Day 7: Aso

Yesterday we went to the atomic bomb Peace Park in Nagasaki, there were a lot of statues and erm this particularly big one that's supposed to be very famous, with one hand pointing to the sky (where the atomic bomb dropped) and the other hand pointing towards the ground. He's supposed to be praying for peace or something.
Went to the hypocenter too heh.

Today we went to the atomic bomb museum. Idk, I mean, of course I sympathize with the people, they were innocent people but their lives were destroyed and everything, they all suffered terrible burns and so many people died, some were even reduced to ashes immediately because of the intense heat waves and everything, it was really sad. But like, they weren't the only innocent lives lost what, the Japanese soldiers invaded so many countries and tortured and killed even more innocent people. In fact, everyone who were tortured or killed by the Jap were innocent, it was them who decared the war. Of course the innocent people in Japan shouldn't have suffered, but if you only wanted to kill the guilty, there was only a small group of people you could kill. Even the soldiers aren't guilty in that case. It's not their fault their country declared war what.
Idk. The innocent lives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki shouldn't have be
en lost, but those innocent lives in Malaya and Korea and all the countries the Japanese invaded shouldn't have been lost too. Nobody did anything to deserve to be tortured and killed by the Japanese.
And if the Japanese didn't declare war and go around destroying other countries, this wouldn't have happened to them right? :/

Day 6: Nagasaki

Jt emailed me a link to a JJ vid, in the vid JJ TAKLS ABOUT J4M A LOT OMGOMGOMG HE REMEMBERS US!!!!!!
Unfortunately my mum's Blackberry can't view vids. Will post link up here as soon as I watch it!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH JJ REMEMBERS USSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

On my way to Nagasaki. I lublub Mark's host family's grandmother. The host father damn cute also. He speaks a bit of Chinese so we communicate in Chinese, he calls the grandmother is Lao Lao (old old, as in the Lao in Lao Shi) and he calls his wife his Ai Ren. Damn sweet right!! (To his wife. What he calls his mother is so stupidly cute)
TODAY THE OB PERFORMING CREW WILL BE PERFORMING AT SOME CHARITY EVENT AT HEEREN!!!!!!
Well, J4M isn't performing but the rest if them are (: Zhi Tian, Gary, Gabriel, Adeline and two others I think?
Idk what time it starts but should be in the evening ah. Whoever is free today, go to heeren and support then please!!! And tell me how they did!
It's at that place near HMV. The stage JJ was on during last year's August thing, the first time I went out with Maddie :O

And Mad and Jt: send them my love and support! Scream doubly loud for me!!
Janice: All the best for your band concert! Wo zai jing shen shang zhi chi ni :D

Day 5; Hojo

Yesterday we went to my brother's host family's house, they've got three boys (ages: 9, 12, 14) and a grandmother and the parents haha. The people in Japan marry younger than us I think, I see couples with babies and the couple looks like they should still be in high school eh. Or maybe they're just old but know how to look young. The host parents got married when the father was 27 and the mother was 24.
The grandmother is EXTREMELY CUTE!!! She laughs a lot. And she gave us an umbrella and gloves and food. Very practical stuff and although they seem like stupid presents, they're actually stuff we totally need, the grandmother's really smart luh!
And we had dried persimmons. Something quite unusual. We saw loads of persimmons drying, hanging on roofs of houses, and we were like o.o Then the grandmother gave us a few to try.
They looked totally disgusting. The one I ate resembled a dried up cock. I took a picture of it but yeah can't upload yet. But it was DAMN DELICIOUS K!!! Super sweet. Like, the inside is dried but all the sweetness remains inside the persimmon.
Then the guys took out their Wii :DDDD the 9 year old kid is freaking cute. Took lots of pictures of him heh. I just wished I captured his expression when he tried his dad's sake.

In the host father's car now, no idea where he's taking us.$

I like the towns much much much more than the cities. In Kawaguchigo, when the green man was on a cute tune would play!
But the bad thing about living in the towns is that there are very few lights around. I mean, it's super quiet. But the people are super nice and the scenery is damn nice. And there's no stresd when I talk to people. I feel intimidated when I'm around people in Tokyo, especially the chio ones. I'm scared of chio people. I bet if I were a student in a school in Tokyo I'd be bullied to death cos I'm too ugly. The people in the towns are really friendly and enthusiastic and everything.
I can't wait to go to Miyazaki in a week's time. I love Miyazaki k! One day I'll pull j4m and Baby along (:

Nov 27, 2008

I blog so much I doubt anyone actually reads my posts

Short skirt or long skirt, all Jap uniforms have one thing in common:
THEY'RE ALL FREAKING NICE.
Singapore should learn a bit from them, seriously. I mean, LOOK at their uniforms. And look at ours.
Or look at MY school's uniform. -.- Yellow and turquoise hahaha. Somemore the blouse is so transparent we might as well be topless.

3 hours on the bullet train.

I still haven't uploaded our 1st year anni pics into our Lj. I'm such a sucker.

Day 4: Kasai

Left Tokyo, going to visit my brother's host family in Kasai, will be staying there for two nights before moving on.
I'm in a bullet train!!! JJ has an old song called Bullet Train (nah I'm listening to You Ni Xuan Ze now. LOVE THIS SONG TTM) hehe.

And laogong: IT'S OUR THIRTEENTH MONTH LOVE!!!!!!!
(My mum's Blackberry can't bold it or anything but I would put it in the largest font if I could)
Last year on this date, I had to leave for Japan. Now, I'm in Japan already. :/ 27 Nov has some weird connection with me going to Japan uh.
But remember that no matter how far apart we are, deep down we'll still always be as close as ever, because our emotions still affect each other even though we're thousands of kilometres apart and I don't even know how you're feeling. I feel sad when you're sad even if I don't know how you're feeling at that moment.
It sounds stupid, or weird, or scary because it's like subconscious telepathy, but it isn't. It's love connecting our hearts together.
And our hearts will continue beating together forever, no matter how far away we are physically or how old we are. We're thirteen months old, baby. And we'll keep on counting because there'll be no end, because that's how long we'll love each other.

I'm talking in circles. Must be because of the song I'm listening to (or the blurblur singer who's singing it. Yeah so now I've caught his disease and I'm going blurblur also.)

Day 3:Harajuku

Hahaha so funny. Yesterday I bought a pair of boots that cost about 14 000 yen (about SGD200). Damn expensive. They weren't the nicest pair there but the nicer ones were about 20 000 yen (about SGD300) so I settled for the cheaper one lah.


And then today I went to this street with a lot of shops at Harajuku, and the boots there cost...

Around 2000 yen (SGD30) HAHA. My poor mum was so pissed.

Bought stupidly cute socks for j4m and Sumay heh. Sumay'd probably give me the diao face and say it's stupid but whatever.

My bro says I look like a Japanese because of my dressing. Today I wore my black longsleeved turtlrneck (from Pull and Bear I think) and the $130 Espirit jacket and my black shorts and black knee-length socks and the boots haha.
But it's damn easy to tell that I'm not a Japanese please. They're all so chio and I look like crap. Plus their hair all looks damn nice and I look like a lion.

Saw THAT pair of headphones I've always wanted, the huge round ones with a star in the middle, OMG!!! The one Selina wore on S.H.E's Wu Yue Tian mv. But they only had it in green so I left that shop without buying it because I thought I'd be able to find it somewhere else.
But like after that I went to more than five electronics BUILDINGS (whole buildings that sell only electronics k, it's scary, they have abt 8 floors per building) AND I STILL COULDN'T FIND IT ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
I'll continue looking for it. Who wants me to help them buy? They're damn cute! Should cost around $45-$60 ba. I can't pay for you k, you gotta pay back cos it's damn ex eh!

Nov 25, 2008

2nd day, in the train

I feel like peeing..and I've one more hour before the train reaches Shinjuku. Die.
Er, I'm supposed to spend the first 3 and a half days in Tokyo. Today's the second day. We took two trains to a town called Kawaguchiko or er something like that. We planned to take a bus to Mt Fuji but the bus wasn't in operation on that day cos apparently it was snowing there. So we walked around and went to this cable car thing. It's a big carriage everyone gets on to, and it takes us up this extremely steep mountain (the carriage is suspended by a cable) up to this place haha. There was this heart-shaped metal rod thing (k I suck at descriptions) with a big bell in the middle, I think it's for couples to ring. So sweet right, I wish Baby was there to ring it with me ): and there was a wall nearby and there were a lot of messages written by couples on wodden tablet card thingies hanging there. Damn cute, most of the messages in Jap had hearts all over the messages. There was one frim a les couple in Singapore and they were going to migrate to Canada haha.
Ate creamy ice-cream yay!
And students from the towns have long skirts, longer than mine, some even go below the knee haha they look very cute. Those from the cities have freaking short skirts, they'd get expelled immediately if they were from Crescent man. Or any school in Singapore for that matter.

Crap lah I reeeeeeeally need to pee. 1 more hour to go. :/ crapcrapcrapcrap I'm freaking urgent
Not funny.

my nose is running

Will be going to Mt Fuji later. Not sure if we'll be clinbing it or not.
I'm wearing the thumb warmer and Baby's ring under my glove (:

I'm sorry, I was so selfish, I only thought of myself, I don't even know what's going on in your life anymore.
Why were you so depressed love? Please don't be. I need you, and I need you to be happy too. I love you.

23 Nov 00:32am, in the aeroplane

I heart my mum's Blackberry. But it can't check Hotmail, so if anyone wants to email me, please email karenhowenee@gmail.com!

I love SIA, Krisworld ricks because they always have JJaks songs! And Krisworld now has Zuma and other cool games! I used to love their Pokemon games. I remember playing it on the plane to Aussie with Sumay 4 years ago :P
They've got great songs! JJ's Qi Dai Ai compilation album, Evan Yo's latest album (I didn't know he had a new album!), Nan Quan Ma Ma, Lin You Jia, Xiao Jing Teng, Guo Jing, Fan Wei Qi and others.. Basically I'm going crazy now.
And they can do playlists! Mine has 59 songs. From Qi Dai Ai to Mamma Mia (musical evening's fault I like abba again!)

Madness.
I'm in Singapore, wearing a thick jacket, sweating like mad because it's 35 degrees. I step into a plane.
6 hours later, I step out of the plane. I'm wearing the same thick jacket, plus another top underneath, and I'm shivering like mad because it's 3 degrees. -.-

By the way, I'll probably be blogging a lot thanks to my mum's Blackberry, but I can't upload pics so the posts are going to be damn wordy.
I see my reader count dropping already.

Nov 23, 2008

Japanese tea?

Hahaha only one person will get that stupid joke XP


At the airport now, Terminal 3, waiting to board the plane. Using those free wireless access computers at the gates. Not used to having a keyboard where all the keys work because my tablet's keyboard was screwed haha.


OB VERY SINGER TRAINING COURSE ROCKEDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

Was super nervous at first. For my individual audition, I wanted to sing Yi Shi De Mei Hao at first but made a last-minute desicion to switch to Zhi Shao Hai You Ni (my Vocal Beginners' exam song) because I sounded like a dying tortured pig in Yi Shi De Mei Hao. Janice was supposed to sing Zui Chi Bi and Mad was going to sing Sha Shi Bi Ya De Tian Fen. In the end, we all decided to withdraw from our individual auditions and just take part in the group one instead (the 4 OBJMs) because it turned out that for the group auditions, the registration fee wasn't $20 per group but $20 PER PERSON, and the individual fee was $20 per person as well, so that'd add up to $40 per person wth haha. *Stares at empty wallet*


The group audi was GREAT! Did an acapella medley (again) - Jt and Janice beatboxers/main voices, Maddie main voice, I was the harmony.

The judges were JJ, Billy Koh (Xu Huan Liang) and some other guy. They looked impressed! We sang a medley of four songs: Hui You Na Me Yi Tian (verse), Heal The World (chorus), Kong Qiu Qian (chorus) and SPOP Hurray (chorus). Hurray was a last-minute change, the last song was supposed to be Ling Ting Shi Jie but we changed it right before we went to register because Jan found Hurray easier to beatbox to and we sorta sounded better in it.
When Jan started beatboxing in Kong qiu qian (Jt beatboxed the first two songs and Jan did the last two)
JJ looked up at us with an impressed "what? ooh!" Expression haha, you know, the one where he gives that blur look and then raises his eyebrows and then nods in the way that says "not bad!" Wahaha, and later he started bopping his head along to Jan's beatboxing haha. JJ's the cutest can!
And later Billy Koh asked us if we'd done this acapella at events before and we said OB In-house concert haha, and he asked us for all our schools. When I said Crescent JJ nodded in that "not bad" way again LOL! JJ asked Jt and Jan if they learnt beatboxing on their own and he looked impressed when they said they learnt from videos haha. Was very happy because Billy and JJ seemed happy with our performance:D went crazy after the auditions, and had a little praying session together afterward.
And Billy asked us how we got together as a group and we all laughed paiseh-ly and Jan said we all met in JJFC and JJ gave an amused laugh XP
And when we were walking back to the MRT station, this Taiwanese journalist followed us and interviewed us, HOW COOL IS THAT!
He said he was impressed by our performance because it was unique, and started asking us a lot of questions haha. He took down our Chinese names, which pissed Maddie off because she doesn't like being known as Li Wen Bin XD Anw, damn cool lah. Look out for us in some Chinese newspaper/magazine :D
Later Janice and Mad went for the JJ party and when JJ was autographing Jan's album he daid she beatboxed very well! And he told Maddie to jiayou! And apparently he wanted to say something else to Jan but the security guard shooed her off the stage WTF *hurls Hokkien vulgarities* Wish I could go to the JJ party but I had to go to the airport (and Jt accompanied me (:)
Anw, I think this is our most successful audition yet:D Jiayou peeps, I've confidence that we'll make it to the next round!

Oh by the way, from today onwards we're known as J4M. JJ knows us by that name now, and thus that shall be the name everyone will know us by ;) J4M because we are JMs (Jie Mi, which means JJ fans in Chinese), and our love for JJ is the reason we got to know each other, and our love for Music is what bonds us together, thus J is in front and M is at the back. And obviously, the 4 represents the four of us.
Our name means JMs for(4) Music. We're JMs who want to spread our love for Music (:
C'mon, admit the name makes sense!

JJJJJJJJJJJJ

Half the keys on my keyboard aren't working, I'm using the Tablet Pc Input Panel thing. SO SLOW
My mum got me a pair of checkered flats($30)! Damn cute. Very christmassy, maybe I'll wear them for Carolling:D Also got a pair of skinnies ($50), and because my butt is one size bigger than my legs my pants fit my waist but are quite loose at the leg area -.- but I still love them anw! OH AND she bought me this super nice Espirit jacket ($130) after much persuasion. For my Japan trip, but can be used for cold places here too (eg. PAT) It's currently the most expensive thing I have in my wardrobe. >.<>


JJ@Kbox Cineleisure!

Janice was put in charge of opening the door for JJ, OMG!!
Rushed there after Dance. Love my new shoes but they gave me blisters on both feet within 5 minutes of walking in them. New shoes mah. Limped all the way to Kbox.

Jt and Mad and I sat together. JJ SUPER CUTE! He beatboxed his way to the stage haha. Idk why but he sorta looks younger and his complexion looks better. Maddie said it's just his hairstyle. Yeah probably.
Carol and the other JJFC radio DJ were the emcees so they asked him a few stupid questions. JJ's blurness is super funny k. And his STM is worse than mine (!!!)
Talked a bit of crap, then there was this checkered clothes dressup competition thing, Debra got 3rd, Alicia got 2nd and Dorothy won (:
Watched the video of the FC Gathering on his birthday (I didn't go D:) his expressions were so hilarious, haha, Celeste said when we were watching the vid and all of JJ's stupid expressions she heard him say (Ohmygod) and laugh quietly haha (she was sitting very near him). JJ's the craziest guy ever lah, so cute!
Oh and Carol asked us to name a song for JJ to sing and see if he'd forget the lyrics or not, and crazy Jt shouted "Xing Qiu!" (A song in his first album) and he went "HAR?!" Damn cute haha. But he was able to sing the first four lines! Considering the level of intensity of his STM, it's considered damn good already ok!
Andand there's this JFJ tee that'll be released on 22 dec, the design doesn't have anything to do with JFJ but it's still v cute! It looks like, uh, a fat rainbow-coloured bowling pin in a rainbow-coloured ring o.o Will upload a pic of the design when I can. Anw, they were giving out 50 $20 vouchers for it, so we'd pay $49.90 for it instead of $69.90, but still quite ex then we started whining to JJ and saying we were students and it was beyond what we could affors, then he was like "Har, erm okay lah I'll buy 10 tees for 10 of you okay?" SO SWEET RIGHT! He spent $690 on 10 of the FC members can! I mean itks probably loose change to him or whatever but it's still damn sweet can!
Well I wasn't ont of the 10 but all the 5jms (Mad, Jan, Jt, Celeste and I)got the vouchers :D
He sang Wo Hai Xiang Ta with the MV (Kbox mah!) Then like in the MV there's this part where he gets knocked down by a lorry, so when he was singing, he suddenly covered his ears and did that stupid expression I always do (eyes squeezed shut, grinning in the way where you bare all your teeth like as if you're in extreme pain) then at first I was like "huh?" Then the lorry crashed haha. JJ's full of crap lah.
Love love love him and hoe he talked complete crap throughout the whole event, because it showed that he was very relaxed and happy and being himself, and that's what's most important (:
Erm, I forgot what else happened during the event (blame it on my STM. I got it from JJ ok!) So if anyone remembers anything else do tell me!

Nov 18, 2008

choir

I admire Choir. Nice voices. I want to learn to sing in that choir way. I mean, it's useful. Yah, I was in Choir for six years in Primary school but I didn't really get to learn much of it, stupid eh. And anw I've forgotten everything I've learnt, so even if I did learn that voice I can't remember anything about how to achieve it.
I admire the Sops especially. Man their voices are so damn high. My vocal range has dropped leh. I used to be able to hit a high F (the octave above middle C ah) damn effortlessly (in Take These Wings. Loveeeee that song) and now I can't even reach it anymore. And I've difficulty reaching E already. ASS LAH! I was in Sop in p1-3 and Alto in p4-6. :/ I wish I could have my old vocal range back.

Nov 17, 2008

GRR

I JUST GAVE UP THE CHANCE TO PERFORM AT MEDIACORP'S 45TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION THINGY BECAUSE IT CLASHES WITH MY JAPAN FLIGHT!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!

Yeah Xueling told me she wanted me to perform with some other girl I didn't know or something, but it's on the 23rd (the day I'm leaving), at night (I have to be at the airport by 9) so I couldn't.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

As if missing JJ Party 3 ANDDDDD the Heeren event and all the events on the 22nd isn't enough. Man performing means a lot to me okay.

But maybe it's for the better. Maybe I'd freak out on stage and sing all the wrong notes and die. Or maybe they'd decide to ask me questions in chinese, and I'd say what I said during the curry puff show filming thing ("I cannot speak Chinese!")

Nov 16, 2008

fuck it

Why can't we get through just one day, just a single day, without being mad at each other?

思念是一种病

The amount of feeling that can be injected into a kiss is amazing.

It was so full of sadness and love, so full of it that my heart was aching from trying to contain it all, I wanted to lie on the floor and hug you and cry till my heart felt better.

I miss you.

This holiday sucks

Monday: Dance prac (9-5)
Tuesday: Dance prac (9-5)
Wednesday: Practice for Very Singer Training Course audition @ OB with OBJMs
Thursday: Dance prac (9-5), JJ @ KBOX (7.30pm. I'll be all sweaty and stinky from Dance)
Friday: Practice for Very Singer Training Course audition @ OB (Hopefully we can practice, even if Jan can't make it, because we seriously need more time to practice)
Saturday: Musical Evening prep + performance (until 10pm, what time does it start? Maybe JMs can practice for the audition before that, if there's time?) (I'LL BE MISSING THE CAKE DESIGN COMPETITION + TAKING PICTURE WITH JJ + JJ @ SHENG SIONG SHOW, WTH, 3 EVENTS IN A DAY AND I CAN'T GO)
Sunday: Very Singer Training Course audition (morning)(JJ WILL BE THERE), and I'll be flying off to JAPAN :D (I'LL BE MISSING JJ PARTY 3!!!!! D:)

My week is officially screwed.
Look, I have to prepare our group + my own performance for the Very Singer Training Course audition, and we only have ONE practice where all four of us can make it. Thanks to Musical Evening and Jan's Band performance. UUUUGGGGHHHH.
AND I'M MISSING A BLOODY 4 JJ EVENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
And I'm / we're so dead.
And JJ will be there watching us making a fool out of ourselves because we cannot remember the lyrics/where to come in.
Yeah. I rock. WHY'S EVERYTHING CLASHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
So many things happening this week and I'm missing so much. I WANT TO SEE MY JJ LEH!
And we need practice!!
JMs, we cannot fool around on Wednesday k, must spend the time wisely because it's all we've got. Let's not make embarrass ourselves again. Remember the audition for the OB thing, where we tried singing I'm All Out Of Love and then during the audition we stoned down there because we couldn't remember what song was next and we all ended up humming and la la la-ing because we couldn't remember the lyrics? FREAK ASS LAH. Let's not do that in front of JJ ok?

Nov 15, 2008

OB update

Xueling put us in the PERFORMING CREW CLASS!!!!!!!! 
Together with Adeline (I STILL DONT BELIEVE SHE'S IN UNI), Gary (Superband!), Gabriel (:DDDDD), Zhi Tian (HAHAHAHA), and a few others I don't know (because the names I listed above were people we performed in the OB In-house Concert with). Anyway, PERFORMING CREW!!!!

That's one wish striked off my wishlist :D Vocal performing crew = We get to sing at various events organized by OB, or other events that invited OB to perform at.
We also get grooming courses that sort of prepare you to be a star. HOW COOL'S THAT! It's like the Very Singer Training Course but less intensive.
However, I can't sign the contract because I'll be having my O's next year and my dad won't want me to go for most of the grooming classes and everything. DAMN SAD! But I hope that even if I don't sign the contract I'll still be in. Forgot to ask laoshi! Will ask when I see her again.

The vocal crew's first performance will be on 29 Nov @ Heeren. (: Do go support them!
I can't perform because I'll be in Japan :D, and Jan can't perform because she's got her band concert on that date. So there was only Jt and Maddie left in our group, and Xueling introduced another girl into the group to help them - Ke Ting, who's 12 (She joined CSS3 and got into the second round! GO KETING!!!), but three people still couldn't really do anything because JT was the beatboxer and there had to be two people singing the main, so there was no backup (Heh I feel so important now), so Xueling cancelled their performance. So the 4 of us won't be performing on the 29th ):
But Jt and Mad, go to the heeren event and show your support for everyone who's performing k? Tell all of them I said hi and I miss y'all and good luck!
AND HELP ME RECORD THEIR PERFORMANCES TOO! :D


VOCAL PERFORMING CREWWWWWWW!

I can imagine

I'm arguing with my love, and we've been getting angry at each other every day for as long as I can remember;
I'm looking at a very skinny and very pretty person's blog and looking through all her pictures;
I've just decided that I won't eat anything after 8, or after dinner, despite the fact that I get hungry every two hours;
The JJ video Jan & Cel asked me to watch has been refusing to load for the past few hours;
I'm talking to Jan about how skinny __'s and ___'s thighs are, and about envy, because some people have got the only thing we've wanted for our whole lives;
I'm trying to think of a way to convince a best friend not to be depressed, and.. not to commit suicide.

My life couldn't get any better.

Two emo people talking about death

Thank you, Jt and Janice, for saving me from going completely insane.

To XX: I'm here for you, don't forget me. Hang in there, don't kill yourself. We're here for you, even though we can't give you what you need, we're giving you all we can, and I hope you can feel our sincerity. She loves you and you know it, stop saying she doesn't. You know better than that. I do, anyway. I know you know better than that.

Taken from a site __ asked me to read

From another rather lengthy website:

I have also found it common for those who consider homosexuality an 'abomination' to ‘prove’ their cause by quoting every scripture they can find pertaining to sexual sin and promiscuity. It is important to understand that we Christians in the gay community also are a hundred percent against sexual sin. The difference lies in the fact that we do not believe God has singled out any particular community or nation of people as ‘evil’ or ‘sinful’, believing instead that God’s edicts are applied without prejudice to all peoples and communities; homosexual and heterosexual alike. Therefore before calling homosexuality a sin, one should interrogate Scripture to find if this premise is even true. Unfortunately, many well meaning Christians are just repeating what they have heard from the pulpit or attempting to frame God’s will around their prejudices and fears.

The original (biblical) text was written in Hebrew (Old Testament), and Greek (New Testament) and only later translated into English. By later, we do mean much later as the first English version of the Bible that gained a relatively wide distribution[1] was the Tyndale Bible in 1534 AD and later still the King James translation in 1610 AD. Right or wrong, many of our present day doctrines are based on these early translations or offshoots from these works.

However our biggest challenge lies in the fact that the English language is very limited when compared to the Greek dialect. This problem was highlighted with the word “love”. In the Greek language there are at least three different words to describe various forms and attributes of love, while in English we lump all three together with the single word “love”. This is not very descriptive and cannot begin to convey the levels of intensity with which we may love someone or something.

With this in mind, you can see why inadvertently during translation, verses can take on a meaning that was never intended. In other words, God's perfect word may get muddied when man attempts to give the Lord a hand in translating His book!


And another website: (link)
Jesus never taught for or against homosexuality.  This raises the question, if homosexuality truly is a sin worthy of eternal damnation, as some believe it is, then why didn't Jesus discuss it? He certainly preached at length concerning every other sin listed  in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and Timothy 1:9-10. Why would He leave this one out? 

(Jessie, don't bother)

___ wants me to post this up:

http://www.christianadvice.net/homosexuality_and_the_bible_wink.htm

14.
The Old and New Testaments both regarded slavery as normal and nowhere categorically condemns it. Part of that heritage was the use of female slaves, concubines and captives as sexual toys or breeding machines by their male owners, which Lev. 19:20f., 2 Sam. 5:13 and Num. 31:18 permitted--and as many American slave owners did some 130 years ago, citing these and numerous other Scripture passages as their justification.

The Problem of Authority
These cases are relevant to our attitude toward the authority of Scripture.
Clearly we regard certain things, especially in the Old Testament, as no longer binding. Other things we regard as binding, including legislation in the Old Testament that is not mentioned at all in the New. What is our principle of selection here?

For example, modern readers agree with the Bible in rejecting:
incest
rape
adultery
intercourse with animals.

But we disagree with the Bible on most other sexual mores. The Bible condemned
the following behaviors which we generally allow:
intercourse during menstruation
celibacy
endogamy
naming sexual organs
nudity (under certain conditions)
masturbation (Catholicism excepted)
birth control (Catholicism excepted).

And the Bible regarded semen and menstrual blood as unclean, which we do not.

Likewise, the Bible permitted behaviors that we today condemn:
prostitution
polygamy
levirate marriage
sex with slaves
concubinage
treatment of women as property
very early marriage (for the girl, age 11-13)

And while the Old Testament accepted divorce, Jesus forbade it.

Why then do we appeal to proof texts in Scripture in the case of homosexuality
alone, when we feel perfectly free to disagree with Scripture regarding
most other sexual issues?


Aiyah I know y'all are going to start a debate, what is important what isn't etc.
(Oh yah, Jessie, I wanted to post up that male domination thing but I forgot.)
Just read the link if you want to. It's super wordy.
And anyway, many people interpret the Bible in different ways. (E.g. Jt's Bible Study said Adam was a transsexual because God made Eve out of him)
We all strongly believe in what we've been taught, but how do we know if what we've been learning is really right? We'd obviously fight hard for what we think/believe is right, but how do we know which interpretations are really right? Only God knows right. ;)

OMG
ASK HER GO SING HER OPERA THING AND FREAK THE CROWD OUT 

Yes we all remember the days she'd go around singing the Phantom of the Opera song in that opera way and leave everyone in class screaming and covering their ears and asking her to "leave that song alone!"
Cuixiao is the bomb.

English lessons

(P.S. I'm beginning to blog so many times in a day. Scary)

I'm not an English pro, and my vocabulary sucks, but even I can spot terrible mistakes from people who think they speak damn well. And I don't know if I should feel like laughing or feel sorry for them.

Here goes:
1) Worse vs. Worst
"Worse" is used during comparison of (usually) two things, worst is used for 3 or more things and is used to describe THE WORST thing. :/

Correct usage of the words "worse" and "worst": 
"Math homework is worse than English homework"
"My brother behaves worse than yours"
"My hair looks worse than normal"
"What's even worse was that..."

"Math homework is the worst of all"
"My results were the worst in the level"
"You're the worst person I've ever met"
"The worst thing was that..."

Wrong usage of the words:
"What's even worst was that..."
"You're worst than Sam!"
"Don't try to help, you'll make things worst."

2) Stuffs
The plural for stuff is STUFF. Not stuffs.
Stuffs is an action word 
e.g. "Teacher Stuffs Sock Into Student's Mouth As Punishment For Retaliating" 
Apparently stuffs as a plural is used sometimes in American English or something e.g. "This company exports foodstuffs worldwide" or uh something like that. Anyway Miss Karen Tan says it's wrong. AND IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE!

What I see on a LOT of blogshops (totally wrong):
"Selling many cute and adorable stuffs!"
"Please help me clear my stuffs!"
"Stuffs you wouldn't want to miss!"
That is undoubtedly wrong okay.

Examples of the correct usage of "stuff" (as a noun):
"Stuff you wouldn't want to miss!"
"I emptied my bag and chucked the stuff under my bed" (haha)

Ammonia

A particular teacher: I know y'all like the smell of Ammonia right.
Teryne: Eww! Who'd like the smell of Ammonia?
Janeen: He lah, he smells of it.

Mr Choy's the cutest

"I don't sing this kind of music one! I sing Chinese pop, Cantonese pop!"

Janeen:
"Mr Choy, I heard that you're a member of NUM! Wah in seh!"
"NUM? What's NUM?"
"Mr Choy you're a terrible liar!"

LEEHOM CONCERT

MUSICMAN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Met Jt after my piano class. The theme for today was "Funky hair" (WTH!) so I decided to get dark reddish-royal purplish hair extension (: Looked really nice (in my opinion, the colour went really well with my hair) but the problem was that because it was nylon and not real hair, the extension was damn straight and my hair's wavy and curls in a bit at my neck (uh those who saw me with my hair down before would know maybe? I don't know how to describe it -.-), the extension looked damn obvious, it was like sticking out of my hair. Looked super gross. So I decided to tie two ponytails haha. The extension became kind of hidden so it wasn't obvious at all.
Jt bought blue hairspray and at my house she sprayed a looooooot because nothing showed up at first. So when the hairspray dried and the colour started to show, I started to panic while Jt went "Cool!" (She didn't think it was cool but she decided to delude herself because there was nothing she could do to get the colour off without messing up her hair because she'd just styled it). And my mum said my hairstyle was "Very Taiwan! Very nice!" and Jt kept laughing at me and calling me Jessie D: 
But Jessie's hair is very nice lah. (:

Met Janice at Kallang Leisure park and she'd just had a haircut ($37. Damn nice! Her hairstyle is always what I've wanted), and she wanted extensions too so we walked around and came to this shop that had really cool extensions, she got a pinkish-red one. :O

Ate at KFC but the place was so small and it was so crowded and the queue stretched out of the place, so we just sat outside the shop. And then people started following us, including this damn cute (as in baby cute, because I think he looks around 14) Korean guy :D
Oh and we saw Jonathan Leong :P I think he'd look cool with a blue or slightly silverish hair extension :P

The concert was FREAKING COOL K! He started with that Yin Yue Zen Me Le song. I'm not sure if that's the title but anyway it was damn high. And he sang W-H-Y. He also sang Hua Tian Cuo :D
OH AND HE BLOODY SANG MY FAVOURITE SONG!!!!! JANICE AND I SCREAMED 5 TIMES HYSTERICALLY TO EACH OTHER HAHAHAHA. OMG I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE DI YI GE QING CHEN!
这是爱    我们的爱     还不确定     缺好实在
把你贴在胸怀      静静的       代替表白        在不愿放开  (:

Oh and he played the drums, guitar, violin and piano. His violin and piano is CRAZY MAN! OMG! HOW DOES HE GO THAT FAST, *HYPERVENTILATES*
And the way he played When You Wish Upon A Star with the violin was damn touching, full of emotion, I probably would've cried if I wasn't trying so hard to guess what song it was the whole time. And then, and then, he played LUO YE GUI GEN!!!! Janice and I screamed 5 times again (:

And the piano looked far too small to him, and he was sitting in a really awkward position. Jt guessed it was because he was trying to get nearer the mike? Shrug.
But he played some song on the piano (I can't remember what), and then he started playing this tune super freaking fast, I'm guessing it was a classical piece, and again, he injected so much emotion into it, it was so beautiful. (Eh, JJ does that too :D :D :D)
And then he played a chord, and then I told Janice "WEI YI, WEI YI, WEI YI!"
AND THEN HE PLAYED THE FIRST TWO NOTES OF WEI YI!!!!!!
Janice and I started screaming like crazy, and we were the first two to scream before everyone else. Quite cool right. Heh heh heh. First time I had a fast reaction. But anyway, I was screaming my head off, because Wei Yi sounds damn good on the piano :D
Baby, 我已不能多爱你一些 (:

Then he pretended to be four people at once, haha, one was wearing a blue suit, one was wearing red, one was wearing yellow, and the lead singer (the real him lah) was in white. My dad says the faces they showed on the screen were all him because they were pre-recorded, only one on stage was the real him. The stage is so far away and everyone looks so small on stage you can't really see their faces, so you rely on the screens a lot what. :D

And his dancers had this damn slutty outfit. Ughhhhhh. But the guy dancers were FRIGGIN COOL, I wish I could dance like them haha, they're so... loose. Like, their movements seem very fluid. Yah.

And he did this cool thing where they were doing some poem thing, and then he disappeared from the stage, and the next second he appeared, like, at the block of seats FREAKING NEAR US. Omg I was so shocked k, we all screamed and ran towards him but he walked in the direction away from us so I didn't get to see him up close or anything >_< I can't even remember what song he sang.

The last encore song he sang was Kiss Goodbye. I knew it okay, especially because they brought the piano up again. I told Janice the last song he was going to sing HAD to be Kiss Goodbye, and Janice and I kept screaming "KISS GOODBYE! KISS GOODBYE!" when he was thanking the sponsors and everything, we chanted "Kiss Goodbye" until he played it. OMG! HAHAHAHAHA. I tell you, I'm psychic.

Throughout the entire concert, I sang like a mad freak, I sang till my voice was shaky, I sang till my voice cracked, I sang till I was completely out of pitch I might as well have been singing a totally different song and nobody would've known the difference. I screamed every song out, screamed the high notes out. I was ... a mad freak. I've got a sore throat now, no surprise -.-

And Jt's aim was to be as extra as she could hahaha. When everyone was screaming, she's shout (in her really low voice) "AAAARGHHHH!" like as if someone was robbing her or something, quite a number of people looked back HAHAHA.
And when Leehom was talking, Jt would blow her whistle whenever he paused for a comma or full stop. WAH LAO! HAHAHA

Didn't take any pictures of the concert. I've learnt my lesson. Everytime I tried to take pictures or videos during the JJ concert they'd turn out so shitty, and I'd find others on the Net and they're so much better so I'll never look at my own recordings and pictures anyway. So I'll upload pics and videos when I find them on the Net. I only took pictures  of us (:


Three JJ fans at a Leehom concert.

He was singing Gai Shi Ying Xiong, I was screaming after him all the way.

During the encore, he played the piano and sang Ni Bu Zai *screams* He sang that song with JJ before k!

The last encore song he sang was Kiss Goodbye.
I knew it okay, especially because of the piano.
I told Janice the last song he was going to sing HAD to be Kiss Goodbye, and Janice and I kept screaming "KISS GOODBYE! KISS GOODBYE!" when he was thanking the sponsors and everything, we chanted "Kiss Goodbye" until he played it.

Nov 1, 2008

Heh heh heh

HAPPY HALLOWEEN,

The OB JMs decided to dress up heh heh.
But Maddie didn't have anything so she just brought a hairband that had devil's horns.
Janice looked like JJ because of the checkered prints everywhere and the nerdy specs but she insisted they weren't JJ-inspired.
I wore my Ju Hua Tai costume. I looked like a fat grandmother princess.
(Can grandmothers be princesses?)
Crazy JT cut up her old Black Belt (1st Poom) Taekwondo outfit. She tore the right sleeve short (and put the extra sleeve around her bunny bag), and cut holes in the left sleeve. And she put red food colouring all over her exposed arm and Taekwondo outfit. I saw women walking past her and giving her shocked scared stares. HAHAHAHA

When I told Maddie that Wewe looked amused when he saw Jt's and my outfits, Maddie replied
"Lol! Why should he be amused? He's wearing a hideous costume everyday!"
(:
