a warm welcome..

Making change for myself,a new blog! yay~ zuckerlos.blogspot.com is very outdated in terms of the HTML code & now am on..I don't know what.. But anyway,its something new that I'm trying out with! zuckerlos still can be referred for stuff using the search tab.. But if you're hunting for old pictures & info,look harder or just email to ask for anything to fann_al84@yahoo.com.sg Thanks for staying in! :)

What's the problem?!

I'm no tech freak,so I'm reading & applying what I can to this site.. Adapting & putting in new stuff possible to post here.. :)

spoiler Tuesday..

Work sucked,it sucked so badly to rush 4 things in a day.
So pressurizng but I managed to finish it anyway.Thank goodness I could!
It's so stressful & very tiring in the line of my work,rotating different stages of work simultaneously whilst another stage is in the midst of another process.

I personally think its great to have pressure when I work,but the pressure today was just so much that I almost messed up!
Perhaps I need to get a better grip contain things better too.
It'll be ridiculous if I break down just like that.

OH!
Something else happened to make me feel even worse.
I gained a bigger warning not to help people just because I'm soft.
You see,I'm the YES girl..
I usually say YES cause' its convenient,& usually I like people to be as happy as I am.

They ask for a favours & I help.Even if I don't like the person,I still..help.
Then I recently slammed myself into the wall..

I make the effort to get something done & reach my hand out,& the asking party doesn't seem to make an effort to receive.
Sometimes I wonder where's a person's sense of urgency.

I learnt that..
There is nothing to gain,I get more into the red with stress when something not right happens,it wastes my time,thoughts & energy put in to think about.
I get irritated to realise that some people have no sense of responsibilities & still live in their slack lazy world.
Its ABSOLUTE RUBBISH.
DONT WASTE MY TIME.
Total disappointment.

It killed day 2 of my post-ZoukOut mood alright! >.<
To think I was still damn happy in the morning listening to those thumping tracks on the iPod..

But you know what,I received something SO SMALL,so delicious,from some auntie who gave to me right after my disappointing conversation with that someone.Somehow,it really made my day.
And I shared it with a girlfriend to make myself feel better.
Somebody quite foreign to me giving me a treat for I don't know what reason.
Felt so forgiving..
HAHA.

Above & Beyond @ ZoukOut 2008

WoOhOo!
I had a great time at ZoukOut la..
My first time & most probably my last time.
Because I was there solely for Above & Beyond,& I don't think the super trio would be so free to come to ZoukOut only every year?!?!
I can't wait to see them again within the next 6mths in Singapore!! YAYAYAYYAYAYAYA..

SPEAKING OF WHICH,another SUPER DJ is coming to town early JANUARY!! YAYAYAYYAYA..
its ARMIN VAN BUUREN.. :D :D :D
Wah he's also one of the best trance artistes man..Very good tracks he's been producing for 10yrs.
Well I only know of him 6years ago..

SO..Anyway..On that same Saturday,the boy & I had brunch over at Coastes..
My first time there too..The food's great~! The music's good,& its what I call.."ang moh land"..
Trust me,the prices of food may be steeper,but its good. ;)
As for "ang moh land.."..haha..If you're local,you'd understand.
Zero locals there except for the waiting staff!


The sun,sand,food & drinks were all good.
Would definitely be back again.. :)

I went home with dear to take 2 naps..1 before dinner & 1 after.(KIASU right? ;))
& met up with Wenjun for..MOVIEEEEEE.
Yeah we caught the 11+pm show..
And honestly? I didn't know that Keanu Reeves was rather good looking.
The show was alittle disappointing at the end though,it was so fast & it left me in a question mark.
It started out well & delivered throughout from the beginning to the middle,but towards the end its like HUH?
AHZZZZZZZZ..

Anyway after the show I immediately went to meet somebody whom I helped to borrow something for her & her friends because of Zoukout.
Sometimes I just wonder are they grateful for the effort I put in & the thought of me of the effort I put in or not.
HEck.I'm not keen on helping many people anymore,wastes time & brings in more frustration instead of happiness.

The 3 of us then shared a cab into Sentosa & it was FREAKING EXPENSIVE.
The car was already in Sentosa,so we just bought some drinks to mix with the vodka that Wenjun brought..
yaY~
I am quite proud to say that I paid for most of the things this time between dear & I for this day out,because it was my idea to go ZoukOut..Wenjun's too :)
But of course he paid for himself la.
I covered for 2 tickets,the cab fare,all the drinks & juices but not the vodka.
Brought snacks along to stash in the car too! yay~
We popped in at about 2+?
Yeah that was when Dirty South or Sasha was playing..To my horror,I only got to find out that Above & Beyond was to spin at 5AM!!
It was totally crowded,everyone was having fun..
Some men were teasing ladies,some men were teasing..men.
:S
Some were out of control,like there was no government.I dont really want to think about it,especially those who were doing some illegal things in the dark.
Wenjun & I bought ourselves RipCurl X ZoukOut tees..Yay~

We bobbed around with Sasha's mixes..
But it wasn't very exciting. We missed out on Dirty South,I regret it. Because I like the songs he produced over the past 2yrs! But ANYWAY..My trance heroes were out by 5am,sharp! & I missed out on the first half-hour though..awww..
I felt that the set was pretty good,but the best was back then in 2006 for their Tri-State album tour.. :D
The music was a happy high throughout at ZoukOut,singing,dancing & jumping like mad..
With lots of old & new trance + progression & vocal tracks..
I felt like I was singing with Tony of A&B!! HAHA..
Best part with alot of Oceanlab songs from the new album!!
& the Signal Runner's "These Shoulders"..waaaaa..nice..:D:D:D
Surprisingly,they played William Orbit's "Adagio for Strings"..wah..that's like since secondary school..awesome la..
Some songs I can recall are..
OceanLab - Breaking Ties
Above & Beyond pres. Tranquility Base - Buzz
Signalrunners & Julie Thompson - These Shoulders
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
Tranquility Base - Oceanic
Luminary - Amsterdam
Super8 - Delusion
OceanLab - Miracle (Above & Beyond Club Mix)
Above & Beyond - Good For Me (feat Zoe Johnston)
Above & Beyond - Alone Tonight
The encore was Alone Tonight & some people were boo-ing really loudly for I don't know what reason,did they not know the song?
-.-"
I only know I was singing whatever I knew.. :)
Tony of A&B became very emotional towards the end,& I was actually hoping for another encore...
FAT HOPE MAN.Aldrin was super ready to take over the set & so many people realisticly left immediately when Aldrin started playing The Killers. :((
My bf & friend too..ALAMAK,tired & hungry to even stay for another 3 more songs...
Really wanted to stay,but they were so tired & hungry.Darn.
I ran into kor's friend too..It was a pity we didn't club together.
Oh well.I guess I do better in smaller groups than huge groups of friends. :)
So..yeah..BREAKFAST!! Near my house :9

& I went home to admire my t-shirt before washing up to sleep.Ha.
Guess it'll be my first & last visit to ZoukOut..
Don't ask why not..
If A&B were to be there again,I'd say.."why not?" ;)

it's about Friday..12th Dec 2008..

Well its the 15th today,a Monday actually..
The weeks' passed through SO QUICKLY.
I rarely blog these days. I don't know why people still visit.
It's crazy.

From crazily sick to crazily happy at ZoukOut last weekend..
I still have backlogs on my birthday,hari raya weekend and so on..etc.

Don't know what I should post about,perhaps about the nail varnish I received last Friday? haha..
At S$10 a bottle,thats a great deal man!
Thanks Mel :D
Red hot & black are gifts to my mum..Psychedelic colours for me,other 2 for my colleague..yay~

oh yah..On the same day..
Got to know 2 Dutch students who are on a few months visit here to Singapore at my work place.
Don't know why I had to itch about Dutch djs since they're from the Netherlands.

& we talked about trance artistes like Armin Van Buuren..
Then they asked me if I was going for ZoukOut! haha..
So odd that a foreigner asked if I were going,instead of me as a local,introducing it to them.. :)
I guess someone else had asked them earlier..
But it was alittle wasted,didn't run into them at the party itself..
I was totally there for nothing else but Above & Beyond..It was crazy! Great 2 hour set,I enjoyed it very much!

Oh well its late now!Darn.
Time to log out & face a new day at work tomorrow :D
Hope it runs as well as today..

Wednesday..10th Dec 2008..

Unwell.
Day 3 of food poisoning.
Technically,I was down on Monday afternoon without realising.
Two days of MC,so..I'm stuck at home & have no choice but to blog since I'm all done up with celebrations between dear and I,online shipping for VS and OPI,plus sorting out my financial status to be sure that I have enough on reserve for Christmas shopping.

Thing is,I don't think I have the time for Christmas shopping! DIEEEEEEEE.
Sort of settled something for the family as a whole,something for Mum,myself,and have yet to settle the extras for dad & kor.
As for Lionel..I've thought of something,but don't know if its a waste of money? It's something so small but yet,should I even get that done? Hmz..

Time is running out & I'm too weak to leave the house today.DARN.
