Out here, the good girls die.
On moonlit heath and lonesome bankA careless shepherd once would keep They hang us now in Shrewsbury jail And naked to the hangman's noose And sharp the link of life will snap , , For my 21st, I curled my hair. , Anybody wants to go to The Ting Tings concert on the 13th Jan? It is only 50 bucks for students!! Plus it's part of a bigger event called "Big Night Out Singapore 2009", meaning it doesn't just end after the concert, but will last through the night with DJs and all that sort. (Though I am not interested in the after party, just the concert) , what the earth , I haven't really admitted it, but each year the birthday present I always look forward to the most is the one from my brother. Although we are anything but close, his influence over me is undeniable. It ranges from my taste in music (he owns more Garbage and Suede albums than I do), to my favourite shows (The simpsons, etc.). The reason why I am more into speed than stunts on blades was also because I was determined to beat my bro, which never happened even till today. (please take into consideration that my bro is freaking tall and has feet the size of gorillas that requires him to purchase shoes from the states) , , , , I am in the process of packing my room (one of my little endeavors I aim to accomplish during this hols), and here are three random things... , One of the BEST - , A friend wrote a song after being inspired by one of my blog entries (from the old blog that is), he then sent it to me saying it's meant for comfort. As I listened, even before finding out where the inspiration was from, tears flowed as a familiar pang of sadness hit me. The power of music must never be underestimated.
The flocks by moonlight there
And high amongst the glimmering sheep
The dead man stood on air
The whistles blow forlorn
And trains all night groan on the rail
To men that die at morn
The morning clocks will ring
A neck God made for other use
Than strangling in a string
And dead on air will stand
Heels that held up as straight a chap
As treads upon the land

Hello stranger.

Although my mum did mention that whenever she curls her hair, it always straightens back by the next day. Me who inherited mum's stubbornly straight hair is praying the curls are strong enough to go against all biological factors.
The photo above was taken before curling (like duh). See what I mean when I say my hair is too straight and horrendously neat! How on earth did I live with such neat hair for so long?!!! (I suddenly remember someone mentioned before she was not used to me having long hair because I look too neat. I think it's Jas. Right Jas? Was it you?)
Dave (the hairdresser) was really proud of his curls though. He said that unlike most singaporean girls, my hair is naturally thicker and of a better texture (muahaha), therefore able to achieve the messiness that I want. So satisfied he was after the 5 hours long process that he proclaimed my curls to be one of his best works. hoho.
However, please don't judge his work when you see me. By then, my hormones may have already straighten my curls out. In fact, my sides are already looking quite straight.
oh booooo.
Well at least after today's visit to the salon, my hair ego is now sky high! I think I shall make Dave my regular hair stylist! My hair ego is well fed by him.
Oh. and among all my hairstyles, Shayne still prefers me with my straight short hair, which I feel I might just go back to that one fine day. One fine day...
For now, let's approach the new year with thick, messy and curly hair!
Oh yeah.

The last time I raced him was a couple of years back. I was speeding at my top speed but still couldnt catch up. There was then a steep slope with a hump at the bottom, every bladder will know to either slow down or maintain speed. But determined I was to beat him, I accelerated and sped down the slope. Heh. Of course, I flew the moment my wheels hit the hump forcing me into a high jump, BUT I didn't fall. Muahaha. Pro man.
Anyways, the reason for this entry is really because MY BRO JUST GAVE ME MY PRESENT!
A Phil Handsley's Audrey Hepburn painting! This is gonna be my favourite gift without a doubt, not just because it is such a classic, but also because it is from my bro!
Birthday eve was also made good with dinner with the parents. Da Paolo (Il Giardino) never disappoints! Squid Ink Pasta, lots and lots of Foie Gras, Beef Carpaccio, and Cheese Platter makes me one very happy girl. The total bill adds up to over 300bucks though. Hoho. Only when with the parents will I dare to splurge.
Oh wells. Drinks with the girls later!
audrey hepburn totally kicks december's ass

This is the story of a girl, by the name of Shayne.
One day, excited she was as she decided to join a beauty pageant!
Off she went, skipping along to the audition.
Then, she suddenly remembered... the pageant has a talent segment, but.. she doesn't have a talent! *gasp*
"Oh no! What am I gonna do!" She thought to herself.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures!" she said to herself as she decided to pick up a guitar.
But it didn't take long (2 seconds in fact) to realise that she possesses no musical ability whatsoever.
"I'll go to the library for inspiration!" she decided.
She tried searching for books that will help give her a talent...
But instead, she fell off the ladder.
"AHHHH! MY BUM HURTS!"
"ARGH! What am I going to do now!"
"Hold on a moment, Me, Shayne Ong Minzhi is such a pwetty girl, who needs talent! I'll just show my pwetty face!"
Of course, we all know, that certainly did not impress the judges. Not especially when her competitor is..... MISS DEMURE!
Upon setting her eyes on Miss Demure, Shayne exclaimed, "My oh my! I have never seen such beauty in my life!"
And of course, Miss Demure won the pageant.
This came as a blow to Shayne as she turned emo.
But the more she tried to shake off that image of Miss Demure, the more she got depressed. And instead, she found herself fantasizing of being with her....
"NO! I cannot be emo! I need to get up and make friends with Miss Demure!" Shayne thought to herself as she decided to pick herself back up again!
With a great smile on her face, she approached Miss Demure..
And said. "Hi! I am FLOWER GIRL! CAN I BE YOUR BEST FRIEND OH GREAT AND MIGHTY ONE!"
Miss Demure being not only demure, but kind, accepted her as who she is and they became best friends ever since!
And this is the story of how we became best friends.
I should so write a book...

1. If you think I have the most number of books from Jodi Picoult, think again.
Archie comics! I have over a hundred of them, total cost of at least 600bucks. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
2. I could be quite crude in the past...My sweet 16 diary!
All my diaries were named 'Roy' (after Roy Keane)
And the sweetness begins.... 
Hahaha! That phase... oh man. Teenage bopper I was.
3. And this entry(from my poly days), marks the beginning of something.
Although you have ceased to exist, these pieces of paper on which I've recorded our story are evidence of your life. You left solid footprints in the lives of so so many, did you see the crowd that gathered during your funeral? I never did get the chance to tell you this, but I was proud of you for making that decision, really. That was the right thing to do. As for now... thanks for the memories. They were sweet, very sweet. And that is how I will always remember you by :)Once upon a december

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Don't blame me for being slow, I wasn't huge on Snow Patrol, but this song is simply amazing. The cover by Leona Lewis makes my hair stand too, but I'm bigger on this. I would cut off my left leg plus an appendix just to watch them perform this song live. Oh I would I would! sigh. (please do not take that literally)
p/s: I'll pay you 100bucks if this song does not mesmerize you one bit.
pp/s: JUST KIDDING! ha - ha - haoh hello bittersweet december.

(I want to put the song up, but I don't know how to. Then again, copyright issues :/ )What if I told you,
I wish I could paint another picture for your eyes
What if I told you,
They wouldn’t fade, all the memories from our lives
Would that make everything alright
Not everything that happens to you has a reason
The tears you shed is finding a way to heal you
Good night, good night
And all the words we've sown
This song was out in some musical production he did last month. Thanks man, I'm so proud of you! You have such a bright future ahead, even I am excited for you. I shall see you high up there in the marketplace! (because I will be there too! heh)
and thank you.
