Tears and Joy

First Special No.

laine — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 02:51:16 +0000

I did my first ever special number at the 2nd soft launch of Calvary Contemporary Service last Sunday and I must say it was quite an eye opening experience. I played and sang along with Aileen and Patrina, who was playing as well. I was scared out of my wits during the whole special number (if my singing didn't give it away, my strumming pattern did). Nonetheless, we made it through, alive fortunately. (: Thanks for all the support, really appreciate it. I also wanna thank Kevin! Who was being ever so patient with us when we were figuring out the arrangement of the song and for being so supportive!

Aileen, myself and Patrina.Whenever this guy is around, well let's just say he never fails to bring out this side of me.Nerds of the century! (oh the irony)

Love,
Laine.

Last Weekend

laine — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:14:15 +0000

I love this! Aaron's phone's templates are so kewl!! If you do not know, in the middle is our very own CF president, Au Yong. Clockwise from top is Jaclyn, Aaron, Timot and me. Awesome! More photo taking with your phone the next CF meeting Aaron? (:

My weekend with my cousins. I miss you guys already.

Before watching Alice In Wonderland.

Hi-tea! Ever wonder why there's always a long queue when you drive pass Klebang? Well, wonder no more! This is why!

They serve pretty good coconut shakes! I think it's about RM2.50 for one. For the special, which is in the picture above (means extra ice-cream on top=more fat btw) is RM3. I think so. Their nasi lemak is good too, spicy belacan is the way to go!

Jonker Street!

Satay celup for supper.

Last but not least, meet Farida the new CF guitar!

Isn't she a beauty? Though I think she's a tad bit too fair, don't you think?

Love,
Laine.

Reality

laine — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:52:01 +0000

I have nothing more to give. I am, VOID.

I try to rid of this feeling but somehow when I am alone, in my room with myself, reality slowly nibbles in again. Try to run from reality all you want, it always catches up with you.

Times like these where your faith is stretched to your limit, you either break or become a stronger person.

C.S.Lewis Song - Brooke Fraser

I find this, very true.

C.S.Lewis Song - Brooke Fraser

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[CHORUS]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[BRIDGE]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming

Love,
Laine.

When Worlds Collide

When different worlds collide, you get an abstract work of art.

p/s- Need a break or and getaway. A jamming session would be great. Jocelyn, we need this.

what the world needs is a little humour and a bit of Germaine and Ee Laine. We say, "Bring it on!"

"Yes teacher, I understand!"

Humour me!

My Last Cross-country & 5S8 CNY Dinner

laine — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:51:46 +0000

I got through my last cross-country as a purple house member yesterday and I lived! I really thought I was going to faint halfway through the race. I didn't manage to get a point for my house but I am thankful I finished it. I was so determined to get top 30 but knowing well enough I won't because of my lack of exercise and my non-existence stamina. Nonetheless I jogged for the first 2km and got really tired when I was entering my 3rd km so I decided to slow down and walk and occasionally jog when I have strength. When I was nearing the finishing line, they said my class had a few more seconds left, so I sprinted forward but to my disappointment, my time was up. Germaine greeted me with a smile because she got into the top 30 and we walked to the CF room together.

I felt like a failure then.
How could I not even get 1 point for purple house? I though to myself. Sheesh and it's already my last year. Germaine however replied "Maybe sports is not your thing. You have a talent for singing not like me." [rephrased]
At that moment, I was thinking to myself, yeah maybe that's true. Then, I laid down on the floor of the CF room with my bag as a pillow and slept. I was exhausted and totally drained and my sore throat from the night before was getting worse and to add to that, I was feeling sick and cold even though I was still sweating. I stayed on the floor for 30minutes when other CF members shuffled in and out of the room.

Finally at about 11am, it was time to gather all students of Catholic High School together and announce the results. All the members of every house were so hyped up, as always. I wanted to cheer but my sore throat was already bad enough so I decided against it but I participated in the wave which didn't require me to speak at all.

Purple house won again this year. I told Shu Min early that morning that purple was going to win again this year but she was so stubborn and I told Wai Leem that we'll say it feels like a deja vu when it's announced that we won. When it was all over, the first thing I did was run to Shu Min and said "It really does feel like a deja vu, don't you think?" I got whacked for saying that. Haha. Sorry girl, maybe our house really stole all the talented runners.

I know a few of you guys got disqualified, which I shall not mention who but don't be too sad about it, I still love you guys *big hugs*

I feel sick when I got home. Felt too terrible to eat but I was starving so I had some porridge and visited the doctor who in return gave me some medicine for me to take. Had a 45 minutes nap and felt much better after that.

Then, had to get ready for dinner that nigh! Let's let the pictures to do the talking, shall we? (:

Emcees for the day, Jaykerr and Rachel. I think you guys did an awesome job

First performance was Jaykerr, he and his Gu Zhen. I didn't know you were that good! Brilliant

Next up was Zhuo Zhi and Rushan, popping. I bet they practised when they were skipping classes in QM room. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

Then Jocelyn played and sang Bad Romance. AH JOCELYN! How sexy. I think if I was a guy I would have fallen for you, honest. It's your time to SHINE. Sounds bit familiar doesn't it, girl? Haha.

Invited Mr. Michael, our form teacher whom in the beginning initiated this whole dinner to give a speech.

Toasting because it's a Chinese tradition. Hm. Ok.

Germaine with Daryl.

Jaykerr, Zhuo Zhi and Rushan. Haha. Why were we all looking away?

Our ex-classmate who came back specially for the dinner.

Primary school friend till now! Time flies!

Prizes to be given out.

DSLR wannabe.

JoFan, this is for you. We cam-whored with MY DSLR.

Mr. Michael and family. With 2 out of place classmates.

Since Leslie was saying he felt like a gentleman that night, let's see what a "gentleman" he was at the table while eating.

Leslie and his usual "hehehe". It was hilarious sitting beside him during dinner.

Celebrated Kit Yeng's birthday. A day later than her original.

Her cake.

With the girls. Yee Teng & Joanne, where were you guys?

Jocelyn's.

Everyone dressed up that night and were all looking pretty and handsome. Some even wore a dress *ahem*and actually took the initiative to look more, dare I say, feminine *winks* you know who you are. Also, few of the guys actually looked smart in shirt. Didn't know our guys knew how to look good too. Although I had to leave early, I enjoyed myself and had an awesome time together with you all.

p/s- some of the pictures above were taken by Zebra. Thanks but most of them can't be used because they were either underexposed or overexposed! Anyhow, thank you nonetheless.

I still have some pictures to be put up. Some other day perhaps. Enjoy! If you need any of the pictures above, let me know.

Love,
Laine.

Paramore!

laine — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:21:48 +0000

I think it's Jocelyn. Yeah, it must be Jocelyn Khoo Pei Lin. I'm in love with Paramore. Jocelyn! You infested me with your Paramore! Now I wanna get their album, Brand New Eyes. I blame you! Now it's CrushCrushCrush and Brick By Boring Brick all the way for me, till I get it memorised. I know what your response would be "awesome posom".

Ah, Paramore. Sweet.

"She lives in a fairytale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind"

Mess

laine — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:55:28 +0000

All good things must come to an end but I don't want this to end, never ever. It's been the ups and downs for me since the first day of the year and it's getting pretty intense. Wish I knew what to do.

People say there's always something to look forward to even in the midst of all the mess, pain and anguish. I wish I will find that too.

Tears I shed cannot substitute what I feel inside or make the situation better, yet, in vain I still do.

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.

Much love,
Laine.

The Show

laine — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 13:30:10 +0000

If you're wondering why it's been such a long time since the last time I posted up my recording, well I wasn't satisfied with the one I worked on for over a month with my teacher so I threw the idea out the window about posting it up here.

Here's my latest. I still think I could have done better but this is what I have Enjoy!

The Show-Cover

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
And just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show

Love,
Laine.
