TWILIGHT! The final trailer (:

And there's this twilight trailer spoof i came across. Really funny!

I've been hearing alot about Rihanna. And now, i don't have a good impression of her at all. Firstly, after her performance, she herself not even bothering to wind down the window to say goodbye to her fans is already quite mean. Even if she was rushing off, why can't she just wind down the window? Huh, most probably just afraid someone might throw crap at her.

Then HuiLin's brother went to the hotel. Intercontinental to get her autograph. Not only did she not want to get out of the car till she really has to, she also blatantly ignored her brother and friends and thus, they did not get a autograph nor picture. How freaking mean is that! That's just evil plus she's just a rising star, only even a real big shot like Britney or Madonna. Ain't she afraid she might come off as arrogant? I never thought she was till now and i thought Kanya West was arrogant and all but at least he talked a lil to her brother the other time. She's just plain evil and like doesn't even appreciated her fans. Totally disgusts me.

Decided to upload the video on Youtube as the host instead of Facebook cause the latter was annoying me. So here, Sheralyn, enjoy it (:

Stupid person asked me to stop recording halfway through the song, that's why i had to stop because this was only her second song, didn't care, just continued recording the rest of her performance. Everyone did so too. Lol.
Sorry about the tilting of camera as well, totally forgot i coudn't rotate a video
REHAB

GOOD GIRL GONE BAD

My favourite all time Rihanna song (: My video keeps shaking because half the time through this song i was trying to enjoy it, 1/4 of the time i was recording for memory sake and the last 1/4 of the time i was holding my SLR and looking through the video finder to take pictures of her while holding the video cam steady. This is happening all at one go. Beat that!
UNFAITHFUL

It's really hard to spot her in this video.
S.O.S

Same annoying guy's metronome-like clapping. Super shaky clapping cause i was jumping and clapping at times. Video quality is bad too but i love how the sound quality turned out to be. In the end, i gave up, ended the video halfway, put my SLR on the floor and just jumped and enjoyed myself.
PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC

Oops, super shaky again. But i really like how the sound quality turned out (: I gave up recording halfway and just enjoyed this song she was singing.
SHUT UP AND DRIVE

There's this annoying guy in front of me who seems like this hardcore Rihanna fan who keeps clapping, stupid constant metronome sound. I love how the audience sings this song so loudly but it's hilarious when it comes to the lyrics like 'hate how much i love you girl/boy', no one knows if it's 'boy' or 'girl' because Ne-Yo's suppose to sing some parts. And you can hear Pea's infamous sqeal here. Lol
HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

Good news: I can at least catch the first sneak preview of Twilight when it comes back. I can also go for the Fahrenheit Meet and Greet
Bad news: Still unable to at least see the performance on the 13th cause that's the date i'm flying back from Japan :(

TTTWWWIIILLIIIGGGHHHHTT
It's everywhere, rumours have started flying around on whether it is NC16. I have a bad feeling it's NC16. Btw, Rachel, this bit on my post is dedicated to knock some sense and logic into your brain after reading your post. Why i have that bad feeling? It's because in the States, it's PG 13 and PG13 films in US always comes as a NC16 film in Singapore because Singapore is more strict. I don't wish that Twilight is NC16 too because that'll mean i can't watch it as well which is even more annoying because i'm 3 months away from sweet sixteen! And i told myself i'll check the first sneak preview of Twilight. BOO

So today went to Rulang again to help out. Hakim felt/saw something and was telling Taufik. Freaked out, i told them to shutup or talk in Malay so i can't understand. Argh, even the kids know the place is spooked out 100%. Cleared up the stuff and HEADED TO THE STORE! Couldn't wait to say hi to the POTC chest again because i found out that it was one of the 7 they made to be used in the movie! So ultra cool, i just stood facing the chest, looking at every detail, opening and closing it, staring at the handels and i felt i could do that for a whole day. Just looking at it made me feel like i'm so close to the POTC set and i really miss that so i decided i shall watch POTC 1 tomorrow. Besides the chest, he has this fake compass and Jack Sparrow's pistol. And also the sword which is real from the set and a rifle from the British side. SO COOL, i was just in awe and held on to the rifle and stoned. Totally a happy moment. The only stupid thing was that i didn't bring my SLR which i initially wanted to and didn't manage to take pics of the items. Next time i shall remember to bring my cam.

At the store, funny things happen. Daniel was acting all retarded because he was drunk and Yan filmed it down. So hilarious. And i'm going to help out on Friday, but not in the store but rather, the lane next to my house because Sam's gonna clear out G's mom's house. Yan was so funny.

Yan: His mom so cool right?
Me: ...really?

HAHA, totally hilarious and he went to call his mom but no one answered the phone. Thank goodness. LOL

And G was telling us but kinda meant for me that by now, i should know what i want to be when i grow up. Frankly speaking, i don't know. All i know is that i don't wanna be like just sitting behind a desk, working my ass off with such a miserable pay. I think i wanna go into musicals. But then again, i'm not so sure either. This is so frustrating.

Anyway, G has so many freaking connections, it's so unbelievable. At the prata store while they were having lunch and i was just sucking on my lollipop, he asked what i would really want. My reply? Obviously to meet Johnny Depp in person. I think if i ever met Johnny Depp in person, i'll be too speechless to be standing next to such a bloody freaking awesome(total understatement) to even speak a word. Anyway, he said something like 'remind me again when he comes to Singapore' and had that look on his face like his on to something.

OMG

So i shall end here because this is a total happy post.
Goodbye people, remember to play pet society in Facebook and read www.martinsays.com everyday!

Finally got my Twilight poster displayed, with loads of heart-pain moments. Cause we got the lousier slip in 'frame', super hard to put it in and it creases like mad, each time i slip it in with my father, i'll cringe because it's like forcing the poster down, pressure causing it to have to many folds. But oh well, at least it's up on my wall, near my Sweeney Todd poster. At least now my father has decided not to think of the Twilight poster as an investment because it's filled with obvious folds.

I think we're like starting to collect poster as investments. So far, the originals i have in my family are
-Sweeney Todd
-Indiana Jones
-Twilight
-007
-Some Tom Cruise movie which i totally do not know of that's not really out yet

Anyway check out MARTIN'S BLOG!, love the way he blogs. Super cute

Rihanna's concert was really short. I think concerts nowadays are getting shorter and shorter because artists just anyhow tour once they get famous and they forget about their stamina. They need to work on their stamina first man, like at least hold a full 1 and a half hours of singing and entertaining fans.

Anyway Pea came over after her work to change then we took 16 there. Reached their around 8 plus and went into the stadium. The seats were pretty good, like nothing was obstructing our view. People randomly screamed/shout and i was testing and experimenting with my cam to get the best out of her concert.

Suddenly Britney's Womanizer was on. People started singing, dancing and getting all hyped out. Then came the real thing, Rihanna was on, everyone screamed but it wasn't very loud though, maybe due to the huge area.

Her first song was Disturbia, but distubingly(no pun intended), her mic wasn't working. Like for the whole song she was waiting for another mic while her backup singers sang Disturbia. The worst thing was she didn't even bother to sing Disturbia again and went on to Rehab. Like Disturbia is like the most popular song from her in Singapore now and she just did not sing it again. Oh well.

Some songs me and Pea didn't know so we just stared at the stage. Her hits like SOS, Shut Up and Drive got everyone on their feet dancing, singing, clapping, jumping. I wanted badly to jump for some songs but as i was video-ing i couldn't. Finally i gave up. Put the cam in my bag, slr on the floor and started jumping. It was super fun. I kinda pitied like the 2 girls next to Pea because of her scream. And they were sitting down too, so un-fun and there was this family behind us too, all sitting down. Like that must well don't go, so dumb. Anyway i guess we were blocking their view cause we stood up throughout and jumped, sang(more like screamed out the lyrics), but i had to hold myself back because of the stupid recording.

She sang for less than an hour, so super short. I feel for those who paid over 200 bucks to see her. Since it ended so unexpectedly early, we decided to find where she will exit by. It wasn't that hard, considering the number of people who were crowding around that area. Waited for about 30 mins and the worst thing was, she exited in a car and because the car's windows were tinted, saw someone waving from inside but wasn't too sure, both of us didn't really realise it was her till the car left. ARGH. Then i asked Pea 'was that her car?' and her reply was 'yeah i think so, i saw her hoops and that same hairstyle', my reaction? -.-
RAHH

Anyway she should have been nice and get out of the car to let everyone get a pic or autograph before leaving, that's what BLG would do (: Or at least wind down the stupid window to wave goodbye.

I guess i got quite alright pictures, videos are up on my facebook, lazy to go upload somewhere then post so those who wanna see go view from my profile, those who have no facebook, too bad.

Before she appeared

Her first appearance

Decided to use flash, way easier to take

While singing Umbrella, it's so obvious

Walking everywhere to thank people

How she went off stage

That mini bus is how the dancers and backup singing left

4D anyone? Lol, if i zoom up really closely, i can see the car plate number

I feel miserable.
Even that is an understatement.

I felt all right already, not even trying or attempting to think about how much i’m going to miss out when i leave for Japan this December. What totally triggered it off again was the ad for this meet and greet session with Fahrenheit. No, i’m not really nuts about them. Yes, i just wanna go and meet them, afterall, i was nuts about them for a while just cause one of them can high jump so well.

I can’t believe i’m gonna miss out so much.
1.The NYDS camp
2.I can’t watch the 13th Dec performance, let alone participate!
3.If for some reason i get chosen for the movie mag FiRST for the extremely first sneak preview of Twilight, i might not make it
4.The Fahrenheit meet and greet

Just looking at this list makes me so frustrated. I can’t do anything about it, i want it so badly, yet i can’t have it. Ever felt like you’re so close yet so far to something you want so super badly? Yeah that kinda feeling, if you have not ever felt that way, what i’m gonna say is just wth are you doing on this planet? You’re not even human to begin with.

I don’t even wanna think about the camp, it’s so gonna be damn damn extremely fun with the NYDS people, it just kills me to miss that out. I can like totally hear Beatrice’s voice in my head saying her fav phrase : get over it/deal with it. ARGH
I can’t seem to understand why all these are happening. Could it be bad choices? Extremely bad timing? I know everything happens for a reason, i just can’t seem to see the reason now. Yihan was telling me better things might just happen but i don’t want any better than this. I know i should be happy that i get to go Japan, that any of you who wanna visit Japan would wish you could bash me up to try to get across the message that Japan is the best ever, i just can’t seem to explain why i’m feeling like that. I need NYDS, my life revolves around that, not the other way around.

I.Need.Help.Somebody.To.Talk.To.Anybody.Make.Me.Feel.Better
PLEASE

Sigh

Backtracking, helping out at Rulang on the exact event day with the minister there etc was fun. G made me and Julia ASM (assistant stage manager), i think we did a bad job, well i know i did but i learnt loads from this experience because this is my first time as ASM. 100% pressure is on you because those crew at the same side of the stage as you will rely on you throughout the whole show and you’ll be freaking out when you have no idea wth they’re talking about.

Weird in a bad way stuff happened to Julia that side, don’t wanna elaborate and the show ended about close to 10. I wanted so badly to help them clear up but they were expecting clean up to end around 3,4 am so i couldn’t stay :( Felt really bad just leaving everything to them.

This totally proves that i can sleep anywhere, i was just too lazy to open up my sleeping bag

This prata store earns alot from G

Lol, why can't people scribble something nicer?

Hi Jackie/Jacqueline, i see you

Rachel ah, sigh

Rachel is obsessed with this boy, name's Myer and i'm not looking at the cam, argh, bad habit, i always look next to the lense and not into the lense.

Argh, focus is off once again

So today after lessons, after collecting my Rihanna tickets from Mediacorp, met up with Huilin to go to the National Museum because they were having this exhibition with Johnny Depp. I’ll talk about it more with each picture.

What this is about: What is of interest to the visitor is that the video portraits are looped with no discernable beginning or end, running endlessly as a framed work of art, resulting in the visitor mistaking them for still photographs. It is only through closer inspection that the artist's heightened language of minimal movement, choreographed gesture and precise timing are revealed

Do note that they are actually videos but i can't actually capture vids on my slr so ya, and she's a human btw, she's just super still in the video

This guy laid there so super still, but can see him breathing

Totally forgot it's name but this porcupine can keep really still and move at the choreographed time, so cute

He can keep his eyes open for a really really long time it's scary that he hardly blinks at all and note the position of his fingers/hands, he can keep them so still. No wonder he's the best actor in the world (: He was my motivation to walk in the rain for about 15 mins from cityhall to the museum

I was bored and just playing around with his video portrait

He doesn't really keep still, just a series of movements

All that comes out is H2O. LOL

This is an actress, forgot her name, it totally looks like some painting with all that vibrant colours

Went to another exhibition as well

This really looks like Tessa Tan for those who know who she is. Ironically, this beloings to a series of man with their chosen Vietnam wife

This area of the exhibit is something like, this artist who went to this temple place where in the olden days believe to cure those uncurable esp for mental patients by chaining up someone of better health to the mental one and they do everything in tandem except during sleep which is their only free time away from each other. I can't imagine living my life with a total stranger! The artist took like photographs of pairs who are chained up of the same gender and he manages to capture their emotions really well

I think the guy on the left has a really funny face, i had to take a picture of it

If any of you guys have time, head down to the Nation Museum to see esp the Voom Portraits, it's really cool (:
