Taken from the description: "A day in the life of a typical working class Singaporean named Terry reveals to us many Singaporean characteristics that we do not pay much attention to. This film shows how little things can bring out the "singaporean-ness" in us, and gives us a good reason to be proud of our country. ".
Just be wary of who the person might actually be, the next time you plan on "jio-ing"/ whistling at someone.
What the actor and actress in Titanic, actually wanted to say. In hokkien!
This video is a parody of Wonder Girl's 'Nobody'. Done by Mr Brown and gang, they comeback with hilarious lyrics (to the tune of Nobody) based on the recent H1Ni pandemic.

And what good way to end this post other than to show you my favourite video? Pokemon used to be one of my favourite cartoons but I soon got confused over the many versions of it.
And this my friends, is an awesome video of the Pokemon theme song.
Enjoy!

Video!
I once dedicated an entire post to videos found on Youtube a long time ago. I posted videos such as the Tamil thriller, the colourful Hokkien Songs, the two talented guys, and also, the two hilarious girls.

Now, over the years, we've seen tonnes of videos of people performing covers of great artistes. And we've seen many hilarious parodies of certain artistes as well. In fact, I've even seen subliminal messages in some videos such as Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven (below).
Even songs by Rihanna were not left untouched. The wonders of Youtube.
We've seen and heard all of this already. So what's new?
The Hokkien Version of Rihanna's hit song, "Umbrella"!
Till then!
Yes, it's a new layout for my blog. Fresher, cleaner look. And of course, with a huge writing space for my posts.

Interviews
Interviews are my worst nightmare (other than having the lady from Ring crawl out of my TV, Chuckie to be under my bed, Freddy Krueger to live in my dreams, and Bloody Mary to live in my mirror and scary midget demonic clowns hopping /running around with minituare daggers all happening at the same time. Right Syuh?).
And I dread interviews so much. Why? It is actually not the fear of being rejected during the interview, but rather, not being prepared to give a speech about myself. I am fine with the fact that they ask questions that require me to state my point of view.
However, the killer question during the interview would have to be "Tell me about yourself". Trust me, if you were my interviewer, you'd pretty much want to smack me on the head. Because I always emphasize on the 'wrong' things.
Like in a recent interview that I went to, I was asked to tell them more about myself. And as always, I startd off with my interest. Soon enough, I landed myself in the "I appreciate Arts, but it wouldn't seem like the 'usual' Arts to some, because I enjoy tattoos and body piercings". And then, totally in my own zone, I'll relate incidents (sometimes even chuckling to myself) or events where I got to see beautiful art pieces (the tattoos and body piercings) up close and personal. And I even talked about wanting to head to Thailand to check out the Vegetarian festival because of the body piercings they do there.
The awkwardness would only come when I look up at them, to only see a horrified/bewildered face staring back at me.
And if that isn't bad enough, I have the habit of saying "Errhhh...", "Urm...." and even "And so on", so much that even I find it irritating.
Interviewer: So tell me something about yourself.
Me:I enjoy sports because I think that it is one of the few ways to unleash my potential without having to be judged based on my looks and speech. It also takes my mind of off things and so on.
If I were the interviewer, i'd simply shoot back with a "What the heck is so on?".
Thankfully, all the interviews that I have been to, have nice interviewers.
Why oh why must they have interviews for so many events? It's not as if we're attending some beauty pageant or anything like that. True, we'll be asked questions that require to be answered on the spot, but never something that suggests telling them more about myself.
But then again, it's funny as I relate the entire scenario back at home. I guess I'm so used to the fact that my family accepts Art and are really open-minded, that I relate my opinions just like how I do it at home. And it beats giving beauty pageant answers.
I think most of my classmates know about that part already, if they've been reading my answers on the various articles posted on MEL. And of course, my friends who may know too much about me and my point of view. Hahah!
And other than finding difficulty in giving almost perfect answers to the random questions, I still have no idea why people find it hard to accept those with piercings/tattoos/weird sense of dressing (Weird/unique, you decide).
No matter how much we try to not judge a book by its cover, we always end up doing it.
And sometimes, I hate myself for doing so because when placing myself in that person's shoes, I'd never want anyone to judge me/think of me/ treat me like how I do to some.
Ridiculous.
And now you know, as to why I hate going to interviews. And it's because of interviews that always make me miss fruitful experiences and adventures.
I do hope that I can conquer this fear, or at least find a better answer to the questions soon. Or else, I'm screwed for future careers.
Till then.

Videos!
In case you didn't know, I am a huge fan of Youtube. And every once in awhile, I'd be searching aimlessly around Youtube until I settle on something that really catches my eyes, ears and heart.
When it comes to singing, it's not what makes the song sound right, but it's what makes the song RIGHT. I don't have ideal genres that I worship in particular (it used to be in the Metal Genre, then shifted to Oldies, and then R&B. But I have since shifted my taste all around, because there can never be just one artist that is good.)
Anyways, the addiction to Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle is now over. I'm now totally head over heels for PS22 Chorus!
I think that this is by far their best video(below) because it's meaningful through the lyrics, and the kids portray the song is such a beautiful way that I can't stop replaying the video.
Great song choice by Perez and also great vocals from the kids.
Enjoy!

And just before I end this post, I'd like to share two other videos.
Who'd knew that 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' could be sung in so many ways?!? I really enjoyed the first video and I think that Bhangra/Punjabi music is really upbeat and fast, so much that it makes you wanna' get on your feet to groove!
And no, this is not a means to be racist and make fun of their music. Douche Bags.

Random Updates
Look at how time flies.
It is already the 6th week for most of us and fortunately for me, I am still able to have a firm grip on my assignments without losing touch fun and the datelines of course!
I am pretty aware at how dead this blog is, needless to say, who reads it. But nevertheless, I would still be updating. And it's a warning to you guys, because the next few posts might be too wordy to handle.
Anyways, the past two weeks has been a change for me. Not only have a made new friends (from my class. Yes, that is how pathetic I am.), but I have been practically spending my 'after-school' time with them, be it for Lunch, Dinner or to simply hang out to chill.
And I have indeed had a blast with them. It's not that I have totally forgotten the old pals' that I used to hang out with (both in Poly and in Sec Sch). In fact, I've been keeping in touch with them(you guys know who you are!) because I do cherish the friendship lah (mushy moment).
But having to hang out with this bunch of friends is like a total refreshment. What do I mean by that? Well, I do enjoy every second with this group but what came as a shocker to me was how direct they were when I asked them about their first impression of me (no offence taken)!
Now I understand how people judge me when they see me from a distant away. However, it was hilarious when most of them actually told me of the confusion they had when I appeared to be so much more friendlier that they pictured me to be (because of my dyed hair, piercing and so on...)!
I guess as much as we'd all like others to not judge us by our 'covers', someway, somehow, we will be judged like that. It is either we accept and move on, or we stay put and whine about it.
As for me, I'm not the least bit offended. In fact, I like the idea of making people wonder what the hell is up with me. Like I said, it's the things that bewilder people, that make you stand out. Hahah!
Other than that, the past two weeks has been awesome. Got to know my classmates better, got to hate certain things here and there even more, and most importantly, I got to meet the Mucus Clan! Dark Berry Mocha Frap was gooooooood.
And Jeanice, you better give me back my wood bracelet or I'll bloody Mary you.
