Choir Competition!

CHOIR COMPETITION IS LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!

GOOD LUCK, Y'ALL SMKAA CHOIR TEAM!! And other schools too, of course.

I am so excited about everything, i wouldn't be about o sleep tonight.

And there's another reason why i could not sleep. I had to wake up at 5am to go to school. So why sleep when i can't sleep longer?

Anyway, SMKAA Choir Team, good luck, and may we do the best!

PS, I just found a very nice piece of music. Listen to it.

Busy, Busy Week - Ceremony at the Avenue!

It has a been a week since i wrote anything here. My blog is going to rot.

After Earth hour - which i totally can't do anything about it - i am now sitting in front of my beloved computer.

I can hardly catch a breath this whole week! And now that i finally do, i am pouring my heart out here.

Omigawd, let's just say that this was my busiest week in the first three months of 2009. I had choir practise every single bloody day, then a pile high of school homework -given by those merciless teachers, and then the stuff with the band and everything else that was going through my small little head. And i am now in the middle of writing - both stories and songs!! How am i supposed to figure out and organize my life sometimes, i do not know. But it seems that this little head of mine is very capable of a little skill called multi-tasking.

Then of course, which caused me to even dream about the work that i am supposed to do, and the horrible tragic IF i did not finish it... *shudder*

Of how i got through this bizarre week, i must thank two of my most favourite band - Paramore & Avenged Sevenfold. They gave me inspiration and so-called strength to do my work and plan my life. Without their music by my ears every single day, i wouldn't know if i am even alive today.

I would probably die of exhaustion by the street on the way to tuition - if i were to live this week without them. No kidding.

Nowadays, i am very into bands. I even checked out local bands like Bus Company (awesome), 7 Collar T-Shirt (nice music, but sucky vocal) and some more other bands. And then of course, there are the international bands which are totally, incredibly awesome!!! For example: Yellow Cards, The Script, Plain White T, Lifehouse, Nickleback, My Chemical Romance, Muse, Mayday Parade, Bullets for my Valentine, Korn (ahh, i adore Korn!), Slipknot, Jimmy Eat World, Faber Drive, Iron and Wine, Flyleaf...

If i were to continue, i wouldn't be able to sleep.

And now - as i am writing - i am listening to Paramore's Conspiracy. An awesome song. The sole reason i love Paramore so damn much.

As i had said earlier, i was incredibly busy. But one of the reason i couldn't get my lazy ass to the front of the computer was because i was always in front of the computer. With nothing to do - sarcastic - checking tonnes of music videos, listening to new music and creating new ones of my own. I simply hadn't the heart to write anything else!

Of course, now that i do find time, please bear the long-ness with me.

On the following Sunday, i went for church early in the morning. But the night before, i had so damn many dreams, i couldn't actually sleep till it was 5am in the morning. I had too many things to think about to sleep. But i was also a little too excited and overreacted about everything. Lol. Typical ol' me.

And then at 7am, i had to wake up. I went to church (my friends call me 'good little church girl'... WHY??) and then went for Sunday school.

At 11 30am, i had to go to my mum's shop to eat, then go straight to school - due to the competition on Wednesday. And then at 12pm - 2pm, i was in school. But 2 15pm, i went to Yamaha for concert practise, which my teacher had so badly wanted me to sing/ play the violin. I must admit, though it was a little cliche, but the songs are heavenly! Mama Mia, Dancing Queen anyone?

And then, right after the rehearsal, i had to go for band practise. The practise that day was awesome. We played Pressure and My Heart - both songs from Paramore, I'm sure you know. And then a little of I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. Jason, Lee, Eevonne, Elaine and a girl was there with us. After the practise, we went to 7/11 where Paul bought me a Slurpee and we hung out, talked/ discussed some things and went to my home for dinner. The girls wanted to follow, but Marcus's car couldn't fit all 8 of us, so the girls had to go home themselves. They took forever to make a decision, and Marcus and i were too tired and lazy to hurry them up. (I had to go home, my mum was yelling at me already).

The name of our band - Ceremony at the Avenue! It took the boys forever to decide on the name. One hour and twenty minutes, i could still remember. *sigh* Boys. The band was officially formed at 8 02pm (between 21-24 seconds) 03/29/2009, my house's front porch.

Marcus: 'Paul, can you shut up for a while? Just for a while?'
Paul: 'Beeeeeekkkk!'
Marcus, Carl Min, Jason, myself : '*laugh*'

Jason actually fell down from the chair - the result of laughing too hard. Lol!!

Jocelyn Wong - Lead vocalist/ keyboardist
Marcus Ng - Lead Guitarist
Yuen Carl Min - Rhythmic Guitarist/ backup male vocalist
Jason Tee - Soon-to-be-Bassist/ backup male vocalist

Ceremony at the Avenue! Drill this name into y'all heads!

As i am writing this now, the song 'You and I Both' keeps playing and replaying in my mind, no thanks to Jason's blog as i opened it in another tab for stealing i mean, grabbing pictures purposes.

On my official birthday, myself, Jaycee, Jasmine, Carl, Jason and Bernice (almost) went for a movie in the infamous mall - Megamall. We watched 'Race to Witch Mountain' starring Dwayne 'The Rock', Annasophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig. It was a pleasant movie, about aliens and stuff. But the boys - being boys - ... Let's just say they weren't that enthusiastic during the movie. Throwing pop corns anyone?

After the movie, we went for a little stroll and walked to ECMall. There, we/ I took some pictures (i became their photographer of the day haha). I am very lazy to write down everything and for more information, Jason's blog is only a click away.

03/18/2009

I went for choir practise, as usual, but only 6 people were there. Obviously, i got fed up and when the teacher is blaming you because your mates were going to KL, there's nothing you can do except explode, literally.

Morning, i was supposed to meet Jaycee and Jasmine in the beach at 5 30am. But because of mother reason, i could not afford to piss her off anymore. Lol. So i stayed at home and went for practise -- as a 'good' girl should.

When we reached school, only did i learn that THEY were walking to my school. Jaycee, Jasmine, Jason, Carl, Paul and Wong. I walked out of school, met them halfway and joined them for the rest of the journey.

After a lot of things happened in school, we went home to my home. There, all of them stayed from 1pm to 6pm. I am very sorry if i am not detailed enough but believe me, i don't quite want to relive these past few days.

For more information again, here is where you'll get it.


I am not so dedicated in blogs and posting and updates anymore. First, i don't have the time. Second, i can't get away from the hound's eyes and third, i have tons of things to do which i am supposed to do but not yet done. So please, pardon me.

I knew this year was going to be very tough. But i did not expect anything like this! Suddenly, the life of a single working mother with three kids and taking double shifts a day doesn't seem so bad anymore. At least she didn't have anyone hovering over her every day and every time.


PS, I now, i mean, my family now inherited a hamster named - ironically - Lucian, the Lycan. No thanks to my brother. 'Baby' Lucian is now driving my nuts!!

PPS, You should watch this.

And this.

Seize the Day - A7X

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time

But I'm too young to worry

These streets we travelled on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while

I can move on with you around

I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?

I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done

We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time

But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one Picture)

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live In

No longer needed here so where do we go?

Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of Death?

But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time

But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one Picture)

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty, and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna

Die alone without you here,

Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?

Whoah, so I never want to leave you, and the memories of Us to see

I beg don't leave me

Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty, and cold without you here, too many people to Ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here

Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day

I stand here dreaming alone

Falling away from me, no chance to get back home

I find this piece very touching.

I am 15

Hello peeps, Jocelyn here. This shall be my new blog from this day onwards. Some bloody idiot hacked my account in MSN, Gmail and Blogger. And the end result -- i need to create a new bloody blog. I shall create this blog as close to my old one as possible, if i could.

Fuck you, bloody hacker. Whoever you are, i shall curse you to loose all your money when you buy lottery.

Ahh, now that i am done scolding/ being mad at that idiot, i feel so much better. In fact, i may be able to forgive him (i know it's a him, i dunno why) for being so damned lifeless/ lame/ idiotic/ stupid/ dick/ asshole/ m*****f*****.

I shall proceed to the main purpose of this post/ update.

On the 17th of March 2009, i turn 15. But, on the 16th of March 2009 evening, i had a barbecue at my house. I think it was kinda boring (shite, even the host herself thinks it's boring), but nonetheless, we had fun and quite an amount of nightmare. I shan't forget the 'weird Q&A game'. It was hyper boring, and super disgusting. Cake cream, noodles, chili, soya sauce, lamb blood, fruit juice with 1% alcohol and three people's saliva. *shudder*

3 minutes in surgra... (Indian accent people!!) (Paul & Carl).

At 7 30pm sharp, i think, the guys - Jason Tee, Syman Lee, Lee and Carl Min - arrived at the front gate of my house -- with gifts!! How they knew it was a gathering for my birthday, i did not know, but i was really glad and surprised. They were very punctual, even for Malaysians, and i was impressed. Honestly, i was expecting them to come much later, being i'm a gal and all and they were guys... Big, older, elder guys. But, they blew my mind right away when they were the first to arrive.


And then, Aruni was the next smart/ pretty gal to arrive. Quite punctual too, if i remember correctly. But when she arrived, she had to walk to somewhere to give something to someone. I dunno who, but boy, am i glad she didn't get eaten by James on the way back here. Obviously, she walked there, and walked back.


'The next one who comes, i shall lock them outside and never call them friends again...' -- JW.

It was almost 8pm when everyone arrived -- everyone being the 15 of us/ them, i mean. Suzzane, Shar Min, Joyce, Tiffany, Vasuki, Jess Min, Jaycee, Jasmine & Bernice. Again, Malaysians proved to be Malaysians (i'm referring to typical Malaysian timing, as you can see). The bbq was supposed to start at 7 30pm, but, they came at almost 8, save the four guys with 'punctual' tattooed at their chest.

But, i love each and everyone of them for coming and celebrate my 15th birthday with me. It meant a lot to me, and i truly appreciate every one's presence -- and presents.

Here are some pictures which might help you picture the evening.

The guys were so interested in the only mushroom in my garden -- i mean, my dad's garden. They took pictures of it. (Oh, i love Jason's DSLR. It's so nice, and it reminded me of my mum's old camera. If i ever win a lottery, i shall buy it).

Supposedly, my light cheese cake. At first, my mum doubted we could even finish it 'cause it was quite big. But, fear not Mother, we finish finished it.

The group photo my mum took for us with Jason's camera. Even she knew how to use it.




My mum's noodle. It was good, from what i've heard.

The picture i snapped out of randomness. Jason was the only one looking my way.

Jasmine, i don't know what you're looking at...

'Photography is an art' - JT.

And then Lee had to go. It was 9 30pm, he was suposed to go to Singapore that night. We were sending him off while Jason took a picture of all of us. Syman, being the geek in the pink.

I think this picture looks perfectly normal, Jason. It's a friendly hug (but look a little...weird)!! Why do you say they're gay??

After that, we played a very boring, weird game, which was unsuccessful, i believe which was Aruni's exact words. Aruni, i am a very lame person. What can you expect me to think up?

So, we headed off to the music room which Carl said could be made into a small recording studio. Wow, never thought of that. We sang some songs, laughed some laughs... It was the good ol' times.

But we played 'I'm Yours' twice. We loved that song!!

And then it was the cam-whoring time.

Carl was being unintentionally funny. Nice guy, nice guy.

In the saloon. They were sort of fascinated. Carl, especially.

Jasmine and I.

Jaycee and I.

Bernice and I.

Syman and I.

Carl and I.

Jason and I.

Carl and Jason. Syman said Carl looked like he's drunk.

It was 12 something in the morning when they all went home. Everyone took the twin's ride back. It was hilarious watching them big guys squeez into a small car. But as long as they reach home safely, that's all i asked for.

Here, i thank everyone for attending my small 'gathering' (party sounds cliche, don't you think?). I sincerely appreciate everyone being here with me and i thank everyone for your presents. How in the world you guys knew it was my birthday, i did not know, but thank you, nonetheless.

PS, All pictures' credits go to Jason (Tee). Though i took some pictures, it is still his camera nonetheless...

Jocelyn - officially 15.
