2013

My last post was in November 2012. It is end March 2013. Wow.

I am such a hardworking person I deserve an award :-)

Maybe I should get back on track and start blogging again. I remember I used to blog to get things off my mind. It was such a good hobby to have because I wouldn't start blowing my top off everyone that ticked me. I guess as I grow I just also grow into different ways of releasing the pent up stress and anger. I am such a bad person.

These few months.........these 3plus 4 months have not been the easiest for me. I still have my struggles, things that I'd rather keep to myself/people that I am close to. So many things have happened in just a few months (not even more than the fingers on my hand, mind you), it makes me so scared to actually move forward in life because hey, who knows what more life-changing things are gonna happen in the years to come, if so much has happened and changed in just 4 months?

Family........not the ideal family life I would die to have, but I'm still thankful anyway. Just because I still have a roof over my head, I still live with the people I love and care for. Friends, can't say how disappointed I am with myself because I really haven't been the best friend I should be. School. Not that bad a student but the grades have dipped a little since the first semester in RP. CCA. I would say it's the only thing that is keeping me going. Being the Marketing Director of Replug really isn't the simplest job, with so many events currently going on/ are in-planning/ coming up. Too busy but I really am not complaining because it does get my mind off things.

Sometimes I feel like I'm still too young to be dealing with the things that are happening, but then again, I'm going to be 20 this year. No more 1 at the front of my age. Just seems like I'm growing up too fast. To think that I actually wanted to grow up when I was 8 because I thought being a teenager was fun. HELL TO THE NO would I ever want that again if I were to be 8.

Used to blog up my new year resolutions just so I could 'be a better person'. Then realized how bullshit it actually is because I never do keep to them. Shall be realistic and make mental notes to remind myself instead of posting it up so people get to read about how nice I want to become. If I don't follow they'll have reason to say I suck so I might as well not. Ha.

This post is wordy.
I wish I didn't stop blogging. So I could have documented all the events that have happened, and all the meetups and whatnot.

Oh well I did stop anyway so no point being all regretful. Should just start again. :-)

Because I came back after so long, I hope there is still some magic left here. With that in mind, I wish that my life gets a little better; no heartbreaks, happy family and social life, good grades and CCA achievements. I want to manage my time better. I should. Ah. The 1/3 is coming back in 32 days. :-) Till the next time.

Much love xx

1123rd post: Ketchup Catch-up

Too long since I've been here. So much has happened I don't even know when to start. These few months have been crazy (in a good way I'd say). From the MBS show to RCB, then on to FLAME Awards 2012 and then Thunderband Slam where Maybe Tomorrow emerged as finalists..............Wow.

I'd say I achieved quite a lot in these months. Personal achievements la okay. Come to think of it I'd never thought I'd take this step and so many things related to music. :-) Met so many people along this musical journey I never want it to end. Talented people as friends, legends as mentors. WOW.

Too many pictures to slot into this post but I have a paper tomorrow so I am lazy. There I said it. HAHAHAHAHA. Been too long since I've updated so maybe I should slot some pictures in here anyway.

HAHA just went to Facebook to take some pictures but ended up making a timeline of the shows. Previous outings and other shows before this..........please go to Facebook.com/lovejl xx

Marina Bay Sands for Rhythms By the Bay!
Oh wow typing that reminded me of the countless Zaini previews we went. All's good! :-) HAHAHAHA

Reflections Closing Bash @ South Agora with Jammerz Arena :-)

FLAME Awards performing Valerie and Sweet Dreams @ TRCC Theatre!

First time we performed in TRCC's theatre and we had our own holding room to ourselves!!!!!
HAHAHAHA IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT WE WERE LITERALLY JUMPING AND HUGGING EACH OTHER. Not to mention camwhoring. We had a "photoshoot" inside HAHA. If you're wondering who's in Maybe Tomorrow......its Khadijah, Marissa, Shafiq, Dan, Zaim, Hafidz, Chung and I. :-)

Meet the band:

Picture above is the band with TRCC's awesome sound engineers Haffiz and Mark :-) Yan was nowhere to be found!!! Had a great night and the sound was great! Not to mention the food la HAHAHA.

So....we were practicing at Khad's place and look. HAHAHAHA

Maybe Tomorrow's Percussionist and Beatboxer. Hey look! Poorest band award winner HAHAH
Our splash stand is awesome: A stool, some bags, tissue and a drumstick.

All that aside, I've been neglecting my friends these months and I'm absolutely sorry about it....the practices for the shows have definitely taken up a lot of my time. Exam period now, once I'm done I'll call them all up and meet them. Sorry friends. :-(

Feel like I've grown so much these past months. Happy about it but sad that the matters of the heart never fail to fail me. I feel like I've given up on feeling for anyone altogether. Thankful for the bunch of awesome friends I have though, makes life easier. Happy to have my lover with me. And all the other bunnies.

This post is so rojak because its a combination of everything that's happening and how I feel. Rojak. Maybe Tomorrow is rojak too hehehe. Can't explain how happy I am to be working with a bunch of talented musicians. Don't even think I deserve such luck but well no complaints hehehe :-)

Studies wise........I think I'm having a little trouble because I have been getting grades that I dislike. Not too bad but not very good either. Need to score la........ BUCK UP JO.

Happy note: Tiffy's coming back 14th December and I cannot wait to see her!!!!!!!!!!!

Shall end with what I want to do with my life in the next few months:
- Be a better person, temper-wise must maintain
- Do well in school. Work hard play hard.
- Achieve more, musically
- Learn the guitar?????? HAHAHAHA
- MEET UP WITH ALL MY BABIES.
- Grow money on trees so I don't have to be broke_girl@forever.com.

Maybe I should start blogging more. Again. I miss you la blog.
OH YA. The next post could be the pictures Hafidz took and edited of the band.

Ok bye blog I'll see you when I can be arsed to blog again. xx

You know

I miss many people. I miss my friends. Every single one. Especially those I haven't seen in a long while. You guys are still in my heart, no matter whether I'm in yours or not. xx

On holiday

Eons since I've came here. Hahaha okay so.........approx. 4 dys to the official holidays. Although my brain is already on holiday since more than half the UTs are over. 60% clear hehe :-)

 Surprise attack of my face to keep this space alive because my blog probably misses me dearly. Wah pimple damn big. Hahahaha wtf anyway.

Tomorrow's Faith, Farah, Zaim, Chung and Hafidz's show at Wavehouse and then its Mars and Amanda with Deon and Dan on Saturday at SOTA. Hopefully I'll be able to go down on Friday. Will defo be there on Sat because its a weekend.

Life has been kind to me I suppose? Not really a smooth road without any bumps but I guess it kind gets better. Glad I'm stronger now. Really have to thank all that life has given/thrown me. Makes me stronger as an individual. I really, genuinely hope that life will only get better for me, and of course, for the people I love and hold close to my heart.

Time for dinner, then a short nap. Wake up to catch the 9pm Channel 8 show because of Felicia Chin and then read through the 6P for tomorrow's Programming paper. Fingers crossed I'll do well for all papers!!! Will come back with pictures soon. xx
