crack's, to shudder all to loss.

On cusp, on brink it may have been.

A mind, of loyalty all to thee.

Though sticks and stones won't break my bones.

No saying what flowers, yet torns may prove.

A paired, a pack, a clear mind known.

Resent, Restored, it did Resound.

Of actions that consequence a storm,

Not plummeled by a mind, fevered.

When pushed and left alone too much,

A choice, a change, a cumbersomeness.

Though ends may not be on the lines,

Those actions, words speak themselves.

Akin to magic of the truth,

You so do know its bound to youth.

So speakth thy stand to make it real,

Unless it matters not, so let it sail.
A journey not that began itself,

A need to source in "chasity".

Don't Give Up. Never Did, Never Will.

Hello my faithful readers.

[PROBABLE BORING POST AHEAD, READ WITH CAUTION AND DISCRETION]

Been a few days since i last updated. Well, here i am today to update a little bit! Firstly, school's been sucking the life out of me, thanks to the projects, deadlines, test and tonnes and tonnes of stress! so i happened to relax myself over the weekend till i had nothing productive to do, hence, started surfing the net to find out stuff. Entirely random, by the way.

So i found a few things! Below is a wide landscape shot of Mars. Er... Yes, the planet Mars? Its actually rather amazing how dull it looks? But thinking that it used to harbour life perhaps, would be almost impossible judging from the shot (above) taken 2 years ago.

Below is the planet, which you can see at the polar caps, are blue. Scientists actually speculate that its ice? But well, they would never confirm it unless they set foot on the planet. :D Methane has been spotted being released thrice last year i think, which is really interesting because methane is typically released during decomposition...

Moving on from the weird planet, we have a location back here on Earth. In the commune of the Savoie departement, in France we have this place called Tignes. Its rather beautiful and its located in the French Alps! Here's a picture of the Alps, which i almost died in amazement of its sheer serenity. :D

Tomorrow is an important day. 2 reasons. 1 life changing era. 1 new president.

1. Bush steps down from being a lousy President. Thank goodness for it.

2. Obama takes office! :D

so i was surfing the net and remembered that Tyra Banks did a photo-collection for this reason, where she played Obama's wife - Michelle Obama. Its really good, but i don't think they look very alike. so whatever. Below are 2 shots of her!

OH WELL! Its about time that this came! Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year is here! And this year, its the year of the OX! :D i don't get it though, the Chinese character below is also known as "Cow". But cow is the female species of the Bull. then whats an ox? :S okay, pardon my ignorance!!!! heh.

And perhaps its a little too early, but... here's wishing everyone who celebrates this event, a wonderful and prosperous New Year! May blessings flow into your life continuously, and your fulfillment be overflowing for the rest of your life! :D

Adorable aint it, that Ox. I know, its so cute. :D alrights. i guess i shalt end my post right here before i be more of a nag. heh.

With Love,

Marcus.

My Life Would Suck Without You.

AMERICAN IDOL premieres tonight! i really cant wait to see this whole season of AI! After all, there is someone whom i'm really looking forward to see. The new judge, Kara DioGuardi. She's a very talented singer/songwriter. And i've done some research on the lady. She composed songs for Hilary Duff, Katharine McPhee, Kelly Clarkson, The Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Celine Dion, and many more.

but singers alone does not do her justice. Apologize and Stop And Stare was co-written by her. Nick Lachey's What's Left Of Me, David Archuleta's Crush, Kelly Clarkson's Walk Away are just some of the songs written by her. No doubt, she might not be as talented as The Clutch; but give her credit for being so talented as a solo writer!

So, i never really did see how she looked like, until yesterday when i watched an interview online. and i thought, wow. she does look very familiar. Doesn't she look like Katharine McPhee? So here's the comparison. Above is the picture of Kara and below is the one of Katharine. Hmmm. must be the hair, eyes, and bone structure. LOL!

Oh yes, she's quite gorgeous for her age. she's 38, and she can sing! so i decided to find something to hear her voice. so here's it.

AHHH! I'm also looking very forward to watching Red Cliff 2! yes, the second "episode" as they put it. but i dont know china movies that are called "episodes". anyways, the first one was good, and i've heard the second was a smash. :D so... YEAH!

For music, Kelly Clarkson has had her single "My Life Would Suck Without You", leaked! :D finally..... the song isn't the best of her singles to date, but its catchy and very like-able. it grows on you, like many other songs. its fantastic now that i've had it on repeat for so long. :D here's the song in a youtube video! hope you like it!:

The week has been rather rough. Started out with a horrendous Statistics test, which i'd probably funk. uhh, and yeah. got a presentation this Friday. and i'm just dying to keep up because next Tuesday is my macroeconomics test. :D lovely right, poly?

right.. talking about this, the o level results came out this week! Congrats to all the O Level results receivers! and those who didnt do as well, keep working hard! its not the end yeah? :D

alright. that's all for today. catch you guys soon! :D
xoxo,
Marcus.

All I Ever Wanted

2009-01-10T01:47:00.005+08:00

And so it was a few days back that i blogged about Kelly Clarkson and her new single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", that would be released on the 19th of this month! Well, i'm glad to say that the song officially sounds FANTASTIC! :D

how and why? well, basically, Amazon has released a 30second clip. so DO CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND GIVE IT A LISTEN!!

I do have to warn those fans who loved her album "My December". This is mainly due to the fact that some of you guys might not like her old sound. (you know that she was trying to find her own style...) but this is just way back to the pop/rock genre. i still prefer it tough!!

and in addition to that, her new album art has also been released! Her studio album - All I Ever Wanted; is set to be released on the 17th of March 2009, so i'm really looking forward to it just like how those Kelly Clarkson fans out there are! :D I am still really disappointed over BOTH of these pictures tough! whats with them?! lol.

LISTEN HERE!

with that, i conclude this post. on a note that Open House has been fulfilling. lots of talking and interaction. i'm glad that tomorrow is the last day of Open House because its really strenuous! but otherwise, its been wonderful! :D

With Lots Of Love,
Marcus.

as for you, please. i dont know what to do, and what is going on. tell me.

Believer.

When you're at the end of the road, sometimes you tell yourself that you gotta be strong because it wasnt a war you waged, but a lesson of a lifetime.

So, lets be believers today. suprise me.
