shout-out to everybody

heys!
guys could you pls pls title your entries. i think it's a little neater that way. :)

and i have lengthened the tagbox a little so that it's easier for pple to follow the conversations.

*as rightly noted by leon, i did indeed [im so sorry] forget about hiresh's wing.
here it is:
hiresh's wing shall have books on gentle giants and how to make interesting funny faces and sounds. lol
shimmie's wing shall have books on falling for guitar-playing burmese guys. rofl just joking. :D

i have put up another collage pic on the right hand sidebar -as you can see!
the joys of having picasa do it for you. lol
that's why it's different from the other one.. cos i used adobe and had to cut and put tgthr each piece in the pic for the earlier one.
no more time like those days anymore. lol

there, marian, bowen, leon, shimmie are all in that collage smewhere or other.
and i also included the pic of our drinking night. lol.
that was a FUN night indeed. rofl.
i would have put more pics in but because it was done by picasa, it's pre-fixed and i can't add more than 9 pics - like so.
next time, when i can find the time to do up a proper one kkaes. :)

today [ or rather 27th of sept] i received another wonderful piece of mail from burma. :)
namely the letters which i attached in the email i sent to all of you earlier.. and Abraham included something special -- PICTURES!! :D

hahas.. and so i took pictures of the pictures which he sent, and put all of them into an album.
the link to this album is ALSO at the right sidebar, scroll down a little. it's there under ALIVE LIBRARY. alternatively, click here. yups. enjoy.
sorry about the lame captions, cos i am actually realli just guessing what's going on in the pics.

and on another sadder note, our dear kelly has boarded the plane for UK.
i got bored.. despite how late it is and the fact that i realli should get to bed.
tinkering around with this blog is so much fun. lol



hahas.. yeah okay.
'nuff said.

*kel says that she may not be able to get connection right away once she gets there, cos she doesn't have the necessary cable or smth. so she may not be able to come and visit the blog right away. but she will just as soon as she can.*

kel had a very nice bang of a send-off tonight!
her family was there, her bf was there.. she had school friends there, choir friends and marian, leon and myself. :D

we took many pictures --> they are all in LEON's camera. leon..upload them buddy, then let me noe so i can link them here.
he was a trigger happy, random candid photographer tonight.
took pics without even counting to three!! lol
so there are probably a few pics where i didn't get the chance to suck in my stomach. and it's all LEON's fault. rofl

the choir pple were all very nice.
and just before kel entered the gates.. they sang the irish song to her.
i forget what it is called exactly and i cldn't rmbr the words to sing it along with them.
will get the words and put it here. sorry i didn't manage to video it all, but it was really very sweet. :D

and kelly.. you shld have seen all the bags that kelly was carrying.
REALLY.. kelly who had backpack, small shoulder bag, laptop bag and jacket.
vs tim who was only carrying a more-or-less medium-sized backpack- which wasn't even bursting [like kel's]. rofl
and she didn't even wait for him to go in thru the gates with her. lol
and we were all like eh!! she's gone in already.. what are you still doing here?? rofl

and we shouted 'BYE TIM' just as he went in thru the gates. lol
i think the whole world at the airport must've known that somebody named tim was going in thru the gates at that point in time. lol.

one of her school friends whom i happen to noe as well, asked me in jest, "btw did the whole church come down just now or smth?" lol
haha.. i found that v funny. :]

[and dad let me drive marian and leon home from the airport!! :D]
-highlight of my day guys, thnx so much for being such nice passengers!
the ride was smooth cos of the car, not so much my driving. hehs.

okay guys, that's it for now.
pardon the extremely long post.
and now i must realli go to bed.
damn.. have to get up early tmr to get more work done.

takecare everybody! :D
love, cher.

yup its for idol. but hardy won, which sparked several reactions including those like zachie's msn display name. i share his sentiments.

i dont know if keira sings, but i was refering to her speaking voice. you can hear her interviews here. i recommend this this and this.

what've you been up to, good sonia? any pictures of the lovelies in your school?

and cher yes jon was from sji and in an interview bro paul was seen commenting that jon used to walk up to him and ask how hes doing or something like that. and why the hell do i know such things damn i have poor taste in tv shows i need to be purified.

i wanted to watch grey's but having missed season one i cant. will one day tackle all the seasons of grey's at once.

hiresh's wing will be filled with books on split personality disorders haha.

- damien

right so i invited myself to the blog so cher sorry if you get weird emails. it's just so that i can actually access it while logged into my own account >.<

k so damien i presume that the voting for jonathon thing is purely singapore idol. how goes it anyways. don't recognise the names >.<

but kiera knightley with the best voice??? i presume you refer to just her speaking voice and not singing voice, else i'll have to hunt you down, strap you to a chair and make you listen to opera.

yay! :D

heys dame. yay.. welcome welcome.

im so sorry guys.. didn't occur to me that maybe some of you didn't manage to get the e-card.
sorry.. kinda stumbled upon it the other night and thought it was a cool way to let you all know about the blog. didn't think it was necessary to re-send another email. oh wells.

hopefully.. you've ALL got the necessary info regarding our blog now.
thanks so much leon!! :D

oh and dame talking about the damien wing in the alive library in the tag box..
we were talkign about it on friday.. and we said that:
kel's wing would have tonnes of bks abt and pics of cats.
dame's wing would have pinter stuffs.
my wing would have stuff about kids.

[i can't rmbr anymore so im making these up. propose funnier ones if you like. or protest if u're the one im suaning. rofl. :P]
george's wing would have books on gals. i.e.: how to pick up a girl- in no time or always save the damsel in distress - that's e way to get the gals. lol :p
jer's wing and son's wing would have stuff on xbox and fast cars and hmm.. son's would have a section on debate and the like i.e.: how to keep a guy's EGO small. rofl. :D
leon's wing would have stuff about squirrels.. and parks? lol
marian's wing would have pics of absolutely flawless smiles and great teeth. lol

hahas.
kkaes tt's just me having some fun.
:D

i am multi-tasking in a whole new way.
two different laptops. rofl
cos im trying to transfer my pics into my new-er laptop so i can finally get down to doing a new picture collage with everybody's face in it. :]
hahas..

cos im too bored and xian to try and study tonight.
and im just passing time waiting for grey's anatomy! :]

okay people.
below are plans for kel's send-off. [updated version]

kel's send-off
kel's flight time: 11.20pm
terminal 1 [i think]
we are meeting at the airport arnd 9/9.30pm.
so far, drea, leon and i are going to be there. [jer to see how]
i can most probably provide transport back form the airport if anybody needs. :)
can't wait to see you all again.
and we must rmbr to give kely a great biiiiigggggg hug on behalf of the whole group kkaes.

yups. that's all for now then i guess.
take care everybody. i hope you are all doing fine. :]
-cher

whoa. my mum just spent $9.60 casting 16 votes for jonathan. well, i guess its an investment into a slice of singapore's future.

i mean, seriously.

on a side note, gayle sounded so good.

but keira knightley still has the best voice ever.

- damien

cher i think some didnt get the ecard you sent thats why its been so silent. i only just got it from leon.

and hello everyone! here perhaps we can keep together the way we did in our wednesday meetings long ago, and a time may come where we'll all be back in that same room talking about another project.

anyway.

mondays suck. and its worse when i've had an enjoyable weekend. i very nearly almost wanted to sleep in today.

hope every one is doing well?

- damien

honourable mention!! :D

i wish smebody would comment here soon :(

im so lonely here.. like just blogging for myself. sighs..

okay.. anyway.. for those pple who didn't get a chance to meet up with us last friday..
here's the story.

i came home frm school that day to find a letter on my desk.
guess what.. it was a letter from our burmese friends!!.. or well, rather their bishop sent us a letter. and it's so exciting. :D [my maid actually thought it was her letter.. haha.. cos air mail envelope.. and i also was thinking.. how come i've got an air mail envelope??] rofl

as requested.. i have scanned the letter in. :D
and so here it is. i hope it's not toooo small for you all to read.

1st pg


2ng pg

there is a very special part in the second page where WE are mentioned!! :D
hehs.. i hope you're all as thrilled about it as me. :]

and just in case you guys cna't read it.. i'll put the links to the bigger versions here too kkaes.
1st pg

2nd pg
click on the links [or open them in another pg]
when the pic appears double clik on it.. there'll b an expand icon, clik on that and vuoala! :D

cos im scared if i email it to you guys.. ur mailboxes may get flooded lah.
will send it to those with gmail.. cos i think those will be able to manage.. but the others.. you clear ur mailbox first then let me noe kkaes.

yupz.. so tt's all for now. :D
will update about the details for kel's send off again soon i think.
gotta msg her to ask which terminal it is at. :)

see you all soooooooon. :D
-cher

heys! :D

hey.. where are you guys??!!

oh well. anyway.. the friday get together was indeed a great deal of fun.
thanks to all those who managed to turn up.
and those who didn't, dont worry.. we'll try and meet up again soon kkaes. :)

highlights of the night.

hmm.. we had dinner at spizza again. :D
and we had to sit outside the carpet shop.. cos they apparently had no more space. oh well.

then we went on to have drinks at baden's.. while drea went home to change.
and we basically talked nonsense over just one round of drinks cos we missed happy hour and the rates realli weren't great. but still managed to have lots of fun.
ehs guys.. i forgot what that german word that you all wanted me to check out was.
anybody remembers?

and then we left for zouk at arnd 11.30pm.
k guys.. personally i have to admit.. i realli realli much prefer mos to zouk.
i've onli been to zouk twice [both times w you guys.. and both times were fridays.. and extremely crowded.]

oh well. i guess it was kinda fun too.
even though the music was kinda sucky at the beginning.

hope you had a great time kel! :D
hope everybody had a good time. hehs

kel's airport send-off
kel's flight is at 11.20pm on wednesday night. the 27th, THIS wednesday.
she says she'll be at the airport from 9pm.
i think she'll most probably have to board around 10.30? or 10? [confirm pls kel]
so maybe we try to be at the airport around 9/9.30pm?

so who's free to go to the airport for the send-off?
so far i think leon and i are good to go. jer says he'll hafta see how. anybody else? leon, if your mum/aunt cld give me a lift there.. i can send you back later. :D [and u too if you need, jer.]
