Fashion Swop Hauls!!!

I went for this Fashion Swop at Jurong Point

Sochii told me about it.

It's organised by Jurong Point 

and there's this Facebook page you can follow

https://www.facebook.com/WeLoveToSwop

There will be more events up in different locations, so people staying in the other areas do not need to worry.

I did a vlog on my shopping hauls!!!

So take a look at it, and remember to subscribe!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/cookiejinn

I brought a bag of clothes, paid $5 (for 'admission' but proceeds are all for charity)

and took home 8 items!!

You practically bring your pre-loved and SWOP with the others.

It was quite disappointing, looking at the age of the crowd (aunties), 

it's really hard for us to find clothes our types.

Here are photos of some hauls!

Sorry for the bad photos as I was using the laptop camera instead.

Need a tripod, need a ring light. I want pretty photos!

the camisole

dress from topshop

cute dress with pockets

tank from cotton on

before the event end, there was a lucky draw and both of us won.

$10 Espirit vouchers

$5 Prima Deli

$5 Helen

Sochii gave me her Espirit voucher and I got this

It's $26.90, so after using the 2 $10 vouchers, I only need to pay $6.90!

Got some hairbands from Helen too.

Am quite pleased with my hauls :)

Actually, fashion swop is real fun, plus since the proceeds go to charity.

Maybe, I should hold a small one with my friends. 

Or even a bigger one, for charity.

Seems fun.

DJ Party 2012 Streetfest

This is the last event I attended for Streetfest and SHINE Youth Festival.

I was really excited, since I have always go for DJ Party if possible and this year there's guest performance from Japan!

Japanese Visual Kei band, sForzato.

It's really exciting cause the vocalist, cedo, is a friend of mine, so it's like a mini gathering of friends who I haven't seen for awhile.

Here's the video highlights for the events.

Though not a lot of friends went for the event, but it's still fun.

Thanks Yiting for accompany me to the event.

Some photos of the day.

Singapore Inter-School Show Choir Competition 2012

Attended the Singapore Inter-School Show Choir Competition 2012 over the weekend with Joyce and TehPeng.

I overslept, as usual, and cabbed down to ACSI for the event.

I seriously need to clear my sleep debts and not take naps so often.

Pardon me, since I didn't had proper sleeping hours and sleeps because of school.

We weren't allowed to film the competition, so here's cuts of the preparations.

I know the video quality ain't very good, but I don't know why, I am unable to upload videos that I exported out from Final Cut.
I don't know whether it's the coding, Quicktime movie, but it should be the common ones used.
So, I had to compress the videos in .mp4 instead, and all the quality get compressed :(

Here are some photos of the performances!!!

It's really cool since it's a brand new thing going on.
show choir was make known and "famous" after the drama series, GLEE
(which remind me that I really need to watch it since I have graduated)

It's like a break through from traditional choir, not that traditional choir isn't good.
But, adding on with performances, dances and even acting so bring the entire choir even more amazing and fun.
It bring lots of smiles to both the audiences and performers.

Yes,
SMILES.
That's the word I have been hearing around the events.
Students telling each others to smile, and even their instructors and teachers too.
SMILES during performances and bring SMILES to the audiences too!

The only thing I couldn't stand throughout the entire show was the flashing colorful spotlights.
To be honest, it was really a big distraction from watching the performances.

Once again, thanks Glee Studios for the opportunity to attend the event :)

Last of all,

CONGRATULATIONS TO 

Tampines Secondary School (Category A)
Singapore University of Technology and Design (Category B)

as winners!

[SHINE] A Capella Championship 2012

As part of SHINE, I was down to cover the A Capella Championship 2012 on Saturday 7th July 2012.

If you do not know, I am actually covering SHINE event with video coverage with a Panasonic Camcorder HC-X900M that I was provided during this period.

I only managed to cover the 2nd part of the A Capella Championship 2012 as I had school.

It was held in SP, and I kinda got lost trying to find the venue within SP ><

I mean like, SP is HUGEEE, every poly are huge. 

If it's in NP I will most prolly find my way FAST!

Met a NUS Resonance supporter while navigating my way through, and we had to ask the SP students to find our way there. oh my.

The 2nd part of the championship consists of the 

COLLEGE, OPEN & INTERNATIONAL category.

College

So Fly

A Capella Group Too

Pitch Please

Vocal Jam

A Capella Group

Rhapsody 

Open

Voix-la!

The Tembusa Trouble Makers

The Syncopath

NUS Resonance 

International

A-Five (from Korea)

My hand went really soar half way through, filming throughout the event, building all those muscles in my arm! 

It was fun though, listening to each group sing, seeing so many talented people out there.

I missed the first group, but here are the cuts of the championship!

Congratulations to A Capella Group (College), NUS Resonance (Open) & A-Five (International) for winning!

Here are the cuts of the winning groups.

Okay, I know I am a little bias with A-Five, but it's not always that you get to see and listen an overseas A Capella group right?


I actually took a video of A Capella Group talking to the camera, or so I thought.

Either I didn't press hard enough, or the camera button not that sensitive enough, 

I videoed, I thought I filmed them, but to check later IT WASN'T THERE.

It was too late for me to retake the video as most of the members left the venue.

It's really wasted, and I learn my lesson.

Double check, always.

Oh, and the group from Korea, A-Five is really awesome.

Most of the audience are either supporters, friends or family members.

Yet when A-Five came up stage, the entire place went crazy with them.

I heard shouts of SARANG-HAE (I Love You in Korean)

They are really good, composed their own song.

Released their own album.

Anyway here are some photos.

A Capella Group + A Capella Group Too

I am really very sorry about the video recording if any of you are reading this, but kudos to the performance, really.

Congratulation!

They have their own YouTube group so go check it out

http://www.youtube.com/tagofficiall

and a photo of me and them!

Not forgetting...

A-FIVE!!!!! 

on a side note, I DON'T KNOW what happened to my fringe up there, omg center parting -.-

bought their album too and got it signed!

I did another cover!!!

I did another cover!! YEAH!

Went to cover A Capella international on Saturday, and I was totally in the mood to sing, so I did another cover!

I got this weird ang moh accent while singing >< 

    

Cookie is vlog-ing!!!!

YES YES YES I am vlog-ing, am actually trying and venturing out to videography?

I always liked videography and that's why I am in this industry right?

So, since I am covering the SHINE Youth Festival as a videographer blogger, so let me start my vlogs!

Really find my voice weird online, haha, like a little "teh" (act cute) and weird accent, it's really awkward. 

Then again, it's fun too.

Jayesslee Perfomance at Dell-Intel Youth Concert

I have finally managed to upload the videos I took on YouTube!

Only 2 videos though and the video camera decided to died on me. 

Will be editing the others photos and videos for the entire SHINE Youth Festival 2012 opening, so wait for that post.

For now, 

JAYESSLEE

I just can't explain how awesome and inspirational the two of them are. 

They are like pretty and talented, and down right humble even with all the fame and all.

This is Jet Lag by Simple Plan, the first song they sung at the concert. 

Watch it till the end, cause I recorded part of them talking too. 

and here's Nobody by Wondergirls

It's missing the intro, I thought I actually pressed record but I didn't.
Too busy being mesmerized by their voice, being LIVE, right infront of me.
I am just so damn freaking excited alright?

TehPeng and I were like OMFG going crazy, screaming WE LOVE YOU to them.
Yes, I love them lots, and I know a lot of you people too!

Wait, wait.... for my post on the opening, workshop and MORE OF JAYESSLEE

Take the Lead - Tango

Ever remembering watching Take the Lead?

I was wiki-ing here and there and then I went to youtube.

and this is my favourite scene of the movie.
Seriously love the dance right here, and I don't mind watching it again and again and again.

Always wanted to learn ballroom and such, but people kept telling me that I shouldn't cause I will fall, badly, in heels some more.

I am so going to re-watch this movie, and I really like his accent!!
Antonio Banderas, it is.

POST : 2011.11.17 那些年，我们一起追的女孩

那些年，我们一起追的女孩

I finally went and watch this show, together with tonton and alfred @ JP.

This is one damn show that everyone was looking forward to watch.
Taiwan really made some god damn nice shows?
They should really show more of it here in Singapore, oh pretty please.

 It's your typical Taiwan high school love story, with a happy yet not ending.
They didn't got together in the end?
Still remains as good friends instead.
 It's the thoughts and the feelings they portrayed inside the show.

The funny parts of it just make the entire hall laughed out loud, I couldn't stop smiling and laughing throughout.
Yet, there were part that I felt touched, and teared a little, just a little.
I prepared tissue for the movie actually, and thought that I would have bawled my eyes out, but I didn't.

It wasn't that bad after all.
The real life love story of the director/author?
 It was a real different to the novel.
 It's like two separate stories I could say. I couldn't really get the feelings off the novel?
The passing phrase and chasing part are so different.
The hilarious parts in the movies are not there in the novel.

Personally, I prefer the movie way more.

 Like for the entire day, the song was stuck in my mind, and I couldn't stop humming the melody to the chorus.

For everyone out there. The MV of 那些年

the real HAPPY FEET

I couldn't stop smiling while watching this.

The Cookie Obession

This animation is damn cute.
Simple plot, but yet funny and intersting.

 おもしろい。

寂寞寂寞就好

I'm like in love with this song recently.
It's so touching, I think. The lyrics.
Sometimes I feel the way, not like lovely dovey or what. I mean being alone.
Although I hate being left alone. oh whatever.

Enjoy.

Im moody and cranky this few days, a sad ballad will fit.

(Lyrics might not be 100% correct)

還是原來那個我 不過撂掉幾公升淚所以變瘦

對著鏡子我承諾 遲早我會換這張臉應對笑容

不算什麼 愛錯就愛錯

早點認錯 早一點解脫

我寂寞寂寞就好

這時候誰都別來安慰 擁抱

就讓我一個人去痛到受不了

傷到 快瘋掉 死不了就還好

我寂寞寂寞就好

你真的不用來我回憶裡 微笑

我就不相信我會笨到 忘不了

賴著 不放掉 人本來就寂寞的

借來的都該還掉

我總會把你戒掉

還是原來那個你 是我自己做夢你又改變什麼

再多的愛也沒用 每個人有每個人的業障因果

會有什麼 什麼都沒有 早點看破 才看的見以後

我寂寞寂寞就好

這時候誰都別來安慰 擁抱

就讓我一個人去痛到受不了

傷到 快瘋掉 死不了就還好

我寂寞寂寞就好

你真的不用來我回憶裡 微笑

我就不相信我會笨到 忘不了

賴著 不放掉 人本來就寂寞的

我總會把你戒掉

TOP <3
