I haven’t been doing this last week OR the photography thing… urgh, I think the photoblog is dying… need to revivie it.. but hey~ I am thinking of doing this (nearly $2000) photography course that lasts for 24 weeks… 6 months =o and yeah… maybe when I am out of overdraft and see how my finances are like when the time comes… am actually thinking of doing it during the break….. hmmm. Sooo expensive but soo interesting! >_<

Oh. And speaking of finances… anticipated spend this coming for Chinese outing…. $60… that’s how much I spent last time….. but. that was combined on alcohol ($23 – lemon, lime and vodkas >.< + $13 soju!), food ( $4) and $20 for karaoke that I withdrew money and paid for…. >_> (probably soo drunk ><) but it was great time and was worth it!

Hopefully will still be able to get out of this overdraft by November 10.. Oooh, it also coincides with my last exam! I can’t wait for that day… then can’t wait for the 21st (Nov)… when we get our results… for everything (Chinese II and Written Chinese I -__-). Sucks.

But yes.. so close, yet so far! T_T

So Totally Procrastinating! 27 October, 2008

“A kiss isn’t worth anything until you give it to somebody else.”

So I have so totally gone off course anyways when my friend started talking to me on msn lol.. I was cleaning my room/sorting stuff… sooo quite messy my tiny room… should post pics up… but yeah tiny.

Anyways. Whole point of posting…. because I am the queen of procrastination… I saw this on Chantelle’s LJ and wanted to do this, although only a few will be like “friends list”.. I will try and have people that have blogs or something and some of the others will just randomly pick from my offline friends.. specially the people I know that come and read this blog =D So, kind of added incentive.. (so if you wanna be included in the next and very rare meme thingys, make yourself known ) Also I’m doing people I know well and talk to on a regular basis, since well, you kind of have to know this person somewhat well to do this (and also the blurb I just made up and going by Chantelle’s version haha xD)

Select 15 friends (from flist or otherwise.. offline or whatever) and dedicate a song to them that you think they will like and/or relates to them.

The Recommendations……

1. Amanda –> Song: I Love Rock and Roll – Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
   [ My little rock and roll chick... she plays the guitar/bass! ]
2. Garron –> Song: Turning Japanese – The Vapours.
   [ That song title says it all! ^_~ ]
3. Chloe –> Song: Turning Japanese – The Vapours.
   [ Substitute japanesse for Chinese.. in that almost all of her friends are Chinese/Asian.... including her boyf hahaha ily anyways! ♥ and how about that wedding of yours Elaine and I once discussed.. lmao >.< (yeah, I'm not creative with this, but I can't think of any other asian-related song that kinda has the same message... lol and heh, your dscription is the longest! ]
4. Sabrina –> Song: Big Me – Foo Fighters.
   [ Coz she's the freshmaker haha ;P ]
5. Chien Yee –> Song: Work – Jimmy Eat World
   [ Note: This is a good thing btw! =D The thing that really stands out bout her is her continual study and working.. so pretty the song title is really fitting of her! I really wished that I her work ethic! If I did, I would be getting great marks and oh, she really aims high for herself! =D ]
6. Matisse –> Song: You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid – The Offspring and/or Let It Rock – Kevin Rudolf
   [ I wantd a like ROCKY and UPBEAT song for youu... you're like really... upbeat and whatnot.. hehe. But yus. I love those songs too atm haha xD ]
7. Someone –> Hot N Cold – Katy Perry.
   [Damn, sooo indecisive.. when this song came, reminded me of that person straight away.. "Cause you're hot then you're cold // You're yes then you're no // You're in then you're out...." So fitting.
   [ Atm just like thinking of songs that fit ppl... hard! But fun! ^.^]
8. June –> Song: American Woman – Lenny Kravitz and/or She’s A Rebel – GreenDay
   [ Coz she's living it up in NY in the US (jealous ^^) aaand she recently got her tongue pierced! Haha.. ily, June! ♥ ]
   
9. Chris –> Zombie – The Cranberries
   [ Really just he's always up at the most randomiest times and well... its me as well but yeah, up at the time 'zombies' are around.. could find another song that is more realted and such but I'm too lazy lol and this is the first one that came to mind haha xD ]
10. Aaand, lucky laaast: BETH! My santamagic buddy! ^^ –> Song: How Far We’ve Come – Matchbox 20
    [ And just in a general sense.. look how far we've come! Become soo close. Yeah, this like nothing to do with you personally, but yes... soo close! ^^ Which you still haven't come to my apartment, yet! Lol.. I was also thinking of a christmas song but.... couldnt lol. This will do. ]

Part II coming soon (lol), coz I can’t think of a song for the rest of the people; which will be the following 5 people: Chantelle, Winn, Hui Ling, Dawn and Elaine I might even add a few more people

But yes. End of Part I of Song Recommendations for Friends. Been fun but at the same time soo hard to pick songs that are fitting haha.

That’s all for now!

Music Stuff: Recommendations and Whatnot 22 September, 2008

Thought that I would add something different to the mix of my blog posts.. musical recommendations done by the new feature on iTunes.. not sure if this is a good idea but… well sharing is caring? And this could…

(1) save you time from doing the work if you already have and know about the Genius feature?
(2) help you with compiling a playlist if you have similar musical tastes to me?
(3) maybe help you to discover new bands/artists/songs from the song that the playlist was derived from…?

I’m not sure… I’m kind of getting myself confused with all these “maybes” and “possibilities” haha but I think you get what I mean… I wonder if this falls under any copyright laws….? Hopefully not.. well I have like credited it and such.. so, yeah.

But anyways… the playlist:

Song: Thunder by Boys Like Girls (I love this song~!)

1. The Curse of Curves ~ Cute is What We Aim For
2. 4Ever ~ The Veronicas
3. That’s What You Get ~ Paramore
4. Everything’s Magic ~ Angels and Airwaves
5. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me ~ FallOut Boy
6. Only One ~ Yellowcard
7. Just So You Know ~ Jesse McCartney
8. Your Love is A Lie ~ Simple Plan
9. Damn Regret ~ Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
10. Hate (I Really Don’t Like You) ~ Plain White T’s.

So. Also, a little background on the Genius feature…. it is in the new iTunes 8. Pretty much it is a feautre in which you select a song and then click this little button and it will bring up a list of 20 songs that they think go well together, are similar and such. It’s actually pretty good.. I think those above songs actually do go well together coz they’re similar and yeah. I like it! You should give it a try~ you have to have an iTunes account, though but yeah kinda worth it, I guess.. definitely does take the time out of like manually creatig playlists yourself but yeah.. it uses music that you already have though in your library and soo yeah, but hey, that is also what’s great about it, too I guess.

And hey, I just made an entry on something other than my life, haha.. I was kind of thinking maybe people was getting a little bored of hearing about my life and so thought that this would be a good (weekly?) addition to my blog ^^

Tell me your thoughts. I got this idea from Sarai from her “I Love…” posts. =] And something I love is music and so yes. I bring you this~
