And I'll keep you
A daydream away
Just watch from a safe place
So I never have to lose

Let's make it happen. Get unsigned bands signed,by helping them with a fanbase, and signed bands into Asia. There's good music out there, and we ALL need it. So knock yourselves out.

2011 has been Golden.
 You know what, I did not remember writing that Paparazzi post at all! LOL. I must have been worn and was juts like BLAH BLAH BLAH all over. It does sound decent tho. Anyway, I felt like writing today before I start on my revision again because somebody reminded me of you. And I wanted to write because I know that after my exams I'll be glued to the couch or bed and this thing will go on a hiatus again. I want to do a recap of the year. I hope this will be more insightful than boring. So here goes. From the get-go, this semester started at a pretty much fast speed. Thrown into my paparazzi commitments, 206 assignments and of course writing emails so that I can *crosses finger* get all the modules I planned for this semester, it was game time from the beginning. And you know i always approach a new semester with anticipation, and excitement and well, some dread. LOL. But from the start it seemed like it was going to be a good one. I got a 4-day week (first time ever). I got COM 253. My best friend and I planned lunch/dinner dates together. Paparazzi was time-consuming but such great experience. So while the beginning was really good, things started breaking apart in the middle. Paparazzi was at its most active time, I had to come back on Fridays, I was getting my hands dirty (literally! I painted and had PAINT all over me), I was there for every full-dress rehearsal and all those late night in which i got home at 11 and at times thankful when my dad picked me up. I mean I could go on about the duties and other stuff that went down with PAPA but, it truly would take forever. Its been a whirlwind of experience and I'm so blessed to have done it. Ive grown and become more confident in myself, I met some amaze balls freshies who just seemed so invigorated by life that i can't eli but feed not hat energy too. So while i was tired, and missing a lot of my work and readings, I wouldn't have changed a thing. And at the end of it, it was good to be able to share this experience with Jeya (because after that we barely got to see each other anymore) and the crew. Then of course, mid-terms piled in. For missing all the readings, I had major catching up to do. which accounted for my below par COM 207 grades. But again, I have myself to blame and no one else. then there was of course COM 206 and I again challenged myself there. The thing is, my group went through a lot of shit, A LOT. and I know that all everyone were like happy with the end product but I am. And I only know that my videos will be better from here on :) Then, there was my bestfriend who i probably got to see less than 10 (if I'm being brutal, 5) times this year. Our Monday dinner dates never happened. Our Wednesday lunch dates slowly was forgotten. The thing is, I have so much to say to her. But when she's in front of me, i don't know where to start. So i don't even. Its difficult to always start from the beginning that sometimes you just think to yourself, let's just move forward. And that's exactly what I tried to do with her. I told my dad about us and he was like "But that's expected right?" And part of me was hurt by that, and another part of me realized that yeah, I did. I just never said it out loud. I don't blame her, she's not wrong. She's happy with her life, the state that it is in, and so am I. I am for her. I just secretly wished I was more a part of it. I feel upset just writing this because Ive never gone through a semester without her, and I did this time around. But I feel like my deadlines, my assignments, my other friends, helped me through it. and I don't know if it'd be the same next sem. It's always been that we grew up but never apart and now, we are. If i never asked her out to study, she would never ask me out to study. And even when she says "Yeah, we can stay again on Weds", I can never take it as a study date and I have to say "Yeah, let me know, whatsapp me or something" because whats worst than a straight-up no, is when people bail on you. So i guess this semester I learnt that you can't always expect people to keep to their word, or mean what they say. and it's not so much that they want to hurt you, but they are busy with their lives. And you need to accept that and do with yours what you have to. this semester, two of my friends got boyfriends, and it will just be a matter of time before all of them have one. and I'm dreading the idea of being forever single and not because I want a boyfriend, but WHO WILL HANG WITH ME THEN. HAHAHA. Then of course, certain things went down with my mum but in recent weeks, things have gotten better. Two weeks of silence between us could possibly be a good thing. And I found two friends that go through the same things that I do. and to share it with me, I am so blessed. Its great to confide with friends and your bestfriends, but until you meet someone who has been through it themselves, you can never feel less alone. with one them, I learnt perseverance. With the other, I learnt to be a better Muslim daughter. I met her at Chinese class. And at first I had my reservations about her but we slowly grew closer in a matter of 12 weeks and before I knew it, I looked up to her. For finally, I found a Malay female role model. And i can honestly say that there is a lot of things about our friendship that I will miss. So you see, things really do balance themselves out. you lose some people on the way, but you do gain and learn from others. This semester has been great. And to think I will only need to go to school for 2 more days. With regards to my results. LOL. I was aiming for all B+ this semester, since i need to start pulling my grades to 2nd class upper but... seeing how the exams have turned out, it might not quite work out. But we'll see. I should get back to studying now. My arts GERPE paper is on monday and i still have 285920581092719 readings to do. NOT COOL.  and honestly, the biggest lesson for me this semester that I still pretty much battle with when it comes to my creativity and choices that I make, is really "Fuck what people think" because you need to stand your ground to be creative and to push your boundaries. And you're not gonna do it right if you keep thinking about others think of your art. you've just got to do it, and if it sucks, and do it again... and again.. and again. there's not enough time in University (and life) to please everyone, at some point, pleasing you should be MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Heard them first thanks to the Tap Tap Revenge 3 apps on IPhone fell in love with their song Autumn immediately. Signed to Fealess (think The Maine and Breathe carolina), they basically play around with the same genre of punk pop. The members are likeable especially the lead singer, but this band definately worth a listen. Just released a new video calleed We Love Like Vampires and their album title is Eyes To the Sun.I myself have yet to listen to the whole album. For now, Fave tracks: Autumn  Asteria Asteria has a mix of sounds that pretty much anyone can love. Their self-titled EP is awesome. Fave Tracks: The Taste, The Touch and A Lesson In Charades  Three-man band from Virginia and signed to an indie. they probably sound like... a generic pop/punk band (sorry, had to use the word) but there's some good quality in their songs as they are upbeat though it does take a few listen as songs like Apocalypse sounds amateurish. Fave tracks: Closer time, Goldmine Valentine Alumni
