You guys must be sick of hearing me promoting my 100 Chairs event, but no choice dearies... I will still be writing about it till it ends, and that means at least another 2 weeks from now.
So, what is this event about?
100 Chairs,
100 Youth Artists,
100 Channels of Blessings,
100% Visual Experience
100 Chairs is a fully youth run event organized by *scape, aimed at fostering youth creativity and promoting the arts as a platform for youths to contribute to the community.
Artists will be invited to unleash their creativity and paint 100 wooden chairs, which will be auctioned off and proceeds from the auction will go to a charitable organisation.
The 100 chairs will be displayed at *scape Youth Park from the launch cum live auction day on 3rd February 2007 till 11th February 2007.
On the event day, there will be on-site LIVE Auctions accompanied by fringe performances [bands, dance performance, fashion and prizes] at *scape Youth Park.

The bid starts from $15 per chair... great investment for cutie chairs *yeah

More poses, especially on Cherie who was looking for inspiration haha
The Charles & Keith chairs... corporate adopters

Instead, I spent my whole day at National Youth Centre b'coz today was the starting of our Painting Season *yeay yeay yeay*. From taking cab to get to NYC *aiya...too tired to wake up on time* and finally after spending 12 hours there, I got to take the train back to hostel.

Gosh, been a freakin' busy week...doing my Final Year Project which finally sees light at the end of the dark tunnel *what a long wait for you to come...
And Blogger.com isn't doing a favour too...I can't upload pics when they say it tells you 1 million stories...
Grumpy me isn't helping either...and I feel bad for not being a more positive person and released my 'anger' to those who care about me...
Yay...to Johor and more specifically to Pekan Nanas, Johor, Malaysia.
Sharon and I decided to stay over at Phoebe's place after spending 5 hours in City Square mall and around 3 hours of travelling from Singapore to Johor *gosh..scary!
12.00: Leave hostel and wait for the bus to Boon Lay 13.15: Arrive at Singapore checkpoint *haha..smooth sailing and short queue line 13.30: Arrive at Johor checkpoint *What? the queue was so long that the people were standing under the sun alrd. 14.05: Hungry hungry and we're still in the midst of nowhere *aihh.. 14.30: Argh..almost explode liao... *bonk bonk 15.05: Finally..finally... we passed the counter *they should have made more gates n barriers or else the queue lines are not clear and people just cut the queue..huh!
Afterwhich, we met Pheebs at Popular and went for lunch or breakfast or tea time. I chose mushroom chicken hotplate noodles which cost me merely RM5.25 *hahaha laugh in happiness. I feel like I want to eat as much as possible... ice-cream, brownies, cakes, sushi, etc.
It was planned to be a shopping spree trip, so I really did buy some things:
Black shirt with some print and embroidery on it for RM 54 *awh..I took less than 5 minutes to buy this. It was supposed to be Sharon's make-over session, but in the end I ended up trying the shirt and I like it.
A pair of black flat shoes for RM 39.90 *again..haha shoes maniac.
Sushi for early dinner at 6pm. RM 15/person haha
Snacks and choco for RM 20
Total spent: around S$50-60 for 2 plastic bags and full stomach *wakaka
Spending our night at Pheeb's home was great. I felt at home again. Looking at their sibling's relationship was really fun. Their parents were very nice too. I really should go home for Chinese New Year.. hm.. missing homeeee....
But the trip back to Singapore was another long hours. We waited for one hour for the express bus to Larkin from Pekan Nenas and the trip took us around 45-50 minutes. To make it worst, the aircon was not really functioning and the sleepy me had to stand for 3/4 of the trip *hehe...cool experience tho.
Once we arrived at Larkin, the queue for bus 170 to Singapore was super long, it was more than 10 metres. But we managed to get into the crampy bus and so again, we had to stand. The little girl beside me who sat on the deck inside the bus just couldn't stop chirping*oh la la... not that I don't like kids, but this one was too much to bear haha. To make it short, we entertained ourselves with our Muruku fish snacks and rehearsing @ dances, from Sex bombs to Together Again *lol.
So, in total we spent 9 hours on travelling, 5 hours at the mall and 1 night at Phoebe's home.
Hell yeah, I am contented with what I had inside the plastic bags on my hands despite the 9-hour travelling time. Am I easily contented as Sharon said? hee....dun care.
Hope you guys all had a wonderful year ahead k!
ps: Rumie is back hohoho pps: Life goes on! ppps: Yeah, I received a card email from my Japanese friend....happy ^^
So, let's welcome the lucky number fiVe *what a random thing to do..
5 New Year Resolution:
Wanna be a better person [the same resolution since the year 2000]
Live a healthier lifestyle [hard but well...I'll try. Dance more @ dances haha]
Get ready for my future [plan plan plan: exchange, work, National Support Team, International Congress, get married?]
Family and friends as my two most important assets [A lot of times I am caught up in my own world... will try my very best not to. If you saw me, please say Hi too]
Be happy!
5 things that make me happy
Gathering and sharing sessions with friends and family. Full of stories, juicy gossips n news, tricky games and updates.
I like surprises..good ones I mean. Not bad news or any last minute fire-fighting rescue team
Good food ~ Spicy, soupy, yummy. I love choco n ice-cream too wakaka. A life in heaven.
Meeting and interacting with people. I can't stand desk-job, it bores me to death, I need to go out and meet people
When the people that I care are happy too... so glad and blessed!
5 things that frustrate me [and possibly piss me off]
Indecisiveness - yes for yes, no for no. Be sure of what you want, don't just let other people control you.
Too much unnecessary crap - Cut the crap, listen to others, avoid repetition as not everyone has a lot of free time to hear everything also. I know we're all smart and thus we have alot of things to say, but please... at times, it is really not necessary
Too many red tapes or formalities *arghh.... just let me do it before I lost my passion haha. Rules are meant to be broken too
When things do not work the way I plan or want it to be. Guess everybody will feel the same too
Irresponsibility. Walk the talk. Do not runaway. Don't promise if you couldn't put your best effort. Don't say yes when you don't mean it. Be committed to what you said, promised and committed
5 things that make me cry
When I think I failed or screwed up. When I can do much better than what I actually performed. The feeling is unbearable at times and s*cky to the max.
Sad, touching, inspirational movies/songs or those with memories *aihh
Emotional emptiness or losing something that is so precious to me
Too happy and excited over something that I laugh uncontrollably or just tears of happiness
Garlic and spicy spices on my eyes haha
So, make the most out of your life k!
Happy New Year once again.. Akimashite Omedetto Gozaimasu ^^
