Am currently addicted to the Enchanted soundtrack.
Its so difficult not to be you know. Even though the lyrics are so disturbing.
I don't think kids should watch movies like these. It confuses them even further.
"See Mom, fairytales do exist!"
Perhaps I'm as cynical about it as McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey), but it was such a nostalgic show to watch. When you're a kid, you live in a magical realist world. At least I did. Then education and growing up happened.
Ever Ever After (Carrie Underwood)
Storybook endings
Fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside
We wanna believe they still do
In our secretest heart
Its our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all wanna make it to
Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
It was such a fun movie though. :P
True Love's Kiss has been running through my head non-stop because its just so annoyingly catchy.
Even though the lyrics are equally disturbing.
True Love's Kiss (Amy Adams)
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince I'm hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering; so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love; through true love's kiss
It was such a fantastic spoof of every fairy tale I was enamoured with from babyhood.
And the lyrics to Thats How You Know will probably be the bane of every boyfriend/husband and the fantasy of every girl.
Thats How You Know (Amy Adams)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...
...
Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you?
...
Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow
Another psychotically happy tune. Whee.
But evidently I'm not cynical enough to be immune to So Close, which is the mushiest excuse for a love song ever and turns me completely to putty. Its one of those I'll-marry-the-man-who-sings-this-to-me songs. Or actually, be prepared to hear this song at weddings. :s
So Close (Jon Mclaughlin)
You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
Now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far - We are; so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
On that note, if you've not caught the movie... WHATS WRONG WITH YOU? Go watch it. Now.

Blahblahblah.Sleepover at Mifa's yesterday was really fun.
Prom shopping today was bad.
Mom won't let me get a $150 dress.
Really ugly clothes confronted me everywhere.
There's a top I must have from Urban Outfitters. The Isetan I went to didn't have my size but I really hope I find it. It reads "GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK. Save the trees."
And there's this dress from Esprit. But I won't pay $160 for it. (And neither would Mom duh.)
Rawr.............
Tired and cranky now. Lol.
More coherence once Lizzy has had enough time to savour her new, and unfamiliar freedom, to stop, rewind, reflect, replay, read plently of good books and actually post something intelligent.

Well the A's ended yesterday.We went to watch Enchanted as a form of academic purging. Perfect movie. :]
Our CPE seemed happier than the lot of us who were ending the A's.
"Okay you may leave, your A levels are over. *BEAM BEAM BEAM*"
Us: *dazed and confused, strolling out of seats*
Well, I'm just leaving the entire thing in God's hands. I can't do anything about it anymore. So its 200% Jesus now.
So, I have my 'life' back now. What shall I do with it.

In case there's any self-respecting Singaporean out there who hasn't seen it, here's the irony that is MDA's top management rap.Ps. It is not a parody. Nor a satire. Though for a lot of us, it was a 'eureka' moment that explained a lot about the current state of local media as well as the need for responses in the form of Royston Tan's 'Cut'.
Very enlightening indeed.

STARDUSTTTT.Okay had a really #$%knsk?? day packing my room/books/house/etc/etc/etc and breaking in lungfuls of dust. Jason was a darling and helped me even though anyone who sets eyes upon my mess will be fully aware of how big a M.E.S.S it really, truly, honestly is.
18 years accumulating rubbish and having to even throw things from my primary school days away was so not very, very fun.
But he tolerated it anyhow though I must reiterate that it was really an unfathomable amount of thrash.
Went for dinner in the evening with Mom (so we could stop breating dust) at Billy Bombers and had yay yay yay Vanilla Milkshake which was lovelovelove until dessert when Ben&Jerry's cookie dough ice-cream came and Vanilla Milkshade, to my horror, wasn't sweet anymore.
But yeah first time I got pwned by sweet stuff. I'm normally very, very good with my desserts. *nods head enthusiastically*
But one can only take that much sugar at 9.45PM and I had to sit for 128mins of awesome awesome Stardust.
(Excuse the bimbo flippancy my house is covered is dust, we're renovating and packing like we're moving and its not fun fun fun at all sitting in all this dust and mess and having to resolve issues like throwing things away when mom keeps rumaging through your rubbish and taking out things that should be thrown away while nagging at you for keeping so many things when you have so little space OXYMORON I've lost all sense of punctuation like Mr. Bala.)
STARDUST.
Claire Danes is pretty pretty pretty. Michelle Pfeiffer is a good Lamia. Well I mean, Lamia isn't good but you know what I mean.
The changes they made to the original novel served the movie well, unlike some others (AKA THE PSEUDO DARK IS RISING COUGH COUGH). Robert de Niro is hiiiilarrrrious, and the ghosty brothers were such awesome comic relief.
It was good, good goood. I enjoyed it much. (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (:
You must catch it, whoever you are.
Sanity abandons.
ONE MORE LIT PAPER LEFT. Bwahahaha.
And they can't even leave me in peace and have to renovate the house now.
And they're gonna be renovating right into December grah grah grah.

Whee.WHEEE.WHEE.WHEEE!HISTORY IS OVER!!!
THE paper is over!!!
I don't know why all of us were so riled up over History.
Maybe because Bala is an awesome teacher and it was the most unpredictable of the papers.
It was like war in the Hall.
One more to go! 26th.

Both the secular and Christian music scene is blessed to have Carrie Underwood.So Small
Carrie Underwood
Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else seem
So small
Yeah, yeah

Lol. Did this picture quiz on Facebook. (Yes, don't blast me, I'm tired. And econs. Is econs.)Temperament
Flexible
Nothing seems to bother you - you sail through life crisis free. It's not that your life doesn't have its ups and downs, it's just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this.
Interests
Simple
You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life - you don't allow yourself to fall victim to all of the "should do's" that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.
Amusement
Thoughtful
You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.
Passion
Traditional
Your notions about romance are viewed as unrealistic by many, but don't let that stop you. When you think of romance, you think of huge gestures of commitment, sacrifice and love like we see in the movies. Flowers, chocolate, and wine are just some of the ways to your heart. You want to feel loved and treasured by your partner and you expect to be courted, admired and hotly pursued. You long for old fashioned dating.
I'll like to think its all fairly accurate.
Though being 'crisis free' and 'easily stressed' seems somewhat oxymoronic.
Rather true, nevertheless.
Tired.
Goodnight.

God is good.Normally go for 2nd service.
Jason and I try to get tickets, go for breakfast, and get seats for the rest of the caregroup (who go for 2nd).
Was kinda late today. And tickets disappear with greater alacrity when Pastor Prince preaches.
Jason was earlier and messaged to say that the ticket he got was for the '6th' bloc. (aka the very last bloc of available tickets). Silently I asked God to 'reserve a ticket for me' because I didn't want to join the main queue.
I arrived around 10 to 15mins later, saw the table still open (it closes once they finish giving out tickets), and went up the escalator. Honestly, I didn't think I would be able to get a ticket. Yeah I asked God for it, but how much I believed it was really negligible. I saw a number of people going to to the table. And I hesitated, I stood at the escalator, hesitated, once or twice. And finally walked to the table.
Lo and behold, the server was holding one last ticket (Golden Ticket!) which God reserved just for me. (: As the lady stamped my hand and the guy passed me the ticket, he just said, 'Wah last ticket, you're very blessed ah!'
All I could do was give a goofy grin. God is so good.
'See I told you the ticket was yours.' said Daddy with a measure of gleeful pleasure.
God has such a lovely, loving, affectionate sense of humour. (:
Lit, Econs, Econs, History.
THEN STARDUST.
Well. Its The Week. The bulk of my papers.
Jesus, Your grace is more than sufficient for me.
I may not study as much, as hard, as long, or as thoroughly.
But You are my glory and the lifter of my head.
