Awesome Day!

Okay, no pictures of me (didn't bring my cam out) but well, I had an awesome day! Went for casting and got it!(a little sad to part with my long hair though..=( ) Hehe..will put up pictures of my new hairstyle when it's done! =D In the meantime, in light of Roland Garros (French Open), check this video out! Utterly hilarious!

Sheesh

*sighs*..okay, I really should start updating this blog a little more often. Officially, mugging has started for me. Yes, I know, exam's are still a little way off and I have time..well, better start early I guess. My study table's beginning to disappear again, as usual, from the accumulation of books and notes. Honestly should start clearing it. (no, I'm not going to put a picture of how it looks cause it'll probably scare the wits out of anyone..hurhur)



Been contemplating if I should run a full marathon at the end of the year. Or half? Always wanted to do a full marathon, but somehow always ended up doing the 10k..hmm..*ponders*

My body clock is utterly messed up. I sleep early in the morning, and wake not even feeling tired a couple of hours later. Any suggestions on how to set it right again? Going for a couple of castings over the week. Hope I get them! =)

Oh well, time to hit the books again..update soon =)

Best Night So Far...

Definitely one of the BEST NIGHTS I've had in a long while!! Attended the performance by Andrea Bocelli (along with Australian pop singer Delta Goodrem, Solvenian soprano Sabina Cbilak and acclaime flutist Andrea Griminello) at the Singapore Botanic Gardens as part of YTL's anniversary celebrations!! I never would have thought I'd have the opportunity to hear him perform, so this...definitely is a dream come true!

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera! So I had to rely on the one in my phone! Uploaded the ones that turned out better =)
[Post a little pic heavy]

Invites!! (came with an Iora Gift Voucher!)


Billboard at the shuttlebus drop-off point!
(yes, the awesome people at YTL had chartered buses from various train stations to the venue!)

Just thought this was nice!
Took it while walking to my seat!


View from my seat!


Another thoughtful preparation by the organisers!


FOOD! No, the bread wasn't empty! Filled with focaccia chicken with herbs, tomatoes, cheese,onions!

(i really wanna know where they got it from!!)
Brownie was absolute yummy!!


Program book!


Under each seat was a goodie bag!
Thoughtfully packed in a resealable bag to protect it from the rain..
And placed into the reusable bag =)
(The organisers are REALLY thoughtful!)

Items in it include:
Cookies,
Mentos
Mosquito Repellent Patch
Wet Tissue
Bottle of Water
Fan
The 3 Tenor Dvd
Program Book


Oh yes, did I mention the SPECTACULAR fireworks display after the encores?!

(yes, more than one or two encore!)

Honestly, BEST PERFORMANCE I've been to since 2010 started..Not only because it was Andrea Bocelli (trust me, just like how Celine Dion once said "If God had a singing voice, He would sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli" now I see the truth in that phrase..it's totally different hearing him 'live') , but the organisation and crew was just awesome, right down to the goodie bag and food! There wasn't even a problem getting onto the shuttle buses, no long queues and worries about getting lost at the venue! YTL did a really great job!!

Okay, I'm really tired..off i go, will blog about the concert program soon =)

With Love,

Vanilla Twilight By Owl City

Just wanted to share some songs that I love! Lyrics speak to me alot in most songs, so it's hardly any wonder I fell in love with Vanilla Twilight by Owl City! It's taken off his second album, Ocean Eyes.

Absolutely LOVE the VIDEO! (Sorry the one I embedded is a tad soft =( ) But I've also put up a player right at the bottom of the video too! Hope you guys like it as much as I do =)

With Love,

Vanilla Twilight - Owl City

The stars lean down to kiss you

And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'll send a postcard to you, dear

Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad

Till I look at my hands and feel sad

Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days

Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist deep in thought because when

I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh if my voice could reach

back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear:

"Oh darling I wish you were here"

The Responsibility Project

I'm sure some of you might have seen these short films/videos on youtube or some other online portal. And today, I decided to watch some of them online again and am going to run a series of them on my blog, so you guys (if there's anyone reading this blog..) can view them too!

Really sorry about the quality of the second video..I found a better one,but it didn't allow me to embed

These short films/videos are part of the Responsibility Project. For those who prefer watching animated ones, don't fret, they do have short animated films too! One thing i really love about them is that they leave the endings open, which really gets you thinking about what YOU would have done.

Here's a little short background on the Responsibility Project..

How It Began

In 2006, Liberty Mutual created a TV commercial about people doing things for strangers. The response was overwhelming. We received thousands of positive emails and letters from people all over the country commenting on the ads.

We thought, if one TV spot can get people thinking and talking about responsibility, imagine what could happen if we went a step further? So we created a series of short films, and this website, as an exploration of what it means to do the right thing.

Look out for more videos!

With Love,

Raxsiel
