MAD.
Meh, I suggest we avoid the topic of Macpherson from now till the time I ACTUALLY MOVE. And I know it's really really soon, like, in two or three days now. I'll let everyone know when I do. Which was why I didn't raise the issue in the first place.
Moving aside, 2010 is hours away. About 3.5 Hours away now. Come to think of it, 2009 has been a ludicrous year. Crazy. Mad as a Hatter. So many things happened, and so many things I never thought would happen. So many people I've met. So little time, so much to do. That seemed to be what happened. Regarding this, I would like to quote a song from Hairspray:
Let's forgive but not forget,
And learn from all the mistakes we made.
I think it makes sense.
Well, everyone, happy 2010. Thanks for being part of my 2009.

2009 RoundUp
AAAAAAAND It's the end of the year.
Well technically we have about four more days. Still, what's four more days, right?
Especially with the amount of work I have to get done, and the Emcees are down for OGL training or something.
Well... Let's see. 2009. What a year, huh? Personally loads of Ups and Downs. Of course. I mean, what's life without those.
And here are some highlights of my year (in no order)
1. New friends! Lots and lots of new friends. And they're proving to be a bunch of wonderful people.
2. The Drama Club. A great experience, more friends, more work, but it's what I love. And I'm confident of our batch, and 2010's DramaNight!
Heads Up: SNL, SYF, DramaNight.
3. Michael Jackson. A terrible loss which affected me so much. And what better way, than a tribute movie. This Is It. MJ will never die.
4. Best Theatre Experience. To be honest, I watched a some really good ones this year. ITheatre's Fairytale Heart was a simple traditional piece of theatre with a plot that moves the heart in a sensational way. Stages' H Is For Hantu was a one-of-a-kind comedy/musical/puppetry thing which entertained me in a familiar way - humour. SRT's Much Ado About Nothing was indeed something. A different experience for us as we sat under the stars and were bedazzled by the amazing set, the great acting and the magic of Shakespeare. And of course, Zebra Crossing's take on the Broadway classic Victor/Victoria. That was of course, this year's Broadway thing to look out for in Singapore. A great experience for us who are deprived of Broadway.
Heads Up: Chicago, The Lion King.
5. Best Movie experience. I didn't watch many movies this year. So Avatar isn't in this list. Well, basically I really liked Micheal Jackson's This Is It. A documentation of MJ's rehearsals for his concert. Well I like it mainly because I'm a huge fan of MJ. The movie allowed us fans to see what MJ is really like in rehearsals, and also to sing along his legendary songs in the cinema. Another movie experience I remember vividly is Disney's UP. It was simply magical. I've never been so wowed by an animation with such simple characters - a boy, an old man, a talking dog, a strange bird (Which I really love). Up.
Heads Up: Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland.
6. Best Music. Well, this is random, but some artistes I like that have made an impact on the music scene. Lady Gaga with Poker Face, Just Dance, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, and many many more. Beyonce with Halo, Diva, Single Ladies, and Telephone (with Lady Gaga). Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow. Britney Spears - Womanizer. The Wonder Girls - Nobody. Mariah Carey - Obsessed. Taylor Swift.
Heads Up: Look out for Adam Lambert. And also the amazing covers by the cast of GLEE!
7. Movers and Shakers. Heath Ledger (For the Dark Knight, and then passing on). Micheal Jackson (for a shocking death, weeks before his legendary concert). Barrack Obama (For breaking racial barriers). Ris Low (for being herself). B (no explanation needed). Adam Lambert (for being hugely talented, popular, and openly gay, and for his overtly sexual performance of For Your Entertainment on Live TV). Adrian Pang (for his appearance everywhere: Much Ado About Nothing, Red Thread, Polo Boys, and his singing debut in the new year party, singing Let It Rock. Oh and watch out for The Pupil.). The iPhone (for being the iPhone). The Economy (for being slumpy).
Heads Up: You can't tell, can you?
8. New Hangouts! Ion. It might be too dreary because of its depth into the ground, and the claustrophobic atmosphere, but it still offers many favourites and boasts a large variety of everything. Plus, it's shiny at night. Tampines One. If you haven't been there, you should. If you're into shopping anyway. It has many many favourite outlets and lots of food stuff that you can rarely find. One crowd pleaser is J.Co Donuts. If you're thinking of going to Orchard Central, think again. It's layout is strange, and the range is weird. A boring mall when I was there anyways. Try the rooftop garden though, it's beautiful. 313 @ Somerset anyone?
Heads Up: I don't know any :(
Well, that's about all for now. Might continue this list. Might.
But for now, everyone, do enjoy the last few days of 2009 before we welcome the dawn of a new year. 2010 is coming our way and it's just around the corner!
Happy Holidays, everyone.

Wee Bit aimless.
I shall post something today, but it's gonna be a wee bit aimless.
So here I am on a lazy Sunday afternoon at home, doing... this. Of course, there are a million better things I could do. WHY would be a good question. I don't know.
Oh hey I recently received $30 worth of Takashimaya vouchers and so I hurriedly went over to Orchard and I found myself a new Converse bag pack! I think it's really nice. It's gray. Or grey - whichever. And just after that I went over to watch The White Knight. Great show, guys! I'm speaking of Val and Gabriel. And Dwayne.
My brother just got a smashing new phone, cos his Samsung went screwey. Man, it's touch screen and it's got WI FI and 8GB memory, and it uses a universal headphone jack! It's so cool. Nokia. Well, as for myself, I am still happy to be using my Cybershot phone. Even after sending it for repair once, and dropping it into a cup of luke warm water. And dropping it a million times. but it still works fine as my phone, and my Music Player.
Speaking of wants, this year people actually found it hard thinking of what to get me as a gift. So much that they had to directly ask me (YES TIMOTHY, I'M SPEAKING OF YOU) what I wanted. And I didn't have anything to say.
For next year, you have a few choices! :)
1. Organizer. A really good and functional stylish one. For next year, of course.
2. Vouchers. Shopping vouchers to really cool places. Topman, I like. HINT HINT.HINT!!!!!!!!!!
3. Actually, that's about it lah. I can't think of anything else. HAHAHA I'm being so self indulgent.
Well, that's all the time in one weekend I have to be self indulgent. I'll see you people soon. I hope.
And as for dear Timothy, we'll see you next year :)

You Gotta Be Sneaky, Charlie!
Okay If you haven't watched the first two episodes, go to youtube NOW and do it. And then watch this.
Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie the Unicorn is back with the two morons who bug him all the time. Here it is for your enjoyment.
Warning: I will not be held liable for any lost kidneys or a cardiac arrest resulting from a laughing fit.

Thinking of Thoughts
It's the holidays now and it's probably the most un-fun one I've had in a long time. And I think it's only about to get worse. And to top it all off, it's the last holidays I'll have to enjoy till after the A levels, which happens in a year's time.
I could write a list of things I have to get done, but that would be a waste of time.
Today I finally returned to school and met with some of my pool of regular company. I found that the weekend has desensitized me to the norms of social interactions. It took me a while to regain my balance between inner monologues and my facial/verbal facades. Sorry Sophie if I was being really awkward in the morning. Or throughout the day, for the matter. I know how people find me weird and all. TSK. You better start repenting your sins or I will make your OG pay! ROAR.
I want money. Anyone got extra?
HEY! Would it not be extravagant if we were to have a TSD trip to Broadway??? Haha it wouldn't be one bit beneficial for A Levels, but it would be really really cool. Hee, I'm gonna share with you something I recently watched (in Singapore) and fell deeply in love with. OH CRAP Embedding was unabled. Okay here's the link, if you're interested.

It's a really good musical number from the 1995 Broadway version of Victor/Victoria called Le Jazz Hott. The one in Singapore had a really similar routine, but with a better set. And a jazzier singer (Laura Fygi). But I love it because it's so true to the style of Broadway! :)
