ASG, St. Louis

曲：Man In The Mirror - Michael Jackson

the All-Star Game today was exciting, as usual. Loved watching everyone being introduced, Obama throwing out the presidential pitch, the All-Stars among us presentation was moving, and Ichiro was amazing as usual. felix hernandez had a great inning as well, and so i guess it ends well for the M's at the ASG. now back to the second half of the season!

Saw a really miniscule clip of Ichiro getting Obama to sign a baseball and the suppressed excitement on his face. it was priceless! ヤベェ、オバマだ！was probably what he thought at that time, haha!

the beautiful Busch stadium where the ASG was played; amazingly grand at sundown. you can see the Gateway Arch in the left of the picture. <3 want to go!

and it's always great to see Ichiro having fun at the ASG, derek jeter's nice =)

at batting practice I think. hmm. great shot, by the way. if only the photo was big enough id use it for my desktop wallpaper!
photos from daylife.com

well, the American League won it 4-3, and increased their winning streak to 13 games now.

OH found a clip of Ichiro's expression at the 00:24 mark, super funny! watch it before MLB takes it down. haha.

a picture-filled entry.

曲：校園美女2008 - 盧廣仲

alrights today's going to be a picture entry - stuff that ive taken with the hp cam but keep forgetting to talk about or bring up. but first, lets get the wordy stuff out of the way.

1. got course registration down pat now - i probably make like two clicks and im done. its like, oh shat its 9.30am alr, *click *click done. then it becomes time to listen to fellow LMS-ers complaining that the other LMS-ers have too-fast fingers. but i do ave a nagging feeling that i would have to fight for french again though - probably get PA.. with luck, french 3 too bah. but no YANNICK. think its gg to be hard to readjust back to studying french again with a different instructor.

2. STELLAR '09 - Jane did a splendid job with the branding of this camp, the logos, the website - absolutely gorgeous. hope the camp turns out fine, though, we didnt have much time to prepare for it. but with the NYS people, you know its not gg to be a problem. ; ) and the take-up rate for the camp is slowly going up - hope it gets better in the last few days.

3. i feel proud of myself - i tried a jamie oliver recipe! albeit an easy one. sorry, just to digress, dont you just love words that look like they have less syllables than in actual fact? like [ALBEIT] and [HIATUS], just love how they sound when they are pronounced. >_< okay, back to JO - tried his sweetcorn recipe - delish, but like v ginger-y asian taste. haha. and i added prawns on my own accord - who just eats corn like tt? no self-respecting asian will do tt bah, i guess.

4. and also chocolate fudge from simin's recipe! wahh really was super duper easy to make, and made for great satisfaction and something sweet to tide through the day. but vance and mummy both asked if i wanted fudge, why didnt i just go out and buy fudge must make. -_-" didnt stop vance from eating them all up though.

5. saw the baby shirt in west mall. v cute, got teochew version summore. hmm. i wonder which company prints these tees, i really want to know what other designs they have. has anyone ever seen it outside of WM before? im sure they have made their rounds in the pasar malams bah. let me know.

6. and finally went to oomphatico's to see ricky and ah marc - both still exactly the same, it felt so comfortable sitting there and listening to ricky talk, or see ah marc working. it made me feel i was back in empire again =) love the food at oomph's as well, the decor - to die for. i want that table we sat at plus the 700-dollar chairs!

7. and no, i refuse to face up to that embarrassing loss for the M's today against the Orioles. but the MLB All-Star Game will happen next Wed on ESPN, and Ichiro is starting again - in RF, whoopee. =) cnt wait. always loved the All-Star Game and watching the players all interact. Now, if only Russell Branyan was competing in the HR Derby. Oh well. will end with this beautiful shot of Ichiro and Junior at the Mariners education day from daylife pics - love how jr. was laughing his ass off behind Ichiro's back. hha. made my day =) and check out Ichiro's orange belt (!!)

MARINERS winnnnn!

Mariners vs. Yankees @Yankee Stadium

am watching the mariners play against the yankees now, and we're at the top of the 2nd with CC Sabathia giving away hits like nobody's business.. but it seems like branyan is a little stuck. he got his fifth strikeout in a row since yesterday alr, dont go into a slump, branyan! =(

2 on base, no outs.

Twitterfeed:

and now it goes 3-0 seattle #mariners

RT @CanuckMakem Cedeno = fail #mariners

我不想看了 #mariners im always such a wimp when it comes to this

oh my god ichiro an ERROR?! #mariners

yep, guti's on fireeee

to jeter: "you've got to be yao ming to get that" hahaaha! #yankees

6-2 mariners now with that ichiro double =) #mariners

matsui scores a homerun - its this kind of situation i dont know who to support sia #yankees

yet another intentional walk to ichiro.. #mariners

my heart's stuck in my throat watching this game.. still 6-4 to the #mariners

please johjima cnt be injured.. =(

and now another double by matsui.. he's NOT helping

#mariners mark lowe has a burnin' fastball!

BRANYAN!!! you show 'em! 8-4 seattle #mariners

aardsma's coming up again; we love ya!

last out last out last out come on

my heart beat so fast in that bottom 9th i cnt stand this kind of pressure - BUT the MARINERS winnnn ♥

----

im so so glad that i was FINALLY able to watch a mariners game live on espn - and the Ms win it with conviction. okay, maybe not a no-run game from the yankees, but we had a couple of homers and ichiro played sexy. now if only he hadn't made tt error.

boston redsox at fenway park next. heavy roadtrip, man.

Mariners vs. Yankees preview.

曲：想太多 - 李玖晢

im sure im not the only person who thinks that csi:ny is actually very well-written - why hasnt it won the awards csi and csi:miami have? gary sinise is probably the most engaging and likeable chief among the three heads.

and im sure im not the only person who thinks that [red thread] has a horrendous script - this is what happens when you try to make a singaporean drama and force them to speak very standard english; no one sounds authentic anymore. as with [the ultimatum], while the story might be good, i cnt bring myself to continue watching it.

and i do think the AYG does look quite exciting sometimes - the winner from pole vault boys - HIBASA SHO (JPN) - very cute. haha. i wonder if i can find a picture of him - but it seems like hes not on japanese news or anything yet. and like the commentator said, he was the crowd favourite as well. i enjoyed watching him jump, actually. and im also waiting for swimming, bowling and basketball 3-on-3 to start =D

this makes me anxious for YOG to start too - how exciting! and with SEA games to come at the end of this year - woohoo, im a happy camper.

Mariners vs Yankees series up soon - ESPN IS EFFING SHOWING one game on FRIDAY 7AM.. oh IM SO GOING TO WATCH - i think its the last game in the series. oh my god, im taking back all the curses ive hurled at espn for not showing the mariners' games. yippee! 3rd july - if you're my friend, you're so watching it - either 7am or 3pm on the repeat! haha.

*watch it watch it watch it

dy's finally out from camp whoooopee! i can finally watch transformers heh.

ShoppingLifestyle Magazine Readers' Contest: Win A Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag

One-run wins for the Ms.

25 June 2009 | SEA 4, SD 3
the Mariners have been winning by ONE run for what, 19 games now. I dont know if that's exciting or what. I need to get to Seattle. ♥

things ive wanted to talk about but no time lahhh.

曲：Why U So Like Dat - Kopi Kat Klan

I have been going to blogger.com and loading this text page to type a blog entry, but ive never managed to finish an entry at all. damn. been busy like anything, between Bee's stuff, LMS Club and NYSFOC, Ive got lots of things on hand. ahh! back to school three days in a row, goodness what am i doing with my hols! but i do like that we have a new building now, and its up and running. the toilets are pretty, though the profs' rooms were a bit small, and rather squeezy, heh. but KK's room is nearby now, and we can say hellos! KK fan club, anyone? hahaa.

And i know i was going to talk about something - but i cnt remember what! Oh yes, BB CREAM. i finally bough one to test all the hype about it. you know, seriously i do feel i can get the same coverage on a bottle of Laneige dual foundation, and i am a little skeptical about the healing properties of the bb cream; i got the Dr.G one from SASA when it was on sale.

things i loved about the cream were that yah, it did make my face look flawless, but it didnt really keep oil in check for long hours, my face became oily in about 2, 3 hours. maybe its because im an OILY person by nature =( (though every beauty consultant i meet says i have combination/not v oily skin); or maybe its because i was walking around in the horrible singapore heat for about 1/4 of that time.

dy's stuck in camp due to H1N1, sigh. hope its gg to be fine, got 11 cases liao. =(

kok aun just bought a 1,200 dollar tissot watch; i am speechless. it was kind of coincidental that i happened to be in city hall when he called to ask me to go see the watch. whats up with guys and watches? (in the case of Sherman, its shoes and bags) we're gg to Oomphatico's on 2 july, qii, you wanna join? i called aun along cause he wants to meet ah marc too. =)

and i need to sleep early, cause must go school early tmr. so geeky.

overnighter.

曲：GREEN DAYS - 槇原敬之

okay, obviously someone beat me to /velda, so i got facebook.com/veldakhoo, which is totally fine for me; initially i thought even that got taken away.. but i dont think there are many velda khoos in this world. and i know for a fact im the only velda in the yog volunteer list - haha all 10,000 plus of people in it.

overnight at siyi's house ytd, xinying and i always eat too much when we're over there. but its a comfortable house, so thats probably why. had lunch at cafebiz at trader's - have been wondering whats the hype with their buffet, but it was extensive, and we enjoyed ourselves, hehe. there was this cute little japanese boy walking around with his plate with only two pieces of honeydew; everytime i see him its two pieces of honeydew.

and i met ah marc! so happy, we were walking into tanglin mall past oomphatico's, and i was just commenting on how ive been wanting to dine in there, when ah marc walked out of the restaurant's doors. he and ricky are working there now, and he made me promise to eat there one day. well, seeing that ive been planning a trip there already anyways, i readily agreed. such a coincidence.. must make wish. haha.

we got guitar herooo from qisahn! so happy, xy and i fixed it up in siyi's house, and jammed till 6pm. i need to get better at the guitar, super fun and addictive i think. haha. jon was a hero here, he totally directed us where to go so we'd get it at a cheaper rate as compared to the bloodsuckers in tanglin mall.

and i need to do work now. sighh.

GSS loves me.

曲：少年が故の情熱 - GReeeeN

im busy. like really. too much stuff to process, and what am i doing going to school two, three days a week. no life lahh! and im broke, because i have been spending like nobody's business. naughty naughty. and i just booked myself for a real mani/pedi treat at pink parlour. need some care on my hands and feet! always wanted to try a real long treatment rather than the rushed express stuff all the time because i tend to decide to do those on the spur of the moment. so i thought maybe this time round ill try to enjoy one for a change. not that my nails are long enough to speak of. anyway, the deal is by honeycombers, for the first 100 people who book and mention honeycombers.

think pink! | for anyone who wants to pamper themselves a little =)

siyi's planning a trip to HK, and im tasked with planning it, great. one more thing to do during the holiday. haha. but i do want to go and do some shopping. and i want to go macau for veryyy long le. they just opened a katespade boutique in macau, how's tt! haha.

and just for the record, for twitter people, #squarespace is giving out 30 iPhones in as many days; they've given out 2 of them alr; by just tweeting #squarespace everyday you get a chance to win one. no harm trying right. haha. whoopee!

also, check this out. wonder if i can get facebook.com/velda?

this post like my versh of GSS in good deals. hehe.

jason isaacs.

曲：Here We Are - 朱孝天

i came across the name of Jason Isaacs twice today, when in the past ive never really known who he was. jason isaacs plays lucius malfoy in the harry potter series, and while he looks absolutely devious and deliciously cold and wicked in the movies with that blond wig, he looks reallly good without it. and he does have the bluest eyes ive ever seen. AND he's british. how'd you beat that!

and seriously, he doesnt look at all like lucius malfoy without the wig. i think im a little weird, no? when everyone is in love with tom felton and how good he looks as draco, i do think jason isaacs and alan rickman are the sexy people in HP. evil lucius and snape, heheh.

of course oliver wood sean biggerstaff is the best with his scottish accent. haha! all this in anticipation of HBP coming soon soon soon!
