If your Monday blues still fxcking up your day, then waste 3 minutes of your life watching the fifth installment of UnEdited.

The email for the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) came into my inbox a few hours too late. I couldn't even print out the form to let my parents sign it, I bet I won't see them when I wake up tomorrow. Regardless, one must do what one has to.

(Insert bad ass music here)

And by bad ass music, I think you know what I actually have to do.

Moreover two days isn't long, but the fact that I have to attend (and actually ton, which is to stay awake for hours way past my bedtime) at the Subcomm retreat puzzles me. Yes, I am kinda looking forward to tonning but if I don't dance or have Macky in front of me past midnight, don't expect me to stay awake.

And with my already fxcked up body clock, tonning is the last thing I want. So let's see how long I'll last, then I'll find a nice place to lie and just forget about the world.

Besides, I think I'll be the only Halal meat there.

(Play Halo by Beyoncé)

As in, the only one who won't drink, lah see-rai-uhs-lee.

I'll tweet my adventures, but I might drop by DONT-CHA to drop a few bombs here and there. See how it goes.

The camp is in the wrong timing. Don't them heffas know that I have a million things to do by Friday?!

Sand, Tan and Friends! Yep! After the Week Zero camp, the IIT School (along with the new batch of Freshmen) joined forces and took over Pahlawan Beach! It was UH-MAY-ZING! I think I have so many children now. HAHA.




So now that we've reached Sentosa...


In the sea, we sat in a circle and played games. Losers had to do a forfeit. The game is that everyone must say a number, if at any point in time someone says the same number at the same time, then they have to do a forfeit. In this case...


This was never the way I planned. Not my intention! (NAME THAT TUNE!) I had to do that with a few guys while kissing some girls on their cheeks.

It was fun. HAHA.



OK. I know that's not the most flattering of all photos of me, but I find it cute and funny. And while tanning, Desmond and Jamie decided to drop by.


HAHA. I was already really tanned. Proof?


And this photo is LOOOOOOOOOOONG before the first of the tanning set. HAHA. I was one of the hardcore tanners, lah please.

I swear, everyone was in love with my straw hat (lovingly bought by Amirul!)




Ready? Let's go. HAHA (See how enthu I was? Even brought out my SPIDERMAN picnic mat.)

After that, the whole day was done, my C241 freshies that actually stayed all the way, Bryan and Jun Xiang had dinner with me and Cheryl and the rest of the IITSC gang that stayed at Vivo. Peep the pics!



I'm really glad I have awesome friends and freshies within IIT school. :) And thanks to Nicholas, Atiqah and Cheryl for the images.

I thought my birthday would be a big bomb (the bad kind) but it turned out to be a big bomb (the good kind!) I was dubbed Birthday Boss today. My day has been a good one. A weird, but good one. A true whirlwind of events came by and I just took everything in one step at a time.

The day for me started early, 3 am to be exact, working on my presentations. I swear I thought I was fecked because most of the things I couldn't get myself done. (Oh yes, I had two.)

Initially I felt incompetent for my Communications (CMSK3) presentation because I couldn't get myself in the zone especially after seeing Jotham giving such a relaxed and casual yet serious oral presentation.

When it was my turn I gave it my all and I ended up enjoying my time talking in front of the class. Not bad ah!

Then when CMSK3 was over, we head on over to a lecture hall for our Multimedia Project (MMP1) presentation and my guts were tied up in a knot. I could only hoped waking up at 3 am worked. HAH.

In my new shoes, shirt and tie, a little bit of an old blazer with the same old pants, I felt so confident giving my speech about my project and I felt I nailed it. I loved the look on my classmates and I felt like I finally did the right thing.

HAHA. (Videos will be availiable soon)

Bo, Sarah and Michelle bought me a cake to share with the classmates and I felt so loved! But gusss what as I was gonna blow the candles?

SARAH TRIPPED ON THE STAIRS AND SHE DID A 36o DEGREES! I was so scared for my girl! I ran up to her and thankfully she was okay.


Let's play a game. Who is the lecturer?
(if you know the answer, don't spoil it!)

WOW and that was just in the morning. At night was so much more amazing with well time spent with my family. I'll blog about that later. I'm tired and I need rest from all these celebrations I swear.

From those that were on Facebook, Steph, Irma, Hasri, Syaherah, Nicholas, Adda, Zara, Ismail, Jason (LOL thanks for the Dc3Forever.net dedication), Ili, Abigail, Zara, NUR! (:D:D), Jia Yi (MISS YOU GIRL!) and Zhong Hao not forgetting Timothy, Tian Seng and Rachael thank you so much! (and the many others whose wishes are coming in still!)

Thank you even more to those who sparred a thought and SMS'ed me, waiting up till after midnight. Gosh, I feel loved. HAHA. Thanks Luqman :), Amirul, Aini, Danish, Hazimah, Fariza, Presley (my bro for life? HAHHA), My BBFF :D:D Hairul, Jaye, Joakhim, Farah, Nuruddin, Nadiah, Haiqal (HAHA MUST GO OUT) and Adan, Sargent Tho Zhee Long and many more. Love you guys.

Thanks for the quick song, Hairul. I loved it. And Luqman, think of it this way. You'll always be younger than me. :( And Dom... Thanks for the message. You too are my best friend.

Thanks Presley and Hamid for yesterday's bowling session, and Amber, nice seeing you brother. Its been a while laa!

I can't wait for Wednesday! Day out with Dom! Then Hairul. Then a few weeks later with Amirul and the gang! And then with Joakhim and Zhee Loong! AHHH!

I swear my birthday is always the best (in my mind at least.)

Thanks loves, and thanks to my family too! :D

It was a really long day. I partied like hard, photographed like mad and I fell in love on the dance floor.

The day started with me running off from Chingay rehearsals early. I was with Aini, Jamilah, Jeffrey and Nur. We headed to NP to see Hairul's Silat performance. (If you don't know what Silat is, check out the following videos)

Hairul would take sometime before it was his turn to perform so the five of us decided to go for a photoshoot! HAHA. It was impromptu of course. Ngee Ann Poly's Photography Club hooked us with these awesome photos.


But whilst waiting for them Hairul, I decided to chill at their stage area and this awesome band started playing.


Instantly I fell in love with them. Woah! Well, they're really good! I'm so gonna get their EP. Hit them up on MySpace!

Halfway, Jeffrey left to meet his friends. Then my wristwatch struck two and it was time for Hairul's performance! It was priceless.



But when Hairul's competitor 'killed' him, I was ready to get in the ring to kick his ass, I swear. It felt too real. Especially when your BBFF is slaughtered like that. Ahh, so now you know what it means eh! HAHA.

When Hairul was done and we said our goodbyes, initially, it was planned that we hit Singapore Polytechnic but we were running out of time as a dance competition was gonna be held at Republic Polytechnic (RP). :D

We went to Clementi MRT Station to pick Haiqal up! Jamilah had this thing called the Virtual Barbershop and it was so realistic! All of us took turns to try and we gave so many expressions, I was squirming all around! But Haiqal was the best.


We met up with Jamilah's friends, Wati and Nafisah. Once we reached RP, the dance competition was almost over! But we were lucky enough to catch the winners, FreakZy NutZ as they won first prize! They were amazing!

When they were over, we decided to walk around RP since most of us were RP virgins. RP is so looks so amazing that when we got off the bus, our jaws were literally on the floor!



We continued to peruse the exhibitions. Ahh, connect us!




But I ain't taking photos of em, but I know photos are bound to float around FaceBook. Farah took a lot of photos of me at the dancefloor, but I don't know if I'll get them. I don't really mind if I don't get it, somehow. I even went up on stage for a freestyling dance competition, but that doesn't matter.

I fell in love on the dancefloor. And I giggle like mad when I think about it.

There are just some things better left unsaid... Or UnEdited!

This is part of a new video series (aside from DONT-CHA DOCU) where I go around and the videos are not edited. No intro videos, no background music, no fade out, no usage of iMovie.

These videos are SHORT, less than 5 minutes, sometimes lesser than 3 minutes. It's all in fun.

This is the first episode, and hopefully, you'll laugh as much as I did.

Labels: Site Updates, UnEdited, Videos, YouTube

Watch the video all the way to the end okay! HAHA!

As usual, like last year and the year before, here are the list of things I wish for my upcoming birthday. HAHA. I swear I'm so insane for doing this.

Join the "I WANT BEYONCE IN SINGAPORE" group okay! :D

And as a treat, this year, I won't be showing you guys my favourite scene from Mean Girls, but a special video by Destiny's Child!



EDIT: I had to rush, because I accidentally hit save while I was editing the new layout. I miss my old layout already. It was the best ever vector design ever.

Comment Questions:
1) What do you think of the new layout?
2) Videos? Yes/Yes?
3) Will you get me something for my birthday?

P/S: Thanks Danish for your help! CLICK ON HIS FACE ON THE SIDE!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Sunday night (or Monday morning our time) was the night to go crazy over! It was the MTV Video Music Awards 2008, with host Russel Brand!

I was lucky enough to watch the show LIVE and direct, other than MTV Asia's crappy "same day telecast excuse." I say lucky, because I watched only after Pink's performance.

Britney opened the show. No, she didn't really opened the show, but it was nice to see Britney well, and everybody rooting for her! She looks so amazing but peep the video. She says...


She's so adorable. Britney IS back, y'all! After years of getting nominated and never winning an award, Britney brings home 3 awards for Piece Of Me, Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and the most coveted award yet, Video of the Year!

Although I do have to say that The Ting Tings' Shut Up and Let Me Go should have won the latter category, Britney deserves it because the Piece Of Me was the glimmer of hope that Britney would recover.

Ahh! On with the show!

Rihanna was first to perform with Disturbia, the song that I don't like, but is still stuck in my head. LOL, particularly, the "Bum bum dee bum bum" part, but whatever. Her performance was, in my honest opinion, explosive. Her voice... Not so much. Peep the video. (Click here if you can't see it.)

She still sounds like a mess, but the dancers and her stage presence is on point! I loved her entrance, the use of the florescent lights and many would agree, this is definitely the second coming of Michael Jackson's Thriller, with a little bit more attitude.

Next up was Jonas Brothers. And I shan't waste anymore time on them. Click here if you care.


Lil' Wayne performed what I call a "Collaboration of the Year," well, at least for the VMAs. He performed with Leona Lewis and T-Pain, a medley of songs, Please Don't Let Me Be MisUnderstood, A Mill and (correct me if I'm wrong,) Can't Believe It.

Leona Lewis looked amazing and her singing skills were impeccable! Lil' Wayne also took the classic song and added his rap on it and it fits so perfectly. His rap could be a little bit more better with diction, but I get the overall concept.

I still don't get it why he can't wear his pants properly and not let his pants drop and exposing most of his ass. Oh, crotch grabber much? Next time, please don't scream over Leona's beautiful voice. LOL.

Next up was Pink, and it's been years since I saw her perfom. She performed her new single, So What. Yeah, so what, right? Nah I'm kidding. Respect goes to her for giving a traditional rock performance but also having that whole little musical feeling of walking around and showing the world her Rockstar attitude.

She looks hella sexy too! The blue trench coat and then dropping it off, yeah. Peep the video. (Click here if you can't see it.)



Next up, was a medley by T.I. which featured Rihanna, yet again. Wasn't feeling it too much, so here's the link to watch the performance. T.I. freaking sampled that stupid Chicken Little song. Numa numa yea. Yeah, that song.

Christina Aguilera was up next, and she too performed a medley of her songs. She "reinvented" Genie In A Bottle and sang her new song, Keeps Gettin' Better. Unfortunately, it wasn't getting any better at all.

Her reinvention of her classic was a mess and her new song was alright but somehow I need to listen to it ten more times before actually liking it. And yeah, she looks like Lady Gaga in Storm (from X-men) suit.

Given the circumstances, she is such a better perfomer now. And if you didn't know, she just gave birth last January! Peep the video! (Click here if you can't see it.)

But I really did wish she performed Genie the original way. It had more appeal and honestly, sexier. HAHA. This one... She looked like she was trying too hard. Loved the performance of Keeps Gettin' Better though. The briefcase and office look the dancers had was a nice touch.

Again, given the circumstances, she performs better with the baby outside her womb. She improved a lot since I saw her live last year.

Kid Rock performed All Summer Long with Lil' Wayne. Watch it here, if you want.

Kanye West closed the show with his new song, Love Lockdown from his new album due end of this year. (Click here if you can't see the video)

I have mixed feelings about this performance. I kinda like the song, but the performance was more of a light show than an actual concert show, you know. Though... The light effects are AMAZING. Whatever, he's coming to Singapore soon, hopefully I can go watch him then. :D




To be honest, I didn't know Paramore could rock out like that! I LOVE THEM NOW. UH-MAY-ZING. This is their first ever VMA performance and how could I have missed it! Hayley rocked the stage with Misery Business. Oh the guitar break was madness.

So is it the best VMA show ever? Not really. It's the most creative though, in a sense, it was held at Paramount Studios instead of an actual Arena or Concert Theatres so that gave them a lot of room to hold new types of stage and design. Britney's bomb which was last year's VMA at Las Vegas - yeah, THAT was the worst VMA ever.

The MTV Video Music Awards 2008 will premiere in Singapore on Starhub Channel 20 tonight at 9.30 pm.

Comment questions:
1) Rihanna's performance, good or bad?
2) What was your favourite performance?
3) Should Britney actually perform this year?
4) Do you agree that Christina looks like Lady Gaga?
5) Kanye's light show. Love it or hate it?
