Goodbye, 2007

Final day of the year.

*insert something cliche here*

.

On a serious note,


*pulls red carpet out for 2008*


2007 has been reasonably okay but there were definitely some bitchy times. Hope next year's better.

A reason to be jolly

So I clubbed last night after a long hiatus from the clubs and the night started off slowly but got better towards the end. Maison saturday damn empty omgz compared to Thursday.

But I was also the driver last night therefore I couldn't really drink alot so I was reasonably pretty much reserved last night therefore not much expression on my part. Which sucks obviously considering I am a very shy person by nature. *giggles*

So the obvious things to look forward to in the upcoming days would be Christmas, and the New Year. And i haven't even started working or finding a job yet. Damn sad. Another promise broken. I'll mark that in my new year resolution list. How apt the timing of certain things are. Perhaps I could start working next year. Perhaps not.

A lot of my friends are back from overseas and I reckon we should make full use of it and go out as much as possible together. Afterall, it has been a dead many months with very little people to hang out with here when everyone was away. Mini-gathering soon, perhaps?

Going out to shop for Christmas gifts very soon. Another season of splashing the cash. :/





Merry Christmas everyone!



-alexeO-

I'm back (for quite a few days already actually)

I think I lost my ability to stay up late past midnight and wake up extremely late the next day.

T_T

A few hours past midnight, I would become extremely sleepy and tired for some unknown reason. This has never happened before!

Must be the trip. Dammit. How much one week can change a person.


Me and Josiah Ng, Msian world-class track cyclist. *yes my shirt damn ugly i know. no choice. must wear T_T*

Will be back blogging about my little pathetic life soon.

Looking for a template change meanwhile. Suggestions are most welcomed.

Location: Korat, Thailand

From the 8th(today!) to the 15th,





away supporting Malaysia in the 2007 Korat Sea Games.

(with a Malaysian sports supporters association)

*waves Malaysian flag*

please don't ask me why i opted to go for such a trip which would probably be synonymous to strict schedules and various rules which I may not look like the kind who actually follows.

*grumbles*

but if you still insist on asking, the only answer i can think of is that i believe this is certainly something new in my life worth trying. invaluable experience, hopefully!

for those who would miss me(dun deny) when I am away, you can happily browse through my 4-years-worth of archives of this blog via the sidebar to the right. eh not boring one okay. some posts quite interesting.. and if you are the stalker you are, you can actually see how 'different' or 'similar' i was compared to who i am today. weeeeee.

or if that is still insufficient, you can always sms me! i'll try to reply! i think can receive lar in thailand. pre-paid lines got roaming rite. hmmmm.

wahhaha damn perasan.

things i hope wouldn't change when i get back:
1) my skin color - omg got feeling i will turn super dark. hopefully not. (not that it's wrong lol but still!)
2) my bed and pc room - coz i'm a geek.
3) my friends back home - hahaha.

omggggggggggggggggggg to be honest. the thought of traveling with this newly-met bunch of people is pretty scary and intimidating. as many ppl already know, i am a super dependent guy! argh. and if i'm not mistaken, i would be sharing room with a random guy i duno summore. :S

that's not really a bad thing but but but omggg i think i'm actually gonna miss home?? so lame rite. 7-8 days only but missing home. -_-" zzz. nvm.. i'm trying to LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE and take this trip as a pre-melbourne practice trip before i actually fly over to melbourne to complete my university studies in the future.

bwahahaha. hopefully can somewhat train "taking care" of myself for that 7-8 days. (ehh, need to wash own baju one okay. since i am only given like 3(?) pairs of the official t-shirt i have to wear to the sporting events)

*panics*

i don't even know why i am psyching myself the way i am now. i'm thinking far FAR too much. "this would be fun this would be fun"

O_o

oklar.

that's it.

cya all soon.

i'll be back.

no promises of souvenirs sorry. hahaha. but i'll try lar of course.


sawadee kap! *n try to spot me on the TV if possible!! grrr.*

As Promised..



Elliott Yamin performing 'Wait for You'. Recorded by me. Which DOES NOT justify the bad quality terima kasih. From that video you can actually see that he was pretty damn near! O_O

Somewhere in the middle of his performance the rain fell summore. As if being surrounded by crazy teenage fan girls were not enough. Pffft.

*

Remember my 2nd year units which have long and gaya names? I thought it would be nice to share them. Just to give a rough idea to people on what I am/will be studying since no one ever gets it. ZZz. (It is NOT Mass Comm! Arts.. Humanities.. Social Studies.. anything along those lines is what I am actually doing! -_-)

I'll double-major in International Studies and Communication thus the... 'contrast' between some of the units as you can see below.

===

Semester 1 2008

* ENH2407: Authorship and Writing
* INT2040: Globalization and its discontents
* INT2050: Mobile Worlds: Migrants, Refugees and the Politics of Belonging
* WRT2407: Postcolonial and Diasporic Literature

Semester 2 2008

* COM2411: Media, Culture, Power
* COM3409: Media Texts
* INT2060: Global Cultures, Local Traditions: creating and consuming (popular) culture
* JRN2907: Radio and Television Journalism

===

so now you know. not that I am proud of. sounds difficult. very unprepared. first year wasn't exactly a breeze and i wonder how my following 2 years would be like. Hmmmm.

*

So this Saturday I'll be departing from KLIA to Bangkok. Then from Bangkok I will travel by bus some distance away to Korat for the SEA Games! Wuhooo. Malaysia Boleh. I wonder how traveling with the msia supporters association would be like. I wonder strange things like how will I possibly be going to adapt to the strict schedule and all. But one thing's for sure, it is gonna be one hell of an experience! wuhooo.

First time leaving the country with a grp of ppl i don't know (with the exception of my 2 uni mates). Scary. But hope it'll be enjoyable. Hope it doesn't turn out to be like a freaking bootcamp. Oh noez! T.T

*

Alright.

Now you know a little bit more about me.

rawr.

Before I forget,

*yawn* damn sleepy now as i'm typing this.

i just got back from watching elliott yamin, shaggy, and whitney houston do their thing on stage. thanks to that, i can't stop belting the "i will always love you" song now. so she may not currently possess the powerful voice she used to have.. but who cares, she's still a living legend in her own rights and there were glimpses of "the voice" now and then throughout her entire performance.

shaggy funny entertainer. elliott wuhoo. happy for him that he's doing well and being all happy. some of you may know i was rooting for him all the way in american idol season 5. and his voice was really good lar during the concert.

oh, and i got a pretty good view of the concert too. very near elliott during his entire performance. there were also times when whitney and shaggy walked over and i waved and i think they saw me wuhooooo.

i also stood near the backstage tents area so I was damn near shaggy and elliott when they walked past and all warh! hahaha. i duno why not many ppl stood where i stood. nobody knows maybe. my secret location bwahahaha. i tried to spot whitney passing but tak jadi zzzz. I think she got her own personal 6-star backstage tent or something. T_____T

fore-warning: ahead are photos of shit quality bwahaha.


elliott yamin


you can't see it but trust me on this. it IS shaggy.


the stage which is apparently the same stage used in the Live Earth and Tribute to Princess Diana concerts. Brought over from Wembley.

(nothing of whitney because they were very strict on the 'no photography or filming' rule before she came out)

it was the live n loud KL concert in case you are curious.

*_*

*starstrucked*

*rubs stars from eyes*

*

my 'high school friends' celebrated my belated bday for me at TGIF last Friday (haha. the irony, get it? friday's on friday bwahaha). omgz. must stand up on chair and not know how to react when the waiters start chanting and cheering and singing. luckily i didn't get it that bad, i opted to give a speech rather than sing and my speech was a mere sad 5 words - "thank you all for coming." boring alex.

anyway, thanks for that guys.

they recorded the entire thing but i dun think i'm gonna post that up coz i looked like an idiot and looking like an idiot is not the impression i want to give of myself to anyone who reads this blog. so.. no video!

*

this is the part where you can skip coz it's me yapping about my boring university stuff. Again.

So my results for my second semester-first year, were out few days back and I did reasonably well but I am not very satisfied with one of my grades BECAUSE it was not due to my stupidity or incapability but my laziness and procrastination habits that i did not score a grade i aimed for. yes. a distinction gone thanks to me submitting my assignments late resulting in the deduction of ALOT OF MARKS!#!@$@!$!@

I have also chosen my units for my 2nd year first and second semester and they sound all freaking long and gaya hahaha. which probably isn't something i should be happy to look forward to as i learnt that the more the gaya the name of one unit is, the more difficult it is. :(

oh yea, i also need to mention that i have decided to.... change my course!

but nothing significant lar. just from b.communication to b.arts.

first year units entirely the same.. so no hassle there. b.comm is actually b.arts single majoring in comm..

that's one of the factors influencing my change cause i want to DOUBLE MAJOR instead of just majoring in one hence the switch of course. so now you can call me Alex Yeo, Bachelor of Arts, majoring in International Studies and Communication undergraduate.

ho-ho-ho.

*

ok super tired.

wanna sleep soon. computer clock shows 4:27AM and that is relatively earlier than any other days I have been sleeping lol.

unhealthy-nya.

goodnight all.


*...AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, WILL ALWAYS LOOOVEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~~*

*

Edit: A SHORT video of Elliott Yamin singing "Wait for You" I shot during the concert with my very lousy handphone camera:

(omg technical glitch. upload tomorrow. night)
