My heart is like an open highway.
ZOEY.I'm Zoey, I turn seventeen in October and I'm Singaporean. :) I'm 171cm (five feet seven) so I have a thing for guys taller than me. I like sneakers and notebooks, and I love writing, singing and reading. I've also been told that I'm too laidback, I listen to too much music and I wear too much black and grey. (Sources: mom) I like basketball, my favourite food is pasta, I listen to all types of rock music, I think the bass guitar is one of the most amazing things in the world, and I absolutely adore hip-hop dancing, although I can't dance for nuts. My albums are my most prized posessions and my favourite band is definitely My Chemical Romance; their music is everything to me. Some of my other favourite bands are All Time Low, Bowling for Soup, Mayday Parade, Matt & Kim, The Cab, Green Day and Foster the People. Poreotics and I.aM.mE are my favourite dance crews. <3 |

All Time Low.
Six Feet Under The Stars. Time to lay claim to the evidence, fingerprints sold me out, but our footprints washed away from the docks downtown. It's been getting late for days, and I feel myself deserving of a little time off; we could kick it here for hours and just mouth off about the world and how we know it's going straight to hell. Pass me another bottle honey, the Jaeger's so sweet but if it keeps you around then I'm down. Meet me on Thames Street, I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time. In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warming up because the tension's like a fire. We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes and like a bad movie I'll drop a line, fall in the grave I've been digging myself but there's room for two- six feet under the stars. I should've known better than to call you out on a night like this, a night like this. If not for you I know I'd tear this place to the ground, but I'm all right like this, all right like this. I'm gonna roll the dice before you sober up and get gone; I'm always in over my head. Thames Street, I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time. In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warming up because the tension's like a fire. We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes and like a bad movie I'll drop a line, fall in the grave I've been digging myself but there's room for two- six feet under the stars. Time to lay claim to the evidence, fingerprints sold me out, but the footprints washed away. I'm guilty but safe for one more day. Overdressed and underage (what a letdown)- do you really need to see an ID? This is embarrassing as hell, but I can cover it so well, when we're six feet under the stars. Thames Street, I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time. In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warming up because the tension's like a fire. We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes and like a bad movie I'll drop a line, fall in the grave I've been digging myself but there's room for two- six feet under the stars.

And we're all soldiers tonight.
I really shouldn't be listening to The Cab on the day they just had a concert here and I didn't get to go... But well, I'm actually not that depressed about not going. I love them but I only know Symphony Soldier, so it would be a waste to go not knowing anything about their first album and their three EPs.
Anyways, I'm home from a 2d1N TPJC JC1 camp! :) It was really fun, sometimes being tired got the better of us and we all looked bored, but it can't be helped. The camp was great though, I definitely do not regret going.
Day 1 was mainly making up cheers, learning Hawk House cheers, learning mass dance, playing inter-house games and... yeah, games in general. Haha my favourite was probably the one where we played in threes. Kinda hard to explain here, but it was funny and exciting. I love mass dance too :) I love dancing, even if I can't dance!
At night we got some time to bathe. Me and a few other girls used the taps to shampoo and wash our hair omg hahaha. I didn't really like the camp food :/ our usual canteen food is much nicer. Oh and my class loved the field, we went there just to sit and chat after dinner, and we were all like, let's just sleep here LOL but we weren't allowed to anyway.
Bunk was shared with the girls from 12A06, also from Hawk House. We were told to be up by 6.30am, and me and a few others woke up at 5am to bathe. We thought we were geniuses but when we woke up, there were already other people strolling along the corridors with towels over their shoulders ._.
We had amazing race today, we visited a total of four stations- one at simei, one at esplanade and the other two at kallang leisure park I think. We set off in the morning, lunch was at KFC's and we made it back to school around 3.
A few rehearsals and a change of clothes later, it was our turn to perform for Soul Night. I was so damn nervous! I tried my best to look like I was having fun, but it was so much easier during rehearsals with only about 50+ people seated in the spacious auditorium. This real thing was nerve-wracking. The auditorium was soo packed!
I thought we did okay, but later we received feedback that we couldn't really be heard :( Well, at least we kinda had fun hahaha. It was a good experience performing for Soul Night. Later we got to enjoy the rest of Soul Night as spectators, and since I didn't have to worry about preserving my voice for the background harmonies, I went all out!
Me and Khaliesah were screaming our lungs out HAHA. I have two favourite performances- one is of a three-man band that played All The Small Things by Blink-182 and Holiday by Green Day, the other is a solo guy who sang Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute while playing on the piano.
I was totally rocking out to the rock band's performance; it ain't everyday that you get an experience like that. Soul Night was definitely an amazing part of the camp.
After we were dismissed 12S16 went to open plaza at Tampines Mall to hang. We bought food to eat there and just played games. I lost at one game and had to do a forfeit with another guy from another TPJC group that was also hanging at open plaza; we kind of did a stupid dance hahaha.
We had two awesome CGLs, Jason and Khalijah. Me, Shijia and Weiqiang secretly went to buy yogurt for them on behalf of the class :) they're really great, it's not easy being a student leader and I think they were amazingly patient with us.
The night was really fun, I'm actually proud of our class. It's only March and we're already pretty bonded. #12S16 woooo <3

Morning everyone! I'm currently at a bus stoo waiting for Xuemin so we can walk into school together. (that sounds lame) Anyway, I'm soooooo sorry I haven't updated in like ages! And if you remember, I did warn you guys that I might be too busy to update regularly once JC started! ;) I really miss my carefree life during the holidays. Actually, JC life isn't that bad, but maybe it's because it's only March. Other than very little free time to do much other than homework, it's pretty okay. Did I mention I'm in the guitar ensemble? It's actually pretty fun, oh and my class is the bomb. They're awesome :) I had a 2D1N guitar camp friday to saturday. I think overall it was okay. I didn't like night games, but I did enjoy watching movies hahaha and amazing race on saturday. I have another camp coming up, it's for J1s and I hope it'll be loads of fun! My class is performing for Soul Night; I shan't say what we're gonna be doing here, but we'll be singing. We got through auditions, 12 were selected out of 40, so that's great! Alright, Xm is here, gotta go! BYE ~ Nothing Personal.
Sigh. And I'm sorry I haven't really blogged in so long except for that post on the dream I had last week or so.Tampines Junior College is okay I guess. The people are nice, I've made some friends already and everyone is generally friendly. I like my OG, but somehow I feel like I can't really click with them. Different sense of humour. I seldom find people with the same sense of humour as me. This week passed really slowly, in my opinion. It's finally Friday! :D We've been having sample lectures all week. I take GP, PW, H1 physics, H2 chemistry, math and economics. The lecturers are good, me gusto. :) What I find really funny is how we have lectures in either the auditorium or a lecture theatre, where the desks are pulled open, so that means they're all really small, and that in turn means that there is a higher tendency of pencil cases crashing to the floor. The first time around monday, during one of our lectures, the lecturer said something along the lines of "So this is what we'll be covering this year," and then someone's pencil case crashed to the floor. I know it was all purely coincidental, but it was sooo funny! I had this dumb half-smile on my face when that happened and was trying so hard not to laugh. Oh and during another one of our lectures, Huiyun spotted the band badges on my bag. I have three badges on my bag, one of MCR, one of All Time Low and one of Mayday Parade. She inspected the badges one by one, and after that told me she'd never heard of any of the bands. I stared at her and asked, "Then what do you listen to?" And somehow she found my question extremely funny, and burst out into laughter in the quiet lecture theatre. Quite a few heads turned hahhaha Anyway, for my cca choices, I put guitar ensemble first, followed by gavel club, then netball. But I don't think I want to join netball anymore; I'm afraid of getting skin problems and possibly dry hair from all the training under the sun. Me, Maria and her friend Caroline also wanted to join modern dance initially, but we were quite put off after watching the modern dance club's performance during CCA Exhibition on wednesday. I like the guys' part, with all the finger tutting and a bit of dougie-ing, but the girls' part looked a bit slutty to me. Maybe I'm just conservative, but ain't no way I'm sticking my butt out and wiggling it in front of 800 students, let alone teachers and possibly parents. Neither do I want to wear translucent black stockings and mini shorts for entertainment haha. So I guess the dancing wasn't really what I expected. Thought it'd be more contemporary or maybe street-ish but it looked like a kpop dance or something. Anywayz, today I brought my basketball to school because Valerie asked me to. We were gonna play bball during our free periods. PE was first thing in the morning. It was killer, I tell ya. This school really takes PE lessons very seriously. We did three rounds around the field (equivalent to 800m I think), sit-ups, push-ups, crunches and lots of stretching. How I dread the 2.4km Napfa run. After PE was a free period. I played basketball with Valerie, Alvita and Florence, and after Math (which was crazy, I couldn't process anything) I bumped into Xuemin and we played a bit of ball before going to the library. Omg, being in the library in her was hilarious. There were rooms at the back of the library for lessons and J2 studying, and Xuemin kept walking past this window where this guy was studying, just to annoy him. And we just kept laughing at the funniest and most random things possible. HAHAHA Guitar auditions after that with Xuemin and Yiying. We at first entered a room full of people, then a senior divided us into those who had music history and those who didn't know anything about playing the guitar. Me, Xuemin and Yiying were the only girls among the 11 who were in the first group :/ My audition lasted like one minute! It was pretty okay and I really really hope I get into guitar ensemble because I have completely no idea what I'd join otherwise. BYE ~ H-E-Double hockey sticks
(THIS POST WAS MEANT TO BE POSTED YESTERDAY, 9TH FEB.)Okay something mega ultra uber embarrassing happened just now, I met Lifang and Zhenying for dinner (Ahhhh missed them so much I'm so glad I finally got to meet up with them!) and we went to Wendy's. And while we were almost done eating, I ate some of Lifang's baked potato skin and she was very disgusted. I mean, what's wrong? LOL potato skin is nutritious and tasty! Anyway, so I asked if I should ask one of the Wendy's staff if their baked potato skin was edible, and at first they didn't think I was serious about asking hahaha. Zhenying pushed me to go, and I went to ask this lady at the counter. She said 'huh?' and her male colleague answered for her. He said "Yes, it's edible! We scrubbed it!" And while saying it, he did this reaaaally funny face, pretending to hold a potato in one hand, and doing the scrubbing action with it. I had to laugh. And when I went back to my seat, I repeated the whole conversation to Lifang who didn't catch it (while Zhenying heard and saw everything and was laughing away) and I even imitated his facial expression. Then when I turned back after I'd finished talking, I caught him at the exact second when he was bursting into laughter! He was laughing at my facial expression and I could tell that he'd heard everything and saw me repeating the whole conversation omgomgomg the mortification. I seriously considered running to the toilet to hide for a few minutes because it was just sooo embarrassing!!! I thought he wasn't looking T____T Never going back to Wendy's again. (Actually I know I'll probably go back soon cause the food isn't half-bad) Hope he doesn't recognise me the next time I go back. Ahhhhhh. I must've looked like an idiot imitating him LOL And Zhenying said she saw him telling his other colleagues about the incident. Die. I will become the secret staff joke of Wendy's. And... the guy was kinda cute. He had a really nice smile and eyes and... Yeah, that's not the point. Point is, I kept rushing Lifang to finish her food so we could get out of there hahaha. My face and ears were burning red. ~ Thanks for the memories
I had this super creepy dream last night, it started off with me & Christine in my living room, and we were listening to The Black Parade, and it was Cancer playing. I remember the song so loud and clear in my dream. Then after Cancer finished, I wondered what song was gonna come up next, Disenchanted or I Don't Love You (but in real life, it's actually neither, it's Mama)
And just then, this quiet girl's voice came on the speakers: "This next song is a song that I like a lot." I was shocked because nothing like that happens on the album, and me and Christine exchanged glances. Suddenly Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on!
I was like what's going on? Christine took the remote and lowered the volume, but the song remained the same volume. We plugged out the stereo, but still the thing kept playing! We thought we must have taken out the wrong switch, so we went around plugging out everything we could find, all the wires, but as we were doing it, the song just kept playing and it was even becoming louder!
Then somehow I realised it was a dream, and quickly woke up. That always happens to me when I have nightmares.
Anyway, it still felt scary. Face Down is actually a song about an abusive relationship, and how the girl, broken and pained, manages to get the courage to break it off with him. The coincidence is way too scary :/

Remember when I bought you flowers, and you left them out to die?
I apologise for my late of updating! So I'm at home now, not feeling too well, and yeah the other J1s from tpjc are at sentosa now haha. I think tpjc is okay-ish, maybe it'll take time for me to get used to it. But two years are gonna fly by, right? :)I'm quite homesick, and by homesick I'm talking about AHS :( I knew I'd miss it when I left, but now that I'm gone, I miss it soooo much. I guess I kinda took that feeling of familiarity there for granted. The only thing I don't miss about it is definitely the uniform. Tpjc's uniform is wayyyy nicer hahaha. I'm listening to The Cab as I write; never thought alternative rock could feel so soothing. Everything's changing but my music library doesn't. I'm so apprehensive about this whole new-school thing. Can't remember how I felt about entering primary school and secondary school. Why can't secondary school be 6 years long? D: Primary was 6 years, sec sch is 4 years and JC is 2 years. Sighhhhh. I don't think I'm making much sense... I just logged on for the sake of updating. Checked my stats and they've been falling :( I can't blame you guys either, anyway I won't be updating that frequently anymore, as much as I'd like to. Gonna be busy busy busy! Life sucks, and then you die. Ahaha. BYE ~ We're the party, you're the people, and this is how we do.
I turned on my computer to watch American Idol audititions 2012. There's this guy I really like, his name's Reed Grimm and his voice control is just perfect. I tweeted about him and his older brother decided to follow me on twitter hahaha. The wonder of technology. I told his brother Trey he should be proud of Reed, and I hope he shows the tweet to his brother -crosses fingers-Then I watched the best of Steven Tyler from last season. There was this comment which was something like, "I thought Idol would suck after Simon left... then came Steven Tyler." My sentiments exactly! I also watched Steven Tyler sing with Carrie Underwood on her songs Undo It and Walk This Way. They were both so amazing. Carrie has a crazy voice, I don't know how she's not as famous as Celine Dion yet. And now I'm listening to Ian Gillan, possibly the greatest rock singer of all time :) Here's the link to a video of him singing Strange Kind of Woman with Deep Purple. It's nuts how he imitates the electric guitar perfectly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTVmZhoTZgA&feature=related Anyway, I apologise for my lack of updating recently! I've been going out almost everyday because I don't like staying at home, it's kinda boring. It's the eve of chinese new year and my dad's in the kitchen cooking tuan yuan fan. It's one of the few perks of cny; good food *___* The tidbits are only okay though. I like the tapioca chips and love letters. Not such a big fan of bakwa and others like kueh bangkit and pineapple tarts. I can't actually remember what I did on the 20th and the days before, but I know somewhere around the 18th-20th, Lianne and I went to have a sushi buffet. It was yummy, but unfortunately I'm not the kind who can stuff myself silly at one go, though I'm always hungry. I only ate about 3 or 4 plates, 2 (or 3?) chawanmushi and... yeah that's all. Oh but I loved the cheese though. Is it called mentai? It's heavenly :3 Oh well, I'm going to watch my dad kill the lobsters. BYE ~ |
