aloha bubadees!!! i ought to be typing furiously away at my skit script for the freshies in august, but i can't help but indulge myself by reminding myself how things have been for the past weeks.
on the 22nd of May myself, denise, her friend weiyi.. plus amanda's friends wilfred and edwin went to the esply.

why? why the weird... combination? that's because we share the same love...

FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahhhhhh!!! i can't even START on how blown away i was!

the opening song was 'liberi fatali', from ff8. *swoon* it was EXACTLY how i imagined it to be, how i tell myself that it would sound like this if i can ever hear an orchestra-choir combo sing liberi fatali.

by the end of the song i tell myself that even if the rest sucked i'm happy i paid 20 dollars for just liberi fatali XD

but the rest didn't suck at all! well, the soloists kinda did but well, not easy i guess =\ *trying to sound diplomatic* sitting there at the audience seat staring at VJC choir... i reminiscenced the days when i was in choir.

and also the days when i played final fantasy. those happy days.. final fantasy has always been a part of my life, despite my horrible affinity with them (DARN YOU GAME GLITCHES!!). but despite these, i loved final fantasy. their gameplay, their graphics... their music.

yes, i told my mom that if i can take a picture with nobuo uematsu, the composer of all the songs from final fantasy 1 to 11, then my 20 dollars will be well-spent. can you imagine? one guy, composed 11 albums worth of songs. some so beautiful that you feel its emotions, like 'aeris' theme' and 'to zanarkand'. some that became famous, like 'eyes on me' by faye wong. some that makes you smile, like 'chocobo's theme'. some that makes you forget about the world you live in and imagine yourself in the sea-surrounded island, like 'fisherman's horizon'.

arnie roth, the conductor, was a good sport and did quite a good job conducting ^^ at the end, we shouted encore and he came out from backstage again grinning. "i know that you guys want certain encores, and you think that we're going to perform what you think we'll perform."

then someone shouted "ONE WINGED ANGEL!!!!"

arnie roth laughed and said "but i'm told that singaporeans like surprises. so here we go." XD

the encore song was 'terra's theme'. one of my favourite, yet obscure ff songs. i was so touched >.<

then we shouted a second encore and arnie roth came up... with nobuo uematsu! he's soo cute ^^ he took the mic and said 'ni hao' ^^ 'i apologise for my bad english.'

"DAIJOBU DESU!" screamed some fanatic. =P

'i ate chicken rice today. it is... hao ji?'

we were bewildered for a moment... till the audience corrected him, saying it's 'hao chi'.

yes there was a second encore... one winged angel =P (why am i NOT surprised? XD) and uematsu-san stood with the choir to sing ^^ so fun! i got the video of it, but not very clear XD

denise, weiyi and i queuing for a signature =3

yes! the one on the left is arnie roth and the one on the right is uematsu-san! i was so flustered i forgot to shake his hand XD but it's alright =) got his (and arnie roth's) signature on my programme brochure. i'm happy enough =)

so glad that i had the chalet ^^ i had loads of fun really! Being able to spend so much time with dance people is really a joy for me =) we had loads of fun on our own XD ling, jeff, chris and i with glorious pizza hut, the bunch of us scooting to a nearby coffeeshop to watch the champions league finals. (i think... messi from barcelona is cool =3)

then gion, jeff, enxian, jasmine and i played at the pool side, and i realised that i can't... sink.. =(
that seems to imply emptiness inside? like... empty head? >.< there's the bbq with all the fun seniors around ^^ and jeff, kingsley, felicia, meifeng, chris and i having our own fun in triggering insomnia XD

all in all i wanna plan and go for chalet again =D

i've been watching the movie 'the other boelyn girl'. it's based on the history of King Henry VIII. i saw the book before and i WAS tempted to buy it. now that i watched the movie... i'm convinced that i should buy it XD it is a very intriguing movie, so i hope that the book is more so ^^

every week, i'm dancing monday, wednesday, friday. and with performances coming up, it's more frequent. i hope i don't get burnt out and weary from doing what i love. >.<>

i'm glad to say that i see myself putting in more effort to rebuild and improve the friendships i have in church. the past semester i admit, has taken a toll on my friendships. i love to talk to xiao hui and pengbo. recently circumstances led me to try and talk to malcolm too, which has been a pleasant experience so far =)

the foreign feeling is no longer there, but neither am i feeling the homely feeling. i want to do so much more for God, for cindy, for the cell group. but what's done is over. it's time to move on and look forward.

not much time to talk about other stuff, so i'll wrap up.

results. i didn't do very well. it's slightly lower than 3.5. =\ but well, i must jia you next semester. this semester has been tumultous. friendships tested, relationships formed, friendships changing into something of question, more restrictions than ever before since studying in JC. i hope these are real reasons, and not excuses..

lastly, i just want to be silly and post a picture of chris and me.
looking at him makes me happy. ^^
well.. it has GOT TO, or else... there's something wrong in the relationship XD

Words of the *~PaRaNoId QuEEn~*
i'm tired of, and from many things.
i should look onto the one and only for comfort.
