I'm here today at this weird hour of the day to promote a few incredibly talented young ladies who sing the shit out of things.
PS. If you've never pressed play on any of the videos on my blog, you're gonna regret pressing play for ANY of the following videos because they're all from different genres but all so so talented and amazing. So PRESS PLAY NOW.
Number One is INGRID MICHAELSON. She's this cute girl who wears specs and has an amazing voice (:
Number Two would be Dawn Mitschele who happens to be good friends with Jason mraz (: She's like the female version of Jason Mraz I think they should get married and have cute little babies who sing like WHOOPEE. This is a video of her singing with another of Jason's best friends BUSHWALLA.
Number Three is Lykke Li. You might have seen her on MTV before. I thought she was weird at first but trust me, she grows on you. After like 2 songs she won me over. She's sweedish and she's pretty awesome. Kind of alike to Robyn if you ask me.
Last but DEFINITELY not least, my personal favourite (: LISA HANNIGAN! She's one infectious girl. Watch her when she sings live. She's like so happy about her music and all. Her voice is just amazing and she's always having fun in her live shows. Really awesome :D
Incredible isn't it? Girl Power. HAH. And something tells me these girls are staying in my mp3 for a while :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAN!!!!!!!!!!! :D Much love (:
& what the world needs is good indie music.

Another tiring day but I'm heartened (: Like really heartened.
Did the poster for Work IC thingy and it turned out to be really really nice! :D So THREE CHEERS FOR MARIANNE CHAN! LOL. and Cindy Tan XD
So here's why I'm heartened. I was told that someone was asking why I was always offline and that he misses me XD SO SWEET RIGHT. Its Timothy Chooooong! HAHA. So i added him on msn at long last and he said this:
i go do my personality biography and cry at your betrayal and nonexistent care of our friendship cut me so deep like a spoon in chocolate paste or a fork in cheese or a knife through sushi
Who uses such language in this day and age? LOL. He cracks me up BIG TIME.
Anyways, talk to Lanze my dearest brother in class and told him about the situation. TSK.
Talking about friend zoning. I feel COMPLETELY friend zoned which sucks. HAH. You keep having me undecided. Its so confusing. TSK.
ANYWAY, I met this JJC dude from my batch at BPP and he's not even like a close friend or whatever. He's Jason's good friend. Think his name is Bing Xiang or something but he was like "HELLO MARIANNE!" I was like 0.0 ooh, he remembers my name! HAHA, so I was something at JJC. SOMETHING. LOL.
Ahhh, I'm feeling happy and depressed at the same time. TSK. Wednesday, please come soon.
I love Siewyi :D HAHA random comment.
Here's what it is. I'm tired. Tired of always guessing. Tired of being tired. Tired of having to try to read your mind. Tired.
& I close my eyes and you and I.

What a day today.
Went Sentosa to tan with Cindy ended up with us going shopping for stuff at GIANT for me. TSK. Accident ONE.
Rushed to Bugis to meet SIEWYI love (: We went to eat Manhatten Fish Market's Fish & Chips that's wayyyy too much for either of us to finish then we went to watch moooovie (: Angels and Demons! Its a really good plot actually. HAH. But yes, accident ONE repeated itself to be accident TWO. tsk tsk. So tired of it already. And PISSED. But I'm glad my dear dear girl was there with me to save me :D LOVE BOTH OF THESE GIRLS.
Urgh, here's a few girls I suddenly miss. WAN (DUH.), Xing Yee (or however her name is spelled), Pei Ying and of course, Ice.
So pictures of my two dates for today (:
What more can I say? My girls always cheer me up (: Love them ALL so so much :D And I cant thank them enough for being so tolerant of me. I know I'm an ass at times. And troublesome! So thanks girls :D My worse day could have been worse but I'm calling it one of my best days (:
Oh yes, I saw Steffy's friend JIA HUI at Bugis. LOL. How hilarious. She looked at me like she wasn't sure if she recognised me and I just smiled at her XD TSK.
& out one day, walking one day; out one day with you. Hallelujiah (:

Today I was EARLY for school and we had good fun (:
Oh, was in HMS office when Kenn and friend walks in. TSK. Freaking awkward please. This friend happens to be this guy called ALDEN that Kenn keeps saying he wanna matchmake me with -.- So he just keeps repeating that line in front of both of us! So embarrassing luh.
Tomorrow, tanning with woman and then off to causeway to meet dearest love SIEWYI for lunch and a mooooovie (: CANT WAIT! :D
Keith Urban - Til Summer Comes Around Another long summer's come and gone I don't know why it always ends this way The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
But I close my eyes and one more time We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly The words came out, I kissed your mouth No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly You had to go, I understand But you promised you'd be back again And so I wander 'round this town Til summer comes around
I got a job working at the old park pier And every summer now for five long years I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks And I count the days til you just might come back
And then I close my eyes and one more time We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly The words came out, I kissed your mouth No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly You had to go, I understand But you promised you'd be back again And so I'm frozen in this town Til summer comes around
Oh and I close my eyes and you and I Are stuck on a ferris wheel rockin with the motion Hand in hand we cried and laughed Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment And "Baby I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear But now the winter wind is the only sound And everything is closing down Til summer comes around
Such a sad song luh. What's wrong with people in love man? They write the happiest and saddest songs XD
& you and I are stuck on a ferris wheel rockin with the motion. Chimps.

I cabbed to school for nothing today. And I mean for nothing.
Its one thing to be late. And I truly apologise for being late. Still, I dont apologise for anything else.
Anyway, I'm glad we're done with the health campaign thing. I think it was a pretty good ending (: With lunch at alumni and all. Hope someone found my coconut and cheered up :D HAHA.
Oh, interview for YEP was pretty alright I guess. Ms Fong and the other lecturer was nice. They asked me to tell them more about myself. They asked if I saw myself as a follower or a leader and for once I decided to be bold and say "LEADER". Hah. Oh yes, I made friends with Esther who happens to be a really really sweet nice girl! HAH. Oh and she says I look alike to Mildred from T01 which is RIDICULOUS. I think mildred's like 5 times prettier than me AT LEAST.
No, you dont. A smile never hurt anyone. A smile would never ever hurt you either so why choose a sulk over a smile right?
I want my tattoo soon. Like really soon. I want it.
I think I'm ready. I' ready to pull back from everything I've known and enter some new world. I'm ready for change. I'm ready for whatever life wants to throw at me.
I'm watching L Word all over again. From the start. You have no idea how much that show has changed my perspective on things. And for that commonly asked question, my answer is I dont know but I'd like another.
& dont take it out on me; I'm not the enemy.

For anyone who wont get to see it, this is what I've been working on for DAYS AND DAYS. TSK.
Tiring but its finally done!
I'm tired. Too tired to think about it so dont make it harder for me. TSK. I'm NOT going to think about it.
All American Rejects - Another heart calls Do you remember when we didn't care We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there Do you remember you at all Another heart calls
Yeah I remember when we stole the night We'd lie awake but dreaming 'til the sun would wash the sky

Today's been good.
Went to school for HEALTH PSYCH and we're so so so gonna miss Emily. TSK. Our one and only BIMBO; GONE! ):
We went to ELTON SEAH's house AGAIN after school and did the recording for helth psych. SUCKS BIG TIME PLEASE. I can never be an actress. I dont remember lines well and I HATE being in front of the camera and talking. So we ended up spending so freaking long taking the vid. But it was kinda fun.
WOMAN, YOUR SONG THING SHOULD BE FUNNY. HAHA, I;M EXCITED. CANT WAIT!
Anyway, I'm hooked on All American Rejects (OOH, finally something mainstream from Marianne XD)
AAR - Sunshine It's a new day It's a bright day Even when you stand in the dark It's just that you've been broken 50 pieces
Today is gone Yet I'm the only light that you see You need someone I know all you needed was me
Everyday we wait If it takes too long Just tell me something new Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
Another pale moon Shines like high noon When I never felt so cold alone It's just that you're uneasy When you need me
Today is gone Yet I'm the only light that you see You need someone I know all you needed was me
Everyday we wait If it takes too long Just tell me something new Forget about the sunshine when it's gone You can say it's right but if feels so wrong Show me something true Forget about the sunshine Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
Today is gone I'm the only light that you see You need someone And I know all you needed was me
Everyday we wait If it takes too long Just tell me something new Forget about the sunshine when it's gone You can think it's right when it feels so wrong Show me something true Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
Everyday we wait If it takes too long Show me something true Forget about the sunshine when it's gone You can think it's right but it feels so wrong Show me something true Forget about the sunshine Forget about the sunshine when it's gone

Yes, that's kinda like how I feel now. Completely Confused.
I tell everyone I'm clear but if I was I'm not now. I dont know. Guess its been pretty long since I've connected this much with someone. Your intentions are not clear enough my dear. I dont get you and that's a huge sign. I dont get you. I dont understand you.
I tell all of them that I'll say no but yeah. I've told everyone that its not gonna happen but somehow I find myself wishing it would. I dont know anymore. TSK.
You know, I wouldn't blog about it if it hasn't been bugging me the whole day. I'm bouncing to and fro.
Eisley - Telescope Eyes Oh... you humor me today, calling me out to play, with your telescope eyes, metal teeth, I can't be seen with you, you freak.
Go cry, go run away, let your short legs carry you away, with your big dress and your dirty hair, your pen's waiting for you, just get far far away from me, I don't want your disease.
Please don't make me cry, Please don't make me cry, I'm just like you, I know you know, I'm just like you, so leave me alone.
I wonder, why can’t you see? You’re just not near enough like me, With your telescope eyes, metal teeth, I can’t be seen with you.
Please don't make me cry, Please don't make me cry, I'm just like you, I know you know, I'm just like you, so leave me alone.
Please don't make me cry, Please don't make me cry, I'm just like you, I know you know, I'm just like you, so leave me alone.
Please don't make me cry, Please don't make me cry, I'm just like you, I know you know, I'm just like you, so leave me alone.

Anyway, today's been painful. Dont wanna talk about it.
I wrote something else today and passerby, I omitted all semicolons from this one. JUST FOR YOU. Haha, yes. Why make myself look like I dont know how to use semicolons right? TSK.
'Lone' Tormented soul Dont let your heart die Set your goal Dont let your dreams fly Mysterious girl Dont let them stop you Its your world Dont let them cheat you
Your dungeons No one comprehends Your tunnels They try to collapse Your bridges They burn them down But your world Dont let them turn it around.
Darkness Your confidence Silence Your only defence Thinking Your greatest vice Unnerving You never think twice
Dont hide yourself from the world Let them try to read you Your thoughts, so unheard They're the ones to free you So let your world unfold in your mind Make sure it stands the test of time Rid yourself of all those lies Then you'll start to realise

They say three is a magic number and I believe so (:
Yesterday was an awesome day out with Twin and dearest Steffy. Like HELLO, how rare is it that the three of us hang out?! Anyway, met Steffy at SP (YES! SINGAPORE POLY -.-) then walked to twin's workshop then left for Vivo for lunch and get movie tickets. Pretty funny since we rushed through lunch because we thought we were gonna miss the beginning of the movie but we ended up sitting in the cinema for half an hour watching advertisements. TSK.
WOLVERINE IS A DAMN NICE SHOW PLEASE. NEXT MOVIE TO WATCH : TRANSFORMERS!!
We went to the rooftop to take pictures! (: But it got too hot so we went back in and kinda like walked around aimlessly XD Then decided to go back to church. Bought dinner back to youth office to eat and played guitarrrr!!!!! WHOOO. Was high already then went for mass :D Cute little boy in front of us was wiping the seat with his hair and then his butt. HAHA. AND my boyfriend was sitting opposite!! ARGH, so cute.
Anyway, after mass was probably when things got really crazy. Think me and steffy only get high at night XD We sat at one of the benches at the piazza under the night sky and sang songs non stop. Like random shit. HAHA! Twin went round taking photos and gerald sat in a corner and emo-ed. HAH. But yeah, it was madness when me and steffy start singing cos we dont stop! Miss those times we sat up in the middle of the night singing during P6 camp! So funny luh. Good times :D
Oh, here's how much fun we were having. At 10.15pm we said we'll leave at 10.30pm but we ended up leaving at 11pm. HAHA, I bet if we could we would have stayed there ALL night. Singing songs. Pretty amazing (:
I'm waiting for my photos! TSK.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALD HO. TIME TO GROW UP. I'm nice. I make card for him.
Anyways, so I'm so freaking proud of myself for 'Counting Stars'. Dont ask me why. HAHA.
Oh, I've been listening to pet Shop Boys and OMG, THEY ARE PRETTY AMAZING! HAHAHAHA! Weird and amazing! Exactly what I like huh.
Metric - Grow Up And Blow Away
Floating the room two by two from the womb to the holidays there is no holiday
first double cross her heart he wants to start a family needing something to go on
if she weren't writing in blood she'd bring him her jokes a new liver and a shovel for the mile if he were not knee deep in mud he'd bring her his jokes he'd get her a typewriter
if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away
nobody knows which street to take he took the easy way what was the easy way
first double cross her heart he wants to start a family she always thought she would not
if she werent riding in bars she'd bring him her jokes a new liver and a shovel for the mile if he were not knee deep in mud he'd bring her his jokes he'd get her a typewriter
if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away
first double cross her heart he wants to start a family her body is the baby
if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away if this is the life why does it feel so good to die today blue to grey, grow up and blow away
blue to grey brow up and blow away blue to grey grow up and blow away blue to grey grow up and blow away blue to grey grow up and blow away
So this song is kind of like the epitome of why I live my life the way it is. Its like if we're all succumbing to daily life and we're not happy even though its considered a good life in everyone else's eyes then what's the point of living it? So yeah, live life the way you want to live it no matter what everyone else thinks of it. That's why. Sleeping on the streets is still my dream.

Everything about today's been bittersweet.
For those who dont know, I'm ruining it for you.
KRIS ALLEN WON AMERICAN IDOL AND I DONT CARE COS ADAM LAMBERT ROCKS TOO! SO WHOEVER WON I DONT CARE. THEY'RE BOTH AMAZING.
So bittersweet cos I wanted Lanbert to win. And you know why he didnt win? Its probably because he's GAY and people dont want a GAY american idol. TSK. HAHA.
Okay, I'm gearing up for later on (:
I awoke from a dream today of Ice again. Not the same dream but a different one. We were hanging out LOL. Yes, hanging out and we went to Giant at my place to get some stuff and I piggy backed Ice all the way back home. Carl Jung, INTEPRETE THAT. HAHA. Oh wells.
So yes, later on should be fun :D WHOOPEE.
So here's something I wrote last night. I'm calling it 'Counting Stars'.
Your voice; it keeps me awake. Your words; makes my soul shake. You make me wanna stay up all night; Counting stars shining bright.
I feel alive; once more. I've never felt; so sure. This bursting of colours; Erupting emotions. No one else comprehends; How you and I blend. So fill me up once more; With the colours you outpour.
Your touch; it warms my heart. Your beat; throbs in my blood. You make me wanna stay up all night; Counting stars shining bright.
Sweet sweet melody; Never stray far from me. You're my only form of pleasure; My ultimate euphoria. You're my addiction; There's no need for jurisdiction. The answers are so clear; With you right here.
For all those speculating, nope. Its not about love between humans. Its about love for music. My love for music.
& my own personal brand of heroine.

Anyways, I talked to Sam today. He's trying to get me to say no to getting a tattoo. BUT no! I'm still gonna get one. Pretty sure about it (: Maybe when I'm like 21 years old.
So today we did some activity during Heidi's class. Apparently it should reflect myself and here's what I infered. I'm dark. DARK. AND WEIRD. HAH.

Ever so subtly its happening. Without me wanting to happen. Without me even thinking it would happen, its happening.
My heart wont listen. I know. No matter how subtle, I know.
So anyway, today's been pretty retarded! Woke up late so ended up being late to go to Elton's house. We discussed for like 1 hour? Then we went off to play drums and pool and then watched Transporter 3. Came home after a disappointing trip to POPULAR. My faith in popular is SOOOO gone. Art Friend's wayyy better. Popular didn't have DARK brown pastel colours. It didn't have DARK BROWN construction paper or any brown construction paper for that matter. TSK. BUT at least I got to see Fiona and Faith! HAHA, so coincidental luh. Yes, so tomorrow is painting day (: I see how I can do it now and I think it looks pretty :D
Kasabian's new album is coming. I MIGHT buy it. MIGHT. I really like them but its pretty seasonal as in I dont love them 24/7. I just listen to them for about a few months then I stop listening to them for the next few months then I listen again but they always prove why I love them as a band (: GOOD MOOOOSEEEK.
Kasabian - Seek & Destroy Seek and destroy all you have cos I know Brother your fears and my tears cos you know And all I have now is being here with you
Seek and destroy all you have cas I know Cos I know know right now They will never be tuning in To what we know
And all I have now is being here with you Cover your fear it's all we know Cover your fear it's all we know And all I have now Is being here with you

Oh, I laughed so loudly once the uncle beside us say we had very big "SPEAKERS" like erm.....OKAY. haha.
Love her so so so so so so so much (: HAHA, like I've told so many people before she's one of the RARE people who actually get me and understand me completely! LOVE YOU BABE! :D You're the best! NEXT MONDAYYYY! (: (: (: This friendship is built to last okay, trust me.

I know it has been months since I cut my hair but today I was looking through my old photos and saw myself with my long long hair and I thought "Why the hell did you chop those away?" TSK. I know this is weird but I only regret cutting my hair short now. After many months of cutting it already. I know it makes me look younger and I know it makes me more unique but here's what it is. In my own opinion, I just think I look better with my long hair. Probably cos I'm so tom boyish that having short hair seriouslymakes me feel like a guy. Another thing is, I HATE spending so much time blowing it so that it'll stay in place. My long hair is hassle free. TSK. Too late. Now I'm just waiting for it to grow back.
I miss my long hair; badly ):
Anyways, I've compiled all the guitar chords I need on word documents so I can play songs without the internet :D BRILLIANT MARIANNE!
Oops, sorry. I just shouted at my dad. Damn, so much for trying to be a better person. He just gets on my nerves most of the time. PEACE DADDY! (: We're too alike so we piss each other off. TSK.
I'm listening to KASABIAN! Have I ever mentioned how awesome they are? I dont care if they're cult culture or whatever okay. They make good beats and good songs. Should introduce to Nisha XD Oh, but they're less violent sounding than The Prodigy. HAH.
I love it. I have such a wide array of songs of different genres in my external hard disk XD LOVE IT. Can grab some and listen whenever I want to (:
So Kasabian. This is one of my favourites! Its called "Empire". Amazing beats and music :D Wanted to put up the official music video but apparently its not available in Singapore -.- Its not even violent! Its a superbly nice vid of war and a little boy. TSK. Yeah, so here's the one that's live from Abbey Road. They are pretty awesome!
Lunching with SIEWYI tomorrow (: Cant wait!

Today I've learnt that I live in a pretty judgemental family and I have many judgemental friends.
I hear criticism being thrown all over the place at people we dont even know. Is that really the way we wanna live our lifes? Pointing out flaws in other people that we ourselves probably have as well. Telling other people what to do with their lives while we push aside what we're supposed to do with ours. Again I ask, who are we to judge the ones who have yet to be judged by God. Tsk.
I was talking to Daniel Ang a few nights back and he didnt understand when I told him his views were already tainted before even understanding them. That he was using his own terms of right and wrong to judge other people. He didnt understand. Its pretty simple. Yes, we are all allowed to create our own right and wrong but people should understand these justifications are to keep ourselves in check. We shouldn't be using our own set of right and wrong on other people who have different lifestyles from us. Okay, so the topic we were on was about gays. He said that most of them were experimenting. I got pretty pissed off when he said that. Its so obvious he's using his own judgements and he said he has friends who are gays and after understanding them, they're not doing anything good for themselves. This pissed me off further. How can he say such a thing when he's never felt what they've felt? When he's never experienced what they've experienced? How can he clamp his very own jurisdictions on people from a completely different walk of life from him? That's why I tried explainging to him that his views were tainted. That he wasn't understanding them with a clean slate. He has already judged them before even trying to understand them.
I wouldn't say I'm pro-gay or anti gay. But what I believe is that its their choice and if I expect people to respect my choices in life, I'd expect myself to respect their choices too. I'm not saying its right or wrong. All I'm saying is that its they're life. If they're experimenting, let them because it wouldn't be a problem if it were a heterosexual couple we're talking about would it?
Who are we to decide if what someone else decides is right or wrong. Whoever stated that heterosexuals are superior and homosexuals and inferior? When was it out right to push minorities to the back and take the front seats? When was it our place to cast our fatal clutches of judgement on other people? When did the world become so unaccepting of one another?
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
& I find it kind of funny; I find it kind of sad.

Went to school for like 1 hour then went home -.- LOL.
Supposed to meet Gerald at Lot One but I subconsciously just took the bus all the way home. How not focused am I huh. So ended up going home and tuning my guitar just in time before I had to go fetch him. TSK. So we sat at the void deck and played guitar XD
OH my dad called and asked where I was. Little did I know, he was at home and I told him I was at home too! ): HAHA, FAIL. Yeah, and my mom came home and saw us hanging out at the void deck. Surprisingly they didnt gimme hell about it. SURPRISINGLY.
I had fun today! Learn something new RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT! We exchanged lowest points in our lives. HEH.
I met TIMOTHY on the way home from school! He's still a nice guy huh.
Went to Yew Tee for dinner and met EUGENE yes, that dude from MAYBANK. I'm so so so surprised he remembers me! XD His haircut is funny please. Okay, I'm being mean.
Yes, I'm being serious now.
& run dont walk; the sky is falling through.

After last night, I know what it is. Its eloquence. Everyone who speaks with eloquence blows me off my feet more than anything else in the world. Like Carl Jung. XD
Anyway, last night's dinner was just me and four guys. LOL. So it turned out to be a rather -.- dinner talking about computers, mouse with 2 balls and all that. Tsk. Seriously, wrong table okay.
So let's talk about EISLEY. Who's music is so similar to Metric and vice versa (: NICE. Thanks to twin for introducing them to me! They happen to be a 3 girl, 2 guy group and they're one BIG family. Yes, sibling band. How cool and so much less cheesy than The Jonas Brothers. TSK.
Its happening all the time When I open my eyes I'm still taken by surprise I hold sunlight and swallow fireflies And it makes me want to cry
I love you
I shall never grow up Make believe is much to fun Can we go far away to the humming meadow
[Sherri's singing] We were walking there I had tangles in my hair But you make me feel so pretty You have shinning eyes Yes like those forest lights And it makes me want to cry
[Stacy's singing at the same time] I was just wishing you were here So we could walk down to the stream And we could throw all our leaves in Seeing our dragon when we look
I love you
I shall never grow up Make believe is much to fun Can we go far away to the humming meadow
I shall never grow up Make believe is much to fun This place is so lovely It kind of makes me very happy Lets go far away to the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
To the humming meadow
& see our dragon when we look (:

I know I wont be blogging tonight. Probably be home late after CYA (:
I feel recharged and happy about not going to school today. Haha :D
Today's post is gonna sound really EGOISTIC because its all about me. BUT it helps with understanding Carl Jung's theory better in a way! XD
Anyways, I redid the Jung Type Test. Now I'm ENFP! Which means I'm Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perception.
So here's what I am.
I am outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking, good at getting people to have fun, pleasure seeking, irresponsible, physically affectionate, risk taker, thrill seeker, likely to have or want a tattoo, adventurous, unprepared, attention seeking, hyperactive, irrational, loves crowds, rule breaker, prone to losing things, seductive, easily distracted, open, revealing, comfortable in unfamiliar situations, attracted to strange things, non punctual, likes to stand out, likes to try new things, fun seeker, unconventional, energetic, impulsive, empathetic, dangerous, loving, attachment prone, prone to fantasy.
HOW TRUE IS THAT? Tsk, makes alot of sense now!
These are proffessions that I'm suited to have.
I should be a performer, actor, entertainer, songwriter, musician, filmmaker, comedian, radio broadcaster/dj, some job related to theater/drama, poet, music journalist, work in fashion industry, singer, movie producer, playwright, bartender, comic book author, work in television, dancer, artist, record store owner, model, freelance artist, teacher (art, drama, music), writer, painter, massage therapist, costume designer, choreographer, make up artist.
LOL. Whoopee, all the careers I WANT to have are on this list.
As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.
ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.
ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.
An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.
Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.
Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.
An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. Most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems.
ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions.
ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. The strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. However, ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences.
Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendancies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living.
ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing.
Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.
ENFPs are charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.

See, Carl Jung's test is so accurate. CARL JUNG FOR THE WIN! I love Carl Jung, I'd idolise him if he's alive and younger! XD
How do you know this really is you though? What if you've been hiding behind a facade for so long you dont know which is the real you?
& what if.

Today I embarrassed myself twice.
1st time was when I screamed when I ALMOST stepped on a cockroach. 2nd time was when I said "YES!" after running to put my bag on the chair in Makan Place, behaving like a true Singaporean.
So yes, Marianne is retarded.
Ending the day with coming out of the toilet and seeing Derek and gang is considered to be the worst way to end. Tsk tsk. STARE SOME MORE, I DIG OUT YOUR EYEBALLS. LOL.
I am going to VIETNAM. Trust me. HAHA. I'mma going (: My mom allows.
I'm starting to wonder if its all worth it; but it does keep me going back.
Glass Pear - My Ghost Lovers come and lovers go, Once they live but now they ghost, Walking the streets they used to know like shadows. People disappear every hour and every year, Sometimes I believe theyre here like shadows, Like shadows. Who can you trust, In this place, And whom can i put my faith, If youre real, then show me now, Who you are. How can I love, without grace, Shine a light on your face, If youre real, then show me now Who you are! Blowing like a secret wind, Pouring on my naked skin, Like a river flowing in the ocean. And when I turn to see your face, I saw a joy I could not place, Vanishing without a trace, Like a shadow in the sun. Who can you trust, In this place, Where can I put my face, If god is love, then why the world the way it is. How can I love, without grace, Shine a light on your face, If youre real then show me now, Who you are!
This has been one of the most exhausting weekends ever! HAHA, I feel more tired than on weekdays; how rare. But in a good way (:
Yesterday went to church and did the whole mothers' day thingy. I think it was kind of a success in the end! (: Came home cleared my room for entertaining relatives. TSK.
Last night was probably THE first time I was allowed to stay downstairs till 11+pm. Heh. We wanted to play guitar but too bad. Mom says its too late and we'd wake the whole neighbourhood. At least we finished what we had to do! :D
Woke up this morning to go for Children's Lit. Next week is the attachment kids' last week apparently. Oh wells. HAHA, wonder how many of them are staying on.
So I'm EXHAUSTED now since its been SUCH a hectic weekend. Plus homework and all. TSK. Okay, I'm going to sleep! :D
Tada! Splendid isn't it. WHAT WOULD HE DO WITHOUT ME. XD
& happy mothers' day! (:

I've found a new place to eat (: SOUPSPOON!
Okay, here's the story. Its now saturday and so I'll typ in a last night mannerism.
Took 174 to town from westmall. Freaking long bus ride but I didnt mind besides my back giving me problems. Anyways, got to town and I was brought to SOUPSPOON to have dinner. Haha, its a big huge bowl man. Anyways, think we took too long for dinner cos by the time we got to Art Friend it closed already XD So we went to this other art shop and made the lady close half an hour later! But she was really really nice about it! And she earned $43 more okay. HAH.
We decided it was too late to do anything else so we walked around then bussed home.
That's it. My mother's day pressie is NOT done yet. Meeting Gerald in church later to get it done. Tsk, so troublesome. All for my mom XD WHOOPEE.
I wanted to put up a vid of Tilly and The Wall but hey, this one really made me a fan. Glass Pear (:
& how can I love; without grace? Shed a light on your face.

As it is; I dont really know. As it is; I dont really comprehend. As it is; I would like not to care. As it is; I'd like to say No, I dont. As it is; I made a confession. As it is; I dont like feeling this way. As it is; it is confusing. As it is; its complex. As it is; I dont know it yet.
Dont ask.
Anyway, today's a fantastic day. Gave all my time to my guitar after a few days of not touching it (:
So its contradiction again. I'm happy; yet sad. I feel adventurous; yet fearful. Its a collision of emotions probably.
Ah well! Tomorrow I'll go get my mother's mother day pressie and probably waste alot of money on alcohol. TSK. HAH, ah well. Social Obligations!

Another day spent with CYA members plus NEW members. Amazing (:
The day was long today and I had to stay high if I wanted to be high at CYA but SPECOMM really made me sleepy! ):
Met Gerald and went Makan Place to eat not so nice LOR MAI KAI, not so nice PORRIDGE, and drank not so nice TEH PENG and not so nice TEH SEE PENG. Tsk, disappointing food.
Went off to the CYA room and that's where everything went WAYYY uphill. Singing during praise and worship was fun. Icebreakers were fun too! :D SUCCESS! And of course, the mingling was pretty fun too! Dinner-ed with Isaac big bro, Viv, Gerald and erm, myself. DUH. Was joined by THE OTHER GERALD (Viv's friend) hahaha! KAP Mac.
Bus-ed home with the Gerald I know and now I'm HOME and really really tired. haha.
Okay, selected pictures! (:

What a day (:
Guess who's late today? MS LOW. Haha, when everyone finally turned up on time, she's late! Anyway, I kinda got pissed off about the whole "We cant keep repeating the same mistakes each week." Like HELLO, I get it. I'm sorry for some puny blunder. Does it make a difference Marianne or Marianne Chan when there's only one Marianne in the whole class? Ah well.
Lunched with the class again but this time they all went off group by group and it was left with me and woman! HAHA. How sad right!
Emily's tutorial was kinda fun :D PROPOSITION WINS YOO.
Heidi's was pretty much sleepy! Alfred Adler doesnt wow me, CARL JUNG DOES! She better bring her picture for me tomorrow. I wanna see!
Met Viv and we ended up spending like 15 mins? HAHA then I feel horrible towards her. Cos I thought my parents were fetching me home so she could like get a lift. BUT my parents changed plans and she had to take bus by herself ): So sorry love!!
I'm feeling really happy. I had a good time making woman sooo angry XD Dont sad okay. FIGHT FOR IT.
So was reminded that I DONT have a present for my mom on mothers' day and so I'm going shopping for it this friday with Gerald. :D (EH THANK ME, I'M LIKE PROMOTING YOUR NAME ON MY BLOG; tsk tsk.)
Ah, I'm really so sure without music I'd be dead.

Where do I even begin to tell you how much fun I've had over the last holiday plus weekend?
Friday was alright. Lunch with family and then off home I went.
Saturday was definitely the HIGHLIGHT of the whole weekend. Went for mass and thought it'd be just dinner with Marcus and Genn then heart to heart talk with Marcus since Genn has to make it back to church. It ended up being a superb night out with Marcus, Twin and GERALD! Gerald who we all didnt know THAT well but we all liked alot because he was this guy who was just SUPERBLY nice and friendly. So we asked him along for dinner!
We dined with Uncle Paul, his wife and Genn's sister, Gwen at the coffee shop opposite church. After dinner, me, Marcus and Gerald headed to twin's house cos he had to feed his dogs. We took a bus and took LOADS of photos with twin's big ass camera. Went to his house and played with his dogs and played his piano! :D Gerald writes songs! Can you believe it?!?! HAHA, anyways, after that we bought our alcohol and Marcus bought his Chrysenthemum Tea and we headed to Little Guilin which is this really romantic hang out -.- But we were there on UNromantic purposes. We drank and talked and I looked up and thought "Hey, SIEWYI is sooo nearby!" So I called her and she being the BIGGEST dearest friend of mine brought pringles down for us and joined us! XD LOVE YOU MY DEAR! FRIDAY! :D
After that we ended up talking alot about relationships and stuff and took MORE photos and talked till 11.30pm before heading home XD Such a fun day!
Sunday was alright (: No children's lit ): But its okay :D I fell sick and was sneezing away in church and people stared at me. I DO NOT HAVE SWINE FLU. I'M ALRIGHT. HAH.
So I dunno. I'm super happy :D Because I've found someone who's able to make me smile my ass off so darn easily. TSK. I'm so so so sure its just infatuation for now. But yea, I just want someone who makes me smile and he does! (:
That's life for now. (: Pretty satisfied. Had lunch with the class today. I like being the class now that I've started. I always thought I couldn't get along with most of the girls in class but guess what? I think we're all not that different at all. (:
Wednesday CYA yo (: So yeppers. Meeting Viv tmr night in school to sort out ice breakers! (: ANYONE WANNA COME ALONG?! HAHAH DINNERRR!

Too little too late but we don't say no It's too much to feel Tie my right hand to the bible
