Breaking News: You lucky Americans and Canadians

So the story is, on Vancouver’s first day of JB concert, they forgot to setup WG’s microphones that they use as part of the dancing props. So WG, who were already on stage, had to stall while they were waiting for the mics.

Considering their limited english and how they usually have scripted speech in English, they did an AMAZING job stalling and work up the crowd. They improvised by teaching (in english) the audience the Nobody dance and the crowd loved it. They (at least Yubin and YeEun) actually spoke english REALLY well.

I love how Ye Eun goes “Pick someone you love” when she was teaching the “point” part of the dance. After that she said “Do you love Jonas?” which really made the crowd excited. That was genius of her.

Check out the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uXPVMVurWI

Also, according to JYP, today on the 2nd Vancouver concert, they put on the best show ever and because of that they were offered to open the entire US tour, which apparently, includes Montreal.

SOIIA, I DEMAND YOU to go and buy a ticket RIGHT NOW and MEET WONDER GIRLS IN REAL LIFE and give Sohee a big cuddle.

I was hoping they’ll go to Salt Lake City, too. Sorry, Trang.  So close yet so far! butttttt maybe you can drive to Provo? GO TRANG GO!

And any of you who lives in the following places:  Edmonton, Provo, Winnipeg, Omaha, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Rosemont, Chicago, Washington, East Rutherford, Boston, Uniondale, Philadephia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, St Louis, Kanasas City, Las Vegas, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Birmingham, Tampa, Ft Lauderdale, Charlotte, Atlanta, Lexington, Nashville, Columbus, Cleveland, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa.

Now, JYP, bring them to Sydney, Australia and I’ll be happy.

/edit/

Okay so it’s not confirmed if canada included, but I’ll keep you posted.

But MIMI, I ALSO DEMAND YOU TO GO.

/update/
Sorry, Trang, they’re not going to Provo anymore :(

“Wondergirls tour date. We r doing every single city that da Jonas brothers r doing except two shows in Rutherford NJ and the July 4th show.”

I fried bananas!

What a stupid title for today’s post :) Yesterday, since it was Monday and Mondays are meant to be boring (not to mention the horrible weather – boring rain and humid air), I decided to fry bananas before bananas are too ‘rotten’ to be eaten. Yes, it’s comfort food :P and yess it’s not as healthy as eating FRESH bananas… but once in a while, it can’t kill, like I ALWAYS say.
Check out the recipe? Click on the image!

I’ve finally been accepted to do some volunteer work in the hospital! I went to my training today and it ends sooner than I expected! I’m excited to fill my Wednesday mornings now (summer’s all about that – filling your days so you don’t feel deprived).

Anyways, shorty blog for the sake of doing something on the computer =) I’ll be going out with my friends now. Hope you guys ALLLL have a wonderful day, or in a few cases, a good night sleep :) !

Phew, the gee syndrome is wearing off

Not that I H  A T E ” Gee ”. I just wasn’t a big fan of it (just like how I couldn’t be hooked with the ‘tell me’ – Wonder Girls). I know I’m a few days late about SNSD new MV for their new song  ’Genie’, but I still want to post it up because the song is quite cute (And the MV too – sexy legs everywhere, sigh… how jealous am I).

Isn’t Taeyeon absolutely gorgeous :P ???

And this blog is to tell everyone out there to watch out for germs. Yes, I am sick -.- And hell yeah, I now remember how it feels like to not have a nose (figuratively speaking, of course)

yog yog yog-aaahhhh

Remember how I went nuts about wanting to slim down a bit and spamming the cbox with my new interest about yoga? No, freak Well I decided to post the first part of the video I’ve been watching :P Let’s just say I’m still not over my new interest and I find it interesting that stretching can make you sweat quite a lot.

(That’s just part 1 – there are like 4-5 parts. Just youtube it and you’ll see)
Now I know not all freaks do 45 minutes of stretching like me (almost everyday), but just watch the entire video once, hehe. I felt ashamed the first time because:

a) Ock Ju Hyun has a great body and I am jealous. Duh.
b) Many yoga poses presented are to balance your muscles from the everyday bad habits that might have made your posture grow bad (for example, for all the ladies like me that always cross their legs when sitting – it’s apparently bad for the hips and the consequences are visible :O ). So, of course I frowned when I watched it because I had all the bad habits she named lol.
c) I discovered I can’t stand on a foot for long. THAT’s really shameful.

Now if I told you I see apparent result after a week of yoga everyday wouldn’t be a lie. I’m not saying that I don’t have an inch of fat anymore, but I do notice a few parts becoming firmer and ”thinner” (hips and upper part of our dear bellies)… So give it a try yeah? Just a week or two =) It just can’t go wrong.

Out with the old, in with the new

I have no update whatsoever but I would like to blog!

I came back from holiday a week ago. Took me a week to sort out my life house. I did some shopping during the holiday and when I came back I realised I have no space to put my new stuffs. So, over the weekend, I made my husband go through his old clothes and throw them away *evil grin*. Why not my clothes? Because I did that a long time ago with my clothes that didn’t fit anymore.  But I did go through all my clothes once more on Saturday but when you don’t really grow anymore,  it’s kinda hard to pick the ones to throw because they all still fit. Some may not fit perfectly but I need them for “slim days” and “fat days”, you know?

I also went through my bank statements and any other kind of statements. It’s amazing I still kept stuff from 1999. Like my receipt for my first college fee, my first college timetable, university acceptance, and other sentimental things like that. I decided to let them go. They took too much space. And as we speak now, I have my internet banking open and I’m opting for eStatements in the future. Save some trees (ugh it says “This function is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” – sorry trees, I’ll try again later).

I watched this movie over the weekend called “crossing over”. It’s about people trying to “cross over” (i.e. migrate) to the US (it’s a fiction). There was this girl from Australia who wanted to “make it” in the US as an actress. She went through a lot including “selling herself cheap” to an immigration officer for a greencard. I thought, why oh why. Australia is a great country, why is she so desparate. I would understand if she was from third world country. However, at the end she turned the officer to the police and voluntarily leave US for home. Good on her.

It made me think though, and I feel very grateful that I didn’t have to go through any particular hardship to be where I am today. I’m also grateful for the facilities and conveniences available  to me. I followed my husband for a work trip to ZhengZhou, China. Man, it wasn’t pretty. We stayed in this hostel in the university. It seems like it’s already one of the best accomodation available on campus. The beds were hard, the toilet wouldn’t flush toilet paper, the shower had no shower head. The door looks really old and the paint everywhere started to come out. I had so much cultural shock that it’s shocking considering I came from Asia. But I learnt a lot especially since noone spoke english, I had to utilise my limited chinese. Ah there are so many stories. Head to my personal blog if you’re interested. But I warn you, it’s really long.

Anyway,  have a great summer holiday. It’s rainy and cold in here.

And oh, did you know Wonder Girls are debuting in the US? They will be performing in several of Jonas Brothers concerts soon. Why won’t they come to Australia -.-

Goodbye high school!

Hey everyone so… i haven’t blogged for the longest time ever but I’ve been fighting against my awful school work load :D and i’m proud to say… I HAVE WON!! and that i just finished my English 12 provincial, yes we have to do provincials in BC which sucks but that is the only required one but i have a math provincial tomorrow (it’s not mandatory but i signed up for it anyway because i bombed it last year and i don’t want to have a bad mark on my transcript) which i technically should be studying for… *cough cough* but anyways, there is also another reason to be blogging today rather than just celebrating my victory. ahahah but anyways, i will be graduating from grade 12 and having my ceremony in ONE week exactly. excited yet i feel i’m not ready yet. i feel that ever since i hit grade 10… the years have gone by waayyy too fast for me and in a blink of an eye (cliché yes but it’s true) i’m already done grade 12 and graduating in a week!! And then after next week i’m off to summer camp… life is going way to fast, i think i need to stop and catch my breath first o_O”

Updates…

So upon coming back and blogging since forever, i have updated the mp3 rotations and added some new polls as well so go check those out if you have time!! :)

soiia’s edit**
With a new plugin installed, you can now preview the songs before deciding to dl it or buy it :) (don’t worry jie, I think it doesn’t cost bandwidth that much)!

omg she just added a tutorial!

So it does feel like forever…

Thanks to our visitor ang3l, who requested for a tutorial on how to use textures have I had the motivation to type something up last night. With some last minute details, I have finally posted the tute up so check it out if you’re curious :D
(By the way, since we’re dealing with me and like escapees know really well, I’m the queen of typos, so if you see any typos/spellings in the tutorial, leave me a message (in this post) and I’ll try to fix it asap. Nevertheless, I will try to go through it a second time and hunt for mistakes later today.)

I went through Illustrious Forum a few days ago and Soompi’s arts thread too. Boy do I feel retarded. I start photoshoping a while ago and now, I feel like a new ’style’ has been established in the world of fan art. It is somehow refreshing, but quite hard to get used to. Nowadays, many people like to use bold and strong colours a lot more than soft tones, and collages are DEFinitely crushing the blending tendency. So maybe that’s a sad thing because I can’t collage to save lives, but I guess it really is time to learn and ‘update’ myself a little bit too. And it really is a pity CAT can’t give me any feedback because she’s off to China. Lucky girl.

With that said, I really have nothing else to chat about, except for a random picture I took the other day in the train. I thought, for once, the train looked really clean and since I was bored out of my main (I left my mp3 player on the whole day, forgetting to turn it off and consequently, at around 8pm when I was on the train to go home, my dear mp3 player was officially dead. No music, no fun.) and with 20 minutes to kill, I took random pictures…

I was so bored. There was like no one to even stare at :P

The result of 4 hours of sleep

I can never stress enough how it’s important to check that your fire alarm is working properly. I had a scare this morning and do not wish to say much about it, but yes, I highly suggest all of you (or your parents) to make sure that the alarm works by bringing a candle close to it (thanks to my friend, pockiie, for the ‘technique’ I dumbly never knew). Better be paranoid and safe than too late and sorry :O !

On a happier note, I hope all you guys can help me choose a colour theme for ’something’ :) I have a hard time deciding, so please leave me a short little comment of the colour theme you like the most! The more people the merrier :D


Please help and leave a comment for the best combo!

Also, if you see any funny comments or weird English-like comments, do not click on the links attached to it. I highly believe they are spams and am trying to fix this since Wordpress Filter hasn’t been doing a very good job lately.

Finally, I’ve been slacking off and gained a bit of weight :D Any suggestions to cut those fat other than boring jogging? It’s hard (for me) to keep the same routine going on (1- I’m so freakin’ lazy 2- I love to sleep and 3- it’s boring to run alone) and I sooo do not have any good tips to keep myself motivated :O ! And I am pretty sure many of you understand this pain I’m feeling : it’s summer and summer means lotsa food… Talk about guiltiness.

the updates

I’m a bit displeased that I have nothing to comment about Escape’s content. Furthermore, I can’t even say I’ve been too busy to update (other Escapees can, Shell and Cat are having fun doing their finals (note the sarcasm), Trang’s probably working to gain extra cash (argh, I’m envious), Fairy’s off to China (I’m even more envious), Mimi’s been mia (-.- that girl must have gone shopping for shoes again) and Karen…she’s too motivated and dedicated that she doesn’t have time to spare).

However, I’ve noticed that 90% of our affiliations HAVE updated! Check out their site! Their resources are to drool over…
(Once again, I’m too lazy – this is really a disease)

And I’m going to end this post with the scary fact that I’m school-sick. Yep, that’s result when you don’t sleep enough; the brain goes berserk and strange thoughts occur.

Peace.

I made crêpes!

This is so random, but I went downtown today to get a long due item (I’ll cut the details) and walked past a crêpes shop that really made me drool. In a normal situation, I would have jumped into the shop and buy a crêpe, BUT I kinda forgot my wallet and only have 2-3$ on me. Therefore, I had to leave the shop with a big pout on the face.

SO…

I made crêpes myself! Berries aren’t expensive these days so I think I abused.

I should type a recipe for fun. Brb. link to recipe on your LEFT :) (in the what’s new box) !!
