Scary Movie 4, Natalie Dessay

today i went out with the class!

had lunch at cafe cartel. lousy and slow service. the staff aren't alert enough. i wonder why. and they didn't look very busy. hmm.

then we caught Scary Movie 4! hahaha it was very funny, just that there were too many crude sexual jokes for my liking. i miss the michael jackson scene from Scary Movie 3. oh Ju On really looked the part. i realised that when i was telling tracy and joanne that the scene's from ju on, i pronounced the name as JU OON. oh noo haha. oops.

then we went walking around in HMV. oh i'm very happy, i bought Amelie DVD and Beetlejuice DVD!! FINALLY got beetlejuice. my favourit-est childhood movie! then i went to thomson plaza and bought my Devil Beside You VCD!! WOOHOO!! hui lin is a happy happy girl :).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

oh anyway, my 2nd bro intro-ed me to this french opera singer called Natalie Dessay. apparantly she's a french national icon. her voice is stuck in my head. LOVED IT. let me share 3 videos of her with you:


in this one, she's a doll. very cute. and very nice voice. and she was PREGNANT. omg. and her voice was just so beautiful. good acting. simply lovely :). 'Les oiseaux dans la charmille' from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann. she will start singing after a minute.

Natalie Dessay performs "Der Hölle Rache (Queen of the Night)" from Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte." Paris 2001. you will probably know this one.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02yf6RHIQjQ


the same song as the first video. except it's a different production and the interpretation by the director seems different. she's just as lovely as ever. oh the best part is the song is the very very last part. hear her hit that amazingly HIGH note.

bio

sporangiophore

spermatogonia

blastocyst

:/

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

oh how i wish i can flush my troubles down the toilet bowl. go join the diarrhoea and puke and what not.

and are they really trouble? am i not fortunate enough already? just stop harping on those thoughts already hui lin! how extraordinarily irritating.

A levels. CTs. how depressingly scary.



Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

weird mood

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives."


*coughs* hahaha! sorry, private joke between me and my siblings. but anyway NO nostalgia's not the reason why i'm putting this image up(like SO GROSS). but it's to show that AHH TIME IS RUNNING OUT CAN YOU FEEL THE HEAT?



anyway i can't get this image out of my head. it's so irritating. take a look at it:











don't get me? ok, let's zoom in:























OMG I WAS SO UGLY.



hahahahahahahha. ok sorry. haemocytometer! spirogyra! you arthropod! WAHAHAHAHAAA.


there's something about bio. it's the only subject that can make me talk like this. sighhh.

My Refuge

Untitled.

save me.

key to my heart

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadow's the only one
that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

Good time's the devil
I'm a force of heaven

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

So many time's I'm down
Down down
With the ground

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

Whoa, in this world
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love. Seasons of love.

In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.

Remember the love! Remember the love! Remember the love!
Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.


********************************************

just went to flip through the council msg book. it was interesting to note how my emotions were, surprisingly, stirred once more.

i have loads to say, but unfortunately this is no longer diary-x, where i can protect my entries. so oh well.

realised that i never talked about my investiture after it ended.

well, investiture was on the 24th of may. a day when tears were shed, all for different reasons.

wherein lie your intentions?

all in all, it has been an interesting ride.

i'm satisfied... enough. :)



********************************************

525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

Fear

Fear.

the feeling of having a fist wrapped around your heart

like holding a butterfly in your hands

its wings fluttering against your fingers

pulsating.

one finger strokes

another finger wraps slowly wraps itself around the throat.

it tries to scream but there is no sound

...squeezes.

scream

scream

scream

...but there is no sound.

a rare update!

aloha fellow homosepians!

hui lin the lag has finally reappeared miraculously to blog about her oh-so-eventful life!

:p.

ok i've been to busy to blog for the past week. ok fine, maybe i was just simply lazy. ok i guess nobody reads my blog(maybe got a few who read. but because of my lag entries, they probably got tired of checking anymore) but i shall pretend that i have a whole fan club who do. so! let me give you a feel of what's been happening in my fantastic life.

27th may, saturday
BWM(back woods man) camp. for OAC. annual thing. in pulau ubin. was in camp fire comm with jason, alfred, cass, ava, simon, terence. was a super funny experience :).

28th may, sunday
BWM(back woods man) camp second day(last day as well). wanted to die cuz i felt so dirty. and hungry. man, my pig instincts surfaced the moment i got back to mainland singapore, changi village. ate like a (no prizes guessing what) ...pig.

29th may, monday
had chem lecture from 2-5pm. kind of a waste of time.
afterwards, we had council farewell prepared by CIA! oh man, they rock !!! everyone got a trophy, photos, a booklet with our msges to council, a certificate, and a cd containing our videos(which will be given when sch reopens). i love them man. and veron!! she put in so much heart into it! i cried haha :).

30th may, tuesday
had math lecture from 9:30 to 11:30am. okaaay lar. i'd say it's slightly better than chem lecture hahaha.
had elections comm treat by mr tan! went to NYDC at heeren(supposed to go to marche but it was under renovation). swati, christine, xiao ting, sui hang, me, mr tan went. rudy was in indo with his gf(heh heh) and sok was in malaysia for geog trip! grr. but overall, happy :).

31st may, wednesday
went to school for Graduation Night meeting with the juniors. only me, alfred, boss(andre), grace and jolynn(but she's also in the present team) went. then i went to thomson plaza after school. to find a wedding present for mr goh kien huay. after searching for 2 hours, i found one. BUT i called him and he say he wld prefer getting money. diaaaaooo -_-"

1st june, thursday
supposed to meet jiali to study BUT she pang seh me HAHA. so i went to amk lib for about a few lousy hours, borrowed The Kite Runner and went home. also, tracy's birthday today! met up with the class to surprise her at her house(turned out to be NOT a surprise cuz she already knew :P). went for supper with veron, joanne, choon heng. happy :). reached home late, 11:30pm i think.

2nd june, friday
FINALLY. day off. so i went to AMK lib with jia li to study haha! yay love her :)!

3rd june, saturday
Mr Goh Kien Huay's wedding! was held at a church at Novena(ahh my favourite place :P). very lovely wedding. goodness i was like gushing at how sweet every moment was the entire time. and i loved the photos they took. so sweet. ahH! -goes BANANAS-. really wish them a happy marriage :).

4th june, sunday
Adventure Trail Challenge(ATC)! a competition held by NTU. had alfred, jia li, ben on my Team Bananas! basically ran around singapore, had abseiling, then kayaked to pulau ubin, cycled, supposed to do river crossing but race was stopped due to bad organisation bad weather and timing. kayaked back to mainland. then walked back to finishing point(too tired to run haha).

i hate to say this, but NTU screwed up a little logistically. many people will say they screwed up big time though. they screwed up for the previous comp they held(XPhysique 2006). sheesh. and it's more or less the same problem. kinda sad they keep on making the same mistakes. this ain't doing their reputation any good.

overall, i enjoyed the race. cuz of my team mates! GO BANANAS :)! after math of it: my legs are aching like crazy, can't walk properly. suffering from sun burn, especially my shoulders, back. dying.

oh, there were so many NJ people in ubin to work as road marshalls(oh those cheapskates, for the sake of clocking up CIP hours..) hahahaha :)! saw zhi jun, xin yi, joyce, shu yu, and many others! sheesh! also got zhiru and dency at mainland! and the best thing was, almost everyone who saw me said to me "eh!! HUI LIN!!! omg i didn't know that you were so fit leh!" sheeeeeeeeessssssssssshhhhhhh -____-.

when i saw xin yi, she said that i was hot! HAHAHAHAHAA. oh man. instead of spurring me on, i almost fell off my bike in laughter. sheesh. but thanks gal ;)!

today's my dad's birthday too! so after the competition(we gathered at 7:30am to register, set off at 1015am, reached finishing point at 6:30pm) i immediately rushed home to bathe. shared cab with jia li. had a great dinner. yay :).

today, 5th june
supposed to be study day. but my body hurts so bad that i just couldn't bear to start work(ok fine, that's probably a lousy excuse lol). and so i went to complete reading a book, The Kite Runner. goodness. a very good, sad book. very sad. almost didn't want to complete reading the book. and for me to behave that way, the book must have been horribly emotionally damaging.

quite a lazy day. ok i've ran out of excuses. it's time to start studying.

oh wait! ONE more excuse. i need to clear up the mess in my room before i can start studying. heh :p.

nah. got chem lesson tmr. sigh. whatever lar.

...can't wait for you to get back :)!!
