Firework

The letter I received today calls for a storm of fireworks!

Oh well, not that it's too much but to you, the lady, who almost fucked it all up and had my dough flushing down the drain, hear this:

IN YE FACE, you bitter warlock! God bless your next workmate!

She probably won't know I'm talking about her. Pfft. Waste of space.

That said, it's still not in yet and I'm in dire need of cash to shop FOR the family AND myself.

Hong Kong did suck me dry.

Speaking of which, if you've been following, I did not win the Hummingbird Brand New Star audition. I got Best Performance instead.

How, you ask me? EL.OH.EL I have no idea but I'm sincerely honoured by that title. *curtsies*

So if you have at least, A LITTTTTLEEE TEENYYY WEEENNNYYY bit of interest in music, subscribe, join the mailing list, FB, Twit, Youtube...and try out for the next call, will ya? ;)

You'd be surprised by the amount of satisfaction that you'll gain.

MASSIVE.

So I thank you, you, you, you and you for asking, commenting, liking, unliking, praying, eye-rolling...you guys are awesome and for that...I give you...

FIREWORK.

D'oh. Just leave me alone. I'm a freak like that okay.

NOW, go click like.

Kthanx.

2011 Thus Far...

I haven't been blogging much mainly because:

1) I haven't received the pictures from Hong Kong

2) I've been lazy

3) I've been very, very lazy

It's mid Jan now, a lot has happened and I think I shall at least pen a few words before I...

wait...what was I talking about?

Neh, jokes...I mean I'm really forgetful *don't gimme that look I know you know* and I'm pretty sure I have mild Alzeimer's disease even at such an age. Hence...here's what happened...

Jan 1st - 4th

I started the year in Hong Kong with Linda.

And contrary to what I've been telling everyone that I was going there for a holiday, it's actually...no wait...I went there for a holiday. A holiday with a twist.

I submitted my Youtube video to the Hummingbird Brand New Star audition slightly before Christmas. On 22 December 2010, I received an email saying that I scored a chance to head to Hong Kong for the finals on 2nd Jan.

Stoked.

Honestly, winning isn't on my mind. More like...FORGET IT I WON'T WIN!

The other 13 contestants were way too awesome. It was a mind-blowing experience to get to know them, meet the producers and...sing.

To everyone that watched, clicked like, complimented, critisized, re-watched, re-watched again...Thank You. YOU DUH AWESOME.

To those who haven't, go click now. Slow!

TEEHEE. Kidding. But honestly, thank you. I less than 3 you.

That aside, Renn Zhern asked if I was interested to participate in his music school's concert and perform along, with him on the piano. I said yes, almost immediately. Probably before he even completed his sentence.

He had to transpose the song because...I'm annoying that way.

And we shared the stage yesterday, on 16 Jan, Wisma Bently, with me singing a themesong from a Cantonese drama, Revolving Doors of Vengeance.

Yeah I know right...TVB dramas ALWAYS sound dramatic. It's...a drama. Get it? d^.^b

Watch here...if you want to.

And then leave a comment telling Cheah Renn Zhern the awesome pianist, how fantabulous he was. Or IS. Oh, and also spread some love because he'd be leaving to Tasmania soon to further his studies.

Cheah Renn Zhern. I miss chu, already!!!

The...orchestra.

The score.

The drummer. That made me go...O.O and :O

Jonathan Chew.

Couldn't resist.

A group of very colourful children backed Jonathan up to We Will Rock You. Queen's version.

<3

The average age. Spot the kid on the right.

Drummer boy. Scroll up. Yes, he's the kid in the shades. d^.^b

Bernard. Spanish Eyes.

Munkie, this...is the Suff lookalike with a very lovable daughter. ;)

We Will Rock You!!!!!!

Tan King Hao. The cameraman. Videographer.

You is best.

Study hard.

And study smart.

Come back and I'd be your first ADD patient, aite?

:*

Up, up here we go!

Usually by this time of the year, I'd be babbling about how I failed in all the resolutions made previously. Last year, I only made 1 resolution - to blog more frequently.

Which I did I think. GOOD JOB, PEANUT!

Partially motivated by money because in dire need of cash, I signed up with Nuffnang.

Hello random readers.

Twenty-ten flashed past fantabulously fast.

I can barely remember a single bitter moment (now now, don't jinx it, it's not the end yet).

Okay. I'm just saying, I'm grateful that I've at least done a bit more compared to the past.

- I'm still in the same company (rejoice!)

- I did not break a bone this year

- I made real friends, lost some (no wait, lost one)

- Attended a few weddings/engagements which made me tingle all over with joy *coughs* munkie *coughs*

- Traveled

- Started a Youtube channel (I still can't believe that the views are still climbing, albeit slowly, for my latest video)

- Entered a real recording studio and recorded a brand new demo

and...

I got a deal to fly off again!

*human wave*

New Year this time around is gonna be somewhat quiet. Because I can foresee that I'd be nerve-wracked (and stoked altogether) with the new opportunity. Chances are awfully bleak but oh well, at least I tried.

d^.^b

So to you reading, thank you for reading. Come back everyday so that I can receive my cheque from Nuffnang soon.

May 2010 close with a fucking roar and everyone have a swashbuckling 2011.

I like that word.

P.S - Wish me luck

SIX months

My hair styling went on a long hiatus ever since I returned from Hong Kong in May.

Because I swore it's about time I let it grow and hopefully it'll make me look more like a girl.

WTF. I am one if you're questioning.

And now that I'm heading back to Hong Kong, I can't survive with the horrendous sack of hay that was drooping over my head. Hence, the text to the stylist went somewhat like this:

'Cherry, SOS. Going Hong Kong. Hair damn 7 ugly'.

Cherry's a guy. NO, he's awesome. Shoo!

At this length, he calls it the awkward length.

Which is a really courteous way to say...'do what shit also ugly so don't even bother doing anything'.

So all I could do, was lighten the colour and snip it off a little, then let it grow further.

Before X'mas dinner. I think not smiling makes my face smaller and hence prettier.

d^.^b

In actual fact, it looks like that.

Cherry waxed it up for me, and I thought I looked like Zero from Vampire Knight.

So much for trying to look like a girl.

Guys, I still like you.

Oh and I'd be heading to Hong Kong on Jan 1st till the 4th.

Wish me luck.

And everyone give Linda Chin a pat on the back if you see her on the streets for being such a supportive friend. She didn't have to, really.

Ai Laps Chu!!!

Anndddddd...I'm broke. Someone buy me meals.

Kthanks.

Rocketeer and I'm NOT Spoiled

After about a million tries...

I got one.

Yay?

On a more solemn note, the parents are having a rather fantastic time roaming the streets of Penang then further up north to meet their friends.

Again.

Yeah they're hyper. And happening. And happily retired.

Wait...Mommy's partially retired...but...OH WELL...

I'm glad they're having a good time. REALLY. From the bottom of my little heart.

All those romantic dinners by the beach, the slow drive to the butterfly park, being satiated by the never ending hawker stalls etc...

But honestly, I miss them.

Because...

WHAT AM I GONNA HAVE FOR DINNER NAO?!

Hang on a sec...I'm not spoiled. I just dislike eating out.

*depressingly in denial*

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Because I can now take photographs like this!

And this!

And this!!!

Alright, the caterpillar isn't very Christmas-y after all. But, hey! I risked my life taking it.

It could've farted or spat at me and blind my already partially futile eyes.

Can I now be a NatGeo photographer?

Apparently, caterpillars are as blind as me...and they're a good source of protein. O.o

Whaaa the heck am I talking about. I'm just updating this for the sake of doing so.

Year's closing in, I'm not jinxing the remaining 2010 so I'm keeping mum until the clock strikes 12 to 2011.

But, it's been goo...ok no *shush*

I know. I'm just shallow and superstitious. *flips hair*

Everyone go do something stupid and mindless before we call it a year.

I did.

I became a bear.

HAHHHH...

No but really, the tree's up.

I swear I did not touch a single ornament. Which is the ultimate reason as to why...

It looks fucking pretty.

The leaning tree of Peanutxz.

Video in a bit.

Guess what song? Anyone with the correct guess gets a free Caterpillar.

Apparently...she's 95.

I always believe that my grammama is waaaay older than she is.

You know how people tend to register their kids later than they're supposed to back then.

According to Mommy, popo's NINE-FIVE.

Don't get me wrong, that's a really big number.

But I personally believe she could be a centurion.

For all you know, she probably was a friend of Dumbledore before she came to Malaysia.

Saang Yud Faai Lok, POPO!

And you got it right! I'm Ah San *pats head*

Every wrinkle represents a smile

Now, stop smiling everyone.

Ok, just kidding. This lady only smiles upon request.

One heckuvva diva if you're asking me.

TEEHEE

On a serious note, Secret Recipe should really get someone Chinese literate to partially run their business.

Because to be honest, I think I'd have written better with my left toe.

And the last thing I remember before the day went down the drain.

A guitar, 2 voices, 2.5 hours.

I thank the bacteria that they decided to attack later.
