i have to start blogging soon,
before this blog dies on me! :X

seems like everyone i know is desperately looking for a job.

isn't it better to attend classes to enrich yourselves?

I'm wondering what kind of classes i should attend considering the fact that we actually only have more or less about 1 to 2 months of official break before we get out results and start to panic (:

I'd love to pick up piano lessons again (: haven't been in touch with my piano for a long time and i really missed those times when i could actually play a decent tune.



even though i actually hated the instrument as a kid. Ok, not really, it's more like i got sick of it.

when i was younger i had LOADS of activities lined up ranging from swimming lessons to piano lessons despite the fact that i actually enjoyed the lessons ,the time that was taken up from my life was really irritating.


in the past there was definately something lined up for me everyday be it tuition or enrichment lessons. at times i had to wake up as early as 7am to attend lessons in Novena at 8.

so yea even though the lessons were great fun, the process of getting to that class was a pain in the butt.

terribly.





but now that i'm 16 i actually missed and really appreciate my parents effort to send me to all these different classes , cause it's only when you're a kid do the teachers make the effort to make the lessons fun.

oh like when i was in Lorna Whiston in primary 3 my british teacher celebrated our last day in the study center with bakery and a movie screening of the Original charlie and the chocolate factory which was way cool (: *love the retro effect :D*



but there's this one class i'll never forget.



PAT'S SCHOOL HOUSE (:

i had the best time of my life there. i mean like DUH. it's kindergarden and most of us would have fun in kindergarden or was it nursery? i'll have to ask my mom abou that cause honestly , i can't really remember.

BUT the lessons were really fun! there were arts and crafts lessons where you could play with all kinda funny materials to create a potrait and on father's day we were taught to create a tie with this gauze looking material and pasted cloth of different paterns and texture to create a tie. *which my dad still keeps even though he would most likely be unable to wear it*



oh and in one of the lessons it was all about trains and we took a train ride to malaysia and had macdonals on board (: that was really fun and definately memorable.

and they use to have this HUGE TURTLE like really it was half my height when i was there.


ahh all the good ol' days.

talkin about animals, when i was in the ol' NAFA building when i was younger it was situated at this small hill around the istana and they had this small little farm with all kinda animals such as rabbits, fishes, chicken, ducks and a big fat turkey. yes you heard me right TURKEY! (: it was so freaking cute but honestly i have no idea where the turket is after NAFA relocated to bencoleen street, maybe they had it for christmas


CHRISTMAS!

i can't wait for the post christmas sale (:

till then! toodles.

HEY EVERYBODY!
the O's are so finally over and it feels

























WEIRD.
honestly.


it's kinda odd without something to do and yeah.. it's odd
but still recently I've had quite a number of events so let me list out the most exciting one first
one that's related to food:D


A WEDDING! and it was held at Goodwood Park Hotel
and i can't deny it's one of the best weddings i have ever been to :D

the reception was held at the poolside which was really classy and the people there were all really well dressed, which made the even look even better.

and i love the dress my aunt wore for her wedding! the dress was absolutely stunning (:
it was a laced up Cheong-Sam with pearly accessories and adorned with a feathered head piece!

which was definately cute

ohohohoh! and the best part of the reception!
i found my new love.














thats right! i FOUND MY ONE * out of the many * TRUE LOVE!
my one and only Stella Artois
the beer was really good and super smooth and i was absolutely ARGH! SEXY!
for all you people out there who have been drowning yourselves in Carlsberg, ABC or what-so-ever. it's finally time for change!

you , yes you every single one of you there should try Stella Artois (:

unless you are muslim , vegetarian or what-so-ever.


when it was time for the dinner i was truly shocked with the arangement .
we were welcomed into this HUGE BALLROOM with only 2 rows of table like the movie 'KING AND I' which was a real stunner and the hotel really know how to make you feel like a king , by labeling the seats with your name.

when i started browsing down the menu i'm sure you would feel the way i felt reeeallly happy *smirks*.


MORE ALCOHOL!
i'm usually not such a big fan of alcohol but i'm madly in love with vodka and the so happen to serve it there too! :D:D:D


not only was there vodka but also white/red wine of a certain standard, whisky, assorted soft drinks and trust me there was no restrictions.

unlike some restruants who would tell you things like :

"oh i'm so sorry we don't serve ice lemon tea here."

or worse

"don't have!"

but whatever the reason is Goodwood park is defiantely one of the hotels with quality service(:
together with Hilton and Shangri la

and the doorgift is notonly practical but tasty(:
new zeland honey!
you've got to lov ethe wedding *unless you are like anti-good-food*

THIS IS TOTALLY DRIVING ME INSANE!
all the talk bout food is making me hungry(:

i'm gonna get dinner first
toodles (:

ARGH!!!

i am terribly frustrated and really drained out

the hearts of musical workshop is driving me nuts, there seem to be some problem with the allocation of funds and this is also happening to the korea trip and to add on to that i might not even get a ticket to get myself on the plane!

i know this might look really confusing, that is becasue i am really just rambling about all the problems i have.

the tumbler i bought from starbucks needs to be changed to because it's faulty and ARGHHHHHHH. this is effing* confusing and i'm stressed out.

WENT TO MTV.COM RECENTLY.
and chanced upon this video and i think it should raise awareness among many of us to be careful of what we say.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3cQ67IkEOc

and i still think that Hilary Duff is hot. (:

"when you say that's so gay, do you realise what you say?
KNOCK IT OFF" (:

it's like saying, that is so mrs manning :D

I'M ON HIATUS TILL THE END OF O'S
which is totally coming

*shrikes like a bimbo. (Diana you know what i mean)
I've been shopping like alot recently.

YEA ALOT. considering the fact that it's actually the O'Level period
and i might be taking a third language at the end of the year (:

lets see, French? Italian? or maybe German.
I'm still pondering over the fact that i would most likely be unable to use them anyway.
HOW BOUT MALAY(:
i mean like it's kinda cool and most people out there actually understand and speak in Malay.

*even though there are some impostors out there who ACT as though they were born with the language but fails miserably.


anyway i'm still trying to slim down. and trust me it's not that bad.
(but it's not the easiest thing to do either)

oh and i'll be getting down to complete some illustration works REAL soon and i'll be posting them up(:
and if you love it you can drop me an e-mail and i'll get one done for you!

but dear, there is nothing free in this world in case some nut case come to me with dumb requests.:D


also. I'LL BE HOLDING A EXHIBITION together with my friends at NAFA(:

we'll be displaying some of our prints and works that we have done over this year
i'm looking forward to that :D



i'm trying my best not to reaveal any of my shooping sprees now but i'll keep you guys posted as soon as ... eh...... i'll get back to you guys when the time comes :D












LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

work in progress.
sorry for the lack of post. :D

IMAGES OF MY ART O'LEVEL WILL BE UP SOON.

SHANNON AND THE absolutely adorable dogs.

and extreme attention seekers.

OH MY GOODNESS.


i know, it has been a long time since i blogged and I'm kinda vexed over the O's with only 1 more week and I've got to complete my Art O's paper 2 really soon.
i don't really have much to say but yesterday while on the way to do some art research, i came face to face with a..





ADORABLE DOG!
two of them in fact and they are both adopted by a kind lady
and the dogs are damm lucky, when i asked the lady what the dogs ate , she replied:

" they don't take dog food. i cook for them everyday. "

BEAT THAT,
i think not many of us get to enjoy home cooked food.

* i do! :P

and they get walks in the park everyday.
as long as it doesn't rain.
and the brow lil' dog *her name is mei mei* was so adorable!
after petting her for a few times she became so close to be and started to crawl into my arms :D
AND SHEN SHE SAW MY CAMERA BAG.
she attempted to walk into it.


THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE A DOG DO THAT.
can you imagine. you see a dog pet it and poof! .
in it goes into your bag, and TADA! the dog is now yours.

hilarious.

WOHOO!

finally done with my final artwork and my prep studies!
after all the hard work and dedication that i have put into this baby. (:

I'm kinda reluctant to hand it up ... but I've git to hand it up to strive for a chance at reaching out for that A1! :D

END OF MIDNIGHT OIL
START OF BEAUTY SLEEP.

p: I'll post pictures up real soon.

"meow, are you still alive?"


i just helped to bury a cat that was knocked down by a car in my backyard.
it was my maid who saw the cat at the road and she called my over to help her with the burial.
she said that according to her religion, if you help a cat, the cat will help you in your after life.

but regardless of how the cat is going to repay my maid and i, I'm sure it doesn't matter.
I'm just glad the cat is not in the incinerator.

and as for the driver.I'm sure he didn't mean for the cat to be hurt.

lord help the cat with his/her way to heaven.
Amen.

*I'll tell you guys More about it the next time.

LOOK AT HOW AMUSED THEY ARE.

it's was already drizzling but these people stayed to watch the show despite the rain.

a stimulation of what they would do if singapore is under attack.

more planes..

THE RED LIONS!

yep, they are the ones who performed for you at the national day parade annually

__________________________________________________________________

OHMIGOSH.

the holidays are coming to an end,
*and about time.

as much as hate to see it go, it's time to head back to school and start facing what *i* have been avoiding for the past one week.

*such as mrs.s.ma**ing , ahem ahem.

well before things start to go stale, i'll DO MY BEST and post ALL or well, most of the pictures i took over the holidays.

let's GO!~

ohhhhkay.

lets get the ball rooooooooling(;



CROSS COUNTY 2008'(:



woke up slightly later to find myself nearly late for the event :p

don't worry, i made it there in one piece. (: in the end less than 20 people from my class turned up.



in fact there was only 14 * or was it 17?*

anyway.



KUDOS to everyone who attended, you are the only one in class left with balls!



don't look at me like that, it was what one of my classmates said:

* i won't mention the name to protect his/her privacy.



" those who didn't come for cross country have no balls."



yep.





never mind



for the Cross country i represented my class together with 9 other girls from my class and took part in the treasure hunt!

*yes, girls. that's because out of 31 students in my class we only have 7 boys.



anyway we emerged 4th, which was not that bad, and we even did some stuff which i never thought i would do, like say : WE LOVE MRS WONG.

yes i know *yuck



but it's definitely not as bad as: WE LOVE MRS MANNING!

if i did that pigs would fly, or should i say, Mrs manning would fly!

it's true .she's a p**.



after the treasure hunt we went for the mini concert , initially it was alright ,

there was chitmin together with haron beat boxing, followed by Jessica singing with Mr yeo..



but all good things have to come to an end.

and that is when disaster stepped in. THE BANDS!



HORROR, HORROR!

it was so bad that Camilla, bibiana and i took our earphones and headphones and chose to listen to the original version of the songs instead.



and whoooops.

that moment was captured by the school photographer. :o



i was like. WTF!

but it was too late , it's all on film.



initially the whole thing was supposed to end at 10am HOWEVER, the school kinda imposed FLEXI-TIME and it ended at 11am.



and to make things so much worse the secondary 4 cohort had to walk back to school to collect their report books. OH MY GOODNESS! LOOK AT THE TIME.



and Mr Anba called me over to collect litter and i was already so darn pissed and so i gave him that WHAT THE F*** look , and guess what he told me.



'' OK LEAVE! don't give me that look, if you don't want to help then leave don't give me that look. '' -anba.



blah blah and so i left(:

collected my report card, and vroom! off i left for the RSAF OPEN HOUSE! (:


*i rock, oh yeahh*

oh, and it was also mr singh's b'day tht day.

i love a GUILTY PLEASURE .. hehe.

it feels so , good.
like the "ohhs" and the "ahhs"





WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING OF!
i'm talking about the song by COBRA STARSHIP from their latest album iViva La Cobra!

whee' love the song, makes me wanna Dance!



'GUILTY PLEASURE'

everything rocked.

except for..... the video. DAMM someone engage a better person to flim the video for them!
but still , a damm sexy song. (:

THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!
yep. and finally time for many of us to let our hair down.


though, i doubt the sec4 will be having an easy time, with the O's coming in a little less than 2 month!

2 MONTHS
gosh`

I'm terribly sorry for the lack of post over the months and would update you guys with things I've done over the months and the competitions I've joined.


and don't even bother asking me to blog about the 'art o'level fraud' incident
'cause i choose to blog only about events that are meaningful(:

like the treasure hunt race today!
*good job guys(:

i'll blog about that tomorrow together with pictures :D

and i went for the RSAF open house today(:

today's open house was only open to the friends and families of staff so it was really spacious and i got to get a look into quite a number of exhibits like the :

e2c ,c-130, apache, ch-47 also known as the chinook! (:

and it was all possibe thanks to si ying's dad's invitation to the RSAF opne house, so thanks!

anyway i'll continue blogging tomorrow.
till then, toodles!

what do you do when you are out of love?
what do you do when your love gets confiscated?

i miss my ipod!
*sobs

i don't think I'll blog about my ipod otherwise this would end up being a long whiny post
which I'm sure most of you won't want to know what happened...

but I'll like to thank Priscilla.G for comforting me and writing those sweet notes.
it sure helped!

have been rather busy recently with all the demand from art and as the deadline approaches tension can be felt among those who bother or care about the subject.

did some shopping recently(:





no, i didn't buy a new shirt or a new pair of shoes.
although i did get a pair of black Bermudas from sub(;

back to the topic, i did some shopping recently!
and i was shopping for some art materials. :D

and i bought these:

a new set of 12 markers! (they work like copic markers but they are not copic markers.)
some bottle of new acrylic paints ( most of them were for Ingah)
palette for acrylic paints
canvas

and they were all so freaking cheap!
especially the markers, it retails at $5.00 ++ !
but i get a super good deal! :D

shan't mention the price before someone out there things that i pluck money outta the trees


next up!

THE ACJC CONCERT!

for all of those who attended, I'm sure you found the concert insightful

and if you were one of those who attended singout for the past few years and fell in love with Marcus, i must say you missed out on yet another good opportunity to meet Marcus(:

or well, at least see Marcus in action :d



'' everyone was kung fu fighting, HUA!''

i went to the cinemas and watched the much raved about KUNG FU PANDA!
and it was hilarious and heartwarming. ilove pandas!

and it actually taught me to believe in myself.
if you believe you're special. you will be special!

and for those who watched the movie this is something I'm sure most of you missed,
throughout the credits some of the problems in the movies are solved!

the vase which Po knocked over was repaired by the duck ( i have no idea what is the name of the duck)

and the tiger tried the noodles Po made. :D
oh and he had this moustache which Po had earlier (which was actually the noodles)

and the seed which was planted by master *wu gui started to grow later at the end of the credits. (:

and as usual at the end when the credits ended Po finished his dumplings first and attempted to eat his shifu's dumplings. outcome? they didn't show.

thanks Si Ying for helping me contact those juniors and watching the movie :D

ohhkays.
the photos are at the top.

toodles!

i know you know that we know that,
I'm a busy man

I'm here to correct something and will be off in a jiffy.
BUT I'll be back i promise(: i think i will try
at least to keep this blog moving and oh do click on the adverts on the left!

OHHHKAY
Linette told me that i have spelt Topman wrongly
and i felt like a total imbecile :(

so to rectify the mistake the easy way i'm going to spell it here the right way and here goes!


T-O-P-M-A-N
as one word not seperated it any way
and not topmen, it's MAN.

:D okay mistake cleared will be back again soon with the musical updates and photos!
and some pictures i took during the musical which actually landed me in the spot light as well
more in my next post(: ?*by this week.

let me first reply my tags and give a big thank you to those who have helped me encouraged me or whatso ever in one way or another.

thanks linette for guiding me to VJC.
(even though i nearly took the worng bus and went straight down to bedok)

thanks to the choir
(for still being ever so warm and it really feels good to be back in the choir even though i've already graduated :D )

thanks to those who have left tags on my tagbox
(it means a hell lot to me , it really does keeps the blog alive)

tomorrow:p
i promise! ..tehehe

I MADE IT.
i recently went to the Victoria Junior College DSA and it was really kinda tough :p
with good intentions my parents woke up extra early to send me over so that i would be able to get there in one piece

after i got out of the car and after waving goodbye to my parents i started to look for the holding room only to realise it was the wrong campus.

i mean like yea. it was indeed Victoria , and yes. it's Victoria school but not VJC!
and so i had to call Linette and guess what her reply was.


Linette: huh! i thought everyone knew where vjc was!

... duh! she lives in Marine Parade and where do i stay in?
Hougang.

and i haven't been there ever since primary 5 and i always took a cab to and fro when i was younger, cause the route around there have always been rather confusing. :x

.
.
.
.

when i reached the school i was rather surprised to find ying yan, kwek jin, Gladys and sisca
and so we started practicing and i realised that they had a number to follow
so i approached one of the student representatives and they asked for my name and all and they said:

OH you're shannon!
lucky no. 100 .

my jaw kinda dropped..
100. and how long would that be?
hmmm. about an hour?


fainted
waited and wet for the auditions and undergo-ed the interview.
fortunately- i survived


and with a reason to smile
iMADE IT INTO THE SECOND ROUND!
yippee! *jumping about*

from 100+ hopefuls I'm in the top 20!
and even if i dint make it I'm Glad to say at least I've tried.

and i was the only one from the group who made it
ying yan was panicking like mad
and started calling me yesterday to say that she recived an e-mail which told her that she didn't make it and wanted me to check my e-mail. and i found nothing in my e-mail folder. for once i thought the audtions and everything was a dream and i didn't attend it.

moral of this story.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS! (: heh.

nope. i'm not getting my bed yet.
but i've git my bed AREADY(:

yesterday, as a matter of fact.

and I'm very happy with the bed!
i think there use to be an advert on the television about this grom who missed his wedding because he was in contact with a really comfortable bed and went to sleep immediately!

that was kinda exactly what happened to me
it's just that i'm not about to be married.
*thank god

apparently I've just woken up from a really long afternoon nap.
or well, i thought it was suppose to be a nap but turned into a 2 hours sleep that turned into somewhat a nightmare.

my head is in a twirl right now. it has got to be the afternoon nap .
ARRRRGH

I'm feeling really bad for not blogging for such a long while readers!
but still thanks for reading and tagging still(: really appreciate that.

oh and my home is near completion soon(: would be moving in at the 27th! that means that i would be able to go to school on time even if i woke up late!

ok i've got to go to the nursery to get the landscape artist to bring the greenery and inject some life into the dull corridor in my home :D. till next time(: toodles.

ahh(:
i'm getting my new bed soon:D

if not for the silly desk i should be sleeping in my queen sized bed:D
oh well. supersingle rocks big time anyway,
at least larger than my good ol' bed

holidays are coming to a closure and i've yet to really complete my holiday homework
i just simply can't find the homework which mr singh claims to be on asknlearn. :(
and i have to really speed up with my prep work for my art O's
i've not even done my layout yet!

*i wonder how is the rest of the class doing..*
and the gap jacket i bought is a little too big for me.
i know it's kinda shocking.

I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SIZE S.
omg. it would be a total breakthrough for my wardrobe if i did that.
oh well, there is always something new:)

i'd better head down to all those furniture mall soon to get my hands on all those furniture!
i really do hope my dream for a contemporary home comes true

till then.
TOODLES(:

the berms i bought out of desperation will get the one from NUM soon(:
a new toy in house! i love the bass, i do hope my dad keeps it in my room.
THE BAG!
i got this bag as a carrier for them to put my berms in(:

really cute!

what can i say. poke mon is still the love!

MARINA SQ(:

AHH~
nothing (for now) beats retail therepy!

now all that is left is the Armani Exchange belt , NUM berms and NUM tee(:

NUM tees are always super cheeky , there was one whcih say:

tell your pants it's not polite to point..

OMG when i saw that i nearly laughed my ass off(:

and there is this:

when you're happy and you know it

(guess what it says at the bottom)

.

.

.

.

.

.

keep it to yourself

ahh,laughter is the best medicine(:

apart from all the shoping and crazy food and everything there is definenately still study and i've got to hit the books soon with all the homework piling up on me ( actually it's just Mr Singh's comprehension on asknlearn(asknlearn is preety good, s.s notes up there are really useful) hmm oh yea and all the physics notes that i've promised myself to do, which i have already started AND completed wave , electricity and is halfway through the notes on light(:

and i am so effing desperate for a holiday overseas (apart from m'asia and sentosa)

oh and i've prolly spent about $160? and i'm getting worried. i'm worried that i'm going to turn into a shopaholic and the shopping is just ... irresistable i should really stop this spree...

i think.

well there is still the POST CHRISTMAS SALE!

yep the post christmas sale is the best, and the cherry on the top is that AlX would have 20% off all belts(according to last year) and gucci would start having sales too (which means i would be able to get my hands on the really funkay looking chain(: )

ok i think i;ll better end this post soon.

i'm so sorry for being unable to update on my blog, i'm just freakin lazy and slackin way too much.

AND PLEASE TAG
