Camp, and jealousy

Camp was surprisingly okay.

Well, if you overlook the fact that the food was terrible [[but then again everyone says that I'm horrible when it comes to food, so yeah, you might not want to take my word for it]], the water to bathe was freaking cold, the floor we slept on was super hard, and I had no connection to the outside world.

But unless your living conditions are horrible, it isn't camp. I mean, if you're living in a nice place on a nice comfy bed with hot water and a bathtub and room service, it's more of a holiday, isn't it?

Anyways, we came in third for minicomp. :) Which was what Su Fang and Natalie wanted, so I'm happy too. The present we got was this doll thing hanging from a spring coil. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it's adorable.

We went for this fire prevention course on the second day, which was cool, because I got to use a fire extinguisher. Haha now I sound like such a loser. But whatever, it was fun! :D I also got to call my sister during lunch break, which was like salvation to me. When you eat, sleep, breathe and talk about something for too long a period, your brain melts. Metaphorically, of course. It was a relief to talk to someone who was not part of all the madness.

The most interesting thing that happened during the camp was this big dramaz between the Sec Ones. This girl's mom went to complain about the stuff we did during camp, and this other girl wasn't happy about it. The unhappy kid ended up crying. And then I don't know what happened. Fun, isn't it?

The most interesting thing I learned is that Priscilla thinks that the actor who plays Sylar on Heroes, Zachary Quinto, is hot. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha that guy looks like Rob. Heh, I'm mean. >:)

I think here is where I go, "I would so do it over again", but I can't.


I missed watching TV. Heroes, QAF, whatever.

I just realised that Heroes rips off from many different shows. X-men -- especially the eyes when Issac paints; it's identical to Storm's --, Prison Break [[that what's-that-fat-guy's-name breaking out of that stupid room thing with HRG's help]], CSI [[Sylar and his victims]] and something else that I noted but forgot. It's still good though, which is the scary part.

Hiro is super super super cute!

Ando: Go and talk to yourself.
Hiro: No, you do it. I scare me.

And his flying man thing! ad;lfkajsdfl;kjaf GO HIROOOOOOOOO!


On Monday, I went to City Hall's Robinsons. The cosmetics department there rocks. There was Jeremy's Jean Paul Gaultier cologne ad, Mathias's for Gucci, and the Z Zegna guy who is so hot.


Don't you agree? :D

And they also had like 5 bottles of Eau des Merveilles, the Pegasus edition.

Esther though that Un Jardin Sur Le Nil was better than both Coco Mademoiselle and Eau des Merveilles. Shockinggg. Coco Mademoiselle EDP is super strong. I sprayed one spritz on Esther and I could smell it for so long afterwards. If I have anything to do with it, my next perfume purchase will be that. Yay. :)





And just because I've been so out of touch with everything, it was news to see England out of Euro 08. A draw was all they needed, but it was too hard. Poor things. I'm glad they're out though. I don't need the newspapers talking about them all the freaking time.

WTF Germany. A goaless draw. Ergh. At least they're through though, yay. :D

You know, in camp, one of the things that drove me was that Robin would be back for Wigan right after it, but he's not going to be back until after Sevilla. Ergh. At least he's back training though. Let's hope he gets match fit. Fast.

We have something like 5 midfielders out for Wigan. Cesc, Alex, Flams, Diaby and Gilberto. I wonder who we're going to play. Rosa, Denilson, Diarra and Eboue/Walcott seems likely. But it's only Wigan, so I'm not too worried. If we can't beat Wigan with such a lineup, we should probably forget about the title.

I'm really looking forward to the match. It's been what, 2 weeks since the last Arsenal match? 2 weeks = way too long. I wonder how I'm going to survive the off season. But that's still far away, so whatever!

The festive e-catalogue came out! Whee!






I wonder if the shirts were specially re-arranged for this, or if they're like that usually. If they weren't, these people don't know their numbers. Tsk.


This picture is amusing on so many levels. The guy's not hot [[you'd think that since we're the second richest club financially we'd be able to afford a halfway decent model, right?]], and oh my god, the underwear. Hahahahahahaha. I don't even know why I'm so amused by the underwear, I just am.


And I thought everyone looked adorable in a beanie. Maybe it's just the scary expression though. And yes, you better be ready for the Christmas period Robin! >:(



My sister got 264 for PSLE.

I'm happy for her. I'm just angry at me for being such a fucking idiot. And also by the fact that my sister went from zero to hero in an instant with my parents. She told me that everyone was like, "OMG YOU BEAT BELINDA" like it's really something to be proud of.

No one's telling that to me though, so I suspect that they're trying to protect my fragile ego. I wish I could say that I'd shrug it off if someone told me that, but I can't. I'd probably tell that person to get the fuck out of my face.

At least one good thing's going to come out of this -- my sister's getting a camera! Hopefully she'll be able to push them for the Rebel XTi. But that's hoping for too much. I think I'll settle for one of the cheaper ones. We'll see.

Don't give your heart to anyone

ATTENTION TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS. SEE THAT LITTLE COUNTER UNDER "HITS" ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THIS PAGE? YEAH, THAT TELLS ME EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON MY BLOG. PROBLEM IS, THE NUMBER OF TAGS DOESN'T MATCH UP TO THE NUMBER OF VISITORS. SO EVERYONE, TAG, OKAY? TO THOSE WHO TAG: ILY BB.


So I'm going for camp from 0800 hours on the 2oth to 2000 hours on the 22nd. I counted, it's 60 hours.

How the hell am I going to survive 60 hours without the TV, the com and most importantly, without my goddamned phone. My phone may not be the latest or the prettiest, but it allows me to receive messages, which equals me knowing TEH HEADLINE NEWS!!!!111!!!; make calls -- so if someone in my family wins a million dollars in the lottery, I can jump up and go, "HAHA FUCK YOU I'M LEAVING!!!!" Because with a million dollars I'm going to migrate to another country. Don't get me wrong. I love Singapore a whole lot, there are just some people and things that I would much rather avoid for the time being. Maybe in a few years; and go onto the fucking internet.

Yes, that is the redeeming quality of my phone. The internet. Ahh, the internet. A thing of great beauty. Okay, maybe beauty's not the correct word. Awesomeness would be more fitting. But to say "a thing of great awesomeness" isn't really gramatically correct, and I pride myself on having good grammar. :D Oh, who am I kidding. But you get my point. The interet = the fucking awesome.

The bottom line is that I cannot survive without my phone. Maybe it would be possible, if I had a computer, but without both? *shudders* It's torture. I haven't been without both for .... oh god I can't even remember the last time I was without my phone and a computer. Let's just say it now: Belinda is screwed.

If I do make it through 60 hours without breaking down or throwing a MAJORZ HISSY FITT, I'm going to have a little party to celebrate me going cold turkey. Of course, the party will be me having a 24 hour marathon on the computer! WHOO HOO! :D

[[And talking about the internet, WTF, youtube took off the first season of QAF. Fuck copyrights. Fuck censorship. Fuck homophoia, which leads to the censorship.]]

So, before I go and torture myself, let me enjoy the wonders of the internet. Today's specimen is the Belstaff Fall/Winter 07/08 collection. More specifically, pictures from the show.

Jeremy


Lars



I hate his hair, hahaha.

Mathias




Vincent

Seriously, this show is amazing. And I don't mean the clothes. The only way it could've been more perfect is if Kevin was in it too. And if it were an swimwear show. :)

Some LP because LP = teh awesome.





Best video evaz. Sirsly. The syrup shot, the Projekt Revolution tips, and Phoenix singing? Fantastic! :D


My family really does say the best things ever. So my sister's watching Disney channel, right? Then the Bet On It video comes on. And my dad says, "So gay lah he. Cannot stand this guy." about Zac Efron! I can see how we're related. Just to make it clear, I don't dislike Zac Efron because he looks gay, it's because it's Zac Efron.

I just started watching Heroes Season 1. It's watchable, but I don't have this overwhelming urge to go and watch the next episode and the one after that and the one after that. I think I only got that feeling with Prison Break. Hiro is super cute! Everyone else is just way too angsty. I love the scenes with Hiro. GO HIRO!

Oh, and I just managed to fix a Rubik's Cube for the first time yesterday! Whoo hoo! :D

A picture to end this post off, because it's just that awesome.

The only gay in the village -- Fabregas reveals his penchant for Little Britain and semi-nude X-box sessions
"I like to sit around the house and watch my favourites TV programmes - Lost, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives but I really like playing football on my X-Box."
This made me squeal internally. PRISON BREAK FTW. :D What the fuck at Desperate Housewives though. I think I've watched half an episode of Desperate Housewives in my entire life. I was trying to watch one episode, but I got so bored halfway I switched channels. It wasn't funny, and the characters were full of drama.

On the other hand, Queer As Folk is awesome. Let's count the way that it's awesome, shall we not? :D

1) It's a gay drama serial. And for those who don't enjoy the boy touching, there is a lesbian couple too. Also, as of Season 2 Episode 3, there has been 2 straight sex scenes. So there's something for everybody! :)

2) Brian. Brian is the character everyone loves to hate in early Season 1, since he comes off as a mean, egoistical, vain, self-obsessed, narcissistic, unloving, selfish, promiscuous, drug-taking, cigarette-smoking toot, but as the show progresses, he shows that he's capable of love, and he becomes more... human, if you get what I mean. He's also a total label whore. :D

3) Michael. Michael's the best. He's so lovable, and his love for Brian is heart-wrenching. And his little pout!

4) Brian/Michael. The main thing that makes Brian/Michael so good is how much they love and need each other. In Season 1, Michael breaks up with Dr. David [[whoo hoo!]], which his mom opposes to, because she thinks that Dr. David is good for Michael. She goes to Brian and tells him to give Michael back to David. So Brian does that by pushing Michael away from him and to David, and ends up miserable without his best friend.

He starts hanging out with Ted at Woody's, and while they were talking, he compared Ted to Michael. He realises that Ted sucks compared to Michael, and decides to go hang out at Mel's and Linz's.

There was a quote that went something like this,
Brian: What do we have in common anyways?
Mel: Your lives?
Brian: Aside from that.

Also, Brian was uninterested in all the guys who were hitting on him at the bars when he was separated from Michael. Brian Kinney uninterested in sex! :O Amazing, isn't it? This just goes to show how much they care for each other.

Some quotes because quotes prove everything. :D

Brian: Did you really think you'd be happy in Wisconsin playing the doctor's wife?
Michael: Oregon. Portland's in Oregon.
Brian: Wherever the fuck.
Michael: Maybe that's the problem, I don't know where the fuck I belong.
[[They kiss]]
Brian: There, that's where.

Michael: Look, I meant what I said you didn't have to come. Things have changed, we moved on, it's ok. No demands, no expectations, no regrets.
Brian: Well as long as I'm here we might as well have a good time. Hey, let's get a picture.
Michael: That's for kids.
Brian: Come onnnn Mikey.
Michael: It's stupid.
Brian: It wasn't stupid when we use to lock ourselves up in your room reading Captain Astro and Galaxy Lad and wishing we were invincible like them. And pretending that no earthly force can separate us, like them. And swearing that we'd always be there for each other, like them.


5) Brian/Justin. It's captivating. From the first hook up to Justin "the president of my [[Brian's]] fanclub" to Brian wearing the blood stained scarf under his clothes for 6 weeks.
♥ And it's not like it happened over one episode, or that Brian suddenly became, "OMG JUSTIN ILY LET'S GET MARRIED BB, KK?"

6) Emmett. He's one of my favourite characters in the show. He started off as kind of bland and useless [[You know the feeling you get when you think characters are there just as plot fillers? Yeppeth.]] to me, but he's grown on me since. He's so camp, and I think it's adorable that he calls everyone "darling" and "sweetie". :D And Emmett never gives up on love, even though he hasn't had the best luck with it.

Words can be kinda heavy sometimes. And since pictures tell a thousand words, videos should be better, right?






My sister thinks Hal Sparks [[the actor who plays Michael]] is hot. To be more specific, the hottest man on Earth. Okay okay fine, it was reaaaallly late, and I was forcing it out of her, but whatever, she could've denied it but she didn't! Hah! :D She also dreams about Gale Harold nekkid. [[Note the spelling of naked. ;)]] Late night conversations rock! :D

And here is my sister giving all of us some words of wisdom:
"He enjoys cooking, but he might not be good at it."
http://models.com/model_culture/model_of_week/julien/

Although she can come up with halfway smart things sometimes, she does say some stupid shit. For example, when she dropped her Pegasus TY beanie onto the ledge outside her window, she had to move the TV to get to him. She pushed it and went, "Wow I'm strong. Oh wait, there are rollers." Haha I love my family. :D


PICTURE TIME! :D In addition to Arsenal-Mania, I now spend too much time on modelhommes.com as well! I really should start on my homework. I haven't done anything. D: But anyways, enjoy the gorgeousness!















Heh heh. Notice how Mathias is in the picture but it says Lars on the rack behind him? :D






Let's play Spot Lars! The person who finds Lars first gets a cookie! [[Can't find him? Highlight for answer! He's the one on the far left, looking away from the camera.]]




Beckham the best choice for the Armani underwear ads? *scoffs*








This is Mathias [[yes I kid you not!]] backstage at Galliano. I love the septum. :)


Wow this woman looks short. I think that's how I'll look next to Mathias too. D: But anyways, KEVIN! He's the one in the orange.





My throat's fucking killing me now. And I'm running a temperature too. ): Hope all of you are feeling better than I am.

Linkin Park concert!

Oh my god it was fucking awesome!!!! I knew it was a good idea to get the standing tickets. :D

Sherilyn came over to my house first before we left for the Indoor Stadium [[which was where the FM concert last year was held too, whee]]. There was a huge queue when we got there since queueing started at 7A.M., which kind of sucked.

While in the queue, we had to go to the toilet, and we we running past a bunch of people. Some idiot guy stuck his waterbottle out in front of me so I almost fell. I turned around to glare at him but ended up glaring at some other guy who had this 0.0 face when he saw my >:( face. Haha.

The queue was quite fast. We got inside by 8P.M.. We weren't near the front at all, which sucked. The people in front of us were super tall as well! There was this girl who started off behind Sherilyn, then ended up in front of the both of us! WTF. But her male friend/boyfriend dragged her off to the side after a while. :D

However, after that woman left, four very tall ang moh guys pushed their way in front of us. I think I reached the shoulder of one of them. -.- There were these few ang mohs behind us [[one in Versace specs and a Lacoste shirt!!!!!! I want Versace specs. I'll take Jean Paul Gaultier also though.]], and it turned out that they knew each other! They were talking above our heads. -.- My hair also kept getting stuck in the crook of the elbow of the guy behind me. But he was really nice about it, so yeah. :D

The concert started at around 9P.M.. It was quite amusing because the techies were doing some sort of soundcheck and each time a string was played everyone cheered. At least it wasn't like the Fort Minor concert where this techie [[who was built like Mike]] walked out and everyone went ballistic before they realised it wasn't Mike. Hahaha.

LP opened with Wake/Given Up, which was fun, because everyone was jumping crazy enthusiastic and one guy even tried to mosh before people went >:( at his pushing.

The rest of the set list went:
No More Sorrow
Lying From You
Don't Stay
Somewhere I Belong
From The Inside
Papercut
Mike rappin' before a bit of Petrified/Points Of Authority
In Pieces
Shadow Of The Day
Numb
Pushing Me Away (piano version)
Breaking The Habit
Crawling
The Little Things Give You Away
What I've Done
Faint

And the encore went:
One Step Closer
In The End
Bleed It Out

Chester actually went down into the pit and people started grabbing his broken arm, so he said something to the effect "You guys are ruthless. I'm going to punch the face of the next person who does that when I go down again." Then Mike said, "Would you punch me if I did that?" and "I'll punch your buttocks." Hahahaha Mike and Chester are super cute. :D

And WTF at Mike going "Can you guys understand me?" D-oh. I hope it's not like "Can you guys understand English?" because he should know by now that Singaporeans understand English, even if they don't speak it very well. I think it was more like a "Can you guys comprehend the hard concept I'm about to relate to you?" because after that he was asked people to space out because the people in front were getting squished badly.

There was a break between two songs [[POA and In Pieces, if I'm not wrong, which I very well could be]] , because the sound knob on the guitar wasn't adjusted. Mike said, "at least it's not lip synching." Burn! Hahaha. That aside, there wasn't a lot of crowd interaction, if you don't count directing the mic at the standing peoples.

I think the set was just nice, seeing that there were a lot of older people in the crowd who couldn't take bouncing around for an hour and a half. :P I would've liked more stuff from Reanimation though, and less from MTM. The show seemed kinda short, but it was in reality 90 minutes, so yeah. I would say that we got our money's worth. :)

And some pictures!









The quality's shit, but it's kind of hard to get good pictures when you're jumping and 200 people in front of you are trying to do the same thing. You get the idea though. :)

My calves are aching really badly right because from all the jumping/tip toeing. [[It really really really sucks to be short.]] It was also really sticky and sweaty, but I'd do it all over again. :D



ETA: This is really random, but everyone was like, "CHESTERR." And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Some guy behind me was screaming "CHESTER!!!!" a lot. Hahahaha. I wanted to scream "MIKKEEEE" but then I would be the only one. Boo hoo.

There were also these two girl dressed in yellow shirts and yellow jeans, and both of them had writing on their shirts. I think one of them had "I lost my number, can I have your's?" on it. They were also sitting on some people's shoulders. Lame much?

Reading v Arsenal

THREE-ONE TO THE ARSENAL.











If you couldn't tell, Flams, Aleks and Ade scored. Ade could've easily gotten a hat-trick, if we weren't robbed of that goal by the linesman [[yeah, way to go genius!]], and if he had scored that golden chance he had at the 6th minute.

I can't comment on whether Eboue or [[add other player here]] was shit or not, because I don't seem to remember anything right now. I do remember Cesc pulling what's-his-face's arm and getting that yellow. I was WTF-ing at it, but then I saw this.

It makes more sense now. I mean, what's-his-face didn't do anything that I remember to Cesc. If he had done something, I would've remember his-face, right? It's kind of hilarious now that I think of it, actually. Cesc was practically latching on to that guy's arm like it was a life buoy. Lucky guy. :P

Better Wigan than Aston Villa or Chelsea. Robin's supposed to be back for Wigan too, so yay. :) And speaking of Robin, here's a screencap from... yes you guessed it, A-M! I obviously spend way too much time on A-M.



LINKIN PARK CONCERT LATER. ad;flkajdfl;kadsf Sherilyn's coming with me, yay. :D Jing should've gone too, but she was too broke. Boo for being poor!

I hope the person standing in front of me isn't a foot taller than me or something crazy like that. It's a possibility though. It's not much of an achievement to be 6'2.5, is it? I also hope that the people around me don't smell like BO. But knowing my luck, they probably will.



I love the dance. It's so adorable! :D And the whole thing is love too -- Brian/Justin and Brian/Michael. I must make up my mind over my QAF OTP. Boo hoo.

Hermes

No, I haven't found the formula to get rich quickly so that I can spend 2 million dollars at Hermes. And no, a Birkin did not just fall out of the sky and present itself to me. It's just that I seem to have a special affinity with Hermes today.

So today my sister and my mom went to the hairdresser's. Waiting for someone to get their hair done for an hour is boring, so I went to pick up some magazines. 4 magazines to be exact. And in each and every one of them, there was Mathias. Awesomeness. :)

Anyways, you know how those fashion magazines show you stuff from major designers and then give you the prices? One of the four magazines that I picked up had a one page article of the Kelly Calèche. It was photographed with a mini saddle, a whip and leather gloves. If my memory doesn't fail me, the mini saddle was $6,500, the whip $600 plus, and the gloves $900 plus.

....

WTF. It's not going to matter to your horse whether or not you smack him with an Hermes whip. It's going to hurt the same for him. So why are you getting a $600 whip? You're probably going to drop it in the sand or mud [[Trust me, I've done this millions of times. And once or twice on purpose as well.]], and if you're really lucky, you might place it in your horse's stable, and it might just fall and land in a puddle of pee.

Awesome fun, is it not?

After my mom was done, I went to Popular, and again I picked up a magazine. This one featured a $600 Hermes corkscrew. This is even better than the whip. I mean, sure, go ahead and buy it. Why not use it to open that $5000 wine you have stored in the cellar? It would be horrendous to open that exquisite wine with a $10 corkscrew. I'm shuddering at the thought of that already.

It's really fucking amazing what people will pay for stuff. I think I should brush up on my art and become a famous designer. And then charge people $1000 for cotton underwear.

Because Thomson Plaza is such a boring place, we left to J8. Which is equally as boring, but not as old-fashioned. When we were getting some food, this guy with the orange Hermes shopping bag walked past. I think my heart skipped a beat. Or two. Or ten.

I don't think I was mistaken. You can mistake that gorgeous shade of orange, and I'm pretty darn sure I saw the Hermes logo on it.

Seriously, what is someone who can afford Hermes doing in J8? But I think the more important question is this: How the hell do you afford Hermes? I mean, really afford Hermes and not go into debt over a bag or a saddle or whatever.

Ah, the elusive mystery of the rich peoples. Hopefully that mystery will be unveiled to me one day.


I've also just realised that paying $100 plus for a bottle of fragrance is not normal. Go figure, huh? I've always thought that all fragrances were that expensive. Imagine the shock I got when I saw that the Adidas fragrances [[EDT, 100ml]] were only $14. What an eyeopener.

And on the topic of money, I need a credit card. Here are the things that I will get with a credit card:

1) ATVO. I don't want it anymore, I need it. Maybe not as much as water or air, but it's still pretty important. Just as important as having a TV in my room.

2) QAF -- the complete series. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UX6TK2/ref=pd_cp_d_3/104-8613057-3201539?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=0RYE8GTWGHXFBRYSAPWJ&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=316286001&pf_rd_i=B0000798EY This is just as important for me as ATVO. Why? Because only Season 1 is fully online. There are like, 5 episodes of Season 2 or something like that. Unacceptable.

3)

I saw a guy with the male version of this polo shirt today. Damn it! I swear I'll wear this at least once a week if I get it.

And this is just the stuff off the top of my head. *sigh* Maybe it isn't such a good idea for me to have a credit card, haha.


Yay I shall go and watch QAF now. :D And the more I think of it, the more Hal Sparks looks like Cesc. Not a good image to have while watching an Arsenal match. >.< I'm sorely missing watching Arsenal matches already. The 0-0 draw doesn't count; a game isn't a real game unless you have goals. Maybe I'll go and watch our 7-0 trashing of Slavia Prague. That was fun. :)

It would be fun to do it again to Reading. It's kind of harsh, and I have nothing against Reading, but we really do need to sort out our goal difference. And if it's not enough, we could try for 7 again against Chelsea and Sp*rs! Oh, that would be fucking awesome! :D

Random picspam because I am teh bored.

Hahahahahahah best picture EVER.




Mhm, gorgeous. ♥

But WTF at Lars' polaroid.

Hahahahahahah I think this is the worst picture I've seen of him.






BFFs 4evaz. ♥


No one else makes smoking look this sexy. Guh.








WTF? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Oh Vincent, you slay me. ♥


And as usual, A-M screencaps.





What's a pic!spam if there's no video, right? Yay I make so much sense.

Only watch 0.09 to 2.59. Don't say I didn't warn you. Brian/Michael FTFW.


And because I know my life is much more interesting than the pretty models and Brikey, here's something for you to think about.

So our placements came out today. I got into "my" first choice [[B2, anyone else taking it?]]. Like Jing said, I don't know whether I should be glad or disappointed. I did get into "my" first choice, but it wasn't my choice. I was forced into it. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE my parents? No, I don't think I have.

Nothing academic has been my choice. It wasn't my choice to take Higher Chinese [[which, admittedly, has turned out well, even if I did get a D7 in Term 1]], and it's certainly not my wish to take triple Science. How the fuck am I going to take 3 pure Sciences [[one of which I detest, mainly because I don't fucking understand it]] with Chinese to worry about?

I could give up reading books or playing the guitar or using the com, but I don't want to. It seems kind of inevitable now though. Oh, life, how I love you.
