Combed the area for a good spot to catch jay chou coming in. We found a seat and just stood on it till he came. With the onset of onimous clouds, the evening looked grim. Starting with a drop, then a drizzle, then it started to pour. To most, if not everyone's relief, the rain stopped in a hurry.
The time now is about 8pmish and we've been standing on this small area for the better part of 2 hours. Around this time a YES 93.3FM DJ (forgot her name) came up to warm up the crowd. Hahah if not for the first few rows of respondents i think it's safe to say her efforts were pretty much futile. Everyone's eyes were fixated at the entrance of the red carpet. Not long after, the DJ said Jay and his entourage were at Plaza Singapura, at that moment everyone bar the security guards whipped out their cameraphones, cameras and what have you. A sea of camera's engulfed my vision. Jay arrived in a white mercedes van, DAMN even the driver was giving the thumbs up and smiling to himself! And so he came, with the scream of a thousand puberscent girls,.THERE HE WAS , IN THE FLESH..... THE ONE ... THE ONLY! 周杰伦 !
As calm as ever, he walked down the red carpet, he did not stop to pose for photos, nor for autographs. Within 4 seconds he came and went. But if i had to guess, the closest he came to me was about 3 meters or so. And NO, i didn't get to smell his cologne unfortunately. In fact the air was a stirring mixture of moisture, sweat and saliva. Not exactly pleasent, but not as disgusting as you would imagine. However i'd definitely say it was worth it. With a black shirt and a grey blazer , his hair permanently fixated in place as if sculpted with cement. With every inch of him screaming coolness and suave, YES HE IS JAY CHOU. I probably sound like a girl in love for the first time, hahaha trust me i am no girl neither am i gay. But he does have an overwhelming aura that brushes off you.
Reaching the stage he and Lun Mei are introduced by the DJ. The irony!, as if 周杰伦 ever needed an introduction. To my and most others dismay, he did not perform a song. However, there was some random guy that went up to sing his song "不能说的秘密" the theme song of this movie. Jay played the piano while this other guy sang the song. I think nerves got the better of him, but who wouldn't if you had jay chou playing the piano and you're singing to couple hundred people in the open. His efforts are commendable nevertheless. At the end of the song though, Jay gave his own ring to the guy, saying that he was "gan dong". In my mind i was thinking "that lucky bastard". Further on he played a piano duet with the other lead actress, it was ok i guess. And so it was, face to face with Jay Chou for a good 15 minutes or so. Worth it or not? That's for you to decide!
The movie .... (Dont worry no spoilers la!)
The movie in my opinion was really really good. A really interesting twist to the movie i really would never have guessed! Orginal movie directed by Jay Chou i would expect nothing less. A love story with a twist to summarise. There was this ang moh guy sitting next to my friend, at the end of the movie he even had tears in his eyes LOL. Well if you're wondering what movie to catch next, i'd strongly reccommend this one. In all i'd give it 8/10 just for its story telling alone, truly brilliant.
*Note* Pictures are at max zoom and will appear pixalated.Not much closeups, reason being his swiftness along the red carpet. Some pictures are with a camera , some with a cameraphone, hence size and clarity will vary.
Chio Bu Meter for the day: 2/10. Horrendous would be an understatement here. One would think that jay chou has many pretty hot fans. However this was not the case today. Mostly Chinese Nationals (i have no idea what their talking about), Ah lians who dress as if their screaming for attention. And school girls who look like they just came back from playing basketball during recess.
Pictures!
dark clouds :(
dark clouds again:((
Braving the heat!
HAHHA GOT YOU THERE BUDDY!
Jie Lun WO AI NI!
Ai jiu shi Ai!
Wan mei de Ai!
Managed to get a snap shot of the lead actress Lun Mei!
Zoomed out view of the stage!
Threesome!

What just happened?
Alright just got back from training in school. The coach made the cut , and for some unfathomable reason i made it into the 15 , as i pen down my thoughts now there are 29 things running through my mind and contemplating what happened just now i still feel more shocked than elated. As the coach put it "seeing your friends walk off just like that is one of the shittiest feelings you can experience", during that point of time i totally felt that way. Perhaps the coach wants to let the freshies get some exposure , perhaps i'm just pro (hahah jk.) whatever it is , i guess he has his reasons.
Looks like its gonna be intensive training from here on out , cause the coach is gonna cut the 15 down to 11 AGAIN , thats right AGAIN! haha .. so i guess it's make or break time.
Anyway a funny story , just now on my way back from school around 10pm this old lady approached me and asked me to tell her when to get down for Eunos MRT directly translated "SMALL BOY , YOU CAN TELL ME WHEN EUNOS MRT TIME? I WANT TO TAKE MRT!". So i was like ... errrrrrrr okay.. A few stops went by and what i thought was the bus stop for Eunos MRT actually wasn't but t'was too late i had already asked her to get down. Eunos MRT is actually the next stop. I only realised that when i passed by the MRT station! I was thinking to myself WHAT THE SHIT! WAH LAO I TOTALLY FEEL DAMN BAD! Oh well , no point crying over spilt milk right?! hahaha but anyway everything looks different at night , mainly due to the fact that I take the bus usually in the day. Hence at night I feel as if I'm in unfamiliar territory!
Mid terms next week and i still feel totally unprepared arghh!!
Oh and by the way , MS JAPAN OR MS KOREA , if somehow you're reading this I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY EITHER OF YOU! ARRIGATO and KOPASUMIDA <3!!>
Till next time CYA!

And so it begins again ...
Hi everyone!
This week marks the chapter of a new semester at TP , which also means the first week for thousands of freshies at TP.
Lectures so far have been pretty good, not really as boring as i had anticipated at first which is great! Having said that , i feel lectures are alot more interesting because of the courses being taught. I find it much more relevant to my future career as compared to say , Geography , Chemistry or Physics. Safe to say i wont be using any of the 3 examples given in Business. (Some might disagree but hey! , to each his own huh?) Hence it this makes you pay more attention in lectures and tutorials because you know what you're learning now , will make you a much more efficient and productive employee when you join the workforce.
Lectures and tutorials nowadays are never a bore with the interesting people in class, so thats great as well! School has been like totally slack as well , like going for lectures at 11 and going home at 1 , the awesomeness...! Or take for instance today i didnt need to go at all cause i had no lectures lol. <3 that!
CCA Fair was this week as well , tons of CCAs! Wish i could join all but alas, i would go crazy doing so. Signed up for Tennis , Tae Kwon Do and Dance(LOL DANCE!). There was this chick that persuaded me to join and she wasnt exactly THE hottest girl la, but still there was something about her that made me go WOW! hahahahha.. so to please her, i just signed up for fun. Under the heading background experience i wrote down CHICKY DANCE and MASS DANCE. So i'm feeling pretty confident, except maybe with the wtf auditions hahah!
Had meals at the Applied Science canteen over these few days, and OMGWTFBBQSAUCE Applied Science's canteen is like a bloody replica of an air-conditioned food court , now i know why there usually aren't many people at the business park lol . Although business is still the best BIZ BIZ BIZ BIZNESS!!! yupp. The food court has like 20+ stalls while business has like 5? WTF?!
To sum it up, the first week of campus life has been great , hopefully it will stay that way! Till next time CYA!
